I've used Puddlebank for week long boarding for my lab, Babs, for over six years. Carrie and…read moreMarrian offer home pick up or group pick up at a Newton Hotel parking lot. Their boarding prices are reasonable as are their transportation fees. They arrive in a hairy smelly doggie van w/ individual seat/ leash belts that are attached to other doggie "friends" for the ride to "the Farm". Babs is always thrilled to see the van pull up, and she always comes home healthy, well fed, newly groomed (if you want to) and just tired enough that I know she had a great time but without any great degree of stress or trauma. Each dog is given their own "den"...fed apart from the others...and is allowed to bring their own beds, bowls, chew toys and 'lovees' ( I always send along one of my tshirts). The dogs are given lots of play time, free time and socialization time outside their dens. You will NOT ever have a pacing, frenetic dog returned to you (unlike my experience elsewhere). These two gals who run the place are pure animal lovers who are making a respectable living doing what they love. I highly recommend them for boarding your dog.

Our dog has been a Dogtopia student for over 6 months now and my husband and I couldn't be more…read moresatisfied. The staff are friendly, caring, attentive, and professional. They treat each dog as if it was their own. We're always greeted with a warm smile at drop off in the morning, and another at evening pickup. We love that they offer spa and boarding services, meaning it's one less place we, and our pup need to visit. Otto, our 5 year old German Shorthaired Pointer is always excited to head to "school" in the morning, and literally struts out the door with his nose held high in the evening when leaving.

Dogtopia of North Worcester is fantastic. I've been bringing my pup here for almost two years…read moreregularly and it is always a great experience. The staff is always super welcoming and so excited to see my pup. They always have fun events going on too which is great and keeps us interested. I've boarded my pup a number of times here and it is always great knowing they take good care of my pup. Individual playtime in the evening, never any issues with feeding/special requests, and they were very on top of everything. The staff is amazing, my dog loves the staff and the other dogs, and they are always happy to help. I would definitely recommend anyone with a dog that is friendly with other people and dogs, and is also comfortable with periodic downtime in crates, to experience dogtopia.

I have boarded my cats here many times since 2003, starting with Arthur until he passed away and…read morethen more recently with my new cat Her Meowjesty. The service has been top notch every time and the staff are really dedicated. It's obvious they care for the pets and provide the best care. I would never consider any other place for my pet's safety while I am away.

We just moved to the area and I was looking for a vet for my little man. I chose Community Animal…read moreHospital based mostly off reviews, and I'm glad I did because I probably wouldn't have known about the Inn & Spa. Google was only showing me places like Woof, Gibson's and Waggerz. I've tried Woof and Gibson's so far and Community Animal Inn & Spa is my favorite. The Inn & Spa is located underneath the Hospital. Pull into the same parking lot for the Hospital but go down the hill and there's more parking down there for the Inn & Spa. From the parking lot, you can see the outdoor area. They have curbside pickup now and you can either text or call (but the staff is super good about coming out before you even get a chance to do that). What makes the Inn & Spa better? Their outdoor area and size of the facility. They rotate the dogs to play inside and outside so the dogs get a decent amount of TLC, time to stay on their normal potty schedules, and then time to rest some if they choose. I also feel like the Inn & Spa has more staff attending to the dogs. My dog is always super excited when I bring him here and he's pooped when he comes home. He's pretty high energy and some other daycare places that are smaller don't do the trick for him. The staff is super friendly and personable. They took a cute picture of him when he was playing in the snow. They're also great about feeding him and fulfilling any requests. The only bad is that they open too late! 8AM on weekdays and 9AM on weekends. I would totally take him here more but I have to be at work too early, which is why I had to check out other daycare facilities. Also, a package to make daycare in bulk cheaper is in the works so that's a plus. Overall, if you need a vet, if you need lodging, if you need grooming, or if you need just daycare, this is seriously a one-stop shop for it all. Highly recommend! (Just open earlier pretty please!)

"....Lucky Dog Day Care is, by far, a top notch canine facility for boarding, day care, grooming…read moreservices and the like! Prior to our first visit, I had the opportunity to talk with one of the owners and I was so impressed with her knowledge, her years of experience and her welcoming demeanor on the phone that I felt confident I had chosen the right venue for my dog! Our first visit was for a 1/2 day of care for my 1 year old German Shorthair Pointer, Lucy. And, I can honestly say that I was not disappointed because seeing her come out to me, in the reception area, with her tail wagging and her ears perked up, I was certain that she wasn't disappointed either! From that experience, I utilized LDDC for short outings, times when I had to be somewhere wherein she couldn't tag along or shopping trips and again, we were happy with the care and....last but not least, Lucy also had an overnight stay and of course, that too was incident free and very satisfying. The most important piece of advice I can give anyone that considers day care or overnight boarding for their dogs is that you must be able to leave your dog and walk away knowing that they will be safe and will be cared for as if they were in their own home and... that's just what Lucky Dog offers!" *I would be remiss if I forgot to mention the incredible staff members at LDDC. I met several people that impressed me with their warm, nurturing attitude toward the dogs, their canine behavioral knowledge and most important, their ability to help my dog have a positive experience!
