We are knew to zeewoi and Abbi & Martin were our first sitters. We were naturally slightly apprehensive but Abbi and Martin were exactly what we were looking for……super friendly, organised and compassionate & undestanding towards our dogs. They arrived the day before our departure which gave us the opportunity for us to spend some time with our pups together, show them around the location and relax over a glass of wine and dinner in the evening. The house was spotlessly clean on our return, massive bonus! We definitely recommend this lovely couple and are very happy we made the decision to join this site, big up zeewoi!
This was the second time Meg sat for us and her second visit was as good as the first! Meg asked to do the second sit and we were delighted to accept; despite knowing how the sit worked Meg communicated before the sit started to remind us of her reliability and kept us posted of her arrival. During the sit we were heard from Meg just the right amount and knew our dogs were in capable hands. The dogs were very chilled on our return - always a good indicator they have been well cared for, and our house was as clean and tidy as on our departure. Thank you Meg.

After adopting my rescue in October, I immediately got him into training classes here and we haven’t stopped since! We’ve done positive training level 1 and 2, dog sport, and multiple levels of nose work. Each class has been amazing and I’ve gained so much knowledge from the trainers as a first time dog owner. I have boarded my dog here both for the day and over night and I love seeing how excited he gets when we pull into the parking lot. Every staff member knows him by name and genuinely cares about him and get excited to see him come in. There prices are extremely reasonable for the level of care and love that is shown to your pet during their stay! I can not say enough positive things about Champion Kennels!
My boys love Sherry , best place for a grooming session. Also, I have done training here in the past. Great instructors, well ran kennel facility.
We recently boarded our dog and cat overnight at Champion for several days, and we couldn’t be happier with their kindness, care, and professionalism! Both pets had little to no experience with boarding, and so we were a bit apprehensive about leaving them in an unfamiliar place. Everyone at Champion was so kind and patient with us, answering all of our questions and reassuring us that our pets were in good hands! Plus, we were really pleased at how clean and spacious their facilities were. While we were away, Champion staff were extremely responsive when we asked for updates/photos, and at pickup, we were thrilled to see how happy our pets were. It was clear that they were very well cared for! They also came home with little report cards about their stay, which was a great personal touch. We’ll certainly be using Champion’s services again, if need be. Thanks to everyone there who made this such a positive experience for us!
The only place I trust with my dog. They also offer some fantastic classes
After a horrible experience with a boarder in Sudbury Mass my Vet recommended that I try Champion Kennels in Sterling. My babies have had 2 day visits and one overnight. They have been loved and welcomed by the staff and I could not be more pleased. I can now leave Howie and Charlotte knowing they are not only well cared for they are happy. Cannot say enough good things about Champion Kennels!
They are a complete Kennel. They offer many different type of classes. My best behaved dogs have been trained at Champion Kennels. I currently attend a class with Kris. She has been wonderful with my dogs. She understand dog behavior and explains why the dogs do things so you can understand how to train them. Within 6 months I was able to get an obedience title on my dog. They have top quality dog food and toys for sale. They have great kennels and grooming for your dogs. Everything you need for your dog is here.
Recommended. Will be back for cat boarding! Allowed me to use my cats dry brand of food to avoid stomach upset. My cat gets car sick and they cleaned him up on my arrival. Friendly staff and hours are more convenient for picking up and dropping off compared to some other boarding facilities. Definitely worth visiting Champion kennels if you need pet boarding. Edit: Unfortunately they have become more popular for cat boarding and they went up their rate to the same rate as many other boarding facilities. Also, they started booking up so I couldn't board my cat at all. I had to go elsewhere, closer to me, for the same rate.
Champion Kennels is a great training facility. Our instructor Kris listened to what we needed from our dog, got to know the dog, and then as easy as pie she got him to do just what she asked. Amazing gentle techniques, all very painless and pleasant for each one of us. Perfection!
We took our dog for a private lesson with Kris. The dog was aggressive toward young girls and I have a number of nieces and small children in the house. I brought the dog and one of the little girls and Kris taught us exactly what to do to modify the dogs behavior and help the young girls get comfortable with the dog. They are now best friends thanks to the suggestions and exercises that Kris gave us.
one trainer here kicked puppies and recommend we yank a nipping puppy's leash to correct it. the trainer who came after her whipped a dog with separation anxiety and told us to be the alpha over our dogs. I left classes extremely confused at times.
Percy had his 1st appointment with Gemini Dogs today for grooming. We had been taking Percy to a different groomer for sometime but kept noticing he would come home very nervous/uneasy. We decided maybe it was just time for a change and after lots of searching we decided to take Percy to Gemini Dogs! We spoke with Briana before the appointment and I really appreciated that and what to expect the day of his appointment. I also like how professional the staff were at both check-in and when I picked Percy up. Briana spoke with us at drop off and asked us how we liked his coat cut and off Percy went. When we picked Percy up today he was his very happy self, he was happy to see us and when we got in the car he was just relaxed and happy, no shakes, no whimpering and he looks so handsome! We will be back for his next grooming appointment and I cannot thank the staff enough for keeping him calm and happy today.
Had an amazing experience at this dog grooming place! The staff was super friendly and my pup looks adorable. Highly recommend to schedule with Gabriel, he’s great!!
This is the only place I've taken my pooch where she is actually excited to be dropped for the day (or for longer). The people working at Gemini are caring and attentive, and I don't worry about my dog because I know she is in good hands. The prices are reasonable, and the opening hours, from 0600-2200 make drop off and pick up easy. The teeth cleaning service was also reasonably priced. Our pooch loves it at Gemini.
This is dog Central! Knowledgeable trainers, excellent daycare, grooming and boarding, with a terrific staff. We've brought all our pups here over the years.
