They keep me informed of how his walks and playgroups go, give him great care and positive fun interactions with other dogs, have come through with extra walks and pet-sitting when I have been in a pinch, and Theresa went totally above and beyond talking and texting me through many of my new-dog-owner anxieties when I was feeling pretty frazzled and overwhelmed early on. I'm so glad I found Bark to Basics.

After a terrible experience with a dog-walker (Seriously, if you are a pet owner, purchase a pet…read morecamera!), I came across Bark to Basics and Theresa and her amazing group of walkers. They are the most thoughtful and caring group. I come home to a happy dog, a detailed note about their walk, and even receive cute pictures from their walks each week. Sometimes, they take her on group walks so she can socialize with other dogs. If there is ever an issue (my sweet girl occasionally gets curious about what fragrant things are lurking in the covered trashcan), they text me right away. I know they love my dog just as much as she loves them. I am so happy to have found Theresa and Bark to Basics!

William will take payment while he is not actually taking your dog out. We have a very young border…read morecollie rescue, Wyatt. He was 5 months old when we hired William and at first it seemed great. Wyatt was basically housetrained and it seemed like William was supporting that. My boyfriend got a dog cam for Christmas and we started monitoring it because after Christmas, we were coming home to accidents and a very stressed out Wyatt. We even asked William about this and he said it was "normal" and suggested crate training. So we began leaving Wyatt in a crate. While monitoring the dog cam, one day he seemed to not come at all but we figured maybe he had come early. Another day we watched as he came into the apartment, cleaned up a pee accident, then left. The last straw was when he entered our apartment with his daughter, let Wyatt out of the crate for 30 seconds, cleaned up what appeared to be spilled water, and then shoved him back in his crate and left. Wyatt is a precious family member to us. We were horrified at this level of neglect and frankly, thievery. Please use another service, for your sake and your animals'.

As new dog owners we were nervous right off the bat about hiring a dog walker. We were lucky to…read morecome across M&W Canine, more specifically William. First and foremost we had a meet and greet at our house so that we could meet him, but more importantly introduce him to Jameson. Jameson is a 1 year old Boxer Mix who is high energy and after meeting William we knew he was the guy for the job. Additionally, he is 100% reliable, accommodates our schedules, and is great with communicating whether it be updates or schedule confirmations. Jameson loves his break from sleeping on the couch for a mid-day outing and also learns proper leash walking along the way!!! I would highly recommend M&W Canine for all of your dog walking needs!

With new jobs that required us to commute into the city instead of work from home, it was such a relief to find them. From the moment we started working with Catherine and her team I felt that my dog was well taken care of. We use Beantown five times a week, and they've always been accommodating to our schedules (if we need two walks a day, for example). Additionally, I know that if I ever needed overnight care that they offer that service. What's even better? They LOVE our dog and it shows. They are so caring and loving to her and I trust them completely! The team at Beantown goes above and beyond to make sure she is cared for. One time when honey got a little scratch on her face they offered immediately to take her to the vet for us. Their service is impeccable. They are responsive, fairly priced, and so kind. I love following their Instagram handle to see daily photos and videos of my dog playing with others, too. I 10/10 recommend Beantown for your dog if you are in the Boston area! We love them!

I tell everyone I know about our fantastic experiences with Paul. When he watched our cat during our two weeks away for our wedding and honeymoon, he kept a journal (written in her voice) of every one of his visits. We loved reading it when we came home! He played with our cat every day, kept her water and food fresh and filled, and kept everything around the house tidy for our return. Paul is the kind of pet-sitter that will take the kitty trash out every day to keep our house from smelling and sweep the floor to keep litter from building up. His attention to detail and thoughtfulness keep us coming back to Tuckered Mutts every time we're away. I don't know what we ever did without them. Thank you, Paul!
