Rose
Rose and mark were fantastic. Very professional and caring sitters. I never felt that I needed to worry about anything. They left my home in the condition as if they had never been there. I, absolutely couldn't have been more impressed and pleased.

Annie
Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.

Jordan
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!

Francesco
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!

Hannah
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!

Misti
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!

Lilly
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.

Gwynn
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!

Courtenay
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle

Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.

Julian
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

We feel like we’ve won the pet and house sitter lotto with Scott. Most importantly, he’s taken great care of our much loved little dog, giving him a lot of care, affection and attention. He paid close attention when Tingsha began scratching (allergy to an insect bite) which needed vet care, with great communication with us. He even took Tingsha to his agility school class each week (great fun had by all) and to get a groom. We’ve come home to a contented and very happy dog. The house is spotless, cleaner than we left it, with fresh flowers and the bed all made up. Perfect! We had regular contact with Scott all through our five week trip and being “fellow travellers” (in all senses) enjoyed sharing lots of local travel tips and experiences as we each visited new parts of the world. We were happy to lend Scott our car and he’s been great with it, super responsible. Scott is a really terrific guy and a fabulous journalist and story teller (you must listen to his podcast about his travels, it’s a cracker). In sharing our home and trusting our beloved dog with him, we feel like we’ve made a new friend along the way. We recommend Scott without any hesitation and thank him for a wonderful experience, we’d love him to come back and see us, anytime. Thanks a bunch!

Leslie and Kyle set the bar for all other pet sitters! On the first morning of their stay my cat got out due to a faulty window in my apartment and they handled the situation so well. Leslie sent a text explaining what happened and that my cat had returned safely and she was so calm about the whole thing that it put me at ease for the rest of my trip. Kyle went above and beyond and not only fixed the window screen (he actually fixed two screens during their stay!) but also made sure the window was secure until maintenance could come and fix the issue. Their go with the flow attitude was amazing. I would 100% have them sit for me again! I can not recommend them enough. You would be lucky to have Leslie and Kyle as your sitters :)
Allison
Once again, having AnnaMarie take care of our pups was absolutely the right choice!! Her frequent updates, care of our house and fur babies was stellar! Although the dogs were thrilled to see us when we returned, as we chatted with Annemarie, we could see them continuing to go to her for affection and cuddles. It was so sweet to watch our one-year-old lick her ear and Annamarie just giggled and happily tolerated it. What a great sport😎. We would highly recommend her to anyone and would also suggest if you happen to see a less than perfect review for her ( there is only 1)I know the true story... it's unfortunate that some people are so unappreciative of someone who will go out of their way to care for their home and Pets (at no charge🙃🙃)-- it just boggles my mind and am confident they are not being honest! Suffice it to say she is a gem and perfect sitter in every way- if you can get a chance to book with her- do not hesitate! We truly think of her as part of our family now and all 5 of our pups would agree!

Angela did a great job caring for Willie for 10 days while we were out of town. She was easy to communicate with and kept us informed about Willie, along with sending photos of him out on walks and at the beach. Angela was very accomodating when we needed to come home a day early - Thank you! The house was left in good shape and it's clear that Angela is organized and reliable and clearly loves her pet charges. I'd recommend Angela and will definitely include her as one of our top sitter choices in the future! Thanks again, Angela!

Not only did Krista take great care of our cat while we were away, she left the house cleaner than she found it. She also kept in touch with occasional photos and videos of kitty antics, which gave me peace of mind that the cat was well-cared for. We definitely recommend her as a house and pet sitter and would ask her again in the future!
John
Kyle was a great house sitter and pet sitter for us. We had a good dialogue prior to him sitting for us, and we also did a short walkthrough the week before. Kyle formed a great bond with our dog Charlie and also took good care of our rabbit Poppy. A couple of minor issues came up with systems in our home due to an unexpected power outage, and Kyle was quick to connect with us and then was able to work 1:1 with the service providers to resolve the issues. We look forward to working with Kyle again.
Nanette
Angie and her husband Joe were a great fit for our house and pet sitting needs! They kept in communication with us before our vacation started, and were able to arrive a little early so we could walk them through how various systems worked and where controls were located. Our dog bonded with Angie very quickly and I think he was hoping she would stay after we returned home :) We got regular updates and pet photos while we were traveling. Although we were out of cell phone range for several days, we never had a doubt that things at home would be just fine while they were there! They were also very flexible and understanding. Due to our flight schedule we arrived home in the middle of the night. Angie was able to feed and walk our dog, clean up and leave in the morning without waking us up! The house was left clean, the garden was thriving and our pup was happy. We are happy, and would be happy to have them back again as sitters anytime.

