Susan and Miranda are amazing! I've had the pleasure of working with many sitters and they are truly exceptional. They were great at keeping in touch, sent lots of updates, asked good questions, really bonded with the cats, clearly very experienced working with animals and understanding their needs, and generally lovely to deal with. They were really patient putting up with a whole bunch of deliveries and even assembled a spare bed! They also left the place spotless with clean sheets on the bed. I'm pretty sure the cats loved Susan and Miranda more than us by the end of their stay! I'd highly recommend them to anyone and would love to have them stay again any time.
Brian is a very professional sitter that does a good job, pays attention to details and is easy to work with. I have a lot of plants. A lot. He suggested me do a video for the plant care so he could be sure of which ones needed what. Brilliant! I’d never thought of that. They were in great shape when I returned. I explained that I needed some flexibility with travel dates, he agreed and rolled with the punches like a champ when my dates did indeed change. Unfortunately, he was a bit allergic to my cat but made it work anyway. He was really awesome about everything including a tree that fell next door in a storm and blocked the road for three days. I appreciate that he appreciated how funny and how much personality Boo has. They got along well and I received some great videos. I returned home to a happy cat and a house well taken care of 😊. I would definitely recommend Brian.
Elisabeth was an excellent sitter for our cat. We were away for two weeks and received daily photos and notes from her about Catman's activities (i.e., sleeping and eating). She is definitely a cat lover and that was evident from our cat's calm behavior when we returned.
Wow! Just wow! We cannot say enough about the care and compassion Trisha and John provided to our cats and our home. We are always somewhat nervous about a new pet sitter in our home, but that all faded when we met this wonderful couple. They provided daily updates as requested, complete with pictures, videos and personalized captions. Upon our return, we were greeted by happy and content kitties. There was no sign of anxiety in Tika! Yea!!! Our home was clean, the sheets and towels were washed and bed remade! They even left behind thank you notes and little gifts! What a breath of fresh air these two individuals are! We hope to have them back again soon.
Ruoyi was the perfect sitter for our cat Toni! We would highly recommend her to any pet owner, and hope she can sit for us again in the future. Ruoyi was very thorough - she made sure there was full alignment on all the specifics of her pet duties, and she asked thoughtful questions regarding details we forgot to include in our guide. She always provided us timely updates at the agreed cadence, and gave us a ton of photos. From the photos, it's clear she got in a lot of play time with Toni, which we really appreciated! :) We were able to enjoy our entire vacation stress-free knowing Toni was in such good hands. Ruoyi left our apartment completely clean and offered to wash linens.
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
Elyse was one of the best pet sitters we've ever met! Couldn't recommend her more. We hope she stays at our place again. She sent many pictures of our beloved cats throughout our absence. We returned to our cats seeming relaxed and happy as ever. She also left our apartment sparkling clean. 10/10 :)
Ann Marie was an excellent house sitter who went above and beyond. She flew in a day early and stayed at a local hotel so we she could meet my cat and get the keys before my early flight the next morning. When I returned, she and Tryke were best friends and the house was immaculate. She even washed the sheets and towels, and remade the bed. I strongly recommend Ann Marie for any future sits!
Tonya was great and filled in after our other sitter had to cancel. She was very self sufficient and navigated acclimating herself to everything since she arrived after we left. She gave thoughtful updates on my cat and I could tell she really enjoyed her, so that means the world to me! She left the place immaculate and we will certainly have Tonya back!
Super nice sitters and extremely flexible. Really enjoyed their company and I only regret that I was too frazzled to chat with them more and get to know them! Kept the house super clean, pets loved them. Dog especially. Had a little problem with my new kitten not meshing well with the older cats (which was not too surprising since cats can be territorial). Pennee was very patient and gave me constant updates and tips. And the older cat was much more calm when I came home. Highly recommend and welcome back anytime!
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least 20$ per visit, $10/week per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
Karin is great! She is very reliable and friendly, and our dog Maggie is always so excited to see her when she comes for their walks. She always sends pictures or videos of their walks with updates on how Maggie did. Maggie is still a puppy so Karin has been helping us work with her to teach her good behavior when she is out in the neighborhood. It makes my days at work so much easier knowing Karin is taking such great care of Maggie. I would highly recommend her!
