Pet Sitters in Barnstable Town, MA

Training at Howl-a-Day. This is the last thing I want to do. But I feel compelled to write this review to save even just one person from spending way too much money on a subpar training experience. I was quoted a price—in person by Matt, the owner—of $1400.00 for 10 training sessions. After 6 sessions, I was told that they would not be providing any more lessons because I opted not to use e-collars. I had told Matt on day one that I wasn’t sure about using e-collars on my dogs. He assured me that he could still train without the e-collars, but that it might just take a little longer to get them there. On the day of our sixth training, his employee told me we were done, then followed me to my car to get the e-collars back. I was shocked! I reached out to Matt, upset and confused, only to be told that he would not be doing further training with us because we weren’t using e-collars. For $1400.00 my dogs learned basic puppy-class skills: sit, down, stay, heal, and come. I could have learned this for free on YouTube, or for a fraction of the cost at a puppy training class at Pet Smart! My dogs already knew sit, come, and down before I ever took a class. Matt has promised me a refund, but months have passed and no refund has been given. He has told me I was threatening him because I told him I felt obligated to write a review. He lied to me about what he told me on day one. He also had me sign paperwork that was not filled in at the bottom. He later used that paperwork against me after he filled it in to fit his narrative. I questioned his integrity which really upset him. But honestly, who would pay $1400.00 with little to no results?! My advice, and what I learned through this experience is, get everything in writing! Take pictures of everything you sign! Don’t trust blindly. And do more research. Had I asked around, I would have never gone to Matt for training. This is your sign to make a better choice for yourself, your dog, and your wallet! He doesn’t care about you or your dog. He only cares about the money!

I adopted a 2 year old dog from Aruba. They are highly intelligent and very observant. My Ellie was a challenge and I wasn't sure I did the right thing by saying yes, I'll take her. Howladay came to the rescue. They are a great group of people who know what they're doing. Once a week I went with Ellie for her Miss Manners training. Each time I pulled into the parking lot she became very excited and couldn't wait to get started with the next class. It was definitely the positive energy and we both felt it.

Our Boston Terrier, Lucy was boarded with Howl a Day for the last two weekends. She was great when we picked her up. A little tired but healthy and happy. We are happy to have Howl a Day available for day care or boarding when needed. They do a great job and take good care of pets in their care. Thank you.

Lynn and Matt are the kindest owners. I work and have four kids and really needed doggie daycare for my energetic puppy Millie. Once carefully checking her vaccines and an evaluation they determined she could join the other dogs, and she had a fantastic time. I can’t recommended this Diamond on the Cape enough to dog owners more highly. I wish there were 100 stars!

Matt and the trainers at Trainer K-9 are A+. They did an amazing job transforming our shy and skiddish dog, Willow, into a confident pup. Willow was so fearful of loud noises, people, dogs barking, and the general noises of living in the city. After 3 weeks of boarding school, she came back way more confident. Though she still gets fearful at times, we now know how to handle those instances and she is trusting us more. We’re now able to go on walks and to places we never could before! The best part is Willow is still her silly self, just smarter and less fearful. She continues to improve each day and we appreciate the follow up training sessions to keep us on target!

The team here is absolutely incredible, you can tell they run a well-oiled machine and take care of the dogs so we’ll. We boarded our 3 dogs last weekend and asked if they would be able to send us a few pictures and they were happy to oblige. Dogs came home pooped and happy. We’ll be using their services again during our next trip to Cape Cod 😄

Tried these folks recently for boarding. Place is clean, well run, etc. Rate is $100 a day for my 2 dogs to board. Dropped them Friday at 4PM, picked up 1155 AM Sunday. Received a quick lecture on making sure I am there by noon for pickup, which I was. Then told I owed another $65 on top of the $200 I already paid. Charge was for day care? Asked if they were there less than 48 hours, why the extra. Was told if I dropped at 8AM on Friday and picked up by 11AM Sunday (51 hours of their time) it would only be $200. Because I picked up after 11AM (44 hours of their time) I had to pay extra. That math doesn't add up.

