“Ashley and Tom, owners of Fence-A-Pet, have provided many years of excellent service, from installation to on site training, complete with frequent follow ups to make sure everything is operating correctly. Over the course of about 14-15 years now, they have successfully trained 4 different Golden Retrievers on the same fencing system. Some of our dogs were pups and some were much older when they were trained. Today the weather was rainy, cold and windy and I didn't particularly want to go out on a long leash walk (we did walk around the block!) and it was a godsend to be able to have Nellie Mae amuse herself outside without having to worry about her wandering off. I give Ashley and Tom 5 Stars from their prompt responses to texts or phone calls. They provide highly professional service but in a personal, friendly fashion. Tom is always available to come over to make quick repairs when a section of underground wire "accidentally" breaks! I know they will be there for future adjustments or a new Golden Retriever in the family!“
“Pam was the third trainer I hired to work with my reactive dog Ralph. I didn’t have much hope since he wasn’t making any progress with the last two trainers we worked with. Pam was so patient with me, Ralph and also my two young children. She made it a family effort to help Ralph and my kids loved being involved. When we first met with Pam my dog couldn’t even see another dog while going for a walk or he would go crazy. Lunging, barking and pulling making it very hard for me to control him. After working with Pam we can now successfully walk past other dogs without Ralph reacting and can even walk nicely next to me while I push a stroller! We also recently have been going on group walks with other dogs which has been great! Thank you so much Pam!“
“We had a wonderful experience with Paws to Consider and worked with them for many years for our dog. They were extremely organized, kind, and responsive.“
“We started using Boston's Best Dog Walkers after regularly boarding our dog outside our home when we traveled.I am so pleased with this company! Having someone come to our house on our schedule is soooooo much more convenient than having to deal with an out of home boarding facility with hours that never seem to match what we need (never mind ridiculous late pick up fees on a Sunday!). It's also nice not to have to add a pick up and drop off to our busy schedule when we are trying to get a family of four out of the house for a trip.Now our girl stays in the comfort of her own home and gets all the love and care she needs. And the cost is either the same or less than a boarding facility in Boston. I also love the easy online scheduling and the ton of communication I get while she is being cared for. I never have to worry that someone won't come when they are scheduled. 10 out of 10 highly recommend!“
“People go above and beyond to help these dogs and that's a God sent thank you for all you do“
“We brought our dog in for a bath, groom, and nail trim with Jocelyn. Jocelyn did a fantastic job (see photo) and was great about communication. When Jocelyn sent us a photo, I couldn’t believe our dog looked so happy (she usually appears traumatized at the groomer’s lol). We will definitely be coming back!“
“Great experience today with nail clipping. So much that we booked a boarding reservation.“
“I bring both my dogs to this daycare and have nothing but wonderful things to say, from the knowledgeable staff to the spacious yard. Myself and most importantly my dogs are happy, I have a senior chihuahua and a younger large breed. They both are accommodated to and taken such good care of. The staff is so helpful and communicative I genuinely can’t say enough good things about ADC!!!“
“We have been bringing our rescue dog, Otto here for daycare since February of last year. He absolutely loves coming here. He howls & sings when I pass Stockholders because he knows we're almost there. Its the funniest thing! The people are super nice, they take care of him like he is one of their own. I have never felt like I have to worry about him, ever. It is very clean. They have plenty of toys and ramps for them to hang out on. Even huge umbrellas for shade and bone shaped pools in the warmer months. Most importantly the dogs that go there are super nice and seem well-mannered. Highly recommend them!“
“The best people ever there. I hate leaving my dog with just anyone but when he’s there I know they treat him just as I want him to be treated. And to boot my dog has separation anxiety when he leaves me but when the staff here greet him he goes right in and doesn’t look back . Here’s him getting ready to go and be dropped off“
“Odd Pet Vet is awesome, must-have essential contact for every reptile owner. Reasonably priced vet services for exotic pets, friendly environment.“
“We have done puppy 1 and puppy 2 classes with our Labrador, Mack. Donna and Marisa are fantastic, patient teachers that have made our relationship with our pup so much better. Can’t recommend enough!“
“It was such a relief to be able to go on vacation for a week and not have to worry about our pets. Marybeth took care of our fur babies like they were her own. She spent time with me before we left going over feeding routines and was very knowledgeable about giving my cat (who happens to have some drama queen/diva/b**ch moments) her glucosamine medicine. She checked in with me every day with updates and a pic and she went above and beyond because we came home to a clean litter box - which was something she didn’t need to do.10/10 recommend Marybeth!“
“Kim is very reliable and dependable. We love getting our daily pupdates stating how our dog's walk went. Very trustworthy walker, you can tell she genuinely cares for the dogs she walks!“
