We had a wonderful experience at Rachel and Simon’s home and with their sweet and loving pets. Simon welcomed us, gave us a tour, and left detailed directions and notes. Their home was clean and tidy and ready for us. We enjoyed hanging out in the comfy and open living space with their wonderful pups, Lily and Mac (and kitty, Barney). Our kids also enjoyed the yard and basketball hoop. Rachel and Simon were also great and very responsive with communication. The pets! All three pets were so sweet and loving. Even the cat was talkative and social. We really enjoyed our time with them and giving them lots of love and attention. They were also easy to care for and feed. Lily and Mac were great on the walks. Both dogs loved walking (and their naps afterwards!). And the walks in Bradford-on-Avon are wonderful! This town is a hidden gem of beauty. Rachel and family live at the top of a beautiful hilly area. Right around and below them are lovely and postcard pretty walks. Not only is the town picturesque, but lots of great historical sites to visit, cute cafes, restaurants, green spaces, etc. We did not have a car, but Bradford-on-Avon is a very walkable town and easily accessible via train. Close to Bath (which we visited prior to our sit). There is a smaller grocery store right next door, and a larger one walking distance (if you don’t mind a longer walk). We didn’t need the bus, but there is a bus stop nearby their home. We could have easily stayed for longer with their wonderful pets, in their lovely home, and in Bradford-on-Avon. Thanks for allowing us to care for Lily, Mac, Barney, and your home.
I loved my time with Boyo! He’s a sweet kitty and a great coworker while I worked from home. We had lots of fun playing with his rooster toy between calls, and he liked making cameos over Zoom. Christine’s apartment is located within walking distance to a lot of restaurants, bars, and a grocery store. Even though it’s a lively area with street parking, I never had an issue finding parking close to the apartment. What a great way to experience Charlotte with great company!
What can we say about our wonderful experience in Spain. Alice and Mel made us feel so welcome into their home. They are generous kind and genuinely warm and caring people. The house is totally self sufficient, so it took a couple of days to get used to it’s quirky nature. It’s easy to look after, and is a short drive to several beautiful towns, and 25mins from the beach. If you love nature you will love house sitting for Alice and Mel! The dogs, we absolutely fell in love with and we’re sad when we had to leave them. We highly recommend this sit, as it was an absolute pleasure and delight sitting for Alice and Mel.

Dawn is beyond amazing! Our fur babies ( 2 dogs and 2 cats) loved her immediately. She took such good care of all of them in our home while my husband and I were away. She constantly kept us updated and sent pictures. We felt so at ease with Dawn. She really got to know all of them before she sat for us and treates them as of they were her own. Thank you again Dawn for being so wonderful to our kids❤️
Dawn, from Shore Pet Care, did an absolutely wonderful job with our pets! They love her and it was so comforting to get daily pictures and updates. There's no question our animals are better off staying at home with a loving and responsible sitter than going to a kennel. Dawn also took great care of our house. We couldn't be happier with her services.
Dawn and her dog sitting services are the best! She takes incredibly good care of my 2 Boston Terriers, Rosie & Jackie. I have complete confidence in her ability to handle all situations while I’m away. She is able to help out when I have last minute changes in my plans either staying longer with my dogs or returning later to check in on them. Most importantly she has a true love of dogs and it shows!
My dog Peach has really bad separation anxiety, which makes it difficult to find a good petsitter! Dawn is the only one, other than my parents, that I can trust my pup with; She will do whatever Peach needs to feel comfortable which sometimes includes lots of talking to know she is not alone, sitting on the floor with her and lots of snuggles!
Dawn took care of our two very active dogs for a week in our home when we were on vacation. She and her team did a wonderful job. I think the house may have been cleaner than when we left, and the pups were perfectly happy and safe! I highly recommend her.
She was great with my cats while I was away. I recommend her to others who are looking for pet sitters
Amazing lady! Stephanie is a wonderful, caring, patient animal lover. She has looked after my (very shy and nervous) cat twice now. She is great at sending updates. I fully trust her coming into my home every day. My cat only likes about 4 people in the whole world - now she likes 5 because Stephanie spent time coaxing her and being gentle and kind. It is a huge relief knowing my cat is taken care of in her own familiar territory while I'm away, and seeing photos of her looking relaxed and happy is a joy to my heart. Thank you, Stephanie. x
When my wife and I had to travel out of state on short notice, we needed someone to check in on our three cats. We were concerned because of their special needs, such as medications and the need to be kept separate. Stephanie was reliable and took care of the cats exceedingly well, even going the extra step of sending us pictures of them to reassure us all was well. We will definitely be asking for her help again the next time we leave town. Reasonably priced and great with our furkids, Stephanie comes highly recommended.