Always comfortable leaving my small dog Murphy at the Holiday inn, they did not disappoint this time as well. They were there to greet him and very happy to see him, they led him away from me nicely and with his confidence in their ability to take care of him. I did not worry about his well-being while I was away for 4 days. Very happy to see him and well taken care of during his trip. I would recommend them wholeheartedly

We needed to board our dog for a week whilst we were on the Cape, and were so happy with Howladay Inn. Our dog loved it, got taken well care of and overall, had a super time.

My wife Susan and I first worked with The Trainer K-9 Services to have our lab/hound mix puppy Ernie go through intensive off-leash training. What amazing results! Night and day. The best part of it all was that Matt took the time to educate us on how best to work with Ernie to continue to reinforce what he had learned. Ernie is our first puppy, and Matt and his staff have been an invaluable resource. Now, we've begun trying to have a play day at Howl-a-Day Inn every couple of weeks or so, and Ernie comes home completely exercised out and blissfully happy. (He even knows that he's going to see his friends when we're en route!) And just recently, Ernie was neutered, and we had a convergence of work obligations, and Matt and company provided a comfy environment for a night and a day so that we could go about our obligations without worrying about Ernie. The consummate professionalism, the extraordinary depth of knowledge and experience, and the genuine care and affection that they extend to all the pups and parents is proof positive that we struck gold in finding Howl-a-Day Inn. Look nowhere else: This is the place to bring your best furry friend. If we could give more stars, we would! Many thanks to everyone at Howl-a-Day Inn!

Well managed, extremely clean and staff is well trained and friendly. My dog grew up in multiple daycare environments and when he comes home from PETiculars he is clean, doesn't smell, and isn't stressed out. You can tell he's well cared for, and has been given individual care and played with. The cost is straight forward with no hidden fees and I love that there are a clear number of staff to dog ratios that makes me feel safe dropping off my dog and know he's being watched closely and not getting lost in a mix. Every holiday it feels like there are adorable "school pictures" shared, and every time I pick my dog up I get a personalized and detailed update on how he did that day from a staff member. If something new is going on, customers are updated by management, and I feel everything is very upfront, straightforward and transparent. Highly recommended!

PETiculars is an amazing daycare for dogs. It is very clean, never overcrowded and the staff is always friendly. There is plenty of space so that dogs with different levels of energy can each do their own thing. Amber enjoys relaxing on a cot in the sunshine while other dogs are running around and having too much fun! Pictures and videos of the dogs are posted throughout the day. Boarding and nail trims are also available.

This day care center is excellent! 5 stars across the board, from the owner/operator who goes to the greatest lengths to make sure the dogs are happy, safe, clean, and taken care of from a-z. It is a meticulous, cheery place with an outstanding owner. Can't say enough great things, after many years of experience with the owner...excellent all around.

I took my pup Tobie there many times and he loved it..Last visit was in 2020... I was so glad to see that this business is still doing well..

We love Peticulars The staff is caring and pleasant The facility is accommodating and clean The feedback is always prompt and in detail Always a smile Maggie is happy there

Clean facility. Some of the best staff. Pups are treated like family. Highly recommend.

If you are planning to do dog daycare in Cape Cod during summertime- make sure you reserve a spot few months before. It is a lesson for me to learned. One of my dogs have separate anxiety. It has been stressful for me to leave him home alone. Lucky, I found Peticulars. Owner showed me around their cute daycare first. Workers are so friendly and welcoming. They are very communicative. My level of stress went down to 0%. They spoke highly of my dogs. It’s like they pay attention to my dogs. Also, one of them were able to trim my Teddy’s nails with no problem. My local daycare in my hometown couldn’t do this. Highly recommend! I will be back when I am back to Cape Cod. Thank you!

