Dog Sitters in Sudbury, MA

I can't recommend Best Friends Pet Hotel in Sudbury highly enough. My dog has been going there regularly, and the transformation has been incredible. Shes become so much more confident around people and is having an absolute blast playing with the other dogs. Heidi and her staff are consistently friendly, attentive, and genuinely cares about each pet’s well-being. I’ve never encountered any issues, and it’s clear that they prioritize making every pet feel comfortable and happy. It’s a relief to know my dog is in such good hands. Thank you Heidi and your amazing crew, see you next week!

Sharra has been grooming my dogs for many years. She is incredibly good with them. They always look beautiful after their bath and cut.

We are extremely happy with the services provided by Best Friends. We have been bringing our dog, Abbey since she was puppy. We use the Doggy Day Camp, Grooming services and Boarding. Everyone at Best Friends are polite and very kind to Abbey. We use their boarding service many times during a year.

We have been going here for about a year and my doodle loves it. The staff is super caring and Zeus enjoys his time there. Heidi and Katie are wonderful and really care about the fur campers. Grooming is readily available and always with a good outcome. Highly recommend!

Our 2 dogs, Ace & Cookie love Best Friends in Sudbury! We have used them for boarding & grooming. The staff does such an amazing job taking care of our pets while we are away. Our kids love to check up on them through their petcam during the play group sessions. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

The grooming service my dog Luna received was excellent. It really helped lesson the shedding (yellow Lab)! Luna was calm and happy to return to the friendly groomers.

Best Friends is very clean, organized and friendly. Our elderly dog Peanut has boarded there since he was a puppy. He is always happy there and treated with such kindness and love. The grooming services are excellent as well!

My pup comes home from day camp happy and tired, and I feel better having a place for her to go when I can’t be at home with her during the work day. Staff are great and are always so welcoming to my dog when we arrive.

I can’t stop raving about Best Friends, Sudbury, and if my pup, Henri, could talk, he’d be saying “WOOF, WOOF!” in total agreement. Henri loves going to the Doggy Day Camp and seeing all his human and canine BFFs, and I love watching them on the cam as much as possible. Credit goes to the outstanding and caring staff of Heidi, Shayene, Katie and Jeff, who make it a pleasant environment and treat the dogs as if their own. I highly recommend Best Friends to anyone considering their services. Sylvia and Henri (Woof, Woof!)

My pups always come home tired and happy after a stay with Best Friends! They are healthy and, thanks to the on-site grooming facilities, they look much better coming home than going in! Given that I’m often exhausted after a trip, I kind of think I need to book myself a stay at Best Friends!

Wonderful service! Veronica and her sitters are caring, reliable, and always willing to go the extra mile. I highly recommend Pups and Pals, to any pet owner.

Veronica is an animal lover and it is obvious in the care she provides to her clients. A+

Mary took away all of our anxiety about leaving our three month old puppy alone. In December we got the first puppy of our lifetimes and, being retired, we stayed at home for three months doting on her. When friends came to meet Beazie, we observed that she was timid and it took her a while to become comfortable with each new person. We dreaded the inevitable time when we would both have to be away from the house and leave her in the care of someone else. Mary volunteered to come for a meet and greet prior to our first pet sitting appointment. She requested that we run through Beazie’s entire potty routine from beginning to end to accustom Beazie to her presence. Mary instinctively knew how to approach Beazie in a way that helped her become more at ease. She brought treats and a special toy which continues to be her favorite as she approaches her first birthday. After only a few minutes, Beazie was settled in her lap without fear and Mary’s love of animals was clearly on display. Her practical knowledge of animals and their behavior has been incredibly valuable as we have never raised a dog. Mary is friendly, trustworthy, flexible and dependable. We never worry a minute when we are away from the house. We don’t know what we would do without Mary. Neither does Beazie!

I can't say enough good things about Mary Littlefield who takes care of our very timid cat when we travel, which we do often. Miss Violet usually streaks upstairs when she hears a car pull into the driveway, and there she keeps watch from the top step, expecting pillage and mayhem and the demise of us all .... unless it's Mary. Then she comes downstairs quickly and purrs loudly while directing long, meaningful glances toward her sitter. She's utterly shameless in her admiration for Mary. We try to ignore Miss Violet's outlandish behaviour, but sometimes wonder if we should spend more time at home -- put a little damper on this foolish infatuation. There was a crisis three years ago when Miss Violet swallowed a long string, and we weren't due back for another week. Mary handled the situation beautifully and kept us abreast of what was going on before and after the procedure to remove it. (Thanks, Mary!) Mary has apologized for endearing herself so to Miss Vi, and we forgive her wholeheartedly. She's become indispensable to our gadabout family. I can't recommend Mary Littlefield highly enough to anyone who travels and needs to leave a shy kitty at home.

