I met Jennafer during an initial consultation to meet my goldendoodle. She is very flexible with dates and times and cancellations. Every visit she writes what she did in a journal and she will often send pictures via text or post them on Facebook of instagram. I would highly recommend JC to anyone in the Waltham area. Her prices are similar or less than the other walkers I researched.

To our utter amazement, she was able to not only get our pup on the car for the hike, but spend a lot of time after the trial run talking through some training advice, all of which was incredibly on-point. We learned more in 45 minutes with Carrie than we did in two years of dog training books and online courses. TL;DR - if you're looking for a magical dog walker/trainer who is reliable, thorough, knows what they're doing - Carrie is the one.

I started Wagnificent in December of 2017, after several fun years of on-leash dogwalking. Many dogs I walked had good recall skills and were eager for more exercise, including Kernel. This inspired me to start a physically and mentally stimulating program for dogs, where they are rewarded in numerous ways for exhibiting good behavior. Hiking off-leash with the pack gives each dog a sense of confidence, friendship and EXHAUSTION! I build trusting relationships with every pack member by routinely practicing basic commands and using positive reinforcement, including but not limited to cheese.

Exceptional care for our high-maintenance big baby! We…read morerecently used Pawsitive Dawg Walking and Pet Sitting for a week to care for Saint, our needy 9-year-old Giant Schnauzer. We left him with my elderly parents, who loved the company but couldn't walk a dog of his size. As first-time users (of anyone walking our guy before), we were nervous, but Pawsitive stepped in perfectly. Several major green flags stood out: * The Meet-and-Greet: Angela, the owner, came to the house to meet Saint and learn his unique personality, which immediately eased my anxiety. * The Time to Pet App: It allowed our whole family to easily communicate scheduling and details like Saint's sensitive tummy. * Caring Communication: The detailed walk summaries showed they truly understood our emotional boy. Every one of those walk summaries made me smile & chuckle too! * Real Animal Lovers: It is clear the team does this job out of genuine love for animals. Thanks to Pawsitive, I could relax and enjoy my vacation knowing Saint was in the best possible hands. They are the real deal! We highly recommend Angela and her team for trustworthy, loving pet care in the Waltham area and beyond.

Debbie has walked our dog since she was a puppy (she is now 2.5) and she is always excited to see what adventure Debbie is going to take her on that day. Debbie takes our dog to the park multiple times a week for socialization and stimulation/activity, in addition to routine walks and has done dinner visits if we are unable to make it home on time. If we are working on training, Debbie incorporates it into her time with our dog so that there is continuity in the messages she receives from her handlers. Debbie loves dogs and it shows in the attention and manner which she treats our dog. I have and will continue to recommend Debbie to any dog owner in the area.