Stephanie’s dog walking service has been such a help to me. She is reliable and obviously enjoys the pets she cares for!! My dog Farley loves to see her pull in the driveway and heads straight for his leash when she arrives!
First time leaving 12 1/2 yr old lab and 19 yr old cat with a pet sitter~Stephanie exceeded my expectations from coming to my home to meet the pets to sending pictures of their happy faces while I was away. I would highly recommend her and will be using her services again in the near future😄 …
Stephanie absolutely loves what she does and it shows in the way pets respond to her. She’s knowledgeable and dependable and you’ll have peace of mind knowing that she’s caring for your “extended family”. You won’t regret hiring her!
Stephanie is awesome with all pets left in her care and they love her and get crazy excited to see her because of the attention and love she gives to them.
Stephanie really cares about the pets she is watching.
Well managed, extremely clean and staff is well trained and friendly. My dog grew up in multiple daycare environments and when he comes home from PETiculars he is clean, doesn't smell, and isn't stressed out. You can tell he's well cared for, and has been given individual care and played with. The cost is straight forward with no hidden fees and I love that there are a clear number of staff to dog ratios that makes me feel safe dropping off my dog and know he's being watched closely and not getting lost in a mix. Every holiday it feels like there are adorable "school pictures" shared, and every time I pick my dog up I get a personalized and detailed update on how he did that day from a staff member. If something new is going on, customers are updated by management, and I feel everything is very upfront, straightforward and transparent. Highly recommended!
PETiculars is an amazing daycare for dogs. It is very clean, never overcrowded and the staff is always friendly. There is plenty of space so that dogs with different levels of energy can each do their own thing. Amber enjoys relaxing on a cot in the sunshine while other dogs are running around and having too much fun! Pictures and videos of the dogs are posted throughout the day. Boarding and nail trims are also available.
Best staff!! They treat my pup like family! Very accommodating. 10/10 recommend!
This day care center is excellent! 5 stars across the board, from the owner/operator who goes to the greatest lengths to make sure the dogs are happy, safe, clean, and taken care of from a-z. It is a meticulous, cheery place with an outstanding owner. Can't say enough great things, after many years of experience with the owner...excellent all around.
I took my pup Tobie there many times and he loved it..Last visit was in 2020... I was so glad to see that this business is still doing well..
We love Peticulars The staff is caring and pleasant The facility is accommodating and clean The feedback is always prompt and in detail Always a smile Maggie is happy there
Clean facility. Some of the best staff. Pups are treated like family. Highly recommend.
If you are planning to do dog daycare in Cape Cod during summertime- make sure you reserve a spot few months before. It is a lesson for me to learned. One of my dogs have separate anxiety. It has been stressful for me to leave him home alone. Lucky, I found Peticulars. Owner showed me around their cute daycare first. Workers are so friendly and welcoming. They are very communicative. My level of stress went down to 0%. They spoke highly of my dogs. It’s like they pay attention to my dogs. Also, one of them were able to trim my Teddy’s nails with no problem. My local daycare in my hometown couldn’t do this. Highly recommend! I will be back when I am back to Cape Cod. Thank you!
I spend a lot of time on the Cape with my daughter and grand kids. Our dog is a rescue and we take him everywhere with us. But I needed a place to leave him on days when it is too hot or cold for the car: a place I trusted, a place where he would be properly and well taken care of. I found that place at PETiculars. I called them one morning, went over within the hour to tour the place, and was able to leave my dog that same afternoon for a few hours. He loved it there. And he came home happy and tired. The staff were friendly and informative. They clearly knew dogs. I recommend PETiculars highly. Of course, I'd rather keep them a secret so I can be sure of an open spot for my pup! It is a small facility, so call ahead. These guys are so good, they will become very popular. Prices were very reasonable. One drawback, they don't do overnights right now. Thanks for taking such good care of Sebastian!
We absolutely love Peticulars! Pups (Chloe - a 14 lb. Yorkie and Chaz - a 84 lb Doodle) love coming to play! They don't look back once they go through the doors and guaranteed to be exhausted when they come home! The staff are loving and caring and owner, Linda, is the best! I trust the pups here cause they treat them like our fur babies, with love and care! Highly recommend!
