Dog Sitters in Auburndale, MA

I can't say enough great things about The Dog Scoop! They take exceptional care of my dog, Poppy, and always greet her by name the moment she arrives. They also remember me, making the pick-up process quick and easy. Purchasing packages online is seamless, and I appreciate how communicative they are, especially when it comes to holiday observances or any health concerns. I absolutely love how tired and happy Poppy is after every visit – it's clear she's had a fun, active day. Thank you to all the wonderful employees at The Dog Scoop!!

My very sensitive rescue has been at the Dog Scoop for 3 years. I wouldn’t want her with any other daycare! The staff are nothing short of incredible. Dedicated, fastidious, empathetic. Total dog lovers.

Our dogs 2nd home! Even after moving, we still choose this place above all. The staff is awesome and the dogs get both inside and outside options.

My dog Winston LOVES the dog scoop & so do I! He was going to a different daycare since he was a puppy, but they ended up closing and I needed a new place. I did have to go on a waitlist for him to get in, but it was totally worth the wait! The staff are so attentive and Winston loves them! Even overnights, he did totally fine. I am definitely a "helicopter" mom, so I like to know how my dog is doing when he goes to new places.. They were so nice to me and always kept me in the loop and didn't get frustrated when I'd call or email asking how my dog was doing in the beginning. Now, they have my full trust and I know they take the best care with their dogs as I've seen it with my dog! Highly recommend, even if there's a wait to get in it's TOTALLY worth it!!

We love the Dog Scoop and so does our high-energy dog! They are always friendly, kind, help sort out what you and your dog needs. The access to both indoor and outdoor space makes this place perfect for our dog. We are just so grateful to have the extended support for our dog through Dog Scoop.

We have been taking our dog to The Dog Scoop for 7 years, they are amazing! They have been wonderful and accommodating and are just the best! We love them sooo much and so does our dog!

Our dog always came back tired and happy which is FANTASTIC...however, from the owner's perspective, I have decided to take my dog to a different facility. More often than not, the daycare charge would come in incorrectly for 2 dogs, so I would have to wait for the invoice to be corrected before settling the payment. I can deal with that but the most alarming thing to me was on my most recent (and final) visit. When I came to pick up my dog, they handed me someone else's dog with the same name without even checking who I was. I could have very easily just walked into the facility, asked for a random name and left with someone else's dog or someone could leave with mine. This left me really upset because I should be able to trust that my dog is being kept safe. With this, unfortunately we will not be returning to the dog scoop.

Great dog day care and overnight location. We send our dogs here whenever we are out of town. People are really friendly care about dogs. Daycare allows dropins which is really nice for unexpected times you may need a sitter. The dogs are required to spend a few days in daycare before being allowed to stay overnight.

The groomers are the best around the area. I drive from a few towns away to see them. The entire staff is always friendly and always very caring. My dogs are both always very happy to be there. Have tried in the past other places but my dogs were nervous and at the dog scoop they help me with that at the door! Thanks guys!

Our dog has been going here for a few years now. They're fantastic. They know what they're doing. Good communication. They seem very responsible and helpful. Our dog had some random behavioral problem and they were extremely flexible and helpful.

I have been using Pooch Hotel since 2021. Back then, I had difficulty finding a suitable place for my dog that could accommodate my working hours. Most places only operated from 7 am to 7 pm, but Pooch Hotel was the only one open 24 hours with after-hours pick-up availability. Over the years, I have seen many people come and go and several different management teams. In 2024, I have noticed many positive changes in both the business and the care of our pups. The staff is super nice, friendly, hardworking, professional, and always positive, even during busy times like around the holidays. I love the new facility design, the seasonal treats, and the doggy training sessions I see happening in the afternoon when I come pick up my Leo. If you’re looking for a place with flexible hours, friendly staff, a nice facility, and a convenient location, this is the place for you ☺️

Jen is awesome! My dog is a rescue and with Jen’s help his behavior improved. She has made him more comfortable in certain situations. He loves to see her!

Garcia was very well taken care of and loved by all staff. They were attentive to her needs and mine as well. I felt very comfortable and assured with her stay. Great place!!! Will see you all again !!!!

My dog Maple ABSOLUTELY LOVES THE POOCH HOTEL! The staff are kind, responsible and very communicative. Maple is a rescue who had a tough start to life, she was very nervous the first day of Daycare. After one week, she became excited everyday for the Pooch Hotel. The staff are always there to greet everyone with a smile. I am so thankful for them!

