We really enjoyed our stay at James house, Pudding is a lovely cat that enjoys chilling at the balcony and is super easy going. The communication was really clear, James gave us total freedom to enjoy his apartment and we felt like home at an amazing location in the heart of Bondi Beach.
It was an absolute pleasure to housesit for Pam and Gordon. While the initial dates did change from April 2020 to Dec 2020/Jan 2021, (due to Covid) this seemed to give them a greater excuse to welcome me to their delightful home in New Plymouth. On the evening of my arrival they invited a number of neighbours over for dinner, so right from the start I felt part of the local 'hood. Ranger, their handsome Russian Blue, was easy to care for. A plate or two or his favourite food, a snug bed to sleep on, and a 'bit of a chat' morning and evening was enough to keep him happy. Pam and Gordon's backyard and garden is special indeed. From bathing under the stars on a warm summer's evening, to sitting on the 'love swing' in the cool of the shade, it was idyllic simply to be there. Add to this the close proximity to the hub of downtown New Plymouth and it's many attractions, as well as supermarkets, cafes and restaurants this sit is one I shall always consider fortunate to have been chosen to do. Pam and Gordon are kind, generous and warm people and this sit would rate among one of the best among the many housesits I have done over the past number of years.
Rayme was wonderful and her pets were perfection. Communication was excellent, location was perfect, and most importantly, Chauncey and Avery were the sweetest, most wonderful animals. I will miss them, for sure.
The home is lovely. The dogs are great. Gary and Rebecca are excellent hosts.
We loved our experience from start to finish in Glin with the adorable Coco and Murphy. The house was cosy and welcoming with the most Comfortable beds we'd ever slept on. It is an ideal location and we felt like part of the community, as everyone was so friendly. The dogs were hilarious and loved cuddles and attention. They also were really content in the car to head off and explore other towns and beaches. Garrett and Clare were amazing hosts, so chilled out and let us arrive a day early to really get the most out of our trip. We'd definitely sit for them again if we were in Ireland. We miss the dogs already!!!
House sitting for Fiona and Robin, looking after their two gorgeous girls was an absolute pleasure. We arrived the night before they left and had such a lovely welcome. A trip around the village, meeting the neighbours and a bbq out in the garden. It was was actually sad when Fiona and Robin left the next day. They are a very generous, welcoming couple. Their home is in a quiet village with very easy access to local walks, pubs and local shops. Their home is spacious, clean and very comfortable. Their two girls Lulu and Fleur are gorgeous cats. They are sisters and rescue cats. It takes a bit for them to warm to you, but once they do, they are happy for a few pats and head scratches and Lulu loves a good tummy rub. They are very easy to care for. Fiona left clear and helpful instructions. We highly recommend this sit and hope to be back in the future.

Thank you so much Beth the owner of Clark’s dog kennel. I was outside cutting the bushes with a weed cutter. She stopped and asked me if I wanted to use her electric bush trimmer. I have never met this lady before in my life. Nor is she ever met me. I wish there were more neighbors like this. She is a wonderful person.Not many people like her in the world! I’m happy she stopped. Thank you for your kindness!😊
I'm so grateful for Clark's Dog Kennel! My dog is reactive toward strangers. They let me drop her off/pick her up from the outdoor run myself, which is a huge relief. Boarding options are limited when you have a reactive dog. I'm so glad I found them!
Bad experience! We have two dogs, one a puppy. They don't accept credit only cash. So I had to give $800 up front. First warning sign. Puppy had intestinal parasites and was treated but just before leaving on our trip had tested positive. I notified them ASAP that he needed more meds but it could take 2 weeks to fix but we were leaving on vacation before he could get tested again since we had to leave. They also wanted both dogs tested again, it costs $200 for each set of tests. The adult had no parasites. So it was going to cost me another $200, and no guarantee the puppy would pass since the treatment would not be completed in time. If he failed I would have no place to kennel him before we left since it was last minute. So I had to cancel my reservation to find another kennel which didn't require testing. I requested a refund since I was following there requirements and I couldn't take a chance of not having a place to put my dogs. They refused to give a refund since it was 10 days before boarding and they wanted 14 days notice. I asked the owner to call me so we can discuss but she never called me. So I am out $1000 because the owner doesn't care about her customers, only getting the money. I was planning on boarding them there for all future trips but i will never use them again. Zero star rating!!!!!
