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!
Kelly was a wonderful pet sitter and house sitter! Our dog Cooper adored her. She sent us pictures several times a day and he was always snuggling with her. She kept in touch with us regularly. We have never left our baby before and we were anxious about it but we ended up feeling totally comfortable with Cooper in Kelly’s care. She also kept our potted plants alive during a heat wave and took great care of the house. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
Lani is an excellent Pet Sitter and housesitter. Communication was easy, our pet Cleo appreciated her loving care. We came home to a relaxed and happy cat. I would happily ask Lani to housesit again.
Kelly was flawless, she was a fantastic pet sitter and house sitter. She was over communicating with pictures and updates. We were at total peace knowing Kelly was overseeing Leo and Bella. Kelly connected with our dogs perfectly. We loved how Kelly daily took our dogs for walks and even an extended hikes. She has our full and complete recommendation.
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!
Sharon was a fantastic sitter for our week away! She left the house as tidy and clean as we left it, including changing the sheets for our arrival. I truly cannot even tell she was here and that made coming home after a long travel day so much easier. She was communicative every step of the way and provided daily updates on our cat with photos. We knew our home and pet were in good hands! I would gladly welcome Sharon back any time should we be so lucky : )
I had the pleasure of having Tracey and her two children as house sitters, and I can't praise them enough for the incredible job they did. From the moment they stepped into our home, it was evident that they were dedicated, caring, and attentive to every detail. First and foremost, Tracey's approach to caring for our house and our beloved pets was nothing short of excellent. She has an innate ability to connect with animals, and it was clear from the daily updates and photos that our pets were happy and thoroughly pampered. The house was kept in immaculate condition, and they treated it with the utmost respect as if it was their own. Moreover, Tracey demonstrated remarkable responsibility and initiative when our AC system unexpectedly broke down. Without hesitation, she arranged for an HVAC company to come and fix the issue, taking time from her day to ensure our home was taken care of. Her willingness to front the repair costs until I could reimburse her was an act of kindness and trust that you rarely see. Tracey and her children's thoughtfulness and thoroughness provided me with peace of mind during my time away, which is priceless. I returned to a home that was just as I left it, if not better. Their stay was characterized by an extraordinary level of care and I was particularly impressed by how they left the house in perfect condition, with happy pets to welcome me back. I wholeheartedly recommend Tracey to any future hosts. Her reliability, compassion, and the ability to handle unexpected situations with grace are commendable. I would welcome Tracey and her children back to house sit in a heartbeat – they are exactly the kind of house sitters that one hopes for on this site! Thank you, Tracey, for everything. You and your children are welcome back anytime!
I could not have asked for a better first time sitter experience! Terry & Vinnie were absolutely wonderful people. They took stellar care of my beloved pets and my home. Their communication with me was enough that I felt perfectly at ease during my time away and in turn, they were super responsive if I contacted them. My pets were relaxed and happy when I returned!
Laura was amazing with communication from the very beginning. She sent updates of photos and videos without even being told or asked to do so. She was watching our cat and treated her like her own. Laura was also very responsive when we were trying to find a sitter for our dates and answered any and all questions we had about her experience with pets and house sitting. I would recommend her to anyone! :) and hope we can have her house sit again for us.
Absolutely Incredible.... I will not lie, I was hesitant because David did not have any pet sits before this one (gotta start somewhere) but because he did the background check I decided to contact him. We had a great phone conversation and the decision was made. He came to my house the night before I was leaving to learn all the ins and outs of taking care of my fur babies and then put himself up in a hotel for the night before the sit date. The next day he came over in the morning to learn a few more details before I left. I could not have chosen a better house sitter for my 2nd house sit . David communicated with me daily, sent pictures and we spoke via facetime. My little guy was feeling sick when David started and with diligence, love and kindness he was able to get my little guy eating again and feeling better. I would invite David back into my home over and over again but I am pretty sure he is going to be in high demand. Thank you David for everything!

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.
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!!
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
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!
Under My Wing is the best! They are so good to my animals. They treat my babies like they are their own.
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 !
I gave this kennel a top review shortly after the new owners took over. I was very, very impressed with them then and now, a year later, I wanted to update my review to say that they're even better than I expected them to be. We travel a lot and we're always able to enjoy our trips because we don't need to worry about the furry members of our family. Our two dogs are so excited to be there when we arrive and they always receive lots of love and attention from the staff. Truly Balanced is fabulous!
Tori, Genevieve and Dylan are wonderful staff, every time I drop off my girl Maggie she is ecstatic to go in. Clean environment. You can definitely tell that the staff puts a lot of time and effort into making sure that your pup is as comfortable as possible and stays active and sociable. On nights that I’ve had to be away their boarding is absolutely amazing and is by far one of the most comforting places to leave my pup. Maggie has had multiple training sessions and after only a few sessions with TBDC you can definitely see positive improvements. If you’re going to place your dog anywhere for boarding, training or daycare, this is definitely the spot to go!
We feel confident leaving our dog Lady at Truly Balanced Dog Care while we travel. They have been great with her and our experience only gets better each time. They keep us updated and informed if any issues come up during her stay. Lady is always excited when we pull into TBDC which is a reassuring feeling. We fully trust them to take the best care of our dog while we are away. Thank you all for being so kind to Lady!
When I leave my boy there I am confident in the great quality training and care that is provided, I never have to worry that my boy isn’t being taken care of! The training Dylan gives is great, he works with me to see what issues I might have to work on and is always at the forefront of what is best for my dog! The progress that my boy has made is tremendous and I get comments from my friends about how well behaved he is compared to before!
I am actually blown away by my experience with truly balanced dog! I was a little bit skeptical at first, because my dog was really out of control, and I had doubts about his ability to be trained but this training service came highly highly recommended from a friend of mine, who has had phenomenal results with her three very out of control dogs and I trusted her referral. I’m so glad that I did. I boarded my dog for three weeks, and when I went to pick him up, it was like he was a different dog in the best of all ways! I truly can’t believe it. He is obedient, he is far less hyper and so much easier to live with and manage. The biggest challenge for me is getting myself trained to maintain the training that he received but I was given excellent advice in that regard, and I was told that I can come back at any time for further instruction. I would highly recommend their services to anyone! It was worth every penny!
The love the staff shows for each individual dog is amazing. The place is very clean and comfortable for the dogs. True balance dog care is owned and run by family that works well and cohesively together. The staff is very pleasant and personable.
I am so relieved to have found a local small business that takes such good care of my dog, Feta. She seems so happy coming from and going to the facility. The staff couldn’t be kinder and it seems like they just love what they do. Thank you all. I am SO grateful.
We love TBDC! My rambunctious labs have attended daycare, boarded for a week and were groomed. They are sweet boys but are a handful and the staff accepts them as they are which gives me great peace of mind. I also wanted to note TBDC was very accommodating when we had to unexpectedly extend their stay by a handful of days. Thank you!
Tori, Dylan and all TBDC employees take such great care of their boarding, daycare, and day school pups. The time and energy they put into the kennel and all the dogs there is unmatched. My family has boarded our dog there numerous times and sometimes our pup doesn’t even want to leave because he’s having so much fun. He has such a great time there and loves playing with his friends. They care about our dog and makes sure he is taken care of and safe during his stay. I highly recommend TBDC if you are looking for day care, boarding, or training. You won’t regret it and you’ll never doubt if your dogs are in good hands.
After speaking with Dylan and him agreeing to watch my parents’ dog, he ghosted us and we never heard back from him again despite reaching out multiple times. This is an extremely unprofessional way to run a business and left us hanging last minute.