Words cannot express my gratitude towards Karin while she cared for our elderly husky (and two obese goldfish) while we were away for 8 days. Karin was prompt, reliable, and ever so kind to our animals. Her updates put my mind at ease and she really does go the extra mile for her clients. She was super professional and friendly, would recommend her to anyone looking for pet care. Thank you, Karin! We are grateful for your services.
Karin is extremely reliable, responsive and goes over and beyond just taking my dog for a walk. I always feel good when I leave for work knowing that she is coming to walk him, play with him and give him all the extra love and attention he needs. Karin also takes daily pictures of him on his walks that I share with my college kids every day as well! She offers the best dog walking service!!
Karin is the absolute best- we affectionately refer to her as “second mom” in our house. One of our dogs was a rescue and came from a pretty tough life so is not great with strangers and she absolutely adores Karin. Karin has been nothing but kind, patient and gentle with her since day one and has earned her trust. Our other dog is a massive, energy filled goofball who worships Karin, when I say “second mom” he starts running around and whining to try and find her. I would never let anyone else in our home with our dogs besides Karin. She is responsible, reliable and your dogs will be in the best care!
Karin is great at what she does! She has boarded our dog at her house several times, when we have gone away on vacation or hosting a party here. She is always sending my son videos of their walks and adventures. She even lets our dog sleep in her bedroom, so she is not lonely. Karin lives close by to us. Every time my dog sees her when we are out walking, she goes nuts trying to get to Karin for hugs and love.
Karin was wonderful. She watched our goldendoodle for the weekend when we got married this fall - she even brought him to the church so we could get pictures with him! She sent us pictures of their walks together and we felt at peace knowing he was so happy in her care. We will absolutely use her anytime we need overnight care again!
We absolutely love Karin (and so do our pups!). After just a short time, we felt she was part of the family. She offers great services - from short walks to boarding when you go out of town. She's great with our pups and is always on-time and reliable. We wish we still lived in Marshfield because we miss her so much! Highly recommend!
We have used Coastline Dog Walking for their In-Home Sitting services for well over 5 years and can't imagine using anyone else! Karin pours her heart and soul into caring for your animal. She is extremely reliable and will truly care for and love your pet as if they were her own. She is meticulous in making sure the pets immunizations are up to date and is very conscientious about pet personalities when choosing to board more than one dog. While away, you will have piece of mind that your pet is living their best life as she sends daily pictures of them truly enjoying themselves. When I drive my dog up her driveway for drop off, she gets so excited! Coastline Dog Walking and In-Home Sitting services is just spectacular, look no further!
We have used Coastline Dog Walking for about a year and a half now. My dog doesn't warm up to strangers easily and Karin was very patient with her. I can always depend on Karin and she always sends the best note and/or picture on the daily interaction. I highly recommend Coastline Dog Walking.
Our 11 year old golden retriever, Joey, has been staying with Karin for the past three years whenever we go away. We could not be more happy with her service! She treats Joey like a member of her family and my kids even joke that Joey is on vacation when he stays with Karin. She sends daily videos/pictures of Joeys activities every day and he never looks like he misses us😂 So happy we found someone so caring and reliable to take care of our Joey.
We reached out to Nancy a couple of times for overnights for our young male lab and she was great! Our need increased after a cancer diagnosis and she was super accommodating to our sporadic schedule while I was unable to walk him at all. Now Nancy comes 2x a week most weeks and our baby seems to really love it! He gets excited when he sees her pull up and is tired but happy when he gets back home. I recommend Nancy and Take the Lead!
We used Nancy and Take the Lead for several years while we lived in Scituate. She was great. 15 months ago we moved to Atlanta but now (10/16) we are moving back. I called Nancy to see if she could take care of our dog and cat for the first to nights while we moved in. Once again she has come to our rescue. We are a big fan of Nancy and Take the Lead. We trusted her with our keys and our pets. She never failed us. Thank you Nancy! You can use her with confidence.
Nancy is so great with our 2 year old lab. She has watched him overnight on several occasions ranging from a night to over a week. He’s always happy to arrive, play with her dogs, and go on hikes :) Highly recommend her!!
