On some of the negative reviews about difficulty scheduling -- I've never noticed anything out of the ordinary. Blizzard? Extreme cold? Sure, it's New England; things happen. In the rare occasion of a delay or cancellation (for me, only once or twice over the last 4 years?), it seems to be because the business cares about the well-being of their employees as much they do our pets. I've also done in-home and external boarding - it's like a mini summer camp for E, photos and updates come regularly, and he's always a little sad to come home. I've tried to work with other services (starts with R and ends with over) and LL's is 1000% better.

I'm often home when they come pick up my dog and I know my dog loves her happy walkers (who seem to love my dog :) The owner Jordan is super-responsive, easy to work with, and great at reinforcing our rules with training and walks.

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 even told her not to bother walking on of our two dogs due to her demeanor and lack of interest, and Mel wouldn't take no for an answer-she had both dogs off the couch with her in no time. Our dogs not only became better behaved with Mel, but overall happier and easier to walk for us as well. Dave then took over our walks without missing a beat-you won't find anyone more knowledgeable nor dedicated to his clients and their dogs.

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.

I've been using Walk-Ur-dog for almost a year now and cannot recommend them highly enough!…read more Every weekday either Chris (the owner) or Karen have walked my rather hyper golden retriever. They have been reliable without fail (unlike my experience from the dog walking apps), text me an update of what my dog did that day after every walk, and what other animals from my apartment building he played with! It's clear Chris and Karen really care about the dogs they walk as if they are their own and make every extra effort to maximize their fun while their owner is away. I've also gotten to know some of the other dog owners in my apartment building who also use Walk-Ur-dog and they also have nothing but positive things to say about Walk-Ur-dog. My dog is noticeably more excited to see one of his Walk-Ur-dog friends than he is of the other dogs he sees. I haven't yet used Walk-Ur-dog's boarding services but I've heard they are great as well! Prices are very fair and paying is also easy via Venmo and Chris is very responsive and flexible via text whenever I've had changes to my schedule. Again, I cannot recommend Walk-Ur-dog highly enough! Thank you, Chris and Karen!

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!
