Lucky Dog/MonumenTails Pet Services

I truly can’t say enough about Mila and the gang at Lucky Dog! We had made several arrangements with a few other dog walking/​day care services and really weren’t pleased. They were inconsistent, constantly changing walkers, or just flat out awful. When I contacted Mila last October, she came over and met Hairy personally before he started out and Mike has been
. walker we could have asked for! He’s been Hairy’s walker for almost a year now, and he leaves informative, great notes so we know exactly what’s going on each day and Mila is so great at getting right back to you for scheduling/​cancellations/​etc. and she’s super flexible when things come up last minute. And the group walks have been perfect — a great option for socialization! And there’s really something for everyone in terms of budget and options for your pooch.
You’ll be a lucky dog if your dog become a Lucky Dog :)

Great experience with Mila and Kristin! Mila was flexible to add extra walks or shift our time slot when our pup came down with Addison’s Disease. And you can’t get a better walker than Kristin! She loves Hunter like her own dog, leaves wonderful notes with fun highlights and sends photos. She’s the best!

My dog has been enjoying the group walks at Lucky Dog for a few years. The team is very reliable and professional and most importantly LOVES dogs. They are very accommodating of different needs and requests, and are there to help on a short notice.
The staff doesn’t change very often, so my dog gets to see a familiar face that he knows and loves every noon.
I’m very picky with my dog’s care givers, and I 100% trust the Lucky Dog team!

I can’t say enough great things about Lucky Dog. Mila and Kristin are absolutely wonderful and have been professional, caring, and available throughout. There are many different options — from park play to potty breaks — something for everyone and every budget. I really appreciate the notes Jeff and Mike leave after every visit. My dog has some food allergies and sometimes has an upset stomach, so these notes help give me a heads up or sigh of relief that his day and walk went well. The peace of mind is invaluable!
I am so grateful and «lucky» to be a Lucky Dogger!

I have two dogs and one is high maintenance. I am very pleased with Lucky Dog overall and with the 2 regular caregivers. Scheduling, payment, overnights — it’s all easy, dependable and friendly!

I’ve been using Lucky since July and have been very happy with my choice! I have my golden walked twice a week and have not had one problem. However, the reason I love this team so much is their flexibility. I foster rescued dogs and Lucky has been more than accommodating to my ever changing dog of the week. I truly appreciate their willingness to support what I do. This shows me this business is driven by their love of dogs and these are the people you want handling your beloved pup!

We have been using Lucky Dog to walk our puppy for about 4 months and couldn’t be happier. Mila & Kristen are so great to work with in regards to the schedule and are always accommodating to changes, and our walkers (Jeff & Mark) have been incredible. They leave detailed notes (including little funny things she does, or the kind of mood she was in) out every day to let us know how our dog did, and seem to really love hanging out with her while we’re at work. They have also made training much easier for us. They’re not only reliable and trustworthy, but they honestly seem to really enjoy what they do. Highly recommend!

Lucky Dog Pet Services gets hundreds of gold stars and a huge Woof from our Newfoundland Nellie. Everyone I have interacted with has been terrific and I truly think they are some of the most caring individuals I have ever worked with since becoming a dog owner. Mila, BOTH Kristins and of course our Newfie’s favorite boyfriend Tony are all wonderful to work with in every way…

My pupster and I have been Lucky Dog customers for about a year now and Mila and her team are AMAZING. They are always so thoughtful, nice, honest, and always on time. They are also incredibly flexible so if I am able to be home last minute to take my dog out, they have no issue if I call them off for the day. I love the notes that they leave every day telling me who she walked with, what she did (or didn’t do!) and what kind of mood she was in. I would recommend Lucky Dog 100 times over to any dog owner looking for a caring service to walk your dog.
Also, Mila has taken my puppy for the weekend and she came back well rested and very happy:). I am always very comfortable leaving my dog in their care.

Mila and MJ are great — as everyone else has said, they’re flexible, they leave daily reports and they are true dog lovers. After a couple years of walking our pup, they became such an important part of her (and our) life, and when we had to put our little girl down, they came and sat with her in her last hours, giving her all the bellyrubs and ear-​scratches she wanted. They are so kind, so compassionate and totally responsible — worthy of your darling dogs!