Nancy is a real dog person with a big heart for her clients and very knowledgeable. She cares for your pet like it’s one of her own! She sends you photos of your pet while you’re away so you can rest assured they are happy and safe with her!
Call Nancy for your all your boarding needs. She took great care of our 3 papillons while we were away on vacation. Nancy even took the time to send us pictures and updates on how our dogs were doing. I highly recommend Take The Lead Pet Care to anyone who wants a worry -free boarding experience. 5 STARS!
Since moving to Scituate in June 2011, Nancy and Take the Lead Pet Care have been like a second family to our 3 1/2 year old Portuguese Water Dog, Farley, and our kitties. Nancy provides the utmost in care and experience and has been there for us whenever we've needed her--whether a last minute schedule change for impromptu dog care, or as a caring support to show us tips and techniques when our cat Izzy was terminally ill. Our dog Farley joins in her doggie outing group several times a week and always comes home happy and exhausted! Take the Lead has provided boarding for times when we've been away and Nancy treats our dog like her own--she has even sent daily photos and texts. Take the Lead Pet Care is the absolute VERY best care for your pets on the South Shore--thanks so much, Nancy!!
Take the Lead is fantastic! When we moved to Scituate a year ago Nancy was so kind and helpful to us in so many ways. When she takes our high energy vizsla (Ginger) for doggie play dates and walks, she comes home exhausted (not easy to do with Ginger!). Nancy is caring, compassionate, attentive and I feel 100% confident that Ginger is well cared for with her. I recommend TTL to any dog owner!!
I highly recommend Take the Lead Pet Care! Nancy has taken such great care of my 2 labs, and is especially attentive to my elderly one as she ages. Great communication; extremely reliable. I know she loves my dogs!
I cannot recommend Nancy. Initially our experience with her was very positive. She was very flexible with our schedule and arrived when expected. That all changed this week. Scituate had a lockdown and Nancy never arrived at our house to let our dog out. We were not aware of the situation and she never called me to let me know she wasn't going to make it. My dog was left in the house without relief for twelve hours. I realize the lockdown was out of her control but making a phone call was not. Nancy assured me she would be a our house later in the week and again she never showed up and never called.
Take the Lead truly loves our baby and keeps him very active and social. Typically they walk our dog but the value they provide is the flexibility in their care. Time of day, length of service and even sleep over requests are all accommodated by Take the Lead. I have and would recommend their services to anyone that needs care for their pets because our dog is social, fit and well cared for by Take the Lead Pet Care.
Boarded my 2 dogs here for a week and I think they had a better vacation than me, all the staff really cares about the animals and gives them a lot of love and whatever they need. Great prices too would highly recommend to anyone
Amazing staff, very personable, they are awesome with my dog reactive dog. They give her lots of love while we are away which helps me with leaving her in kennel as I know she’s being well cared for!
Miss Holly is wonderful, my dogs pull me to get in there to see her! That's how you know it's all good!!!!!! Plus she does a beautiful job
I get my dog groomed with Holly every few months. She is SO loving and caring to every dog in there. She does a fabulous job with her grooming and always gives advice on how to cut/shave depending on the time of year. Holly TRULY cares about the dogs there and I feel so comfortable bringing my dog Foxy in to get groomed with her. So thankful we found her! Highly recommend.
Holly is great. She has groomed there for a long time! Always a pleasure to see her and my dog looks great when he comes home. He is a big guy so I really do appreciate her working with him. Thank you Holly.
I have been boarding and grooming my dogs here for over 30 years. And I occasionally do daycare. I trust these people. Most of my dogs have loved going here. (Current dog not so much, but that's just her.) I recommend this place highly!
Elja kennels knows the breeds and does an amazing job! Our 6 month old Airedale is getting used to grooming and we are taking direction from Holly and keeping him looking good!
My dog loves it here. Lisa, the owner, is super friendly and you can just tell she loves all the dogs here!