Our puppy, Broly, just started coming here a month ago. He's a crazy boy but they knew exactly what to do to handle him. They understood his breed's needs and characteristics. They also use positive behavior reinforcement with him (which we also use at home with him). It's great to know they're carrying that over during his daycare days. We are extremely grateful that he has a great daycare that we trust with him. We know he's a handful at times so we appreciate how hard they work with him.
Hayley and Beth went above and beyond for our dogs first stay! Definitely made traveling away from home less stressful. Thanks so much for the attentive care.
Jessie loves going to daycare here. He has such a great time with all his pack. And sleeps very well when he gets home. Highly recommended daycare/kennel. They also have so much land to run around on.
My dog gets groomed here by Sean and he does an amazing job! I get so many compliments on his haircut and he always smells so good after!
Our energetic year old loves Clarks. We board her there and she goes to day care one day per week for socialization. The staff is caring and attentive. We love the daily pictures posted of play time.
Highly recommend Bob's doggie day care. His kindness, understanding and love of dogs have been a lifesaver for me and my overly active fun loving pup....she loves it there! Very reasonable, convenient payment options.
I promise you there is no one better/more affordable for the amount of information you receive. Could not be happier to find Bob Clark in my town. We used him 4 years ago for our older dog , and now again for our new puppy. In the 4 years we hadn’t seen him, I must have dropped his name about 50 times because he’s THAT good. Don’t look elsewhere- this is your guy/trainer/daycare - Thanks Bob!
My dog has been going to day care for several months. We worked our way up from going twice a week to 5 days over the course of the summer to build up his stamina for all the play at their recommendation. Jameson is very happy to go and I love seeing his pictures & videos online with his buddies. He always looks happy & well cared for.
We love the Staff at Valley Pet! We have boarded our two labs with them several times. Love the access to 24 hours cameras and all the pictures they post on Facebook so we can check in on the pups.
My Gracie loves coming here and playing with the other dogs...especially the other Frenchies! I wasn't sure how she would come home but she came home very happy, still a little play in her and seemed so content with her day. I can tell she had lots of attention and was well cared for! I'm so glad someone recommended the Valley Pet Resort to me. I have tried private dog walkers and sitters, however their schedules aren't always available. Also very clean environment! I highly recommend!
I boarded my kitty for 3 nights here and he was a happy boy!! The staff is wonderful, loving and very good with animals. My boyfriend & parents send their dogs here for daycare & the pups absolutely love going!!! I highly recommend The Valley Pet Resort and Spa to anyone with a kitty or dog!!! I would most definitely use them again!!!!
We left our sweet boy in their care for 12 nights and we couldn't be more satisfied with the level of care he received. Their communication was wonderful! They provided several updates through text message to ease our hearts while we were away from our baby. At drop off, we were missing a vaccination and we couldn't board him, and they went above and beyond to accommodate us so we could quickly take him to the vet. I researched all the available dog boarding facilities, and before I had even spoken with anyone at TVPR, they were my first choice. I was so thankful they had an opening for us! They have wonderful and safe accommodations. Rigby was skittish around the bigger dogs during group playtime, so they created a small pup play group tailored to his needs. There is also no doubt in my mind that these facilities are well-maintained and clean, as our baby didn't come back to us smelly and dirty. He was very happy and calm. Highly recommend boarding your dog here.
Me and my pup Louie LOVEEEE the valley pet resort. You are always greeted with the friendliest faces, you get great updates on your pups day and they post daily pictures & videos for you to see your furry friend in their element. We boarded our pup for the first time for our wedding and I didn’t worry for even a second about him being in the best hands. Whether you’re doing daycare or boarding I couldn’t recommend a place more. You can tell the staff LOVES animals and will care for yours like it’s their own.
I love this place! The staff is very nice, helpful, knowledgeable and you can tell that they are truly animal people. Plenty of parking and the Resort is very clean. The suite areas have various themes - Sports, International cities, National Parks - and even the smallest suites are bigger than other boarding places and some have TVs. They offer 'Family' suites and some of their larger luxury suites have chandeliers. The inside and outside play yards are spacious with obstacles to climb and play on. They currently have weekday daycare but are working to set up weekend daycare. They also have cat suites on a separate floor and some grooming services available. A one stop shop. Comparably priced but A Much Better Bang for the Buck because your Fur Baby gets More Space!
