Cat Sitters in West Medford, MA

We first contacted Matt and Jennifer when our senior dog, Sonny, was experiencing separation anxiety during the day, and subsequently disturbing our neighbors with his ongoing barking. We thought it might be good to get him out and about, and Matt was up to the task of taking him for daily walks. He adapted to walking Sonny, who was blind and deaf. He gave him lots of love and treats, and without judgement, kindly tolerated Sonny's stubbornness and mindless pacing around the driveway. He also miraculously won over our cat, Mario, who's a bit moody. He and Jennifer offered their support as Sonny aged. After about a year together, at the age of 15, Sonny was diagnosed with cancer, and Matt and Jennifer offered endless resources, sent us daily updates, and connected us to an amazing palliative care veterinarian and animal acupuncturist. At the end, when walking grew difficult for Sonny, Matt would come and visit, and still administered his pain medication. Deluxe Pet Care will not let you down, and they will forever hold a special place in our hearts.

Jennifer at Deluxe Pet Care is amazing. We have an older cat with a number of health issues, who needs several daily medications and subcutaneous fluids every other day... far beyond what we’d feel comfortable asking a friend or neighbor to handle while we’re away. Jennifer has the training and background to handle everything smoothly, and we feel our pets are in great hands with her. She spends time with our cats when she visits; it’s much more than just a quick in/out feeding. And she sends us periodic updates with photos of our cats having a great time playing with her and getting silly on catnip. Jennifer has also been great with our turtle, who has also had some additional health needs recently. She is responsible, communicative, and deeply cares about the well-being of the critters she’s caring for. I highly recommend her!

Jennifer from Deluxe Pet Care is just what her business name implies...Deluxe!! Jennifer took care of our two cats, one with diabetes, for over a year while we lived in the Boston area. The cats immediately took to her and did extremely well under her care. Our diabetic cat requires insulin injections every 12 hours and Jennifer maintained his schedule perfectly, which is no small task! Our cats are part of our family and we are extremely protective over them, but we never had to worry at all when she was taking care of them. She is very knowledgeable and is great about communicating as needed. I would highly recommend Jennifer for all of your pet sitting needs. She is smart, professional, caring, and clearly loves her job.

I have had Jennifer care for three of my dogs over the past ten years. Two have been seniors with special needs. She is so attentive & caring & honestly I credit her in part for the fact that one of my dogs is now almost 19 years old! She is professional & reliable & her communication style is so easy to deal with - I truly can not recommend her more highly - you will be so glad to have this service in your pet’s life!!

Jennifer is wonderful. She takes incredible care of my Sunny and Kisa and is like family to them. Sunny can be a bit grumpy and has to have three medications a day day. Jennifer isn't daunted and always comes with a positive attitude and so much love and care. I am a bit of a nervous cat Mom, but when Jennifer is available to visit Sunny and Kisa I can relax as I know that they are in the best hands. She is always calm, and as interested in their well being and happiness as I am. I am so lucky to have Deluxe Pet Care and Jennifer in my life! (PS Sunny is sitting right next to me while I write this review and he approves!)

Jen and Matt are so great with our dog! He's a feisty terrier but they are always up to the challenge. They're flexible and accommodating and respond thoughtfully to any questions or concerns. Highly recommended!

Matt & Jennifer are the best! They’ve been walking our dog for a few years now and always give great feedback and take extra care with him! You won’t find a better pet care professional out there!

Jennifer is super! She's been doing sub-Q fluids for my olde lady and taking my other three crazy dogs out. Very reliable and she always leaves me notes after she comes which really captures what my dogs are like. She gets it!

Our pup loves his adventures and walks!! Deluxe Pet Care is professional and caring - you can tell they love what they do! I highly recommend them for all of your dog walking and adventure needs :)

I personally wouldn't trust anyone with my animals besides Stephanie and the staff at LLP. I first became a client 5 years ago. I had a very reactive dog, who was very difficult to walk with other dogs around. Stephanie personally took on my dog, worked with her and even introduced amazing behavioral adjustments. I now have two cats whom I also have under Stephanie's care when I go out of town! I have never had anything but an amazing experience with LLP. I personally think some people forget that LLP, Is a small women owned business. This is not a corporation that is going to send you an automated message as soon as you reach out. Stephanie personally responds to everyone and truly cares about the needs of your animals. One time I even had her watch my dog over the Christmas Holiday, She personally bought a stocking filled with doggy toys for Sable (my dog). And upon my return I even had a Christmas card in the mailbox from her with pictures of all the animals she services and a personalized framed photo of my dog for me! The service you receive under LLP for your animals is truly top notch and I have NEVER received this level of care and love with any other company! Thank YOU, LLP for all you do for our fur babies!!!