I spend a lot of time on the Cape with my daughter and grand kids. Our dog is a rescue and we take him everywhere with us. But I needed a place to leave him on days when it is too hot or cold for the car: a place I trusted, a place where he would be properly and well taken care of. I found that place at PETiculars. I called them one morning, went over within the hour to tour the place, and was able to leave my dog that same afternoon for a few hours. He loved it there. And he came home happy and tired. The staff were friendly and informative. They clearly knew dogs. I recommend PETiculars highly. Of course, I'd rather keep them a secret so I can be sure of an open spot for my pup! It is a small facility, so call ahead. These guys are so good, they will become very popular. Prices were very reasonable. One drawback, they don't do overnights right now. Thanks for taking such good care of Sebastian!

We absolutely love Peticulars! Pups (Chloe - a 14 lb. Yorkie and Chaz - a 84 lb Doodle) love coming to play! They don't look back once they go through the doors and guaranteed to be exhausted when they come home! The staff are loving and caring and owner, Linda, is the best! I trust the pups here cause they treat them like our fur babies, with love and care! Highly recommend!

I am so appreciative of the service PeTiculars provides!!! My dog goes to day care 2 days a week and is ecstatic to get there and contentedly exhausted when he comes home. I really feel like he looks forward to it and has made some friends. Lol. The staff are caring, friendly, and attentive to dogs and humans alike. The numbers are low so I don't feel like my pup is ever stressed with chaos. I love the videos they post. 💜

We are visiting the Cape as we do every summer and needed to board Stella for three days. We visited Club Canine and did the meet and greet. Everyone was very friendly and so we left Stella and went off to be “kid” free and go places that dogs can’t go. Stella doesn’t really eat when we leave her at our regular place in Virginia and they never comment on this. I only know because her food bag looks the same. Well at Club Canine they want the dog to eat and so when a called to check on her they were concerned and asked if they could give her some chicken. They also gave her a very nice bath for a little itchiness. Can’t say enough about the caring attitude!!

Changes here from old to new owner have been absolutely amazing! They truly care about your pet here. The consistent upgrades to the facility and extras truly show how much your dog is loved and cared for. ❤️

we have 3 dogs and have been going here since our oldest was a puppy. Even with the change in ownership, the quality of pet care has never changed, it's excellent every single time. We had a baby and she unexpectedly came a week early and Deb and the crew were gracious and helped us set up immediate boarding for all 3 while we were in the hospital. I don't know what we'd do without them! There can't possibly be a better place to take your dogs.

They are very attentive to my pups needs. Great package deals. We love this place!

Been bringing my pup to Kota's for years now. I drive almost an hour out of my way to bring her here. Everyone is super responsive and takes good care of her. It's such a comfort knowing she's safe and happy.

We were in town for vacation and needed to board our three miniature Schnauzers for a few days. I arranged a Meet & Greet with Molly before we arrived and she was very prompt in returning my call, and she was friendly and efficient. She reached out to our vet and had the vaccination records in less than 24 hours. The pups enjoyed their stay and we were sent pictures/video of them...we could see they were happy and well cared for. We even received a report at pick up telling us how they did :). It is very evident how much Debby, Molly and the staff care about the dogs staying at Kota's Place!

Deb is horrible. She fired me because a dogs nail broke and she blamed it on me. Wayne (the previous owner) is a sweetheart and he gave me my w2. Deb was mean to me on the phone even though I was just calling for my W2 and she mentioned my review after I told her I was just calling to get my documents. I worked there for about four months and I wouldn’t want to let my own dogs stay here. If you want your dogs taken PROPERLY cared for then get someone to dog sit in your own house.

I started bringing my 4 month old mini aussie Finn to Kota's about 3 weeks ago. I had never used a dog daycare before so, needless to say, I was a little apprehensive but honestly this place is wonderful. Finn was always a little nervous and shy but since attending daycare at Kota's he is so much more confident and relaxed. It's so obvious that he has had really positive interactions with all the staff as he can't wait to see them and he's always a little sad to keave. I would recommend Kota's without hesitation to anyone. They have been wonderful with my guy.

