We feel like we’ve won the pet and house sitter lotto with Scott. Most importantly, he’s taken great care of our much loved little dog, giving him a lot of care, affection and attention. He paid close attention when Tingsha began scratching (allergy to an insect bite) which needed vet care, with great communication with us. He even took Tingsha to his agility school class each week (great fun had by all) and to get a groom. We’ve come home to a contented and very happy dog. The house is spotless, cleaner than we left it, with fresh flowers and the bed all made up. Perfect! We had regular contact with Scott all through our five week trip and being “fellow travellers” (in all senses) enjoyed sharing lots of local travel tips and experiences as we each visited new parts of the world. We were happy to lend Scott our car and he’s been great with it, super responsible. Scott is a really terrific guy and a fabulous journalist and story teller (you must listen to his podcast about his travels, it’s a cracker). In sharing our home and trusting our beloved dog with him, we feel like we’ve made a new friend along the way. We recommend Scott without any hesitation and thank him for a wonderful experience, we’d love him to come back and see us, anytime. Thanks a bunch!
Angela did a great job caring for Willie for 10 days while we were out of town. She was easy to communicate with and kept us informed about Willie, along with sending photos of him out on walks and at the beach. Angela was very accomodating when we needed to come home a day early - Thank you! The house was left in good shape and it's clear that Angela is organized and reliable and clearly loves her pet charges. I'd recommend Angela and will definitely include her as one of our top sitter choices in the future! Thanks again, Angela!
What a lovely couple Tara and Tyler are. They had been in Scottsdale about six weeks before the house sit. and can to meet us. Rusé, our Toy Fox Terrier, fell in love with them immediately, and was in Tara’s arms within two minutes. We always like our sitters to arrive the day before we leave, take them out to dinner and get to know them. It was quite apparent from the videos and photos we received, that Rusé did not miss us. Tara and Tyler’s three grown up children joined them before Xmas-to Rusé’s delight as these were additional hands to throw his rubber bones and balls. The house was all clean and tidy, when we returned.. There is a strong possibility that Tara and Tyler will move to Arizona from Montana, with two of their children, recently moved to the area. They have already offered to look after Rusé in the future. We know he would love it. We cannot recommend Tyler and Tara higher enough, they were perfect House and Pet sitters
Great pet care. The house was clean and tidy. The sitters had great communication. Would recommend again!
Linda was an awesome pet sitter for my doggie Brodie! She gave him so much loving attention… he has some separation anxiety at 9 years old & she never left his side! She was so attentive to him & I am very grateful for that! Linda’s communication was also something I liked… we texted & chatted on the phone before her arrival & I felt very comfortable with her being in my home & with my dog. I could tell her number one reason to pet sit was her love for dogs & desire to be a wonderful companion for Brodie while I was away for the weekend! Would love to have her back anytime…
Kate was an excellent house sitter and pet sitter. She was thoughtful, sensitive, and attuned to our cats and the particulars of our house. It was really easy to communicate with her and she was responsible and conscientious about everything. When we came back our cats seemed unfazed by our return which was a great sign and it was obvious that she spent lots of time with them and gave them lots of love. The house was spotless on our return and she even alerted us to a health matter in one of our cats. She sent lots of cute updates and was easy going when we messed up a logistical detail on our end. Just a delightful person all around. I'd love to have her come again and if you have a chance to have her housesit, jump on it. She is a gem.
Andrea was the perfect sitter for our older Italian Greyhound and our shy cat. She followed every request to a “t”, and helped us to feel comfortable and care free for a long zeewoi. The communication of photos and videos were a warm reminder of how well they had been adjusting to our absence. Andrea showed care and consistent compassion for Darcy and Hammy. She seemed to enjoy them and our home as much as us! We returned to an absolutely spotless home, without anything left undone. She thought of everything related to us and our pets, so we could have a seamless late evening return. We highly recommend Andrea for any zeewoi, as she is a jewel. Anyone looking for a “perfect” sitter would be lucky to have Andrea as a trustworthy, considerate and kind person to care for their pets and home.
Exceptional Pet Sitters - Highly Recommend Diedre and Keith! I am thrilled to leave a glowing review for our trusted house and pet sitters, Diedre and Keith. They took exceptional care of our long-haired cat, Molly, and our home during our absence. Everything went incredibly smoothly, and their communication was top-notch. Dierdre and Keith provided regular updates, including delightful pictures of Molly, which put our minds at ease while we were away. Upon our return, it was evident that Molly had been well cared for and was content. The genuine love and understanding Diedre and Keith have for both dogs and cats was apparent in their interactions with Molly, and it was clear that they had made her feel comfortable and secure in their care. Their friendly and professional demeanor made the entire experience truly enjoyable. In addition to taking great care of our beloved pet, Diedre and Keith ensured that our home was in excellent condition upon our return. They even went the extra mile by informing us about the leftovers they left in the fridge, which was a thoughtful gesture. I wholeheartedly recommend Diedre and Keith as exceptional pet and house sitters. Their attentive and caring approach, coupled with their expertise, make them a perfect choice for anyone seeking reliable and trustworthy sitters. Don't hesitate to entrust your home and pets to this fantastic duo!
