So grateful for Cung's attention to Peppa and keeping my apartment tidy while I was away!
Loved staying at Michelle’s! Great area! Great cats! Felt very at home and comfortable she even shared her laundry card with me :-)
I had a fantastic sit with Stella at Jackie and Yvo’s home in Amsterdam! 1000% would do it again!! Jackie and Yvo were upfront and transparent regarding Stella’s ongoing training, however it is obvious they have been working with her for some time. Stella is a well behaved dog who loves going for long walks and playing fetch in their yard. She did test jumping on the couch and bed when I first got there but followed instructions for “off” and I didn’t have any other issues. Like most Beagles, she is very food motivated and follows her nose, but those led to some interesting walking routes when I just let her nose lead the way for an hour or two. You just have to watch the ground for plastic and garbage, like any other city, and instruct Stella to “drop it” when she does pick some up. I took Stella to Vondelpark every couple of days and Beatrix park almost daily. I even took Stella with me to walk to De Gooyer Molen Windmill. She walks well on a leash with the occasional pulling when she sees other dogs. I mostly allowed extra time when walking with Stella so she could sniff things along the way. Stella would immediately fall asleep once we got back from our walks and I would usually go sightseeing or run errands during this time. I found myself missing her when she went to doggy day care once a week. She was probably glad to have a break from hearing me say “Stella” from A Streetcar Named Desire multiple times a day. One of the best parts of this sit was watching her walker drop her off in the evening using a cargo bike. It is literally a buggy full of puppies. Another favorite time of mine was right after Stella wakes up. I loved watching her poke her nose out from under her bed and slowly emerge. She would come out of her crate and flop onto her back for “Stelly Belly” time and a morning scratching. It was such an awesome way to start the day. Jackie and Yvo live in a beautiful home in a nice neighborhood. I often got stopped by neighbors when walking Stella who chatted with me about Stella or just day to day things. There are plenty of parks, cafes, and restaurants within walking distance and Jackie has a list of great recommendations for the neighborhood. The home is also well connected to transportation to get around the city or take short day trips when Stella is in day care. Communication with Jackie and Yvo was great! Their instruction guide was thorough and filled with everything you need to know about Stella and their home. I had no idea appliances had gotten so high tech that I would be lost without the guide. Jackie and Yvo met me the day before the sit to go over the appliances and give me a tour of their home. Both of them were quick and responsive to any questions I text them during my stay. I feel lucky to have been chosen for this sit and would definitely sit with Stella again!
Bugsy was a wonderful roommate and I'm looking forward to future sits with him. He is sweet, cuddly, and very easy to care for. He is very playful but also enjoying chilling out on the couch when I watched tv or worked on my laptop. Francie's home was a wonderful, peaceful space with lots of amenities as well, and she made me feel very welcome and at home.
Kenneth and Diane were very welcoming and friendly! Daisy and Piper were so sweet and well behaved. I miss them already! Great location to the beach and very comfortable house. I would definitely come back again and hope to! :)
George (human) and Diego ( fluffy white Persian feline) were perfect hosts. George’s apartment is a comfortable nest in the midst of urban Lakeview East Chicago.. five minutes walking from the Belmont station and lots of great restaurants, bars and walking fun. Don’t miss Ann Sather restaurant for the greatest breakfast ever…and Belmont Harbor just up the street. Diego was great company with a dynamite personality and a good buddy. Thank you guys! If you need me to hang out with Diego again, count me in!
It was a pleasure to sit for Jeanette & Archie's 5 cats including their extremely cute and playful kitten, Tiggy, and Jeanette was very welcoming and she gave me a good handover when i came to collect the keys in advance of my arrival date as well as leaving helpful written instructions. And each of the kitties have distinct characters, and i enjoyed spending time with them all in Jeanette and Archie's cosy and characterful home which also has a lovely garden. And in terms of location it's about a 10 minute walk or so from Harold Wood over ground station which has frequent direct trains to London, Stratford and Liverpool Street stations and there's a small Co-op supermarket opposite the station along with a few cafes and other shops which came in handy also. All in all i would recommend this sit which i think is best suited to people who enjoy cat sitting in a peaceful but well connected location such as perhaps sitters who work remotely or who can spend a fair amount of time at home during the sit, due to Tiggy (at the time of my sit) being too young to go outside so she needed some extra supervision/companionship, and she's very active, fearless and fun to be around. Thanks Jeanette and Archie for inviting me to sit for your lovely kitties.