We took our 8 month old puppy here for a month while visiting family on the Cape and she couldn't have loved it more. The staff is excellent and took the time to explain the entire process to us. You can tell the people working here love dogs. Our dog is very shy when first meeting new people and it was so heartwarming to see her warm up to everyone at Kota's Place. We really appreciated hearing how she was doing from staff and knowing she was in good hands! Thank you!

Kota’s Place is awesome! My Golden Retriever loves it there! The staff is so friendly and attentive! Debbie goes that extra mile for you and your pup! They have room to run, kiddie pools and can go inside if it is to hot. My dog goes in wagging his tail every time!

Wonderful experience! They took great care of my dog Lucy while I was on cape for a family vacation! Lucy was racing to get in on day two which shows how great they are! I felt safe and comfortable sending my dog and the photos and fun themes were a great bonus!! Thanks Paws Dream!

Love Paws Dream and Ellie does too! They provide a safe clean environment for her to play. She's typically snoring on the ride home :) Thank you to the whole team!

They were unfathomably rude to my partner after he made a reservation to have our dog housed over the 4th of July weekend. They took the name down last week and insisted our dog get a flu vaccine. So of course days later we went to the vet and got her the vaccine. The day before our reservation we called to confirm and they said there was no such appointment, they were completely booked, and hung up. When we finally got someone to pick up the phone for an explanation they hung up on him again. Who behaves like this? Next time start with an apology, figure out the discrepancy and try to fix the problem. Really unprofessional.

Awesome care if my furbaby!!

Went to bring my dog here for day care, the whole building reeked of dog pee, and when I asked if we could see where the dogs would be they said no. Not worth leaving my dog there when there's another doggy day care down the road that's cleaner and would let me see the place where my dog would be.

Our pup loves this place and the people are awesome.

Grover loves all his friends at Paws Dream!

Excellent! The good folks at Paws Dream have taken great care of my pup for many years. She loves going there and I never worry about her when I drop her off. They are loving, professional and caring.

Friendly staff. My dogs love it here! Very helpful facility

Excellent care for your dog

best dog sitter ever. i really appreciate that i chose her. my dog Nacho was obsessed with her and every time was happy to see her. definitely trust her with my dog, and will, and recommend you all call her if you going on vacation and don’t have someone to sit with dogs , she is great for it . Appreciate you Hanna, you are the best

I am incredibly grateful for the wonderful care Hanna provided while looking after my dog. She was attentive, responsible, and clearly has a natural affinity for animals. My dog Kenny instantly felt comfortable and happy, and I received regular updates, which gave me great peace of mind. I would highly recommend Hanna to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!

Hanna is reliable, flexible, and responsive. She takes great care of our dog Enzo. We are lucky to have found her and so work with her regularly. Enzo loves his time with Hanna!

We’re so happy with the care our dog receives from Barnstable Dog Care. Our pup always comes home happy and well-exercised. The updates and photos they send give us peace of mind, knowing our dog is in great hands. We highly recommend Barnstable Dog Care for anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!

Hana is nothing short of a miracle. We are so thankful to have found her for extended days away. The dogs did great.

Thank you for sitting with my baby Lola , while i was in New York. Definitely will recommend you to my friends. Got such a great experience

Watched my puppy for me last minute on short notice and helped me out so much! Please Book! Thank you so much again!!

Thank you Evenel✌️

I have had a fantastic experience while boarding my cat here for three separate trips. It’s always hard to leave a pet behind while away but I have complete peace of mind. Lisa is such a lovely person and takes beautiful care of both her boarding cats and entire business. The space is immaculate and perfectly maintained. I received updates twice a day with careful attention to my cat’s eating and litter habits to make sure he was happy and healthy. I cannot even begin to express my gratitude to Lisa and her staff for their wonderful care. It means so much to know that my cat has such a great place to enjoy himself when I can’t be home with him 💕 If you are looking for somewhere to board your cat, I can highly and enthusiastically recommend Upper Cape Pet Services with zero hesitation

I have been with Upper Cape Pet for years and have always had nothing but amazing experiences. Most recently I have needed their service a great deal. I have been fortunate that I am able to meet my dog care specialist daily. Each and every person I have had the pleasure of meeting is kind, loving, timely, a great communicator and most importantly my dogs love when they pull up. They go over and above to ask if I, personally, need anything and make sure every little detail is taken care of before they depart. I am very fortunate to have Lisa and her crew in our lives to help out in times of need and also for the dogs pure enjoyment.!

