A Boston Terrier's sitter bag should hold a week of his own measured food, a harness, a burrowing blanket, a soft toy, and clear notes about heat, feeding, and sleep. This is a small dog with a big personality and a short muzzle, and the details that keep him comfortable are different from the details that keep a larger, longer-nosed dog comfortable. Pack for the dog in front of you, not for dogs in general.
Food Portions for a Boston Terrier's Sensitive Tummy
Measure your Boston Terrier's food into daily portions so the sitter cannot accidentally overfeed a dog who will always argue he is starving. Boston Terriers are prone to gassiness, and rich extras or a sudden brand swap make a small house very fragrant very fast. Include only his usual treats, in a small pot, and note that table scraps are off the menu even when he deploys his most pleading face. Write feeding times down too, because a Boston who eats on schedule settles on schedule, and a hungry one will lobby the sitter at full volume from late afternoon.
Walking Gear That Suits a Short Muzzle
Pack a harness for your Boston Terrier rather than relying on a collar, since pressure on the neck of a short-muzzled dog can make breathing harder work than it needs to be. Add his familiar lead, waste bags, and a note to walk in the cooler morning and evening rather than at midday. State plainly that he must never be left in a parked car or a hot, closed room, and that heavy panting, drooling, or wobbliness outdoors means the walk ends, shade and water come first, and you and a vet are called if he does not recover quickly. Short, cheerful outings suit this breed far better than one heroic hike.
The Burrow Blanket and Other Non-Negotiables
A Boston Terrier's burrow blanket is not an optional extra, because many of these dogs sleep by tunnelling under covers until only a snore gives them away. Pack the blanket he uses at home, unwashed, plus one soft toy he carries around. Note where he usually sleeps, whether he is allowed on the sofa, and the bedtime routine that switches him off. Bostons are people-focused dogs, so also warn the sitter that he will follow them from room to room, supervise every meal preparation, and consider a closed bathroom door a personal insult.
Health Notes, Contacts, and Quiet-Day Guidance
Leave your number, a backup contact, and your Boston Terrier's vet details with the bag, plus notes on his normal snoring and breathing sounds so the sitter knows his baseline. Flag anything specific: eyes that need a gentle wipe, folds that should stay clean and dry, or a chest that sounds rattly when he is overtired. Ask the sitter to call you if he refuses food for a full day, breathes noisily at rest, or seems unusually flat, and to go straight to a vet for laboured breathing. Rest days should be described too, because a Boston who misses his people may go quiet rather than wild.
