Fido’s Gotta Go

Tony and his team are absolutely fantastic. Trustworthy, caring folks who you can trust your pet with. If you’re in Logan and need someone to care for your pup, call Tony. Your pet will get the exercise and socialization that you may not always be able to give them due to busy schedules. A+, for sure.

My husband and I recently moved to Chicago from Boston and were so sad for our vizsla fletcher to leave his wonderful Boston play group. We read about this business on Unilocal and these reviews could not be more accurate! Tony came to our condo the same night we contacted him and fletcher immediately loved him (we thought he was pretty cool too). Tony sends us multiple pictures every day fletch is on a walk, along with an update of how he did with his friends. This is totally above and beyond a typical dog walker and my husband and I are so excited to hear about Fletcher’s friends and see him in action. If you’re looking for a reliable and super cool dog walking company, I would recommend fido’s gotta go to anyone!

I honestly cannot say enough good things about Anthony and his dog walking service. I am so grateful to him and to Unilocal for bringing such a kind, competent, and responsible dog walker into our lives! My Rudy is a handful and Daisy is very ill, so I needed someone who knew AND loved dogs, and the very SECOND Anthony walked into my home for our first «meet and greet,» I knew he was perfect (he got down on the ground with my dogs to make them feel less threatened). My Rudy in particular does not like men and he sidled right up to Anthony and they were fast friends.
After seeing all those horrific YouTube videos about what dog walkers can do to your dogs when you’re not home, I was extremely worried about trusting my dogs to a stranger, but I work long hours and I wanted to introduce someone into their lives we call could trust. Anthony sends me texts with photos after EVERY walk, checks their water, and makes sure the dogs are happy and healthy after each visit.
In sum, Anthony and his company are a Godsend. Of all my reviews on Unilocal,this is one of my best. I would give them 10 stars if I could. If you need a dog walker, seriously, search no further.

Love Love LOVE Tony! And so do my pups. My schedule is totally erratic and weird, but he is able to work around it and walk my pups with never enough notice at the times I need. That is proof of his super-​hero-​ness.
Most importantly though is his way with animals. I knew I would hire him the minute he came over because my dogs ran up to him like he was an old friend. That’s some good energy going on there. This is important for me because my dogs are not easy to walk. One is super nervous around everything, and the other wants to smell or eat everything in her path. But Tony not only manages to walk them well, but is making it so I can walk them more easily. What sort of magic is that?
Finally, I love the text photos and updates I get after each walk. The pics make it clear my dogs are having a great time.
So between all of this and his very reasonable rates, I highly recommend Fido’s Gotta Go.

Anthony and his team are absolutely amazing! We cannot say enough good things about Fido’s Gotta Go and the incredible job they do for our girls! We especially love the constant stream of updates we get while we are away — texts and pictures of our girls after their walks and play time We don’t trust our girls with anyone but Anthony and his team — we 100% recommend them to anyone!
Anthony was even sweet enough to pick up our Boston, Lucy, from our wedding after she hung out during cocktail hour — we seriously can’t thank him enough!

Anthony has been doing an awesome job taking care of our new puppy! There is really nothing better than getting puppy pics and updates while at work ;) He always cleans up accidents if there are any, gives her fresh water, and basically gives us peace of mind when we are at work. He is also accomodating with our home security system, and always locks up when done. I don’t have to worry about a thing. What a great service. Would happily recommend Fido’s gotta go.

Anthony is the dog whisperer. Extremely accommodating. He’s excellent with dogs and people. He takes my dog to the park every day… rain, shine, or snow. And always follows up with a recap text and photos, which are great to get at work. Very reasonably priced. Can’t recommend more.

I Love Fido’s gotta go! Tony is the best and my dog loves when he takes him out for walks or group dog hangs!
Tony’s hours are great and has helped out with last minute «emergencies» and my varying schedule. He is very accommodating and is always happy to help.
Since using Tony, my dog has become better at leash skills. He takes the time to train my dog.
I have recommended him to friends and will continue to do so!
It doesn’t get better than Fido’s gotta go!

