They've always taken great care of our dogs, and they treat them like their own. Highly recommended.

Doggie Au Pair is hands down the best choice I made for my pup. Georgia (my dog) is not the best with new people but she loves Jannine, who is patience and so good to her. My pup went through a couple of months of chemo treatment and Jannine was there to help with all my requests. So if you're looking for an amazing dog walker... this is the company to hire. read more

Doggie Au Pair - Dog - Dog Walkers Near Me

Highly recommend! Loving, professional and organized. You can tell they treat each dog like family. We've referred family and friends for years and will continue to do so. 5 stars! read more

we have used these guys for many years to take care of our cats while we are away. It is very comforting to know that someone is coming in to feed and play with them. They always post a few pictures on the private website so we can see how the kitties are doing. I highly recommend them! read more

Reliable, professional, trustworthy and my dog loves the walkers. It's a nice community for my dog to be part of.

By far the best pet sitters we have ever used! Lorraine and her team have cared for our lab (13) and cats (11 &12) for their entire lives. The level of attention, care and love they provide is unmatched. When we leave our fur babies we have total trust and peace of mind knowing they are in such good and loving hands, which is priceless!! We feel blessed to have found them and can't recommend them highly enough!!! read more

DAP takes such good care of our pups! We have been a member of the pack for 10+ years with multiple dogs. The team cares for the dogs as if they are their own. Can't recommend them enough. read more

If you love your puppy, please do not hire them. Yes, they have lots of good reviews all over social media, that is why I hired them. They lost my dog during an off-leash hike on Wilsons Mountain. I also didn't know they did not have the Dog Walker Permit from the MA DCR when I hired them. Several mistakes were done by them during the sad event. If you are looking for a dog walker or someone to take care of your furry family member, please dig deeper and find out as much as you can about them. read more

Zero stars. They lost my dog and didn't care at all. They lied to us about how they lost her and took 3 days to talk to us in person or make an effort. We never got her back. They hike illegally off leash in dangerous spots near the road and with 6+ dogs and 1 human ratio at a time... not sure anyone can safely manage that. They don't have an active business licensee and are poorly trained. After everything their insurance called to offer $4000ish for the price of it all as if you could add a value to the loss of your family member. Do not trust them and leave your fur baby in the wrong hands. Fuck them and their business model. They are cowards, not dog lovers, and care only about their money. An honest review from a mourning dog parent To Loraine and the owners, don't you even dare comment on this post because you know it is the truth. Enjoy your lovely little business and living with the guilt of it all read more

Most customer-service dog business we've ever met. Besides that, our dog just loves his walker.

My husband and I recently brought home our tiny bundle of fur Kodi and are SO happy to have found Lorraine, Rebecca and the team at Doggie Au Pair! Our schedules are unexpectedly busier at work than we expected during this adjustment period and we would not be surviving without them! They offer a puppy package that allows for 2 visits a day and ensures Kodi is not alone for too long and is getting a ton of attention during the day. We found Doggie Au Pair via a referral and all the positive reviews couldn't be more accurate. Thank you for loving our little dude just as much as we do! read more

Doggie Au Pair - Dog Walkers Near Me

See all

ATTN ALL PET OWNERS WHO USE PET SITTING SERVICES: STAY AWAY FROM DOGGIE AU PAIR! I recently returned from a trip after hiring them to look in on my cat for one week. I used them in the past and never will again! I left out 14 cans of cat food for my 7 day trip, with the instructions to feed 2 cans per visit and it was understood that her litter box would be cleaned out daily. Upon arrival home, her litter box must not have been cleaned in days, and there were at least 7 cans of cat food left out. I'm writing this after requesting my keys back and having paid the servse and informing them that I will under no circumstances use them again and received nothing but unprofessionalism in response. My furbabie was not taken care of, and it showed when I came home in her behavior, I'd hate for anyone else to go through this. read more

Doggie Au Pair - Dog Walkers Near Me

this is by far the best pet service I have ever used. They consistently go above and beyond and follow instructions to the letter.We have used this service over the course of six years and they always step in on short notice and leave little report cards on my Frenchie 's visit. I normally stay away from posting reviews. I have worked in the service industry and I realize at this point a lot of people enjoy making noise or they simply have unrealistic expectations...DAP performs ! You can trust them with your house keys! The pets are clean, happy and watered. Perfect. The owner and everyone I have met involved are passionate about their work. Love them. read more

