Her daily communication with you about your fur baby will put you at ease. She has been watching my pug and cat for many years. She has also helped me out in emergencies resulting in multiple two week hospitalization stays. She has even gone over and beyond helping me make a difficult decision to leave my pug with a nurse at the hospital, where I was admitted. Lori had her wedding that week. She spoke with the nurse. Then went to my home to prepare my dog to for her week stay with the nurse. She met the nurse at my home and did the transfer. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my fur babies. Also, having a older pug it gave me a piece of mind knowing that she is pet CPR and FIRST AID CERTIFIED. I have also nannied over the years for families that have also used Lori as a pet sitter and dog walker. Please reach out if you need a reference if you move forward with Lori

Kelly has gone above and beyond what I expected from a dogwalker. She's always on time, reliable, and friendly. My dog greets her with enthusiasm and excitement that he normally reserves for myself and close friends. He couldn't be happier and it shows when he gets home and falls asleep after letting out a big, content sigh, as if to say "today was a good day." If you're debating between dogwalkers and unsure who you can trust, all you have to do is look at Kelly's blog and ask yourself if you'll be able to find anyone who cares more about dogs (and lets it show)? http://penziblog.com/

Great communication- daily text updates to let us know how the walk went and any issues that might have come up 3. Excellent web interface - the website allows for easy scheduling and weekly autopay options 4. Flexibility - We have a very dynamic work schedule, and Heather is extraordinarily accommodating with last minute changes and irregular days on a week-to-week basis Heather has been a huge blessing for our family, and we honestly don't know where we'd be without her. When we first rescued our dog, he was extremely nervous around strangers. Unfortunately, as a two-career household, we had to figure out a dogwalking situation that would work for him. We went through several dogwalking programs who flat out told us no and went so far as to make us feel as if there was something wrong with our dog for being so fearful. Heather, on the other hand, was a relief from the moment she walked in the door. She met our dog for about 15 minutes and was immediately confident that she could walk him. Her easygoing assuredness made us feel so much better about leaving him to go to work. Now he runs to meet her at the door and can't wait to go out with her. She's also been instrumental in bringing him out of his shell with other dogs - he has several friends through Heather that he walks with. Overall, Tails of Boston has been a tremendous benefit to our whole family, and we are so grateful to have Heather!

Our cat loves her - Adriane comes by the apartment once a day to feed him, clean his litter and play with him, and always sends us pictures and emails to let us know he's doing okay while we're gone. Adriane's very knowledgeable about animals and has had great recommendations for any pet issues we've experienced (hair balls, wolfing down food, etc) and it's clear that she loves animals very much. Working with Adriane has been very easy - we communicate over email, she's happy to come by the apartment to pick up/drop off our keys before/after our trips, and has been available every time we've needed a cat sitter. Her daily rate is very reasonable as well! We're moving out of Cambridge in a few weeks and one of the things we'll miss the most is having Adriane to take care of our cat.

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.

They all have a magic touch with dogs; they are incredibly talented at getting them to listen and always shower them with attention.

Julie frequently watches our 2 dogs while we're away overnight. She always does a great job - they come home happily exhausted from playing with her dog Diesel. I've always been impressed. But this past weekend, I was even more impressed with her service and dedication to our dogs. Julie had the dogs for the weekend while we were on vacation - and dropped them off per our request on Monday. Unfortunately, our flight was significantly delayed and we were now scheduled to get home the following day. One quick late-night phone call to Julie and she was back at our house to pick up the dogs once again and keep them for another, unexpected night. She's easily the most reliable dog sitter I've ever used. I've never had a problem with her reliability. We also use Neighborly for daily walking service. Cristina - our walker - is great.
