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!

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!

Highly recommend Terri at City Paws Cat Sitting!…read more We've been using Terri regularly for the past year whenever we travel, and she has been absolutely wonderful. She is reliable, prompt, organized, and truly loves cats. One of my favorite things is that she sends daily updates and photos, which gives us so much peace of mind while we're away. It's clear that she genuinely cares about the cats she looks after and treats them like her own. Knowing our cats are happy, safe, and well cared for makes traveling so much less stressful. If you're looking for a trustworthy and attentive cat sitter, I highly recommend Terri and City Paws Cat Sitting!

I cannot recommend Terri highly enough. From the very first meeting, it was clear that she has a…read moredeep compassion for animals, especially those with unique needs. My cat was extremely anxious around new people, but Terri approached her with such patience and understanding that, over time, they became genuine friends -- something I never thought possible. She has an incredible intuition when it comes to animals, knowing when to give space and when to offer gentle comfort. I always felt completely at ease leaving my cat in her care, knowing she was not only safe but truly cared for. What I never expected was the emotional support Terri would provide when my cat's health declined. She was there during the most difficult moments -- calm, loving, and present -- offering both my cat and me comfort and dignity as we said goodbye. I will always be grateful for her steady presence and empathy during that time. If you're looking for someone who doesn't just "watch" pets but truly connects with them and treats them like her own, Terri is that person. She's more than a sitter -- she's become part of our little family.

After considering many different dog walking companies, we decided on Doggie Trail. The price is…read morehard to beat, only $15 for a 30 minute walk and a great sense of relief that our highly energetic pup will make it through the work day. Kate came over to meet our dog, Rose, before starting their walk routine. The first day that she was going to take Rose out, Rose panicked and would not leave her cage. Kate called and told us what was going on and offered to come by later that day when we were home with Rose to reintroduce herself. Since then, Rose hasn't had any problem and absolutely adores her daily walks. Kate is wonderful, she leaves a note everyday with a summary of their walk. She often sends photos and updates from the walks. She doesn't mind any change of schedule and is fine with late cancellations. She is also great for different collar/walk training advice. I am so happy we chose doggie trail, I would recommend it to anyone.

We miss them every day since moving. my experience with mindful mutt is that they do not actually care about the dogs - they seem lazy and did not want to watch dogs. simply wanted to throw them in a room together. well, being that my dog is very playful they did not appreciate that and told me he is not allowed to com back. I reached out to my old daycare to explain and they let me know the mindful mutt recently switched hands. seems it is going more corporate day care route - hiring inexperienced staff who don't care much about dogs at all. sad , would not recommend

I just moved to Brighton and needed a reliable pet sitter while at an event. A friend of mine let…read moreme know about Boston dog sitting and I connected with Jennifer. I let Jennifer know about the my dog's specific routines, as well that she is diabetic. When I returned a couple of hours later, I found that my instructions regarding her meals were directly disregarded. Not only was there mess of fecal matter left at the back of our home, but I found that Penny had another full bowl of kibble despite her eating prior to me leaving her. Penny's health conditions make it so that she shouldn't have no more than a full bowl of kibble a day. If she does she risks exacerbating her health conditions. Jennifer was extremely careless in her care taking and for that I will no longer be a customer.

Nancy and Shane are the absolute best, we recommend them without a doubt…read more Our cats have actually become friendlier and more relaxed since they have started taking care of them whenever we are away. In addition they take great care of our plants, have helped us receive packages and even send us daily reports per visit with multiple photos.

She is incredibly reliable (before she arrived, I had horrible experiences with other reputable cat sitters) and the cats like her - not an easy feat for all three of my cats. I highly recommend her as a sitter - and wish she would move to Florida as well!

I got daily picture and video reports, and Shari kept me informed of Bea's eating (which was a concern for me). She even brought over a sample of dry food for my picky cat baby to try and she's eating it! Shari visited at the same time each day which kept Bea in her routine, which I really appreciate. Working with Shari included a meet and greet with Bea before I left, and she was very responsible and flexible with figuring out logistics with visits, keys, etc. 10/10 would recommend if you're looking for a cat sitter in the Fenway/Back Bay/South End area.