Acton Critter Sitters has provided excellent care for my dog and cat. The staff is reliable, personable, and they have superb written communication skills. I recommend them wholeheartedly!
First let me say we are always impressed with how professional and courteous the staff are. Acton Critter Sitters has been taken care of our cats for 1 1/2 to 2 years now and we are always at ease when we leave our cats with them. One of our cats was sick and they took great care of him making sure he took his medication. They are great about giving us a message when they visit and telling us how things are going. I recommend them to everyone i know!
Extremely happy with their service for the past year! They have always been punctual and responsive (text and portal). The online portal is very easy to use. My pup requires insulin shots and other meds and a special food prep, and is a little antisocial, but the team handled it perfectly. They always followed the instructions down to re-filling the water bowl and using her harness, and Lisa even made a few friends during boarding. Much appreciation for Clare, Jen, and the rest of the team.
I've been with Acton Critter Sitters for over 5 years now, they are terrific and I highly recommend them. Entire staff is exceptional -- caring, reliable and skilled -- especially Carrie H. My dog is so well cared for!
Always available and very responsive. My cat can get a bit neurotic when I'm away, but he is always well taken care of when I call Sally. My sitter feeds him, cleans up everything (even puke!), scoops the litter box, spends a little time playing, and leaves a report card that always makes me feel better when I return. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for reliable help.
My dogs are always so happy to see everyone from Acton Critter sitter! They wait in anticipation by the window. It's so nice to know that they are so well cared for and loved when we are not around! I highly recommend them!
Great service! Fast response time and easy booking of services online which makes my life much easier. Pricing and care is unbelievable, the sitters go above and beyond the services rendered. I highly recommend their services and the company. They really care about the animals and their well being.
The nicest, the best. Wonderful communication and details and options. Online portal is fantastic as well as the sitters. We have been using them for years.
My pet rabbit died slowly and without medical treatment of any kind under their care. They failed to even realize the animal was ill despite the fact that she was unable to walk.
Wonderful dog walking service. Great people, very responsive and kind.
They were fantastic in accommodating us on short notice, and our dog had a wonderful time. Every staff member I met was super friendly and I could tell had such a passion for dogs. My dog had a wonderful time and was excited to spend his time there. I loved the photo updates each day which certainly showed my dog's enthusiasm!
Recently left my elderly dog and my 5 year old doodle. The doodle is highly allergic and takes daily meds to keep him from breaking out in hives. He’d also recently had a mystery injury on his foot that he was taking medication for. I was quite nervous dropping them off without ever having used PinkDog before. I had no need to be. When I picked them up after 5 days they were happy and healthy. The employee immediately knew my dogs and informed me that the foot was healing nicely. It was obvious they had handled the medication well and taken wonderful care of my boys. I really appreciate them! Will definitely use them again with confidence.
I picked up our pups after their grooming appointments and they were the cleanest, softest, fluffiest, and best smelling they have ever been! We’ve found our new groomer!!
Very warm and friendly environment and our dog Bones had a very happy stay his 2nd time around, they did a great job integrating him with dogs of his liking and energy level. Very clean too! Nice spot, see y'all over the summer!
Last week I left my 2 dog there for 5 days , while I went on a trip to Florida. When I went to pick my dogs up 5 days later they were so happy there and they told us they had a lot fun there and ate while we were gone which is good because my dogs get stressed easily . We got to bring their bed ,dry food, cans ,and treats and they write down everything you tell them to note down which is great. My dog really enjoyed it there and had an excellent experience. That is why I think this an excellent place and is a great place they also got to take a bath on the last day that they were there and they smelled amazing!
Great place to board your dog! We've always had good experiences with Pink Dog Grooming since the staff is so great. So, we decided to give their new boarding a try. While she doesn't love being left behind, our dog did very well and we know the staff is attentive and caring.
