A few months ago we took our rescue pup on a walk with our friend and his rescue. Our dog wasn't to…read morebe trusted off leash and when we let him run around as a test, he ran off and almost went into the road. After watching our friend communicate with his dog using an e-collar, we decided to sign up for off-leash e-collar training with the Good Hound. We worked with Shannon and Siobhan and now feel fully prepared, confident and so, so proud of our pup who we can let off the leash at any time. The Good Hound was the best investment we could have made with our dog for many reasons: 1) They take the dogs out for hikes - giving them a bunch of exercise during the work day and a lot of opportunities to socialize with other dogs. 2) They spend time 1:1 with your dog to get a solid grasp of what they are capable of. In our case, they learned he was not a "working dog"; in other words, he tends to be very lazy and extremely stubborn. 3) They work with you, on what YOU need to practice with the e-collar and on communication with your dog. 4) The trainers LITERALLY go the extra mile. Shannon was so patient and sincere with us; even when we were discouraged by the lack of progress. He even asked if he could take our dog for another trek to further assess his response to recall, and came back with more insight, techniques for us, and a thorough follow-up plan.

Now he is so excited when they arrive to take him on his trail walk. Year round, he gets to hike in fun parks with his "friends" and his beloved Good Hound team members. They respond quickly to questions, often share photos of the walk that are really cute, and also, their staff members have boarded our dog in their homes when we travel- for us, a much better option than sending him to a kennel.

I've told her she's so organized she should be the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, but I'm sure glad she does this instead. She taught me how to safely use a proper prong collar so I can walk my leash reactive dog without getting pulled over. My dogs love Josh, their incredibly reliable walker. Josh boards them as well, and it's great to leave them with someone they know. Pictured is Zoe, cheating on me with Josh when I was in NYC.

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/

I'm so excited to be the first one to review Walkin' N Waggin'…read more I was introduced to Garrett through my brother and sister-in-law, who use him as a dog-walker over in Newton. I was in a crunch and needed someone to look after my cats. As we all know, our pets are like our children, and I couldn't have just anyone take on this important responsibility. But, since Garrett came highly recommended from a reliable source, I hired him sight-unseen and have been absolutely thrilled with the results. I can't speak personally for Garrett's dog skills, though I know that my dog-niece Emmy adores him, and she's a timid girl. For cats, there are a few important things that I wanted in particular with a pet-sitter. I wanted someone who would not only feed them and change the litter box, but also woud would pet them and play with them for a while. I wanted someone who would take pictures and send them to me every day to show me that all was well. I wanted someone who was at my beck and call, in case I was worried or suddenly needed someone to go over in case I needed to stay an extra day. I wanted someone who loved animals and someone who was loved by animals. Finally, I wanted someone I could trust to enter my home and keep watch while I was away. Garrett does all of these things. He never failed to text me back almost immediately when I reached out to him. He went so far as to schedule his trips to my house at a time when, if necessary, he could bring a kitty to the vet. He took pictures and sent them to me of the kitties happy and chasing their laser. On top of all of this, he brought in my mail, watered my house plants, and kept an eye on things. Garrett is a pleasure to work with, affordable and trustworthy. He is a gem and I'm so glad to have found him. I'd recommend him for any pet job.

When we adopted Noah in August 2012, we were told he was pretty shy. This turned out to be a bit of…read morean understatement. Although he is a sweet, loving, and gentle dog, Noah can be quite fearful of people, other dogs, and loud noises. He was, and still is, a work in progress. My husband and I both work during the day, so we needed a dog walker we could trust and who could handle our specific situation. When we met Garrett, we knew right away he was the one. Not only was he highly accommodating and professional, but he also showed clear understanding and appreciation for Noah's special needs. When we added Molly to our family a year later, he welcomed her eagerly and seamlessly. Garrett is the perfect combination of professionalism, reliability, and kindness. Whether for walks, daycare, or overnight boarding, he is always there when we need him. And from the notes he leaves and the photos he sends, it is clear he is genuinely committed to providing an active, healthy, and loving experience for his entire "pawsie!"