The Pooch Hotel team is absolutely incredible. Our dog Kobe is SO excited every time we take him to the hotel for boarding. He runs around and kisses all of the employees and his butt wiggles so fast because of how hard he wags his tail. I watch on the webcam and see how happy he is during play group. The staff are so well trained and interact with the dogs during play groups so professionally. When we pick him up, he’s happy to see us, but also again runs around to kiss and say goodbye to the employees. I’m so happy that we found this place. Worth every penny. Thank you endlessly for treating our dog as family. The Pupdates are always incredible as well.

We used this groomer for the first time for our large dog and it was the best grooming he's ever had. He looks so clean, cute, and fluffy and he wasn’t anxious or stressed after his appointment with Ballie, the groomer. They were very sweet to work with and quick with the appointment. So happy we made the change and thrilled with his cut and care.🐾

Updating my review to 4 stars. Originally I was very concerned with how my dog's trial was handled, but Pooch Hotel followed up with me over the phone to explain the situation. The person I spoke to was very helpful and explained that unexpected staffing issues caused the trials to not go as expected that day. She walked me through how my dog's care was approached and, as he's quite anxious in new surroundings, I felt more confident that his specific needs were considered. Considering all the positive reviews for Pooch Hotel, I had been hopeful that our original experience was not the norm, and I'm pleased that this appears to be the case. We are so appreciative of the quality care he’s received!

Pooch Hotel took great care of my dog. Jasper loves playtime with other dogs. They sent me reports regarding his interaction with other dogs and his behavior with pictures of him during playtime. They also monitored his health. Jasper is always excited when I drop him off which means he likes Pooch Hotel.

Have been bringing my chocolate lab here for occasional boarding for the last few months and have had a really wonderful experience. He willingly walks into Pooch Hotel with excitement. I love that I can watch him on the webcam during play time periodically throughout the day with no additional cost. Finally, the staff has seemed to be quite consistent over the last few months, which is nice to see employees’ faces again and again over time. Highly recommend!

What a great experience and our/our son's pup, Scout. It is clear that the staff at Pooch Hotel love and care for dogs and making a puppy's day away from home easy and comfortable. We were so reassured and relaxed by the team's caring and empathy (for Scout and for us). Thank you, Pooch Hotel.

We are so grateful for Annie's service while we lived in Waltham. The website is so easy to use to request services and I loved the daily emails after her visits. While my cat is skittish of everyone, Annie took the time to make sure she felt comfortable during her visits. She also came over a visit before our first visit to get to know us and our cat. I highly recommend Annie for pet services!

We’ve used Annie’s services twice so far, and will definitely keep doing so! The scheduling is easy to do, and she’s easy to communicate with and so sweet. We loved receiving the updates and photos of our Bob! Leaving our baby has always been so difficult, but it’s easier now knowing he’s always in such good hands :)

Annie was my sitter for my cat Brendan when I temporarily lived in Waltham for work. Annie took care of Brendan on a few last minute urgent occasions. Once I was gone for 2 weeks. She really saved me. She’s a lovely person who truly loves animals. When I returned from being out of town Brendan always looked content and litter box clean. You and your pet will love Annie.

New to the area and needed in-home cat care on fairly short notice. Annie offers a variety of services at reasonable prices - it was easy to request services, get a consult, and schedule what we needed. Annie is fun, thorough, and professional - will definitely use again.

As always fantastic care of my kitties!

We love Wags 4 Walks! Kim and her walker Dave are the best. They are very communicative and SO passionate about dogs. Our dog Tate is fairly anxious and he didn't love the previous playgroup he went to. Dave takes Tate for hikes with a small group of dogs twice a week and he is obsessed! He waits for Dave at the door even on days he's not going hiking. Highly recommend!!!

This is the most amazing dog walking service I have known - and between my current dog Houdini and my former dog Spenser I have used at least five services. Kim and her staff are attuned to the dogs in their care and attentive to their needs. Houdini and I could not be happier! The photo of the energetic and ecstatic Houdini was taken by his Wags4Walks walker.

Kim & Wags have been helping me with my dog walking/sitting needs for close to 15 years. Over that time some of the the walker's faces have changed but the commitment to her clients happiness, both 2 legged and 4, has remained Kim's number one priority. Dog owners are a particular breed of folk and often view their pooches as members of the family. Whether it be dietary & health needs or extra layers to combat the changing seasons, they often put their pets needs ahead of their own. I used to laugh at such people...and then I became one. I was extremely selective of who I could trust my dog, Wyatt, to when the need popped up. Keeping a watchful eye on 80lbs of Boxer energy is a lot to ask of anyone. To be able to do so without compromising the rest of her group was amazing. And if Kim thought his energy would be a bit too much at times, she'd let me know, and offer an alternative solution. She has been willing and able to help with dog's of friends and family as well...flexible, helpful, capable, & loves what she does. Can't ask for much more than that!

