Cat Sitters in Merrimac, MA

Unfortunately, this daycare does not know how to work with high energy dogs, so if your dog is high energy, I would not recommend bringing them here. They told me via email to never bring my dog back. That should have been a phone call and was a bad business decision in my eyes.

Meghan went above and beyond for my dog when she stayed there. My pup had a bladder infection and Meghan took time out of her day to bring her to the vet. My pup gets all her puppy energy out during the day and is sound asleep by the time we get home and gets so excited to go there. We love A Walk in the Bark!

My Rocky spends an avg. Of 1 week when he goes there and he comes home happy and not stressed. Worth every dime.

I have trusted them with my lovable boxer for 3 years now while away. Never have been disappointed when picking him up.

Freat olace for the dogs when we need to be out of town, really nice, caring people.

My dogs best friends all hang out there!

Rocky loves his visits here.

Absolutely the best day care and boarding!

Recommend it for all dog owners

I love my dogs like they are my children. I never thought I’d find a kennel that met my standards and I could completely trust but I did with Bed and Biscuit. The kennel is a nice size, roomy pens, clean and in a charming, farm setting. The owner and staff love the dogs and welcome them like they are their own. This is the only place I would leave my dogs.

Bed and Biscuit is a fantastic place to board your dog! Kathy and all the staff take such great care of our dogs Cooper and Piper! We’ve tried different boarding options in the past and the dogs never seemed happy but I can tell they LOVE it there! And it’s comforting to know they’re in good hands while we’re away!!

I felt comfortable leaving my dog here and felt like she was in good hands. Nice, clean kennel and friendly staff. My dog seemed happy when I picked her up. I would recommend this place and will use them again. Thank you for taking such good care of Soph! :)

We have been using Bed and Biscuit Country Boarding Inn for many years! The owner is fantastic! The place is warm and welcoming. I wouldn't go anywhere else! Simply the best!

Boarded my dog for a long weekend. The owner and people were all very friendly and nice. I had called to check on Harry and received a phone call back to ease my nerves. Harry seemed fine after picking him up . So I am sure he had a great time.

Bed and biscuit is great! Kathy and her team do an amazing job with our 3 year old golden, Goose, whenever we are out of town. He is always super eager to go inside when we get there and I know they give him so much love!!

Wonderful place,my min pin had a great time ...he had never boarded since we rescued him 4 years ago and like typical min pin has anxiety and we thought he didnt like people..we picked up a changed dog,who was relaxed and happy.He loved taking 3 walks a day,and even gave Kathy a kiss the night before we came home...he has never kissed anyone else! I think he would highly recommend staying here...woof 🐾

Great country setting with plenty of outdoor space. Boris loves the trail walks!

Very nice people and my pup was treated very well!!

Fantastic service; clean, modern facilities. My dog loves it here.

Free Dog is honestly the best. I am not typically the kind of person to leave a review one way or another, but I feel that this place genuinely deserves it. I have used them a few times now and they are consistently amazing. The staff there are so friendly, knowledgeable, and understanding. The facility is clean and has a very cozy feel to it, which I truly believe makes my dogs feel more at ease when I board them. They are extremely thorough in getting to know your dog's from everything to health issues to temperament to how they like to play best. I feel that my dogs are safe and very well taken care of while they are there. I had tried countless places before finding free dog and now I will never go anywhere else. I even changed the dates of a planned vacation once because they did not have availability. I love getting to see photos of my dogs everyday and I can tell from the photos and from their behavior when I pick them up that my dogs are happy here. I would also like to add that I highly recommend Free Dog to anyone with dogs that need one on one play instead of group play. Other places I have boarded my dogs have very clearly not given them any real play time. At Free Dog they will actually play with your dogs and your dogs will go home tired but in the best way!

FreeDog is our favorite groomer! I have a 100 lb Doddle who is very spirited and nervous. He starts wagging his tail as soon as we pull in. Once we get inside and he sees Emily he can barely contain himself! He always comes back to us looking and smelling great and most importantly, very happy! Emily is the best!

This was our first time using Free Dog for boarding our two dogs, Guinness & Bailey. We were so nervous leaving them due to Guinness' cancerous tumor & seizures. The loving care of our pups & your compassionate, dedicated staff was incredible. And the facility was perfect. You helped us relax more knowing both were in such special place & you can tell they really loved their stay with you. You helped our Guinness enjoy his last boarding experience. We will definitely bring Bailey again. What a blessing it was to hear about Free Dog!

