Dog Sitters in Fiskdale, MA

I sincerely want to thank Lindsay Loves Pets for taking in our Puppers today! She and her husband Alex cared for Buster & Smokey as if they were their own! We met them for the first time yesterday for a short meet and greet and we were greeted with smiles and open arms! Alex and Lindsay were not just interested in what our dogs were like but, how we would like to see them cared for! I will say that our dogs loved them right off the bat! I have to say we did as well! We felt we could totally trust them with our fur babies! The next day we again, were greeted with smiles and open arms from Alex and Lindsay; as if we were family! We had a short chat and off we went sightseeing for the rest of the day and when we returned to pick them up our dogs were happy to see us but, also were content with having been with a new family for the day! Buster and Smokey were pampered one-on-one by Alex and Lindsay by getting walks in the fields, treats, lots of love and snuggles. No kennels here! We should have stayed and let the furry children explore Sturbridge! I would highly recommend Lindsey Loves Pets to pamper your pet! It’s not often you find a doggie daycare that cares for your pet like it’s their own! Thank you again! Tom & Michelle

Lindsay and Alex are great! They watch our cat who needs medication twice a day when we are away. They are responsible and care for our cat as much as we do! They make sure he is fed, gets his medicine and gets a lot of play time and love. I would highly recommend them for anyone in the area looking for a pet sitter!

In September of 2022, a friend reached out to Lindsey Loves Pets to ask for help on my behalf. I have a giant schnauzer (almost 3 years old) who requires consistent exercise, loves his people interactions, and does not go to daycare. Jameson is a great dog - and I was looking for people other than myself to play with him, other dogs, and practice good behavior and manners a couple of times a week. Alex and Lindsey have been a wonderful addition to Jameson’s life as well as mine. They are reliable, flexible, and he loves spending time with them. I know I I can trust the care of my happy boy to them in any situation, as they find ways to enrich his life, not just walk him. I highly recommend them if you are seeking any type of care for your pet.

Lindsay is amazing! She truly understands cat personalities and provides top-notch care for our fur babies. We came home to happy cats and a very clean home. She even took care of the bird feeders while we were away. Lindsay and Alex gave us peace of mind that our cats and home were well cared for in our absence. It’s the first time we were away that we didn’t stress about what was happening at home. Thank you so much!

Alex and Lindsay are fantastic. My four-legged friend is not the easiest. They have provided the highest level of professionalism, crystal clear communications, and knowledge. I am confident my dog is in expert hands and receives the quality attention he needs. I highly recommend them.

We found Lindsay Loves Pets online after our regular boarder retired. We had met with several sitters and in home providers but none seemed right for our pack of three… until we met Lindsay and Alex. We have one boy that’s standoffish and slow to like new people, but by the end of the meet and greet he asked for pets and gave a little nuzzle. Since then (over a year ago now) we have used them numerous times for afternoon breaks when we’re visiting friends and family trips. They bring their A game every time! They send regular pup-dates so we can see what the pack is up to and spend lots of time playing with them and giving them love. Our pack loves “boarding at home” and I love knowing the dogs are well cared for! I also appreciate their flexibility and feel that they really love our dogs as their own!

Lindsey is a lifesaver. She and Alex were able to take care of our ridiculous number of pets at the last minute and did a wonderful job; they took some of the cutest pictures of our pets that we have. Will definitely keep having them care for our herd. Cannot recommend them highly enough.

Such a fun and loving home environment for my 8 mo old lab’s first time apart from us! We enjoyed our trip more knowing she was so happy and loved! She got so much exercise and play time I think she’s healthier after a week with them.🤣 Lindsay sent us daily pictures and fun stories of her new adventures. Loved the pictures of our pup snuggling on the couch watching tv with them each night. Lindsay and Alex also gave so much attention and love to our 15yo lab who has since passed. He needed a lot of extra care and it was a relief to have him safe and happy while staying with Lindsay and Alex. We can’t thank you enough!