“So far pretty good. You get a video feed access to their main room so u can see ur dog playing with other dogs etc. Prices overall are decent and cheaper than say rover folks. They do dog bath too. Its basically an indoor place only. In a stripmall. I dont think they have an outdoor area. We havre a small indoor type dog. We go here for boarding and so far happy. Only thing is our dog sometimes has diarrhea day after we pick him up. Anxiety? Dunno“
“Clean and well organized. They are well staffed all the staff are exceedingly nice. Dog comes home tired, happy, and NOT stinky.“
“Dr mertz is great. I've been bringing a variety of animals to him over the last 10+ years. And prices are amazing for the services. I need to call them soon actually to make an appointment for my tortoises to get their nails and beaks trimmed! I've brought chickens here as well.They do take wildlife for rehab. Call first and make sure you go to the correct door for wildlife. It's not the same as the regular vet section.You can also take a tour of the facility. I think it's like 5 for self guided and 10 for a guided one. I always learn something when I'm there“
“This place saved me! Cannot recommend them enough. Was traveling through the area and from out of State. Needed a place to board my dog very last minute. Mike the owner was totally understanding and accommodating. My dog came home relaxed and happy. I selected to have her groomed as well and they did a beautiful job!“
“Best experience ever! I have a Doberman puppy. They are an aggressive breed with a bad rap. He is full of energy and I had absolutely no control. He would take control of our walks and it was quite a job taking him out. He was constantly taking the kids toys and we would have to fight to get them back. After some research I chose Canine College for some help. They have different levels of training and it's up to you to decide what you want. So I left my dog Coco there for 2 weeks. He came back better. After a while I decided to bring him back for another 2 weeks for the next level. After all he is an aggressive breed. I now have the best dog ever. They suggest that the family participate in the training. I suggest you listen to them and participate. They have taught me and my family how to communicate with him. He now listens and I now have complete control over our walks. And he listens and responds. They also offer day care. I chose to take him there a few days a week. He loves it there. If you choose to take you pet for training I highly suggest this place. Bruce and Robbin have taught me so much I just can't thank them enough. They a“
“Great place , Great Service, the one thing I can say is when we got a dog back there were maybe 6 , 7 or 8 spots that were sticking out pretty heavily where it was longer than the rest of the dog's hair. This is my first time getting a 20 l yes good“
“The entire team at Ruff Translating are beyond incredible. They really are “fluent in dog.” When I started my service dog training journey, I was completely overwhelmed and wondering what I’d gotten myself into. At no point will I pretend that training your own service dog is an easy undertaking. It takes consistency, persistence, and the ability to take constructive advice from people who know what they’re doing. In the year that I’ve worked with Ruff Translating, Apollo has completely transformed. I never imagined that we’d ever get to where we are now as a team.Ejay, Kim, and Michelle put so much time and effort into personalizing training plans for every individual team. The weekly report cards and homework are the perfect framework that I needed to get to where Apollo and I are now. I thoroughly appreciate the direct communication, and clearly outlined expectations for handlers and dogs alike, as it’s made navigating this process of owner training so much more manageable! These wonderful humans truly care about each and every one of the teams that walk through their doors. I’ll continue to recommend them to anyone and everyone who stops to compliment me on how incredible Apollo’s behavior is.“
“Great staff! Overall great experience. My family has been coming here for years & we started bringing our kitten and can’t recommend Emerson enough!“
“This place is amazing! They are so friendly and they care about your pet. Clover loves going and comes back so happy. Their Instagram photos and videos are also so fun to see :). I recommend 100%!!!“
“My mother and I came into the Animal Rescue League of Boston (Dedham location) today looking to give a young kitten a forever home. When we entered, we were immediately greeted by Taylor at the reception desk and we were brought into the adoption center to meet the kittens shortly after! Taylor, as well as the other staff members were very patient with the process as my mother and I agreed on which adorable kitten to bring home (which was a very tough decision considering that the Animal Rescue League of Boston location in Dedham had plenty of adorable kittens/cats to choose from). After spending close to three hours at the shelter visiting the cats and discussing our options, we ultimately chose a timid yet very loving and talkative young kitty. Following choosing our new kitten, Taylor was very helpful in walking us through the paperwork in the most efficient, yet understandable way possible and gave us tips on how to make our fur baby feel at home. I highly recommend the Animal Rescue League to anyone looking to adopt! We had a wonderful experience!“
“Kay is an awesome trainer! She taught us a lot with my boy Teddy. She was responsive and a great teacher. Our Teddy knows how to: sit, lay, come, and stay within a few session. Book her for your next training. There is nothing better than an obedient dog.“
