Misty was amazing! She made time to meet up with me before the housesit which made me feel very comfortable. She was very communicative and organized with coordinating details. She was very trustworthy and it felt like I was leaving my kitty Zenon and my home in very safe hands. She sent me pictures and videos of them cuddling and playing, so I knew Zenon was super happy! Misty was very easygoing and had a very grounded energy which I appreciated. I think she left my house cleaner than she found it! I was away on a challenging camping trip and when I shared this info, Misty offered to help out with anything she could and was flexible to accommodate my changing travel which was so nice. I loved connecting with Misty and would absolutely recommend her to anyone else.
Leigh was a great house and pet sitter. She was very communicative before and during her stay. It was wonderful receiving regular pictures and updates about how Autumn was doing. Our cat is quite shy but seemed to warm up to Leigh quickly. We returned to a clean house and watered plants and a happy kitty. It was so nice knowing everything was taken care of during our time away. We recommend Leigh to be your next house/pet sitter.
Nina and Jeremy are excellent hosts!! They own a great property with rental accomodations in Santa Teresa that is very well placed for access to most of everything within walking distance, from 5-20 minutes. Samy and Pepper were a delight to connect with and easy to keep their routine going while Nina and Jeremy were away. We arrived a couple of days before they left, and they were both thorough with all of our responsibilities. They left everything in very good order and were available during the sit as required for the rentals. We fell in love with Samy and Pepper and we had a great time connecting with Nina and Jeremy too. They are very welcoming, generous, fun and thoughtful! We had the best time with the pups on beach walks, snuggles and playing at home. They both have such beautiful and vibrant personalities and they are very well behaved!! Such sweeties, we can't ooo and goo over them enough. Their personal apartment is clean, modern and very comfortable. They've built a lovely set of rental apartments nestled in what feels like the jungle, even when you're right in town. We miss them all and hope our paths will cross in the future!! We highly recommend this sit! Thank you Nina and Jeremy for a wonderful experience and thank you for trusting us with your home, business and fur babies most of all!! All the best, Jolene and Anthony
Buddy & Socks were a delight to look after, and happily included Bella (my mini schnauzer) in their daily activities. Buddy loves your attention, and his food (including any Socks leaves, who is a grazer)! The house is very private with bush land views & walks around, and lots of dog running space. Trips to nearby leash free park enjoyed. Tracey & Guy lovely and responsive home owners. Would gladly house & pet sit again🥰
The two girls Penny and Bella touched my heart the short time I was with them and all they wanted was your company,the area is central to shops but also situated in a quiet estate and Thelma made everything easy to follow it was a pleasure looking after her girls..
We had the pleasure of sitting the house of Victoria and Jan for around 10 days where we had an amazing time with their 3 beautiful dogs. Their home is only 10 minutes walking distance from the main train station and city center/beach, with a big supermarket at the corner and all types of stores, bars, and restaurants around. The house is brand new, it has an amazing kitchen, gas barbecue, lovely terrace, and relaxing pool area, we felt like being in a 5 stars luxurious hotel! We stayed in a very cozy room with a private shower and bathroom. Their 3 dogs stole our hearts. At first, Apollo and Zeus were a bit nervous, but as we spent more time with them, they quickly became comfortable around us. They are highly educated, clean, and very easy to take care of. As we got to know them, it was easy to fall in love with them. Fooey is the princess of the house, she loves to be next to you and follow you wherever you go! She's the most loyal companion who will quickly become your best friend. Victoria and Jan are exceptional hosts, they took the time to explain and show us around the house providing details on everything, they gave us a personal tour, and left an iPad full of instructions and tips. We absolutely loved everything and can't wait to return for another amazing sit! :)
Lola and Snowy are expressive and affectionate. They require a bit of extra care but they rewarded me handsomely by returning lots of love and gratitude. Isobel and Simon go out of their way to make things easy and comfortable. Their home is well-appointed and low maintenance, the neighborhood is quiet and friendly, even their lovely garden and fish pond are hassle-free! I am eager to return and spend more time with such lovely people and their two super-cute doggies!
We cannot thank Debbie and Andy enough for letting us take care of their adorable huskies Arley and Storm, the dogs were a pleasure to take care of and so easy to walk! We felt so relaxed in their lovely home and beautiful garden, Debbie and Andy were responsive, super lovely and friendly. Definitely highly recommend this sit to anyone!

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.