Have used them for several years and ALL have been fantastic experiences. My boxer is a bit shy and doesn’t do well with many dogs The kennel owners walk her separately and play with her too I highly recommend this kennel
The folks at Elja are so kind and caring for my little doxie Sansa - even to the point of hand-feeding her when she wasn't interested in her kibble. I appreciate that caring attention!
Our family cannot say enough about how much we love this doggy daycare. The owners, Missy and Nikki, along with their entire staff are the best! They care so much for each and every dog that comes through the doors as well as the parents of each dog. We have a great relationship with everyone and truly feel this is an amazing community to be part of. We recently lost our Weim to cancer and throughout his treatment he kept going to "school" and we would be provided an assessment at the end of each day on how he did that day. After he passed, the outpouring of love and support from Salty Dog and other clients blew us away. The are also very active on FB and IG so throughout the day the pictures of my pups playing in photos and videos are awesome to see. They are so happy there. Driving to "school" in the morning I hear constant excitement from the back seat as we get closer as they know exactly where they are going. Once we arrive, they bolt inside to see their friends. At pickup time, they are exhausted from all the fun they had that day. It's just a wonderful feeling to see them so happy and cared for. We HIGHLY recommend supporting this local female owned small business, you and your pup will not regret it! I know we haven't (6 years and still going every day!)
Our family cannot find enough words or the right words to express how much we love Salty Dog! Our pup leaps out of the car every time and without questions is received with so much love and kindness EVERY.SINGLE.TIME!!! Every staff member is just wonderful and the owners are just terrific people. Our Bo loves it here and so does our family!
We have gone to salty dog for about 2 years. The staff is great and lulu loves going to day care there. The groomers also do a great job. Overall great doggie day care!
I’ve been taking my golden retriever to Salty dog for over a month now and it’s been such a great experience! My dog LOVES going there and runs through the door every time. The girls who own it are super friendly along with their staff. They definitely love the dogs like their own. Would highly recommend! PS- they post tons of Instagram pictures and videos so you can see what your pup is up to!
We have been taking our sweetheart Penny to Salty Dog Daycare for 7 months now and could not be happier with the care that our pup receives. The new owners are so trustworthy and wonderful and we feel so comfortable leaving her in such loving hands. The rest of the staff is just as compassionate and they all clearly love their jobs. We are thrilled that we found such a great and reliable place for Penny!!
We got our rescue 3 1/2 years ago, he is a pit bull/Australian cattle dog mix. At the time, we lived in Pembroke about 5 miles from Salty Dog. We now live 45 min away, and still take Brodie to Salty Dog. They are the most loving, professional, greatest day care around. They know all their dogs likes and dislikes, their facility is clean and well organized. Missy and Nicki run an incredible business! I highly recommend them. From Brodie and his family!
Salty Dog Doggy Daycare is just the best! My dog is never more excited than when she goes to Salty Dog, and never more tired than when she gets home from Salty Dog. The employees are professional and curteous, and always have a smile on their faces. The space is nice and big with plenty of room for the dogs to run around and play. I would absolutely recommend Salty Dog Doggy Daycare to any dog owner.
Our family loves salty dog daycare! The owners are wonderful. They're very responsive even answering through text messaging and they take such good care of our one-year-old boxer. They keep him cool in the heat which means so much to us!
Love the crew and the atmosphere there! Definitely doggy heaven with plenty of space inside and out for the dogs to play and roam. One of the only daycares on the south shore that doesn't breed discriminate! Most of the crew is always smiling and willing to answer any and all questions that I have. Recommend this to anyone wanting a safe comfortable environment for the fur baby to spend the day!
My dog and I both love Salty Dog. Every day we pull into the parking lot he gets so excited to play with his dog and human friends there. The staff are always so friendly and you can really tell they care about each and every dog. I can't recommend them enough
Our Dog Molly has going to see Elizebeth Steve and their wonderful staff for a few months. My wife and I have nothing but high praise for all of them not to say Molly enjoys her stay. From day one they all make you feel very comfortable leaving our dog there. Thanks🐶🐶🐶🐶 Nancy & Bob Lynch …
The team here are the nicest people I’ve ever encountered. So kind and understanding, you can tell they really care about each dog. They made our dog Halo feel comfortable and less afraid. They took their time to ensure it was a positive experience for him. When they were finished, he looked absolutely amazing. If I could give 10 stars, I would! Thank you Brigadoon ❤️
I have been bringing my dogs here for years. Steve and his Uncle before him are the only people I trust with my dogs. When Steve and his wife took over the business they really made sure to make a connection with folks who had been longtime customers and I can’t say enough about how kind, flexible and on top of things they are. We board and use daycare for our rescue mutt and our bullmastiff. They both come home happy and tired and I feel confident that if dogs being dogs occurs Steve and the staff are engaged and deal appropriately …just the best!