Mary has provided top quality and loving care for both my dog and cat. Her many years of experience she has in the pet care industry comes through in the care she gives. She’s always stepped in to help with any last minute situation I’ve found myself in who’s is invaluable!

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.

2 years ago we welcomed a new dog into our family. Since then It has been more work than I had planned. Due to our work schedule we needed someone to take Waggs for a walk once to twice a day and some occasional pet sitting. Through a family recommendation we hired Shivaun Pryor. She has been wonderful over the past 2 years. She is always on time for her walks and is a wonderful person and take care and has a love for Waggs!

Shivaun has taken care of our dogs and cats for over 15 years. We have never looked elsewhere because of her reliability, service, and reasonable fees. She has done daily dog walks during the weeks through the lives of two boxers and cared for dogs and cats while we have been gone on vacation or visiting family. Whenever we had emergency travel she would step up and do whatever we needed. I have never had a concern with her in our house or taking care of our pets. In addition to pet care, she has run errands for us when needed, picked up or dropped off packages, etc. She has done house cleaning for us and we have always been happy with the results. Finding someone as reliable as Shivaun has certainly made our life easier and I highly recommend her services to you.

Shivaun has been been pet sitting for my cats, multiple times a year, for over 8 years. She also waters the plants and brings in the mail. We never had any issues. She is very responsible and responsive. She even takes pictures of our cats, and send them to us, when we are on long vacations (she knows we miss them), and we really appreciate that gesture.

Shivaun is great and extremely reliable. I have two dogs, an 80 lb shephard mix and a 50 lb hound mix. She walks each separately twice a week. She always checks ahead to confirm if I want her to come on holidays.

Shivaun has been walking my Sheltie for many years. She is extremely reliable, flexible and trustworthy. I would recommend her for your dog walking needs.

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!

Acton Critter Sitters has provided excellent care for my dog and cat. The staff is reliable, personable, and they have superb written communication skills. I recommend them wholeheartedly!

First let me say we are always impressed with how professional and courteous the staff are. Acton Critter Sitters has been taken care of our cats for 1 1/2 to 2 years now and we are always at ease when we leave our cats with them. One of our cats was sick and they took great care of him making sure he took his medication. They are great about giving us a message when they visit and telling us how things are going. I recommend them to everyone i know!

Extremely happy with their service for the past year! They have always been punctual and responsive (text and portal). The online portal is very easy to use. My pup requires insulin shots and other meds and a special food prep, and is a little antisocial, but the team handled it perfectly. They always followed the instructions down to re-filling the water bowl and using her harness, and Lisa even made a few friends during boarding. Much appreciation for Clare, Jen, and the rest of the team.

I've been with Acton Critter Sitters for over 5 years now, they are terrific and I highly recommend them. Entire staff is exceptional -- caring, reliable and skilled -- especially Carrie H. My dog is so well cared for!

Always available and very responsive. My cat can get a bit neurotic when I'm away, but he is always well taken care of when I call Sally. My sitter feeds him, cleans up everything (even puke!), scoops the litter box, spends a little time playing, and leaves a report card that always makes me feel better when I return. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for reliable help.

My dogs are always so happy to see everyone from Acton Critter sitter! They wait in anticipation by the window. It's so nice to know that they are so well cared for and loved when we are not around! I highly recommend them!

Great service! Fast response time and easy booking of services online which makes my life much easier. Pricing and care is unbelievable, the sitters go above and beyond the services rendered. I highly recommend their services and the company. They really care about the animals and their well being.

The nicest, the best. Wonderful communication and details and options. Online portal is fantastic as well as the sitters. We have been using them for years.

My pet rabbit died slowly and without medical treatment of any kind under their care. They failed to even realize the animal was ill despite the fact that she was unable to walk.

Wonderful dog walking service. Great people, very responsive and kind.

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!

I highly recommend this place if you don't want your dog to be lumped together with many dogs as in Pet Smart. In Pet Nanny they took care well of my dog when I went on a trip. I left something here after the long trip and my dog was very happy to come back and greeting the house owner and eager to enter again to the house. That says it all.

Highly recommend. The very best!

It is very local

I had a hard time finding someone to take care of my cat (Luna), before my vacation. I was calling and texting people and they never answered back. Also I was very concerned about leaving Luna alone. Until i found “Better Way Pet Sitting Service”. They were amazing! From the begging to the end, they were very professional, I was very satisfied with the services provided. They took very good care of Luna and that makes me feel comfortable knowing that someone was looking after her everyday. I recommend “ Better Way Pet Sitting Service”. You will have peace of mind knowing that, good people will be looking after your beloved pets.

