I work some really challenging hours and anytime I've needed additional walks, support or even last minute overnight care in the case of a family emergency, Kate and her team were there. She is kind, gentle and loves my dog with all her heart. I am so grateful to Kate and her team and cannot recommend Doggie Trail with enough enthusiasm!

Caring and professional service! Kate and her walkers have…read morebeen taking care of Bailey for over 6 years. We would never use another service. She loves dogs and has never let us down. Bailey is a large breed and can look intimidating to people who see her for the first time. Kate's walkers have always been very good with her and she barks and runs around in excitement when she hears them coming. I highly recommend Doggie Trail. Kate is a wonderful person.

We stumbled on Cambridge Canines a few years ago when looking for a pet sitter for our cat and we…read morewere lucky enough to find Adriane. She's been our go-to cat sitter ever since. Our cat loves her - Adriane comes by the apartment once a day to feed him, clean his litter and play with him, and always sends us pictures and emails to let us know he's doing okay while we're gone. Adriane's very knowledgeable about animals and has had great recommendations for any pet issues we've experienced (hair balls, wolfing down food, etc) and it's clear that she loves animals very much. Working with Adriane has been very easy - we communicate over email, she's happy to come by the apartment to pick up/drop off our keys before/after our trips, and has been available every time we've needed a cat sitter. Her daily rate is very reasonable as well! We're moving out of Cambridge in a few weeks and one of the things we'll miss the most is having Adriane to take care of our cat. It's been so nice to know that our cat is in good hands while we're away. We can't recommend her enough. Thank you Adriane!

Paws In the 'Ville is the best in the business! We've been with them since November of 2017, when…read morewe adopted our Jack Russell Terrier, Max. Jack Russells are notorious little crazed beasts, with an intense amount of energy. Having PITV as our walker has done wonders for Max. Elizabeth is his walker and is absolutely beyond phenomenal. She cares for Max as well as (or possibly better!) than we do. He's weird around other dogs, but she has worked closely with him and created an environment when he walks with ELEVEN other dogs in his group, without a hitch. Elizabeth sends us amazing pictures of Max every single time she walks him, and is excellent at communicating with us regarding his behavior (good and bad!). Paws in the 'Ville provides an absolute reliable, friendly service. We were brand-new dog owners when we started with them and Seana did everything we needed to assist us and created a huge level of trust. When we needed to switch walkers after one left PITV, Max had some issues transitioning - barking like crazy when a different walker came to get him and refusing to go with them. Seana worked closely with us until she found Elizabeth to work with Max. We felt completely supported throughout. I can honestly say that PITV is absolutely the best bang for the buck. It's beyond worth every penny we spend to know that Max is in extremely capable hands. Great communication, great community, great owner, great walkers. I can't say enough good things about this company.

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/

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.

They're really easy to deal with and communicate really well. Schedule changes are not a problem. We get text updates after each walk with a little feedback about Harry's development and behavior. We also get a lot of pointers regarding how to deal with certain behaviors. They're not just walking him passively, they're engaging and training him at the same time. The training we do with him is really reinforced by Jordan, Kerry and Melissa and their walks with him and his playgroup. We feel completely secure in leaving Harry with them and he really seems genuinely happy in their company. This service could not have worked out better for us. We would totally recommend these guys for anybody looking for a dog walking service.

We felt completely overwhelmed at first. Enter James and Jake, who truly saved the day. From the start, they were patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly invested in our dog's success. The progress our dog has made in just six months is nothing short of amazing, night and day from where we started. What really stands out is how much Jake genuinely cares; he treats our dog like his own, and it shows in the results. If you're on the fence about training, don't be. BDB is worth every penny. We couldn't recommend them more highly!

My dog Violet was stressed being alone all day while I work (trying-to-dig-her-way-out-of-my-condo kind of stressed). Cassandra and her daycare set-up ended being the perfect fit. When she had Violet and I come over for an introduction, Violet relaxed quickly and made herself at home on Cassandra's sofa, just like she'd do at home. I found that Cassandra is a delight to work with: she's very communicative and responsive and willing to accommodate special requests where she can. I was nervous about Violet's first day because she didn't love another, larger day care that I tried, but Cassandra sent me pictures of a happy dog before I had even gotten to my office. These days, Violet can't wait to get inside to see her friends. This is a dog who used to need to know where I was at all times and would never choose to go with someone else if I was there. Now she doesn't even look back at me when I drop her off. And I love that.