Tony is the best, incredibly accommodating even at the last minute. My dog Otis loved spending time with him and always comes home well exercised and exhausted. Very professional, caring and personable. Lucky to have found him!

Tony is awesome!!! My dog Mia just loves him and I really do trust him. He’s always willing to work with me and my chaotic always changing work schedule. He comes at all hours of the day. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone!
And he always sends you post walk updates and pictures, which just brightens my day!

Anthony really is as good as it gets when it comes to caring for dogs. He just returned our Boston Terrier after she stayed with him for 5 days. While we were gone, he walked her numerous times a day, took her to dog parks and, most importantly, interacted with her and the other dogs to ensure they all had fun being dogs while acting appropriately (my dog has a tendency to dominate other dogs but under Anthony’s supervision, she was able to have successful experiences with many other kinds of dogs in various environments).
While we were gone, Anthony was very conscientious about keeping us updated on our dog, with lots of photos and a daily summary of her health and behavior.
Would recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone who wants someone who obviously loves and respects dogs to walk/​care for theirs.

I am so glad I found Fido’s Gotta Go among all the dog walkers with high ratings on Unilocal.With its long range of daily hours and reasonable prices, it was a great fit for our needs. My dog loves Anthony and I fully trust my dog in his care! He is very punctual, communicative, flexible and just seems like such a nice guy all around. I like that he includes a trip to the dog park or playground as part of the walk. We will certainly be using his services again!

Anthony is AWESOME!!! I can’t say enough about how grateful I am to have found him. He is so wonderful with my Daisy Mae and flexible with my crazy unpredictable schedule. I love getting the pictures he sends of her beautiful smiling face. If you want someone you can trust taking care of your canine family, you’ll love Anthony!

Tony and his brother are incredible! Our dog, Auggie, has had some altercations while at the dog park with us and we were mortified and stopped taking her. But she is also full of energy and so loveable. When we hired Tony, we expected calls about her getting into a fight. But never! Tony really knows how to work with any type of dog and puts forth so much time and energy. Rest assured he is actively playing with your dog at the park and not just sitting in the corner. Though he will be snapping a few pics to send you each day (which is awesome!) Recently, Tony agreed to let us come with him on a Sunday afternoon to teach us about Auggie. He spent over an hour at the park with us and other dogs and we are so much more confident now. We can’t wait to bring her to the park again and are so thankful Tony does for us four days a week! Clearly, we can’t say enough good things!!!

We used Tony over the 2014 Holiday to watch our two cats. The simplest way to put it is that he was absolutely wonderful.
After a brief meet and greet, I could tell he was going to get along with both kitties and he didn’t treat them with the sort of reverent fear I’ve seen other sitters use when you’re there to view it. He was perfectly comfortable picking them up (they like being held and I’d said as much) and petting them. We got adorable pictures everyday we were out of town and easy constant communication. He even had a festive surprise photoshoot on Christmas for us that made being away from the cats far more tolerable. His rates are also so extremely affordable, I was shocked because most cat sitters are $ 5 more and don’t guarantee a consistent time to come by or how much time they’ll be able to spend with your cats.
We’ll 100% be using Fido’s Gotta Go in the future and I’ve basically been singing his praises to all my pet-​owning friends.

Our dogs LOVE Anthony! One of our dogs does not get along very well with strangers. Since he’s a pitbull, it can be rather intimidating when he’s growling at you. After a week of Anthony not giving up on him, he was hooked! They are both always stoked to see him walk through the door.
The Pet Check technology He offers is also very cool in the fact I can get live updates at my desk and feedback from each visit.
Anthony has been a godsend for us especially not giving up on our difficult «child» while some other walkers we tried previously said no. He has been walking our dogs about 11 months now and has always been 100% reliable. I can’t recommend him enough!

