Dog Sitters in Essex, MA

I highly recommend Barn Dog! We’ve been sending my pup Whiskey since he was about 8 months old. The whole staff is great. We just boarded him there for the first time for 3 nights. I was so nervous to leave him but they reassured me all weekend with pictures and updates. They also offer an exit bath which is the best! He came home clean happy and exhausted!

I cannot say enough good things about Barn Dog. Their staff is friendly and professional, and it's clear they care deeply about all the dogs in their care. When we board our dog while I away they even send us photos so we don't worry. Highly recommend them for daycare and boarding.

We’ve been taking our dog to Barn Dog since she was a puppy and love it! The staff is really caring and clearly work hard to keep all the pups happy and safe. Our pup needs a lot of exercise but always come home from Barn Dog tired and happy.

I initially heard about Barn Dog Day Camp from a friend, I rescued a deaf dog about 4yrs ago. We have never boarded her due to her special needs, and I wanted to see if Barn was a good fit. She has a lot of anxiety, and given she was deaf, a lot of special attention. Peter and his staff were extremely kind and patient with my dog, I appreciate the interview process and all the steps they took. To make sure my dog would be a good fit, that she would enjoy camp, have fun and be safe. Barn dog is very knowledgeable in boarding dogs, and extremely professional. Even though it didn’t work out in our situation I would highly recommend to a friend.

The staff on evaluation day were so knowledgeable. It is very comforting to know how much they know about a dog personality. The facility is very clean. There are great activities and fun stuff for the dogs. My two dogs live it there.

My dog used to be skittish and defensive when meeting new dogs, but I could tell he wanted to make friends. Thanks to Barn Dog, and their super professional handling and thoughtful way of introducing new dogs in the mix, my pup now has a social life, lots of new friends, and new confidence out in the world. He has so much fun at this fantastic facility that now he mopes in boredom when he's at home with just me! I love Barn Dog!

Awesome people and awesome place!! The staff are friendly and helpful and clearly enjoy what they do. My dog LOVES going to Barn Dog and always runs in to greet the staff, which shows me how much love and attention they give the dogs there each day! I cannot say enough good things about Barn Dog!! Love it!

My dog loves going to Barn Dog Daycamp! She gets plenty of exercise and play time with other dogs. The facility is clean and spacious with both indoor and outdoor play areas. Peter’s enthusiastic love for dogs shows in the care he provides at the Barn.

Barn Dog is a great facility with a terrific staff. Our mutt Paco loves it. And we know Paco is very loved at Barn Dog. Peter and Christina and their team always deliver exceptional care. The setting, barn, outdoor space and, most of all, the people are all outstanding.

Thank you, Peter and team for welcoming Ally to The Barn Dog and for taking such good care of her. We appreciated your professionalism and genuine love of dogs. She was very excited to arrive each day!

I’m so happy I signed my dog Ace up for Dingo’s. The staff is knowledgeable and love their furry clients! I received pictures of my dog and a cute little “report card” telling me how he did for the day. He is a rescue and can be nervous, but Chelsey and the team at Dingo’s made sure he was happy and comfortable! He can’t wait to come back, thanks again! 😊

Dingos is the best doggy daycare, boarding, walking, and training! Scooby started attending last fall, and during that time, we have utilized all the services offered. The owner and staff are very in tune with dogs and their needs, cornerstoned on animal and human safety! The portal to sign up for services is easy to use, and the staff is great if you need any help! They are active on social media, so sometimes you will get a nice look into the day your pup is having. Shout out to Nancy, the owner, for her care and concern and excellent communication. Marylin, one of the bus drivers and Scooby's walker, is terrific with my dog and a pleasure to chat with during drop-offs/pick-ups. Fae was outstanding for a short little overnight boarding we needed last month. Lastly, Chelsey, their resident expert behavioral dog trainer, has been essential for our success by helping Scooby not only learn some much-needed basics but also helping us through some challenging situations. Another plus is that they offer fun "experience" add-ons for the daycare. Such as puzzle time, glam photo sessions, mini walks, and even some one-on-one fetch time!

