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!

Our dog can be leash-reactive, so she requires walkers that understand dog behavior and are very responsible. We have been lucky to be a part of the WGO group for many years now.

When he hurt his leg, Jen was the first to suggest a name of a top notch vet for surgical intervention, and when when the champ dropped a few pounds because of a change in diet, she was thoughtful enough to reach out and let me know her observations. I would strongly recommend Wannagoout!

I just moved to Brighton and needed a reliable pet sitter while at an event. A friend of mine let…read moreme know about Boston dog sitting and I connected with Jennifer. I let Jennifer know about the my dog's specific routines, as well that she is diabetic. When I returned a couple of hours later, I found that my instructions regarding her meals were directly disregarded. Not only was there mess of fecal matter left at the back of our home, but I found that Penny had another full bowl of kibble despite her eating prior to me leaving her. Penny's health conditions make it so that she shouldn't have no more than a full bowl of kibble a day. If she does she risks exacerbating her health conditions. Jennifer was extremely careless in her care taking and for that I will no longer be a customer.

Sweet Bea was so well taken care of by Shari over the New Year holiday. It was my first time…read moreleaving Bea (just adopted her December 8) so I was really nervous. I got daily picture and video reports, and Shari kept me informed of Bea's eating (which was a concern for me). She even brought over a sample of dry food for my picky cat baby to try and she's eating it! Shari visited at the same time each day which kept Bea in her routine, which I really appreciate. Working with Shari included a meet and greet with Bea before I left, and she was very responsible and flexible with figuring out logistics with visits, keys, etc. 10/10 would recommend if you're looking for a cat sitter in the Fenway/Back Bay/South End area.

We all miss Sheri!…read more She has been our cat sitter for many many years. Now that I've moved to Florida, I appreciate her even more. She is incredibly reliable (before she arrived, I had horrible experiences with other reputable cat sitters) and the cats like her - not an easy feat for all three of my cats. I highly recommend her as a sitter - and wish she would move to Florida as well!

From start to finish--these guys were fantastic…read more I used an offer these guys had on Yelp, and had trouble inputting the code so I ended up not paying them up front (whoops! sorry guys) Ken reached out to me with specific instructions but also offered that I could pay once I meet the sitter, Molly. Molly worked according to my schedule and came by without a hassle on Sunday before our trip. She was VERY pleasant, and even Steven (our ever shy kitten) even came out from under the bed for a brief hello. Molly had a notebook and specific questions as I showed her where steven's food and litter were kept. I think most pet owners who hire a sitter tend to be fussy. I ended up texting Molly more specific instructions and requests leading up to the trip--all of which she handled without question or complaint. She also had to deal with getting concierge to open our apartment door every time she came by. Steven was fed and had someone to play with in the comfort of our apartment. We got notes and pictures of the furball every day that we were gone. We came back to a clean food bowl and clean litterbox. I am beyond satisfied with Pet Watch Boston.

After growing up on a horse farm and attending undergrad in my home state, I moved to Boston from Kansas (Rock Chalk Jayhawk) for graduate school. I decided I was ready for a kitten, and so now I have a semi-crazy 9 month old cat that doesn't really know her limits. I went on Thanksgiving break to visit the family, and decided to check out Pet Watch Boston because it had the best reviews. And now I know why. Ken is awesome. He came and met Stevie and checked out my apartment for no charge before break. I have a weird key situation and he was really easy going about that and we figured out a way for it to all work out with no worries. He sent me detailed reports of Stevie's life every day (even on Thanksgiving). I am really, really impressed with his professional and also casual attitude, and I know that he actually cares about his clients, and spends time with each critter individually. 10/10 would recommend, will have Ken cat sit Stevie again.

Mary and her team are the top dogs in South Boston!…read more After our long-term dog walker moved out of town, I was at a loss until I found Hounds in the Hub. I was anxious about establishing a new routine after so many years (and with such a quirky pup lol), but Mary was so professional and communicative about her business and services. It was super easy to set up a meet and greet and just go from there! I love the fact that requests are run through a simple, easy app. It provides great flexibility and helps avoid any miscommunications about scheduling. Plus, the photos and the notes from the walks are highlights of my day! And, of course, there is always the option to reach out directly for ad-hoc / special circumstances as well. Every member of the team maintains that same level of professionalism and care. Talking with other dog owners in the neighborhood, you hear that not every walking service is as kind or safe with animals. It just reaffirmed over and over that Hounds in the Hub was absolutely the right choice. My girl, Blue, is sociable, but often aloof. I have felt totally comfortable that everyone on the team was comfortable with her (pack walks or solo) and that's what is most important to me. And that's not including the numerous times and ways that the crew went above and beyond the call of duty, spoiling her rotten! If you need a dog walker / walking services in Southie look no further!

We truly cannot express how grateful we are to have Mary and the Hounds in the Hub team. Mary has…read morebeen walking and providing overnight care for our dogs Daffy and Gus for several years now. Our Gus is fearful of many people and can be very reactive to new dogs. Before we found Mary, we had very few people that we'd trust to care for Gus. But Mary has been incredible - not only do we totally trust her with them, but she has gone so far above and beyond to help us make so much positive progress with Gus. She has helped introduce him to many new doggy friends and really grown his confidence. Mary and her team provide so much more than dog walks and boarding - they provide customized care for our best friends. We cannot recommend Hounds in the Hub highly enough!

While dogsRbarkin often only takes on new clients by referral, if you can get onto the waiting list, it is worth the wait -- you will never switch companies again. This is definitely the exclusive pet family that you want to be a part of. My dog has been with Mike since 2013 and I can't imagine being with any other company. This is South Boston's best kept pet care secret.

The best part is their daily dog play groups which has been incredible for our new puppy! Provides socialization and much needed exercise- he has been so well behaved since going to his play groups! Mike is amazing with pups and will also help with things like giving them lunch, meds, etc. Our dog loves it when he comes by! I didn't think we would need a dog walker/play group so much with more working from home but dRb has been our savior- it's hard to get work done at home with a bored puppy! I highly recommend doing their play group every day, even on days when you will be home!

Highly recommend Terri at City Paws Cat Sitting!…read more We've been using Terri regularly for the past year whenever we travel, and she has been absolutely wonderful. She is reliable, prompt, organized, and truly loves cats. One of my favorite things is that she sends daily updates and photos, which gives us so much peace of mind while we're away. It's clear that she genuinely cares about the cats she looks after and treats them like her own. Knowing our cats are happy, safe, and well cared for makes traveling so much less stressful. If you're looking for a trustworthy and attentive cat sitter, I highly recommend Terri and City Paws Cat Sitting!

My cat was extremely anxious around new people, but Terri approached her with such patience and understanding that, over time, they became genuine friends -- something I never thought possible. She has an incredible intuition when it comes to animals, knowing when to give space and when to offer gentle comfort. I always felt completely at ease leaving my cat in her care, knowing she was not only safe but truly cared for. What I never expected was the emotional support Terri would provide when my cat's health declined. She was there during the most difficult moments -- calm, loving, and present -- offering both my cat and me comfort and dignity as we said goodbye. I will always be grateful for her steady presence and empathy during that time. If you're looking for someone who doesn't just "watch" pets but truly connects with them and treats them like her own, Terri is that person. She's more than a sitter -- she's become part of our little family.
