Walk-A-Pup

I could not be happier with Walk-​A-​Pup! My boyfriend and I have a rescue, Baxter, who we don’t like to leave alone all day. We use Walk-​A-​Pup a couple times a week and when we come home from work, Baxter is tired and a happy boy. I love that the walkers always leave notes from their walk, so we know exactly what kind of adventures were had. We haven’t yet gone on a vacation since we started with Walk-​A-​Pup, but we’re so relieved that when the time comes to go away, we have super professional and trustworthy folks to leave Baxter with.

Love walk a pup! We’ve been using them for the past 2 – 3 years. Our dog (started as a puppy) use to be horrible at walking on leashes. Through training and the great effort from Walk a Pup, he is now walking perfectly on his walks! We love knowing that while we’re at work, our dog is being taken care of. I look forward to reading the journals they leave about his daily walks. I also like that they walk them with other dogs in order to socialize them!

Eight years as a client and we are still so thankful for the Walk-​A-​Pup team. Very professional, always pleasant (when we see them), trustworthy, great communication. They are fantastic and we highly recommend.

Yana and Dan do a great job running this place. Our dog is a big fan of the walking services. The walkers often take the dog for an hour or more on some great trips. They leave a journal behind with all the events that took place on the walk. Every walker I have met is very good with the dog and seems very responsible. After 2+ years, I can say I’ve never encountered any problems.

Best training and dog walking services on Northshore. Compassionate, reliable and professional. Not to mention fun and trustworthy. Thanks to them I know our dog is happy and in the best care!

We have been using Walk A Pup for over a year for our Rudy dog and we couldn’t be happier — and more importantly Rudy is very happy too! Yana, Dan and the entire pack truly enjoy what they do and it is evident in how they treat Rudy as one of their own. They always take the time to write a wonderful note after each walk or over night stay. And they really know Rudy’s personality which indicates how much care and love they give to him. You all are so wonderful and we are so grateful to have found you! Highly recommend!

Dan, Yana and their team have been walking Riley for several years now and I honestly cannot recommend them enough! They are so caring and knowledgeable and it is obvious that any of the people who walk the dogs genuinely love spending the time with them. We love Walk-​A-​Pup!

I also cannot say enough nice things about Walk-​A-​Pup. The owners, Yana and Dan, are incredibly professional, very responsive and engaging with their clients, and just really nice caring people who clearly love animals and love what they do. As another reviewer mentioned, Yana and Dan get to know your dog before introducing other walkers and all the walkers I have met have been very nice, caring and also clearly very invested in the well-​being on the animals. Our dog Winnie looks forward to her walks each week and we have absolutely confidence that she is getting the best care when we are not home with her ourselves. I also really love how the walkers leave a note each day to let me know where they went and how Winnie did. Kudos to a great business!!!

Walk a Pup put our mind at ease while we were away on our wedding and honeymoon for 3 weeks this year. They have also come to check on our cat while we were away on vacation a handful of times. I HIGHLY recommend them for cat sitting! They truly care about animals and I know my little guy is in good hands when we are away! Very trustworthy and overall great people.

Dan and Yana have been walking our two dogs since May 2011. Our schedules have been getting busier and we needed some help with walking, as well as training. We have had our black lab mix for about 5 years and added our smaller spaniel mix to the family last year. The little dog changed the dynamic of our home, as well as our lab’s behavior, and we needed help to change it and make the dogs calmer and trained better as a pack. Dan and Yana’s help has made a world of difference and we trust them immensely. They care about the dogs, are great to work with, and you can tell they love what they do. We are very grateful to have found them and highly recommend them!

I honestly don’t even know where to start. I like to say that Dan and Yana plus the rest of the walk-​pup crew are sent from heaven!
I work in Boston, so when I got Lou my pug puppy I knew I had to find someone to help care for him during the day. They go above and beyond when it comes to caring for animals. After my first visit with Dan and Yana, I knew I could trust them and I also knew Lou would be in good hands!!!
After every visit each dog walker leaves a note to tell the owner what his or her pup did during their visit, I love coming home and reading Lou’s journal.
All of the people who work at Walk a Pup are fantastic!

I can’t say enough about Dan and Yana– as people, as dog lovers, as business owners, and as dog walkers and trainers!
For about a year they have been walking our two Boston terriers, Chubby and Mynne. They have helped us to get them to walk better on a leash. They have also helped Mynne to overcome some of her leash aggression. They care about dogs so much, that they are really the only people that I really trust to take good care of our dogs while we’re away on vacation! Well worth the price for peace of mind!

Dan and Yana are so much more than Dog Walkers! They are knowledgeable, patient, open-​minded dog trainers who truly care about our dogs.
I have a very special rescue dog who is terrified of people. In the 10 months we’ve had him, he’s only warmed up to me and boyfriend. He barks at anyone who comes into the house, cowers, tries to escape, and is in shear panic mode until the visitor leaves.
Yana and Dan come twice a week to help with Truman’s issues. They try a different exercise with him at every visit and I am blown away by how well Truman responds to them. In just two weeks, they’ve made great strides with him and I am hopeful for his continued improvement. I just wish I had called them earlier!
We’ve tried other so-​called ‘dog professionals’ in the past and they do not begin to compare with Walk a Pup. Call them! You won’t regret it.

I have been using Walk A Pup for almost a year to care for my blind pug with daily walks and pet sitting while away. Yana and Dan are incredibly professional and caring, and they truly understand animals. Additionally, they are very flexible and have a great team of dog walkers that work with them.
When Corky became sick, Yana and Dan were very flexible and rearranged their schedules so that he could have multiple visits per day instead of just his normal one. Additionally, they are very good with his special needs and are able to give him his medication and food in the middle of the day, which was going to be impossible for me as I work in Boston.
The best part of using Walk a Pup is that they leave detailed notes detailing how their visits go during the day. It is always fun for me to get home from work and read about how my dog got to play with the puppy across the street or go on a walk with another dog.
I have been extremely satisfied with Walk A Pup and would highly recommend them for anyone looking for pet sitting or dog walking services.

Yana and Dan are amazing! They care for our dogs while we’re away on vacation and if they just need walks from time to time. .. they are true animal lovers, and care for our dogs like they care for their own. .. we are lucky to have them!

We used Walk A Pup to care for our 2 crazy cats while we were away on a 2 week vacation. They did a great job, were very accomodating, and very affordable. They even left us a note every time they visited, played with the cats, and gave them treats. (All we had expected was food, water & litter change; so that was a nice surprise). We were extremely satisfied with the service provided, & would definitely use them again/​recommend to others.