Dingo's has been a godsend after getting our rescue pup earlier this year. The staff is truly genuine in their love for dogs, and they go above and beyond in trying to accommodate and build an environment that is safe and fun for these pups. Not only does our dog have fun, but she comes home exhausted and that gives us a much needed break from the puppy madness - double win! Owner Nancy was also super helpful in finding a unique solution for me to find a place for my pup to stay when my entire family needed to attend an out of state funeral. We had no other options and she rescued us on short notice. Beverly is lucky to have such a great business & staff available to us dog owners. Thank you Dingos!

Dingos is the best! The staff will love and care for your dog as if it is one of their own. When I first brought my dog to them, she was very nervous and frightful. They were patient and gave her extra love to make sure she felt comfortable. Now my dog cannot wait to run into the yard and play. They are always accommodating, and will even send you photos of your pup having fun throughout the day. I wouldn’t send my girl anywhere else! Thank you Eric, Becca, and all of the lovely Dingos staff.

Penny and Nala absolutely LOVE Dingos. The staff has been nothing but warm and welcoming with our new pup. Everytime we mention “dingos” both their ears go up and they get so excited to go. We drive 30+ mins to bring our pups here but it is worth it. We feel completly comfortable and love seeing the picture updates throughout the day on Instagram. We highly highly recommend Dingos! ❤️

We can't say enough good things about Dingo's! We've used their services for both dog sitting and daycare, and our experience with them has been always been great! Every dog sitter who has watched our dog CJ has been awesome, but Fae deserves special recognition for outstanding care last week. We were dealing with the challenges of welcoming a new baby, and Fae and her family went above and beyond to ensure our dog CJ received the love and attention she needed during this busy time. Her dedication and genuine affection for animals truly shone through, and we couldn't be more grateful. She also sends the best updates! We also love sending our pup to daycare because we know she's having a great time with their skilled and attentive staff. It's clear that they prioritize the well-being and happiness of every dog in their care.

We love Dingos and our girl Honey is the happiest when she gets to go to daycare! The staff is super friendly, always greets Honey like she is their own dog! 10/10 cannot recommend enough! She is out like a light too when she comes home- a day well spent :) d

Our dog Walter LOVES Dingo’s! He gets so excited every time we pull into the parking lot. The staff is great and really cares about the dogs. Walter comes home from daycare happy and exhausted. Thank you Dingo’s for taking such great care of our baby!

Our dog Ralph has been going to Dingos for almost a year and I could not have more great things to say about them. They are so attentive to him and keep a close eye on any medical or behavioral concerns we may have. They are so flexible and helpful to fit him in when we need them too. They keep our minds at total ease knowing that Ralph is being treated so well when drop him off each time. I absolutely love how often they post on social media so we know what the dogs are up to throughout the day!

Dingo's has been a wonderful experience for our dog Raz! Each and every staff we have ever interacted with has been extremely kind and professional. Raz is very timid and anxious, but she has slowly been getting more comfortable in going each week. The administrative staff is also excellent in answering questions around their services and billing. I honestly cannot say anything but positive things about Dingo's and we couldn't be more satisfied. Thank you!!! :)

Hound and Country is the best!! They are so accommodating and kind. Not only do they work with your schedule and make your precious animal the top priority, they are so personable and update you with the CUTEST pet photos:) Two Paws Up! My little pup is so confident and happy with his Hound and Country walks and pet sits. Everyone always worries how someone will take care of their furry friend. With Hound and Country, there is never that worry… they are so wonderful!

H&C has been my go-to dog walker for almost a year. They do a great job, and couldn’t be easier to work with. I love getting their updates and seeing that my dog is having more fun than me!

Hound & Country is such a wonderful company. Several of their awesome people have walked and taken care of my dogs and I have been totally satisfied every single time. The Hound & Country pet caretakers are always very communicative and super respectful of my home, my pets, and how I want my dogs to be treated. Plus my dogs always love the Hound & Country caretakers/walkers and get super excited when they see them. I recommend them highly!

