We truly can't thank Sandy and her team enough for the incredible training and genuine care they've…read moregiven our German Shepherd puppy. Sandy is so knowledgeable about dogs in general but seemed to particularly know how to train and manage the German Shepherd breed - which needs a very special kind of training. Our dog began working with Sandy at just three months old, and with her and her team's guidance, he learned to stop jumping and overcame his leash frustration during walks. After completing the three-week training program, he came home a more confident, well-behaved version of himself. We now feel comfortable taking him anywhere, and walking him has become an absolute joy. It has completely transformed our relationship with him and deepened our bond in a way that means the world to us. You can tell how much Sandy and her team truly care for the dogs--they treat them like their own, and it shines through in every interaction. We're so grateful to have found a place where we know our dog is not only safe but thriving. Sandy and her team feel like extended family, and we are forever thankful for their support.

Carol is the best cat sitter we have ever hired and we've had cats and hired sitters for 30 years…read more I can't say enough good things about her. Our two cats connected with her quickly because she is a real cat person, not just someone who wants occassional work and is willing to to cat sit. She was very communicative and sent us pictures and videos of the cats playing with toys she brought and left for the cats. If I need a cat sitter in Boston, I would never hire anyone else.

My dog loves Oceanview day care! He's been going there 2 days a week for about 3 years, and…read morewhenever I ask him if he wants to "go see his friends," he gets very excited. He loves the people there, too, as well as his dog friends. Before I can get him in the car and go home, he wants to give the caregivers a doggie hug. I'm also very comfortable having him stay there when I'm out of town because he has a great time with his friends, and he gets to play with dogs who are there on the days he doesn't usually go for daycare. The people who work there are very knowledgeable about dogs, and they evaluate the dogs before placing them in the appropriate play groups. I highly recommend Oceanview if you want your dog to have a fun, safe, supervised play space for when you're at work or out of town.

From start to finish--these guys were fantastic…read more I used an offer these guys had on Yelp, and had trouble inputting the code so I ended up not paying them up front (whoops! sorry guys) Ken reached out to me with specific instructions but also offered that I could pay once I meet the sitter, Molly. Molly worked according to my schedule and came by without a hassle on Sunday before our trip. She was VERY pleasant, and even Steven (our ever shy kitten) even came out from under the bed for a brief hello. Molly had a notebook and specific questions as I showed her where steven's food and litter were kept. I think most pet owners who hire a sitter tend to be fussy. I ended up texting Molly more specific instructions and requests leading up to the trip--all of which she handled without question or complaint. She also had to deal with getting concierge to open our apartment door every time she came by. Steven was fed and had someone to play with in the comfort of our apartment. We got notes and pictures of the furball every day that we were gone. We came back to a clean food bowl and clean litterbox. I am beyond satisfied with Pet Watch Boston.

After growing up on a horse farm and attending undergrad in my home state, I moved to Boston from Kansas (Rock Chalk Jayhawk) for graduate school. I decided I was ready for a kitten, and so now I have a semi-crazy 9 month old cat that doesn't really know her limits. I went on Thanksgiving break to visit the family, and decided to check out Pet Watch Boston because it had the best reviews. And now I know why. Ken is awesome. He came and met Stevie and checked out my apartment for no charge before break. I have a weird key situation and he was really easy going about that and we figured out a way for it to all work out with no worries. He sent me detailed reports of Stevie's life every day (even on Thanksgiving). I am really, really impressed with his professional and also casual attitude, and I know that he actually cares about his clients, and spends time with each critter individually. 10/10 would recommend, will have Ken cat sit Stevie again.

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!

I was away for a week recently and Rich came and sat with my dogs. He treated them and my apartment with great care. He even indulged my neurosis by calling me while I was away to let me know my boys were fine. I'm sorry if the poster's "friend" had a bad experience, but I have to agree with Zach, its a little suspicious, I'm wondering if maybe its not just a shameless plug (pug?) for another service. I've never once had an issue with GL. Love them. Highly recommend them to everyone.

The manager at the Petco in Revere, MA (Zach) gave me one of the most unprofessional and…read moreinappropriate experiences I've ever had at any store. I came in with unopened items, valid receipts, and within the return window. Instead of assisting me, Zach told me he "could not do the return," said he "sees me frequently in the store," and even accused me of making "suspicious purchases" and "suspicious returns." I have a dog with serious medical issues and severe anxiety, so yes -- I've made two returns in the last three months. That is not illegal, not against Petco policy, and not grounds to treat a customer like a problem. His comments were completely out of line and carried an accusatory tone that made me uncomfortable enough that I had to bring someone with me. He then: Gave false information about my account being blocked Refused to use the transaction lookup Told me to "call corporate" for a cash return Walked away from me and refused to speak further, even while I stood inside the store on the phone with corporate and they were requesting to speak with him. Blocked a return that Petco Saugus processed instantly with zero issues Because he refused to do his job, I ended up with: An Uber to Revere and back for absolutely nothing. Another Uber to Saugus and back, which never would've been necessary if he had done his job. Hours on the phone with corporate and other stores. Time off work Stress, frustration, and uncertainty about even shopping at this store again For clarity: Emani and Jose at the Revere location were kind, professional, and actually tried to help. The problem is entirely the manager. If you want to feel respected or get basic help, skip the Revere Petco and go straight to Petco Saugus -- they fixed everything in minutes.

While my first visit was pleasant and I…read morewas satisfied with the service, each subsequent visit has been increasingly disappointing.this was my 4th visit Each time we visit, we are met with a new groomer, making it difficult for my dog to feel comfortable or build trust. On one occasion, I paid ($140 )for a spring special that was supposed to include a nail trim and teeth brushing, but neither service was completed. Most recently, I received a call during her appointment stating that she was being "challenging" and that they were unable to fully groom her. When I arrived, she was only partially shaved. When I expressed my dissatisfaction, the staff showed no empathy or apology. Additionally, the person who initially took my dog to the back seemed disengaged and made no effort to introduce herself to my dog, which immediately concerned me. Paying $80 and not getting what asked . Definitely not returning such a shame as this Petco is just around the corner from where I live .
