Hello my name is Jay Stebbins. I created Fido Loves in order to help other Boston dog lovers find the people and places which enhance the lives of both dogs and their owners. I am taking my time to go photograph, interview and gain first hand knowledge for the articles I write for Fido Loves.
I work as a pet friendly real estate agent here in Boston. My specialty is finding apartments and homes for dog owners. By writing the Fido Loves articles I have gained an intricate knowledge of the Boston neighborhoods and how they relate to dog owners. By focusing on dog friendly properties and neighborhoods I have had the time for my Fido Loves project.