Stephanie and Hound & Country Pet Care do a great job! We’ve been using them for about a year, 4 days a week. They are always reliable, give you constant updates, and treat your pet as their own. They are great communicators not only with you but amongst their team so that anyone who works or does things for your pet knows any of their idiosyncrasies and is prepared to do a great job. I highly recommend them. You can’t find a better pet care company to take care of your pets needs. You’ll definitely be glad you hired them.

Stephanie and team are great to work with! We have changed our routines multiple times over the several years they have been walking our dogs and they're happy to adjust with us and always love on our pups. The photos they share with us after walks are so great and we love the off leash adventures they do too!

I highly recommend Hound and Country. This is a really responsive and reliable team. Easy to work with, flexible about my constant schedule changes, and there whenever I need them, whether that’s every week or in a pinch, or on some odd day or hour. My two senior beagles are absolutely delighted when they show up.

They have a super friendly and reliable team! We are always certain that our girl Roxy is getting the best care. Their pet sitting service is the perfect solution of us👍 …

Stephanie and Maria are a dream team. They love my dog just as much as I do. Their prices are fair, they are punctual, reliable in all weather conditions, and just all-in-all good people. Their online scheduling platform and automatic billing makes everything super easy. I also love seeing my pooch having a blast on their Instagram page. Keep it up!

We can not say enough positive praise for Hound and Country Pet Care. We have used them for dog and cat care for over 8 years with 4 different dogs and 2 cats. From senior dogs who required special senior dog care to young rescue dogs, 6 months old, requiring special training. Their care and dogs walks enabled business travel and working outside the house. They are smart and well educated about pet care and we have benefited from both their care and advice. This continues to provide us with peace of mind when we are not able to be at home. We are so grateful and highly recommend them based on our experiences.

Stephanie and Co. are terrific. They are very reliable and great with our dog. It's comforting knowing your dog is being well taken care of when you can't be home for long stretches of time. I highly recommend!

Eddie and Courtney took the time to make my SUPER anxious dog feel comfortable with them. They started off with short visits so that my dog could ease into getting to know them. Now my dog loves them both for walks and overnight stays! So glad to have found a dog walking/pet sitting team who I can fully trust with my dogs!

Eddie and his wife Courtney recently cared for Sailor in our home for a week. They exceeded our expectations in every possible way! Not only did we receive daily updates and pictures, Eddie shoveled our long driveway after an unexpected March snowstorm, our mail was brought in, linens were washed and the bed made, and Sailor was calm and well behaved upon our return. It was obvious to us that Sailor received plenty of exercise, socialization, and attention while we were gone. We highly recommend Wag-N-Walk for your pet care needs.

Courtney and Eddie love the dogs they care for like their own! They take the time to get to know the dog. Also, they take them on fun adventures. Love seeing the fun things they do in the daily photos!

Our four dogs and two cats were recently taken care of by Wag N Walk for a long weekend and they did an extraordinary job! Looking forward to using them again in the future!

Eddie and Courtney treat your pets as if they are their own.

Delicious burrito and great prices and portions

Good Shepherd Pet Care was highly recommend and Kim and John definitely lived up to that recommendation . Kim is a lovely lady who picked up Jazz and returned her after a long day, happy and healthy, giving me confirmation that I can count on Good Shepherd to take good care of my "baby" a mini poodle. Many thanks! Sylvia

We left our older nervous pup Sophie with Kim and John for the week while we were on vacation and we couldn’t be happier. They were patient and loving and took impeccable care of her. We used a larger boarding facility in the past and the individualized attention our dog received at Good Shepherd allowed us to relax on vacation even more. We received text updates every day with pictures and video. Kim and John went above and beyond making sure Sophie was comfortable. A beautiful place to leave your pets. I highly recommend!!!! Thank you Good Shepherd!!!

John loves my all pets as if they are his own. My dog Joe is always excited to see John and that makes me feel good. You will be glad if you choose “Good Shepard Pet Care” as I have, try him out soon.

John is such a sweet man, with so much care for the wellbeing of your pets. So refreshing to have people like good shepherd!

