Penny’s Dog Walking

We used Penny’s Dog Walking service for about a year while we were living in Melrose (near Oak Grove). They took excellent care of our yellow labrador retriever, Piper. I agree with the previous reviewer… we could not have been happier with their service. Penny and her husband, Chris, came over and met with us prior to taking Piper on as a client. This way our dog was comfortable come time her scheduled walks and allowed us to meet them and added that personal touch.
Penny is extremely organized, very responsive and flexible — all great qualities and super helpful when it comes to scheduling. There were several times during snow storms this past winter that our dog was scheduled to go to doggy daycare and at the last minute they had to close their facility due to weather. With a quick call or e-​mail to Penny, she was able to fit Piper in for her usual walks that day, which was a huge lifesaver. Another thing we appreciated was, anytime our dog had to have a change in walker, we were notified ahead of time to ensure it was okay and if we wanted to meet them ahead of time.
I would definitely recommend Penny, Chris and her dog walkers in the Melrose area. I wish they serviced Stoneham… because if they did, we would still be using them! I felt very safe leaving our dog and apartment keys with such a genuine and trustworthy group! They treated our pup like one of their own!

We’ve been using Penny’s Dog Walking since February for our golden retriever puppy, Oswald, and couldn’t be happier with the service. The walkers come twice a day at this point to walk and play with Oswald. All of the walkers have been great and leave notes with daily updates on the dog. The walkers have also brought along their children in some instances, which we think is great because it helps with the socialization process (especially since my husband and I don’t have children). They’ve also done some training with our puppy, which is obviously very appreciated!
All in all, I would definitely recommend Penny and her dog walkers to anyone in the area who is looking for someone kind and trustworthy to walk their furry, four-​legged family member.
