I cannot rate Boston Fetch highly enough. We have used them for the past two years as our dog…read morewalkers and sitters. The team at Boston Fetch is respectful, responsive, supportive, kind, trustworthy, and fair. Most importantly, they've treated our dogs like they are their own. They send a report after every walk with a map of the walk, a short comment about how it went, indicators of the dog's actions (pee, poop, water), and the BEST photos of the dogs - who always look so happy. While they most often walked around the neighborhood, James would sometimes go the extra mile and take the pups to Franklin Park for an extra special adventure. We trust Boston Fetch so much that we had James as our sitter for our 2 week honeymoon - during which we were often without service or otherwise not able to answer. We came back to two very happy and well-cared for pups! If you're looking for a dog walker in the JP area, stop looking and call Boston Fetch. You won't regret it!

We have been using Woof and Meow Dog Walking Services since November 2024, and we truly cannot say…read moreenough wonderful things about them. From day one, they have been incredibly punctual, attentive, and genuinely caring toward our dogs. Our dogs have been walked regularly for the past two years, and the team consistently goes above and beyond. Samantha is always so sweet and thoughtful--she regularly sends us pictures and updates, which we absolutely love. Gideon gives our slower-paced pup that extra TLC and patience, which means so much to us. Matt has also been fantastic--reliable, kind, and clearly passionate about what he does. Bruce, the owner, is extremely responsive and wonderful to work with. It's clear that he runs his business with care and professionalism, and that carries through to the entire team. We feel so lucky to have found Woof and Meow. It gives us total peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such loving and capable hands. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and compassionate dog walking services! We are so bummed to be moving out of the city but couldn't recommend them enough!

I used…read moreto use Paws to Consider and they were irresponsible, so I have had a great experience with Bruce and his team. They follow special instructions for our fussy cat such as filing a pitcher of water in the sink instead of a bowl. They clean-up the revenge messes on the kitchen floor. They take great pictures when they visit and share them with me. They place treats around the apartment and play with Sammie while they are there. Most of all I appreciate how reliable they have been, especially during Holidays. I highly recommend them for cat sitting.

He had a GREAT time, met new dog friends, and when I picked him up at the park the next morning (during the morning romp for all the Urban K9 dogs), he barely acknowledged me. When we got home, he slept for HOURS. He was happy and exhausted, which made me happy as well. I am so glad someone recommended Urban K9 to me, and you should check it out!

They came to meet me and Iggy, that's his name. They made the process very simple. I completed the forms, gave them instructions. I left the payment and they left me a paid invoice with a report on my cat. They feed him and cleaned his litter box as requested. I look forward to doing more business with them in the future.

Can't say enough good things about the Pooped Pooch! We came to them right after I adopted my dog,…read moreTubbs, and he was a nervous mess with no training and a million other problems. Daycare was not his favorite thing but I kept having him attend, once a week to build his socialization and have an outlet without me. After going to daycare once a week for months, he finally had a switch flip and absolutely LOVES daycare. He knows on Tuesday mornings he has to get ready early and spends the entire drive there with his tail wagging excitedly. This once very anxious and unsure pup now looks forward to playing and "going to school". He is always worn out and sleeps for like 2 days straight after attending. Tubbs also has a lot of allergies and needs special attention to those medical things. They make sure he never comes even near any of his allergies and i fully trust he is getting great care. Whenever we do an overnight stay, they make sure he takes all his meds, update me on his visit and has lots of fun playing. We love the pooped pooch and are totally of the belief that everyone should be going to doggy daycare - especially them if you live in the dorchester area!!

Not Sarah and Jeff! Jeff was a superstar and was available to visit twice per day over the holiday week, including Christmas day.

I've already booked Sarah and Jeff to take care of my cats next month and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone in the JP area!

When I made my dogs appointment for grooming I called the dedham location. Once booked, they never…read moreinformed me that the location I called doesn't do grooming and that I'd have to go to their other location in Jamaica plain. I drove 30 minutes to get to the Durham location just for them to tell me that I have to drive 30 minutes in the opposite direction. When I arrived at the correct location, the lady who I spoke to about how I wanted my dogs haircut to look seemed a bit ignorant like she knew nothing about dog haircuts. I showed her a picture of how I wanted my dog to look. They also said that they don't brush dogs teeth which is odd. Never been to a dog salon that doesn't brush the dogs teeth. We were originally told it would take 2 hours and it took almost 3 for my dog to be done. Upon picking up my dog, the lady behind the front desk told my sister and I that the groomer is new and only has under a YEAR of experience. Why wouldn't they tell me that prior to getting my dog groomed? I don't want a rookie to give my dog a botched haircut(which she did) but by this point it was too late. Also, when entering the store, it smells horrible like mildew. My dog came out, his hair choppy and the final result didn't look anything like the photo that I showed the lady( she took a picture of what I showed her so there shouldn't have been any confusion) The sweater I had him wearing was covered in fur, as if they cut his hair with the sweater on. I had to request my leash and collar back from them. Anyways, the people behind the front desk were sticking their faces in front of my dogs face so that he could lick them, letting them kiss their mouth which is honestly gross and not something I want to see. Overall, unhappy with how my dog turned out. Will not be returning.

He's a 13 pound shi tzu, with separation anxiety and a mom who (unfortunately) has to work all day, which means that he tends to cause all sorts of trouble when left to his own devices for too long. He's not a huge fan of hikes, or other dogs, so it's not easy to find a reliable dog walker who doesn't walk huge groups at a time or charge an arm and a leg. If Toby could type I'm sure this review would be about how excited he is to have a friend who shows up to go for a walk with him around the block in the middle of the day, rain or shine. For me, it's all about the peace of mind knowing that he's a WHOLE lot happier because he got to go for a walk.
