In fact, they recently celebrated the company's 10-year anniversary! Their app is easy to use, and you can always look forward to receiving well-written updates after each walk. They are excellent at keeping you informed, and they provide peace of mind; this is exactly what I needed since my dog, Bear, is still young and skittish about the world. During each walk, they know how to accommodate her and encourage her to be brave. If you are a pet parent seeking assistance, reach out to Dog Tired Adventures ASAP.

Fetch Pet Care has been walking my dogs for over 10 years…read more I've had many walkers with Fetch and most recently Karyl who has taken care of our boy Rocco for many years. She is the best! Caring, thoughtful, kind and very reliable. Everything we could want in a dog walker!!

Beth and Audrey are so good about texting me updates and pictures of kitty when I'm gone that I have peace of mind that she is happy and healthy. I'm so lucky to have Big Paw Pet Care, it's obvious Beth and Audrey care about what they do and I will not hesitate to use them again.

I could not be happier with Big Paw!…read more Over the years we have left our dogs with various different sitters and services, but none as good as Big Paw. We recently went away for 20 days and felt very apprehensive about leaving our two little Bijon/Havanese mixes at someones house for that long. After meeting Beth and visiting her home we felt much more at ease. Beth and her husband are extremely friendly and their home is clean and spacious with a nice backyard for the dogs to play in. They watch all types of dogs - big and small. Our boys slept in their bed, played with their baby and fit in like part of the family. She kept them bathed and clean despite the fact that they were lucky enough to be outdoors every day. She administered allergy meds and took great care of them. We LOVED that she sent us emails or texts every day (yes, every day) while we were gone with updates on how our boys were doing. It was so nice to get pictures of them with huge smiles on their faces and see how clean and well treated they were. She loved them like they were her own and to top it all off, her price was significantly better than others. I can not speak more highly of Beth and Big Paw. Their website is very nice and allows for you to create a profile for your pets with a section to list information like vet, medical, emergency contact, breed type, etc. I look at my dogs like they are my children, and I would not steer you wrong, you will be more than happy with Big Paw! THANK YOU BETH!!!!! Our boys miss you!

We had never used an "official" house or pet sitter before and when some pretty last minute…read moreThanksgiving week plans started to come to fruition, my first instinct was to call our vet where we typically board our dogs but of course they were booked up (months in advance). I frantically started looking into some other options but as luck would have it, I remembered that my favorite masseuse, Wendy Goldstein, also did house and animal care. I called Wendy immediately and told her the dates we needed, what we needed and serendipitously, she was available for the entire time frame. Wendy made arrangements to come to the house a week before our departure with a contract that laid out everything needed to make our time away as stress free and helpful. We showed her around the house/how things worked (her contract even asked for info on where the water/gas shut off is located, etc.) and introduced her to the dogs. As many of you who have read my reviews in the past know, we have 2 dogs(both rescues) and one of which who has been a tri-pawed for almost 2 years now. Beckett who just turned 9 and who Kevin has had for the past 8 years has always had back and neck issues, but with the running around with only 1 back leg he has started to develop some sciatica issues and had been on an anti-inflammatory and a pain medicine. When we told Wendy about Beckett's back, she felt his spine and said, "she would work on him while we were gone as a spine is a spine". I know Wendy has been instrumental when I have had sciatic flare ups, so I told her to work her magic. We were gone for almost an entire week. I spoke to Wendy only twice during our time away. She let us know Beckett was again jumping on the couch on his own, that she hadn't had to give him any pain medicine and that all in all he seemed to be walking and doing better (I had a feeling she would be magical for him). Holly our 4 1/2 year old(we have had her for 2 1/2 years now) is a little more difficult with new people and Wendy did report it took her a couple of days of us being gone until she was willing to sleep in the bed (she chose to sleep in a dog bed in Kevin's office) instead until she was comfortable. Our mail was taken in, the plants were watered, the sheets and towels were laundered and the bed was remade with the fresh sheets upon our return. The house was as clean as we left it-the dogs were not traumatized like they often are after boarding and neither picked up any new bad habits (like a deeper bark or barking incessantly which happened during their last time boarding the beginning of November). Let me just say that aside from the cost savings of having a dog/house sitter vs. boarding 2 dogs is enormous. To add to this our vet charges an extra $4-5 per day if a medication needs to be administered to a pet while boarding (even if they prescribed it), AND the vet charges a "premium" during peek holiday times. On top of all of this, having what is now considered a Senior Dog who has some physical limitations and a house that needs more tending to than our last house, having someone like Wendy in our lives makes it virtually a no-brainer if/when we have more trips when we can't take the dogs with us. Her prices are more than reasonable, her care of our home and animals was(is) immeasurable. She is also the best masseuse I have ever been to if you are not in the market for a house/animal sitter.

Each day we were given a summary of the visit and photos of our happy kitties, provided by the sitters. They even visited our outside turtle just to keep him company and they fed our outside stray at no extra cost. There is an app that keeps you fully informed about what your pet is up to in your absence. Great service. Great caretakers and we will use them next time we need loving sitters for our cats.

Thank you Margaret for the recent dog-sitting and walking!…read more Margaret did a great job stopping by our house twice per day to visit our dog Tinky.

I can't say enough good things about Pupwalk! After interviewing several dog walkers, I was…read morehonestly starting to feel a little discouraged trying to find the right fit for Hermes. From the very beginning, though, Pupwalk stood out--and I am so incredibly grateful that I found them. They are not only professional and reliable, but truly kind and caring people who clearly love what they do. Hermes absolutely adores his daily walks, and I can tell he feels comfortable, happy, and safe with them. As a dog owner, that peace of mind is everything. Knowing that someone treats your dog like their own is priceless. They're always punctual, communicative, and attentive to Hermes's needs. It's clear they pay attention to details and genuinely care about his well-being, not just "getting the job done." I've noticed such a positive difference in his routine and energy, and it makes me so happy to see how excited he is for his walks. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and truly compassionate to take care of your dog, I highly recommend Pupwalk. Finding them was such a relief, and I couldn't imagine a better team to trust with Hermes!

I can tell Murphy is very loved on by how happy he looks in all the photos they send me of him!!!
