Ros and John were a pleasure to house sit for. They are very friendly and hospitable and we enjoyed getting to know them for a couple of days before they went away and again when they returned. Their home is very spacious with everything we could possibly need (even the loan of a bicycle, thanks Ros) and a very comfortable bed to sleep in. They have a lovely garden which the local birds and squirrels enjoy also. "Little Cat" was easy to care for as she is quite an independent feline, but enjoyed our company and being brushed and stroked. Harlow is in a good location being reasonably close to London, Cambridge and the coast. We enjoyed our time there and wouldn't hesitate to sit for them again.
stay in the House Sally has been super, the House is perfectly equipped and located, and both Maggie dog and cat Elvis are perfectly educated. The family waited us the day of arrival and they were very cordial with us, giving us explanations on pets and the House. We have been very happy in that House, we would love to repeat. Many thanks to Sally and Andrew for their hospitality
I had a wonderful experience watching Mickey and Minnie. The dogs are the absolute sweetest - they came on adventures to the beach, hikes, and walks through the park with me. They loved adventures but were also great cuddle buddies. They’re super affectionate and balance each other well - Mickey with his playful, puppy-like energy, and Minnie with her calm, mature, big sister energy. Amanda and Brad were extremely organized, communicative and welcoming. They met me the day before the sit for the house sit and explained everything clearly, as well as wrote out instructions, as well as recommendations for things to do in the area. They were always available to answer anything I needed. The place was beautiful - it was clean, super comfy, and had beautiful views to the water and the park. The area is great for nature lovers like myself, with the park right across the street, as well as canyons, gardens, etc for exploring. I miss these pups so much already and can’t wait to sit again some day!
We had an absolutely wonderful time at Olympe's beautiful apartment. The affectionate and loving nature of her three cats made our stay even more delightful. They snuggled and slept with us in the bed, just like our own cats do. It was a joy to pamper them with cuddles and engage them in playful activities. Initially, Toph was a bit shy, but she quickly warmed up to us, revealing her true beauty. Each of Olympe's cats possesses a distinct and captivating personality. This experience was perfect for us, especially since it was our first time house sitting. We are already looking forward to returning and spending time with Maïs, Toph, and Suki once again.
Elizabeth and Stuart were very friendly and open, welcoming us with a meal and a walk to a country pub, a brilliant way to get to know them a little and of course the dogs! Their house is spacious and comfortable set in a friendly neighbourhood with a lovely garden. Oscar, Teddy and Tess were so easy to care for, great company and they soon let us know their usual routine! Elizabeth’s instructions were clear and straightforward so that Dave and I were able to enjoy a relaxing stay with plenty of time to take in the beautiful coastal town of Whitby. I highly recommend this sit. Thank you Elizabeth and Stuart Anna
Sumitra and Anit were perfect hosts and made us very welcome in the beatiful home. This was a winter sit so walking Veetu was sometimes a challenge for her as she is an older dog. But we managed very well to get her a good few walks in every day. We would always welcome a future invitation from this lovely family.

Our dog muffin just spent 3 weeks with Stephanie at the dog training spot and had a fantastic time. His mommy was placed in a nursing home so he needed a family to love him while he was waiting on his new mama. Stephanie and the team took fantastic care of muffin and he is now very happily at his new family. The training that he received from Stephanie was fantastic and he came out like a brand new dog learning all the things a dog should learn.
Stephanie did the 5 week private training program with my GSD Rocky starting when he was 11 weeks old. After each training session, there was a noticeable improvement in obedience, applicable intellect, and engagement. Stephanie worked on what I wanted to work on instead of forcing a cookie cutter curriculum. I would strongly recommend The Dog Training Spot anybody seeking dog training at any level.
My 4 year old rescue poodle Luna Belle was experiencing major anxiety and was quite stressed. I thought she was just excited. 🤷♀️ Stephanie assessed her immediately and taught me how to read Luna’s body language and she gave me steps to keep her from jumping on me and nipping when I return home and walk in the door. It worked brilliantly! She now sits on command with a calm energy. No more jumping and anxiety. Stephanie then taught me how to walk her on a leash properly without Luna pulling like a sled dog and very high anxiety around people. She walks next to me now not in front of me, turns corners, sits on command during walks and before crossing the road. Luna has found a new calm and confidence. Stephanie is brilliant in her training and knowledge of animals and their behaviors. I would recommend Stephanie highly for anyone who is looking for guidance with their best friend. The Dog Training Spot is the best dog training that I have found by far with quick and effective results. Thank you Stephanie! 💗🐩
I’m leaving this review because the training I received was outstanding. Stephanie made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process, always checking in to ensure I wasn’t feeling overwhelmed. She took the time to teach me how to give clear and effective commands, making sure I understood every step of the way. I would definitely recommend The Dog Training Spot.