Laura is hands down the best sitter that we have ever had care for our pets and house! Having her stay made our trip away so care free and added a super fun layer of getting her daily (morning and night!) updates with photos and videos, some were hilarious I love Laura’s sense of humor! We were gone 8 days and when’s we arrived home our house was cleaner than when we left, mail on the counter, yard was picked up, it was beyond what we would expect. This made our first day back so easy. Oh’ and our pets were so relaxed and happy we knew they were loved and taken care of while we were away. Laura knew that we were coming home late and she even had bought a yummy quiche, rolls, fruit and juice so that we had breakfast in the morning! Laura is responsive, a great communicator, I could go on but simply put she is welcome at our house anytime. Simply the best!! Thank you tons Laura!!
Wanda
What an amazing couple we had as pet sitters for our two dogs! You can truly feel their love for animals. Nancy sent pictures a couple of times letting us know that they were having fun also with our Cody and Carson! Our home was perfect when we got home. They even left a beautiful potted flower and card on our island in our kitchen. We highly recommend this couple! Jim & Wanda
Marcia
Heath spent a long weekend at my home taking great care of both dogs and the cat. He was able to help out on rather short notice, and I felt very comfortable leaving my pets in his care. Heath is friendly and reliable and left my home neat and tidy. I would definitely recommend him as a house/pet sitter for future assignments!

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.

I wish I could give more than 5 stars for Lisa and the team at Seacoast Pet Care. They are highly experienced and the facility has so many options for running, structured play, and fun for your dog. My dog had some anxiety and Lisa and her team got to know him and helped him be very successful there. I started bringing him more frequently because he loved his time there so much. The team cared about us, gave me excellent advice, and were so friendly to work with. They find which dogs are friends with each other and pair them up, and make sure that your dog has a fun experience. Lisa is super responsive and I always feel like my dog is in the very best care. Finally, they share pics on their Facebook page each day so you can see all of the fun your dog is having. I highly recommend them!
Lisa and all the other staff are phenomenal! Jackson and I are so grateful for this heavenly daycare. Jackson runs in there to see all his friends . It’s quite adorable! I never have to worry when I leave my little guy there. They are so loving and fabulous . He has the best time! Grateful for lisa and all the wonderful staff including Courtney , Erin and Lisa’s niece and anyone else I’m forgetting .
Lisa and her staff are amazing! She genuinely cares for each of the animals she takes care of. Tank isn't usually receptive to just anyone and he gets excited when he sees me turn onto her street! Can't say enough about Seacoast Pet Sitting. The best!
The best and only place for my 'dog child.' Words can not express. Daycare is the absolute best gift I can give to my dog. It keeps her exercising, in shape and mentally settled when she is home. I save on my vet bills. My vet says my dog is all muscle and one of the healthiest dogs they see in the clinic. Thank you to all at Seacoast Pet!
The absolute best pet sitting service! I know my dogs are well taken care of, happy and loved when they are in the care of Seacoast Pet Sitting.

These folks are the best! I have been using Under My Wing of Belmont, MA for the past seven years, and the service is great. I can always be sure that my pets are well cared for, and that everything is in tip-top shape.
They are the ONLY dog walkers I trust with my show agility Australian Shepard... my dog loves Joe and he takes great care of him when I am traveling.
Great Pet sitters. They really care. Reasonable prices and great service !