Lindsay and Alex took care of our rambunctious 2 year old dog during the weekend of a family wedding. Our pup stayed with us at the Publick House in Sturbridge, but Alex took her for several outings (extended walk/hikes) while we were busy. Our dog was totally tired out after their time together. Lindsay and Alex sent wonderful photos of her having the time of her life. Their communication is excellent - clear, detailed, and consistent - and I felt totally comfortable that we were on the same page about our dog's needs and safety. They were also flexible with some last-minute changes that we requested, which really helped us out. couldn't recommend their services more highly!

Our cats loved Lindsay Loves Pets, and so did we! My mother and I took a weeklong vacation and needed folks to check in on our three cats. Our meet and greet was great and I felt fully confident having them in our home and spending time with our kitties. They let us know what they needed and made everything super easy! Every day we were sent a summary of the visit with photos. Two of our cats are much more outgoing and warmed up to them very quickly. They played, got brushed, and were clearly very well cared for! I was really impressed with how they cared for my cat Hutch. He's very shy so they only saw him a couple of times, but made sure to let us know that he was eating and using his litterbox. I really appreciate that they didn't crowd him and make him uncomfortable. He gets bad dandruff when he's stressed out and when I came back he was completely dandruff-free! We would definitely work with Lindsay Loves Pets again!

I honestly can't say enough good things about this business. I live full time in my motorhome, and frequently stay at a campground in Sturbridge. I mostly stay here due to it's proximity to Boston for medical appointments. The staff at Paw Plaza is unfailingly kind to both me and my two dogs! I usually use Paw Plaza for boarding, which includes day care, which is an awesome benefit. I have multiple times had to extend my boarding times, even on the day that I was supposed to pick my dogs up, and the staff has been understanding and kind about the extensions. I NEVER get any kind of attitude from them whatsoever, even though I'm kind of a pain in the a$$ sometimes :-) Also, they do everything the way that it's supposed to be done. All the i's are dotted and the T's crossed. All of the staff is completely onboard, and you can ask any of them any question, and they can answer it. Their internal communication is outstanding. Living like I do, I have seen boarding establishments all across the country. Paw Plaza is the best that I've come across. I

My 11 month old Labrador loves it there. And the staff are so nice. She comes home and just falls asleep. It's wonderful.😂 …

My 2yr old yellow lab loves this place. He can't wait to get out of the car & go play. He starts dancing in the backseat when we are getting close. I love that they post photos during the day on FB of the dogs.

Paw plaza was able to schedule a last minute reservation. Doc had a great week.

My dog absolutely loves Paw Plaza! She goes for grooming and daycare some days. As soon as she sees the building she gets super excited. I reccomend Paw Plaza to everyone I know with dogs.

We were staying down the road at a RV park and needed a doggie play day and overnight for our two dogs. Everyone I interacted with gave me comfort and confidence that my pets would be well cared for. I was very pleased and will use this business again when in the area.

Paw Plaza is simply a wonderful place to bring your dogs to! The staff at Paw Plaza are all Personable, Utmost Professional, Compassionate and Very Dedicated in their fields of expertise in making sure that every dog that enters through their doors are taken care of 100% with loving care♡ I'm a very Thankful and Grateful customer today!♡:)*

Our pup Maya LOVES this place. We’ve abbreviated paw plaza to the PP otherwise she thinks she going. They take good care of her and we love seeing pictures posted of her on the Facebook page. You can tell the dogs are happy and they help reinforce her training. She knows now that before pick up she walks to the door, sits and patiently waits before they let her out Love this place!

Paw Plaza has been such a find for our pup. He's a very anxious little guy and the first day he went, Hadley, the owner, spent the whole 4 hours he was there with him making him comfortable. We've been going back ever since for daycare & boarding. I can't say enough good things about them! They have helped our dog become a more confident, happy guy!

Absolutely TERRIBLE service and awful staff. Worst boarding experience we've ever encountered. DO NOT SEND YOUR ANIMALS HERE!!!