We have had the pleasure of knowing Kim and her fab team for over 5 years. Our dog Raffe looks forward to camp each week! Kim and her team treat Raffe like one of their own with love, compassion, and trust! The team helped Raffe socialize with other dogs since he was a puppy. He just loves his friends that he's met at Wags4Walks. There are not enough stars to rate Wags4Walks!

We have had the pleasure of working with Kim and her team since the summer of 2022 and couldn't be happier with the level of care, professionalism, and overall attentiveness. We have a giant breed puppy (Newfoundland) and owe much to Kim's team for the progress we've made with socialization and training. We utilize Kim's team for both walks and pet sitting and have nothing but good things to say about them. Everyone that we've interacted with is a kind and thoughtful dog lover. Wags 4 Walks has our full confidence and continues to exceed our expectations.

Wags4Walks is the best. We've been using them since our puppy was around 7 months old, and it's been amazing how much he's bonded with his walker. Kim, the owner, is incredibly responsive and accommodating, and it's clear that all her employees really love what they do. I know that every time our pup heads out, he'll come home ready for a nap after running around with all his buddies!

I highly recommend Kim and her team for dog walking! My goldendoodle absolutely loves going to the play groups with Wags 4 Walks. When I get home from work, she is always tired and happy! Also, they are incredibly reliable--I know they are taking good care of my dog while she is with them. Once again, highly recommended! I am so glad to have found them!

Kim is absolutely the best, her and her team are amazing with dogs and take such great care of them like they are their own family. Our Stella really came out of her shell thru her experience with Wags 4 Walks, and truly looked forward to her walks every single day. We actually have a video of Stella greeting Shannon at the door, her excitement to be with her and the other dogs is like nothing I've seen before. I highly recommend Kim and her team, the are simply the best around!

Great People and Happy Puppies! Kim runs a fantastic business. The dog walkers are thoughtful, communicative and really love dogs. Because of Kim's business model, she has back up folks so you aren't impacted if someone has to take a prolonged vacation etc. Like daycare, the walker leaves a note and lets you know how your "fur babies" did durning the visit. If something is "off" they contact you directly and immediately (like the time one of our dogs was at the vet and I forgot to tell them). We have used three other dog walking services in the past and Wags4Walks rates up there with the best.

Kim and her team are hands down the best dog walkers we've had for our labs. Our last lab was very active and playgroups tuckered him out. Once he became a tripawd, Kim and her team were there to help him and walk him and give him tons of love. We now have a 1 year old who loves going on playgroups with Kim and her team. They are consummate professionals who love my dogs just as much as we do. We love Wags4Walks!!!

Kassandra has been pet sitting for us for many years. We feel very comfortable and trusting Kassandra with both the care of our family members as well as our home. Whether we are out for an afternoon or gone for a week, I can fully vouch for Kassandra’s. Pet care. Thank you for many years of great service.

We had such an amazing experience with Kassandra’s pet care. She watched our 1 year old puppy for a week while we traveled outside the country . She was very responsive and sent us multiple daily updates with photos & videos! Our puppy had a lot of energy and Kassandra’s close proximity to a large park was perfect. We never waited more than 10 minutes for a text back . We will definitely use her services again and would highly recommend her.

Kassandra is a great and conscientious pet sitter! Our cats love her, and she’s always been super thoughtful and careful about looking after them, whatever needs they may have at the moment. Definitely recommend her!

Kassandra has been a fantastic and reliable pet sitter for my cat Shiro! Her communication (via text and email) is consistently prompt, and she has always provided video updates when checking-in on my cat - which are always a great reminder that my fur buddy is doing well and in good hands! I have been traveling several times a year (including two separate vacations that were each one month long), and I have always felt reassured that my cat is being watched by someone so caring and responsible. I would absolutely recommend Kassandra to anyone in need of a pet sitter.

Kassandra is amazing!! We have two kitties and she takes such amazing care of them when we have to be away. Kassandra goes above and beyond to communicate with us, send us pictures, and makes us feel at ease. She makes sure the kitties are well cared for, get their play time and they barely notice that we are gone. I would highly recommend Kassandra to anyone that needs pet care

We have been using Kassandra’s services for several years now to help take care of our cat Izzy when we are out of town. She is fantastic and super reliable! She comes to our apartment to give her food and fresh water, and keeps her company for a while since she’s alone in the house all day. We’re very picky with our cat sitters as our Izzy is very shy and has some eating restrictions, and Izzy loves when Kassandra comes to visit! She sends us lots of photos and videos of Izzy coming to the door to greet her purring and asking for pets, or snuggled up on her lap looking happy as can be. Her daily updates help us feel at ease knowing Izzy is being so well cared for while we are away. I would recommend Kassandra to anybody looking for a caring and attentive pet sitter!