We used Lucky Lucy Pets for about a month before discovering unexpected charges on our first invoice. When I raised the concern, the owner told me it was my responsibility to have asked about these charges in advance, and the day after I raised concerns the company neglected our dog. Details follow. We have worked with two dog walking companies (as well as other services requiring access to our home), and have never been charged for picking up our house key. It was not until our first invoice, a month+ into using Lucky Lucy services, that we found we'd been charged $24 for the initial meeting and key pick up AND another $24 for a meeting we were offered about 1.5 weeks later, when a new walker was assigned to our dog (we declined a walk on both visits). (Note that the new assigned walker was incredible and someone we would absolutely hire outside of Lucky Lucy). If they want to charge for this time, that would have been fine, but they did not inform us beforehand nor give us the option of incurring the charge. When I emailed the owner, Stephanie, to inquire about the charges, she took zero accountability for the lack of communication about the fees, and she was immediately rude. Among other things, she told me it was my responsibility to ask and that “We can only communicate so much and default to our clients to ask questions of things they are not aware of the answer to.” Why would a client think to ask if a company will charge money for a brief service that facilitates them to do their job? She also indicated I was wasting her time with back-and-forth emails to try to resolve the issue. The implication was that my time is not valuable, but hers is. After several emails and a lot of unnecessary attitude, she ultimately reimbursed only one of the two unexpected charges. Because she blamed me and offered no indication that she would try communicate better going forward, we could not stay with the company. I asked how much notice they require to cancel walks, and after multiple emails of more unnecessary rudeness, she finally answered that they require no notice. I then cancelled walks, in their online portal, after a two week grace period, which seemed only fair to the wonderful person who had been walking our dog. The next day, in the late afternoon, at the office, I logged into the system to see if our dog had been walked. To my surprise, the remaining walks that I had very clearly intentionally left on the schedule had been cancelled by Stephanie/the company, with no communication to let us know. This was incredibly unprofessional and amounts to animal neglect. Because we were not told his walks had been cancelled, and he was left indoors and alone in our house for 10 hours as a result. When I called (no answer) and emailed to inquire about the cancelled walks, thinking it was a mistake on their part, I, again, got no apologies. Instead, Stephanie came at me again with the client-blaming, trying to imply that I had indicated, in the previous day's exchange, that I wanted to immediately discontinue our walks. However, nowhere in our email exchange did I say that, and nowhere in her communication with me did she say they would be cancelling our walks on their end. My husband re-read the emails and confirmed this. I had hoped the response would be remorse and a promise to immediately go and relieve our dog. This is about as unprofessional as a dog walking company can get, and really worrisome that they have so little concern for the well-being of the dogs who've been under their care. I am sure she will respond to this review with deflecting of blame, as is clearly her style. The other negative reviews here all point to her character flaws, as well. Do not put your pets or your money in her trust. We know other dog walking companies in the area take customer service seriously--I encourage you to find them. Also note that my other Google reviews have all been positive to date. In this case, I feel compelled to help others avoid the awful experience we (and our dog) had.

Lucky Lucy's is amazing! When I reached out to Stephanie for an initial consultation for my cat Lucy, she responded and was able to set up an appointment fairly quickly. We agreed to work together and the cat care she and her team provided periodically when I had overnight trips was outstanding. Then, we decided to adopt a sweet puppy and realized we immediately needed some help walking our new baby while we were away. Stephanie and her team were happy to work with us and she assigned us to Greg to care for our puppy. That was almost a year ago and he has been a consistent, reliable dog walker who our puppy has come to trust and love, which means we trust and care for him too. It's not easy to have to leave a fur baby with someone else, but Greg made us feel comfortable and at ease and he feels like an extended part of our family. I highly recommend Lucky Lucy's Pet Care. Stephanie employs reliable, dedicated staff and if Greg is assigned to work with you and your pet, you are super lucky. We are moving soon and won't be able to work with him anymore and we will miss him dearly. Thank you, Greg and Stephanie, for everything!!!