I have a rescue dog and was advised never to board him, so when my whole family had to travel for a family event, I was a bit panicked. Then I found Woof & Whiskers. Pamela and her team are skilled with animals, their accommodations are clean and comfortable for the pups (and they’re making additions too), the play area is spacious, and overall, it’s a great place with positive energy! We were able to visit before we booked, which was great, and pick up was smooth and easy. Their base boarding fee is reasonable and you can add on services like daycare, walks, grooming, etc…for an additional charge. Overall, it was a great experience and I would not hesitate to bring my dog here again. Thanks Woof & Whiskers Team!

Absolutely amazing. We had taken our little Nino to Petco for grooming which was a disaster. He came back with his coat all uneven and smelling foul. We decided to try Woof and Whiskers and were so happy with the wonderful job they did! Jaqui is so professional and knowledgeable. We couldn’t be happier with how handsome our baby boy looks! Model material!

Excellent care of our pup Ruby. Great grooming and boarding services. Have used them 3 times now and never been disappointed and always come back to a happy pup! Will definitely use them again!

Took a friend to drop off her two pets(dog&cat)to be cared for while she was having surgery it turned out being longer than expected. She was pleased with the care and prices were bad compared to other local places.

We love woof and whiskers inn they are so accommodating!! The owner is so passionate about animals and I love that ! We boarded our dog ace here. It was the first time he’s ever been boarded . The owner took such good care of ace ace he has so issues and she was so accommodating to them. Ace came home a happy boy! She even sent him over to her grooming side for us for pick up and didn’t charge us for another day . I would absolutely recommend this place for your fur baby . :)

I am the founder of Big Hair Animal Rescue and I have been using Jacqui for years. She's an amazing groomer and great with our often challenging dogs. Highly recommend her!

On Saturday, May 25th. I called Woof & Whiskers Inn. Benji Piche was sick and needed some immediate attention.At a moments notice they provided outstanding care with gentleness to Benji.I can't Thank Cindy enough. Her love ❤️ for the animals is phenomenal. Cindy & Jackie do great grooming as well. Thank you both for the great services. You's both go above, & beyond. One happy doggie/Benji 🐶 Dawn L Piche

We boarded our AmStaff Maverick at Woof and Whisker Inn for 6 nights. We couldn't have been happier, family owned/run. You can tell they genuinely care about and get to know your pet compared to the more commercial chains. Rates were very reasonable, highly recommended.

We boarded our cat Layla for a week. They took wonderful care of her. I was a little nervous but the sent me pictures of her and would text me with updates and answers to and questions.

My dogs are always happy to see me after work trips but they always have fun with the staff and other dogs during boarding. Decent price, nice, clean facility, great staff. They love animals. You can trust them to take good care of your fur baby.

Buxters recently took care of our two kitties (Pumpkin and Lola). Auntie Jay was amazing!!!! She followed all care instructions and even spent extra time with them each day to play. She also sent updates and photos every day. We can’t wait to use her again in the future.

Five stars for Buxter's Paw on all counts! Aunty Jay visited the house ahead of time and was totally prepared and professional with all plans and paperwork. Shy cat walked right up and made friends. While I was away, she sent daily pix and updates. She had both cats (who usually would be under the bed) out and interacting -- miraculous! When I returned, kitties were happy, and everything was neat as a pin. Aunty Jay even washed the food bowls for me, which was above and beyond. Excellent communication about the schedule. Most important: animals trust her. I recommend without reservation!

We couldn't be happier with Buxter's pet sitting service! Aunti J was absolutely amazing with our African Grey parrot, providing exceptional care and attention. Aunti J made us feel completely reassured and safe while we were traveling, knowing our feathered friend was in the best hands. We highly recommend her service and will definitely be using it again in the future!