I can’t recommend Kassandra enough! She is friendly, helpful and reliable, and always takes fantastic care of my cat when I’m away, including sending text updates with videos each time she visits. She is very responsive and flexible with scheduling visits as well, which makes traveling much easier. It’s been great to find a cat sitter who is so dependable and who I can tell really cares for the animals she is taking care of. And most importantly, I can tell my cat always feels happy and secure hanging out with her too :) Highly recommend.

I can’t recommend Kassandra enough for the all important job of providing care to your beloved pets! She is incredibly committed, thorough, and absolutely adored by our two cats. Before our first trip away, she came over to meet the cats and become familiar with their environment. Each day she texted us brief recaps of her two visits and sent photos and videos of our happy and healthy boys. Any pet who will be out of their owner’s care for a period of time will be very happy to have Kassandra visit until their human gets home!

I can’t say enough good things about Kassandra as a pet sitter! She has been taking care of my two cats, Andy and Charley, and has been an absolute gem. Andy is quite shy, while Charley is playful and energetic, but both of them adore her. Kassandra has a knack for understanding each of their personalities and creating a calm, happy environment for them. She sends regular updates and photos, giving me complete peace of mind. Her dedication and genuine love for animals really shine through. I highly recommend Kassandra to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter.

Kassandra was our dog walker for many years and our dog LOVED her!!! Daisydoo couldn't contain herself any time Kassandra came to pick her up and would even try and get into a car that looked like hers!!! Kassandra was incredibly dependable and reliable and rarely took time off without giving us plenty of advance notice to make other arrangements when need be. She was also very accommodating to any changes in our schedule and would often help us out last minute when an emergency arose. The only reason we stopped seeing Kassandra was because we moved too far way otherwise we would still be using her on a regular basis. She's the best!

My husband and I are so grateful for Paws to Consider walking service. They have been wonderful to our dog Oreo, and were always reliable and easy to communicate with. We loved the updates we would get about their walks with Oreo! We would absolutely recommend Paws to Consider !!

We absolutely love Paws to Consider and their team! They have been walking our Bassett/Lab mix, Finn, for a couple of months now and he loves them. They are so reliable, very responsive, and accommodating to our work schedules. Plus, they even provide daily pictures which we love (see below)!! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for dog walking or overnight sitting.

We love Paws to Consider! They take wonderful care of our dog Bella, scheduling is very easy through their portal, and they are very communicative. The updates we get about how the walks went are the BEST. So informative with tons of pictures. It’s obvious they really care and do a great job!

Paws To Consider is a wonderful dog walking service. Their walkers are professional and friendly, on time and really seem to love my dog. Cricket can be a little difficult to meet, as she has a stranger/danger reaction sometimes, but Paws does a great job of introducing new walkers to Cricket. They are great, and help me out so much with my sweet dog. Also, their level of and clear communication is fantastic. Couldn't be happier with these guys!

Very happy with the dog walking service these past few months! My corgi gets a good walk in, treats, and cute photos taken. They have been very accommodating with any last minute schedule changes. Would highly recommend!

Our neighbors recommended Paws to us three years ago and we have been scheduling occasional walks and sitting for our dog, Jack, since then. The shelter where we adopted Jack would only release him to a forever home with no other dogs since he was surrendered due to his aggressive behavior with other dogs. None of his walkers/sitters at Paws have reported any problems and frequently seem to do a better job of controlling his behavior than we do. Paws even recommended a harness which Jack seems to be much more comfortable with than the collar we were using. We love the frequent updates that the walkers/sitters provide after each walk including lots of really great photographs, maps of the routes walked, and number of bowel movements. It would be difficult to leave Jack in a kennel and we feel much more comfortable having the sitters from Paws stay with Jack at our home. We’ve always found our home as clean, orderly, and secure as we left it. All of the walkers and sitters at Paws have gotten along so well with Jack that we haven’t had to worry and sometimes even get a bit envious. We would highly recommend Paws to anyone.

We utilize dog walking services for our Goldendoodle puppy. We have found them to be exceptional! Excellent communication, Extremely organized, Reliable dog care are just a few of the things we like best. Our puppy can be difficult at times on walks and anxious around strangers. Jana has been extremely good for our pup. I always have peace of mind when I go to work. I love the report cards we get with photos. They are caring, professional and flexible. Walks are solo or with 1 compatible dog. I love that about them. It’s definitely a more personalized approach and they are very thoughtful with transitions when it comes to introducing our pup to other dog walkers they build in additional time.