We got a puppy at the end of September so it's barely been 2 months- but Lucky Lucy's Pets have been taking care of my pup 2x a day 3x a week and I couldn't be happier with their dedication to the job. You can tell Stephanie is passionate about her business, but she also employs wonderful people. We've never actually met our dog-walker, but every time I see one of my neighbors I learn that they've seen her, met her, and love her. Prices are very reasonable. Check them out.

I booked Lucky Lucy's for pet care this week, as I'm traveling out of town for work. The owner (Stephanie) confirmed care for my dog, and has now gone dark - and is not responding to my emails for drop off, etc. I'm scrambling trying to find new care on Rover.com and patching together care with the help of generous neighbors and friends before my flight tomorrow. Good times! Stephanie has been really unresponsive in general. Go elsewhere!

Stephanie, the owner of LLP, has been amazing the entire time we have worked with them! She responds to text and emails and has really helped me find dog sitter or walking coverage even at the last minute. All the dog walkers and sitters we have worked with through LLP have been great. Our dog can be a lot to handle and everyone really takes the time to make sure he is well cared for and enjoys his exercise. They also help with our scheduling and text us before they arrive and return from walks. They give updates with pictures and descriptions for each walk or each day of dog sitting. Lucky Lucy’s Pets has been an amazing service and I am so lucky that I have them as a resource!

We've been using Lucky Lucy's Pets for walking and in-home dog sitting for about a year now, and we could not be happier! Our dogs are not exactly normal and need a little special care and attention, and we had trouble with other app-based services; we really needed someone who could learn their mannerisms and predict trouble before it occurs. That's the special service you get from a small local company! Chip gives our dog a super long walk twice a week, and I have never seen the dog happier. We had lots of trouble traveling before and now we have someone who we trust to stay at our home and handle our dog responsibly. Lucky Lucy's is a small company with dedicated employees that love what they do. I regularly recommend them to others in the area!

I highly recommend using Lucky Lucy’s for your pet care needs. Stephanie and her coworkers have taken care of my two cats various times over the past year as I regularly leave town for short stints (1 week - 3 weeks). Stephanie is very easily accessible through email and responds very quickly; she confirms your trip a week or so before so that you can be sure your pets are on her schedule (especially reassuring when you have scheduled visits several months in advance); and whoever visits the pets always sends cute updates with photographs. Stephanie also goes above and beyond by sweeping or wiping up kitty messes. My cats are like my children, and being able to leave them in Lucky Lucy’s hands makes the separation much less anxiety-producing.

We have been part of the Lucky Lucy's family for nearly six years. When I say family I mean family. Our dogs are our children and the staff cares for them as if they were their own. I cannot say enough about Jessica who greets my dogs each day with hugs and kisses. I often hear from my neighbors how amazing Jessica is with our dogs, whether she's walking them or hanging out in the yard with our senior dogs, the neighbors can hear how sweet Jessica is speaking to them and how great the dogs respond to her. Lucky Lucy's owner, Stephanie, has help us grieve the passing of two of our pugs and also helped us to welcome new fosters and forever dogs into our family. When we go out of town we really enjoy the in home boarding, knowing that our dogs are in their comfort zone (our house) with their caretaker it truly puts our minds at ease. Thank you Lucky Lucy's!! We don't know what we would do without you and your team!

We had plans to go away for a weekend and I was nervous about someone caring for our dog because he is basically my baby. He also has separation anxiety so I wanted to make sure I found someone reliable who wouldn’t leave him in distress. I am so glad I found Lucky Lucy’s. He boarded in a sitter’s home (Cass) for the weekend and she took great care of him. I got plenty of updates and pictures via text so I did not have to worry. As a bonus he was super tired when we got home from playing all weekend with the other dogs! I will not hesitate to re-book if we need someone to watch our dog again.

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.

Christine has been in the pet services business for many years. She is a great care-giver to her pets and pets needs. We've been bringing our dog there for many years and her and her staff are above the normal pet care services. Their type of service is that they watch over the dogs to be sure that they are all safe and cared for during their time there. What service would pick up your dog in the morning and drop off early afternoon and the pets can stay in or go outside during that time; it's better than your dog sitting home for hours and finding not so great surprises when you arrive home. I highly recommend her services for exceptional pet care.