Our dogs have found their new home away from home. The farm is a treat for both dogs.. and they are never bored. We receive daily pictures, messages and videos of how our dogs are spending their time. John and Kim treat both dogs like their own. On our most recent trip, one dog's ear infection returned.. and without hesitation, John and Kim took our dog to the Vet and kept us abreast of what was happening. We often take long trips out of town and its such a great feeling to know that they are safe- which of course allows us to enjoy our vacation without worries. We highly recommend their boarding and pet care services. Thank you John and Kim for going over and beyond for our dogs:)

Kim and John were warm and welcoming and our 2.5 yo 50 lb Portuguese Water Dog was quite at home. They had only one other tiny dog as well as their own affable 2 yo dog at the time our dog boarded with them in mid-June for 3 days so there was plenty of attention paid to our boy! He slept in his own bed in their house under a ceiling fan and ran outside with the others and played with John in a large grassy enclosed space (former horse corral). Kim and John were most communicative w texts and photos daily. Their place is set far back from any roads so traffic is not an issue and they are very careful not to let dogs out off leash. Our boy was fascinated by the proximity of chickens out back! They are continuing to set up their place for more pets and it may be that ultimately the dogs will sleep in a cooled/heated former garage either in crates or on their beds. This is a work in progress but one with which we were very happy. We would definitely board there again!

I'm VERY particular about who cares for my dog when I travel, and John and Kim are totally reliable, great communicators, and my dog loves them. They have a huge and safe yard for running and a sweet dog to play with, and they give my dog lots of exercise and attention. They are very professional and keep in good touch when I'm away. I've recommended them to my friends with dogs, so that says it all.

I’ve had a great experience with John. My dog, Rudy, can be a handful on walks in city neighborhoods- he has a thing against buses, bikes, scooters, etc. John was more than up for the task- he really enjoyed Rudy’s spirit which made me feel good. He was very enthusiastic and reliable. I strongly recommend him!

John and Kim are absolutely wonderful dog carers and have walked and pet sat our 3 big hyper hounds with consistent professionalism and kindness. They are reliable, trustworthy and I would look no further for people who have fondness and knowledge of dealing with multiple animals. They are able to do basically any service from pet sitting to taking our animals out on hikes as well as care for them as if they were their own and are accommodating of our schedule and needs.

I cannot say enough about Good Shepherd Pet Care. Good Shepherd Pet Care simply makes my life better. Jonh and Kim have been caring for my Monty while I work for quite some time now. They are communicative. professional, caring and super diligent about my dogs allergies ( and they are significant). They are always there for him when I can’t be! I used to stress myself so much, every day, trying to get home and walk him during the day. Not anymore. Never again! They are 100% more reliable than I could, even remotely, be. Do yourself a favor and call Good Shepherd Pet Care today. Seriously…

My dog Biscuits favorite days of the week are when she goes to Doggie Depot and she loves her weekly sleep overs at the new “doggie hotel”…She also smells great after her spa day. The staff is beyond great.

I have been sending my two pups to Doggie Depot for two years now for both Doggie Daycare and Boarding. They are excellent!! They are so good to my dogs! They get plenty of exercise, love and attention and come home happy and tired!! The new Danvers location is great addition! All of the staff members are equally attentive and great people to work with! Highly recommend !

We LOVE the Doggie Depot!! Our 1 year old Samoyed, Ruby, has been going to the Beverly Farms location since March and every visit has been 10/10. The staff is friendly, attentive, and clearly all dog lovers—they are so good to our girl! The BF facility is in a gorgeous neighborhood and the staff provides lots of water, shade, and safe activities on hot days. We always know that Ruby is safe and in good hands. We also brought Ruby to the new Danvers location for the first time yesterday and it’s AWESOME. The outdoor space is huge (plenty of space for big dogs to fully sprint around) and very secure—I can’t wait to see the inside. Everything is brand new and so clean! Joel and Marie are so accommodating—scheduling, pick up, drop off, and billing could not be easier. Ruby comes home happy & exhausted every day!

