BOSTON MAGAZINE March 2010:

Founded in 2003 and fast beloved, the Urban Hound serves Beacon Hill, the Back Bay, the South End, and South Boston with group and individual walks, as well as play groups and field trips in a raucously dog-manic company van. Kitty care? You bet. Upping the convenience factor, clients can manage their appointments and payments online via Betta-Walka Pro software, developed right here in Boston. And in May, owner Rebecca Wilson expands with a luxury pet-care center in the South End. Starting at $15/30 minutes (group) $18/20 minutes (individual); 617-775-5775, urbanhounds.com