I could not have asked for a better first time sitter experience! Terry & Vinnie were absolutely wonderful people. They took stellar care of my beloved pets and my home. Their communication with me was enough that I felt perfectly at ease during my time away and in turn, they were super responsive if I contacted them. My pets were relaxed and happy when I returned!
Neil and Anne have just sat for us for a second time, for a week. They are outstanding sitters in every way. Always punctual with communication and arrival. They both have responsible jobs and this is evident as they are both very organised. They care very much about the animals they look after. We were regularly sent updates, pictures and video clips of them, which is great to see when you are away. When we came home we were greeted by happy pets and an immaculately tidy house. We cannot recommend Neil and Anne enough. As far as we are concerned they are perfect housesitters! …...Hopefully they will come back and sit again soon!

The Dogs R Us team is amazing - they have been walking our puppy for several months and it has been such a great experience! We and our puppy love them, they’ve helped him learn to walk better, and give great updates on how the walk went. Highly recommend and very thankful to have them as our dog walkers!
Great service! We recently moved to Boston and were looking for a playgroup for our 10-lb Cavapoo. Brad didn't really have the service that fit our needs - I wanted a 2 hour playgroup where our dog could socialize and make new friends, but he kept us in mind when he hired more walkers and now our dog is out twice a week and coming home super happy. She loves Paul her new walker and looks forward to her playgroup! Thanks Brad!! Definitely recommend.
Dogs R Us is truly the best. My 3 year-old lab mix has been going to playgroup and it’s great. Brad and his team are caring, flexible, reliable and my dog has a blast. She’s gone from roughly 11-1 each day which is perfect for people working 9-5! Would recommend (and have already) to anyone!
We love DogsRUs and give them our highest recommendation. We regularly sign up for walks and have been so grateful to have our black lab puppy in their care. We find them responsible, accommodating and most important really focused on the well-being of our dog Maisie. Having Brad and Jessie involved gives me tremendous peace of mind - I know that Maisie is happy and safe.
Oh, Penny just loves her dog walkers, and we do too! From our first meeting with Brad, where our normally aloof Rhodesian Ridgeback typically gives the cold shoulder to stranger humans, Penny recognized the care and affection in Brad and "investigated" him almost immediately. Brad was very clear about the process of getting Penny set up for walks, accommodated our schedule well and made suggestions, and best of all, Penny got a holiday weekend with Brad when we were unable to take her along on ours! Brad and Jesse are always on time, completely reliable and trustworthy and COMMUNICATE very well, which is so important. Also, Penny is a big dog and needs to do some time off leash, and Brad and Jesse were able to work with us on a good plan for her to be able to do that as well as to have some playtime with other dog buddies periodically, which is so important, especially for a large breed who likes to play...with giant, strong paws...
This South End sammy would give 10 stars if he could. Brad and the team at Dogs R Us have been absolutely wonderful from the very start. I moved to the South End with Telly, my 11 year old Samoyed, several months ago and knew I needed to begin my search for a dog walker/sitter in the city. I came across Dogs R Us online and could not believe the reviews I was reading. Needless to say, they certainly live up to those great reviews and more. Brad, the owner, is not only professional but very responsive and reliable when planning walks or overnight stays. Vanessa, Telly’s walker, is one of the most compassionate dog lovers I have ever met. Sometimes, I think Telly is happier to see Vanessa walk in the door than me. I highly recommend Dogs R Us to my fellow neighbors for both walking and boarding as your fur baby will be in good hands.
The owner and team at Dogs R Us are the best! We have a Vizsla puppy that we have been sending to play group a few days a week with Dogs R Us since he was 4 months old. Brad and our walker, Robert, are extremely reliable and always able to accommodate late-notice requests or cancellations. They use an online app for scheduling and invoicing that is extremely convenient. Great experience with the team and would recommend to anyone looking for dog walking or dog watching services!
I can't recommend Dogs R Us enough. I had both of my dogs stay at Dogs R Us. They were comfortable from the minute they got there. I received pictures and updates every day. They even took my little guy to the Apple Store in Derby. I had to stay an extra night out of town and it was no problem. I will definitely call Brad and Jess to take care of my dogs. They are accommodating, caring and kind.
DogsRUs is wonderful! The owner, Brad, is super down to earth and has a ton of experience. They have really taken the time to get to know our little vizsla puppy which makes us comfortable leaving her in their care during the day! We also really like the dog walking application they used called "Better Walker," which makes scheduling walks really easy. Brad is also very responsive to text message if we ever have a last minute walk request or cancelation! Highly HIGHLY recommend DogsRUs!!