I have sent my dog to Happy Tails for ten years and I cannot speak highly enough of Christine and her team. I had a dog with special needs. She was dog aggressive which made boarding and play group very difficult. When other businesses were not able to take my dog, Christine bent over backward to help us make boarding work. We will send all of our dogs to Happy Tails. Christine is a lover of all animals and it is such a relief to send your dog to a home away from home, where they are treated with love and care. We are so grateful to have found such a wonderful person to care for our babies when we can’t bring them along. Thank you Christine and team.

I have been using Happy Tails for 16 years. Happy Tails has been with me from when I adopted my rescue yellow lab (who passed away) to my two new dogs. I was a single busy professional when I met Christine and now I am a wife/mom with two kids and still a busy professional. Christine and her team have been the reason why I am able to have such wonderful dogs as part of my family. I spoke with her before adopting my first dog and knew that I had the care I needed for when life got hectic. Happy Tails has always been there to take exceptional care of my dogs. I trust them fully and my dogs have always flourished in their care. One of my rescue dogs, Chase, came to me very nervous. Christine came to my house, built a relationship with Chase and made sure he got special treatment (he even got to sit in the front seat) when going to daycare. I often have to call them last minute because of changes to my schedule and they always accommodate. They also have in-home boarding with pick up and drop off from your home, which makes travel so much easier. I know my dogs are safe and happy with Happy Tails. I highly recommend Christine and her team of highly trained staff!

My Dog Serge is 16 years old. I had him for 2- 3 years before I found somewhere that would care for him as we do. Everywhere I went was awful. The smells, atmosphere and staff made me and Serge want to run. Then I found Christine and Happy Tails 👍😎💖. That was 12 years ago. I can’t describe the comfort, joy and satisfaction myself, Serge and others have experienced with the dedication and loving care our pets get there. I have referred Family friends and coworkers overwhelmingly and they have had the same experience. Earlier this year I came home to a house that had no heat or hot water, called Happy Tails and Christine came to the rescue. I was able to focus on a major heating problem in the comfort of knowing that Serge was warm and well cared for 😇. If not for Christine and her dedicated staff I could never leave Serge. Happy Tails, Christine and her staff are amazing. .

I couldn't imagine owning a dog without Happytails. For several years, they have provided playgroup, boarding, transportation, and advice for me, my old beagles, and now my puppy Irish Setter. They are quick to respond, flexible with scheduling, affordably priced, and most importantly everything they do makes me feel like my dogs are safe in their hands. My dogs are always happy when they get picked up and happy when they get dropped off, so I know the dogs enjoy Happytails too.

We've been sending our dog here for nearly 4 years now twice a week for play dates and on occasion for overnights. Christine and her crew are amazing with out little girl, she has separation anxiety and since becoming a regular with Happy Tails she has stopped being destructive and plays well with other dogs now. Highly recommend for any dog.

Our girls are regulars at Happy Tails. It's so nice to know that Christine and her staff take care of them as if they were their own when we are away. They always come home happy and tuckered out 😀 and we couldn't be more pleased with the service. …

Had our dog bordered here while away on a 6 day vacation. Returned home and our dog was dropped off. She had a very large wound that needed immediate medical attention. No note/message/communication from the business about our pet's health, behavior, or well being. Business claimed ignorance. Vet said wound was at least 2 days old. Business did pay for the vet bill. We are no longer doing business with Happy Tails.

We have trusted the owner with four of our dogs over 10 years. She is knowledgeable, trustworthy, transparent, and cares more than any other business about your babies. Always accommodating and responsive.

Christine and her staff our awesome have left our dogs overnight here and they go to daycare both my dogs Max and Minnie love it. Highly recommend great place.

🦮♥️ We can't overstate how happy we are with Muddy Paws. We have been using them for several years now when we travel, and all of the petsitters/housesitters have been wonderful and so good with our boy Fleetwood. He was a pandemic rescue from the south who went through treatments for Heartworm when he first came to live with us, and the Muddy Paws staff treated him with kindness, understanding, and love, which helped ease our minds when we had to be away from him during that period. Most recently, we just got married last week, and knowing that Fleetwood was in good hands during our destination wedding and honeymoon was invaluable. Thank you Muddy Paws! We love you and so does Fleetwood!! xo, Nancy & Rich

I have been using muddy paws since my dog was a baby, (7 years). I like how she has the same walker for a long period of time, so they actually get to know her. We have seen our dog interact with couple of the walkers, (Jenn and Devin) and she adores them. That is always a relieve to see!! They communicate with you after every visit, and often include photos, which I love. Very, professional, reliable, trustworthy, and really seem to care for your dogs well being.