Been using Paws for years (6+) and would (and did) highly recommend! They are exceptionally accommodating to fluctuating work schedules and are great with walking an extra dog, when I dog sit for friends.

Paws To Consider has been incredible! We adopted a dog last year who ended up being somewhat high maintenance. Paws To Consider has taken SUCH good care of him on his weekly walks. The post-walk messages and photos are thorough and fun to see. The administrative team has also been really helpful and flexible with our varying schedule. We are sadly moving out of their radius, and I know we won't find a dog walker that our dog bonds with as much!

I have used Paws to Consider dog walking service since September 2022 for my dog Charlie. We were new to the area and took a chance. We discovered Paws to Consider is an exceptional and reliable petsitting company! The walkers are carefully vetted, and I get photos and updates after every visit. The office is responsive when we need to make schedule changes. I have used a number of dogwalkers over the years, and Paws to Consider is the absolute BEST in the area!!!!!!

My husband, pup, and I moved to California literally over a year ago and still talk about how wonderful Tail Waggerz is as a day care and boarding facility. We have not been able to find anywhere in LA that comes close to the Tail Waggerz experience. The staff is SO caring and sweet. The facility is wonderful--indoor and outdoor spaces. And the doggie/staff crate-free sleepovers are exactly the environment my dog wants if he's not at his own house. We miss you, Tail Waggerz!!

My pup loves these groomers and so do I! Always fast and great, lovely and good vibes. Pricing is fair and transparent.

Very professional in booking appointments and running their business. Liked that they fit my dog in within a week's time. Groomer did a fast and incredible job with my dog.

My husband and I booked our mini dachshund puppy for his first grooming appointment at TailWaggerz and we are extremely happy with their services! The front desk person was very friendly and showed us a video of our puppy playing with another dog while he waited to get picked up. The price was reasonable and our puppy came home smelling and looking great (with a very festive St. Patrick's bandana!)

We are so grateful for Tail Waggerz. Our dog has been a regular at daycare since he was a puppy and always comes home tired and happy. The staff is super friendly and knows the details of our dog's day. It's also incredibly convenient that they have grooming attached in the back. Usually our dog only has his nails trimmed. Yesterday we had the very unfortunate experience of having our dog sprayed by a skunk. The smell was obviously horrible. We brought him in for grooming and the job they did with him was amazing. We are so grateful and relieved.

My pup loves this place! Feels safe, makes friends and is excited every time we go there!

I couldn’t be happier with Tail Waggerz. I did what most people do. Take to the local Facebook community forum and ask for opinions on where to take my very shaggy golden retriever. I had been going to Petco , which was great, but they never had availability sooner than one month. I got an appointment next day due to a cancellation. Filled out the online intake form , had my vet forward vaccinations and we were off. He was nice and trim, bright coat, smelled like a million bucks! Price was amazing and less than Petco. Can’t recommend Tail Waggerz enough.

Truly couldn’t be happier with my experience thus far, after switching my pup to TW after four years at another daycare in brookline that I knew my dog loved, but I was highly uncomfortable with the people who worked there and the frequent turnover of staff. I feel confident dropping Honey off everyday, and she feels safe and so excited to see her new favorite staff and dog friends. Her boarding experiences have been seamless and she comes home SO happy, as well. She is a tail wagger everyday after tail Waggerz. She didn’t go one day this past week, and I had to deal with her mini tantrum about having to stay home with me. But I digress… Everyone who works there is extraordinarily professional and nice. Robyn, Megan, Abbie especially, and of course everyone else are so friendly and fantastic with dogs. I appreciate that both the staff and dog pack at TW is tailored to meet everyone’s needs, including owners’. What a fantastic place and community to be a part of.

This place is the best! We were taking our dog to a different facility before because, being a Boston Terrier puppy, he would not know when to stop playing and we felt going somewhere where he would be in a private room for a few hours between play times would be a good fit. After a few months going there we noticed the quality of the service began to go downhill... They forgot about more than one meal, causing him to develop a new behavior (started nipping our feet when he was hungry, which has been hard to untrain) due to being put in his room without food. Gladly, we found Tail Waggerz! First of all, all employees are clearly dog people and seem to really enjoy their jobs! They are attentive, keep me informed of everything that happens during the day, and he LOVES going there. Price is fair and there is a good discount for packages. They are always posting great pics and videos of all the fun the dogs are having on Facebook. Have not tried their grooming services yet but I heard great things about them. Keep up the good work!