Belle, our lab/beagle mix, has been boarding and daycaring with Doggie Depot since it opened 10 years ago. Their staff are spectacular. It is not uncommon for one of vans to stop to say hello to Belle while we are walking. If they don't stop, they say hello through the window! I don't know how they do it, but there is no rough play in the play area. Belle is now 13, she is a little stiff. We've used the new Danvers facility twice since it opened for 4-5 day stays. Belle loves it. Without a doubt it is the cleanest, most pleasant dog boarding option I've ever seen. The refit took a year and has everything a dog owner should want. Again, staff is key, and I have been consistently stunned by Joel's ability to attract and retain people who love and understand dogs. I rest easy when Belle is at Doggie Depot either for the day or boarding.

Our dog, Waffles, absolutely loves Doggie Depot. Their staff is attentive and professional, and their facilities are safe, clean and well staffed.

The owners and staff of Doggie Depot are so caring and professional. My 2 dogs love going for boarding or daycare. It has been a wonderful experience.

We could not be more impressed with the amazing staff at The Doggie Depot!! We have been frequent visitors since our son rescued his dog for over a year now. The flexibility of the staff when it comes to scheduling, grooming services and everything else could not be better. And lastly the staff that spends the day with the pups outside all day are fantastic. Super friendly, know every single dog by name, patient, extremely attentive, know all their preferences and personalities, etc. Our family would highly recommend the Doggie Depot to everyone and anyone. Very reasonably priced also.

We love The Doggie Depot and so does our pup! We are so grateful for all of their team members and the love and care they pour into their work. Our doggie loves his time at day care and we know he is safe and well cared for during each boarding stay. We could not be more grateful for having the Doggie Depot! :) Thank you for being the best!!

we took our cat (ragdoll) already 4 times to Michael for grooming, he is absolutely wonderful, so sweet with our cat and always does perfect job. cannot recommend more! thank you

My dog Willow just stayed at the new boarding facility at the Doggie Depot. The new facilities are beautiful and spotless. Willow was well taken care of and we received report card updates and pics throughout her visit. She had a great time. We highly recommend the Doggie Depot! The staff is professional, attentive and most of all loving and compassionate to every dog in their care. 5 stars! Thank you!

Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Lovecrunch! Alissa and Matt are so thoughtful and professional and committed to providing the best kitty care. I’m so glad I live near AstroCats and can count on them in the future 😻 The facility is very clean and has multiple rooms which is a huge plus. …

We couldn't recommend AstroCats more! We boarded our cat here for 3 weeks in September 2023. We were a little nervous boarding her because she hasn't interacted well with other cats in the past, but Alissa and Matt were fantastic: putting her in a quieter space initially and letting her own curiosity coax her out. By the end she was cautiously socializing with other cats, something we had never managed. AstroCats itself is clean, has great vibes, and is full of very contented cats. Alissa knew that this was our first time boarding our cat and she was great at answering all our questions and easing any nerves we had. The price we paid seemed good value and the regular social media updates were much appreciated (and very entertaining). Alissa and Matt clearly love the cats they care for. If we need to board again we will 100% be using AstroCats and we'll be recommending it to all our friends.

If I could give ten stars I would!!! Alissa and Matt were incredible with my senior diabetic cat. He needs a little extra attention due to his health issues and Alissa and Matt were so caring and affectionate with him. I loved the instagram updates and Alissa was quick to respond by email and text. My boy seemed super relaxed and very well cared for when I picked him up. I'm so grateful to you both. AstroCats is a clean, quiet, and comfortable facility and all the cats in their care are very well looked after and shown lots of love. Thank you again, Alissa and Matt!

Outstanding place to board your cat! Alissa and Destiny are very passionate and make sure to provide the best care for your kitty. We always feel that our cat is in very good hands and gets a lot of attention! The place has a „personal“ atmosphere and Alissa and Destiny make sure to adapt to the needs of your cat. We can highly recommend this place.