For 7 years, we have absolutely loved all of our walkers and the excellent, reliable service of Muddy Paws! The walkers truly love our dog and took great care of him - we all appreciate it so much that I never canceled even when I decided to become a stay at home mom. There is an online portal that makes it easy to request or cancel a particular day or service and communicate any health updates quickly. Whenever we board, our dog was is excited to arrive, and comes home tired and happy. I highly recommend Muddy Paws!!

Everyone at Muddy Paws is great! When we first signed our dog up, Jena had herself, Cat and Jovia meet her so everyone could get to know how she is and determine which dogs to match up with her for walking. Cat and Jovia are great with our dog and very patient with her high energy! They are very flexible with setting up walks based on our schedule and quick to reply if we have updates. We also love the notes and photos at the end of the walk to let us know how she was!

we've use Muddy Paws for 6 years, and have nothing but praise for them. the walkers and sitters clearly love animals, and give excellent care. they are energetic, enthusiastic about their jobs, and provide a very enjoyable experience for our animals. our dog is happy when walkers arrive, and especially enjoys walks with other dogs. we've used sitters in our home during vacations, and all has gone smoothly. the texts from Muddy Paws are informative and often have photos. when on vacation, we were able to easily communicate by text about issues that came up, and this gave us a lot of reassurance. overall, they are just the best !!!

I have used Muddy Paws for over 10 years, and absolutely love them. Professional and reliable for taking care of my 11 year old and now also my 2 year old. They love my dog like their own while boarding and they are both always so excited to see Jena and her team to pick them up for their walks. I would 100% recommend their services (and have many times over the years).

We've been using Muddy Paws for three years, and we've never had a walker that wasn't awesome! We trust Muddy Paws walkers to treat our dogs as if they were their own. One of our dogs had special needs, and Muddy Paws went above and beyond to work with us. I can't say enough good things about Muddy Paws!

My dog, Max, has been going for group dog walks twice a week with Carla. She is great and Max LOVES her (almost more than me I think!!). She is so careful to only pair him with dogs that will accept him and play nice. He is super friendly 7 month old and can sometimes be annoying to other older dogs. She knows how to read these dogs and will not chance any sort of questionable behavior from the dogs. I can totally trust her with Max and know he will be in good hands. Jena has also been very responsive to emails and messages and is very helpful in arranging Max's walks. I highly recommend them!!

Muddy paws is a great service. Their people know what they are doing. We rely on them a lot and they always come through. Management is responsive if there is ever an issue or if you have a last-minute request they will try to accommodate you. Reasonably priced and different levels of service at different prices allows you to customize. Scheduling visits is via online calendar which is easy to use.

Muddy Paws have been taking care of my dogs for 10 years. They treat my pups as if they are their own! My dogs love the socialization they get on their walks and even though I now work from home I still send them because their pack is their family! If you’re looking for pet care you couldn’t do any better that Muddy Paws.

I decided to take my dog here for socialization. When I arrived I was greeted with such positivity. The staff was emanating happiness and instantly wanted to meet and say hello to my pup. I was given a detailed rundown of their services, and felt very confident that my dog was going to be well cared for. My instincts were right! My dog has grown immensely socially since attending. We even get the occasional update and photos of their play and day at daycare. Upon pickup, the staff always lets me know how she did. My dog literally KNOWS the days she goes, and wakes up so excited and can't wait to arrive. I highly recommend them to anyone interested in dog daycare or walking in the Arlington area. Daria and Matheus are very communicative, and I can't thank them and their staff enough for the care and attention they give to my pup and all the dogs at their facility.

My dog loves PlaynPup and all the staff there. The owner is very selective about who she hires and has a great staff-to-dog ratio. She temperament tests all the dogs before they are accepted into the daycare to ensure no behavioral problems. The company is part of StrutnPup which has been in business for 10 years and does dog walking, pet sitting, and training. Very experienced and knowledgeable!

This place is amazing I would recommend Daria and everyone that works there they all love and care about all dogs and other animals.

This place is great! Omar is very accommodating and you can tell he loves what he does! Highly recommend

Our high energy girl, Wendy, LOVES going here. Daria and her team are great with the dogs and take great care of them!

Great experience at this location. Omar was amazing. Highly recommend.