The staff is friendly but unorganized and they barely speak English. They have very little knowledge about dog breeds and temperaments beyond being small dog owners themselves. The dogs also only go out for 20 minutes a day maximum unless you pay $20 extra each day for daycare! Very inexperienced and unorganized, unlike the previous owner of the kennel.
We left our dogs for 2 weeks here, and they sent us pictures and took good care of them
Excellent experience! Easy to schedule, friendly staff and my pup looks fabulous!
We bring our Pug here and they take great care of him. He likes it there.
We love Alison and the crew at Country Canine! Our 2-year old Cattle Dog mix has been going there regularly for over a year and has the best time! The team is devoted, attentive, educated on dog behavior, and will love the heck out of your dog. Our dog would leave us for James tomorrow. We've also worked 1-on-1 with Alison and her training sessions have been transformational. We were first-time owners and feeling a bit lost. Alison's guidance made us more confident and connected with our dog. We highly recommend Alison and Country Canine!
My dog attended doggy daycare twice a week for 4 years. She loved country canine’s and we loved working with the staff. Fantastic experience, competitively priced and they even offer grooming in the summer.
I would have liked to give more stars but I absolutely can’t! And honestly, I’d give zero if I could. As a matter of fact, I have concerns for the other animals at this facility that attend daycare. Until recently, my dogs attended the daycare regularly before abruptly being dismissed with no prior information about his supposed “aggressive” instances. On two different occasions I received no phone call or update on either instances until 5 days after the original occurrence. Imagine my surprise as after each pick up or during drop offs I was told nothing more than “he loves it here or he’s great” to find out that he had been ‘aggressive’ towards another dog and he was no longer welcome back. Additionally, I was informed that he was tackled, sprayed with some sort of solution to calm him and kept in a crate for who knows how long. The head person, Allison, had minimal details about the events and when questioned her response was she can’t speak to that because she wasn’t the one present at the time. I don’t agree with how any part of this situation was handled, especially using brute force with a dog and using a crate as punishment when a dogs crate is a den and should be a safe haven. Had I known these types of things were taking place I would have never allowed my dog to partake in this inhumane facility. This company should be ashamed of themselves and may want to rethink the number of dogs they allow at the facility so that they get the correct attention they deserve or at the very least have someone who can make a phone call in a timely manner. I leave you with this, buyer beware!
We love country canine! Both of our dogs have been going here for the past two years and love it! They both go in happily and leave tired and relaxed after!
My dog Myla has been going here for about two months now. Can’t say enough good things! She comes home absolutely exhausted and I always get a report from the owner or staff about how her day went. As an overprotective dog mom who used to manage a different dog daycare facility, it is hard for me to fully trust staff and leave my baby somewhere, but with Alison and her staff, I know she is SO well taken care of and that they PAY ATTENTION! Alison is so knowledgeable and attentive and actually cares about the dog/staff ratio, so I know the environment is safe and controllable. I love that the are outside most of the time just able to be dogs! Myla is excited to make more friends here!! :)
Our dog Gunner has been at Country Canine for only 2 months, but I can't say enough great things! He has some anxiety issues, and the staff has always been quick to respond to any phone calls or emails I have sent. The facility itself is very simple, but I personally like that because dogs just don't want to have fun, they don't need a state of the art facility. The staff are obviously all huge dog lovers and really care about the work that they do! I knew we had made the right choice when three different individuals told us that they had been bringing their dogs for 10, 13, and 15 years respectively!
Alison is the best! We have a 5 month old lagotto, and was overwhelmed with his energy! Once we started training with Alison, we could channel all that energy to many constructive training sessions! Once started training with Alison, we were amazed how his behaviour has taken a 180 degree change in direction. We can now work sitting on the couch with him just being calm. His recall is so much better and nipping has come down drastically. Alison is supportive and very kind to our needs. Her suggestions had tremendously helped us modify puppy behavior. Our lagotti has been a happy puppy! Alison is the best out there and you CANNOT go wrong with her!