Training at Howl-a-Day. This is the last thing I want to do. But I feel compelled to write this review to save even just one person from spending way too much money on a subpar training experience. I was quoted a price—in person by Matt, the owner—of $1400.00 for 10 training sessions. After 6 sessions, I was told that they would not be providing any more lessons because I opted not to use e-collars. I had told Matt on day one that I wasn’t sure about using e-collars on my dogs. He assured me that he could still train without the e-collars, but that it might just take a little longer to get them there. On the day of our sixth training, his employee told me we were done, then followed me to my car to get the e-collars back. I was shocked! I reached out to Matt, upset and confused, only to be told that he would not be doing further training with us because we weren’t using e-collars. For $1400.00 my dogs learned basic puppy-class skills: sit, down, stay, heal, and come. I could have learned this for free on YouTube, or for a fraction of the cost at a puppy training class at Pet Smart! My dogs already knew sit, come, and down before I ever took a class. Matt has promised me a refund, but months have passed and no refund has been given. He has told me I was threatening him because I told him I felt obligated to write a review. He lied to me about what he told me on day one. He also had me sign paperwork that was not filled in at the bottom. He later used that paperwork against me after he filled it in to fit his narrative. I questioned his integrity which really upset him. But honestly, who would pay $1400.00 with little to no results?! My advice, and what I learned through this experience is, get everything in writing! Take pictures of everything you sign! Don’t trust blindly. And do more research. Had I asked around, I would have never gone to Matt for training. This is your sign to make a better choice for yourself, your dog, and your wallet! He doesn’t care about you or your dog. He only cares about the money!
I adopted a 2 year old dog from Aruba. They are highly intelligent and very observant. My Ellie was a challenge and I wasn't sure I did the right thing by saying yes, I'll take her. Howladay came to the rescue. They are a great group of people who know what they're doing. Once a week I went with Ellie for her Miss Manners training. Each time I pulled into the parking lot she became very excited and couldn't wait to get started with the next class. It was definitely the positive energy and we both felt it.
Our Boston Terrier, Lucy was boarded with Howl a Day for the last two weekends. She was great when we picked her up. A little tired but healthy and happy. We are happy to have Howl a Day available for day care or boarding when needed. They do a great job and take good care of pets in their care. Thank you.
Lynn and Matt are the kindest owners. I work and have four kids and really needed doggie daycare for my energetic puppy Millie. Once carefully checking her vaccines and an evaluation they determined she could join the other dogs, and she had a fantastic time. I can’t recommended this Diamond on the Cape enough to dog owners more highly. I wish there were 100 stars!
Matt and the trainers at Trainer K-9 are A+. They did an amazing job transforming our shy and skiddish dog, Willow, into a confident pup. Willow was so fearful of loud noises, people, dogs barking, and the general noises of living in the city. After 3 weeks of boarding school, she came back way more confident. Though she still gets fearful at times, we now know how to handle those instances and she is trusting us more. We’re now able to go on walks and to places we never could before! The best part is Willow is still her silly self, just smarter and less fearful. She continues to improve each day and we appreciate the follow up training sessions to keep us on target!
The team here is absolutely incredible, you can tell they run a well-oiled machine and take care of the dogs so we’ll. We boarded our 3 dogs last weekend and asked if they would be able to send us a few pictures and they were happy to oblige. Dogs came home pooped and happy. We’ll be using their services again during our next trip to Cape Cod 😄
Tried these folks recently for boarding. Place is clean, well run, etc. Rate is $100 a day for my 2 dogs to board. Dropped them Friday at 4PM, picked up 1155 AM Sunday. Received a quick lecture on making sure I am there by noon for pickup, which I was. Then told I owed another $65 on top of the $200 I already paid. Charge was for day care? Asked if they were there less than 48 hours, why the extra. Was told if I dropped at 8AM on Friday and picked up by 11AM Sunday (51 hours of their time) it would only be $200. Because I picked up after 11AM (44 hours of their time) I had to pay extra. That math doesn't add up.
Always comfortable leaving my small dog Murphy at the Holiday inn, they did not disappoint this time as well. They were there to greet him and very happy to see him, they led him away from me nicely and with his confidence in their ability to take care of him. I did not worry about his well-being while I was away for 4 days. Very happy to see him and well taken care of during his trip. I would recommend them wholeheartedly
Best place for your dog to be when they can't be with you. Hands down best care you can get for your furry family member.
We needed to board our dog for a week whilst we were on the Cape, and were so happy with Howladay Inn. Our dog loved it, got taken well care of and overall, had a super time.