We're full-time RVers and constantly meeting new people and their dogs. We recently picked up a stray Akita that suffers from long-term neglect and consequently is aggressive toward other dogs (he bit one). As such, we were worried about his behavior but did not know how to handle him. Through much research, we found Stephanie, and she is amazing! She taught us how to read his body language and how to react in different situations. Loki is now much calmer around other dogs and while he still has much to learn, we have a clear direction and path to follow to get there. We highly recommend Stephanie if you have a dog with behavioral issues. She is patient, knowledgeable, and truly cares about your pet.
Stephanie exceeded all of our expectations. Our rescue Lyla is much calmer, and relaxed now. She listens much better, and I've also learned how to understand her much better. Plus, she has a great place for daycare, and boarding now!
I hired Stephanie with The Dog Training Spot to teach my 3 year old Pitbull ( who is a total love bug and sweetheart who LOVES EVERYONE) some basic manners, as he was jumping on every person he got excited to see! She did an amazing job and I’m actually hiring her for more work in the future. I recommend her 100% she’s awesome and great at her job! She was the only trainer I contacted that wasn’t negative about the stigma attached to his breed, she was up for the task and I appreciate her so much! Much success in his Advanced 6 week In Home Training. See pics below!
All we can say is that Stephanie is amazing!!! Our 7 month old English Shepherd was reactionary to new people, new dogs, new sounds (you got it….ALL things new.) Stephanie came to our house and she had control right from the start. We knew he was smart but she brought out a whole new side of him. Her techniques are different from other training we’ve experienced and we couldn’t be more pleased. I couldn’t get him to down from a sit. In 2 minutes Stephanie taught him (and us) how to make him down. Ever since he drops at the word down! We can walk without him pulling my arm off and he will sit and watch as dogs and people pass by! He still has a little ways to go but Stephanie has worked magic!! Khyber is a better companion because of her.
My wife and I got a new rescue puppy. Shiloh, is a mixed breed, American Bully, Aussie shepherd, and Terrier. We knew he would grow to be a larger dog than we were used to owning so with that in mind we decided to find someone to help us train him. Stephanie has been a world changer for us and Shiloh. We decided on the in home basic training program that included 5 in home one on one training sessions. Stephanie arrived at each of the sessions promptly and has had great communication throughout the training period. Her ability to teach Shiloh and “us” how to communicate with each other and how to understand what it takes to create what will undoubtedly be a lifetime of love and happiness. Specifically we wanted to train Shiloh how to walk “on leash” in the neighborhood and in public spaces, as well as in home behavior with friends and relatives. The results have been amazing. On top of the behavioral training her knowledge of dietary and some “stool” issues that Shiloh was experiencing has helped us tremendously. We highly recommend Stephanie, your dog will love you for it.
Amazing! Seriously, in one word that's the best way to describe Stephanie and my experience with Training Spot. Dad passed away unexpectedly and I was 1000 miles from home with no one to turn to. I reached out to Training Spot based off a recommendation I saw elsewhere. Stephanie reached out to me and made herself available on extremely short notice for pet sitting for 2 dogs and 2 cats. Rates were reasonable and the animals were well taken care of. She even managed to meet me a day ahead of time to finish paperwork and make ME comfortable with the process. I will not hesitate to use the services available at Training Spot again. These people care about your pets.
So far I have no complaints. This is the first time using them for Abby, my Miniature Poodle Shihtzu mix. I can say the place was clean and the staff friendly. I had arranged Abby's stay weeks in advance. When I arrived they said I needed a local contact who could be at their location within 45 minutes. I had no problem with that but if they would have called and asked before her dropoff date or asked at the time I booked her stay it would have been done. Luckily I got a hold of my neighbors before my plane took off and gave them their contact information. I knew they wouldn't have minded just didn't know if they had plans. I was told that this was something new. Just glad I didn't have to cancel my trip.
Best kept secret boarding! This is the most awesomest place to board your Dogs or Cats and birds. Its very clean and bright and every room has a cute theme along with a Kitty bed and a TV. The place isn't too big but yet not too small and the girls that work there have been there for years and love their job. You can even come in for a free tour. Five star Pet Hotel
There paperwork ruined my vacation. Said they would call me with any problems, they never called. I couldn't find another place for my dog on short notice so I had to cancel my flight and hotel. Never again also, the place smelled with pet hair everywhere. Try cleaning
We had to board our 2 cats for about 3 weeks while we were relocating to Florida. Village Pet Villas was awesome!! The pet transport service was able to drop off the 2 fuzzies while we were still out of state & they were very well cared for. We were worried they might be traumatized but they were happy as clams here. The little condos are great. We visited once and the cats were very happy, purring & eating. The staff was great. Can definitely recommend them for your treasured pets.