Annie Mae is my very young high energy "hound mix" rescue from Tennessee. I've never had her DNA tested, but I'm confident she's got a bit of Staffordshire Terrier in her genes ( or she's doing a good job at faking it ). I've got her on a regular 2-day per week schedule with Country Canine for nearly a year now and I couldn't be happier with the results. When I drop her off, she's jump-out-of-her-skin excited about it. And when I pick her up, she's all set for a solid nap. I'm also impressed with how they manage required vaccines, etc. for all dogs. So grateful/happy!
Country Canine takes excellent care of my insanely hyper dog, and have been doing so for over 5 years now. The price is very affordable (it's long gone up $4 in 5 years, at or below inflation) despite the fact that there are sometimes waitlists on certain days. It's a place where you will need to create a regular schedule and can't drop in last minute - they'll likely be at capacity. The people who work there are great & it's very clear that they care about all of the dogs. And my dog loves it. She gets excited when I tell her we're going, and despite being a 6 year old hyperactive spaniel, she always comes home and is content to just chill out or fall asleep at the end of the day.
I have been nothing but happy with CC dog care! The staff is wonderful, caring and knowledgeable, and my dog loves going there! He was an abused dog when I got him, but with the help of this team of professionals, he has learned to trust people and dogs. I highly recommend Country Canine!
We’ve used Palmer Kennel for many years, across multiple dogs. They are the best! We go out of our way to use them. The greatest endorsement is having our dog eagerly jump put of the car and run in happily without a backward glance. He loves “going to camp” at Palmer. The owners and staff are great, and really care about what they do.
I’ve been using Palmer Kennels for a few years now and this is the first place I’ve ever trusted to leave my dog! The owner and staff are amazing and kind. My dog is very excited to run back in every time I bring him. If you need a place you can trust your pup with - this is it!
My family has been coming here for decades. Our current dog enjoys her stays!
We left our dog here for a week. When we picked her up she had lost several pounds, and her bones were clearly showing through her skin. She smelled like old pee and her fur was very greasy despite the fact that we bathed her the day before dropping her off. I definitely won't be bringing her back. The only positive thing I can say (and the reason I'm not giving them 1 star) is that the facility was pretty clean, but the only part that they let customers see is the lobby, so take that with a grain of salt.
I boarded my beloved puppy - 8 months old and he was extremely well cared for, he was boarded in a nice warm kennel, able to come and go to go the bathroom. The place is clean, does not smell and it is warm. Since he was a puppy and not real familiar with other dogs, the owners allowed him to play with their dogs - so that it would be a safe situation. They are all very professional and very caring at Palmer Kennels. The owner comes through in the middle of the night to check on all the dogs. I am bringing my dog back again for another stay and I called to check to see if I should bring bones for him, they said no- that the dogs were given twice/day cookie treats. They are so caring and loving to all the dogs. You could not ask for a better place. After reading on the local papers of missing dogs that were boarded at private homes I am happy to know my dog is safe at Palmer Kennels.
This is the best place to board your dog. The staff is very friendly and they genuinely love pets. The property is well maintained and beautifully organized. The runners are of good size. The owner’s labs are adorable. It’s a short and pleasant drive from Cambridge. I strongly recommend this place. This is the third time I board my dog Penny here!
We have been boarding our 12 year old Brittany Spaniel at Palmer for over 10 years. The owners and staff has always been very attentive and professional. Bottom line they are dog people. They go out of their way to make my dogs visit as stress free as possible. Having checked out other kennels in the area, Palmer was by far the best option in my opinion.
Have used Palmer Kennels a few times now, with multiple dogs and I can easily say that they love it here as much as I do. My dogs have all been homebodies, but they recognize the building and the associates and I can't open the door fast enough for them once we arrive. They have all willingly walked in without so much as a whimper. Not sure if I should be the one whimpering. Regardless, everything about this kennel is great. Competitive pricing, and you get a lot for your money.
Palmer Kennels has always provided excellent boarding services for my dog. The staff is knowledgeable, accomodating, and friendly. I'm always greeted with a smile on arrival and Lucy is sad to leave when I return. Highly recommended A+++ service
My dogs are always happy to be dropped off here, and healthy when I pick them up. The staff usually seem bored and business-like. I would feel happier leaving a loved-one with someone who shows some interest and affection. But they seem to do a decent job.