Such a great place! I felt so comfortable leaving my baby. From intake to check out the communication was great. I knew he was in good hands. The pictures they post every day made it even better!

This was our first time having Oliver groomed at Free Dog. They have done an amazing job. The best grooming we have ever had done for him. I recommend them 100%.

First time for my senior dog at a kennel. He was taken good care of at Free Dog and even had play time with other seniors. He has some medical issues. They were great in tending to his needs and giving his meds. Felt so comfortable leaving him. I’d highly recommend Free Dog.

Olson loves going “Camping” at Free Dog! The Staff is kind and communicates with photos and texts during his stay. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy our vacations, knowing Olson is safe and happy at Free Dog

We’ve used Free Dog for boarding twice, and they were absolutely amazing both times! I love that you can text with the staff to check on your dogs, and there is someone in the building 24/7, so your pups are never alone over night. They even fed my dog chicken and rice and transitioned her back to her regular diet when she was recovering from an upset tummy. I highly recommend Free Dog. Our dogs will be thrilled to return for their next stay this fall!

I am so grateful to the women I met in the park who told me about Free Dig! What a great feeling to know that when I pick her up I’m going to love the spa-like care Sarah gave my Ruby and the perfect cut every time!

I cannot say enough about Cindy and her staff! They’re wonderful and my dog is full of excitement the minute we turn on the street to go to Free Dog! I would give 5 starts except there’s a set schedule and limited days to use daycare. This is understandable due to small groups needed to match dogs with different temperaments. Cindy puts a lot of care into matching each group member. It’s not a negative unless you need certain days or FT daycare. Highly recommend!!

Our pup has the best experience at DRL - it’s like being at summer camp! She runs around, goes for hikes, and plays with friends. We also love that she’s not kenneled when she stayed overnight. The owner is lovely & posts lots of pics so you can see what your dog is up to while you’re away!

We’ve brought our dogs on multiple occasions and they come back exhausted and happy as can be. It’s amazing and for such an great price. The staff are knowledgeable and good with our two dogs and make sure to do slow introductions with other dogs. They even send you pictures throughout day of your fur baby having a blast to ease your mind. I highly recommend

We send our 2 dogs there a couple days a week. They absolutely love it and come home completely exhausted. They go on hikes and play all day with many other dogs inside and out. The “home/farm” atmosphere for the pups is so much better than the kennel and small yards that other daycares tend to offer. DRL is highly recommend! ❤️

We have 3 dogs and Delacia and her staff take excellent care of them. Even the fussy one. Highly recommended

My min pin loves it...esp the hikes off leash.Great team

Alison and her crew are just awesome !

We wouldn’t bring our dog anywhere else.

I would NEVER leave my dog anywhere else

It’s the only local place we refer clients. ❤️

Best daycare in the area by far.

We LOVE Playtime Pet Resort!!! And Moose does too! When we get off the exit, he knows exactly where we are going and the tail doesn’t stop. The staff are so wonderful and take such amazing care of all the pups. And not to mention, they take photos daily and it makes my heart so happy to see our baby having the best day!!! We feel so fortunate to have such wonderful people caring and looking after our pup.

Playtime Pet Resort is a safe, wonderful place for our little pup Nova. She loves it there and we love the staff! Always willing to go the extra mile for us because our schedules are so crazy! Staff really loves Nova and treats her right! Price is great and we would recommend them to anyone! Favorite staff members too many to list! Love them all!!

My dachshund buckwheat loves going to playtime. The staff are awesome and he looks forward to seeing them more than the dogs. Terry is a great manager and they are lucky to have her! I always recommend to others.

Angel and I love Playtime Pet Resort in Salisbury! The staff is wonderful! I love looking at the pictures they post. She always looks so happy to be there. I also love how I can drop her off no appointment necessary. I am retired so I don't bring her on a regular schedule just when I am going to be out for an extended period of time. It makes it so convenient for me. Have not boarded her overnight yet but I will not hesitate if the need arises.

The staff at Playtime Pet Resort in Salisbury are outstanding! They love our dog and provide excellent care for daycare, and we also trust them with boarding! They have wonderful add-on opportunities to give your pet extra love when you are away. Our dog always loves his time!

