Our family loves Happy Pet Care! Mary and her team are amazing! They take the best care of our pup and are always flexible with our ever changing schedule! Lucy is always happy to head out with Jen and she sends the best end of day reports! I highly recommend Happy Pet Care! read more

I love Happy Pet Care! My dog, OC has been with them since was a puppy- she's 8 now! Mary the owner, has personally called me or texted me anytime anything came up with OC- like she got sick. They are so accomodating to my busy scheudle and have been able to help out last minute, NUMEROUS times. OC is obessed with Jen at daycare, and she couldnt' be sweeter to my dog. Thank you for 8 years of wonderful service and care! read more

I cannot recommend Happy Pet Care enough! I have used them for years for cat visits and they deliver a first-class experience every single time. Mary is always incredibly responsive, they are always able to find someone to watch him and frequently it's the same person which is great, but everyone who has watched him shows him so much love and gives him plenty of playtime. They even send me a picture of him and a little update each visit which makes my time away from him much less stressful, I love I can get a glimpse of him and know he's being so well cared for! read more

The staff are very responsive and caring and give detailed updates. We are nervous pet owners, but due to the past 6 months of excellent service, we trust them wholeheartedly with our dogs. They work around the needs of our pets and treat them like their own! read more

Woof Woof Woof Woof Woof Woof!!! Human Translation: My Goldendoodle LOVES Happy Pet Care! As most pet owners know, there are so many options for pet care in Boston that it can make you feel overwhelmed, but at the same time, you want someone caring for your beloved 4-pawed family member who truly loves animals, and isn't doing it just to make some extra cash. Enter Happy Pet Care! Choosing Mary to care for my beloved pup was easy, since I had seen her around my neighborhood long before I even decided to get a puppy. Sometimes there would be one nice dog trotting along beside her, sometimes a happy pack of dogs (why couldn't I get my dog to like his leash that much when he was a puppy?). Mary took care of his daily walks, overnight stays, and the best example of how he feels about Happy Pet Care is when I was at the park with him one day in Brookline, and Mary was there with some of her other 4-pawed clients. He saw Mary, ran right over to her, tail wagging, and refused to come back to me. Normally I would be annoyed, but I can't be aggravated when I see how much he loves his pet-sitter! :) read more

We've been using Happy Pet Care for dog walks 2-3 times per week since we adopted our lab mix puppy (2.5 years 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! My pup can be nervous around new people when her humans aren't around, and they have all been wonderfully patient with our pup. Typically there's one walker who is assigned, which is wonderful for consistency, especially when she was younger. Her whole team is amazing - Sophia, Jen, Matt, and Debra. Thank you for helping us care for our fur baby! read more

Mary and all her employees have been amazing with our dog! Super reliable, always on time, and extremely flexible with our schedules. Pricing on walks also is the best in Brighton. Would 100% recommend to anyone who needs dog walking services in the Brighton, MA area. read more

We used Happy Pet Care recently for cat visits for our cat Emmy while away on a week-long vacation. From the initial visit to gather the necessary information and our communications with the owner Mary, to Sean's daily visits with Emmy, we were beyond pleased with the service. During our week away, everything was completed exactly as we requested. What really makes the service provided by Happy Pet Care fantastic is the daily reports regarding their visit. Sean sent us very thorough texts after each visit that included details of what was completed, as well as updates on Emmy's well-being. Emmy is a very anxious cat, and knowing that he saw no signs of stress while we were away eased our worries. We plan to use Happy Pet Care whenever we are out of town. We would recommend them to any cat owner in the Brighton area without reservation. read more

My dog loves walking with their friendly staff. The owner Mary is very responsive and reliable, overall I have a good experience with their service. read more

So happy I found this place! They are all absolutely wonderful and genuinely care about your pets. Also prices are very reasonable for all the work they do (like watering plants). Can't thank you all enough! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Happy Pet Care! As the new owners of a "pandemic puppy," doggie daycare days were a lifesaver for my boyfriend and I (and our productivity) twice per week, and were Lucy's absolute FAVORITE. Even though we've been working from home, with meetings and other obligations, it's tough to give Lucy the attention and exercise she needs throughout the day, so half day doggie daycare 2x/week was perfect, and to top it off, Happy Pet does pick up and drop off!! This was the only service we used for the past almost year now, and I'm sure we would've continued and used more of their services if we didn't end up moving out of the area. Jen and Mary are so wonderful, responsive, and flexible, and it was such a great feeling knowing that Lucy was in wonderful hands while at daycare playing with all of her besties. We'll miss Happy Pet Care a TON, and cannot recommend them enough. read more