Valley Pet Resort is great. Our pup, Ted, is in daycare once a week and absolutely loves it. He can’t wait to get out of the truck when we get there in the morning. The staff must be very patient because he can definitely be a handful.
The Valley Pet Resort and Spa is amazing! My dog “Lucy” LOVES going and gets so excited when we arrive. The staff are loving 🥰 to my “Lucy”! I would, and have recommended The Valley Pet and Spa for anyone looking for daycare for their dogs. 🤩 …
Amazing experiences at The Valley Pet Resort and Spa! Our big bully mix girl has separation anxiety from her family and the crew at this place does phenomenal with her! I love that I am able to check in on her throughout our vacation with their camera system and she comes home happy without any residual anxiety. I know that our girl is safe in their care. I highly recommend them for boarding.
We have been bringing our dogs (now on our third) to Gibson's for daycare and boarding for years. They love dogs and it shows - each of our has had different personalities and needs, and all - from young to geriatric - have been well cared for and happy there. Highly recommended!
Best doggy daycare around! The staff is great & so helpful. They even made up a birthday gift for our dod the week of his birthday!
Great staff and wonderful with my pup! My pup loves it at Gibson’s!! He has so much fun and can’t wait to go every week!
Do you love your pet? Of course you do! Please do not trust these untrained people at Gibson's in Grafton. We dropped our two, tail-wagging, excited & happy Border Collies off on August 27 and only one came out with us upon pick up 10 days later. The other was suffering brain trauma from the staff letting her suffer for at least 45 minutes with an epileptic seizure before getting her to her Dr. at Tufts, 10 min away. My little Ruby was hospitalized for a month and has not walked since. Please use extreme caution when boarding your loved ones here...I wish I could turn back the hands of time. Oh and by the way, Bob Gibson does not feel any responsibility for his negligence in getting her medical help right away, even though we were told that this was his procedure in case of a seizure on his watch. Buyers' Beware! And if I could have given this 0 stars I would have done so.
I love this place . Ive been taking Diego to the Worcester/Grafton st. location for over 6 years. I've never had an issue . I had him Lodge at the resort once and again no issue and honestly ....the staff and service are top notch Ive since been switching up daycare between both the Grafton & Worcester locations just to mix it up and so that my little guy Diego can feel comfortable & become familiar with all the staff and the environment provided. Bob along with the ladies @ Gibson are EPIC! THANK YOU ! You guys continue to provide epic service & my pup is a happy pup!!
My dog had a great time staying here once again. She goes to daycare here and is always SO excited to arrive. This visit we kenneled her for 12 days. She came home happy, tired, clean and silky from her exit bath. I have been kenneling my dogs with Gibson's for about 15 years and they are always wonderful.
My labs Gorham (10 y/o) and Iggy (3 y/o) have now boarded at the Grafton location on multiple occasions. When we get close to the facility, they can hardly contain their excitement. The staff are attentive and responsive, prices are reasonable and competitive, and most importantly, they don’t discriminate about specific dog breed nor do they require that your dog be fixed. Can’t recommend these guys enough!
We love Gibson’s. Our dog is always happy when we drop him off for boarding or grooming. Bob is very attentive and kind. Our sheepadoodle loves Kim the groomer. She really takes the time to make the dogs comfortable and at ease. We wouldn’t go anywhere else!
My dog loves to play at Gibson’s. I peek in the window before I pick him up and all tails are wagging!! The staff shows him so much attention and patience. They noticed some spots on him and pointed them out to me right away. He had been at another daycare and they never said a word to me . Super friendly!
We are truly grateful that we found a place that our dog Tripper absolutely loves!! He always knows where is he is going the minute we take the turn around the bend on 140. His tail starts wagging, he starts "talking" and cannot wait to get out of the car. Every person that works there Tripper greets with incredible glee and enthusiasm. Our pets are as important to us...and we want the best care possible. Tripper definitely thinks that daycare is his second home....we know that it's definitely his 2nd family!! He has been going there for the last 10 years, and I can't imagine him going anywhere else!! The staff is awesome! So friendly and caring. If Tripper gets tired from playing outside (he is an old man now!) and needs to have down time, he lets them know by going to the door and the staff lets him inside. The owners & staff have accommodated us every single time we have called-whether it be for last minute care or an end of day call asking "can he spend the night". They have never turned us away.
