Protect Your Pet From Ticks and Fleas This Fall

At Boston Fetch we like to take our dog walks off-road every once in a while. Our dogs love stepping off the sidewalk and taking a relaxing hike through nature.

As the crisp autumn air rolls in, it’s important to remember that flea and tick season isn’t over yet. Though the colors of those crunchy, fallen leaves are full of New England charm, they can obscure the last of the season's tick hatchlings and lend us a false sense of security. These pesky parasites can still pose a threat to your furry friend - even after the ground frosts over a few times. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you prepare your dog for flea and tick season this fall.

Say Hello to a Pet Care Pro! An interview with Kate Cornell

Kate has been with Boston Fetch since April of this year and her talent as a dog handler and good vibes as a coworker are being noticed. In fact, Kate has recently taken over Saturday management duties at Boston Fetch’s Roslindale office - good work, Kate! Since Kate is taking her talents down the Orange Line into Roslindale I thought we’d take a moment to get to know her a little bit better.

Living Their Best Lives: Dogs and Cats with Health Conditions and Physical Impairments

Boston Fetch is built on a foundation of equality and inclusivity. It’s important to us that every dog and cat have the ability to play, socialize, exercise and be loved by the most talented pet care professionals in the industry and the best pack of furry friends in Boston. While most of our pack live without visible disabilities we want to extend a paw to all pets living with physical impairments, those who may be living with mental illness, or dogs or cats with a biological illnesses to join the fun!

Dogs Don’t Judge

Since I was young, I have found friends in animals. I think many can say the same of me! We seek out the cheer and playfulness of dogs, the peace and warmth of cats, the curiosity and comfort of little critters. I’ve found while working for Boston Fetch a new reason to love the company of pets, as well as the benefits of working for this once small but rapidly expanding business.

*EXCLUSIVE* An Interview with Smith - The Face (and Talent) of Boston Fetch

The blog division scored a big win this week when the face of Boston Fetch agreed to his first “SIT” down interview with our journalists following the successful marketing campaign that brought his confident and kind portrait into every home in Boston. A golden haired whirlwind of infectious charm and incomparable talent, this magnificent retriever was destined for greatness - though he, a self proclaimed very humble and extremely good dog, would never tell you that. With his effortless demeanor and good ol’ fashion American folkiness, you and I know him as Smith, because that’s his name. A hero amongst the dogs of Boston, we believe that in time this hero will become legend and his story will be told here.

Say Hello to a Pet Care Pro! An Interview with Julia Smead of Boston Fetch

Welcome to the inaugural Boston Fetch Pet Care Pro interview series - highlighting the best and brightest dog walkers and cat sitters this side (and the other) of the Mississippi.

My Life with Ray, the blind wonder-mutt!

Notice anything different about Ray? Sure, that brindle coat is next-level handsome, but did you realize he is completely blind? It’s true, take another gander at those peepers. You see it now, right? Ray is six years old now, and was born with a degenerative disease in his corneas that caused ulcers that robbed him of his sight earlier in life. Normally ulcers like his could be treatable, but being a street mutt, he likely had no one to take care of his medical needs and as such, now he’s blind.
