After having issues with the local doggy daycares not…read moretreating the animals right and keeping them locked in a small room to play, I was skeptical of having someone come into my home even and having them take Maia for walks. Being a professional with a crazy schedule, I can hardly make it home at lunch to take my princess outside. She likes to be at home and is comfortable there (doggy daycares make her nervous and she ended up losing 2lbs in a week- she's a 6lb Chorkie). Amanda came by the house and met with me and right away I could see that Maia was in love with her. She started the next day and since has done nothing but prove me wrong in that there REALLY ARE people out there who treat animals like their own. She takes Maia for walks and sends me updates and pictures of her. She also gets to meet new dogs, which I love! :) I come home and Maia is exhausted yet satisfied. I can see it in her eyes that she's telling me "mom, i had a good day". I'll use Amanda forever. I feel secure in that my home is in good hands, and so is my princess. Trust me, you won't find anyone to do what Amanda does and at such a good price, but I have to say... you CANNOT put a price on your pet's happiness! :D

I contacted her through the site and she contacted me within a couple hours. We met and she was such a nice kind person. My dog is a rescue with some behavior problems (like humping her) and she was really great with him! Because I can't afford a dog walker each day, she was really open and was willing to just come however many days I asked for the following week. It made Cooper's transition to home life so much better. She is really the perfect person to be walking a dog and really observes how your dog is acting. She'll text 'Cooper was shaking his neck a lot-i think his ears are bothering him. You may want to take a look tonight!'. One of our dogs even had an accident, and she let us know AND cleaned it up! I even (only once!) asked her to walk the dog with only a few hour's notice after I had woken up late and didn't think he got enough of a walk before I had to get to work-and she was so there for me. We have another dog as well who is 10 so she doesn't need a walk. Amanda lets her outside in our yard before leaving so she can have a pee break too (even though she doesn't need it). I'm so glad that my family found her-she's a HUGE help to us!

Exceptional care for our high-maintenance big baby! We…read morerecently used Pawsitive Dawg Walking and Pet Sitting for a week to care for Saint, our needy 9-year-old Giant Schnauzer. We left him with my elderly parents, who loved the company but couldn't walk a dog of his size. As first-time users (of anyone walking our guy before), we were nervous, but Pawsitive stepped in perfectly. Several major green flags stood out: * The Meet-and-Greet: Angela, the owner, came to the house to meet Saint and learn his unique personality, which immediately eased my anxiety. * The Time to Pet App: It allowed our whole family to easily communicate scheduling and details like Saint's sensitive tummy. * Caring Communication: The detailed walk summaries showed they truly understood our emotional boy. Every one of those walk summaries made me smile & chuckle too! * Real Animal Lovers: It is clear the team does this job out of genuine love for animals. Thanks to Pawsitive, I could relax and enjoy my vacation knowing Saint was in the best possible hands. They are the real deal! We highly recommend Angela and her team for trustworthy, loving pet care in the Waltham area and beyond.

I didn't know cat sitting could be this good…read more My cats usually hate when I travel. With my old cat-sitting agency, they were always fine but VERY grateful for me to be home. With Michelle, they're obviously glad to see me when I come back, but they've clearly had an awesome weekend! I imagine my cats saying to me: "Oh hey, did you leave? Nice to see you, I guess." They're definitely contented and happy while I'm away, which utterly warms my heart. Michelle loves my cats and isn't too shy to say it! I adore the pictures she sends me and she clearly spends a while playing with them during every visit. She's even sent me pictures where she was clearly on the floor in order to stick a hand in their favorite tunnel, so it's active, engaged play time! She honestly goes above & beyond in taking care of them. Even the house is cleaner (she tidies up the kitchen...she's put away dishes I left in the rack & cleaned the counters)! I would never expect this but I really appreciate it -- such a nice treat to return to after a trip. Speaking of treats, about ~50% of the time I come home to new toy(s) that she's given the cats, which they relish. My cats & I all love Michelle. I can't recommend her enough!

I will be calling Michelle from now on when we are away!! Michelle went above and beyond what we expected. She came once a day, fed them, filled their water, cleaned their litter. She also brought new toys for them and played with them. She sent pictures to us via email every day after her visits, with updates which I really appreciated since I was missing my babies and nervous about leaving them for so long. We came Home to find our apartment in cleaner and nicer conditions than we left it. She had tidied up! Our cats were super lovey, which I think was due to Michelle's great energy. We call her Auntie Michelle now, and I know my boys are already looking forward to when we leave again so that Auntie can come play with them! I Highly recommend Michelle for your pets. Professional, kind, fun and a great communicator. Thanks Michelle! Love, Nicole, Mark, GG and Scoobs.

We started sending our puppy to playgroup with them when she was very small and have been working with them for over a year now. Our dog loves their team so much and was always incredibly happy to see them. They all have a magic touch with dogs; they are incredibly talented at getting them to listen and always shower them with attention. We trust them when we are unavailable to take excellent care of our dog. They've also done an incredible job during the pandemic, and they have all taken great care to be safe and wear masks, etc. We are moving, and, honestly, our dog Octavia is possibly going to miss this team most of all!

She has consistently gone above and beyond, and is amazingly responsive in working with us on our training goals and maintaining consistency with our training regimen for the puppy. We look forward to getting the pictures of our pup from each walk, and she keeps us updated on everything. She is also very flexible with scheduling, which helps immensely with our meeting-filled schedules. Quadrupeds has helped us keep our sanity while working full time and raising a puppy. Having seen the dogwalkers from competing services around the neighborhood, we are super thankful that we went with Quadrupeds. We know our puppy is getting the highest standard of care. We really can't recommend Quadrupeds enough. If you're looking for pet care, go with Quadrupeds.

And Pearl is comfortable and enjoys a lot of out-of-cage time during her stay. Pearl always comes happy.

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.