Tail Waggerz is a 2nd home to my Lily. They are staffed with wonderful, animal-loving humans. I trust Tail Waggerz completely. I know Lily is well taken care of and having a great time. I have nothing but the best to say about Tail Waggerz.

The absolute best pet care service in Boston! I have used Happy Pet Care for cat visits for years now and they deliver first class service every single time. They took dedicated time to understand my cat's personality and needs before their first visit and I love that I get pictures of him and updates for each visit. Each time I come home I can tell he was very loved and had lots of play time. I truly can't recommend this service enough and am incredibly grateful for them all!

I had the best experience with Happy Pet Care. Mary's team is nothing short of stellar. They are well-priced, reliable, professional, and super flexible. Over the few years that Mary's team walked Annie, I needed help on short notice -- sometime on weekends -- and they always came through for me. I would highly recommend Happy Pet Care!

Their business model goes beyond words. It is genuinely the best furry friend support I could have asked for. I work two jobs and go to school full time. These folks are so thorough with my instructions (shout out to Jen) that I genuinely feel that my dog is safe and in the best set of hands. Anytime I've had an any acute issues, the owner is quick to respond and resolve/talk things through. I appreciate the open communication and quality care Happy Pet Care offers. I could not think about ever going anywhere else! The best business I've worked with thus far.

Happy pet care took care of my cats while I went away for a few days. Mary was very quick at communicating and setting things up smoothly and efficiently. The cat sitters were great, giving me daily reports with pictures which made me feel confident they were very well taken care of. I came back to kitties that were happy and healthy. I trust and highly recommend Happy pet care!

When I lived in Fenway I used to use Rover for all my pet sitting needs. But it was a pricy service and I had to do a lot of research and vetting when choosing someone who would look after our small dog. I moved to Brighton during the pandemic and have since relied on Happy Pet Care for all our walking and sitting needs. Mary, the owner is extremely good at communicating. She is quick to schedule us in even the night before (so sorry Mary). We set up autopay so I don't have to worry about the hassle and with fixed rates every time I know exactly what the cost will be upfront as opposed to Rover which can charge me different rates depending on who is working. Happy Pet Care did increase their prices during the end of the pandemic to adjust for the rise in cost of living. I appreciated the transparency about the cost increase and the sensitivity with which it was communicated to me. I would also like to personally recommend Debra, who has cared for our dog multiple times. I feel that everyone at Happy Pet Care gets to know my dog, and seeing the same people get to know her makes me feel secure that she is in good hands and that she can recognize who is caring for her without the added stress of meeting a stranger. Happy Pet Care is a great small business that we can rely on. I have been recommending their services to new dog owners in the area and I would certainly recommend them to you.

I needed a dog walker in Brighton for our new rescue and came across glowing reviews for Happy Pet Care. They are professional, super flexible, and really care about your pet. Mary is very easy to work with and very responsive. Our first meeting was with Jen and she was great with our dog and asked all the right questions. Sean was our main dog walker and he was so caring with our dog - she is 12 years old and he never got annoyed with how slow she needed to walk. The prices are very reasonable, especially for the level of quality care you get. We will greatly miss their services in the suburbs!

We've been using Happy Pet Care for dog walks 2-3 times per week since we adopted our lab mix puppy (now over a year ago). Mary is always so responsive, kind and flexible - which is so important when you have a dog. There have been multiple occasions where we need to switch days, length of walks, or add on an additional walk. Mary has almost always been able to accommodate us! Our walker is mostly either Sophia, Jen, or Mary herself. My pup can be nervous around new people when her humans aren't around, and they have all been wonderfully patient with our pup. Thanks for helping us care for our fur baby! Updated review: It has now been 2.5 years using Happy Pet Care. We could not ask for a better, more reliable, patient, understanding, and kind dog walking service. We've had Mary, Sophia, Jen, Matt, and Debra walk our pup - and they've all been great. Mary is always very responsive, and easy to work with, even with last minute changes. Additionally, her prices have not gone up, while other services we use for our pup have. The dog walks are high quality with a great price, and a lot of flexibility (because life happens). We're sad that our pup won't have them for her mid day walks while we're at work after we move.