I recently moved to the area and I was worried about finding a dog walker who would meet our needs. Luckily, I landed on Happy Pet Care and they have made the process incredibly easy. This company is by far the most professional dog walking service I have used, their communication system is clear, and payment is made so simple. Before the move, I was worried about my dog's adjustment to a new place, but Happy Pet Care has certainly helped ease any anxiousness and even introduced her to some new dog friends! read more

Happy Pet Care is just amazing. As a nervous pet owner who worries about leaving their pet alone, they've made me feel at ease and even comfortable with leaving our cat for a few days. They are so responsive, thoughtful, and accommodating, and it's been such a pleasure working with them. My cat is usually nervous around people, but Lisa has the magic touch and I know that when I'm away she's in great hands. I would absolutely recommend Happy Pet Care to anyone looking for a pet service in the area. read more

If you're checking out Yelp reviews to research a potential pet sitter, then you're clearly a concientious and attentive pet owner. You're likely looking for someone hard-working and caring who will give you peace of mind when you need someone to care for your beloved fuzzy family members. And I've got good news for you Brighton residents - you can stop your search here. Mary and her team take phenomenal care of my cats - from the first time I met Mary I knew I was hiring the right company. The many subsequent visits from Joanna, Andrea and Kathleen have all been superb. (Bonus: they invoice at the end of each month and can bill credit cards directly, so payment is a breeze.) We've used Happy Pet Care for short weekend trips as well as longer, two week vacations, and also for day-time visits when our work schedules are very busy. A few months ago we introduced a kitten to our adult cat and had Happy Pet Care visit during work days while the kitties were still in the first phase of introduction (separate rooms). The sitters provided wonderful, thoughtful care that was invaluable to the ultimate success of the cats' introduction. Recently, when my adult cat became sick, the sitters were were simply amazing about administering medicine; I work downtown, so otherwise the regular dosing every four hours would have been very difficult. That peace of mind and tender care provided was invaluable to me as my beloved cat recovered, and I will forever sing Happy Pet Care's praises for their amazing work! read more

I have been using Happy Pet Care since February. I loved our previous dog walkers in New Hampshire and was so nervous I wouldn't be able to find the same caliber of care for my pup. Once I found Happy Pet Care, my mind was at ease. I can't say enough great things about them! Our GSP LOVES his walker Hailee and gets to socialize with other pups, and I love not having to worry about my four-legged bestie when I am at work. Mary is SO accommodating, I have reached out to her to change our schedule, and to request last minute walks and there is never an issue. If you are looking for a place you can trust, you've found it! read more

I have to travel a fair bit for work (and occasionally for fun), and I know my cat is in good hands with the various sitters that Mary employs. In the little over a year or so that I've used Happy Pet Care, Mary (the owner) has never failed to be amazingly responsive to any message, and she has also been accommodating for the occasional last minute request or change. The sitters themselves have all been great: reliable and actually spending a little time to interact and play with my cat (a lot of sitters will just speed through the visit, changing food, water, and litter, and then quickly leaving). Her prices seem fair and reasonable. The only issues I've ever run into (and they've all been minor enough to easily overlook) have been that there can be different prices on holidays (which makes sense) that I wasn't informed of ahead of time, and that the sitters will only occasionally and randomly email visit updates. All in all, I'd highly recommend Happy Pet Care. read more

After seeing the Happy Pet Care logo on a car in my neighborhood, I decided to give Mary a call. She came to meet with me at my apartment in order to meet both of my dogs and review all of their needs. She was incredible friendly and professional and listening to all the details (even if I may have been a little too over-detailed!) Mary and her team and incredible. My schedule tends to jump around a lot and they are always super accommodating to my hectic life. I can always get walks at the last minute which is very important should something come up. I always have 100% confidence that my dogs are being cared for and are happy whenever Happy Pet Care comes to take care of them. And I love the personalized notes detailing their walk when I get home. I wish I was going to be living in Brighton for more than a year and a half because I LOVE Happy Pet Care! It will be difficult to replace them! read more

I found Happy Pet Care a little over a month ago as I was getting ready to return to the office, and have been SO grateful to be leaving my dog in such good hands during the work day! It made returning to the office so much easier. My dog goes to day care 2-3 days per week, and I love the daily report I get describing how she did and hearing about her fun playtime with her new dog friends. Mary and Jen are amazing - they are super responsive and accommodating of any schedule changes, and I can tell how much they care for the pets. Cannot recommend them highly enough! read more