Tony is truly a pet owner/lover’s dream. I owned, adored, and spoiled two cats (Shadow and Savannah) for over 15 years. A couple months ago, I had to put Shadow down. Needless to say, that rattled my world and Savannah and I are still adjusting. In addition to that stressor, Savannah was recently diagnosed with hyperthyroid and she has to take medication in the morning and in the evening.
I used to leave my cats alone while on vaca because they had each other and grazed on food and water. After 15 years, that was no longer an option. I had a week long vacation planned in September that I honestly considered canceling, but a trusted friend recommended Tony so I contacted him and decided to meet up; after that meeting I would listen to my gut and decide whether or not to take the trip.
The moment I met Tony I felt a connection and level of trust that immediately put me at ease. I knew he would care for Savannah the way I needed to give me peace of mind.
I went on my trip and he wooed my little girl all week. She was smitten (keep in mind, she didn’t even come out for the previous cat sitter from another Unilocal listed pet sitting service, whom I had tried out a few weeks earlier for a shorter trip), but with Tony, Savannah snuggled right up. I know this because he sent me pics during each visit and comments about their interaction. He made Savannah feel loved and safe. Of course, he also picked up my mail, emptied the litter box, and gave her the medication exactly as instructed. His service … priceless!
I highly-​highly recommend Tony and will definitely hire him again and again and again!

I can’t say enough about how much we love Tony. He is the absolute best. Our pup, Jelly, is a rescue, and when we tried to take her to doggy daycare, she didn’t do well, because she played too rough with the other dogs. I read Unilocal reviews for Tony that said he did well with other «aggressive» rescues, so we thought we would give him a try. Not only is Jelly obsessed with him, but he has been so comforting to us, reassuring us that no, she’s not aggressive or mean or anything, she just never learned how to follow social cues from other dogs because she grew up in a shelter.
Tony walks Jelly several times a week, and she has made huge progress in how she interacts with other dogs. She loves all her friends, and always comes home a little worn out, which is almost impossible to say about our super high energy pup. He is so accommodating with our weird schedules, and he sends us the cutest pics of Jelly and her pack every time he takes her. I don’t know where we would be without him!

Tony is a life saver. We had previously taken our rescue dog to a day care but she didn’t do well there because they said that she was being vicious towards other dogs. Tony was very thorough in explaining that a lot of rescue dogs and working dogs just tend to play rough and with proper socialization, she would be fine.
She is now best friends with the rest of her pack and loves to play tug-​of-​war, run around, and every time Tony comes over, I can’t stop her from going nuts! She’s always well worn out (and this is a dog that’s FULL of energy) and Tony is always very accommodating with his schedule. I can’t say how happy that I am that we’ve found him.
EDIT: He also is great at updating you throughout the day and texting pictures of the walk. Seriously the highlight of my day!

There aren’t enough words of praise I can give Tony. He is absolutely fantastic with my dog, Bear and it is just very clear that he has a just as much love as Bear does for him.
Firstly, Tony is incredibly flexible. Being a new teacher that works pretty far from home, I have a crazy work schedule. Tony has been so accommodating with all my last-​minute needs, from walking to daycare to boarding. Tony has been such a clutch for the well-​being of Bear, and he knows all of his needs and habits.
Secondly, Tony is incredibly professional. He does great tracking of his business with you and your dog, which culminates in a very user-​friendly invoice every month that he charges on a card (with great flexibility). He builds great rapport with his clients, and offers great deals for those who use his services frequently. He is also very trustworthy and makes sure he sends a friendly text with a photo describing the daily events.
Lastly, Tony is very obviously passionate about his customers’ dogs and treats them like they are his own. It was obvious from day 1 that Bear and Tony were going to get along and Tony has done a wonderful job helping figure out how to crate train Bear and socialize my pup to other dogs. He is very careful and intentional with every move he makes with your dog and it truly feels like Tony is part of your family.
I can’t rave enough about Tony! He is truly a blessing to Bear and I and we are so very lucky to have him. We highly recommend Fido’s Gotta Go to any dog owner who truly wants the best for their best friends.