I had an exceptional experience with Auntie Jay’s pet sitting service, especially with her expertise in birds. My ring neck parakeet, Kia, had a delightful time and even learned to say ‘peekaboo’ within two weeks! Auntie Jay’s patience and attentive care, including daily photo updates, made me feel like Kia was treated as part of her family. I am immensely grateful and will definitely be returning. Highly recommend her services to other pet owners!

Great work with my 2 dogs She when above n beyond for their care. She not only took care of them she also followed up with me to check of them n kept an open communication with me and help me with some off the allergies that I was dealing with them. N I made the change it n now there are find Luv her services

I feel so lucky to have found Aunty Jay pet sitting services, I felt at ease having my baby stay with her while I was away overseas, she took care of my pet just like if she was his owner! I’m very thankful for the great care she provided to my pet, She’s very caring, sweet and very knowledgeable ! She’s amazing ! I recommend her 100% ! ❤️

Aunty Jay is a delight to work with. My cats adore her. She gives me peace of mind whenever I'm out of town. Highly recommend. Very trustworthy.

Amazing service! Cared for our cat like it was her own. Very knowledgeable about everything! Vets had gave us an antibiotic for him for the scratching she knew what it was and told us he didn’t need it. And sure enough the rash went away.

I have been using her services now for several years. And in my 40 years of pet ownership I have never found anyone more trustworthy or reliable. She has watched my pets for weeks on end, at my home or at hers. She has been their walker. She has taken them to vet appointments. She was even there with me when one of them passed. I could not recommend her more highly.

Aunty Jay did a great job taking care of my free roam rabbit. She was extremely professional checking in on my rabbit while I was away and making sure I knew my pet was cared for! Highly recommend to pet parents who are looking for a pet sitter that will love their pet as their own!

We met Tim back around 2002. After using 2 other pet sitting services that lied & put our pets at serious risk...They said they were at our place ,but they both lied. That's when I did a extensive search for a new pet sitter. We found Summit Pet Sitting , we met with Tim & looked over his all his referrals & found them to be terrific ... One of my cats was Diabetic & Tim is totally trained in giving injections. Both our cats were loving cats .Merlin was a dog in a cats body. Sheba was a bit more of a one person cat, but in time Tim was able to gain her trust. If we asked Tim to call or other certain requests he was awesome. He is loyal, trustworthy & caring person. I can not endorse Tim & Summit Pet Sitting enough.

Tim has been caring for our dogs and fish in our home for the past 7 years. We are now moving out of state and literally the worst part about leaving is that we will no longer have Tim around to take care of our animals (we tried to convince him to go with us but he politely declined). We found Tim 7 years ago after a bad experience with a previous pet sitter. Before we found Tim, we had been ready to cancel a trip because we were no longer comfortable leaving our dogs with the pet sitter we had been using. We found Tim, called his (glowing) references, had him over to meet our animals, and we hired him at the last minute. Since then, he has probably stayed at our house at least 25 times over the years. We have had our dogs stay at his house several times as well. Tim is very flexible and accommodating. Our dogs love him. He probably takes better care of them than we do. We never worry at all anymore when we have to travel because we know they are in very good hands. We would 1000% recommend him to anyone who is looking for the absolute best care for their fur-kids!

Tim has stayed with our 2 dogs and 2 cats twice while we went on vacation. It is much less stressful on the pets to have someone stay with them in their regular environment rather than boarding. Tim takes great care of them, and sends daily updates and pictures! The dogs are always happy and tired from lots of play time when we get home. I highly recommend Summit Pet Sitting!

Tim has been our dog-sitter for the past few years and he has consistently provided us with reliable service. Most recently, Tim watched our dogs during our honeymoon. He noticed one of our dogs had a foot infection and took her to the vet after consulting us. We are grateful his attentiveness to our dogs' well-being led to a speedy recovery. He writes daily reports on our dogs' activities and also takes care of your mail/plants/others as needed. In addition, our dogs love seeing Tim whenever he walks into the apartment -- this gives us a tremendous peace of mind when we have to leave them home. We highly recommend Tim for pet-sitting services.

