Find a Dog Walker in Kensington

Rebecca is such a wonderful pet sitter!  She is gentle and sweet, playful and loving, dependable and committed to providing whatever care is needed.  I'm sincerely jealous, because one of my cats likes her better than me!  It's reassuring to know my kitties are well cared for when I'm gone, and I love the photos of them that she sends to me.  I highly recommend Rebecca.

Dominique was referred to me by a friend.  I work full time and it's not at a desk job.  I was complaining to my friend  about the guilt I had around being too tired to take my boys out on walks.  Yes I love my dogs, and they love me too...I just didn't have the energy to get them out and exercise them.  It wasn't a good feeling, me guilty and them bored.  Tired of our unhappiness, I reached out for help.  I guess it's been about 5 months now since I first met with Dominique.  She came to my home with Hughey.  They did a free consultation with me and my boys.  We visited for about 30 minutes.  I showed them the commands they know, they can do sit, stay and will stop before crossing the street, nothing fancy and definitely not reoccurring 100%...they like to show off, so we spent some time outside letting them play and horse around.  I showed them what harnesses I use and where I keep em.  Then it was time for Dominique and Hughey to take them out.  I was a little nervous.  My boys are big, and I know how they behave for me, but I was worried about how they'd act with other being in charge.  So I waited, and yea I fretted a little.  About 40 minutes later they returned, happy and safe.  My jaw about hit the floor when my dogs actually sat to let Hughey and Dominique take off their harnesses.  When we sat down to talk business my heart warmed when my dogs layed down at hughey's feet.  It was the sign I was waiting for that these two were gonna work out for us.  We started out doing bi-weekly visits, the first couple of weeks I was around to help acclimate them coming into my home.  My dogs are a little protective over the house, that went away after the second visit where they entered without knocking and just used the key.  I was surprised that the second time my boys totally knew who it was, and were off the hook excited.  LOL nothing like 200 lbs of excited dogs bouncing off the walls when you have no idea why they're so excited!  My dogs are socialized and it was pretty quick that they got used to the other dog they share their walk with.  After about a month I upped the visits to 3x a week.  I wasn't just seeing a lack of boredom in my boys, they were behaving better.  About a month and a half ago I relocated to Concord.  Not wanting to change what my dogs had become accustomed to I started dropping them off for boarding while I'm at work.  It's not as often as it used to be, but I manage at least one day a week if not more.  They work with my schedule as my days and times vary, and I'm really grateful that I'm still able to give this gift to my boys.  It really makes their lives more full, and it's relieving to see them happy.I'd like to give a special thanks to Dominique, Hughey and Emi.  You've really made a big difference in my boys lives, and I'm so thankful for the service you provide!

We happened upon Happi Dogs (via Yelp) about 6 months ago when I was in need of a dog walker once a week for our new puppy. When Emily came over to meet our pup, and us, I immediately knew our puppy was in good hands. She is very organized, communicative and thorough, and our dog loves her. And she texts pictures of our dog on their adventures together! We've since boarded our dog at Emily's house a couple of times and it's reassuring knowing he is being very well taken care of. Highly recommend!