We used A Better Way for the first time (twice!) in August and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reputable pet sitter. We recently took in a senior cat and needed someone to look after him during a couple trips we had planned. They took amazing care of him and we came home to a very happy and healthy cat both times. Michele (the owner) and Liz are super professional and loving pet sitters, who really go above and beyond to make sure your pet gets everything they need while you’re away. They do the basics like feeding and scooping litter; but also gave him daily brushing, played with him, and gave him lots of affection. They leave a daily report saying what they did and how our cat Nick was doing every day, which are really nice to read when you get home, and always responded promptly when we texted asking how things are going. They also took amazing care of our potted outdoor plants and 4 newly planted trees, in addition to taking in our mail every day and putting the trash and recycling on the curb for trash pickup. I felt much more relaxed knowing our cat and house were in good hands while we were away. I can’t recommend them enough!

I cannot say enough about Wendi and the ladies. They are all super. I have been a client for over 15 years with all my dogs. Wendi even stayed with me when I had to put my little Murphy down. You don't see that kind of service from many places today. My pets are like their own pets.

Best pet sitting in the area! They have a meeting with you to walk through your home as a new client to determine all of your pet's needs. Billing is sent to your email (which I really appreciate it). They provide detailed notes for every day they visit with pre-maid sheets that, to me, are truly wonderful to come home to. :D Best of all is their service and compassionate care. We had a family emergency recently, and Better Way Pet Sitting jumped in and was able to look after our cats. It was truly valuable to have a service we trusted when we needed it. So grateful to have access to them now and into the future!

The most important aspect of a pet care company is reliability, which you will get 100% with ABW. I used them frequently when I had knee surgery and couldn't walk my puppy, and continued with their services for the convenience of being able to stay at work through lunch. They always come exactly when they said they will and I love how they leave me notes after each visit! My pups were well taken care of!

I have been using ABW pet sitting service for almost 10 years. Wendi and her staff of pet sitters are top notch! I trust them completely with my dog, Brady which gives me great peace of mind while I am away or out for the day. I love the notes they leave describing the fun they had and providing important information about my dog. I truly feel like they really care about and love the pets they visit. They have become like a family to us. They are ALWAYS dependable, reliable, helpful, accommodating and above all they treat our dog so well. Wendi is highly selective when hiring pet sitters so I never worry if I have someone new. They are simply THE BEST!!

ABW is outstanding! The staff accommodates all types pets with their unique personalities & needs. Wendi, Michele, & Leslie have taken care of our diabetic older cats who needed injections 2 times a day and our current "scaredy cats" who now come out to see their care takers in our absence. The piece of mind is priceless, knowing our four footed family members can be well taken care of in their own home. Thank you ABW for 14 great years of service & care!

I have been using ABW for almost 5 years for my dogs and they have been nothing short of fantastic. In the beginning of looking for someone to take my dogs out in the middle of the day while I was at work, I was not super comfortable with someone being in my house while I wasn’t home let alone with my dogs! As soon as I met with Michele I felt at ease and you can tell both she and the great pet walkers/sitters at ABW instantly fall in love with your dogs (almost) as much as you are! Now I feel a sense of comfort knowing that ABW will be at my house because my dogs love them, they’re incredibly reliable and responsive. I’d be lost without the . I tell anyone I meet that has a dog that they should reach out to ABW for their pet sitting/walking needs!

We switched to ABW from another walker and we couldn't be happier! Scheduling is easy, price is fair and the they provide excellent, professional service. We have a fairly consistent walker who absolutely loves our dog and it makes me feel good to know he is getting love when she comes. Even when we do get someone else, he is still in good hands and he's loved everyone who has come. The additional touches like brining packages in and rolling the trash cans back to their spot on trash day really make the whole package so worth it!

A Better Way Pet Sitting Services is the absolute best. Wendi and her team have been taking care of my dog, Bentley for over 10 years. Wendi and her team provide the epitome of customer service. They have gone above and beyond to accommodate changing schedules on very short notice. More importantly, they are the most nurturing, caring, and trustworthy professional dog walkers. I trust them wholeheartedly to take the very best care of Bentley. Each visit is dedicated Bentley time (& he soaks it all up). I can tell by the cute yet very informative “Bentley visit reports” that Bentley is well taken care of and had a great time on every visit. Bentley’s walkers know him so well, they can also tell if he is perhaps feeling under the weather. They keep me informed via the visit reports and/or by calling me. I have seen Bentley with his dog walkers. It is heartwarming to see the mutual love between them. Bentley gets so excited to see and spend time with them. It is comforting to know that Bentley is in great hands and care with A Better Way. Wendi and her team treat and love Bentley as part of their family. There is no better way than A Better Way for taking care of your pets/loved ones.
