BEWARE OF SCAM!!…read more Boston Dog Walks is a dangerous organization. We were so sad when our favorite dog walker went on to another business but felt relieved to have found BDW. However, on multiple occasions (due to my job), I happened to be home during our dog's regularly scheduled walks. And each time, NO ONE CAME! How long had we been paying these people who pretended to be walking our dog while collecting their weekly checks?! If only dogs could talk ... We had an agreement when we hired them that they would leave a note, indicating the time that they came, and at least 5 times, they "forgot" to leave a note. The final straw came when I stopped home mid-morning to find a note alleging that our dog had been walked at "12:20 pm." It wasn't even 11 AM!!!! When we fired BDW and demanded to have our keys back, Rachael (the owner) proceeded to tell us that our expensive, non-replicable keys to our building AND apartment were lost! A few days later, she corrected herself and said she realized that they were "broken," so we didn't need to worry. Needless to say, I changed the locks. The person who referred us to this organization has said that he has heard from multiple persons complaints such as ours, so I felt compelled to spread the word.

So first of all why is that the only two reviews yelp shows are one star? Then when I click on…read morefiltered results, it shows more then five 5 star reviews??? I think yelp is the scam not Boston Dog Walks! Ok now that I am done venting, I would never let another company walk my dog. Rachael, Jamal and the rest of the crew are AMAZING. They really love my dog and he is absolutely obsessed with them. Love that I can text last minute to set up a walk and know that my baby will be given exceptional care. I have also boarded him with Rachael and Jamal and I really appreciated the updates I received without even asking. Don't believe the one star reviews, click on the filtered (again, why???) reviews and get the real story!

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!

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.

We are so happy to have Michelle looking after our two cats! Before moving to Cambridge, we had…read morefriends staying in our place and taking care of the pets. However, we did not have any such friends here, and had to look for professional sitter. Michelle was our first and only choice, and we are very happy customers! At first we were afraid that 30min-1h sittings will not be enough for cats that love human company and become sad being alone. However, there is no such problem with Michelle. When we come back after our traveling, pretty often cats do not even bother to greet us, it looks like they do not miss us at all, and that is great! :) Michelle truly cares after the pets, we are always up to date with our fury friends lives while we are away. There is no hassle to exchange keys or to get in touch with her for the upcoming visits. Highly recommend!!

Michelle's been sitting for my kitties for a couple of years. This last time (in 12/18) was a…read moregodsend. We had a cousin lined up to live in with Marigold, my cat, but he changed jobs and had to move away at the last minute. Fortunately, Michelle was available and she did a great job. She sends pix and videos, answers any and all questions I have, and lets me know what's going on every day. I know I can rely on her to keep Marigold in top shape. I also appreciate that she occasionally emails important info about cat health as she learns new information.

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.

Thanks to Heather, I was able to follow through on my non-dog commitments with a clear conscience that I didn't have to worry about my pets. I also met her many times when I was walking my dogs and she was walking others. She always had those dogs under calm and happy control and they clearly loved her as much as mine did. Heather is a gem and I thoroughly recommend her as a dog carer, and she looked after my cats when I was away. I could always rely on her.
