When we were bringing our pet here it was fine but ever since a few people last year have left it has gone downhill. I've even been here when the owner was here and the facility was still being neglected. Not only that but after speaking with employees and seeing some of the reviews online it seems that the owner will try to get peoples claims basically denied as if they're untrue. there is one post here that says a persons dog was denied because of their breed the owner straight up lied I've seen you guys take boxers without any problem. I also noticed no water bowl the last too times and i wont have that.

Ian and staff are very thoughtful and have the best interest of the dogs in their care at heart…read more Great communication through the app and over email. The staff always sent one update through the app each time my dog stayed with them. This is a great daycare for dogs who love to play with other dogs. It's a pretty stimulating environment for dogs, and Ian acknowledged that. My dog did daycare there and boarded with them for a few nights. I would describe my lil dude as pretty human oriented, has separation anxiety, and fancies himself to be an escape artist. The staff always made sure to give him some special attention and managed him in a way that prevented him from jumping barriers during pick up. Honestly, he can sometimes be a PITA and wants all the human attention. I think that can be pretty disruptive at a dog day care (sorry Ian and staff!) Regardless, I was most impressed with Diamond (I think that's her name) is super professional and compassionate. She warmly greeted my dog (and I!) every time we came in when she was working and seemed to figure out the quirks of my pup. TL;DR- BDW is a thoughtful, safe dog daycare. Keep in mind not all dogs might love a dog day care environment. However, give Big Dog Walkin' a try, especially if your dog loves playing with other pups. I would try their dog walking services in the future!

Joel and the team at Paws to Consider are awesome (or should I say paw-some)! I personally have…read moreonly met and spoke with Joel - the owner - and the service and communication has been nothing short of exceptional! I love that Paws does free meet and greet consultations to get to know your dog prior to just scheduling a walk (like Wag or Rover). Our adopted pup Rosie needs an experienced walker with the patience and care that Joel was able to provide, completely understanding as she is settling in and also getting leash-trained. We had a terrible dog-walking app experience because the walker was not a professional but just a college student who wants to make money while also getting the chance to pet a dog (despite us noting our needs). Long story short our girl got out of her harness AND collar as the walker was not able to properly approach the situation. Joel made the effort to acquaint himself with my pup and every time he walks her, he sends multiple photos and detailed accounts of the walk - including any good, bad, or odd behavior your dog may have exhibited/engaged in. Huge for learning how your pup may be developing - especially without you there - and if there's anything you can address sooner. Great visibility, easy to schedule service, candid and open communication, & one happy pup. Definitely recommend Paws to Consider's services for your furry friend.

Wow, I cannot say enough great things about Eddy. It was my first time boarding my high energy…read moreGerman shepherd Koda, and I am so beyond grateful I found Eddy to take care of him!! I told him as many updates as he could give me would be appreciated, and he delivered! I got frequent updates on how Koda was doing, how he was eating and getting along with others, and SO many pictures and videos!!! It took so much stress off my shoulders seeing that my boy was having so much fun and being taken care of so wonderfully. He had a BLAST! Instead of boarding him it felt more like a mini vacation for him! I have recommended Eddy to all my friends and if you're reading this debating using his services...DO IT!!! You will not regret it, Eddy was such a pleasure to work with and you can really tell how much he loves dogs and treats them as his own. Thank you again so much Eddy for being so communicative, responsible, and loving to Koda!

Even when they think I'm not home, I can hear the enthusiastic greetings they show my two Boxers when they pick them up for walks or playdates. Eddy has established a wonderful program of services, but more importantly, he invests his efforts in each unique client. He has frequently adjusted schedules and services to accommodate my or my pets needs and has even helped me beyond the stated services. His crew has a wonderful and upbeat attitude about their jobs and their obligations and it shows in my dogs reactions to them. So far the girls have had walks, playdates in parks and in my yard and even at Eddy's home, as well as an extended boarding period with him. I have tried other providers and this is by far the best. I intend to use Paw Paw Paw for as long as possible.