Timothy Smith is the owner of Summit Pet Sitting. He has been walking our Lhasa Apso "Lexi " three mornings a week for nearly three years. During that stretch he has never missed an appointment. On the rare occasion he can't make it he finds a substitute walker so our service is uninterrupted. You cannot find reliability like that anywhere! Besides his dependability, Timothy is very trustworthy. He has had a key to our home for the duration of the relationship. He can be counted on to let himself into the house, leash & walk our dog, responsibly dispose of the poop, fill the food & water dishes, and lock the door on the way out. In the beginning Tim made sure the dog was comfortable with him. It didn't take long for Lexi to warm up to him and now she looks forward to seeing him! Timothy also will administer medications to Lexi whenever necessary such as the time she had an ear infection and needed ointment applied. He also reports anything unusual like the time Lexi had a urinary tract infection. He noticed blood in her urine and texted a picture to me right away so we could bring her to the vet ASAP. We also board our dog with Tim whenever we travel. He will bring Lexi to his house and care for her like she is his own pet. In addition to his top notch service, Timothy is very reasonably priced. He provides excellent value but most importantly he puts our minds at ease knowing Lexi is in safe hands. He also seamlessly handled a few instances where we had a second dog at our house and treated that dog exactly the same as Lexi at no additional cost. I highly recommend Summit Pet Sitting for all your pet needs!

Tim is awesome. We have 3 hounds, Cora, Mojo and Bennie. They loved being cared by him. He sends pictures and truly cares about his guests. We have used him twice and were extremely satisfied. When we mention his name the tails begin to wag profusely. My wife and I get jealous. Highly recommend this company. Safe, reliable, dependable and affordable pet care.

Summit Pet Sitting is the best. Tim gets my dog. She is an older dog and can get stubborn and cranky. Tim still gets her to walk and play and makes sure she is cared for and safe. He also gives her her medications and never charges extra fees like the kennels do. I could not recommend him more highly. I can go on vacation with total peace of mind.

Tim has always been great with our dogs, and you can tell from the very first encounter that he is an animal person through and through. We always know that boarding with him is their home away from home, and can’t recommend his services enough!

Dealing with Tim is fantastic! Tim took care of our lab "Sarge" for a few days while we were on vacation and we didn't worry once about his care. We would receive daily updates and picture/videos of him hanging out and during playtime. It was a great experience dealing with Summit Pet Sitting.

We have a 3 year old Boxer mix named Koda who is a rescue. She is incredibly wary and fearful of strangers and loudly announces her feelings. We are trying to work on this with her but we still have a ways to go! We recently got married and on that weekend, lost our trusted dog sitter as they were also at the wedding. We got a recommendation from a good friend of ours who is also a local town’s Animal Control Officer. We highly value her opinion as she is working with dogs like Koda daily and if she vouches for someone, it’s for a reason. We spoke with Tim and right away knew that we liked him, but he wanted to be sure that KODA would like HIM. We set up a meeting and Tim came over for an hour to introduce himself to Koda and see how things went. She was initially wary, as she always is, but Tim’s warm nature and experience with difficult dogs showed immediately as Koda very quickly warmed up to him. His knowledge of dog behavior and confidence with reactive dogs made the whole meeting process go smoothly and we were ready to proceed. Tim was willing to watch Koda in his home as we felt like that would be the best option for her. He set up another meeting with us to make sure that that Koda would be receptive to staying at his house and would get along with his dog Rose. Upon arrival at his house, Koda immediately recognized him and leapt in his lap, licking his face! The weekend he watched her went off without a hitch and Tim sent update messages and pictures to keep our mind at ease. All in all, we HIGHLY recommend Tim to anyone needing a dog sitter, be it for a super friendly dog or for one with special requirements like ours. We are incredibly thankful to have found Tim and are thrilled to have found our new dog sitter for the future!