How do I even put into words how much myself and my cat LOVE this Astrocats!! When I first moved to the area, I put my cat into a similar cat hotel in Beverly and it was a horrible experience—the woman couldn’t find my cat for 30 minutes when I came to pick him up and he lost several pounds under her care...that should tell you all you need to know about that place. I was so worried to try again, but Astrocats has gone above and beyond every. single. time!! My cat came to them still slightly underweight and nervous after his previous cat hotel experience and the staff at Astrocats sat with him at each meal to make sure he ate and felt safe and loved—he came back a totally different, confident little pudgy man <3 They love on my cat all day every day, send lots of photos and videos, make sure all of his things are sent home after each trip, buy new toys and create new activities for the cats all the time, and the place is CLEAN and even smells great! There is always friends to play with during my cat’s stay, but Astrocats doesn’t allow the number of cats in the hotel to become too much so that each cat is given so much attention and 1:1 time. Every time my cat comes home, he is so soft and well brushed, so happy and cuddly, and smells so good! Now every time my cat hears Alissa, Destiny, or Matt’s voice on video, he will spring up and run around looking for them—He LOVES them all so much! I have no doubt that every time I send my cat, Pudding, there that he will be loved and cared for with the same amount of dedication and warmth that I put into loving him myself!! <3

So happy we have this place near us! We used them for a few overnights for our cat and were very happy with how it went. The place is fun, clean and they posted lots of pictures which was great to have while we were away. They clearly are very passionate and dedicated to the care of their guests. Our cat didn’t even look at us when we came to pick him up 😂

I love the posts on Facebook for this place. Destiny and Alissa are amazing people. The place is colorful, fun and clean. Cats are well taken care of and you can trust this place with your kitties.

My daughter always comes home boasting about the extravagant adventures she has while staying at AstroCats. They take very good care of my girl every time. 10/10

Awesome place - Alissa was perfect taking care of our cat. She always sent photos when necessary or requested - super recommended

If you’re looking for a place to put your cats in while on vacation, don’t look any further. This place is the one to book! Awesome service and staff. A++

I recently moved to MA with a Vizsla puppy. The staff at Wags has been exceptional - great communication, caring, empathetic and knowledgable and friendly. I feel great about leaving my young dog in their care. I also receive training there - I love the location, the facility and I think the positive reinforcement training is professional and well delivered. They teach owners how to train and it's so much more than other places I explored. HIGHLY recommend!

We've been shopping around for a good trainer for the past several years and landed at Wags several months ago. We were impressed on day one! The positive reinforcement training is as much behavior training as it is obedience training, far more than the standard basic dog training methods of the past. Carol Watkins has amazing insight to animal behavior and a dog's ability to digest a process as opposed to trainers who teach obedience commands. Most training establishments offer education for their clients' dog's; whereas, Wags trains the owners, who train their dogs. Her application of behavior analysis step-by-step approach of owner training includes body posture, eye contact, tone of voice, how the dog perceives the owner and breaks down techniques to improve the owner's communication with their dogs. Each command is broken down in multiple physical phases before introducing the verbal and visual command, making it easier for the dogs to digest and learn each desired action. Carol also encourages the owners to ignore bad behavior by redirecting the attention to a positive action. Consequences such as scolding / punishing to modify behavior (a taboo at Wags) are replaced by positive reinforcement to achieve specific results. She taught us to use the dog's natural instincts for certain behavior, giving the dog time to process the request vs. the desire initially to achieve immediate results. This added patience encouraged us to get to know our dog's characteristics and personality, resulting in better communication to achieve our desired actions without consequences, encouraging the dog's to make the right choice, influenced by the reward of the clicker followed by a treat (or "super" treat if earned)! Carol's energy and positive attitude is infectious and made learning fun! The positive motivational training works!! I've learned more in the past few months from Carol Watkins and Sydney Bates than I have in 30 years of dog classes! Wags has a unique and amazing staff!!! They deserve more stars than the rating offers!!!!

Carol is an AMAZING trainer. I called her for an in-home consult after a move that was affecting my dogs. She takes her job very seriously and gave me a workable plan. We then enrolled in the Wags Basic Manners Class with our two girls and they improved GREATLY. We will be back for Level 2!

Wags is where the dogs always come first! If you are looking for a safe, clean facilty where the people really care this is a the place for you! This past year with positive training and day care Lisa, Joe and staff helped me with my puppy become a confident, well socialized dog that I am enjoying and can do anything with. Look no further !!!

Our dog loves WAGS. The staff is terrific and care for every dog as if they were their own. Just a great place - highly recommended!

Wags is a tremendous facility and the Staff are so accommodating! Lisa the owner helps us with our Veteran service dog training program.