I totally recommend these lovely people. Bek does a fast kind and amazing job on a very nervous Woody. Sooo happy I found her she’s amazing, thanks so very much for the best nails experience since I arrived. 👍🏼😁❤️ …

I spent two weeks out of town and Lisa from Happy Pet Care came by my apartment twice a day to look after my rabbit, Auggie. I've never left my bun alone for a such a long time and was initially anxious about the separation, but Lisa was wonderful in every way. First, she had previous experience caring for her own rabbit, which was important to me because rabbits are nonverbal creatures and require someone who is familiar with their signs of illness or distress. Second, she sent sweet text and photos updates of Auggie twice a day, and it was apparent that he was both happy and comfortable in her care. Third, Lisa went above and beyond in caring for my bun--she weathered fierce storms to check on him, doted on him with his favorite salad greens, arranged a last-minute emergency visit when my flight home was delayed, and showered him with so much affection that not once did I worry about Auggie during the two weeks that I was gone. Can't recommend Happy Pet Care enough, and Ms. Lisa especially! She's my go-to gal from here on out whenever I'm heading out of town.

We have been using Happy Pet Care for about two years now and we could not be happier with the thoughtful, thorough care they have provided for our two dogs and two cats over this time. We have relied on Mary and her staff for individual walks, taxis, and cat sitting. We simply would not be able to manage our lives without Happy Pet Care. Mary is wonderfully responsive and always works hard to accommodate our requests, even when we have to make them at the last minute due to unforeseen changes. Mary's staff, particularly Jen and Renee, have always been nothing short of amazing. Renee in particular always goes so far above and beyond, and she treats all our pets like they were her own. We consider ourselves and our pets to be very lucky to have connected with Mary and her staff.

We can not say enough great things about Shannon, Siobhan, and the Good Hound Team. The Good Hound has taken care of our Samoyed and two huskies for years. They understand high energy dogs and the training, off leash hikes are amazing. They try and accommodate our requests for added hikes on busy days and are always communicative and responsive. They understand the personality of each dog, and strive for success for everyone in the "pack". Literally can not say enough great things about the entire team.

Our dog has been with The Good Hound since he was a puppy and he’s now 11! They’re wonderful as trainers, walkers, and providers of a second home when we’re away. He loves Shannon and Siobhan and we fully trust anyone they employ. Wonderful business, very caring ppl!

Amazing service, we love them. They are my fur baby’s second family! We have been with them for past 4 years, my pup has several weekly off leash walks and I am so thankful as the team is reliable and always helpful. Shannon and Siobhan are so knowledgeable and have been very helpful with training, organizing boarding and accommodating extra walks when we are in a bind. We love them!

The Good Hound are responsive, responsible, and reliable. Most importantly, our dog absolutely loves her hikes and her hikers -- it is undoubtedly the highlight of her day when they arrive.

The Good Hound is an amazing group of dog loving professionals who swing by our house and take our dog Bruno on adventures. As soon as Bruno sees them pull in he sprints to the back door ready to go!

The best investment I could have made in my rescue puppy. My girl needs a ton of exercise so it was really important for her to be off leash so that she could run through the woods. I turned to The Good Hound because she was starting to wander further away during hikes. The result of the e-collar training that Siobhan provided was amazing. I am now back to stress-free hikes— my puppy has the freedom to run and explore a bit but I can now keep her within a safe radius. We are both very happy!

Siobhan was outstanding with Rugger. She offered great tips and tricks when training and made sure to cover all questions I had. I really appreciated the time she took with me and the interest she showed in making sure Rugger was successful in the future! I would absolutely use The Good Hound again!

The Good Hound is hands down the best dog walking service out there. They take my dog out on hikes every weekday while I'm out at work and I don't know what I'd do without them!

I was referred to the Good Hound by a friend and I had an incredible experience with e-collar training. My 2 yr old Goldendoodle Nova is very shy and timid and Siobhan was able to work with her, earn her trust, and answer any and all questions I had about the training process. With every session, I could begin to see Nova become more comfortable working with Siobhan and eventually became very excited to go to training. After doing this training, I now feel comfortable letting my dog off leash and she responds very well to being recalled. Siobhan is also a great trainer and I would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone who is on the fence about signing up.

My family has been with TGH for 12 years! Our Ruby is so excited to see her walkers in the mornings. TGH is 100% dependable, knows dogs inside and out, and makes sure that the hikes are fun and safe. Dogs are trained as they hike, walkers reinforce all the basic commands, and improve the dogs social skills. You will not find a better company.

Parade of Pets has been been there for my little dog Freeway. I rate an easy 5 star going out to this business owner who has over 25 years of experience in the business. Rates are great for boarding, walking during the day also my dog loves going back for “doggy day care” too. Inquire within for more.

I don’t know who Sarah Jean is who posted a negative review and I have been bringing my dogs to Parade of Pets for 7 years, know most of the dogs who board and play there and I have never found a pet care business that is as dedicated to the love of dogs as this one. Melissa is experienced in caring for all breeds of dogs, is particular in which dogs she allows to care for, carefully considering temperament and safety. She is the dog whisperer and I wouldn’t leave my furry family members with anyone else. Sara Jean - no idea who you are or what you’re issue is as I see you have bashed other businesses as well. Move on and find another hobby. Parade of Pets is the best in the area.

