Alexis and Dave at Emerald Neckleash! http://www.emeraldneckleash.com/

Cheryl Reed Devitt, most calm demeanor, capable and reliable.

I second the nomination for Emerald Neckleash- I cannot say enough about how amazing Alexis and Sam are!

Jennifer Jones - JPK9

Molly, the Official Dog of JP Patch, gets great walks (and sleepovers when we're away!) from Mailman's Pet Service. Mindy and Erin have always been reliable. http://www.mailmanspetservice.com/

Jen Jones JP K9! She is WONDERFUL!

Strut Your Pup - Jennifer McLaughlin loves doggies!

karen nash - http://www.doggiedaytrippers.com/aboutus/nash.html doggie day trippers! one of the first in boston and the best!

Bruce at woof and meow pet care

I would like to second (and third!) the JPK9 nomination! Jen Jones and her team have been taking our dog to the park most days since the week we adopted her. JPK9 is the best!

I third the nomination for Alexis and the Emerald Neckleash!

I nominate all the pet care operations in JP/Roslindale- as the owner of Woof and Meow, it is a joy to work in a neighborhood without a sense of competition- to create a best contest is a no brainer as everybody does a great job!! ( sorry if that defeats a contest mentality JP Patch). I will say we should nominate who has the best clients..there I would say Woof and Meow, cuz we are only as good as they are to work with...and they are the greatest! But I presume Cheryl, Alexis, Jen, Karen, Woof It, Doggie Au Pair, Nikki, etc..would nominate their client's as well...Pet care in JP simply rocks no matter how you look at it!

I vote for Jen Jones. I used her for a long time and she is wonderful!

MIchael Shores - http://www.thedogwalker.freeiz.com/. He's a kind, responsible person, and we trust him implicitly. He takes incredible care of our 3 dogs (2 large, 1 small) and provides excellent housesitting services and also will board at his home.

Karen and Erika at Urban K9 are the best! Very reliable and kind. My dog loves them. I agree that JP has some great animal care!

Tammy with Pondside Pet Care is wonderful.

I nominate Hounds About Town. Tina and everyone who works with her are all excellent! http://houndsabouttown.com/

I nominate: Mr Steve Liberace ~ He is the BEST.. I've known him for years.. He is tireless and consistently caring patient and enthusiastic about the pet..He seems to have a uncanny 6th sense about Dogs and their wants and needs .. Even the most hyper dogs are calm and loving with him..He goes the extra mile for the dog and owner..
I highly recommend him .5 stars!

I nominate Julie and Simone Sherman of JP Neighborhood Dog Walking and Pet Care who have taken excellent care of our dogs for over 2 years. They are wonderful people and have a great love for the dogs they care for. Jackson and Courtney Ravenoff. Their number is 617-505-6767. Website: http://www.bostondispatches.com/services.html

Glenn with www.runningthepack.com! he does a great job with our crazy boy, I look forward to the days I come home to a note from Glenn about how they spent their outing.

Alexis at Emerald Neckleash! Not only is she a natural, she is deeply committed to our canine family's well-being as well as the earth that we all inhabit. I truly love the company's philosophy and practices of hiring locally, reducing carbon emissions, recycling, and use of biodegradable poop bags. Alexis is very reliable and trustworthy: a true professional. Communication about my "kids" is so important to me and Alexis is very responsive and detailed. Top notch. The. Best.

Alexis and everyone at Emerald Neckleash are the greatest!!!

Dinyee Boose- She's a dog TRAINER who walks dogs. I wouldn't trust any walker but Dinyee, and she definitely knows dogs. I think we're even getting a bit of free behavior modification, to boot!
Dinyee isn't someone who thinks "gee, I'm unemployed, and dog-walking-- that sounds like fun." She's SERIOUS. She auditioned me and my sweetie to see how WE handled our dogs before she took them on.
I used to own a dog-walking and pet-care business, and I wouldn't trust any of the morons who bring a tangle of dogs to a dog-park and then pay no attention (or smoke a jay? are you kidding me?) while the dogs get aggressive with each other off-leash. Either those walkers lie to their insurance companies, or they aren't covered, cause there ain't no way they found a company to cover that.

I just checked-- Dinyee's company is Brookside Walk & Train. http://www.brooksidewalkandtrain.com/
And perfect reviews at Yelp: http://www.yelp.com/biz/brookside-walk-train-jamaica-plain

JPK9!!! No doubt!!

Jenny Jones of JPK9!!! My big sister is wonderful!!!