Easily the worst experience I’ve had in professional dog care

Alexis is responsive and reliable! Her love and knowledge of animals is apparent. She has a great sense of humor and is easy to get along with. She always sends pet photos and notes when she's on the job. My cat and dog love her. I don't worry about my pets when I'm out of town, because I know Alexis is providing superior care. I can't recommend her highly enough.

Alexis has been amazing in taking care of our cat when we have been away! She is attentive to the cat’s needs, responsive to our particularly concerns about our cat, communicative about how that cat seems to be doing, and informative about what transpired during her visit. In addition, she is very knowledgeable and provides sound advice, information, and recommendations. Alexis is wonderful to work with and we highly recommend her!

Alexis is fantastic with cats. She is very attuned to their personalities and eager to meet their needs. Our three cats are not very social but they have all quickly warmed to her gentle attention and her spirit of fun. Alexis is extremely reliable and attentive and we trust her completely. We have had many cat sitters over the years and Alexis is by far our favorite!

Alexis has been a great dog walker for my 65 pound Goldendoodle, Bailey! He is a good boy, but does require extra attentiveness to keep him from eating things he should not eat during walks. He really is relentless about it, so I would not trust him with just anyone. Alexis pays extra attention to prevent this, which is especially important as he is a resource guarder, so once he gets something it is very hard to get it from him and I definitely don't want him eating things that could be harmful to him. I trust Alexis to help keep him safe. She has been very helpful to me during times when I was injured and recovering from surgery and could not walk Bailey myself as well as when I was on vacation and needed someone to walk him while my friend staying with him was at work. On top of it all, Alexis shows Bailey lots of love and he gets very excited when she comes, giving lots of hugs and kisses! I highly recommend Alexis! She has been great for my very lovable, very good, but a bit difficult big boy!!

Alexis has taken care of our two cats many times. She is a fantastic pet sitter and clearly loves animals. She is responsible, loving, and the best around! I highly recommend her!!

Alexis truly cares about animals and takes wonderful care of them. She bonded beautifully with my cat and kept me posted daily with hilarious accounts of his activities. He really seemed to enjoy hanging out with her - which is saying a lot, because he isn't usually very happy about it when I have to go away. Alexis is kind, smart, responsible, reliable and very conscientious. I highly recommend her.

I highly recommend Alexis for pet care. She has taken care of my cat when I've been away on trips for 6 years now. I have been very happy with her care - as has my cat. Alexis actually takes the time to brush and pet her when she visits, not just clean the litter box and give her food. When I return my cat is calm and content - which tells me she felt cared for while I was away. Alexis also pays attention to the details, leaving things neat and tidy. She has a deep sense of compassion for animals and clearly feels a sense of responsibility to do a job thoroughly. I couldn't ask for more. It's a great comfort to know that while I'm away, my cat is in good hands.

Alexis is simply a pet owner dream came true. She is a pet whisperer. My older cats who wouldn't accept anyone till after 11th visit came to cuddle with her instantly. It was heart to heart connection. Alexis is a genuinely caring, precise and incredibly nice person. I am a crazy kitty mom, but I felt very much at ease on my vacation trip getting beautiful pictures of my cats enjoying their life under Alexis care. So happy I finally have the trusted and reliable care for my cats when I travel!

Alexis has cared for our cats and fish a few times, and every time she has been wonderful to work with. Communicative, sends updates, and we've always returned to happy kitties. I'd recommend her for anyone who needs a pet sitter or similar.

Alexis is fabulous. I always know my dog is in good hands when Alexis takes care of him. She’s reliable and keeps you updated with texts and pictures and will shower your pet with love!

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 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've had a wonderful experience with Mary, Jen, Nez, and the rest of the Happy Pet Care team - they've done a great job taking care of our dog for weekly walks. They are also very accommodating for last minute changes, and we trust them completely with both our dog and access to our house. Mary is very responsive and helpful. Definitely recommend!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Linda is reliable, communicative, and truly goes over-the-top for her clients. We had so much peace of mind when were away for holidays abroad, with plenty of pictures and text o assure us everything was going okay. Also, one time, we were locked out of our apartment building on a cold night and Linda kindly our key fob in her mailbox to bail us out haha. We moved away from the area and already miss Linda!

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 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

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!

Kassandra is a caring and reliable cat sitter. I needed to find someone new after moving, and my prior sitters didn't come to my area. Everything went smoothly with Kassandra. She fed my cat Chester and sent little videos of him. She was great with communication, and always let me know when she was visiting.

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.