We've used Pet Villas once before and our cat did very well. Staff was very interested in my pet and her needs. They were "pet friendly "! Our cat is there now as a matter of fact. Highly recommend.
I have been using Village Pet Villas to board my dog for a few months and I'm so glad I found them. The staff are amazing and they understand the stress both the owner and dog go through when having to board. I have total confidence and piece of mind in this facility and wouldn't take my dog any other place. They are the best!
This place is AMAZING! We brought our pup and kitty here from out of state, an were looking for just the right safety, care, and love for them that we give...And We Found it! The Manager Susan was Delightful an Warm to our situation of needs... The facility is Very Clean and Full of Love. We will be looking forward to returning and having our pets stay here Again. And will Refer our friends an family here as well! Thank you so Much Village Pet Villas!
First time stay for Chi Chi, our 6 lb finicky chihuahua, was a charm. The spacious room, comfortable toddler size bed and surroundings made Chi Chi feel relaxed so he was able to eat, move around. He did not bark to get out as we left him..There was plenty of light so he could sun bathe as he wished. The facility is immaculate and free of any unpleasant odors. There was room for his small crate, favorite bedding and toys. They refrigerated his home made food and heated it up as needed. They followed all my wishes for his comfort and nutrition. When we arrived he was comfortably laying on his round bed brought from home i had placed on top of the toddler bed. And from what I saw the bedding on his small crate was used so he had his choice of any part of the room and beds he wanted to use. I am grateful for the care,atmosphere and we where able to leave with a peaceful mind. I have contacted several so called pet hotels they don't let you inspect the premises first AND the rooms are not spacious as the represent. They r more like cubicle rooms, and staff not so friendly....Thanks pet villas will be seeing you again as we begin to travel. Anyone able to donate to this beautiful place please do so, it is well worth having a place like this where you can be completely confident your pet WILL BE "SAFE" AND COMFORTABLE"!!!!!! with the comforts of home. If my Chi Chi was believe me ALL will be.
Here is an update to my original post and I added a couple of stars. I was contacted a couple of days later with apology and confirmation of available booking. I was then able to go on my 10 day vacation and when I returned my pup was happy and had been well cared for. I appreciated all efforts made to correct the confusion. The staff was very nice. I would be willing to use them again to board my dog. Original post (only 1 star rating) Not sure if it’s the business’ process or some irresponsible employees but I tried booking a reservation to board twice, 2 months and 1 month before my trip, and both times there was no physical record made of my reservation.
My cat stayed here for about a week and had a great time. She had space to move around and a window to look out of. The staff is wonderful and took the time to let her out and play with her. They even took her picture for a Christmas ornament! This was our first time boarding her, and we could not be more comfortable or pleased with the care she received.
I have a high-energy German Shepherd mix with Doberman that had a lot of anxiety to play with other dogs. Liz helped me with this, her training sessions were engaging and tailored to my dog’s needs. Started to see results just after the first session. Liz is very knowledgeable and I highly recommend her for anyone looking to improve their dog’s training and behaviour.
Just picked up our girl from a 10 day stay. Coco was very happy and well cared for. Liz always takes great care of our pup and we feel confident and worry free whenever she stays. Bonus is that any time we go to drop her off, she gets so excited when we are getting close to Liz’s house.
I have a HIGH energy spoiled Standard Poodle that most dog sitters can not handle. I am so fortunate to have found Liz! She knows how to handle dogs and my dog gets to run like a nut while there. Liz has a great setup for dog care. I totally trust her to take care of our princess!
We were very lucky to find Elizabeth as we are snow birds and new to the area. We use Liz to watch our 60 lb Labradoodle at least twice a week for play days and several overnights on weekends for 4 months now. We will be going back home till next winter and will miss her excellent care for our dog. She is really great with all the dogs and actually supervises them all day while they play in the huge private yard or are taking a time out inside. Rest assured your dog will come home happy and tired after staying at Good Dog. I would highly recommend her and will be back next year.
Owner Liz Doyle has created a fun, safe and secure home away from home for dogs. Her property is designed with many opportunities for the dogs to play. Budzie enjoys both day care and overnight stays. Liz is professional, friendly and caring. Her rates are the most reasonable in the area. She taught him how to sit and wait before coming in! I always rest easy knowing my "Pookie" is with her.
Liz took excellent care of our dog Dallas while we travelled. She was loving and caring and worked patiently with his finicky eating habits. He Loved her large fenced yard. .