I have nothing but amazing things to say about Maria! I’ve never left my dogs with anyone besides family and I was very nervous as she would be watching them for a week. She sent pictures and videos every day and gave me updates of how they were doing and adjusting. I know they were well taken care of and I will absolutely continue to send my dogs to Maria!!

I left my senior dog at doggy good time for two weeks. I have never been happier. We met Maria first and made sure that her house was suitable and comfortable for our dog. Our dog came back super happy and I know well taken care of. She sent daily pictures of our dog, which made us feel at ease. I would give her 10 stars instead of five. I will definitely send my dog back when we go on vacation next year.

Our Golden Retriever Lizzy stayed with Maria at Doggie Good Time while we had a weekend away. Our pup can be a little anxious but she felt right at home! Maria kept us posted with pictures and status updates while gone. Maria is an awesome woman who truly cares for pups! It can be hard to find someone trustworthy to take in our pups! Don't look any further if you're looking for daycare and/or boarding.

This is a great place to leave your beloved pet when you are away from home. Maria, the owner of A Doggie Good Time, has mastered the art of pet care. She is very organized, lives in a nice neighborhood, and her home is well maintained. She is as interested in meeting you and your pet, prior to finalizing a reservation, as you will be to meet her and view her property. Maria takes the time to learn about all of your pet's needs. Day of drop off, she will meet you at your car to bring your pet into her lovely sanctuary that she has created. You will need to bring very little.....their food, meds, your shirt for your dog to keep near, a familiar toy. Maria takes care of the rest. Her spacious backyard is fenced in and has clean artificial grass with a drainage feature and cement. If your dogs like to socialize there will be multiple 4-legged friends to play with. Maria even sends pictures with updates on how your pet is faring. You can leave your pet with Maria worry-free because this truly is a home away from home. Michele Monti

I was looking for a dog sitter that is more like a home environment for my two dogs. My older dog doesn't do well in you traditional kennel environment, he gets very stressed. My husband and I travel a lot so i was looking for someone who i could trust. I found Maria with her home daycare. After spending time in her daycare I couldn't be happier! When I picked up my dogs they were well taking care of, happy, stress-free and tired. I am completely happy with Maria her services. It's nice to have someone you could leave your dogs with and not have to worry about if they are being taking care of.

This family was great! My dogs were so happy and free. A Doggie good time is a great place to board or daycare. They really care for your animals or babies. I was gone for almost 2 weeks and my doggies didn't wanna leave. It proves she is doing right with our babies. Thank you Maria and your family

Our Goldendoodle Molson stayed at A Doggie Good Time and it was an awesome experience. He had so much fun during his overnight stay. He normally gets high separation anxiety and has a hard time being away from us. With Maria, he did not have any anxiety! She is extremely trustworthy and your dog will be in GREAT hands in a safe environment. Highly recommend!

I could not recommend Maria and A doggie good time enough! The worst part about going out of town has always been leaving the dog behind. Now it is not even a worry- while we go on vacation, Griffey gets to go on vacation too and he absolutely loves it. I have a very hyper dog who wants to play fetch nonstop, when I pick him up he is ready for nap after all of his playtime. Maria is just the best!

Maria is just the best and I never worry about my dog when she is with Maria and her family. She’s communicative, sends updates and photos, and always thinks of the dog’s comfort. I’ve been going to Maria for sitting for over 2 years and she’ll always be my first choice! Highly recommend A Doggie Good Time.

The owner of A Doggie Good Time, Maria is absolutely amazing with all the dogs she cares for. From the first time we met Maria, my puppy was crazy about her and whenever I mention that we are going to see Maria at doggie daycare my puppy absolutely vibrates he is so excited to see her! Her home and backyard are pristine. Zeus comes home exhausted from playing all day. I would recommend A Doggie Good Time to any of my friends and family who need doggie daycare or boarding. Maria is so flexible with drop off and pick up. I have to be at work early so finding a place that opened early enough for me was very important. I couldn’t be happier with choosing A Doggie Good Time for my puppy Zeus.
