Wags 4 Walks

"After our dog, Rocky, went with Kim for a playgroup one day, he was SO excited to go back.  We had the chance to see Kim work her magic the next day when we ran into her and the group at the park.  She is amazing with the dogs, watching their every move, giving them lots of positive reinforcement and always coming prepared with water, treats and hugs.  She knows each and every one of her dogs' personalities in and out and not only gives them exercise, but love and attention.Once I saw her in action, I felt so secure leaving my dog in her care.  Kim helped us work with our dog on his barking tendencies in a positive and effective way.  Not only did Kim love our dog, but got involved with the Boston Dog Rescue to help walk their foster dogs until they find new homes.   She is dedicated to all of her clients and their dogs." Hannah

 

"Hi Kim!  We are very pleased with the playgroup.  I did meet Amanda in person yesterday and really liked her and felt comfortable with her knowledge/ abilities etc.  It was evident that Sydney loves her and is thrilled to go off in her car. We really appreciate the feedback as well on how he is doing." Trish F. 

"Hi Kim!  Thanks so much for the update. Oliver seems so happy and we couldn't be more thrilled with how everything is going. Thanks also for the pictures - too cute.  We love how tired Oliver is at the end of the day!" Lindsay and Mike 

"Kim, I just wanted to take a moment to let you know how happy Paula, myself, and the “kids” are with Wags4Walks. We’re extremely grateful how dedicated you are to providing our dogs with the attention they think they deserve.  We have total peace of mind knowing they are in your care. It's great to come home at the end of the day and read the notes about how everyone fared and to see our tired pooches!  Thanks for all the great work!" Paula & Michael

"Kim, your company, Wags4Walks, has been a great find for us and Paka. The flexibility you offer is invaluable, especially given our work schedules. As first-time dog owners, we appreciate the special attention you gave to Paka's daily routine. It was instrumental in diagnosing and treating the UTI before it got more serious. Perhaps most importantly, you referred us to a great veterinarian. We absolutely love Dr. Storey!  When you switched coverage to Amanda, we were worried not having you but Amanda has been great. She's calm and commanding, and we're sure Paka is enjoying her daily walks and playgroups very much! Thank you, and keep up the great work!" -Carissa S. 

"Kimberly, who runs Wags 4 Walks, is awesome and it's clear that she really cares about the dogs. When she came over for our consultation she whipped out her digital camera because she just "had to take a picture" of our dog Hudson because "she's so cute!".
We use her for the dog playgroup service once or twice a week. It costs $22 and it's definitely the best value around. For awhile, we were taking our pup to doggy daycare, which cost $25-$30 a day, and although she was there all day she didn't seem to be getting much exercise OR individual attention -- now Hudson gets plenty of both during Kim's hour-and-a-half long playgroup. The dogs swim and romp, and Kim always leaves a note on the kitchen counter about what they did. Sometimes she'll email me some photos while I'm at work so I can see what my dog's been up to. She keeps the  play groups small and matches the dogs by size, which is nice. Wags 4 Walks is a great service in every way!" Amanda G 

"Kim, just to let you know how pleased we are with Melissa and Wags for Walks. It's great to leave for work knowing that Bo is not only cared for, but he's having a great time.  We're a bit jealous that he gets to play and swim daily while we're inside!  He truly seems happy and tired when we get home.  Thank you!! "Alysia and David 

" I just wanted to let you know how happy we are that you  are taking such good care of Jackson.   I've seen some of the pictures and he always looks like he is having such a great time.  I never worry about him being with you and     I really do look forward to reading the notes when I get home from work to see what Jackson did at playgroup.  Jackson had a blast this past weekend, he was swimming in pools and Loved it!!   Last night after his playgroup he was exhausted when we got home,  it's always great to see that!"  Anita K. 
 

" Hi Kim!  Things are wonderful,  I left a note on Friday for Melissa letting her know that every time I come home after her playgroups she is totally worn-out!  A tired dog is a happy dog...We love it and Chloe does too!  I'm still amazed that she is swimming :-).  We went from one extreme to the other as far as dog-care is concerned and we couldn't be happier!  I love the notes!"  Tara B. 