Mila and the crew at Lucky Dog treat my beagle mix Mrs. Beasley with love and care. I never have to worry about her and they are so professional. She loves Tony and MJ as much as they love her!

Lucky dog is more than a dog walking service. They have become part of my dogs life. We have no guilt leaving Frank home while we are at work because I know Danielle will be there to take him out to play with all his friends and even to take care of him if he is sick. Danielle is the Best!
Thanks to all the people at Lucky Dog for caring!

I can’t really say anything more glowing than what has already been said about Mila and Lucky Dog, but I’ll have a stab at it. We did a lot of research regarding who to trust with walking our Cattle Dog puppy, given our schedules and the potential shyness/​aloofness of the breed towards strangers. Our first visit with Mila and Justin went without a hitch, and they were welcomed with lots of wags and kisses by our pup every time they came by to get her walks in. Add in a lot of flexibility in terms of scheduling and a very reasonable price, and you have an unbeatable service.
Overall, a very professional business with great folks that know what they are doing; most important of all, they truly love dogs. Your pups are in good hands with Lucky Dog!

I have never been happier with a service. Mila and her team walked my Shar Pei for about 3 years. I have a nightmare schedule that is always up and down. Mila was great about fitting her in and accepting any form of communication from me (sorry for the 10pm texts). The team was also very in tuned to Gabby’s needs. After behavioral training, Lucky Dog used the training tips to assure Gabby had consistency whether or not I was there to enforce it. They also ran her to the vet when she had a seizure while I commuted back from work. The worst part about moving out of Davis Square was that Gabby and I are no longer in the limits of Lucky Dog services.

I took my puppy out for a walk and I was so proud of myself — I remembered to pick up her clicker and her treats as I put her leash on. But as soon as I shut the door behind me, I realized that I had forgotten my keys! Fortunately, we had just signed up with Lucky Dog Pet Services, and had given Mila a set of keys. My boyfriend called Mila to tell her the situation and she immediately sent Kelly to rescue me. Both Mila and Kelly are sweet and enthusiastic, and their love of dogs really shines through. Mila has been quick to respond to our e-​mails and phone calls, and even sent a text message to let my boyfriend know that our spare keys were on their way. We knew we had made a good choice but this experience really proves it. I know that Hobie will be in good hands with Mila and the Lucky Dog team!

I am the type of person who will not trust his dogs with just anyone. Mila & her team have a genuine love of animals and it really shows in their interaction with my boys. As the other reviewers have stated, they are reliable, responsible, and stand head and shoulders above the other dog-​walking companies in the Cambridge area.
After some extensive research prior to choosing a dogsitting provider, I heard some real horror stories about other companies including lost dogs, giving half-​ass walks, or mistreating the animals, but praise of Lucky Dog was both unanimous & seemingly heart-​felt from everyone I talked to! Now that I am also a happy customer, I would recommend them to anyone looking for dog-​walking services in this area.
I should also mention that one of my dogs is very shy with strangers, yet within minutes, it was like he and Mila were old friends! Her & her staff really know how to deal with any type dog personality & special needs are handled with out any problems.
I think one of the other reviewers said it best: «really nice people who clearly love dogs!»

Mila and her team are amazing and I’ve been using them for over a year! I read their notes as soon as I come walk in the door. I can cancel the morning of (no other walkers allow that and people do call get sick and stay home from work). If something comes up, I can have her boarded (at Mila’s) picked up and dropped off. I had my brother stay with me for 2 months, and they had no issues walking 2 extra boston terriers at a moment’s notice. Excellent service and I’ve been through 2 others…

Mila and Lucky Dog walk our dog on a regular schedule. Great service! Never an issue. Love that they understand that sometimes things come up and you have to cancel. They allow you to cancel a walk up to the day of the walk. I normally cancel the morning of her walk and they are fine with it. LOVE THAT! They also don’t give you crap about it or charge you needlessly like some other companies. Mila and her walkers are very personable and we know that our dog is in EXCELLENT hands. Love the notes they leave after the walk to let us know how it went. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! :)

Mila and Mark from Lucky Dog have been walking my Frenchie for quite awhile now and they are great. Extremely responsible, reliable, and flexible… but best of all, just really nice people who clearly love dogs. Highly recommended!
