It all started with Smith.

He's the best dog we could imagine and it’s he who motivated us to start our own business. It really helped that we all have so much in common:

  • He loves long walks - so do we!

  • We didn't enjoy working in an office - neither did he!

  • We love dogs - he's a dog!

  • We wanted to be our own boss - so did he!

  • He is highly motivated by food - as are we!

  • We love living in JP - and so does he!


Our Mission Statement

Boston Fetch represents a diverse and inclusive community of animal lovers dedicated to the care and safety of your furry family members. Community, compassion, your pet’s health and joy motivate us to be Boston's best choice for daily pet care.