"I can't tell you how nice it is to come home to a dog that's had a fun day. Sampson really loves Monday and Thursday more now than ever. Also, I enjoy reading Kimberly's notes to see what mischief Sampson may have gotten himself into. Thanks again Kim." Jeff A

"Thank you for the pictures of Lexie.  It's great to see her interacting and making new buddies in her playgroup.  I can tell by the photos she is in good hands, which is very comforting to me since I always felt guilty while away at work.  As of to date, Lexie has been nothing but exhausted when we get home (and even the next day), and is usually snoring away - very loudly I might add - by 7pm.  Overall she seems just generally more relaxed.” –Jill 

"We are so thrilled that Riley is a Wagger. We often say to each other "thank goodness we found Kim". That is not an exaggeration...we actually do. Like many dog owners, we are completely obsessed with the care and happiness of our little guy. Knowing Ri is with Katrina and Kim during the day we are never worried about him. We know he is being cared for and loved exactly as he would if we were home! Love, E, C & R"

"Thanks, Kim.  You are so wonderful!  Here's the thing -- you're setting the bar really high.  The problem here is that if you ever move or stop walking dogs for any reason, I won't be able to replace you!" Mike W.

"I just wanted to let you know how great it is to come home and not feel guilty about being at work all day.  I know Aspen is in great hands and having a great time!  You are the best dog walker! Lauren H.

"Doogie just got his yearly check up and guess what, he is down a few pounds!  Of course, I can't really take credit.  I told the vet it must be his weekly "wagger" dog play group.  The vet said whatever it is keep it up!  Thanks for being such a great dog walker! Danielle, V.

"Bogey is so happy to be a part of the Wags for Walks family! He absolutely loves Kim, Newton and his other furry friends. Knowing that he is having a great time, getting plenty of excercise, and is well cared for makes me so at ease during my work day."  Steph C.

"Kim, you are the best!  I can't believe you were able to tire out Dexter!  Dexter is almost 2 and I have never been able to wear him out. Now that he goes to his Wagger Playgroups, he comes home and actually sleeps!  It is so nice to have some time for myself to do some work.  Thank you!" Joey C.

"Hi Kim, I would love to write a testimonial for your page.  We are so happy that we found you guys!  Jack seems to really love his days with Amanda :)  Thank you so much for everything!   The dog shop down the street would like to hang your card on their wall for customers, I told them all about you!" Claire and Mike"Kim, thank you so much for the pictures.  Thank you soooo much for everything. I appreciate that you work with my schedule so that Hank doesnt have to wait for me too long in the afternoon.  Hank is really happy and he is being good with obedience training. He is learning stay and down right now. He is still a little stubborn and likes to snap sometimes but i think his stubbornness is just his way of communication - we are getting better at it.  Ok Kim - take care - you and Shannon do a great job!  Now i would recommend Wags4Walks not for the free walk - but because I know your team is stellar."  Bassel "Words cannot express our appreciation for your hard work, dedication and love for our dog, Charlie.  You are a hero.  He is resting comfortably at Vetcision, and we hope to bring him home in the next couple of days.  I know you will never take credit for your swift and accurate diagnosis of Charlie’s health, but we give thanks you were here to help us.  And we give thanks that Charlie is still here. " Teri G. 

" Kim, you are a lifesaver! I have to tell you that Maisy slept yesterday from 2:30-7:30 and then conked out again around 10:00... also for the first time EVER she was not up at 5:15 this morning. I had to wake her up at 6:45 andshe was on the pillow snoring away. Talk about immediate satisfaction! You are the best and the pics are great! Thanks so much!" Meridith G 

"We can’t say enough about Kim and Wags 4 Walks. Our dog, Zoey, has a much more fulfilling week now thanks to Kim. And she has a new best friend! My family and I feel so lucky to have found such a caring and responsible person to help care for our dog. Thank you!" Mary N

"Victor loves his time with the other dogs, and being in the group has helped him grow from a lively 4 month old puppy to a healthy, happy, well-behaved pup of nearly 8 months.  Victor is our first dog and we didn't know what to expect, and we've been thrilled with the Wags4Walks service. The puppy playgroups and field trips have been perfect for him -- he is so tired and happy when he gets home, and he has learned fundamental social skills and good behavior from the other wagger dogs. We trust Wags implicitly with our little guy, as they are always accessible, responsive, polite, and cheerful." Kathryn D