They are a very professional dog walking service. Brad and the team are very quick to respond to scheduling requests and always take great care of my lab. She is always tired when she comes home from the 2 hour session with other dogs. Highly recommend!
Incredible experience with the team at Boston Dog Butlers! They always take such good care of our corgi Marty. Their app makes it incredibly easy to book services and they always send great reports with lots of photos. They also offer such a great selection of different services ranging from hiking trips, to boarding, standard walks, and playing at the park. We are so lucky to have such a full service dog business as professional and easy to work with as them!
We’ve had an amazing experience working with James at Boston Dog Butlers! We have a one and an half year old English cocker spaniel and started with James when she was about 6 months old. From the board and train programs to family sessions and hikes, every step has been thoughtfully tailored to her needs. James’ expertise and care have brought out the best in her. We’ve seen stellar results in her behavior, obedience, and overall happiness. We couldn’t recommend Boston Dog Butlers more!
We have been bringing our dog to Boston Dog Butlers since he was a tiny puppy. Melissa does a great job with him every single time. Melissa and the team are always so excited to see him, and it makes me feel good about leaving him in their care for a few hours at a time! We’ve been extremely satisfied with every haircut he’s been given, and Melissa will text me throughout the appointment with any questions or concerns so I’m totally in the loop. Attaching some pics of our pup right after his haircuts!
If you are considering using Boston Dog Butlers - do it! They are incredibly professional, responsive, and reliable. Most importantly, they truly love the doggos and it shows. I moved across the country with my dog in February and went from having a backyard to no yard. I was very nervous about how Evie would adjust but thanks to BDB she did great and loves her new life in Boston. They’ve also worked with her on improving her recall and decreasing reactivity while on leash. They provide truly best-in-class service that allows us to relax and feel comfortable while at work knowing our precious little pup is in safe and competent hands. Thanks BDB 😊🐾
Run, don't walk, to Boston Dog Butlers!! Looking for an amazing experience for your pup? Run, don't walk, to Boston Dog Butlers!! A fellow dog mom recommended Melissa & Jamie at Boston Dog Butlers Pet Spa on Tremont over conversation at the dog park and, 18 months later, we cannot imagine taking our little guy anywhere else! Our mini Labradoodle is quite sensitive, tends to be shy and significantly dislikes being groomed or brushed in most areas... even by us. He unfortunately had a couple of negative grooming experiences prior to finding BDB which contributed to his fears. As a breed with hair that requires a good amount of maintenance, this has presented quite a challenge. Melissa and Jamie at Boston Dog Butlers Pet Spa have been absolutely incredible -- amazingly patient, kind and caring in each interaction (with both canines and humans alike!). They have worked hard to build trust and rapport with our pup, meeting him where he is and slowly growing his confidence. Their approach is consultative, professional and always prioritizes the dog and their experience, informed by the team's in-depth knowledge and training. They take breaks for play, treats and always make sure he leaves on a high note! We love that we can be confident that they will do a great job aesthetically, while most importantly respecting and supporting his needs and comfort on psychological and emotional levels. He now pulls us toward the shop whenever we're in the area -- always a telling sign! 🐶 We cannot recommend Melissa, Jamie and their team highly enough!! Pro tip: Be sure to book ahead as the BDB team is in high demand. 🐾
I cannot recommend Boston Dog Butlers enough! I took my dog to BDB for his first grooming experience when he was a puppy and we've been going there ever since. My dog is an anxious rescue, but Jamie, Melissa, and the whole BDB team make him feel safe and comfortable. I always know he's in good hands when I take him in for his full service bath. The staff are also incredibly friendly and accommodating, and simply some of the kindest people I've had the pleasure of meeting. They are communicative, professional, and truly care about the wellbeing of the dogs. I moved to the suburbs over a year ago and still bring my dog to BDB because nowhere else compares!
We have been bringing our dog Rosie to Boston Dog Butlers since she was a puppy for puppy grooming. We love how attentive, accommodating and patient they are with Rosie. Rosie gets really nervous around new people/dogs, and hates being groomed. Rosie was having a fit and refused to get her face trimmed. Cassidy was very patient and kind with Rosie, but decided to continue the following day since she didn't want to make it a negative experience for Rosie by pushing it too much. Here is a pic of Rosie after face trim the following morning.
Boston Dog Butlers is a great to work with! My 16 month old golden retriever has visited Dog Butlers for grooming for a few months now and always looks fantastic when he returns home. The team is skillful, friendly and knowledgeable and always pleasant to schedule/speak with. My pup sees Cassidy who truly loves him and is so gentle and truly goes above and beyond. Highly recommend their services and team!
