She has always been really flexible with scheduling (last-minute work from home days or a soon-to-be much more variable schedule). She always makes sure to let me know well in advance if there are days she won't be available so that I can make other accommodations. She also just goes the extra mile to let me know if there is anything "off" with my dog (or even with my apartment). She even bought a bag of my dog's favorite treats just because she happened to be at a store where they had them for a good price! I could not ask for a better care-taker for my pooch. I highly recommend Linda for any pet care.

Boarding is the best, and day is Fantastic....Otis comes home nice and tired. A tired dog is a happy dog! We have also done Basic Training all the way to Advanced Training and I have a different dog who is well behaved and a good boy!!! Thank you Ana and Gary for making Otis feel at home every week!

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.

Angela and her staff have been caring for my cats for about nine years now…read more I first got in touch with her when my cat, Gigi, developed kidney disease and needed subcutaneous fluids on a regular basis. As a former vet tech, Angela was perfectly suited for the task of pet-sitting my little girl and making sure she got her fluids. After Gigi passed away, we adopted two kittens through Angela's cat rescue. Six years later, Maggie and Lola are doing great, and Angela and her staff are still caring for them when we travel. I would never even consider anyone else - they're pretty high-maintenance in some ways (spoiled rotten!), but we know they're being cared for when we're not there. I don't know what we'd do without her. Obviously, we have not been able to travel recently, but are hoping to do so later this year. I've kept in touch with Angela, and I know she's been an absolute Godsend to a lot of animals during this time, using her love and knowledge to place dozens of cats and kittens, as well as continuing to offer dog walking and pet sitting services.

I knew she was the dog walker for me when we met for the first time she dropped to her knees and loved on my dogs. I have had Angela, Ashley, Paul or Mark, in my house, walking my dogs and foster dogs at least 3 times a week sometimes more depending on how many fosters I have. Every time, I get a note about how the walk went which includes who my dogs hung with that day, any irregularities they may have noticed and of course the pee/poop report. I've also had some of my dogs have attend her day care program. When I have to travel I can leave my dogs with Angela confident in the knowledge that they will be well cared for in my absence. We've experienced all the highs and lows of dog ownership together over the years and there certainly have been times when Leach Love went above and beyond to help me care for my dogs such as bringing Gypsy to the vet and meeting me there (if they hadn't then it would have been at least 1.5 hours before I could have gotten home from work then getting her to the vet). Critical time was saved. Or the time Angela because of her medical experience, helped me navigate a medical issue with Ringo. I highly recommend Angela and her team at Leash Love because they care for my pets the way I do, with love, care, compassion and leadership.

I called last week because my cats nose was bleeding. I haven't taken my cats to them for years (I don't take them to any vet, but when I use a vet, I go there). Unfortunately, they couldn't fit me in because one of the vets was on vacation and the others were booked solid; it was also a Friday. They suggested a few places and encouraged me to take the cat to be seen immediately. I took her to Urgent care (that's another story). Today is Monday, around 6pm, I actually just got a call from Malden Animal Hospital's Jill, asking me how Peanut is doing!! I was floored!! Not only did she remember I called, butter checked up on my Peanut too make sure she was ok!They are so kind and truly caring at Malden Animal Hospital/Kennel. Absolutely use them as your vet.

The other 2 reviews really hit the nail on the head in terms of describing the great care and attention to detail that Sue and Sol offer. Also, Sue takes great pictures that are always comforting to see when away from your pet for a long time. They have gone above and beyond every time we've utilized their services. Our cat sheds A LOT due to his medical condition, so they vacuumed the apartment even though we never asked or expected them to. Sue also made a homemade cat toy for him, which he loves. I highly recommend Furry Friendz.

Our pets are like our children, and it's important for us to have them well cared for when we're at work or away. With Furry Friendz, we knew they were going to receive the most excellent care. As soon as Sol and Sue came to our apartment to meet our cats and dogs, we knew they were something special. They put our sometimes skittish animals at ease immediately. They asked us so many questions and were interested in every tiny detail about our animals' likes and dislikes. We have a lot of complications with our animals- a dog who is fussy about his food, a cat with a brain tumor, medicine that has to be administered... the list goes on and on. Furry Friendz took in all the information and got up to speed quickly on exactly what our animals need to feel happy and comfortable. They put our minds at ease and we felt confident knowing they would be caring for our pets. Our pets love Furry Friendz and they have so much fun spending time with them. Sol and Sue give us a full report about the visit and send us pictures of the animals playing and on their walks. We've noticed that they always seem to go the extra mile on their visits-- spending extra time and doing little things to make sure the visit is as fun for our pets as possible. We've had experiences with many pet sitting services and have often felt people were going through the motions and didn't really care about our pets. With Furry Friendz, we're confident that we have a team that loves animals, is really good working with them and always over-delivers on our expectations. This is a truly excellent service!

Tomorrow is my dog Leo's last day with Paws in the Ville. We are moving this weekend and although we're excited to give Leo the yard and space he deserves, we're so so sad to have to say goodbye to Annie. I hope Annie knows how wonderful we think she is and how much we value her, but I wanted to take the opportunity before we left to sing her praises more officially. We've had several pack leaders in our almost three years with PITV and all have been fantastic, but Annie really feels like a member of our family. Not only does Leo love her, but I always enjoy when I get to see her and chat with her because she is such a bright, friendly person. And my one year old human baby lights up when Annie is here too! I always know that Leo is going to be safe and happy when he is with Annie, and her updates always feel so personal and like Leo is her favorite dog (even though I'm sure she makes all the dog parents feel like that). I know Annie loves Leo as much as we do and I think Leo knows that, too. I wish we could take Annie with us to our new town! It's going to be really hard to find a walker out there who lives up to the high standard that PITV has set. Thank you for being such a steadfast and reliable part of our time here in Somerville. We will miss you!