Our dogs LOVE when we drop them off at Paws 4 Play! They come home completely exhausted from all the fun they get to have in the two big yards, the large indoor play area and pool! They are our babies and we feel confident leaving them in the safety and care of Doug and Jen (and all of the other great staff). It is great dropping our dogs there knowing they are truly loved by everyone. We have been bringing our dogs to Paws 4 Play for 7 years and we couldn’t be happier. We highly recommend Paws 4 Play Dog Daycare for anyone who needs affordable and safe care for their pup!
My fur baby, Captain, has been attending Paws 4 Play since he was four months old and he has really grown up at daycare with Jenn and Doug. I cannot say enough great things about them and the business they run. They take great care of my dog and he always comes home exhausted after a day of play with his friends!
I feel like we were very fortunate to have had our young dog Chester at Paws 4 Play for almost a year (he now lives mostly in Salem with our daughter). Jen and Doug are caring, accommodating and safety conscious. It was a perfect fit for our family and a very fulfilling experience for our family dog. Chester was always happy and excited on P4P mornings. Many Thanks
Owners take such good care of our girl! She loves going to daycare and always comes home tired! Not to mention all the love Arwen tries to give lol We also LOVE all the pictures/videos they post on Facebook of our furbaby playing!
Our yellow lab has been going to Paws4Play for nine years! He is excited to go play with his friends and comes home tired every day. Jen & Doug @ Paws4Play have been his 2nd family and take great care of him each week and anytime we’ve boarded him too! Thank you!!!
Paws for play is more than just a place to bring your dog for the day. Complete with furnished rooms, a huge backyard with a pool, and even air-conditioning, your dog will feel pampered. But the most important reason to chose this place is because of the owners. One of the reasons we brought them there is so my husband and I could go on vacation and not worry if my pets were being taken care of properly. Doug and Jen treated Rocky and Lita like they were part of their family, including bringing Rocky camping during overnights. I remember them having Rocky sleep with them in their bed during the early days. Knowing they were happy and having a great time was all I needed to be able to enjoy my vacation. And I know they loved it because whenever we would pack a suitcase and get ready to go on vacation Rocky would sit by the door and wag his tail and get all excited because he knew where he was going. Lita had a few disabilities in her older years including being deaf and blind and Doug and Jen were more than willing to give her the extra attention she needed. They never made me feel that she wasn’t welcome and whatever she needed they would bend over backwards to make sure she was safe and happy. Rocky as well needed extra attention with being on many medications and they still had no problem adding that extra task. Jen was with me in the ER when it was Lita’s time and when it was Rocky’s time they had me bring him by to say goodbye. Lots of tears but it was amazing to see the love they had for my dogs. So when choosing a place that your dog will spend his days, and sometimes nights, pick the place that will love and care for your dog as much as you do. PAWS FOR PLAY 🐶 Lori Brasseur
Paws 4 Play is one very special place. Not only was my dog well cared for...he was also loved by the entire staff. 5 stars aren't enough!

Scott has been walking our dog Murphy for several months now and has pet sat while we went on vacation. He even dog sat last minute recently for us. We’ve since added a puppy and he is also working with us with the obedience training. He is very knowledgeable and patient with the dogs. I highly recommend Scott’s business.
Scott has cared for our two Huskies for over a year now and we could not be happier. Our dogs love their time with Scott and we have peace of mind knowing they are taken care of whether we are at work or away on a trip. I give Fish to Fur the highest recommendation possible.
Scott has been walking our dog for couple years now. The BEST dog walker. Highly recommend him - reliable, responsible and professional.
We have used Scott at Fish to Fur Pet Care for about a year and have been very happy with the excellent care of our two dogs Zoey and Lilly. He has many skills that we have utilized such as training and boarding . Scott is great about communicating any concerns or follow through that he feels need to be addressed.Scheduling is always convenient and flexible to our needs. Our dogs are well taken care of daily or when we are away. Nancy and John Holt

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
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!
Cindy is WONDERFUL!! We got us in a bind by adopting our “foster” dog and we were not going to be able to leave him with neighbors or bring him with us. When I called Cindy she was super nice and helpful but also asked a lot of questions about our dog which I appreciated truthfully, that told me she genuinely cares about the other dogs that she cares for on a daily basis and wants to make sure he would be a good fit. We met with Cindy in person a week before our vacation and I was instantly at ease and knew our pup would be in excellent hands. She sent us an update along with pictures without being asked and was very responsive when we reached out to her while we were gone. When we returned, we picked our little guy up and I could tell he was taken care of. Can you see the smile on his face? I would definitely recommend Cindy to anyone who has anxiety about leaving your family pup. She is awesome! And she was even able to crate train our little guy while we were away which is super helpful.
