Helen was great! Would love to have her back.
I had such a relaxing stay with Blu, he is so well behaved and chill. Our walks through the park and woods were enjoyable as he knew exactly which route he wanted to take each day! Jeanna was a great host, their home was so comfortable and welcoming, I truly enjoyed myself.
Cathy and tango were both wonderful. Cathy was very sweet, communicative and flexible. Tango is a great cat that loves a good play but is also happy to relax. The property is also beautiful, comfortable and quiet. Great sit, would be more than happy to sit for tango again!
We had an amazing time taking care of Marlin and Saylor. They’re as sweet as they come! You will win marlin over with one of his favorite snacks, ice cubes. And Saylor will melt in your hand for some back scratches🥰 Jennifer was super kind and very hospitable. Her directions were detailed and made taking care of her fur babies a breeze. Her home is clean and spacious. We were lucky to be there for the addition of a fence to the backyard in Jennifer’s home. Marlin and Saylor loved going out there to play and sun bathe. We overall really enjoyed our sit and would love to take care of your furry loves anytime Jennifer. Please feel free to reach out to us anytime!!😃🫶
This was an incredibly enjoyable house sitting experience. Karma is incredible, smart, and kind. Literally no issues at all! He owners were so easy and friendly to work with. The house and everything they provided was so helpful. The house and location were beautiful and allowed for easy exploration of nearby areas. There is even 12 miles of hiking trails right off of their street. We loved every bit of this experience!
I had a lovely stay in Vanessa’s home and really enjoyed caring for Cosette during my time in New York. She’s the perfect pup, easygoing, so well loved and a joy to mind. She’s equally as happy cuddling on the couch as she was out and about exploring the neighbourhood, and is very easy to care for. The apartment is ideally located, and beautifully decorated, with a great view of the city. It’s the perfect pièd-a-terre for exploring all New York has to offer. I have only wonderful things to say about my stay here, I’d gladly hop on a plane for the opportunity to visit again! I highly recommend a stay in Vanessa’s home to anyone looking to explore the city with Cosette at their feet.
We had a great stay in Emanuelle’s place in Melbourne Southbank. Her place is beautifully decorated with everything you need for a great stay - including a rooftop pool and spa! It’s so central getting around is easy by foot or by tram. Her babies are super easy to care for. Amira is playful and cuddly whereas Sabrina prefers her own space. Emanuelle was easy to communicate with and her info sheet was clear. We had such a lovely time, would sit again and recommend to others 😊

Andrew is THE best. Takes such good care of our dogs with lots of love and attention and treats them as if they were his. We can call anytime and he will always help when we need him. He goes ABOVE and beyond just dog walking. He truly cares and you can tell he loves what he does. Recommend you switch to Dog gone local -best out there. Thank you andrew!
Andrew is the king of dogs. No ands, if, or buts about it. No questions asked. Andrew is a certified dawg himself. Andrew is the sole reason why I can stand living in Danvers, he'll always come to us. I'm forever grateful he can handle my Chihuahua. Not many people can. The dog is a piece of work and pretty annoying most of the time but Andrew has 0 problems, nor does he give us a hard time about the dawg. Andrew needs more respect to his name. #ThatDawgAndrew
DogGoneLocal has the best dog walking and In-Home Boarding in the area. He always goes above and beyond everything he does for the dogs! He’ll always show up on time to scheduled appointments! The best part is how they have live gps maps with Live Photo updates of the dogs! I highly recommend their services to anyone who needs a reliable dog walker!
DogGoneLocal arrived on time and was thoughtful to ask questions about my dogs particular needs. The walker hit nearly three miles during the walk. My dog was exhausted and calm after his adventure. Would recommend!
Always the best dog Walker. Fun, friendly, reasonably priced. It's always a pleasure to deal with Andrew. Hes Oliver tested and Oliver approved! 🐶🐶🐶 …
Truly cares about his trade! Andrew will put your pet first and treat him or her like his own. Incomparable service!
Nothing but good things to say! The people there are so friendly , they made me feel so comfortable when signing up my little guy. They gave me a tour around to show me where he’d play and answered any/all questions I had. He’s my baby lol so it makes me so happy that he loves going to daycare 💙 …
Shouldn’t even get a star but I had no choice. I brought my dog in one time and he normally goes to daycare and has so much fun. They brought him in to a dark room all by himself and left him there. my dog is a rescue and very scared being alone. They would not allow him back because they said he barked. Of course he barked ihe was in a dark room all alone. Terrible unfriendly staff. I have since found another daycare that he has loved and the staff is so friendly and good with him to make him feel safe when he’s not at home. Beware of this place.