First time customer likely turned permanent! Heather was fantastic with my doodle. We came in 10-15 minutes before his appointment so he could get accustomed to the area. Heather came right out in a couple minutes and greeted us. My dog was very excited/hyper (also anxious) - she met his energy with calm but playfulness and he warmed right up. NO grabbing by his collar to get him to settle, no yanking him or dragging him to the back. She was very receptive to his behavior and needs. I let Heather know what I’d like and she estimated 1.5 hours. He was done in a couple minutes past 1.5 hours; excellent estimation! My dog came out looking like my teddy bear. She said he did great & removed the dematting service I originally added because he was fine (I wasn’t sure if he’d need. Usually doesn’t but in case so they have the time.) The salon is open and quite clean; not overcrowded with numerous dogs at once. They have a sort of gated area like mini stalls for pups - I did not see any kennels/cages. It was $90 (without tip) for his mini groom, which was exactly what he needed. I live about 45 minutes away but am definitely coming back to see Heather!! I ended up booking his next 2 grooms before I left. Thank you for a great experience.

Upper Cape did a great job on my Chow Chow, one of the most difficult breeds. My Buddy is a senior. They were most careful about his aging issues - warts and hip problems. I was very pleased, I’ve already booked his next appointment. I also felt the pricing was quite reasonable and good smelling cologne! I would highly recommend. And look who went back to Upper Cape Pet Services and even handsomer than ever!

I brought my beagle mix in for a bath and nail clipping. I dropped my dog off at the 12:00 appointment time. I returned an hour and a half later and they hadn’t started and would text me when done. I said okay, no problem. 35 minutes later I received a text that she was finished. I arrived to pick up my dog and Crystal handed me the dog’s leash now in 3 separate pieces. She said “Your leash broke,” and handed it back to me. It’s a thick cloth leash that was in perfect condition. Apparently she was crated for the hour and a half they were running behind. No one mentioned a crate as I would have told them she is extremely crate phobic. She suffered for an hour and a half having a panic attack and chewing through the heavy leash. I keep reading about how deeply my dog’s well being is your first priority. Unfortunately that was not my dog’s experience. Crystal didn’t apologize for the 90 minute delay, or the crate, or the leash. Our dog did smell good at least. I’m hoping my review will be taken as a learning experience for the future. Perhaps let the client know if you’re running late and take some responsibility for excessive crate time and destroyed leash. It would have made all the difference and I would even have brought my pup back for another try.

I highly recommend Upper Cape Pet Sitting! Lisa and her team are so wonderful I feel like they love my dog as much as I do! It has taken me about 1.5 years to find a good pet sitter on cape cod and I am so glad I found them! They send a report after every visit with details and lots of pictures. When they are watching my dog I know I can totally relax. I also recently starting using their grooming services and they are superb. I have received soooo many compliments on the way he looked after. I have not had much luck with groomers in the past and I am thrilled to have one that makes my dog look just the way I want him to! I can’t say enough good things about this business. Even the app they use to schedule/pay/communicate is very user friendly. :)

Amazing amazing amazing! I have a 100lb dog with so much hair and these ladies always do such an amazing job with her. Macie had some anxiety after getting spayed and UCPS took such great care of her, she’s totally comfortable now! I have seen Vanessa, Amirah and Crystal and they are all so talented. I highly recommend to anyone especially if they have a large breed.

we absolutely love Vanessa. She is incredible with the dogs and the dogs. Love her.❤️

Great place! Took my cat here for a grooming - he’s pretty feisty and refuses to get brushed. Booking was super easy, convenient text follow ups. They did a great job making my cat comfortable and he looks fabulous now! Clean, newly remodeled space, very friendly and caring staff. Their cat hotel looks luxurious. Thank you!!!