Best place for our very shy golden retriever. She's come out of her shell and is a very happy and playful girl

The staff is fantastic and they care about the pups in their care.

I rarely leave reviews but wanted to say how kind and friendly all the workers are! Awesome people!

Great place

We moved away from a doggie daycare that we adored and were so sad because our dog Lyra loved it there. So we are so incredible thrilled to have found Reliable Ripley's Pet Care. Lyra adores her time spent with the walkers. Being home for the summer as a teacher I have seen this excitement first hand and my silly Lyra girl waits in the morning at the door for Max to arrive (see below). Reliable Ripley's Pet Care has also helped us out a ton with pet care during vacations. I am a very anxious cat mama who can ruin the vacation mood with my worries and getting to see photos everyday makes it so much better. Photos during Lyra's walks are also amazing and even my students love to see what my dog is up to that day.

I highly recommend Reliable Ripley’s Pet Care. I recently moved to the area and needed to find pet services for my adolescent, littermate boxer-hound mixes. Reliable Ripley’s was local to me, and Hannah was immediately responsive to my inquiry and scheduled a meet-a-greet right away. She has a wonderful way with the dogs, and I knew that I could trust her and one of her team members Dom (also Hannah’s Dad), who handles walks in my area. I originally wanted walks for my male Oscar because he has a lot of energy and is pretty easy to walk. Cleo, the female, is reactive and fearful so I intended to keep walking her myself. Happily, Dom won Cleo over in no time and has been walking her too – a huge relief for me. I also hired Reliable Ripley’s for a few days for in-my-home boarding for a recent trip to Arizona when a family member needed some days off. Dom was also amazing with the dogs for boarding and made me feel so comfortable having him stay in my home. As others have mentioned, they email me a link to a summary of how things went with photos for each visit (also at the end of each in-home boarding day). Finally, the day before I was to return home from Arizona, my family member had an emergency, and I emailed Hannah to see if it would be possible for Dom to return for the last day. He was able to do this, and both Dom and Hannah were so kind and professional throughout the whole experience. I cannot thank them enough. This post is a bit long but I wanted to share what an extraordinary experience it has been with Reliable Ripley’s Pet Care. Here’s a fun pic that Dom took of the dogs.

Hired Reliable Ripley’s when my work schedule got a bit crazy and I needed a little extra help caring for my almost 7 year old terrier mix, Boomer. My inquiry was answered almost instantly by the owner, Hannah, with pricing and schedule options! I booked services that day. Our walker is Dom and he is the absolute best with Boomer! Boomer looks so forward to going on his walks with Dom and I always get the cutest photos from him. They go above and beyond with pet journals, always making sure there’s fresh water, treats, and lots of lovings. 10/10 highly recommend, couldn’t ask for a better service for my dog.

When our sitter fell through, Hannah came to the rescue! Max stayed at our home and took great care of Hershey, posting daily updates. When we returned home, we could tell she had received the best! I highly recommend Reliable Ripley’s.

I cannot say enough good things about Ripley's! I have two rather high maintenance dogs and they took such amazing care of them. While I was away, one of my dogs had an urgent medical issue which they immediately brought to my attention, got her supplies and took her to the vet the next day. I was very worried because I was out of the country, but they made me feel so at ease because they are so caring and I knew she was in good hands. The photos and journal entries are really great too! I highly recommend them.

Hannah has walked my dog, Rudy, for many years, and he has also enjoyed sleepovers at her house! I trust Hannah with Rudy as much as I trust myself. I have been home on several occasions when she has picked Rudy up, and he runs to her - with tail wagging - as if she were his best friend...which she is! In addition to taking the best care of Rudy, Hannah has provided me peace of mind by being able to accommodate schedule changes and even an unexpected emergency boarding. As well, my white living room rug never had even a single muddy paw print as Hannah also respects my home! I am so thankful that I never have to worry when Rudy is in the capable and loving care of Hannah.

We had a wonderful experience with Reliable Ripley's! We have never had to leave our dogs for this long, and they are so used to us being home, so in home care was a must. Hannah was so professional and organized in setting everything up. Dom was the actual sitter and he was so great with the dogs. I love the journal entries including pictures. Overall such fantastic experience! We'll definitely use their services again!

