Pet Boarding Training near Waltham

“The dog groomer, Jonathan, Is not just incredibly kind, he treats each dog like it's his own and that is very comforting. He's very detail oriented so Sammy looks terrific!“

“We have been working with Cara for basic training for our very playful, energetic and friendly 3 month old German Shorthaired Pointer. She has been amazing! Within one session with Cara, we found ourselves with a more manageable puppy. Our puppy also loves working with Cara. Cara really cares about what she does and it definitely shows! She arrives on time and knows exactly what to do. She’s also available to field any questions or troubleshoot any situations for 2 weeks after your session. We highly recommend her to anyone!“

“We can't say enough good things about Zen Dog! Gordon worked with us very soon after we brought home our 4 month old (adorable, if nippy and jumpy) rescue puppy, the first for our family. It was fantastic to have "Uncle Gordon" work with all 4 of us (2 adults and our 15 and 12 year old kids) in our environment and in a way so we'd all get the same messages and practice the same techniques with our puppy. G explains the "why" behind the training methods to build understanding with us humans and consistency for our puppy. And it works! We're still working on some things, so in visit 2, Gordon helped us focus on they places we were being inconsistent -- so helpful. Nipping is already way down (and no accidents in the house for weeks now!). And if you're not local, still check out Zen Dog comics and podcast!“

“Best dog walkers in the city! They walk the pets with care and provide the best updates.“

“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.“

“The Highland Team gave our 18 week puppy Harry a warm and thorough welcome to the area and his new home. They listened carefully to all our questions, and the visit was as satisfactory as we had expected from the the positive references.“

“We adopted a Maltipoo from Wendy Lindquist at Snow Pond Farm
I can’t say enough about how wonderful she is
Our puppy came home and was a delight, it was clear that he received such love and attention , he has such a great disposition . Everyone we meet say s he’s so well behaved for a puppy. Working with Wendy was also such a pleasure , very accommodating and helpful getting us started with a new puppy

She provided a binder with all his paper work along with ,
His blanket, teddy bear, favorite chew toy in an adorable tote bag

I highly recommend snow pond farm“

“Jen cared for my 11 year old hound mutt Biscuit during my 4 day vacation. She sent photos and texts. It allowed me to know the big guy was happy. She’ll be the first person I call before my next vacation!“

“Our dog LOVES Go Play! We did puppy and basic obedience courses there and she goes weekly for daycare. When they open the door for her to come in our dog runs in and doesn’t look back! Go Play was also super helpful and supportive when we were going through behavioral issues with our dog. They’re so fantastic!“

“We used Paws About Town for a few years while we lived in Newton MA. Im a first responder, so i dont have a set weekly schedule. They were the only dog walkers we could find that were willing to work with our schedule. Our dog is a blind Puggle with a big personality. She absolutely loved every time she got to have her play dates with Jason. You can tell he truly loves what he does and cares about each dog. We even had them board her while we went on vacation a couple times. Honestly I'm not sure I would trust anybody more than Paws About Town with my dog.“

“I have attended classes here for over 20 years with three dogs. It was a great experience for all of us.“

“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!“

“I love Metro Pets. They are always on time. And they return my precious standard poodle on time and beautifully groomed with a call 15 minutes in advance. Madison is a highly skilled groomer and she and Willow are a lovely match. I highly recommend Metropets. Not all groomers can handle a standard poodle cut that looks like a poodle but not too frooffy. Willow and I love Madison and Metropets.“

“I've been sending my dog Momo to Tammy and the team at Pondside for over a year now - he gets great attention, treatment and always has a fun time with his friends. Tammy has also provided grooming services that has been super helpful for a tantrum prone corgi. Great value and I know Momo is being well taken care of every time he goes“

“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.“

“The people at dogtopia are the best! Whenever I drop my dog off I feel like I'm leaving him in competent hands. It's also nice how the dogs are grouped by size. Would definitely recommend.“

“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%!!!“

“this shelter is extremely busy it took me going in 3-4 times to finally adopt considering it’s first come first serve and they’re super picky about who they let adopt depending on the animals needs (which isn’t necessarily a bad thing) however, the process is a little all over the place. after 2 times of losing out on a pet i liked and fell in love with, i finally i was able to adopt a kitty named coraline and i’m happy it worked out. definitely keep in mind this place is busy when walking in and don’t set your heart on somebody unless the papers are up and you can take them home that very day! coraline is super sweet and we all love her so much- even though it was a confusing process i’m glad it worked out for the best. it’s been 6 months since i took her home and i came here to say staff member Aaliyah is great and i feel like she knew coraline was a perfect fit for me.“

“We have been working with BFTD for several years now and have had great experiences. Part of why we've continued to come back is not only the progress our dog has made, but also the unique community feeling the team works hard to create. It is clear that our dog is not just a number and it's great to connect with staff and other clients in classes and the very active Facebook group.“

“They are so good to my little Laverne! (Even when she makes them work VERY hard to get her blood)“

“Everything was done professionally. My pup though she is not a fan is always well taken care of.“