We have used UCPS several times and couldn't be happier with them. We have 3 dogs and 2 cats, some of whom need medication. Care has been flawless. And the reports and pictures are very reassuring. Highly recommend!!

I don't understand the one low rating in a previous comment. I trust Nancy absolutely with my two dogs. She is dedicated to animals and loves our dogs as her own. We have taken extended vacations over the past 4 years and Nancy has been reliable in coming to our home then feeding, walking and playing with our dogs multiple times during the day or evening on whatever schedule we set. While away, Nancy keeps us updated through reassuring, daily pictures and comments sent through Messenger texts. She has visited our home while we there and our dogs respond very positively to her. The Waggin Wheels website clearly states that they come to your home to provide services and does not mention any overnight kenneling. It was made clear to us that the services were provided in our home. So I do not understand the bait and switch comment.

I have been using Nancy Talley for several years and can not say enough Positive things about her. She is the kindest, most responsible, and reliable pet sitter you could ever ask for. Nancy went out of her way to make sure they were taken care of during a recent snowstorm when we were away. She is the best!

Nancy is the best. She truly loves your pet as if it were her own. She is very reliable and trustworthy. I have been using Waggin Wheels for several years and have referred many clients to her.

Nancy is absolutely wonderful with dogs and other animals!!WE have used her for years and she is part of the family by now!!! We trust her with everything-so loyal, thoughtful, honest, reliable and LOVING!!! What a find!!!

Our elderly dog Tucker, ❤️️his Aunt Nancy!! We do too!! Sweet trust worthy, and dependable. We never worried about Tuckers care when leaving Nancy and family in charge,

Nancy has been wonderful to our animals. She is kind and reliable and makes sure they are well cared for. We were away during an ice storm and she still made sure she was there for them. We are fortunate to have found Nancy!

Waggin Wheels pet sitting is fantastic. I have been using them for years and my dog Bandit loves Nancy Talley. She is very good with him and takes very good care of him. She is very dependable and trustworthy . I trust her with my home and my dog.

Nancy is outstanding always there when I need her. I have had her stay at my home twice when I was traveling. My dog Rags absouletly loves her. She is dependable and kind. Can't say enough about her!

Nancy is the best

Marykate was such a doll, she was so professional and answered all my questions to make sure I was comfortable! My dog was happy and my house clean.. definitely would use them again and recommend them to anyone with fur babies...

Inquired about pet sitting. She was very responsive to my inquiry and offers a great service. I haven't used their services yet. They do an in home visit first, so that all parties are comfortable with one another.

Dawn is beyond amazing! Our fur babies ( 2 dogs and 2 cats) loved her immediately. She took such good care of all of them in our home while my husband and I were away. She constantly kept us updated and sent pictures. We felt so at ease with Dawn. She really got to know all of them before she sat for us and treates them as of they were her own. Thank you again Dawn for being so wonderful to our kids❤️

Dawn, from Shore Pet Care, did an absolutely wonderful job with our pets! They love her and it was so comforting to get daily pictures and updates. There's no question our animals are better off staying at home with a loving and responsible sitter than going to a kennel. Dawn also took great care of our house. We couldn't be happier with her services.

Dawn and her dog sitting services are the best! She takes incredibly good care of my 2 Boston Terriers, Rosie & Jackie. I have complete confidence in her ability to handle all situations while I’m away. She is able to help out when I have last minute changes in my plans either staying longer with my dogs or returning later to check in on them. Most importantly she has a true love of dogs and it shows!

My dog Peach has really bad separation anxiety, which makes it difficult to find a good petsitter! Dawn is the only one, other than my parents, that I can trust my pup with; She will do whatever Peach needs to feel comfortable which sometimes includes lots of talking to know she is not alone, sitting on the floor with her and lots of snuggles!