In a word, Happy Pet Care is awesome. Here are some highlights that I've experienced over the past year-and-a-half with Happy Pet Care: - Adjustable schedule; my schedule is always shifting, as I have a broad range of clients with meetings popping up at the last minute. Happy Pet Care is always flexible and understanding when it comes to modifying a walk or two during a given day. - The notes; after each walk, the walker will leave a handwritten note containing the following information: walk time start, walk time end, the various dogs that made up 'the pack' that day, where they went on their walk, and of course any other highlights, etc. of the walk. After a long day at the office, it's fun to take a minute to read about my dog's fun day. - The professionalism of the staff: prior to our first walk, Mary (the owner of Happy Pet Care) sat down with us and our dog to better understand what we wanted out of their service offerings. I was impressed by the fact that Mary took the time to give us a detailed overview of their day-to-day operations, the walks, their staff screening, and their staff experience. This overall professional demeanor is evident throughout the Happy Pet Care staff, as we have experienced at least four different walkers now and we always get the same great experience. - Training: our dog is a rescue dog and grew up with his brother in an abandoned house. With that said, he has a 'play first' attitude and obviously had a few things to learn once he started spending quality time with other dogs. Mary and her staff have continually shown patience and professionalism is helping our dog become acclimated to dog society. As Cesar says, 'A tired dog is a happy dog'. Happy Pet Care has certainly made our dog happy through their attentiveness, professionalism, and continual care. And since he's happy, we're happy! read more

Mary and Kathleen are so good! We needed someone to take care of our very active, very needy cat Moxie while we were away on an 9-day business trip. Mary was very responsive and kept us updated at every point leading up to our trip. She had the dates and times for visits confirmed well before we left. Kathleen came by our house and spent some quality time getting to know Moxie and his routine, and she took detailed notes about everything. During the trip, Kathleen came by twice a day to feed, play, and clean up after Moxie. She left nice notes each time, and noted when he did anything even slightly out of the ordinary (because you know, puke happens). Our apartment was left in perfect condition, and Mox seemed happy to see us but not at all freaked out when we came back home. The last time we took a trip, we put Mox in a cat boarding facility nearby, but the unfamiliar activity combined with other cat smells/noises really freaked him out, and he was crazy for weeks afterward. I would recommend Happy Pet Care as an alternative to cat boarding if you at all have a choice. Payment was easy, too. Mary gave us several options for payment before or after service, and it was a straightforward process of receiving an invoice and mailing a check. They seem to really care about and love animals, and that's very reassuring to know when you have to leave your pets alone for an extended period. I highly recommend them :) read more

Mary is FANTASTIC. She took care of our kitties over Thanksgiving on relatively short notice. She came by for a consult, listened to all of our kitty particulars, was professional and thorough, and just plain nice. She was so patient to write down all of our specifications, and did a phenomenal job with the cats - even leaving notes detailing each visit! We can't say enough about HPC. THANK YOU for making our holiday more enjoyable by providing stellar care for our cats - we didn't have to worry about them at all. read more

I have been very impressed with every aspect of Happy Pet Care. My dog, Abby, had been lashing out at the other dogs at her doggie daycare and I was concerned that she was getting overwhelmed at the number of dogs in that confined space. I called Mary and she really listened to our concerns, letting me know that her walks would only be with three other dogs maximum. Mary has also been incredibly patient with all of my emails and questions and always responds quickly. Chris, Abby's walker, leaves detailed reports of their sojourns and Abby has done great on every walk, even with a variety of new dogs. We ran into Chris the other day and it's clear that they have a great rapport. Most importantly, Abby is happy and wagging her tail when I get home. Thank you, Happy Pet Care! read more

One of the hardest parts of us leaving Boston was leaving Happy Pet Care. Doggy daycare was literally our dog's favorite part of the day. He was picked up and dropped off consistently and always rushed to the stairs when he knew he was about to be picked up. He would come home completely exhausted and happy and became really close with a lot of the dogs there. Jen (who was generally his pickup contact) was always helpful and really great with our dog. We also did dog walking services and Bandit loved his walker Dan. We haven't found a real replacement yet for Happy Pet Care and I'm not sure we ever will. Thank you for great service!!! read more

Absolutely love happy pet care. My dog has been going there for about a month and I am so happy I found them. They have a wonderful team. I meet Jen every-time she picks up and drops off Abby. She is so patient with Abby and keeps me updated on how she did during the day. I was very worried initially but after meeting Jen I am so relieved and know that Abby is in good hands. They are very flexible as well. I highly recommend them. read more