Boston Dog Butlers to the rescue! I have a 6 year old shih tzu mix who was formerly abused, and grooming is REALLY not her favorite. We've only ever found two grooming salons that could handle her shenanigans, Boston Dog Butlers being one of them! The entire team at Dog Butlers has always taken such special care of both my pup and me (worried mom) - they make sure our appointments are at a time when they won't be too busy so my pup is less stressed, and they always give me updates even before she's finished. They are so gentle with her and to my absolute shock, the first time I picked her up post-groom, she didn't want to leave! I am blown away by their service and no longer dread grooming appointments. Thank you BDB team!
I never write reviews for anything, but I must say I’m so glad I found BDB that I feel compelled. I’m a first time dog owner of a WFT - high grooming needs and strong personality. I started taking him to Melissa for basic grooming like baths, nails, small trims, since he was a tiny puppy and she’s been great with him. Last week I took him in for a full hand strip and she did an amazing job despite it being a very labour intensive and skilful task (the first two strips were done by a WFT breeder, but Melissa honestly did just a great a job!). On top of that my puppy loves going there and is always happy to return! I also use BDB for my puppy’s walks with Ciara - who has been absolutely amazing with him and he loves her like a family member! Overall very impressed with the professionalism, honesty and responsiveness of BDB.
Couldn’t have asked for a better trainer for my 7mo old puppy Charley! Joel went above and beyond expectations with his dog training. Charley learned sit, down, wait, recall and leash training all within 4-6 weeks. Joel still checks in with Charley and I after completing his training. He was a great communicator and educator throughout the process and continues to educate post training. I highly recommend I Walk Pets for their dog training regime and the owner is the nicest, most passionate and caring trainer i’ve ever had the pleasure to work with.
Our dog Wilbur had a great stay over Thanksgiving! He was very excited to see Joel when he was picked up. That says a lot! I’m grateful to have someone like Joel to help us with our needs.
I Walk Pet's LLC provides excellent dog walking services. From being punctual to being so wonderful with our dog I couldn't have found a better match. Our dog is a bit difficult but they have been wonderful. Joel is really experienced and wonderful with him. Highly recommend their services!
We had a great experience with Joel and I Walk Pets, who boarded our beagle over the weekend at their home. Excellent care and dog walking. Our beagle was very happy and well cared for and had a doggy companion too. This business is very professional and trustworthy.
I Walk Pet’s is professional and caring. They’ve been walking my Yorkie for almost a year, and she is excited every time Joelle comes over!
Joel is an answer to prayers. He is great to my dogs and has a special bond with them. He is professional and incredible at what he does. Totally recommend, but hopefully will be able to fit us in when back in Boston.
Best dog walking service in town! We have the best experience, from communication to kindness, Joel is the best! Our dog adores him
Bebe and Dan are amazing! I needed someone to watch my puppy for a last minute day trip, and they were very responsive, accommodating and reasonably priced. I received photos of Olive throughout the day and felt confident she was in great hands. You can tell they truly love and care about animals. I also really appreciate the day care/overnight stays are in a home environment vs. a kennel. I was able to enjoy my trip without worrying about Olive, was confident she was in great care. Highly recommend!!
Ms B's Pet Care is awesome! I live in the Seaport area and Bebe is so good with my two pups. She has taken care of our furbabies on multiple occasions and the pups were just so happy to stay with her. Bebe is very responsive, caring and provides regular (and super cute) updates / pictures whenever I leave my pups with her. It is so hard to find someone who will take care of the dogs and treat them like their own - we are lucky we have Bebe in the neighborhood. Highly recommend her.
I highly recommend Ms. B’s Pet Care! She has been taking care of our 2 year old French Bulldog, Sophia, for the last few months and we have been extremely pleased with her services. She provides regular text updates and pictures with each walk, ensuring that Sophia has the best care. In addition to our regular solo walks, Ms. B also boarded my dog for the day when I was preparing for a move, which was incredibly helpful. She updated me several times throughout the day with pictures and videos, which helped me rest assure that Sophia was in excellent hands. Highly recommend Ms. B's Pet Care for your pet needs!!
Bebe was amazing with our dog Watson, who is quite the picky pup! Bebe handled him very well & we received photos throughout his stay. Added bonus - he got along great with her sweet dog and played his little heart out. Truly fantastic experience, any time we are in Boston we will absolutely have Bebe as our go-to dog sitter!!!
Ms. Bebe is the best dog walker! My dog Luna looks forward to her walks and whenever she sees her, her tail is wagging and a smile is on her face. It is great to have someone I trust to leave my fur baby with! She always sends pics of Luna after their walks and updates me on how she did. Highly recommend!