Doggie Au Pair and the entire team has been such a great find for our furbaby. Lorraine is always responsive via email and have been flexible with our hectic schedule. When our little pup Penny first went for her excursions she had come back with some ticks, something us city people never had to deal with before heading out to the burbs, Rebecca was amazing and recommended different products to use and kept Penny on a leash until she was fully repellent. They truly care and listen to your needs and requests. Our dog who was never a swimmer, now enjoys going into the water and comes home beyond exhausted which is great. The pickup window options are great to have and they leave notes on what took place (#1, #2 etc) during the trip. We've been extremely happy, Penny is so excited when we mention "Rebeccas coming", so we look forward to continuing using Doggie Au Pair for a long time! read more

We have had 2 dogs with Doggie Au Pair. They take such great care of the dogs and care about our fur babies as much as I do as the owner. We love Maureen! read more

Lorraine, Alana, Jannine and the other walkers with DAP are gems! They are 100% reliable and were flexible when we needed. We used DAP every day for 5 years while living in Boston, and their TLC, is a big reason our golden retriever is thriving at 13 years old. We genuinely miss this team now that we have moved to NC. We could not sing their praises louder! read more

We have used Doggie Au Pair for the last 5 or so years. Our dog gets a good, energetic walk in the woods with other field dogs like her and she loves it. The company is quick to respond to last minute walk requests and really easy to do business with. read more

Doggie Au Pair provides a great service! We have our dog go on an hour hike once a week in the wake of our other dog passing a few months ago. He is so happy on the days when he is out running with the other dogs! read more

Doggie Au Pair is simply the best !!!! The have exceeded all my expectations.....Incredibly easy to work with, like making last minute changes......They also treat my dog with great respect & love....Don't hesitate......Call D.A.P. now!!! read more

I can't believe I'm the first to review DAP! Our dog, Duke, has been getting walked 2-3 times a week for over a year and a half and we honestly couldn't be happier. For $25 a day, Dukey gets picked up, plays at various local parks for an hour and then dropped off. I happened to be home when he got picked up once and seeing how excited he was to go hang with all of his buddies was so heartwarming and should've been videotaped for DAP advertising. We're incredibly lucky to have found Lorraine and her whole crew! read more

They are great! So sweet and attentive with our new puppy Shirley!

I've used DAP twice with 2 different dogs and both dogs have been forgotten . Organization not the greatest.

Best pet sitting service by far! Every employee is an animal lover and they go beyond to make sure pets are happy, well fed, and that litter boxes (for cats) are very clean. Have used Doggie Au Pair now for over 10 years and am absolutely delighted to know that I can trust the crew to take care of my cats. I trust Doggie Au Pair to be as good to my pets as I am! They are also terrific about locking everything up, setting alarm appropriately, etc. I travel stress free knowing Doggie Au Pair is managing my pets' welfare. Lorraine, the Founder of the Company, is awesome! Every employee is well-trained! read more

This is my first review and I am glad it is for Doggie au Pair. Doggie au pair takes care of my pup Myles (a bundle of energy chi-beagle). They are very responsive and they show him just as much love as I do (probably even more). I am someone who truly relies on the reviews I see on yelp especially for my puppy Myles. They are very accommodating. They took Myles as a client the very next day after our meet and greet. Lorraine is an amazing business owner. She hires qualified staff and is absolutely loving. I will be sad the day I have to stop using them. read more

Lorraine and the Doggie Au Pair team have been a lifesaver to me! I adopted my Southern pup in January and I was certain she'd be happy to come to work with me (at a veterinary hospital). Turns out, she's a homebody and prefers her crate at home to my office at work. My schedule fluctuates, and I often make requests for walks on short notice, but Lorraine has always been more than accommodating. My dog LOVES her walker and she is always so happy and calm when I get home. I can't recommended DAP enough! Thanks Lorraine and team! read more

Lorraine and her team at DAP are great. I schedule Nemo's walks very sporadically, and she has always been able to accommodate us and has never missed an appointment. Nemo seems to have a great time on his group walks and has even been to a few places we haven't taken him to yet, lucky dog! One of the things that impressed me most upon meeting Lorraine was how she took diligent notes about Nemo, his behaviors, and how we "raise" him, along with notes about where we keep everything. It showed me that she really cares to know each and every one of her clients, furry or human. read more