You know when you say "walk" and your dog gets all excited? I say "do you want to go to daycare?" and my dog gives this anticipation, ears perked, eyes super-wide look, then starts bouncing around the place looking for his leash. He loves daycare here, has his buddies he's made to play with, and is happy when he arrives and fully happy from his day when he leaves. I like the outdoor area they have and the kid pools the dogs can use. Awesome place and very friendly, up-beat staff.
This place is amazing! We have been bringing our dog here for over a year. Everyone there knows her name and personality. They even commented to me when picking her up when she stepped into the pool over the summer (she is NOT a water dog). Just shows how much they love the dogs that come and care about each and every one of them individually. Our baby always comes home happy and tired :) love, Ridleys mom
I was nervous putting my puppies in daycare , but I am extremely happy that they are at McGrupp’s! I love knowing my babies are taken care of and given lots of love when they are at daycare. They get so excited when I pull into the parking lot. The staff has been very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly! And I love that they come home exhausted from playing all day!
McGrupp’s is the best! Our dog really enjoys going in for daycare and ALWAYS comes out happy and exhausted. They care about what they do. There are package discount deals (20 pack I think) for half or full day. Heard about them a few years ago from other happy dog owner customer when we got our puppy. We’ve been going for over two years and love it. 👍🏼👍🏼
Unfortunately, while my 6-month puppy was in the care of McGrupp's he was attacked by another dog and suffered a deep wound. Before I move on with this review, I would like to state that I fully understand that this type of situation can happen in any doggy day care setting (dogs will be dogs) and the attack itself does not impact this review. However, the way the staff at McGrupp's handled this incident was concerning and, in my opinion, unacceptable. After the attack, my dog was separated and placed in a room all by himself. I can only imagine how scared and alone he must have felt. Also, the staff at McGrupp's did not contact me to inform me of the incident or his injury. Instead, I was informed at the end of the day when I went to pick him up. I am sure any dog parent would agree that I should have been contacted immediately. Upon first sight I knew something was wrong because he looked frightened, and the staff neglected to put on his safety harness. McGrupp's brings all dogs outside in the parking lot (right off a main road) upon pick up. Because they did not put his safety harness on my puppy wiggled out of his collar and ran loose around the parking lot as he was anxious from the events of the day. Luckily, a fellow dog owner was able to catch him before he ran into the road. Once I got a hold of him again and secured him myself in his harness I was informed of the attack by the manager and presented with the "occurrence report" documenting the incident in detail. I inspected my puppy and saw a very large gash that in my opinion (as a medical professional) required stitches. I expressed my concern and asked the McGrupp's staff why I was not notified earlier? I was told that they did not think it was a "big deal" and that they did not want to contact me as they thought I would worry. Instead, they thought it would be best to tell me at 5:30pm on Friday upon pick up (his veterinarian's office closes at 5:00pm and does not reopen until 9:00 on Monday) leaving me with very few options for his medical care (we were forced to take him to an expensive 24-hour emergency clinic to receive his stiches). I should have been contacted right away so I could evaluate the situation and attend to his wounds properly to ensure he received the best outcome. To me the way McGrupp's handled this incident to me is not only unacceptable, but also unethical. This incident could have happened anywhere, but it should have been handled better. I should have been notified immediately and they should have done more to attend to my puppy until I arrived. I trusted McGrupp's with the care of my beloved dog and they betrayed/broke that trust. I can confirm they have lost my business.
Top notch doggie daycare! Merlin has so much fun visiting his friends. Drop off and pickup are flawless. Every staff member knows my little pup and I, which just shows the amount of care they have for all the dogs that go there. I work from home but know how beneficial it is for Merlin to have interactions with other dogs and people. Highly recommend even for those in my situation, he is so well rounded. I haven't used the grooming services yet but look forward to trying it out!
I would recommend dog owners against such a place. The pandemic was already a tough time to leave your dog at a daycare because you are not allowed inside to see the quality yourself, so you have to relied on reviews and their promise for good service. So I have no idea for myself who works there, if it’s clean and what the environment is like for my dog. But when I picked my dog up, she always smelled terrible. She came home with eye infections, kennel cough constantly and always came home with scratches. At my dog park there are multiple owners who have shared the same concern with this place. Additionally, we called the owner to be briefed on the security of pick up. We were told they would be sure to get to know us well as owners. When in reality, no one knew who we were because everyday was a different employee and always asking us what dog we were picking up, and seemed like they had no clue we we’re the real owners.
Our 5 year old Great Pyr mix has been going sporadically for daycare for a few months and loves it. Boarding has gone well too. What I like most is the staff know her (and I) and are excited to see her. We didn't have that at two other facilities she has been to. Any time you can be away from your dog and feel she is safe and taken care of it's a good thing.
I was very much a client. With proof. I care about my dog, not Google anything. My healthy dog left your facility with major critical medical issues. IMO your staff is careless at best.