I highly recommend Ms. B’s Pet Care! Ms. B has been walking and taking care of my australian shepherd puppy since she was 11 weeks old and I am very pleased with her services. I contacted Ms. B weeks before I adopted my puppy and she was extremely responsive to my questions and went above and beyond to be helpful by providing suggestions for veterinarians in the neighborhood and a fantastic dog trainer, not to mention advice in general about raising the puppy, which proved to be some of the best advice I received! She also works on my dog’s training when she takes her on walks and even taught her “leave it” (which I really appreciated). Ms. B is very professional and always sends me detailed updates about her walks with my dog. She also sends me beautiful pictures. I never worry about my dog when she is with Ms. B because I know she is in the best hands. When my dog and I run into Ms. B around the neighborhood, my dog gets so excited and wiggles all the way over to her to say hi! If you are looking for a top notch dog walker or pet sitter, Ms. B is the one!
Bebe is the best! Our 2nd time back and Bebe is amazing!! Great photo updates and our pup truly had a blast.
I have been using Mrs. B’s for 2 years now and I use her often to take care of my two cats. She always send photos each time she visits which I really appreciate. They seem to both like her and are very comfortable now. They don’t hide, they take treats, etc. I feel very confident in their care and it relieves my worry when I am away. I also have many last minute needs or over Holidays and she is always available for me. This is a HUGE help!! Definitely recommend!
I would absolutely recommend Ms B for your pet care needs! Bogey was boarded with Ms B for a week and we received photo updates every day. She took him on daily walks with other dogs and had lots of toys for him to play with. It’s clear she loves dogs and can make them feel right at home in her home. Bogey even slept in their bed and really became part of the family. At our first meeting, it was instantly obvious how well-known Ms. B and her dog Beignet are in the neighborhood. We will definitely use Ms. B’s boarding services again!
I recently moved to a new apartment and needed to find a new cat care service for when I travel. I was anxious about finding the right person as my cat (Jet) is skittish and shy and mostly hides when visitors are over. I reached out to Mrs. B’s and arranged a meet and greet. Bebe’s approach with Jet was gentle and patient and after a few minutes he took to Bebe and was asking her for attention. Needless to say I felt so much better about having to travel for a couple weeks. While I was away, Mrs. B’s sent daily updates and photos and let me know Jet was in great hands. My apartment was well taken care of with the litter and area kept clean, food and water were fresh. I returned to a happy cat and home just as I left them!
I highly recommend Boston's Best Dog Walkers!! They take such great care of my dog Lucky. He has gone to their board and train program several times, but recently I transitioned to using their walking services ~3x a week (group walks, 45mins). He gets to walk with other dogs and sometimes they play at the park down the street which is awesome. All of the walkers leave such nice notes in the app and take great pictures. It is easy to schedule online and I like that I can also see what time they arrived/left, where they walked, etc in the app. Thank you BBDW!!
Boston’s Best Dog Walkers truly lives up to its name! Their dog walking services have been a lifesaver, and they treat each dog with such care and attention. The walkers are incredibly reliable, always prompt, and it’s clear that they genuinely love spending time with the pups. My dog comes back happy and well-exercised every time! One of the best features of their service is their app. The recent updates have made it even easier to use, with real-time tracking and notifications, so I know exactly when my dog is picked up and dropped off. The walkers also send pictures and updates, which gives me peace of mind knowing my dog is safe and having a great time. Their boarding service is fantastic too! Whenever I need to travel, I know my dog will be in great hands with Boston’s Best. They keep me updated throughout her stay, and she always comes back happy and well-cared-for. It’s such a relief to have a trustworthy team looking after her. Overall, Boston’s Best Dog Walkers offers outstanding service and exceptional convenience for both walking and boarding. Highly recommended for any dog parent in Boston!
So happy to have found BBDW for EVERYTHING for my dog! Walking, boarding, grooming, training. You name it, they do it and do it well! Super reliable, trustworthy, and knowledgeable. Great communication with all the team members that have cared for my dog. I get lots of photos from walks and they offer GPS tracking! It’s been an absolute dream having such a caring team caring for my dog
I loved the cat home visit service while I was away! Both Dana and Nathan sent me photos, journal updates on food and water intake, if Birdie let them pet her (she's very skittish) and it was very comforting to know she was so well cared for. I received an email when they were on their way and when they started their visit.... Really appreciated the reassurance she was doing just fine! Thank you Dana, Nathan and the whole team at Boston's Best - I'll definitely be rebooking the next time I travel!
These guys are great! We get very busy during the Holidays and need the extra help, especially with our toddler. The walkers are always professional and seem almost as excited to walk my dog as the dog is to be walked. I can't recommend them enough!
We're so lucky to find BBDW, so far we tried the walk, play group and training and we're just so happy knowing that our puppy is in good hands. They sent us pictures and reports on her daily activities and the website is easy to use for scheduling and tracking.