Liz takes such good care of our kitties when we are out of town!! They are always happy to see her which doesn’t happen often with other visitors. Liz is the best!
Liz has an amazing place to keep my fur babies entertained. She has had both my pups, and had been able to work with my 12+ year old German Shepard and sort energetic younger one. She's the only place we take our 'kids'
My Lola had lots of fun when she spent last Thanksgiving with Elizabeth. She provided wonderful care for my Havanese and I felt comfortable leaving my bay with her. I definitely recommend her for your furry friend.
Very grateful for the attention to detail, and very special care of my high needs breed! I would recommend these guys every time! Go and enjoy your trip, and not worry about your beloved or footed for baby!!!
Our two pups love stay and play! They get so excited when they hear the word “daycare” and go running inside to the staff each time they arrive. The staff is kind, attentive and I know our boys are in good care while they are there. We definitely recommend their services! ❤️🐾 …
Can’t recommend enough. They do cool stuff with the dogs. I know it’s great because when I ask Athena if she wants to go to “doggy daycare”? She gets so excited to go. Even though they give her baths. And she hates baths. We’ve done daycare, baths and we board her there like twice a year for vacation. She is always excited to go.
Our dogs love this place! Just move to the area. Was looking for a great daycare for my three dogs and this is it! Very friendly and helpful staff. Five play yards and a lot of room for your pups to socialize and get some activity out. Highly recommend
Stay and Play is amazing! Mary and her staff are wonderful and they love your pets as if they were their own. We have been away the past year but will be bringing Lola back this week. She misses all of her friends at Stay and Play. I would give millions of stars if I could. Do not hesitate to take your pets to Stay and Play, you can rest assured they are in the very best of hands! We love you all, Love Lola and Family. PS - The photo I am attaching here was taken at Stay and Play! They do photo shoots throughout the year and during holidays which is awesome! They also have phenomenal groomers!
I did research for weeks on different places to board my animals for a trip. I have 2 dogs and a cat. This was the only place I felt comfortable enough to leave my dogs for a day let alone my 11 day trip. My dogs are very active and have free range over 30 acres at home so being cooped up was a huge worry of mine. They did amazing! They were outside ALOT had tons of interaction with humans and other dogs. They were loved on and cared for as though they were at home with us. Our cat Tink was in heaven with her own private Oasis with lots of loving throughout the day. I'm pretty sure she loved the alone time from her brothers 🐕 I was able to add pictures and special treats throughout their stay and a bath the day of pick up for the boys. The price in my mind couldn't be beat! I love that they also offer day care for the dogs as well. We have done that and let's just say they came home and slept like babies. I won't be sending my animals anywhere else.
I have been bringing my dogs to Stay & Play for over 8 years. It’s been wonderful knowing I can leave them there and go away with a clear head. The staff is just incredible… you can just tell they love animals. When I leave my dog Dakota at daycare or overnight she gets so excited in the car on the way there. That speaks volumes. Thank you all for all that you do. You guys just rock!
My dogs love going to Stay & Play. Every time we go there they get so excited. They are always greeted by staff that are so happy to see them. When they come home from Stay & Play they are wore out, so I know they had a great time playing with their friends. They facility is clean, the staff genuinely love dogs, and they offer a discount for multiple dogs from the same family. I would highly recommend checking this place out.
I cannot say enough AMAZING things about this facility. I am a travel nurse and I travel with my pup and I have to board him once every few weeks to go back home (CT) and I trust this place more than I’ve ever trusted a facility with my baby boy. They play with the pups and make sure they are all in appropriate playing groups. They feed him accurately and make sure he gets the amount of exercise he needs for the day. I also bring him to daycare there and he gets so happy when we pull in because he knows he’s going to have a day full of fun and playing! I love this place SO much and I’m so bummed there isn’t a place like this in CT because they are incredible! I HIGHLLLLLLLYYYYY recommend.
We absolutely love stay and play! Our dogs have gone several times for over night stays. When we pull into the driveway their tails start to wag and they are so anxious to get out of the car. The people who work there are so sweet and love our dogs. We call to make appointments they always respond by using our dogs' names. We also get a bath before we bring them home after a stay and my husband and I feel it is the best bath we have ever received.
I have been taking my dog (s) to Stay and Play Pet Getaway for eight years. I use their daycare, boarding, and grooming. My pet is every bit as important as the humans in our family so I am steadfast in finding and using quality services providers. Stay and Play owners and associates are committed to their mission and work tirelessly to deliver excellent care. They also make it a super fun experience for their guests! On special occasions they take pictures. Below are a couple of the special photographs. I also included pictures of our boy at daycare. I highly recommend Stay and Play Pet Getaway!