Hannah walked my dog, Artoo, every day for several months before I moved away from MA in addition to boarding him in her home several times. Hannah clearly loved Artoo like her own and the feeling was mutual... He was so excited to see her! She provided excellent updates each day, was extremely reliable and is SO considerate and friendly. I trust her completely with my fur-baby and would recommend her to anyone looking for a caretaker for theirs!

We found Hannah and reliable ripleys a little over a year ago. Her and Dom have both walked our rescue pit (who can be challenging at times). They both have been so patient with her. She loves having Dom come by. Hannah is so flexible with the schedule, as we sometimes have last minute changes. Recently, our dog ended up getting sick when Dom was there and they were amazing. They called us right away and Dom even stayed with her until someone was able to get home. It’s comforting knowing they truly care for the dogs they care for!

I cannot say enough about Reliable Ripleys. I hired Hannah when I experienced an unexpected life change and needed someone to visit my little guy and take for a walk on my 12 hour shifts at the hospital. It has been over a year now, and not once have I had an issue. The attentiveness and compassion showed to not only my dog, but to my needs as well goes without saying. Hannah's Dad, Dom, has pretty much become my pups pal. He always gives him lots of love as evidenced by the journal of activity and pictures I receive after his visit. He even sits on the floor to be at eye level and close. Definitely would recommend this service if you are in need of pet services. I, myself, will have them for as long as they are in business. You won't be disappointed!!

We can't express how happy we are with Tina's TLC Pet Sitting Service! Tina clearly loves animals and is very reliable. She took excellent care of our two kitties and was very detail oriented. She was on- time and provided detailed updates. We were very anxious about trying a new pet sitter and Tina's professionalism, caring and reliability made for a stress free time away from our babies. We highly recommend her!

Tina took care of our corgi for 6 days, what we liked most about her excellent service is that every day she sent photos to update us on how our dog was doing, she is always available which is good, we will continue to choose her excellent service.

Tina took care of my puppy like he was her own. She texted me often with updates about how my puppy was doing. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.

Tina has been caring for our two dogs, Scruffy and Jordie for quite sometime. She loves them and they love her. She treats them as if they are her own. We can always count on Tina to look after our two dogs and would highly recommend her if you are in need of her services.

Like any dog owner, I am a bit of an obsessive dog mama. When my Louie is at Tinas, I feel completely at ease that he is getting just as much love as he does when he is at home! It makes it a little easier to leave my baby when my husband and are away. Tina always follows Up with daily updates on how he is doing and lots of pictures to put my mind at ease! Thank you Tina for taking such good care of my fur baby - he truly loves going to see his friend Tina!

Tina takes care of our cats with lots of love and playtime. She sends photo updates and detailed reports of her visits. Our cats love her!

Tina took care of my two cats while I went on vacation. She has cats as well and treated mine as her own. Tina sent updates with pictures every day and knew how to comfort my cats whenever they were nervous. I plan on going back to Tina for future vacations!!

Tina is AWESOME! She's not just a pet sitter, but truly loves animals. She's trustworthy, responsible, and reliable. I'm so grateful that I can go on vacation without worrying. Thank you Tina!!!

I have used Tina's pet services several times to care for my cats when I was away, She goes above and beyond, She left notes of what the cats did each day, brought toys for them to play with while she was there. She doesn't just feed and empty litter box, she actually spends time with them. She is the best.

Tina's done a wonderful job, she's taken great care of our cats (who need medication and have some other quirks around eating habits) multiple times now. Highly recommend!

A great family business. They take wonderful care of our "troubled teenager" lab/bull mix. They're always happy to see us and our dog always seems eager to go into the kennel which is a good sign that he enjoys himself while he's there. They have a good secure setup to allow the dogs to get some yard/play time and keep away from other dogs. Tons of runs so your chances that they'll have availability, even during holidays, is pretty good. They can be flexible on pick-up and drop-off times as long as you work it out in advance. Highly recommended.

My dog loves it there and the owners are great people. They treat her very well and she always gets excited when she gets to stay.