The best of the best! Life has been so much easier since I’ve been using this team. The owner Aaron is a rock star! He cares so much about my dog and what’s going on with the team. Emily, Anh and Tara have been my regular walkers and I have no complaints. Their notes brighten up my day. Don’t look any further if you need help with your dog!
As a first time dog mom with a new energetic puppy, BBDW has been a LIFESAVER. They have made the process so much easier and less overwhelming... the in home boarding and puppy play groups are excellent. The staff is professional, knowledgeable and friendly, and prices are reasonable for the Boston area. can't recommend enough
Highly recommend BBDW for dog training, daycare and boarding. The staff is super friendly, accommodating and great with the dogs. We love the boarding services they provide, our dog always has a blast and we are constantly updated during his stay. It's a great place!
Highly recommend! Love the comprehensives services provided. The train and play is so helpful and I love that they offer drop off and pick up services - convenience mixed with training at an affordable price is huge.
I’ve known Jen, the owner, since 2008 when she began walking my dog Bella. Jen is friendly, reliable and energetic. Bella loved walking with Boston Petsitters and socializing with her buddies. As she grew elderly, she would take shorter solo walks. Jen was accommodating. My second pup, Duncan is high energy and loves his time with Jen and the other dogs in his group walks. As soon as he hears the front door open or the pups outside, he gets so excited!
We have had Boston Pet sitters walk and pet sit our furry friends since 1995! They have always been reliable and taken great care of our animals. The owner is kind, organized and loves our dogs as much as we do. Whether it is daily dog walks leaving from our home, workplace or caring for our pets when we are away, we know we can rely on them. We would recommend them to anyone who needs animal care!!
After recently moving to Boston we were nervous and stressed about finding someone to watch our senior dog while we went out of town but we are so fortunate to have come across Ethan and Elisa! They have now watched our Ollie several times and they have always been friendly, responsive and treated him like their own. They always send multiple updates throughout the day along with photos and videos. Ollie always comes home happy and we have peace of mind knowing he’s well cared for while we’re away! Could not recommend Pawmenities enough!
Elisa and Ethan are absolutely amazing! I had a wonderful experience boarding my Golden Retriever, Dawson, with them for a weekend while traveling through Boston. They were very helpful, kind, responsive, and accommodating throughout the entire process from booking to drop-off to pick-up. They took incredible care of Dawson and kept me updated throughout the weekend with lots of photos and videos. Dawson looked as happy as can be while he was there, and I’m sure he wishes that he could have stayed longer to hangout with them and the other pups some more lol. I cannot recommend them enough! Five stars doesn’t suffice — they deserve more than that!!
I was so happy to find Pawmenities! Ethan was a wonderful sitter very responsive and sent great photos and videos. Kaia had so much fun, play time, and exercise. She met Ethan's pup they were so sweet and friendly with her. I will definitely be using them again for future boarding! Highly recommended!
I am very happy with the care my pup Quinn is getting from Ethan and Elisa. They are amazing and love caring for dogs. I love knowing my pup is safe and getting great care. They know the energy my puppy has and they run with her. They are also working with my pup on her "jumping'. I love my photos and videos throughout the day I get from them. Book you dogs stay for a great cage free experience. You will not be disappointed!
Ethan and Elisa always take such fantastic care of my girls Darby and Lena. Frequent check-ins (with photos), attention to detail of their care, and it is clear that my dogs are excited to see them (not an easy feat). Highly recommend Pawmenities!!
Ethan and Elisa have watched my dog, Winston, for me now more than three times… and we will keep going to them as long as they are available! :) They are very attentive to Winston, send pictures throughout the day, and are super accommodating if your schedule shifts. I would highly recommend them to anyone!!
Pawmenities is my absolute go-to for dog sitting, and I’ve used their services many times with complete confidence. Every single time, they go above and beyond to care for my dog like their own. Whether it’s for a quick weekend trip or a longer getaway, I know my pup is in the best hands. My dog loves staying with them! They’re incredibly reliable, always punctual, and keep me updated with adorable photos and details about how my dog is doing. It’s clear they truly love what they do, and it shows in the happy tail wags I see when they arrive! I couldn’t imagine trusting anyone else with my furry family member. If you’re looking for someone who is professional, caring, and treats your dog like their own, Pawmenities is simply the best. Highly recommend!
Ethan and Elisa were amazing with my pup! They were very communicative which made me feel wonderful knowing that my bernedoodle puppy was being taken care of and having fun during the week I was away. They even bought my pup some birthday treats while I was gone to ensure she had a great 1st birthday! I will definitely continue to use them for dog sitting my pup. They’re responsive and extremely caring. Highly recommend!
Ethan and Elisa are incredible caregivers for our pup Maui! He is super high energy and playful, and he always has the best time with them and comes home safe and happy. We are repeat customers and at this point, Maui gets visibly excited to see them. Ethan and Elisa are also communicative and send us tons of photos and videos, so we have peace of mind traveling and know what Maui is up to. We would recommend them to any dog parents.