Dawn took care of our two very active dogs for a week in our home when we were on vacation. She and her team did a wonderful job. I think the house may have been cleaner than when we left, and the pups were perfectly happy and safe! I highly recommend her.

She was great with my cats while I was away. I recommend her to others who are looking for pet sitters

Since day Miranda has been fantastic with my mini yorki! Coco loves his hikes and walks and has made many friends! Miranda always sends me pictures and reports on coco making me feel comfortable while coco is out having fun!

Miranda gives the best care and attention to our pup Finn. He is always so excited to see her. Whether we are traveling for a week or more or just an afternoon, we know Finn is getting the best care possible. Miranda communicates well and is extremely professional in running her business. Miranda is a true gem here on Cape Cod for all pet sitting needs.

Our dogs love spending time with Miranda. She has watched them for us for weekend trips and long vacations over the past year. I know the dogs have as much fun as we do when we travel. They get to hang with Miranda and make doggie friends. They enjoy the nice long walks. Last time we dropped off our big guy, Koda, he was so excited he went running to jump into Miranda’s truck!! Our little dog is usually shy and timid, but with Miranda she is more confident and comfortable. We really appreciate how unique it is to find a person who seems to just have a way with dogs. They enjoy and respect Miranda. We never worry when our dogs are in her care. We are very grateful to have found someone as professional and reliable as Miranda. Thank you for providing exceptional care for our pups!!

We have using Miranda dog walking services for 2 years now and can not say enough good things about her and the way she handles our dog. He is a German Wiredhair pointer with boundless energy and always comes home after a full day with her tired and happy. The way she can handle a pack of dogs on a trail is exceptional , of all sizes and breeds, they all follow her lead. We just LOVE her❤️

We would be absolutely lost without Miranda and have been using her for over 2 years. Our 5 year old rescue husky, Mina, comes with sensitivities and is a flight risk. She also has “stranger danger” but loves Miranda and Glacier (Michael too). We live full time in Brookline but do not hesitate to drive to the Cape to drop Mina for boarding knowing it will be a smooth and worry free process. Mina also loves going to day camp and comes home happy and exhausted. Self admittedly, I am an uptight “dog-mom” and I trust Miranda wholeheartedly. Highly recommend.

We've been using Miranda's Pet Sitting services for almost 10 years now and she is simply the best. She gives our dogs a tremendous amount of exercise and returns them happy and tired at the end of the day. We also really appreciate how she takes the time to get to know and understand each dog's personality and even helped us with some of training issues we were struggling with early on. Lastly, we really appreciate how reliable and organized Miranda is. When she says she'll be there, it's a guarantee she'll be there. It's a huge comfort knowing Lily and Ocho, whom we adore, are in such capable and caring hands when we're not around.

Miranda is a fantastic person who loves all animals. She will treat your pet as her own. She is caring, thoughtful and reliable. I highly recommend.

We had an excellent experience with Miranda's Pet Sitting when we visited Brewster MA for a week in August. Our 2-yr-old beagle mix had the time of her life with regular exercise and the company of other dogs. We were able to relax knowing that Miranda emphasizes safety and is amazingly knowledgeable and caring. Lucy even made some progress with walking more peacefully on a loose leash. We will definitely visit again and recommend to friends. Thanks Miranda!

Fabulous pet sitter! Our dog took to her right away! Flexible with pick-up/drop-off; delivered our Gracie to our door. Sent us a picture of a very happy doggy mid-day. Gracie arrived back tired out from walking and romping, and in a great mood. Highly recommended.

We were lucky enough to connect with Miranda for the past two summers. Our dog, Doc is the absolute happiest to meet up with her! And, after spending the day with her hiking and getting incredible exercise and attention, he gets home and flops on the rug. His boundless energy and need for exercise is truly met during his days with Miranda. Doc’s time with Miranda is really some of his most wonderful. I can’t recommend Miranda, her love of dogs or her services enough!

My Sophie has been going since she was a puppy. She is now 12 years old and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my dog! Christine’s Pet Care is the best.