My dog, Arlo, loves to go to Playtime Pet Resort! The staff is always friendly and professional and really show that they're true dog lovers. Everyone always remembers his name too! I bring him frequently during the day and also board him when I go away. I couldn't be happier with their service!

Just brought my two dogs here for the first time. Very easy registration on their website. They had a great first day and now home….nice and tired!! Staff very attentive!!

1st day at Playtime Pet Resort. Space is attractive annd immaculate. Staff greeted me and my dog quickly at front desk . She was friendly reassuring and upbeat Received a “ report card “ at pick up My pup is exhausted after an apparently fun day at Playtime !!

Our dogs go there and they love it. They know exactly where they are going when they’re on their way and get so excited as soon as we pull into the parking lot. The facility also has a ton of extras for the dogs (ie bacon bubbles, one on one playtime, and other fun treats). We love taking them, and they come home pooped everytime !!

We love Playtime Pet Resort in Salisbury. We have sent our dog, Sniper there for about 3 years for day stays and for over nights too. Thanks for always loving him when he visits.

Cindy is wonderful! She has been helping me with my dogs for over 20 years. Currently I have a very fearful female rescue who I would never take to anyone but Cindy. She comes out looking great and happy with her clip. Cindy is a true dog person and can handle any aspect of dog management - walking, boarding, grooming and overall loves what she does.

First time at Cindy’s with my toy Aussie and she did an amazing job. Not only was she able to get me in the following week, which was perfect because he was overdue for a groom. Cindy cut him down perfectly he is so cute! Pictures speak for themselves thank you Cindy! We will be back, might try doggy daycare one day.

Kirby was immediately excited to go to Cindy's for daycare. He has been going to her daycare for over a year - 1-3x per week. Cindy is always accommodating if I need to bring him extra days. He whines with excitement when we get close to her house and when I pick him up, he is so tired and ready to snuggle. Thank you so much for taking good care of my boy, Cindy!

My dog, Jack, absolutely loves going to daycare at Cindy’s! He is so excited when I drop him off, and he comes home happy and tired after a full day of playing with the other dogs :) I’ve also used Cindy for dog boarding and highly recommend her! She took great care of Jack.

Cindy offers a more personal approach to dog care with a private outdoor setting along with indoor accommodations which allow the dogs a laid back stress free environment. Cindy’s obvious love for dogs, professionalism and personal care are the reasons I bring my boy here

Cindy has the best doggy day care around! She is attentive, responsive, and friendly, and her day care is set up and run perfectly. Best of all, she loves dogs. She always take fun pictures of them and sends those to my wife and I, which we really appreciate! I don’t know what we would do without Cindy.

My dog has been going to Cindy for over 5 years. He looks forward to going on his daycare days. Her yard is large and spacious with fun things for the dogs to play with. Her basement is air conditioned and has several crates and beds where the dogs can take a break from the fun outside. She also does grooming, which my dog typically hated before going to Cindy. She always shares photos of their fun and even gives them presents at Christmas (owners included). Highly recommend her daycare to anyone looking.

Cindy has the perfect environment for dogs to safely play with a large fenced in yard and plenty of shade, she is an experienced groomer and I will not bring my Pomeranian anywhere else! My dog comes home happy and smelling good for weeks after being pampered! Highly recommend!

Cindy provides an excellent dog care services including daycare, grooming and boarding. It stems from her caring about the dogs she services and their owners. She is thoughtful, caring and respectful of each dogs and owners needs. In addition, she has thorough knowledge on dog care and discipline. I recommend her services.

Our dog Pip loves Cindy's! He was a fearful rescue when he started, and going to Cindy's with all his friends has helped him grow so much. He comes home from daycare tired and happy from playing all day. Cindy is communicative, takes great care of the doggos, and we're lucky to have her do what she does!

Fantastic group of people! And watching them shows they love their jobs ❤️ our wheaten terrier came home so happy and looking amazing!

They are located in Newton, NH now. Only about 10 minutes from Merrimac. I brought my cat in for the first time today and they were wonderful. Super kind and knowledgeable. My cat developed mats on her backside and they took extremely good care of her. We will definitely be back! Thank you.

I got my haircut my nails done and the staff stroked me in all the right ways. I recommend this place to anyone.

Food is fresh and Michael and his crew are a wonderful.

Great people & terrific dog grooming !

Love these awesome groomers!!!!!

Excellent grooming service!

Pups love to go there

I love A Refreshing Paws!!!