So sad, but we moved out of Brighton and can no longer use Happy Pet Care, but Mary and her staff have been amazing to us. We had Mary, Rasheed, Andrea, and Chris walking Charlie the 2 years that we used Happy Pet Care and could not have asked for a better group of people - it was obvious that Charlie loved each of them, especially since we would see Rasheed and Chris at times when we were out walking Charlie and Charlie would be so excited to see them - jumping on them - something he rarely does, but was so excited he can't contain himself. Since I've already written about Rasheed and Mary, I want to mention that Andrea was absolutely wonderful - she would not only write detailed notes about Charlie and his day, but about our cat, Penny too! And how she would pet Penny and Charlie when they got back from their walk - Andrea also left Charlie birthday treats and holiday treats in December. She is amazing! Chris is also equally amazing! It was obvious how much he loved Charlie and how much Charlie loved him - every note that Chris wrote was fun to read - it was fun reading about Charlie's adventures and how he acted when we weren't around. We are so sad to have to say goodbye to Happy Pet Care and wish they served the area we are in now, especially seeing the prices/offerings in our new area! We would 100% recommend HPC to anyone looking for a dog walker - and all the referrals we sent have to HPC have loved them as well :). read more

Super reliable and easy to coordinate with. Mary took care of (visited) my two cats while we were away on vacation and everything went really well--cats were happy, I was happy, and hopefully Mary was happy. I got a note every time Mary visited describing how the cats were doing and she took in the mail. Their pricing is simple and well laid out, and everything is flexible. Basically, totally simple, convenient and reliable service. read more

They did a good job and I like that they leave notes about each visit. Last time I used On Call Pet Service and she did a terrible job, never again. Mary and Sylvia were great. read more

Having used several larger pet sitting companies in the past and being quite dissatisfied, I called Happy Pet Care after seeing their logo on cars in my area. I was pleasantly surprised to talk to Mary, the owner, who scheduled an appointment to meet me and my cat on a weekend day at a time that was convenient for me. Mary spent about 15-20 mins going over all the details with me. HPC is fully bonded and insured. Unlike other companies, HPC charges only on a per visit basis and doesn't charge a monthly fee or a membership charge. I was also very happy to find out HPC makes sure the same person visits your pet all week. When I arrived home after my vacation, I had a week's worth of detailed notes left by Mary and a very happy cat. (Granted, he eats and sleeps all day, so he should be very happy :) ) Mary stayed for 20-30 mins each day, spent some quality play time with my cat, brought in my mail, and took care of the food, water, and litter. Overall, I am very happy with HPC and will definitely be using them in the future. read more

I have been using Happy Pet Care since March 2012, Mary is awesome! Super accommodating about schedule changes. I have an English Bulldog and over the summer her walker Gerardo always made sure she was comfortable had water after her walk and if it was too hot he took her out long enough to do her business and made sure she didn't overheat, even gave her ice cubes when they returned home! I have been home a couple of times when Gerardo came pick her up for their walk and its obvious Tessie loves him! I Highly recommend Happy Pet Care!! read more

Thank goodness we found Happy Pet Care, we can finally relax when leaving town for vacation. We have two maie cats, age 11 and 19. In the past we would leave out piles of food or using electronic food dispensers over long weekends. This wasn't a great solution and we always felt concerned while away. We went on a 9 day honeymoon out of the country and decided to use Happy Pet Care. Mary was always responsive with questions through email, which helped us feel more secure. Andrea took care of our boys and did an amazing job! She emailed us periodically throughout the vacation to help ease my mind that they were okay. She also cleaned up after some of their "presents" they leave behind when they are stressed, picked up our mail for us and always stayed to pet the boys and give them some love, not just feeding and leaving. Every day she was here she wrote us a note detailing her visit, which was fun coming home to. We highly recommend them for anyone in our situation, who needs to go away for a little while or for an extended vacation - Happy Pet Care is the best! We will definitely use them again. read more

This company is amazing! They've taken care of my cat various times and it's always wonderful. I cannot recommend their services enough, always extremely professional and trustworthy. I have so much peace of mind knowing that my kitty will be well taken care of. They even leave notes during the visits to let you know how it went. I usually don't write reviews but the service was so awesome I had to go out of my way to recommend them. You definitely won't regret using their services! read more

Misty, my 10 year old Shiba Inu, loves Happy Pet Care and so do I. I've used other services but seriously this one is the best. Dependable, consistent, reliable and attentive are just a few of the adjectives one could use to describe Mary and the Happy Pet Care walkers. Sylvia, Misty's daily walker, leaves well written notes after each walk which is really appreciated. I also use HPC for boarding. Misty loves it so much that on occasion she'll insist on walking over to Mary's for a quick hello. Can't think of a better recommendation than that! read more

Mary and her team are THE ABSOLUTE BEST. I had to travel for work for weeks at a time this summer and Mary and her team took great care of my Jack Russell. My dog gets so wiggly and happy every time he sees one of his walkers. They do a wonderful job and leave detailed notes about every visit. I would highly recommend Mary and her team to anyone! read more

