"We come to their house, let ourselves in, we take the dog, they go play for the day, and we bring them back again at the end," laughs Erin McCarthy, owner of Creature Comfort. "They know their routine. They know what time we are showing up. They are waiting eagerly at the door."
Creature Comfort started 25 years ago by two Marblehead men, but McCarthy and her husband took over the business a few years ago. Their buses hold 16 dogs, and it takes them an hour to gather the pups. Each one has a specific seat they like to sit in, and often a seatmate they like to sit with.