"I am so glad that I was introduced to Wags 4 Walks. As with most dog owners that look for services that W4W provides, I love my little one to death and her health and lifestyle are of the utmost importance to me. Knowing how well she is treated and how much fun she has while under the care of W4W brings me great joy, not to mention how comfortable I can feel at work knowing she is out and about. It is clear that all of the W4W staff go above and beyond what they need to do because they genuinely WANT to do more. Just seeing my dog's reaction when Kim walks through the door is enough of a testimonial for me. :) -Brendon K. "

 "Congratulations!!!  You have officially done something no one else has!  You have completely exhausted Jake!  He is wiped out :)He is definitely making progress - and it's all because of you.  We really can't thank you enough.  Dave and I are the most grateful owners, !!" Ali and Dave

"I really wanted to say thank you for taking Brady into your group! I am so happy and I love the fact that I don't have to worry when he is out with you. I know he can be super hyper sometimes and Ijust appreciate the fact that you understand that and are able to handle it in the right way! Thanks again for everything...I wish I could afford 5 days a week because I would definitely do it!!" Karen H

"Hi Kim, Mia absolutely loves spending time you during the day! We are so relieved to have you guys come and take her out. Brenden and I were so worried about how she’d do since she’s just a puppy, but she’s getting so much exercise and is in such great spirits when we get home from work. We love that you are as concerned with her well being as we are and that you’re so flexible in the programs that you offer. We can’t thank you enough and are thrilled to have Mia be a wagger”  Thanks! Lisa

Hi Kim - Henry was suitably tired when I came home today and you had left a lovely long note for me detailing the day. So please pass on my thanks for that and for tending to 'my boy' so well. I was very happy at work knowing he was going to be loved and appreciated! I was thinking of why I chose to go with your company rather than the other's I had met with (and side from the weirdoes I encountered..!) I feel it came down to your personality (I described you today as the Sex and the City of Dog walkers.. I hope you don't mind!) and because you personally came to meet with me rather than sending someone else. So thank you for venturing out on a cold dark night and spending so much time getting to know Henry and myself. I wish you all the best with your company - it's a bold and wholly admirable step to have taken, well done."  Lucie

"I am so very grateful that Kim has started up Wags 4 Walks. Wags  takes such good care of Bailey during the day. Having had so much trouble with Bailey in her first year with her immune system, I was very concerned with the doggie park they would be going to.  After taking Bailey there one Saturday I was relieved to see that the park was clean and very well kept.  On the days Bailey goes to doggie play group she seems to be worn out (that is not an easy thing to do).  Bailey has found some loving friends for life at Wags 4 Walks.  As for me,  I am less stressed at work knowing Bailey is being well cared for.  Thank you so very much for all you do!!! " Liz R.

"I can’t wait to move to the suburbs so that Jack can join the awesome playgroups that you offer. Even though you see Jack part time, when he is at my parents’ house in Needham , he misses you and is always so excited to see you.  I really appreciate and admire your energy, devotion and love towards the pups that you take care of. "  Rita W.

"Kim, I can't tell you how great it feels knowing Saranac is getting so much love and care from you and Katrina.  I love your detailed notes and the extra things you both do.  I really appreciate you cleaning up after Saranac when he has accidents in the house.  You guys are the best! Liz Y."

 "Our dogs were totally great when we got home on.  If they had been cooped up, without exercise, they would have been wired to see us.  Instead they were lackadaisical and bored with us.  Thank you!" Rita & Cliff G

"Thank you so much for being so nice to us!  You are so different from other dog walkers I have had.  I can certainly see your business grow with your sincere attitute. I'm super positive that people will appreciate it and refer to others.  I will do that too!" Tami F.

"I am so happy I found Wags 4 Walks.  Actually, I should say Wyatt is so happy I found Wags 4 Walks.  He loves going to his doggie playgroup.  He waits by the door and as soon as he hears Kim, he does a little dance!  Thank you!" Corey

"Thank you for taking such good care of Nekisha on such short notice.  I appreciate your concern for Nekisha and value your kindness."  Tanya
