My sweet pup Freddie is a sensitive little guy who takes a while to warm up to other people, and the Doggy Daycare staff have been absolute angels with him. They truly go the extra mile, even giving Freddie one-on-one time until he got more comfortable with them. I trust them with Freddie implicitly, and he's always ecstatic to get out of the car and into daycare in the morning, which I never thought I'd be able to say. I couldn't be more grateful, and neither could Freddie! (For anyone with COVID-19 concerns, they are taking all the precautions--wearing masks, social distancing, etc. They have each owner wait in their car and call the front office for drop-off to avoid any gatherings.) All in all, a wonderful service, I can't recommend them enough!

Dorchester Dog Walking is the BEST. They took care of our rescue dog, Brewster, for over 3 years…read more It was awesome because two of our neighbors also used Dorchester dog walking so Brewster would get group walks with his pals. Elle is unbelievably organized and super responsive. We 100% trusted her and her team. We used their dog walking and boarding services. The pictures and updates for every walk are amazing.

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!

Woof Woof Karen & Erika (which means "thanks" from my puppy!) :)…read moreMy 18 week-old puppy spent a night at Karen & Erika's, and it was his first time away from home. He had a GREAT time, met new dog friends, and when I picked him up at the park the next morning (during the morning romp for all the Urban K9 dogs), he barely acknowledged me. When we got home, he slept for HOURS. He was happy and exhausted, which made me happy as well. I am so glad someone recommended Urban K9 to me, and you should check it out!

They came to meet me and Iggy, that's his name. They made the process very simple. I completed the forms, gave them instructions. I left the payment and they left me a paid invoice with a report on my cat. They feed him and cleaned his litter box as requested. I look forward to doing more business with them in the future.

After trusting this clinic with my dog for 16 years, I never imagined her final moments and…read moreaftercare would be handled this way. Upon entering thrive clinic for my dogs euthanasia appointment, we were greeted by a Receptionist named Kelly Entwisle Leblanc put us in a room then proceeded to " BOOP " my dog on the nose making her very confused as she was going blind and deaf . Dear Kelly , this was not the time to "boop" a dog on the nose ! not on the day of their final goodbye . But that was the least of what was going to happen my family , a week later When I picked up her remains, I was given a BROKEN clay paw print . In a bag I was given her ashes with the wrong name on it. YES the wrong name . In the same packet was another envelope with her paw prints that had her correct name making the entire situation even more confusing and distressing. When I brought this to Kellys attention, she immediately blamed the manager, " my manager knew about this " while the manager told me Kelly never informed her about what happened. Instead of taking responsibility, I was left with conflicting stories and no real apology or effort to make things right. Kelly then blamed the cremation company final gift " they do this all of the time , I'll call them and make sure they fucking fix this" why were you swearing ? Why were you so unprofessional? The cremation company confirmed a mistake was made by Thrive and not them . I then drove 2 hours to the cremation place to have them switch my dogs ashes into the right bag with her right name . Thrive made NO effort to fix this situation I HAD TO DO IT. Losing a beloved pet is one of the hardest experiences a family can go through. The mistakes themselves were deeply upsetting, but the lack of compassion, accountability, transparency and follow-up made an already devastating day even more painful for our family . I did not receive an apology from Mrs Kelly Entwisle , not a call not a letter . I did not receive any type of reimbursement even after they knew I had to drive to the cremation site myself with my dogs ashes to fix this situation. I will tell everyone to stay away from Thrive natick .
