I would strongly recommend Wannagoout!

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.

Thank you Swinging Tails :)

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!

When you are crazy about your cat, like me and my wife definitely are, it is refreshing to know that someone like Heather is around. Our cat is on the needy side, and to come home after a long trip to see him happy and healthy is beyond comforting. You should book her without question. Ultimately with pet-sitters you are paying for peace of mind. You are paying to not worry. And you will never worry with this wonderful, incredible pet-sitter!

Kai and the Happy Paws team blew my expectations out of the water. The only reason I'm no longer…read morewith them is because I moved, otherwise I would still be using them. Kai was super thorough during sign ups. She came to my house for a 1 on 1 consultation (COVID safe of course) and talked to me about Tilley's needs and what she could offer. I ended up having Tilley walked 3x/week. I swear my little girl had an extra wiggle each time she came home from her pack walk. Matt was Tillz dog walker and I truly have nothing but great things to say about him. He is prompt, so nice, and Tilley absolutely loves him. He is the only person she will bolt downstairs for at the door (she's a little lazy, I usually need to give her a little tug). She came back happy, exercised, and exhausted. All the things I want my little fur-ball to feel after a nice long walk. Also, I had a training session with Bria and she is a lifesaver. She trained me how to train Tilley and I've never looked back; Till is like a different dog now. I will 100% be using her services for training in the near future. All in all, I highly recommend Happy Paws for all of your pups needs (I say pups because no matter the age, all dogs are pups). If you're in the area, the team certainly won't disappoint!

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!!

D'Tails is an adorable little pet boutique- this review is for the location on Berkeley street…read more My small senior mutt comes to D'Tails for daycare during the week between 2 and 8 times per month. Originally, I selected them because of their convenient (for me) location, but I've become loyal to them for many other reasons. Let's go with three: 1. Flexibility. Daycare hours are pretty extensive (check their website for the most up to date information) - right now they are 7am-7pm. I usually find that the store is staffed before 7am, even. I like the flexibility of being able to drop in as needed and pick her up whenever is convenient for me on any given day. The cost of daycare (and any other purchases I make (just go right to my card on file. Easy! 2. Communication. Every day that I send my pup to daycare, I get text updates about what she's been up to, whether or not her potty break was "productive," and something nice like "have a great day!" 3. Kindness. After only a few visits, the staff quickly remembered my dog's name and they always welcome her (and me!) when I drop her off. I know that my dog is not without her quirks, but I've never heard anything but praise and love for her from the staff at D'Tails, which is just so sweet. They're all true animal lovers there who treat pets with compassion and pet owners with kindness. They are also a business that is very clear about their inclusivity- specifically very LGBTQ friendly. You can't put a price tag on all of that, but theirs is very reasonable! Again, check the website for the most up to date information but right now Daycare is $21-$36/day depending on the length of your pup's stay. Downstairs in the daycare space, there seems to be a setup for every type of dog. Crates for pups who like a comfy den-style nap, soft beds for rests, chairs for pups who want a great view of the rest, and floor space for playing. I also know that the staff is more than willing to cuddle with or hold your dog if that's what pup wants... like mine often does! The only constructive thing I could offer is that it does look pretty dingy down there, but I mean... it's a play room for dogs and it serves its purpose well! There are also lots of treats and goodies and adorable sweaters in the shop upstairs. Can't go wrong! I know that they also offer walking and grooming but I've not used those services. It feels so good to have a group of people- from Dawn the owner to the wonderful staff like Rachel, Kendra, Christiana, Mary and more - who I can trust to care for my beloved little mutt!

I dropped him off first thing in the morning and he was ready within an hour which was perfect. I tried Dog Bulter in the past but after 4 hours they called me to say that my dog is being aggressive. That was news to me, but it turned out that they had 25 other dogs roaming around at the same time. That explained the behavior. They were nice but not suitable for my dog. So I'm happy that I can take my dog to D'tails where the grooming is done more on a one on one basis. I found it a little too pricy but my dog seemd to had a better experience so I'm ok with that.

Jack Russells are notorious little crazed beasts, with an intense amount of energy. Having PITV as our walker has done wonders for Max. Elizabeth is his walker and is absolutely beyond phenomenal. She cares for Max as well as (or possibly better!) than we do. He's weird around other dogs, but she has worked closely with him and created an environment when he walks with ELEVEN other dogs in his group, without a hitch. Elizabeth sends us amazing pictures of Max every single time she walks him, and is excellent at communicating with us regarding his behavior (good and bad!). Paws in the 'Ville provides an absolute reliable, friendly service. We were brand-new dog owners when we started with them and Seana did everything we needed to assist us and created a huge level of trust. When we needed to switch walkers after one left PITV, Max had some issues transitioning - barking like crazy when a different walker came to get him and refusing to go with them. Seana worked closely with us until she found Elizabeth to work with Max. We felt completely supported throughout. I can honestly say that PITV is absolutely the best bang for the buck. It's beyond worth every penny we spend to know that Max is in extremely capable hands. Great communication, great community, great owner, great walkers. I can't say enough good things about this company.