I've been taking my dog to The K9Edge for doggie daycare every time I go on a trip, and it's been a fantastic experience. My dog absolutely loves being there, which gives me great peace of mind. Kathy and her team are amazing – they provide exceptional care and attention, ensuring my dog is happy and well looked after while I'm away. Highly recommend The K9Edge for anyone seeking top-notch daycare for their furry friend!
The finest care and daycare facility in the Commonwealth. Super professional staff and all caring dog lovers. They are fully invested in your dog’s well being
We always recommend them to all our fellow dog parents; I really can’t say enough about how wonderful Kathy and the rest of the staff are. After having several bad experiences at other kennels, this is amazing. Our pup is nervous of new people and places, but after his first stay we knew he loved it and didn’t want to leave. We’ve unfortunately had some last minute family emergencies and they have been nothing but accommodating. Having K9 Edge has been such a relief to us because we don’t have to worry at all when we travel without our fuzzball. They let us call as often as we needed to check on him and get updates. Very reasonable pricing especially for 24/7 care and services offered. Ample parking. Other services offered aside from boarding. Check out the vaccines and other required paperwork on their website. Just give them a call for any questions, they are patient and understanding.
Kathy is amazing to our German Shepard! I trust her and her staff to keep our dog safe and healthy during doggie day care and overnights! So happy we found K9 Edge! Nala loves you!
We brought our dog here for its first visit. The staff here are very friendly, training oriented, and certainly regimented. We found K9 edge after being recommended by a friend and it’s no secret way. The trainers here love dogs and know what they are doing. Know that your dog would be cared for here. I would recommend it to anyone.
I have been taking my dog Drago for roughly 4 months. I utilized the daycare training program initially and could not have been more pleased. I saw immediate results even after day 1. I continue to bring him for daycare based on how much he enjoys going there. I think he is happier to see Cathy than he is to see me on most days. If you are considering a place to either train or board your dog, I would 100% recommend The K9 Edge.
Kathy, Steph and the rest of the team at K9 Edge saved my life! I would be lost without the genuine care and guidance they offer. Was in over my head as a first time dog owner and not once did they make me feel stupid. Every single person there is helpful and caring and treats every dog as their own. They are so reliable and really truly there for you. This is the real deal. Bring your dog here.
Awesome place, my dog loves it there! Wouldn't let him go anywhere else. Nor would I trust him with anyone else. They are my dogs family as far as we are concerned! As a matter of fact, we call them auntie Kathy and auntie Stephanie!! Pure love for this place ❤
Started basic training with my dog here. First class and got so much out of the first day. Very helpful, and patient with all of the newer people striving to have a better dog. My dog and most importantly myself walked out today with a lot of knowledge on a road to a happier safer relationship.
Best of the best! My dog loves going there! I drive all the way from Malden to Peabody for my dog to be with his besties! Melissa & her employees are truly amazing & it shows at every drop off/pick up, Bailey is excited to see them & they are excited to see Bailey!
As a Animal Control Officer who appreciates people who help animals, I wish I could give the Dogmother a 100 star rating! This daycare has the biggest outdoor space that’s split into different yards along with a trainer dedicated to each group of dogs. All dogs are placed with small groups which I prefer, and always have a attendant at all times. Everything is on video 24/7 and the staff is very well trained to handle dogs and groups of dogs. This business is very highly recommended by residents, Rescue organizations like Sweet Paws Rescue and many local ACOs , Police, Fire, and local city officials.
Melissa and her staff are wonderful!! We've rescued/adopted with Melissa and the experience is great from beginning to end! She's so nice! She is easy to talk to, professional, very knowledgeable and really loves her work!! They are all truly there for the dogs! We live out of state a couple hours away, and don't use her boarding services; but we definitely recomend rescuing through her from the rescue resources she works with!!
If you're smart & care about your dogs, you will never bring them to this place. Please be advised the owner does not follow all safety protocols and is operating an illegal business outside their home. Your dogs are not safe here. Located on a busy highway and owner locks your dog in her dirty basement all day. The little time they do get outside, the ability to run off onto busy Route 1 is all too accessible and a constant dangerous threat. Very shady business and the people running it. Not worth it to leave your dogs in their hands. I will never make this mistake again. I wish somebody warned me about this place before.
Life saver when my dog got off her leash. Love what you do for those fur babies. Was 35$ to grab her so I could tip. Thank you ❤️
Melissa and her team is professional, caring and have a true love for dogs. My girls have been with The Dogmother for over a year and I would not send them anywhere else. I can go to work knowing they will be taken care of and a safe. The best daycare around!
After we got our dog, we knew she would need somewhere to go whenever we went away as our parents were getting older and wouldn't be able to handle her themselves. We started to look around for dog boarding and found The Dogmother. We fell in love with Melissa and her staff, love that it is at her home and not corporate and our dog is so well cared for. Now Lola squeals on her way to daycare because she loves it so much, and can't wait for us to go away so she can have sleepovers.