Miguel and his team at Highland Hounds are extraordinary. We have used countless dog walkers, dog…read moretrainers and doggie day care facilities since adopting our dog Reggie 3 years ago, and Miguel is head and shoulders above the rest. I trust him completely with my sweet Reggie, and I am regularly awed by how he goes above and beyond for our family. First, a bit about Reggie: he is a great dog, a hound rescue who is perfect with our almost-2 year old but loves his family entirely too much. His protective instincts have given rise to aggression more than a few times, and I am reticent to trust him in certain (many) situations. Miguel handles Reggie's... let's politely call it "complex emotions"... absolutely beautifully. Even in the beginning when Reggie was still having a little "stranger danger," Miguel showed no fear and quickly earned Reggie's trust. I first met Miguel when we still lived in Fort Hill. My previous dog walker moved on to other pursuits when my son was born, and when I was preparing to return to work, I contacted Miguel. He handled Reggie beautifully, and I couldn't have been more thrilled with the onboarding process. I loved that PetCheck would give me updates as to when Reggie was picked up and dropped off, and that I could see photos of their adventures. Reggie is always tuckered out, especially after a full "doggie day," which we now do on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Miguel displayed his penchant for going above and beyond the call of duty from the very beginning. One week after I returned to work and Miguel had started working with Reggie, my father suddenly passed away. I immediately called Miguel and left a desperate message asking him to take Reggie that night, and indefinitely, so that we could go sort things out at my family home in PA. Miguel barely knew us, and yet within the hour he was at our door, ready to lift the burden. I can never express in words how grateful I am for that incredible kindness during my darkest hour. Since we moved from Fort Hill to Arlington, Miguel has gone out of his way to work with us so that Reggie can remain a part of the pack. I have observed Reggie in the pack and at Miguel's home multiple times, and I am a little embarrassed to say that he behaves far better in Miguel's care than he does in mine. I trust Miguel completely, and I can't imagine leaving my furbaby with anyone else. He's also saved my bacon more times than I can count, including when I had a dead car battery and he drove me, Reggie, and my infant son to the location of the car and waited with us until AAA arrived. On another occasion when my dopey husband took all the car keys to work and left baby, dog and I stranded at home, Miguel picked the keys up from my husband and delivered them to me at my house where he also picked up Reggie. We are Miguel's client and, I hope, his friend; but I have a sneaking suspicion that he would and does do these good deeds for just about anybody. There are no words to express how strongly I recommend Highland Hounds (but hopefully these words have made a dent). Finding someone you can trust with your fur-family is no small task, and I am so grateful to have found Miguel, Seth, Raheem, Emma and the rest of the team.

We have recommended Highland Hounds to many friends and continue to be so utterly grateful for the love they show our pup. We receive daily photos and updates and we love that Miguel and Emma take our pup on frequent mountain hikes and nature adventures. They routinely go above and beyond - and in my opinion, this level of care combined with the interesting places they go is what makes them so special. This is not your average walk-around-the-neighborhood type of service and I am convinced that our dog has seen more of the Boston area than we have. Perhaps most importantly, she is very tired after her daily adventures - and as all dog owners know, a tired dog is a good dog :)

If I tried to document all of the ways in which A Dog's Life Boston has been a tremendous service…read moreto myself and my pet, it would be an epic fail on my part. Kelly has gone above and beyond what I expected from a dogwalker. She's always on time, reliable, and friendly. My dog greets her with enthusiasm and excitement that he normally reserves for myself and close friends. He couldn't be happier and it shows when he gets home and falls asleep after letting out a big, content sigh, as if to say "today was a good day." If you're debating between dogwalkers and unsure who you can trust, all you have to do is look at Kelly's blog and ask yourself if you'll be able to find anyone who cares more about dogs (and lets it show)? http://penziblog.com/