I know that when we have to leave Kenny behind, he is well taken care of at Brigadoon.
Where do I begin, I have to say that Stavros and Elizabeth and everyone at Brigadoon Kennels are just wonderful!! We Have been bringing my son's don Daisy (a Shiba Inu) there since she was a less thank a year. When looking for a place we just called and went there and Daisy has been shown so much Love we are so grateful for them and all they do for her she is so excited when we tell her we are going to see the doggies she knows where she is going. They are treated like there own and I never have to worry when she is there. My son is a paramedic / Firefighter in Scituate and his schedule can be crazy and they always do there best to help us out even in a pinch. Daisy and my son and I are so grateful they are part of our lives!!!
Our dog doesn’t get along with other dogs and some people but loves boarding here and the staff! They keep her separate and she always comes back super at ease. Love Brigadoon!
* NOT DOG REACTIVE/AGGRESSIVE FRIENDLY* Negative experience- my normal kennel Elja’s was full who is absolutely amazing with my dog and they adore her there, they have a great staff. So I called this place to see if I could get my dog in over the busy Christmas time. *I called and told them on phone the dates I needed and that my dog is dog aggressive and asked if they could accommodate that and they said yes, they can.* Steven was very condescending. As soon as I brought her in he had a very negative attitude about the dates how it is busy and her dog aggression. I work with dogs, I know dog temperments and TOTALLY understand if boarding wouldn’t work out due to this. The fact is I made them aware of her temperament and the dates over the phone and then when I got there they made it seem like I shouldn’t even be trying to board her at that time. ( when she does very well in the kennel when she has gone over Christmas/ other times). My dog then had an accident on floor and I said I’m sorry and he goes” oh this just keeps getting better” so I left as I did not feel comfortable bringing my dog there at this point( and he was in back for awhile). He then came out and asked me if that was it, I responded yes did you need anything else. He then tried to make me out as a liar asking why my normal kennel wouldn’t take her and that she’s a huge issue in a very condescending way. When I had already told him- no they absolutely love her they are just full the dates I need. I said if you really want to you can call them. ( Obviously another dog boarding place wouldn’t want to call another but he was acting like they didn’t want me back there or something when that is far from the truth) but his attitude towards this was aweful he goes pffff ya no not doing that. Overall very negative experience for us. I want to make this known for individuals who have dogs that are not friendly with other dogs who are looking for reliable boarding, this is not it!
My dogs have always loved it at Brigadoon. They’ve been there both for boarding and for daycare. They come home tired from playing all day and I never worry when we are on vacation- the care is outstanding!
Highly reccacomend my German shepherd Samson flash . Loved them great loveing people and understanding ❤️ they love the dogs and great with owners there amazing 👏 thank you Steven and Elizabeth. For takeing care of my baby . …
Our spoiled, 11 yr. old Cockapoo boarded two weeks at Brigadoon. He came back to us as we left him. In great spirits & beautifully groomed. THANK you Spiros!
Krystal and team are so amazing. I had a last minute request for medicine administration while I was already out of town. Krystal and team swooped in to take care of my coco girl. Not only do they provide top of the line customer service but they updated me with photos and notes on how the visit went. I was able to stay up to date without having to stress. Thank you all for taking care of her and saving me from having to come home early. You guys rock.
Kerri is always friendly, accommodating and reliable. Our schedule is sometimes unpredictable and she is always willing to accommodate us even when we book last minute. We feel very comfortable having her and her staff come into our home and take care of our pet. We have had walkers in the past afraid of our Belgian Malinois but Kerri is experienced, trustworthy and knowledgeable, our dog absolutely loves her!