I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Melissa and her team are AMAZING! I could not feel more at ease leaving my dog in The Dog Mother’s care. Everyone on the team is so knowledgeable and personable to the pups and their owners. I wouldn’t send my dog anywhere else!
Melissa is the very best. She has a big beautiful yard for the dogs to play in. She is very sweet and kind. Melissa also helps with rescues as well. The world would be better with more people like her.
We work with Melissa here at our animal clinics. She's dependable, kind, patient, hard working, intelligant + knowledgeable and she cares Deeply for each and every dog that crosses her path. The entire staff here consider her a treasured friend. We reach out to her for help when needed - and though she's very busy she Always makes time. We consider her a valued member of our team. Thank you for ALL you do for the dogs and people lucky enough to know you!
They are an amazing. Thank you so much guys
I took my 2 sister kittens a few weekends ago and it was a wonderful experience. Brianna greeted us with a huge smile and was so incredibly sweet to my kittens. I have to say that Brianna was probably one the nicest people I have ever met and I trust her completely with my fur babies. The next time I have to board my pets I will back to see Brianna as she is just an angel. 😍
This all truth and fact ! I inquired my first time to board my fur baby in August of 2023' I was concerned for Staff and my dog because he is over protected of me. I have been going to Muddy Creek for years they are the best ! However I wanted to try a place a little closer to my home and have back up just in case. No one ever called me about my concerns today 11/1/2033 they called me to confirm my reservation for Possibly 2/2024' still never taking a moment to address my concern. Now today they respond they are too Busy to reply to Everyone Never have I ever heard that. Why would I bring my beloved Fur baby when I know nothing about them I still cannot wrap my head around their response. I was fooled by their Pretty exterior online. I care about my fur baby as much as my own children. !
We boarded our 2 Portuguese Water dogs while we spent 2 days in the Salem area. We had several conversations with the owner before coming and read other reviews. We felt this was the place for our dogs. The staff greeted us, took additional information and met our dogs. We picked them up two days later, they were happy boys and we got a good report on their experience with the other dogs.
I have been boarding my toy poodles here for about 8 years and recently have become happier than ever. Yes, there were a few months under a previous owner that left me dissatisfied, but with the new ownership (1/18) under Dr. Miles Borash, the place is back to a high standard of care combined with a healthy dose of heart & hugs. The staff is efficient with intake, dismissal, and personal attention to each dog and I find them extremely reliable in every category. You can tell a lot by how your dogs react when walking in the door; my dogs happily bound through the doorway and receive a warm welcome from the staff each time. Brianna is very thorough and very careful to note the personal needs of your dog, including medications, feeding, etc., and Doug lends a personal touch in his care that allows my ultra sensitive poodle to relax enough that he can even pick him up - something he doesn't let anyone besides me do! I'm very happy that Dr. Borash and his crew are at the helm now and I can leave the dogs here with not a worry in the world.
This pet resort is under new management....we have been bringing out cat here for 10 yrs. and have noticed a difference. Mainly, she is an outdoor cat and has the opportunity here to sit out on her private porch. She has her own room with a climbing perch. She is very well cared for and Dr. Borash noticed a problem with her teeth which I wouldn't have detected and did a great job fixing it. I would definitely recommend this place to board your cat or dog if you're going away on vacation. I also feel really comfortable having a vet on the premises.....just in case.
Extremely unprofessional staff and dirty premises. I had made a reservation in person, filled out all paper work and called a few times to make sure everything was in order. When I called to ask what would be latest time to drop off my dogs, they had lost all my paperwork and had no idea I had a reservation. The manager kept saying I had never gone to make the reservation and I did. I still had to leave my dogs for 5 nights and they didn't send pictures unless I called and asked for them. They promise complimentary showers and more walks for the dogs which did not happen. I did not get back all of the blankets I had dropped off because they mix them with other dog's. The staff had a horrible attitude and didn't get along. Do yourself a favor and don't leave your dogs in that awful place.
DO NOT BRING YOUR PET HERE, horrible customer service and a nasty manager Bree, horrible communication. I would give them a zero if I could, which is a shame because Dr Borash is the best. He needs to get rid of these money scammers
Really nice place, the owner is altruistic and extremely interested in animal safety and treatment. It's nice to find a service provider with such a really good attitude toward his craft ! Highly recommend them
I love this pet resort I was so worried about leaving my little guy anywhere, but they are all so nice, and there is a vet right in the same parking lot that owns the resort so if anything were to happen they would take him to the vet right there, I am so happy I found this place it’s the best.
Amazing service! You can tell she really loves animals, which is hard to come by and extremely reassuring. The only problem is that the dog is more excited to see her than me!
Courtney is truly an animal lover, so caring and responsible!!!!
