Mary and her team have done incredible work with our anxious, reactive rescue dog. She's taken time and used excellent training techniques to gain trust, and allow our dog to get exercise, enjoy outdoor time, and actually socialize in a safe, positive way. This, in combination with regular training, have made a significant improvement in his quality of life and tolerance of other people and other dogs. We cannot recommend them enough, especially if you have a dog who had issues with reactivity or anxiety. They are amazing!

Mary and her team are the top dogs in South Boston!After our long-term dog walker moved out of town, I was at a loss until I found Hounds in the Hub. I was anxious about establishing a new routine after so many years (and with such a quirky pup lol), but Mary was so professional and communicative about her business and services. It was super easy to set up a meet and greet and just go from there!I love the fact that requests are run through a simple, easy app. It provides great flexibility and helps avoid any miscommunications about scheduling. Plus, the photos and the notes from the walks are highlights of my day! And, of course, there is always the option to reach out directly for ad-hoc / special circumstances as well.Every member of the team maintains that same level of professionalism and care. Talking with other dog owners in the neighborhood, you hear that not every walking service is as kind or safe with animals. It just reaffirmed over and over that Hounds in the Hub was absolutely the right choice. My girl, Blue, is sociable, but often aloof. I have felt totally comfortable that everyone on the team was comfortable with her (pack walks or solo) and that is most important to me. And that’s not including the numerous times and ways that the crew went above and beyond the call of duty, spoiling her rotten!If you need a dog walker / walking services in Southie look no further!

We were recommended Hounds in the Hub from a desperate Facebook post asking for help with our foster pup Tokyo. Tokyo is very fearful of new people to the point we couldn’t have strangers in the house. We were looking for someone to work with us to get him to a point that he would go for daily walks and overnights. Mary, the owner, was nothing short of a God send. She worked with Tokyo building his confidence with endless patience and lots of treats! She was able to tailor walks for him in the beginning, moving around her own schedule to make sure he had the time he needed. Tokyo is now a happy and thriving member of the Hounds in the Hub pack! It is because of Mary and her team that we were able to make Tokyo a permanent member of our family and we are forever grateful!

A great walking service. All the walkers are so excited to see my pup each day. I love getting the pictures after each walk. The platform is really easy to use and I really appreciate their ability to accommodate my last-minute walk requests!

The first few months I used hounds in the hub I had no issues with any dog walkers, but that's because the owner Mary had never walked him. The two times Mary watched my puppy did I have issues. She lost him in someone else's yard during a puppy play session and I received a call from a stranger that my 6 month old puppy was found on the street of Dorchester and she didn't even know. Later she admitted she isolated him alone from all the other dogs because he was dirty. I had to ask to be compensated for that day for losing my puppy. She then said she would comp the next few walks and never did. The second time she walked him she didn't take any pictures or write a report. When asked if she walked him, she claimed her dog stepped on her phone charger the night prior so her phone was dead the whole day. Then sent me a screenshot of being at my apartment for 13 minutes total when I scheduled and paid for a 30 minute walk. I felt like my poor puppy was very unsafe in the hands of Mary, and even worse that she is the owner.

We truly cannot express how grateful we are to have Mary and the Hounds in the Hub team. Mary has been walking and providing overnight care for our dogs Daffy and Gus for several years now. Our Gus is fearful of many people and can be very reactive to new dogs. Before we found Mary, we had very few people that we’d trust to care for Gus. But Mary has been incredible - not only do we totally trust her with them, but she has gone so far above and beyond to help us make so much positive progress with Gus. She has helped introduce him to many new doggy friends and really grown his confidence. Mary and her team provide so much more than dog walks and boarding - they provide customized care for our best friends. We cannot recommend Hounds in the Hub highly enough!

I am so grateful for Mary, Rachel, and their amazing team - they been a life saver for us!! We have used them for solo walks, group walks, and overnight stays. They are quick to respond to inquiries, reliable, and send very thorough updates with the cutest pictures! When my dog tweaked her back, HITH was super flexible and made sure to accommodate to her unique needs. They are just the best!

Mary and her team at hounds and the hub are the best! They have been walking my dog Lilo for the past 2 years, since she was just a puppy! Mary and her team are responsive, reliable, and always take the best care of Lilo, and she always has the best time. I trust she’s in great hands while I’m busy at work. They always send an update through an app after her walk with lots of cute pictures. So glad I found hounds in the hub!

Mary and her team were awesome from day 1. She was prompt with pick up, communication, and attentive to Apollo’s needs. Apollo seems very excited to see her and the friends she brings. I would highly recommend Hounds in the hub if your looking for quality dog care.

Hounds in the Hub has made moving to Boston more enjoyable for us. Rio, my 3 year old boxer, is always excited to be picked up! She comes home “pooped” (perfect) and I don’t need to worry she’s been well cared for. Rio’s had long play/walk days, short play/walk day and even over nights! It’s been great to go sight seeing with company and feel good that Rio is happy too!

Hounds in the Hub, run by the amazing Mary, has been walking my dog Cash for the past three years. Mary and her teams genuine love for dogs and unwavering dedication shine through in every interaction. Cash adores her, and I trust her completely with his care. The attention to detail and personalized care she provides are exceptional. Mary's reliability and punctuality give me peace of mind. The bond she has formed with Cash is truly heartwarming. The communication and transparency at Hounds in the Hub are outstanding, keeping me connected and informed. I can't thank Mary and Hounds in the Hub enough for the happiness they've brought to Cash's life. If you're looking for a heartfelt dog walking service, I highly recommend Hounds in the Hub. They are simply the best.

Mary's instagram page brought us to Hounds in the Hub but the exceptional care she provides our dog, Theo, is why we stay! After a stretch of bad experiences and with a lot of behavioral baggage in tow we were thrilled to find Mary and the entire Hounds in the Hub crew (big shout out to Chip, master of offbeat off-leash adventures!). Every member of Mary's team goes above and beyond to make sure that Theo's excursions are fun, safe and enriching. Mary truly does treat every pup like her own and Hounds in the Hub offers a level of professionalism, reliability and care that is unmatched from our perspective. We cannot say enough good things about the Hounds in the Hub team!