I’ve used Paws Bed and Biscuit several times over the past few years for boarding and daycare. They have an efficient check in process and my two dogs seem to be excited when I pull in to the kennel driveway. Exiting the property can be a bit tricky along a curvy busy road. The round mirror perched on a tree across from the entrance is help with spotting traffic. Overall prices are competitive and I’m comfortable leaving my dogs in their care.
Our little girl was a serious velcro dog and can be reactive with other dogs out of fear. Paws Bed & Biscuit staff are wonderful with her and make sure that she has a great time. She went from not wanting to leave our sides when we would drop her off to jumping and butt-wiggling every time she goes. They have told us that she has done great with the dogs and has even gotten time with the big dogs that would normally scare her. They are awesome and we will continue to take her there for daycare and board her with them when we go on vacation. We trust them implicitly and are so grateful for what they've done for her.
Always an exciting experience for our furry family. The owner is constantly updating the activities for the dogs and the staff is kind and caring. Bruno and Gino love going there and jump right into the car waiting to leave. Very happy with our experience there for the past 3 years.
I brought my pups Nola and Neo (siblings and large mixed breeds) to Puppy daycare on the recommendation of about 10 people I know and they have exceeded my expectations! Neo is very shy and doesn't like new things however after only a few play sessions he loves it there! Both my pups jump out of the car excited and ready for the day and when we pick them up they are tired for that day and into the next day too! Their facilities are a pups dream with turf, and toys, and so many friends to play with! You can tell the staff love their job and who can blame them playing with dogs all day is a dream😅 I think the cost is perfect ($60 a day for my 2 pups) so we go once or twice a week depending. I really love it here and will recommend this place to everyone!!
Absolutely the best place to board your dog. Sophie has a blast every time she's there. Seems like a lot of places keep dogs contained for most of their stay but at PAWS they're out playing the entire time. Everything about this place is top notch and the staff does a terrific job.
We found PAWS Bed and Biscuit after a negative experience at a different daycare. It’s so hard to find somewhere you can trust to leave a beloved member of the family, but my dog loves going to camp now that we have found PAWS and had his first overnight the other night. He came home clean, healthy, and very happy, and he didn’t pickup any negative behaviors while away from home. I love that this is a local family establishment run by people who know dogs, love dogs, and have a very obvious passion for their pack!!! Thank you PAWS!
We are very glad we have Paws available to take care of our corgi, Penny. We don't bring her in often, but we know that when we do, she gets top notch care. She is a very shy and timid girl so she doesn't play too much with the other dogs, but we always feel reassured that she gets lots of love from the humans. We will be boarding her here in a few months and they have been great about answering all my questions and putting my mind at ease.
Our dog goes to daycare each week at PAWS and we use them for boarding while on vacation. They always take great care of our dog and he loves it here!
The staff at Paws Bed and Biscuit are fantastic. You can tell they love their job and all the pups. The play yards (in and out) are clean and inviting. We highly recommend them for boarding and daycare.
Blue just loves it there, the staff is very nice. Great outside activities in warmer weather.
Absolutely recommend to anyone. No fuss, no stress, easy booking, drop off and pick up. We’ll be using the Dog Lodge forever.
Best dog day care service in the Boston area hands down. Our dogs love staying with them, wonderful space surrounded by trees and silence, we don't trust our furry ones with anyone else.
We only trust metro west for our dog when we travel. They love what they do and it shows in every detail, we highly recommend.
This is by far the best place, not only do they LOVE the dogs, but love the dog parents too! My parents found Woof through Jim who has groomed my parents dogs for years. I got my own little girly and she now not only sees Jim, but LOVES playcare! My 8 pound menace has come out of her shell, is getting trained, and did a better job at boarding while I got married than her mom did! Special shoutout to Jim, Maria, Valdita, & Makayla!! The whole staff is the BEST!!
I wish I read the recent reviews. They need training in customer service. The person I talked to over the phone was condescending and this should not be tolerated by any customers. That is not how you treat customers even if they get upset with certain circumstances especially rescheduling last minute. Instead of apologizing, she felt the need to be righteous and tell me all grooming places do this. This is my dog's third appointment. I told her thats incorrect and she kept talking over me. Definitely she needs to consider training in customer services. I am happy to look elsewhere. There are better grooming place than this. Run away if you want reliability and pleasant services.
They are such wonderful people here. They love the dog's so much and the pups clearly love them. My Reddington is always so happy when he arrives, he loves you all so much.
