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.

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!

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!

Most of all I appreciate how reliable they have been, especially during Holidays. I highly recommend them for cat sitting.

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!!

We recently moved to a 1BR…read morein Roslindale, and it's the first time that my dog Toby (aka, my monster) doesn't have a kitty or doggie roommate. 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.

If you're a DINKWAD (double income, no kids, and a dog) millennial, crazy dog parent like I am,…read morethis is the only review you need to read. As an overly protective (psychotic) dog parent, I really did a lot of homework before enrolling our (at the time) 5 month old Bernedoodle Cooper in day school. I read a lot of positive reviews and few that were concerning to me. I requested a call with one of the owners to give them a chance to speak to the negative reviews before I made a decision. Hannalore answered all of my questions (primarily regarding "disliking doodles" and use of tools) and I felt very comfortable with her responses. Following that conversation we enrolled Cooper in day school and immediately saw improvement in his attention span, ability to understand commands, and leash manners. The staff was always super friendly, sent report cards with photos and videos, and always offered me advice and info on what he worked on. I was (and still am) over the moon with how much my little guy enjoys his time there. To be fully transparent, like any good relationship, we did hit a snag. A tool was used on Cooper that I did not consent to and like the Papa Bear I am, I was furious. I requested to speak with the owner who used the tool (Corey), and I expressed my displeasure. Now, I'm not an experienced dog trainer, so I don't think I know more than these amazing professionals, I do however believe in consent. When I spoke with Corey, I told him that a tool should never be used on a dog without consent from the owner and if Cooper was to come back, I would need to see a change in their policy to ensure that consent would ALWAYS be given before a tool was used. Corey completely understood and (as a small business) was open to suggestions for improvement - no excuses, no backpedaling, and full accountability. With that response, and the implementation of consent for tools, I was completely satisfied sending Cooper back to day school. It's now been over a month since that snag and I can confidently say I am beyond thrilled with how this was handled and the care and training my Coop is receiving at BFTD. Mistakes happen, but the fact that this amazing place was honest and open to a change in their policies is something that really sets BFTD apart from other places. I can 100% say if you're crazy like me, stop your search - you've found the place for your pup. All of the staff are amazing, but I would like to give a special shout-out to Becka and Thaloa who go above and beyond the call of duty and send me videos and VERY detailed report cards so I can continue the work at home. I can officially say my 7 month old pup is better behaved, knows more commands, and has better social skills than most dogs twice his age. I'm writing this review because finding a place to trust with your fur baby is scary, and you never know what you're going to get. But BFTD has done an amazing job with Cooper and I hope my experiences make you feel comfortable with them being a part of your fur baby's life too!