Ethan and his team were absolutely amazing with my pup Kali. They were constantly sending me pictures and videos of her living her best life while I was out of the country. They gave me daily updates and made me feel like she truly was home away from home. If you’re looking for a place that your dog can enjoy without you feeling guilty or worried, go to Pawneminities!
The absolute best pet care service in Boston! I have used Happy Pet Care for cat visits for years now and they deliver first class service every single time. They took dedicated time to understand my cat's personality and needs before their first visit and I love that I get pictures of him and updates for each visit. Each time I come home I can tell he was very loved and had lots of play time. I truly can't recommend this service enough and am incredibly grateful for them all!
I had the best experience with Happy Pet Care. Mary's team is nothing short of stellar. They are well-priced, reliable, professional, and super flexible. Over the few years that Mary's team walked Annie, I needed help on short notice -- sometime on weekends -- and they always came through for me. I would highly recommend Happy Pet Care!
Their business model goes beyond words. It is genuinely the best furry friend support I could have asked for. I work two jobs and go to school full time. These folks are so thorough with my instructions (shout out to Jen) that I genuinely feel that my dog is safe and in the best set of hands. Anytime I've had an any acute issues, the owner is quick to respond and resolve/talk things through. I appreciate the open communication and quality care Happy Pet Care offers. I could not think about ever going anywhere else! The best business I've worked with thus far.
Happy pet care took care of my cats while I went away for a few days. Mary was very quick at communicating and setting things up smoothly and efficiently. The cat sitters were great, giving me daily reports with pictures which made me feel confident they were very well taken care of. I came back to kitties that were happy and healthy. I trust and highly recommend Happy pet care!
When I lived in Fenway I used to use Rover for all my pet sitting needs. But it was a pricy service and I had to do a lot of research and vetting when choosing someone who would look after our small dog. I moved to Brighton during the pandemic and have since relied on Happy Pet Care for all our walking and sitting needs. Mary, the owner is extremely good at communicating. She is quick to schedule us in even the night before (so sorry Mary). We set up autopay so I don't have to worry about the hassle and with fixed rates every time I know exactly what the cost will be upfront as opposed to Rover which can charge me different rates depending on who is working. Happy Pet Care did increase their prices during the end of the pandemic to adjust for the rise in cost of living. I appreciated the transparency about the cost increase and the sensitivity with which it was communicated to me. I would also like to personally recommend Debra, who has cared for our dog multiple times. I feel that everyone at Happy Pet Care gets to know my dog, and seeing the same people get to know her makes me feel secure that she is in good hands and that she can recognize who is caring for her without the added stress of meeting a stranger. Happy Pet Care is a great small business that we can rely on. I have been recommending their services to new dog owners in the area and I would certainly recommend them to you.
I needed a dog walker in Brighton for our new rescue and came across glowing reviews for Happy Pet Care. They are professional, super flexible, and really care about your pet. Mary is very easy to work with and very responsive. Our first meeting was with Jen and she was great with our dog and asked all the right questions. Sean was our main dog walker and he was so caring with our dog - she is 12 years old and he never got annoyed with how slow she needed to walk. The prices are very reasonable, especially for the level of quality care you get. We will greatly miss their services in the suburbs!
We've been using Happy Pet Care for dog walks 2-3 times per week since we adopted our lab mix puppy (now over a year ago). Mary is always so responsive, kind and flexible - which is so important when you have a dog. There have been multiple occasions where we need to switch days, length of walks, or add on an additional walk. Mary has almost always been able to accommodate us! Our walker is mostly either Sophia, Jen, or Mary herself. My pup can be nervous around new people when her humans aren't around, and they have all been wonderfully patient with our pup. Thanks for helping us care for our fur baby! Updated review: It has now been 2.5 years using Happy Pet Care. We could not ask for a better, more reliable, patient, understanding, and kind dog walking service. We've had Mary, Sophia, Jen, Matt, and Debra walk our pup - and they've all been great. Mary is always very responsive, and easy to work with, even with last minute changes. Additionally, her prices have not gone up, while other services we use for our pup have. The dog walks are high quality with a great price, and a lot of flexibility (because life happens). We're sad that our pup won't have them for her mid day walks while we're at work after we move.
I totally recommend these lovely people. Bek does a fast kind and amazing job on a very nervous Woody. Sooo happy I found her she’s amazing, thanks so very much for the best nails experience since I arrived. 👍🏼😁❤️ …
I spent two weeks out of town and Lisa from Happy Pet Care came by my apartment twice a day to look after my rabbit, Auggie. I've never left my bun alone for a such a long time and was initially anxious about the separation, but Lisa was wonderful in every way. First, she had previous experience caring for her own rabbit, which was important to me because rabbits are nonverbal creatures and require someone who is familiar with their signs of illness or distress. Second, she sent sweet text and photos updates of Auggie twice a day, and it was apparent that he was both happy and comfortable in her care. Third, Lisa went above and beyond in caring for my bun--she weathered fierce storms to check on him, doted on him with his favorite salad greens, arranged a last-minute emergency visit when my flight home was delayed, and showered him with so much affection that not once did I worry about Auggie during the two weeks that I was gone. Can't recommend Happy Pet Care enough, and Ms. Lisa especially! She's my go-to gal from here on out whenever I'm heading out of town.