I couldn’t be more pleased with Fetch! Kerri is so accommodating, flexible, personable, reliable, and professional. She’s definitely in the right business. My Golden Retriever Ellie adores her and is such a Waggy-tailed, happy pup when Kerri pulls into the driveway. I love the pictures she takes to document Ellie’s special time with Kerri. I highly recommend Fetch! And Ellie does too!
These guys are awesome. We have been using them since the very beginning and felt such relief finding a great dog walker that we trust. We have two large dogs and Kerri and her team take them on great walks and keep them happy. I can be at work with a clear head knowing that they are stopping by mid-day. Would 10/10 recommend. They are also very reasonably priced and reliable.
Kerri and team have provided wonderful dog walk services for us for a number of years. Super reliable and our dogs love them. The Fetch app is great for managing schedules, payments and tracking. Give Kerri and team a try.
Keri is absolutely amazing! She is great with my 3 fur babies and goes above and beyond for them. She offers a variety of services at very reasonable rates. If you are looking for someone caring, reliable and trustworthy then Keri and her team are right for you and your beloved pets. I would rate her 10/10 if Google gave me the option.
When our pups see Kerri and the other walkers pull up out front, a cyclone of excitement hits the house. They run to the door with tails wagging! Excellent and trustworthy dog walkers and sitters. Highly recommend!
This is an extremely woke, progressive company run by Kerri who is an extreme feminist. I wouldn't let her or her company watch the raccoon that breaks into my trash bin. Completely unprofessional.
Thank you Nicole! Can’t wait to see your pups real soon!
We love sending our puppy for day care. Our dog loves the people and of course the other dogs. This is a friendly and loving environment for your pet. The dogs are safe and have lots of fun.
Really glad I chose here for doggy day care! Very clean facility with friendly, personable, and trustworthy staff. My pup absolutely loves it here!
My toy ShihPoo loves it here! They separate the small dogs from the larger ones, this is the only way to ensure his safety and comfort. They are very attentive and caring, all dog lovers! Note there is a trial period to ensure your dog is a good fit, also usually a waiting list to get your pup in.
My dogs have been staying with Fox and Hound for 5 years now. My first service animal, Jack, was attacked and pretty badly injured. They paid the vet bill but it was tough to see a 16 year old dog go through the trauma and lengthy recovery. Now my new pal, who stayed there overnight last week contracted kennel cough. My vet said that even though immunized, certain strains of the virus can still infect. She's a sick pup. They should shut the place down for a thorough disinfection and more importantly, ask for medical records for all their dogs. The have never asked me for mine. Despite that they offer pick up and drop off, the main reason I continued to use them, I will never board my best pal there again. It's a far cry from the days that Robin was in charge and handled each account personally. Now it's just money, money, money.
Friendly, caring staff who manage the dogs well, giving them plenty of exercise and socialization, including outside activity as weather allows. My dog loves coming here, and our boarding experiences have been very positive.
My 4.5 year old lab mix has been going to Fox & Hound for 2 years, twice a week, for doggy daycare. She comes home happy and tired. The staff is phenominal!!! I highly recommend bringing your furbaby here for daycare, boarding and grooming. You will be very happy that you did!! And so will your pet.
My dog has had the opportunity to take advantage of many Fox & Hound programs - from Petit daycare and boarding in Norwell to puppy and now “adult” day training in Hingham. The staff is amazing!! Oh, and grooming by Lyndsey @ the Hingham location. She’s amazing too!
By far the best place I've ever taken my dog to board and for daycare. She loves going and comes home tired and happy. The staff is great and takes care of her like she's their own.
I've tried other kennels, but, this one is the best. My dogs tell me that anyway. And I tend to agree with them. They are happy and well-adjusted each time I pick them up. The owner cares and so do the staff.
Surprisingly disappointed - did not meet basic expectations. Felt like doing us a favor - not a good positive vibe. Appeared regulars get treated differently. Example: We enthusiastcally signed up for daily 15 minute walks over 6 day stay and we’re told these would occur unless there was really poor weather. When we picked him up we were ‘asked’ if it was ok that they walked him only 3 times - due to lack of available staff. Come on, you tell us after the fact that what was expected to happen did not happen - because you didn’t have staff?? Not cool - not how to run a business. I guess he was treated ok - seemed ok when I picked him up. But still, I feel bad, mostly disappointed in myself for putting trust in them - felt like I let my dog down. Not going back.
