Patty, the owner seemed lovely. I wasn't thrilled about the size of the crates 6x4, but figured we could do a trial run for 1 night before his actual stay. We agreed on a day and time for me to bring my cat and the day before she asked if I could come at 9:00am instead of 9:30am because she was heading out for 2 hours at 9:15!! WHAT?? She thought nothing of having me bring my cat who had never been there before, shove him in a crate and the leave right after he gets there for 2 hours? The whole point of me bringing him was for her to meet him, see how he does. When I asked if it might be better to bring him later that day when she would be around, she said no I'm having company!! Again WHAT?? How much attention and time was she planning on spending with my cat who would probably have been frightened as can be. I would NEVER bring my cat there and I'm so happy that I learned what she's truly all about beforehand. Looks can be deceiving!!

I just have to share my absolute love for Pet Companions Bed and Biscuit Dog Care!…read more My dog has been going there for over six years, and honestly, I can't sing their praises enough. The moment I ask, "Do you want to go to school?" my dog is up and ready, heading straight for the door. It's such a joy to see her excitement as we drive down the street - she knows exactly where we're going and I can't contain her enthusiasm, bouncing from window to window. When we finally pull up, I have to brace myself because she drags me to the front door, eager to get inside. It's adorable how her whole-body wiggles like an "S" when she's excited - it never fails to make me laugh. Under the new ownership, which has been in place since 2023, Pet Companions Bed and Biscuit has only improved. The facility looks better than ever, with separate rooms for chilling out, enjoying treats, solving puzzles, and even taking nature walks with the staff. And that's just the tip of the iceberg! There's so much more for the dogs to do besides playing with their friends. They even offer grooming and cageless boarding. This place is truly amazing, and I can't recommend it highly enough. Warm regards, C. Festa

I'm new to the area and have called and left messages asking about their services and no one has called back.

She has always been really flexible with scheduling (last-minute work from home days or a soon-to-be much more variable schedule). She always makes sure to let me know well in advance if there are days she won't be available so that I can make other accommodations. She also just goes the extra mile to let me know if there is anything "off" with my dog (or even with my apartment). She even bought a bag of my dog's favorite treats just because she happened to be at a store where they had them for a good price! I could not ask for a better care-taker for my pooch. I highly recommend Linda for any pet care.

I am very disappointed with my experience with Pawmenities before the service even started, and I…read morewant to share my experience for anyone considering leaving their dog in their care. I made a boarding reservation for my dog and paid a 50% deposit on June 10. When I needed to adjust the boarding dates, I contacted Pawmenities a week before the scheduled service multiple times by email, text message, and phone, but I received no response for several days. The automatic phone system was especially frustrating because it directed me to communicate by text message, but my text messages also went unanswered. The lack of communication was extremely concerning, especially since this was my first time using their service and I needed to feel confident about where my dog would be staying. Because I could not get any answers, I drove to the Lynnfield location expecting to visit the facility. I was surprised to find that it was only a pickup/drop-off location and not the actual boarding facility. I requested a tour of the boarding location, but my request was never addressed. Two days before the scheduled boarding, after several days of trying to reach them, I finally received a text saying they could accommodate my dog on the requested new dates. However, my concerns were never acknowledged. There was no explanation for the lack of communication, no apology, and no follow-up regarding my request to visit the facility. At that point, I no longer felt comfortable leaving my dog in their care. I canceled the reservation and requested a refund of my deposit, but I never received any follow-up communication or reimbursement. A boarding service requires trust, communication, and confidence, especially when it involves the care of a pet. Unfortunately, my experience before the service even began did not provide the level of communication and reassurance I needed.