We have been using Doggie Au Pair for about 6 years. Lorraine and her staff have been very understanding in working with our fearful dog who doesn't always love to take walks. Janine and Lorraine are prompt in responding to emails and have always addressed our concerns. DAP is the first service I mention when people ask about dog walkers in Dedham. read more

Lorraine and her team are amazing. We were so happy to have 1 dedicated walker who got to know our dogs incredibly well. We had issues with other services in the past... DAP hires great people who love dogs. We never had to escalate a concern for any reason, but I'm so confident that if we did it would have been handled in a timely and professional manner. read more

Doggie Au Pair is awesome! I have used them for approx 10 years. They are like part of our family. It is an awesome service and completely worth every penny for our fur baby. Lorraine and ALL her staff are wonderful, caring, and trustworthy. Do not hesitate to use them. read more

I've been through three dogs with Doggie au Pair and I simply can't say enough good things about them. The absolutely best company for pets! I love them! read more

I have been using Doggie Au Pair for years to take care of my cats and my home when I am away. They are totally reliable and competent. I come home to calm, cared for cats - so much better than boarding them. In addition, if there is a problem at the house, Doggie Au Pair goes the extra mile, calls me wherever I am, and together, we get the problem solved. Staff are amazingly responsible, cheerful, helpful, calm. My kitties and I love them. read more

We love Doggie Au Pair. Our boy gets so much love and attention from his walkers and burns much of that puppy energy to keep him out of trouble. Lorraine and Jeanine are super responsive and always there to lend a hand. read more

We just love DAP. Lorraine and her crew is so professional and wonderful. We have been using them for many years and all our experiences have been positive. They really know our doggos personalities and quirks and will let us know if one of them is having an off day. As a nurse I am essential personnel and even in the worst of winter storms, they have been more than willing to help me since I work 12 hour shifts. Overall, I would highly, highly recommend! read more

I have been so impressed by Jannine and the Doggie Au Pair service. They are responsive, friendly, caring, and professional. My dog is like my child and I feel completely confident having DAP take care of her while I'm at work. It gives me great peace of mind to know she's being walked and loved by Jannine or Rachael. Highly recommend (and I NEVER write Yelp reviews!). read more

We've been with Doggie Au Pair for almost 5 years now and Kaia loves her hikes. It's not only been a perfect way for her to get exercise, but the socialization with other dogs was instrumental for her. And the walkers are so good with her! read more

Excellent care -- responsible, capable, caring staff! I never hesitate to leave my pets in their care!

Professional dependable honest caring practically family.

We only wish we had found Doggie Au Pair sooner. Lorraine is wonderful to work with, and we are so glad to have found her. Pee-breaks for our elderly beagle have been so helpful, affordable and EASY. We've so appreciated her staff's personal care, including notes for us each day. We couldn't be more satisfied customers. read more

We absolutely love Doggie Au Pair! They take such great care of our beloved but very active dog. Each person who has walked him has been wonderful. We have moved but stayed with DAP so have had a couple of different dog walkers and Chester has loved them all. In fact, I have run into them while walking Chester at the park and he tries to leave with them, rather than stay with me - to see him greet the dog walkers so happily has reassured me that we have the right people taking care of our dog. In addition, the costs are reasonable for a one hour, off-leash walk and Lorraine is unbelievably flexible when I need to change the schedule. We could not survive without DAP and we recommend them to anyone. read more

We couldn't be happier with Doggie Au Pair! Lorraine and her team are extremely knowledgeable, reliable, super friendly and just so easy to work with. After doing some initial scouting for dog walking services in our area, we had an introduction meeting with Lorraine and hired her on the spot. She was so attentive and considerate of our needs and took lengthy notes on our puppy and our family dynamics in order to put together the best plan for us. Lorraine makes is very easy to stay in contact via email throughout the day and is super quick to respond. She even sends a photo text occasionally of our pup enjoying his walk which totally just makes our day! Our usual walker, Kemp (part of the DAP team), is fantastic! He always leaves a note for us about the visit and what our pup got to do, etc. We love it! We have a lot of construction happening on our street which makes it difficult to get in and out sometimes but Kemp goes with the flow and makes a judgment for what is best for our pup that day given the circumstances. We have been so pleased with the stellar service provided thus far and we know our pup is looking forward to many more walks with DAP! read more