I have been working with Stephanie Curran, the owner of Recurve, for 6 years now. Before she even opened a shop, I had gotten my first puppy and needed help desperately. She took my Blue on hikes and did training sessions with me. Once she opened her shop, I was beyond excited! I lived in Brockton at the time, but I had no problem driving to Scituate before driving to Quincy for work. I knew that my dog, and now dogs, are in the best hands with the most knowledgeable and patient staff. They are always so happy and tired when I pick them up. I couldn't have asked to find a better trainer and daycare!
Ultra professional and caring daycare & boarding. My dog comes home happy and tired. The employees are top notch and the daycare is structured so there is always someone outdoors watching the dogs at play and giving correction if needed.
Did a great job on my Chocolate Lab and my Puggle. Their regular groomer retired and their nails had gotten REALLY long. Recurve K9 responded to my message promptly, got an appointment quickly and took us right away. Phenomenal job on both dogs. Will definitely be back!!
Best place you could leave your dogs. They always take the best care of them. Best employees that are nothing but helpful. It’s the only place and people I trust to leave my dogs with when I go on vacation or to leave with just for the day.
Employees are very rude - do not recommend edit- I pulled in to ask about openings for cat grooming as it was listed - I saw the closed sign and paused to check again your times - your employees left and I was blocking the exit so I drove down to the overflow parking lot to turn around- in the process of doing a 3 point turn - your employees drive down and stop the car in such a way that I could no long exit - I grab my phone to wait for them to move which had pokemon go as I have an auto catcher- your employees exit the car and walked over which weirded me out as their car was still blocking the exit- they asked why I was their and showed the phone because honestly I was baffled- they then said private property and then got back into the car and moved it so I could leave - the issue here is the blocked exit - I was there for a legitimate reason - your employees were just so hostile that I didn't both explaining because I desperately wanted to leave and never come back
As so many other dog owners, our pup is literally our child so we were understandably nervous to put her into the care of someone else. Mark and Stephanie, as well as their whole staff, are incredibly transparent, thoughtful and trustworthy. We recently left our little one to board there for 10 or so days while we were on vacation and things couldn't have gone more smoothly. We feel very lucky to have Recurve.
I had an amazing experience with Stephanie and Recurve! I am a first time dog owner and I had no idea what I was doing. Stephanie was a HUGE help with training my puppy! I saw so much improvement after each training session and it was really refreshing watching my puppy learn and grow into a very well trained and happy dog. We worked on leash walking, confidence building, recall, and much more. My ultimate goal was to be able to have my puppy off leash and because of Steph and Recurve, I can make that goal happen! I would highly recommend! I'm looking forward to bringing my puppy to Recurve for daycare and boarding in the future.
Cannot recommend Recurve K9 enough! We did the basic obedience training with our rescue dog, and Stephanie taught our dog obedience and so much more. She recommended food for our dog’s sensitive stomach, taught her how to walk on a leash without pulling, and answered all of our questions about how to care for our first dog. Stephanie and Mark are great people, and we trust them completely with our dog. She loves going there for daycare, and we look forward to boarding there soon!
We boarded our two dogs with Steph for the weekend and couldn't be happier. Knowing our dogs were well taken care of let us relax and enjoy the weekend. They came home clean, happy, and tired. I would highly recommend!
They are great! My dog loves it.
My dog had a great time last week at Buddy and Friends Doggie Daycare! Thanks to the entire staff! They took amazing care of him…. So happy to have a place I can trust when I go on vacation to take care of my fur baby They all are so wonderful! Highly recommend!!!!
This daycare is amazing! They have cameras so I can see my pup, it's super clean, and even has special accomodations for pups that aren't too social. The staff are very professional and caring. They open nice and early which makes it so much easier with my work schedule. I'm so at ease leaving my best furry friend with them whether it's for daycare or boarding. Such a nice piece of mind. And my guy is so excited going there!
