City Dog Adventures

I highly recommend City Dog Adventures for dog walking. I needed a dog walker just for the summer and they were very flexible to my schedule. I was worried how it would work out because my dog is usually resistant to walking with new people and walking in the heat but Shelly did a great job in getting her out. Shelly fed her and did a 30 minute walk around lunch time. I loved the notes she left, hearing about how the walks went. They were also very accommodating for last minute requests for walks on days that weren’t on our usual schedule. Beth handled most of the scheduling and was extremely responsive on email. I would definitely use them again in the future. Very trustworthy and dependable!

We have been very satisfied clients of city dog adventures since the spring and can’t say enough good things! Shelly and Beth clearly have a passion for what they do and take very good care of our dogs. When looking for a dog walking company I did a lot of research and was very impressed with city dogs prices and services offered. I can say from experience that though the prices may be less than their competitors the services are top notch. Our dogs are primarily walked by Shelly who has been beyond flexible with our schedule. Recently we had a change in schedule and needed our dogs walked at a later time, Shelly was able to accommodate this need with little notice. A couple of weeks ago a neighbor had heard our dogs barking and was concerned but my boyfriend and I were at work. Neither of us were too worried but the unknown can be quite terrifying when you won’t be home for hours! Lucky for us we didn’t have to worry for long. We sent shelly a quick email to appease our fears and she checked In with us promptly following the walk. These are just a couple of examples of city dog adventures going above and beyond to keep the dogs (and their crazy owners!) happy. We are so so glad we stumbled upon city dog adventures. The personal notes about the dogs day is also a very nice touch!

Shelly and Beth took care of my dog for the weekend, and he was happy as could be! I also received lots of picture/​video updates which helped with my separation anxiety :) They were great with my dog, and I highly recommend them to others.

Shelly is great with animals! She took care of our cats for two weeks when we went on our honeymoon. Our cats are basically like small dogs so I’m sure she’d take equally good care of your puppy friends :)

City Dog Adventures is different from other local dog walking companies in the area, because its prices are very competitive and it offers a variety of services that can be mixed and matched to meet your needs. In additional to the traditional 30 min dog walk that most companies offer, City Dog will do «quick visits» that are cheap 15 min pee breaks if your pup doesn’t need a full half hour walk. Also, my personal favorite are the 60 min «Adventure Walks» which are off (or on-​leash) hikes in the Middlesex Fells. They also offer 60 min play groups at the local fenced in dog parks, but my dog is weirdly anti-​social, so he prefers the hikes! The hour long options are perfect for days when you don’t have time to exercise your pup for an hour after work, or if (god forbid) you want to make social plans after work! :). My Brittany Spaniel absolutely LOVES going on Adventure walks with Shelly in the Fells, and the fact that he gets real exercise while I’m at work makes my life is so much more manageable. Having used several dog walkers in the area over the last few years, I highly recommend City Dog Adventures.
