We would definitely have amy watch Chloe again and trust her completely.

Bailey is a large breed and can look intimidating to people who see her for the first time.

We can't say enough good things about Quadrupeds! Everyone who works at Quadrupeds is professional,…read morefriendly, and generous with their time and attention to all the dogs they walk and take to playgroup. 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.

I've been trying to get him here at least once a week, but may bump it up to two now that the weather is getting colder and the days darker. When I pick him up he's usually really amped from all the playtime, but after dinner quickly settles and chills with my husband and I on the couch - a tall order, as he is firmly in his angsty teen puppy phase. Weird aside, but I recently reached out to customer service to see if they've been cleaning him or spraying him with something before I pick him up, because he usually comes home smelling surprisingly fresh - I was told that nope, it's just the clean environment! All in all, this place is a great spot for your pup to get their socialization in and wind-up-toy energy out. I love that they know my guy by name (even if he's one of, like, seven Cooper's who visits), and I adore how happy he is to walk through the door each visit. Nice local spot filled with people who really care about their furry clients.

When I asked them if they can provide any insight on what happened, they mentioned he was playing rough and was relaxing by himself- my dog doesn't relax by himself when he's around other dogs, he's playful and his RELIABLE dog sitter calls him the life of the party. They did however confirm they saw blood on the floor but just assumed it was from another dog's urine-- WHAT! As a dog owner we all know when there's blood in a dog's urine it is watery, it doesn't actually look like blood! My dog had blood under his eye, an open wound and blood reside in his hair. His veterinarian confirmed it wasn't an injury playing with another dog.

Lindsay is amazing! It's hard to find a trustworthy person to take care of my puppy because he's…read moretiny and is always intimated by strangers, but Lindsay gained his trust. She would come over and let my Oliver outside while I'm away at work. She'd watch him to ensure he uses the bathroom then plays with him until he's tired out.

You can trust her with your furbabies 100% - I'd definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!

I just moved to the Boston area and I had an orientation to attend, but I didn't want to leave my…read moredog alone the first day so I requested a quote from Elisabeth the day before and heard back almost immediately. I was able to arrange for Sasha to stay with Elisabeth for 3-hours for $30. Everything was really convenient as the drop-off point is just a few minutes from a T-stop and Elisabeth walked my dog to me (in the Cambridge area) for no extra charge. Sasha seemed to be in a good spirits when she came to pick me up ;^). I would definitely consider Elisabeth if I need someone to take care Sasha in the future. She's cordial, really prompt with communication and friendly. Thanks again for the last-minute help!

They have been reliable without fail (unlike my experience from the dog walking apps), text me an update of what my dog did that day after every walk, and what other animals from my apartment building he played with! It's clear Chris and Karen really care about the dogs they walk as if they are their own and make every extra effort to maximize their fun while their owner is away. I've also gotten to know some of the other dog owners in my apartment building who also use Walk-Ur-dog and they also have nothing but positive things to say about Walk-Ur-dog. My dog is noticeably more excited to see one of his Walk-Ur-dog friends than he is of the other dogs he sees. I haven't yet used Walk-Ur-dog's boarding services but I've heard they are great as well! Prices are very fair and paying is also easy via Venmo and Chris is very responsive and flexible via text whenever I've had changes to my schedule. Again, I cannot recommend Walk-Ur-dog highly enough! Thank you, Chris and Karen!

After a day in the woods with the BOCA crew, my lil pup comes home, and saws logs! (Cheesy pun intended...) While I head off to work, JoJo gets to adventure in the wild, just as was intended for him!

A much better value than traditional doggie day care, with customized attention and pick up/drop off!