I highly recommend Buddy and Friends Doggie Daycare. The daycare team’s love for dogs is obvious through in the warm, welcoming environment they create for pets and their owners. The staff treat every dog like their own, offering affection, attention, and individualized care. Your pup will be in excellent hands!
I cannot recommend Buddy and Friends enough. If there were 6 stars, I'd give them that. I do not have a typical "daycare dog". He is amazing with people, but not always with other dogs. Buddy and Friends not only takes him, they love working with him. They tell me when he has bad days and good ones, and they work with him as a whole dog, not just another four legged paycheck. My dog loves going to daycare so much he has learned which exit off the highway is the right on and starts pacing the back seat to get me to drive faster. If you aren't sure if doggie daycare is right for your pup, reach out to Buddy and Friends. The staff is knowledgeable and they will take the time to work with every dog as an individual, and they will be honest and transparent with you, the pet parent. Thanks Buddy and Friends for loving my four legged baby as much as I do.
Our 1 yr old pup loves going to Buddy and Friends day care. Great staff and I love all the available add on options you can sign up for like peanut butter filled Kong or extra walks. They also have live feed cameras so you can check in on your pup anytime. :-) Highly recommend.
When Buddy and Friends Doggie Day Care opened up I was excited to take my 13 month puppy Buddy-Lou to a place close by to my home. Reading about the staff credentials, I wanted. My boy to interact with other dogs, learning from other dogs how to behave with staff snd dogs. Because he is always home with my other 10 yr old dog. Yes he goes to Lowes, stores that allows dogs We have been going there approximately 3 weeks, he gets excited driving into the parking lot.. you are professionally , and kindly greeted as you walk in. This facility is extremely clean( no dog/urine, feces smell). The front reception area iis welcoming. What i enjoy I can view what my boy is doing throughout his time there. Via webcam which is part of their facility. I highly recommend this Doggie Daycare. Each area has staff constantly attentive to each dog. When I leave my Buddy -Lou knowing he is having the best day.
My pups and Grandpup love it here! When they’re loaded in the car and we tell them they’re going to school, they go bananas. They even know the way to get there! They know the drill at drop off, I put them safely into a cubby in the entryway, it’s locked from my side then the handler receives them from the cubby door on the other side. I love this procedure so much, it keeps the entryway safe from crowding. After drop off I can peek in on them anytime during the day, they have free live cameras that you can access once your dog(s) are checked in. There really are so many things I love about this daycare, another huge one for me is pricing. They offer a multiple dog discount, so if you have more than one dog, you don’t have to break the bank to let them go and have fun and socialize with friends, both canine and human. Trust me, your dog(s) will come home happy and exhausted! I rarely write reviews but I’m so excited about this new business, I had to share! Bring your pup(s) to Buddy and Friends Doggie Daycare, and they’ll be smiling for sure!! 👏
Most attentive, kind, and friendly staff!! Highly recommend for daycare or boarding!
My pup loves it here!
I cannot say enough great things about Christine!!. My pup is like my baby and I know she’s in great hands whenever Christine is with her. She treats my girl as her own. Christine is very professional, reliable and goes above and beyond! Highly recommend her services!
We recently moved to Plymouth and we were eagerly looking for a reliable and friendly person to watch after our mini golden doodle if we needed to be out for the day. Luckily, our paths crossed with Christine and it has been excellent all around for both us and our dog. Christine has great communication, reliable service and most importantly is great with our dog. She is our go to walker and has even stayed with Finn overnight. Even with last minute requests, she always does whatever she can to be available. Moving is stressful but she has made it very easy for us and our dog to make sure he is always comfortable in a new place. I can’t wait to continue working with her and I know our dog is excited too.
Christine is an AMAZING dog sitter/walker. Our dog loves to see her and he’s always well taken care of and the pictures we get are too cute!
Christine is the best! She comes twice daily a couple days a week to give our guy the love, exercise & attention we can’t while at work. She takes the best pics, texts daily, and leaves notes so we know what they’ve been up to. Can’t recommend her enough!
Thank you, Tara! Ollie is so adorable!
