BEWARE OF SCAM!!…read more Boston Dog Walks is a dangerous organization. We were so sad when our favorite dog walker went on to another business but felt relieved to have found BDW. However, on multiple occasions (due to my job), I happened to be home during our dog's regularly scheduled walks. And each time, NO ONE CAME! How long had we been paying these people who pretended to be walking our dog while collecting their weekly checks?! If only dogs could talk ... We had an agreement when we hired them that they would leave a note, indicating the time that they came, and at least 5 times, they "forgot" to leave a note. The final straw came when I stopped home mid-morning to find a note alleging that our dog had been walked at "12:20 pm." It wasn't even 11 AM!!!! When we fired BDW and demanded to have our keys back, Rachael (the owner) proceeded to tell us that our expensive, non-replicable keys to our building AND apartment were lost! A few days later, she corrected herself and said she realized that they were "broken," so we didn't need to worry. Needless to say, I changed the locks. The person who referred us to this organization has said that he has heard from multiple persons complaints such as ours, so I felt compelled to spread the word.

So first of all why is that the only two reviews yelp shows are one star? Then when I click on…read morefiltered results, it shows more then five 5 star reviews??? I think yelp is the scam not Boston Dog Walks! Ok now that I am done venting, I would never let another company walk my dog. Rachael, Jamal and the rest of the crew are AMAZING. They really love my dog and he is absolutely obsessed with them. Love that I can text last minute to set up a walk and know that my baby will be given exceptional care. I have also boarded him with Rachael and Jamal and I really appreciated the updates I received without even asking. Don't believe the one star reviews, click on the filtered (again, why???) reviews and get the real story!

if your going out of town and don't know what to do with your pup - then call Home Buddies!…read moreI'd taken oscar to The Pooch Palace before and was seriously disappointed. The concept was great and I think he had an okay time, but I got the impression that the people weren't really happy about being there. Not to mention, oscar got a tape worm (he's on frontline but i guess not everyone there was). Dissatisfied I asked my daycare what they suggested. Thats how I found home buddies. Its a couple who let up to 3 dogs stay at their house. Rivka works from home, so your dog will always have someone there - not to mention there's almost always another pup there. The people there are amazing. Super friendly, caring and just love the dogs. I trust them 100% with oscar. Because they only allow 3 dogs at a time, they fill up quick... so make sure to book asap.

Hmm, not the greatest dog park…read more We came here on a Saturday at around 2pm, and there was only 1 dog. Plus the water fountain inside the dog park was not working. The water fountain on the basketball court was not working either! Make sure to bring water for your pup if you're going here! Not worth going out of your way to go to this dog park. Only drop by if you're in the area.

However, the trees are still fairly young and don't provide much shade, so it can get pretty hot during the summer months. It would be nice if the company that developed the park could provide some canopy shelters for shade.

Dogwood Cottage took care of our wonderful Pug Ernie for 6 years and now cares for Puck our new fur…read morefriend. The Dogwood staff is wonderful, competent and caring - from Shannon who drives "The Bus", to Annie at the front desk and Carl who Puck clearly has a crush on. Puck is always excited to go (3-days a week) and exhausted when he gets home -- thank goodness as he needs to burn up that puppy energy. I highly recommend Dogwood as a daycare for your fur friend, especially when working remotely and you need time away from your "housemate" to actually work. Your dog will thank you!!!!

The only downfall that I've ever experienced is when people who own small dogs bring them into the large dog side (happened every time I've ever gone). Causes me massive stress/anxiety and also has caused my dog to get attacked by an overwhelmed corgi. Other than that we love going to this park! Definitely worth visiting.

I used to like bringing my pup here but I come less and less as there have been issues. For the…read moremost part I am giving up on dog parks. 1) This park has a tendency of creating a lot of puddles. My silly dog likes to drink puddle water when i am not looking so he gets a dog flue. 2) My pup also tends to get doggie flue from other dogs even though he has had his bortadella shot and all other puppy shots. 3) Some dogs are turning aggressive and dominant towards my pup. As my pup gets older his sexual maturity is more prominent. He is 10 months old now. Most recent visit a boxer tried to attack him. 4) Obedience issues. Dog parks by nature have a tendency of making dogs less obedient. They go wild going around running and jumping so all those commands I taught my dog at home are useless here. 5) I have realized that my pup does not need dog friends. I am his only friend. That is the only friend he needs. After I bring him home from this park he is more rowdy than ever. Trying to establish his dominance on me. As a pack leader I end up spending 30 minutes calming him down. After visiting this dog park I have learned that dogs aren't meant to be at dog parks. There are way too many dangerous and obedience issues that come out of dog parks.