We have been using Happy Pet Care for about two years now and we could not be happier with the thoughtful, thorough care they have provided for our two dogs and two cats over this time. We have relied on Mary and her staff for individual walks, taxis, and cat sitting. We simply would not be able to manage our lives without Happy Pet Care. Mary is wonderfully responsive and always works hard to accommodate our requests, even when we have to make them at the last minute due to unforeseen changes. Mary's staff, particularly Jen and Renee, have always been nothing short of amazing. Renee in particular always goes so far above and beyond, and she treats all our pets like they were her own. We consider ourselves and our pets to be very lucky to have connected with Mary and her staff.
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!
My husband and I are so grateful for Paws to Consider walking service. They have been wonderful to our dog Oreo, and were always reliable and easy to communicate with. We loved the updates we would get about their walks with Oreo! We would absolutely recommend Paws to Consider !!
We absolutely love Paws to Consider and their team! They have been walking our Bassett/Lab mix, Finn, for a couple of months now and he loves them. They are so reliable, very responsive, and accommodating to our work schedules. Plus, they even provide daily pictures which we love (see below)!! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for dog walking or overnight sitting.
We love Paws to Consider! They take wonderful care of our dog Bella, scheduling is very easy through their portal, and they are very communicative. The updates we get about how the walks went are the BEST. So informative with tons of pictures. It’s obvious they really care and do a great job!
Paws To Consider is a wonderful dog walking service. Their walkers are professional and friendly, on time and really seem to love my dog. Cricket can be a little difficult to meet, as she has a stranger/danger reaction sometimes, but Paws does a great job of introducing new walkers to Cricket. They are great, and help me out so much with my sweet dog. Also, their level of and clear communication is fantastic. Couldn't be happier with these guys!
Very happy with the dog walking service these past few months! My corgi gets a good walk in, treats, and cute photos taken. They have been very accommodating with any last minute schedule changes. Would highly recommend!
Our neighbors recommended Paws to us three years ago and we have been scheduling occasional walks and sitting for our dog, Jack, since then. The shelter where we adopted Jack would only release him to a forever home with no other dogs since he was surrendered due to his aggressive behavior with other dogs. None of his walkers/sitters at Paws have reported any problems and frequently seem to do a better job of controlling his behavior than we do. Paws even recommended a harness which Jack seems to be much more comfortable with than the collar we were using. We love the frequent updates that the walkers/sitters provide after each walk including lots of really great photographs, maps of the routes walked, and number of bowel movements. It would be difficult to leave Jack in a kennel and we feel much more comfortable having the sitters from Paws stay with Jack at our home. We’ve always found our home as clean, orderly, and secure as we left it. All of the walkers and sitters at Paws have gotten along so well with Jack that we haven’t had to worry and sometimes even get a bit envious. We would highly recommend Paws to anyone.
We utilize dog walking services for our Goldendoodle puppy. We have found them to be exceptional! Excellent communication, Extremely organized, Reliable dog care are just a few of the things we like best. Our puppy can be difficult at times on walks and anxious around strangers. Jana has been extremely good for our pup. I always have peace of mind when I go to work. I love the report cards we get with photos. They are caring, professional and flexible. Walks are solo or with 1 compatible dog. I love that about them. It’s definitely a more personalized approach and they are very thoughtful with transitions when it comes to introducing our pup to other dog walkers they build in additional time.
Been using Paws for years (6+) and would (and did) highly recommend! They are exceptionally accommodating to fluctuating work schedules and are great with walking an extra dog, when I dog sit for friends.
Paws To Consider has been incredible! We adopted a dog last year who ended up being somewhat high maintenance. Paws To Consider has taken SUCH good care of him on his weekly walks. The post-walk messages and photos are thorough and fun to see. The administrative team has also been really helpful and flexible with our varying schedule. We are sadly moving out of their radius, and I know we won't find a dog walker that our dog bonds with as much!
I have used Paws to Consider dog walking service since September 2022 for my dog Charlie. We were new to the area and took a chance. We discovered Paws to Consider is an exceptional and reliable petsitting company! The walkers are carefully vetted, and I get photos and updates after every visit. The office is responsive when we need to make schedule changes. I have used a number of dogwalkers over the years, and Paws to Consider is the absolute BEST in the area!!!!!!