Happy Pet Care - Pet Sitting Near Me - Brighton, Massachusetts

LOVE LOVE LOVE HAPPY PET CARE! - Finding a trustworthy dogwalker/sitter can be a stressful episode, as they are a family member and you want them to be well taken good care of - and we couldn't have been more thrilled with the super reliable and professional service that Mary (the owner) and her team provided when we relocated from California. And the only reason we stopped using their service is because we moved out of their service areas to Winthrop. (hey Mary, if you ever want to start a Winthrop division I'm your girl! ) They have several time walking options- and single or multi dog walks- And the walkers (ours was Sean- THANK YOU AGAIN SEAN!)- will leave a note in a journal you leave to let you know what time they were walked and with what other dogs and if they did their business or not. And payment is so easy- as it is linked to your credit or debit card or you can opt to write a check- and you pay at the end of each month- We miss you happy pet care! LOVE NICK, KARA AND WALTER LITANO :) read more

Happy Pet Care is the absolute BEST and the only people I trust with my precious cat! I have been using Happy Pet Care for over a year and a half and I can not recommend them highly enough. Mary, the owner, is absolutely wonderful and so accommodating. There have been numerous times where I requested last minute care and Mary's answer was always no problem at all. I also had a concern one time and Mary fixed it immediately and made me feel at ease about everything. Happy Pet Care is wonderful - I use them for vacations, both long and short, and even when my cat got spayed and I was worried about being away for long hours the week following. Absolutely trust them as a pet sitting service - they really do love the animals like they are their own! Thank you Happy Pet Care!! read more

I love Happy Pet Care! Mary came over before my first visit to get all information needed to watch Boots in the upcoming week. She made note of everything from diet to behavior. I've used her pet care twice now and what I love most is that whenever a pet sitter comes, they leave a little log of information about how he was eating and acting. I would highly recommend this company to any pet owner seeking affordable, quality care. read more

We moved to Boston from Utah 2.5 years ago with our maltese poodle. She is now nearly 19, so she was pretty ancient even when we moved here. She is so old she doesn't need regular dog walking services or anything, but when we have left town a few times we needed her to have services. I hired a Boston company when we lived in Back Bay, and they were terrible. Sent a man when I said she'd do better with a woman, you could tell they had visited and just watched TV and eaten snacks. They didn't take her outside ONCE in all the time we were gone, about a week and a half. I said she is curmudgeony but please try to take her out for fresh air. Nope. The owner of the company that I interviewed with even showed up a WEEK BEFORE we even left---she confused the date of our trip and entered our apt. one evening when I was home alone. Not cool. The next two times we went away our dog stayed with a friend. This was no longer possible the most recent time we traveled, in June, so I needed to find a sitter. I looked online and Happy Pet Care had great reviews, so I gave them a try. They were so responsive and it was great from the start. Mary came over to meet Scout and interview us, then the actual sitter Andrea came over for the run-down. We were gone for 9 days and had a once-daily evening visit with Andrea. When I came home, everything was perfect and she had written a detailed paragraph about our dog's day, each visit. They seem detailed and attentive, and an all around great company. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking! I am a nanny, and after having my dog for 17 years, I know how important pets are to their people. They are like our babies. Happy Pet Care treats them with the respect they deserve, like you would want a daycare provider to care for your children. read more

Highly recommend Happy Pet Care!! We used this company when we lived in Newtonville and they were awesome. It's so hard to find a great dogwalker that not only comes when they say they will but also really treats your pet like their own. We have an older English Bulldog that requires slower walks and a lot of caution in the heat. We had daily walking services and took advantage of pet sitting quite a few times. Mary was super accommodating and awesome to work with. We totally trusted her with our dog and were so happy with her services. read more

The only reason I stopped using happy pet care is because I moved to Kentucky. This was the BEST service ever. They were super professional and reliable. I received notes from every visit when I came home from a trip and my cat has never been happier! I would 110% recommend happy pet care to anyone in the Boston area. I was actually sad when I had to stop using their service since I moved. I hope their business keeps thriving and I'm SO happy I found them :) thank you so much for everything! Vinny the cat misses you!!!! read more

We sadly moved out of Happy Pet Care's service area and aren't sure what we can do to replace them! Our walker, Sophia, was amazing with our pup. Mary, the owner, does an amazing job and is so great to work with. We have a difficult pup who has had a tough time with medical issues. When we started looking for a walker we were worried we wouldn't find somewhere right for him, but Happy Pet Care was just the right fit. Can't recommend them enough! read more