I have been using Parade of Pets for several years. They have provided exceptional care to my animals, attention to detail (mail collection, taking out trash, setting alarm) and have been flexible and responsive to my requests for care. If I could give more than five stars I would!

I've been using parade of pets for several months for both of my anxious, oddball pups. Melissa is incredible, very kind, communicative, and flexible. I definitely recommend her for all your furry friends.

I have used Parade of pets for over 15yrs to take of my dogs. I trust Melissa to take great care of my dog when I am away.

Melissa has taken care of two generations of our cats, and when we moved, we brought her services with us. We are so thankful to have someone we can trust!

Parade of Pets has been my go to cat sitter for several years now! Melissa is so reliable and flexible, and very quick to respond whenever I reach out or have a question. She takes great care of my shy kitty!

I’ve been using Above & Beyond for the past 2.5 years to walk my two dogs, and I can’t recommend them highly enough! They have a wonderful way with my nervous pups, making them feel comfortable and secure. Not only are they incredibly caring, but they are also super communicative, providing daily updates that always brighten my day. Ana especially is amazing. It’s clear that they genuinely love what they do and care about the well-being of the dogs. If you’re looking for someone reliable and kind to take care of your furry friends, look no further!

We've been using Above and Beyond for years, and they truly live up to their name with their above-and-beyond care for our cats. They are responsible, friendly, and genuinely great with animals. Every visit comes with a thoughtful email, complete with a photo collage and a detailed summary, which always gives us peace of mind while we're away. They've also been incredibly flexible, helping us out with last-minute changes and requests without hesitation. Their service is 100% incredible, and we can't imagine trusting anyone else with our pets. Highly recommended!

Above and Beyond Pet Services are the best. Highly recommend. Ana takes very good care of our two puppies, is professional, and treats the dogs with lots of love and attention. Great company, with great people.

We love working with Sarah, Faith and the team. They helped to get my nervous dog more comfortable with taking walks with folks besides me, and they were able to build rapport with her so quickly. Their responsiveness and flexibility has been fantastic for my schedule as well.

Above & Beyond Pet Services is wonderful. I transitioned my King Charles Cavalier to dog walks about 12 months ago from doggie daycare as I realized he preferred the one on one attention. Sophia has been his primary walker for several months now. She is very attentive to Asher and will always mention in her notes if she notices anything out of the ordinary. I met her and she is very kind and caring. I know that Asher is in good hands and that she is able to adjust to his needs each day which differ based on my schedule with him and if we walked the prior night or earlier in the morning. I know that he looks forward to spending time with her whether they walk or play depending on his needs for the day I know she is giving him lots of love and attention. I am so grateful to have this incredible reliable and professional service for my dog who is my family.

Elise and Lillian walked our aging pup under the senior walk program (2x a day). They were both amazing, and Maya loved all of her walkers from A&B, but these two take the cake! Our pup recently passed, but I can't recommend these two or this company enough! When we're ready for another, they'll be getting a call from us! Thank you so much!

We are so grateful for Above and Beyond and the services they provide. When we adopted our puppy, we never expected it to be so hard to find dog care but once we found them, they have been amazing. The entire company, from the office staff to the walkers, especially Katsumi, treats Quinn like she is their own. They are responsive to any question or special need we have and super professional in every interaction, always going above and beyond.

I have used Above and Beyond for 6 years. Inam leaving Boston for Berkeley, CA, and I wish I coupd.take them with me. Both Ted, the.owner, and Sarah, the mamager of all operations for the business, are exceptional. I have.worked very closely with them, especially Sarah, to make sure my cats' needs were addressed, in two settings - my home, and the hotel I stayed in for the last few months in Boston. I have had my fair share of pet sitters over the past thirty years, and Sarah ranks as among the best - clear and persistent, empathetic, professional, and accommodating. I was very lucky to find and engage A&B, as well as to have been the recipient of their generosoty and their professionalism. Here's hoping I find a.comparable provider in Berkeley!

I've been using Above & Beyond for years, and they've always done a great job taking care of my two cats. I have them bring in my mail, in addition to putting out food and water, and scooping the litter. I get nervous about leaving my cats for trips, but the daily email updates A&B sends with photos of the cats and the services they're doing really puts my mind at ease. They've always been easy to schedule and communicate with. Would highly recommend.

Ted and the team helped immensely when we needed immediate care for a family member's cat. They were so communicative and sent photos and a summary every time they came over! I highly recommend their services.
