Can't say enough good things about the Pooped Pooch! We came to them right after I adopted my dog,…read moreTubbs, and he was a nervous mess with no training and a million other problems. Daycare was not his favorite thing but I kept having him attend, once a week to build his socialization and have an outlet without me. After going to daycare once a week for months, he finally had a switch flip and absolutely LOVES daycare. He knows on Tuesday mornings he has to get ready early and spends the entire drive there with his tail wagging excitedly. This once very anxious and unsure pup now looks forward to playing and "going to school". He is always worn out and sleeps for like 2 days straight after attending. Tubbs also has a lot of allergies and needs special attention to those medical things. They make sure he never comes even near any of his allergies and i fully trust he is getting great care. Whenever we do an overnight stay, they make sure he takes all his meds, update me on his visit and has lots of fun playing. We love the pooped pooch and are totally of the belief that everyone should be going to doggy daycare - especially them if you live in the dorchester area!!

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. We recently moved and we miss Dorchester Dog Walking! We have not found an equivalent in our new town yet. Don't hesitate to book with them! Seriously couldn't recommend them more.

They've helped us since day one with training, puppy walks, socializing, and just making sure our dog gets out and about as much as he should with our work schedules.

Most importantly, our dog is always so so excited and happy on his walks.

Bailey even walks us to her house as she LOVES going there!! They sometimes offers overnight service with notice.

We would recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog walking service.

I grew up with pets and I've had a dog and cat since college and I have never in my life…read moreencountered as wonderful and well-priced a pet-sitter as Tuckered Mutts. 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!

He always look so handsome. The grooming prices are relatively cheap comparing to Petsmart or other grooming places that I had bring Billy to. It seems like he love her as well. We actually bought a piece of painting from this grooming place because it was a not typical piece and it is a good way to support local artists. I would recommend this place to anyone that lives in Dorchester! =) A very Happy Dog Owner!

We have been using Kevin and the MyDot.Dog team for over a year and could not be happier…read more Kevin and his team are true animal lovers and take such care of our two boxers. They go above and beyond what we have experienced with other services. Getting them out for a good walk that lets them deplete some energy is something that we can always count on. This is far different from other companies where the walkers are walking/texting and not truly interacted with your dog. Kevin is their bud! Also, our pups can be challenging on leashed walks. Kevin using training techniques during the arrival/walk and we have noticed great improvements on the last year! Plus, we get great photos and a daily recap of the walking route, distance, and how things went. If you are looking for a highly dependable, skilled animal lover--hit up MyDot.Dog!

Joel and the team at Paws to Consider are awesome (or should I say paw-some)! I personally have…read moreonly met and spoke with Joel - the owner - and the service and communication has been nothing short of exceptional! I love that Paws does free meet and greet consultations to get to know your dog prior to just scheduling a walk (like Wag or Rover). Our adopted pup Rosie needs an experienced walker with the patience and care that Joel was able to provide, completely understanding as she is settling in and also getting leash-trained. We had a terrible dog-walking app experience because the walker was not a professional but just a college student who wants to make money while also getting the chance to pet a dog (despite us noting our needs). Long story short our girl got out of her harness AND collar as the walker was not able to properly approach the situation. Joel made the effort to acquaint himself with my pup and every time he walks her, he sends multiple photos and detailed accounts of the walk - including any good, bad, or odd behavior your dog may have exhibited/engaged in. Huge for learning how your pup may be developing - especially without you there - and if there's anything you can address sooner. Great visibility, easy to schedule service, candid and open communication, & one happy pup. Definitely recommend Paws to Consider's services for your furry friend.

Kai and the Happy Paws team blew my expectations out of the water. The only reason I'm no longer…read morewith them is because I moved, otherwise I would still be using them. Kai was super thorough during sign ups. She came to my house for a 1 on 1 consultation (COVID safe of course) and talked to me about Tilley's needs and what she could offer. I ended up having Tilley walked 3x/week. I swear my little girl had an extra wiggle each time she came home from her pack walk. Matt was Tillz dog walker and I truly have nothing but great things to say about him. He is prompt, so nice, and Tilley absolutely loves him. He is the only person she will bolt downstairs for at the door (she's a little lazy, I usually need to give her a little tug). She came back happy, exercised, and exhausted. All the things I want my little fur-ball to feel after a nice long walk. Also, I had a training session with Bria and she is a lifesaver. She trained me how to train Tilley and I've never looked back; Till is like a different dog now. I will 100% be using her services for training in the near future. All in all, I highly recommend Happy Paws for all of your pups needs (I say pups because no matter the age, all dogs are pups). If you're in the area, the team certainly won't disappoint!

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!
