A few different places were suggesting that we bring in our dog 2-3 times before he could stay with them. That seemed quite excessive. Jeff recommended once, which is all that was needed.

I found Bark Side of the Moon while planning my first trip away from home since 2020. Lil Ricky (my…read moresenior chihuahua) is a special flower, and 2 years of being home with his family made him (and I!) particularly nervous about being separated from his humans and his home. But Jeff at Bark Side made sure Ricky felt safe and cared for. I appreciate that, unlike some doggy daycares, Bark Side has a more mellow, chill vibe, which is perfect for my older, smaller dog. It was clear from pictures and reports that Ricky felt at ease while boarding with Jeff. We will definitely be using Bark Side again and recommend other pet parents check them out!

This review is long overdue. The only reason that we are no longer clients of North Shore is that…read morewe moved out of their service area. I sincerely wish that they could have followed us into the suburbs. As an avid traveller AND the cat-dad to a special needs feline, I was overjoyed to locate a trustworthy pet sitter who could accommodate difficult medical situations. When my cat developed three chronic conditions almost simultaneously, I thought that my vacationing days were over. Ultimately (and to this day) her treatment regimen grew to include seven medications--some given twice per day--a combination of pills, an oral liquid, and subcutaneous injections. Caring for her became routine but torpedoed our recreational possibilities. Enter Jean from North Shore Pet Sitters. She has experience with all of those types of medications and handled them like a champ. Before booking the first stint, we had an in-home consultation, at which Jean imbued complete confidence that we were leaving our darlings in good hands. Besides expertise, compassion and enthusiasm are her other strong suits. Jean always left a detailed log of the cats' activities which showed that she truly enjoyed being a caregiver. Booking was always easy and the prices were more than fair. A bargain, in fact. Expert, compassionate care of one's furry family members is practically priceless. I can't overstate enough what it meant to us to find a reliable cat sitter. Discovering NSPS and Jean relieved a lot of angst in my household. If you need someone just to show up, change the litter, fill the food and water bowls, and sprinkle some catnip around, I'm sure that North Shore can handle that. But if you have a high-maintenance cat, they will really shine, especially if Jean is your sitter. She is a treasure.

As long as we live in the area, we will use NSPS.

(we were lucky enough to get nearly a month of puppy leave.) It was hard finding someone we felt we could trust, but Jack and his crew came highly recommended from my best friend. And sure enough, as soon as I met Jack I knew he was the one for us. We work in social media so we have weird hours and our schedules change day to day. Jack is always flexible and incredibly accommodating. We literally couldn't raise Theo without him and his team. A BIG plus for us is that Jack and co. only take one dog out at a time, so I know that Theo is safe and getting one on one attention. I know "wag" is a thing, but I see those walkers with 4 dogs at a time and I shudder. What if one dog turns on the other? Also, we love that a quick text and picture is standard and included in the incredibly reasonable pricing. Spencer seems to be the walker who takes Theo out the most, and his pictures are always amazing. We cannot thank this crew enough for taking care of our little guy. It's such a relief knowing we have them in our lives.

There is always a text with pictures after every walk and a note with more details to come home to. We were on a five walks a week, two dogs per walk schedule so it was imperative to have solid communication, which we did. Our requests were answered promptly and cancelations were no problem. We are sad to be moving out of state and losing such a great partner. Bonus: When we've been locked out of the house, they come and let us in (for a small fee, better than a locksmith)!