Laura is AMAZING with my cat Beauty! Always does an amazing job!!! Perfect lion cut every time! Super flexible about taking her just when she needs a nail trim too! Highly recommend!!!
Our boys Oliver and Charlie absolutely LOVE coming here! The staff make them feel right at home which is so important to us as they are rescues! 11/10 recommend
I have been taking my Goldendoodle Jewel here for 5 years now for her grooming, day care, and occasional boarding. I wouldn't take my dog to any other day care. The staff here are outstanding and they do a great job caring for pets. I drive to Woof from Lancaster just so my dog can go to a daycare center that truly takes the best care of pets! Thank you Woof!
Super caring staff that takes great care of the dogs! Wonderful grooming team that does an amazing job!
I loved their location, personalities, and quality of provided services. My men got a Lion Cut. Also, I would like to mention that he would never let me cut him, I was shocked to see him well groomed and at the same time very relaxed. Thank you 💛 …
Great boarding place. My shih tzu puppy loves staying there. Staff is very caring and place is clean!
If you’re looking for reliable service DONT go here for grooming. I have been taking my dog here for about a year and a half to see groomer Morgan and have struggled to obtain reliable service. Appointments are cancelled either day of or day before always for some other excuse. This year alone (2023) she and the company followed through with 1 scheduled appointment on time. I will reiterate - if you need reliable service, do NOT make an appointment here. In perspective, if I book an appointment once a month and so far this year most of them have been canceled or rescheduled, it makes you question what appointments she will show up for.
Shelly has groomed my dogs for about 8 years now, and she is the best! All of my dogs are nervous, and one of them is a rescue who is extremely anxious around strangers, but Shelly does a perfect job with even that pup! She cuts my Chinese Crested Powderpuffs beautifully. Top notch, worth every penny.
Barbara, Pauline and all the sitters I've had are amazing. I am ashamed I haven't written this review earlier. We have been using them for a few years now and I always rest easy knowing my fur babies are in good hands. They make sure they have emergency plans in place for all our critters and take such detailed notes. They have watched my cats and turtle. My cats are sheltered pandemic babies who have met very few people and are skittish. I am always amazed that they get at least one of the cats to come out and play! Also, great communication and updates. Highly recommend!!
I took my dog for the first time today and I am so happy with the service. It was an hour and half and my dog was groomed exactly the way I wanted her to be.. Friendly staff and thank you Michelle for your efforts..
Pauline and Elisa are the absolute best. So kind, upbeat, and caring of our pets. My schedule often changes and I am still working on improving my skills with the online scheduling feature ;) I SO appreciate Pauline and Elisa's flexibility any time a change is required. The text updates with photos are awesome too. So glad we found Companion Pet Sitting! Don't know what we'd do without this crew!
Friendly well educated staff. Maggie is very anxious but I feel comfortable leaving her in their hands. They do such an amazing job. We have been coming here for a year now and I will never go anywhere else. My mom and a few of my neighbors now bring their dogs here too and all love them. Highly recommend.
Wonderful groomer - easy to get an appointment, incredibly friendly staff, very reasonable prices. These people clearly love animals! They see very understanding with dogs who need a little extra care (anxiety, illness, etc). At other facilities you feel like you are an imposition, but not here! Definitely the best local groomer.
Today was our first visit and we were so impressed. Our little lady Gracie who is 17 and needs extra tlc and patience certainly received it there and then some. I highly recommend them. When we picked her up which was an amazing thing in itself as it was all done in an hour and she looked and smelled great but she was not stressed at all. Was actually happy and so comfortable. I also thought it was very affordable too.
I am a brand new customer with a sometimes difficult, older little dog. Very finicky as well. I was in need of a new groomer and my vet recommended Companion Pet Sitting. I have found them extremely caring, professional, knowledgeable and most importantly patient with an out of the ordinary dog, who by the way looks absolutely amazing! If you're someone who needs a new groomer, I can highly recommend them! Wish I had known of them sooner!
5 🌟 grooming facility + pet sitting...Lindsay is the only "Grooming Stylist" that I truly trust when it comes to the care of my special needs 👂 hearing impaired 👧 girl. They have a long standing foothold in the Northboro, MA community. I highly recommended them for grooming, and hydrotherapy as well as pet sitting too. …
I have an old man cat who complains incessantly and demands walks. Sitters from Companion Pet sitting have been so kind with him on their visits. They are very accommodating and it's a great deal when you book them for longer visits.