We were coming in from out of state and started working on the plans 3-4 months in advance. We had all the paperwork complete and a scheduled evaluation/tour for our first day in town, but when we arrived in town, they did not have our appt in their schedule. But after several phone calls and reviewing emails, they fit us in the next morning, and our dog was abe to attend daycare for the next 4 days. She loved it and was bathed and groomed during our stay. The hours are great, and they make sure the dogs all get plenty of exercise and play time.
We were camping nearby, I needed to find a boarding that would take two dogs. Gemini pet boarding was very responsive to my call. I talked to the owner directly and she accepted our dogs. My youngest dog was frightened when she went in and so they took her out front and let her hang out with them in the office to get her to calm down. The next day when we took them in they were very excited to see them and went right away in without hesitation. They sent me a couple of pictures throughout the day to show me that she was doing OK and sitting in peoples laps. They were spoiled at Gemini boarding.
I am a severely disabled Vietnam combat veteran, and was recently discharged from the rehabilitation unit of the Veterans Medical Center in Bedford, MA. Since I live alone, the director of the rehab unit contacted 22 Mowhawks about service dog program for disabled veterans. One week after my hospital discharge, they delivered Willow into my arms, and I immediately fell in love with her. The facility and staff of Gemini Dogs is outstanding and I am thrilled to be able to work with them going forward. The facility and staff are amazing. Michelle, one of the trainers came to my home yesterday to help me with the development of my 6 month old Lab, she is to become my partner in life, and was donated by 22 Mowhawks. Although I have been training Willow since she was 6 weeks old; and she is smart and hard working, she has at least 6 months of additional training before she becomes a fully certified service dog.
We were looking for some place to board our dog for the day while we went into Boston. Gemini has great hours, currently 6A-10P so we didn’t have to worry about being rushed. We have a little dog who is used to having her big brother around (we left him home with the house sitter), so she had some company for the day. I highly recommend you contact them a day or two before you want to board.
We've been using Gemini since about March for both daycare and boarding. Easy reservation process and great care from the staff. They handle special needs dogs wonderfully; my guy has food allergies and some anxiety issues and they handle it with ease. I swear my dog is more excited to go than he is to leave most days. Very grateful we found this place.
We are from Pennsylvania, came up to Ayer for my niece's wedding. I wanted to find a place where our new puppy could spend the day while we enjoyed the wedding, and not have to worry about the pup. This IS the place! So glad I found Gemini Dogs. Great place and people. Our pup had fun. Very pleased.
What a great facility! I brought my dog to Country Dogs daycare for years when she was in Bolton and then Clinton. Karen the owner is wonderful and would even board Wilson at her own home when we went on extended trips. Wilson loved it there so much he would bound into the facility almost ripping my arm out of the socket. He is 13 now and a little too old for the daycare however I would always recommend Country Dogs.
On Sunday we picked up a rescue German Shepherd and she didn't have a good owner and she was so matted and so smelly so I called Country Dog grooming on Tuesday and they gave me a 3pm appointment We took Pipper in and when we picked Pipper up she looked amazing and yes smelled so much better Country Dog grooming did an amazing job I highly recommend them Thank you for taking such good care ❤ of Pipper
It's impossible to get your dog enrolled. They don't answer the phone or respond to emails. So annoying!
Wipe open area when I stepped in so my dog wasn't crowded. There's tons of treats and accessories for sale. The groomer was very kind and told me how much my dog enjoyed the wash!
My dog has come back with multiple bite marks and scratches. When I went to ask the person who greets me most mornings he said it was up to my dog to correct the other dogs. They seem to think because they babysit dogs that they’re vets and know an extended amount about dogs. Imagine explaining to a vet tech that a puncture wound is a wart? Then I picked him up today with a huge welt on his shoulder. They’ll just explain things away and not do their job. If you care for your dog like I do mine then I wouldn’t send your pup here. Not a safe or trustworthy environment. Just my terrible experience 😊
This is a warmly welcoming facility. Previously evaluated dogs are well supervised by personnel who enjoy dogs of all breeds, sizes and safe dispositions. My dog loves to go there, to be greeted enthusiastically by staff and then to play for hours. Rest periods, fresh water and toilet breaks are all part of the experience. Wonderful!
Absolutely love country dogs daycare! Lucy is so excited every time she goes in, and she never wants to leave! The employees are so sweet and professional. You can tell they genuinely love animals. Honestly worth every dollar.
After 4 years of bringing our dog to Country Dog’s, the owner texted us saying that he is no longer welcome. That morning when I dropped our dog off, he got excited in the drop off shop area and broke a glass counter top from something he had accidently knocked over. Little did we ever think we would get a “text”, not even a call saying that he is too much and they do not want him going any longer. This was something that he enjoyed, and looked forward to once a week as he got to play with dogs his size and do what dogs do, ‘Play’. There were a few occasions that we were told they had to seperate him from a couple of other dogs because they were getting crazy but never did we feel like it was the other dogs. The owner always made us feel like it was ours but yet never told us or even warned us that he would not be welcomed back. If you want your dog crated for a while throughout the day, this is the place for you! I could crate my dog at my own house if I wanted and not spend the $35. Not why I brought him! Now that this has happened, I don’t feel comfortable ever sending my dog somewhere where my wife and I feel like our dog isn’t being treated properly. When you think your dog is playing all day and you find out he spends time in the crate, not the best feeling.
Our puppy just had her first haircut here and they did a great job! The owner was friendly and called us when she was ready for pickup.
Karen and the staff are truly amazing dog lovers! They’re the most compassionate care givers to these dogs. Not to mention you can’t help but fall in love with the boutique the minute you walk in! Clean, cute, and professional as you can get! You can not dispute the facts Country Dogs is the place to bring your furry family members ! 💕🐾
