I have boarded dogs at several places over the years. There aren't many that I would recommend, but…read moreCamp Bridlewood is different. My experience has been that the place is well run, the animals are well cared for, scheduling is easy and my dog is as excited to go there as he is when I pick him up. I've actually been traveling more because I am confident that he enjoys his "vacations" as much as I enjoy mine.

However, all my anxieties faded away when I arrived and talked with Dale. She showed dogs for many years and now boards dogs in her former show kennel - which is the lower story of her house. This is a person who loves dogs and has vast experience with them. I can't imagine a better place for a safe and happy "camp" experience for your pet. Thank you Dale and all the staff at Camp Bridlewood! (P.S. I forgot to bring home Winnie's bowl and without asking, Dale wrapped it up and mailed it home to me - the frosting on the cake!)

***WARNING*** Please if you have pets that go to Muddy…read moreCreek PLEASE consider going somewhere else. Muddy Creek, specifically Dr. Leibert, misdiagnosed and mistreated my little Maxwell. You are just a number there and the care is not there. Dr. Leibert couldn't figure out that Maxwell had pneumonia even though he had the blood work, X-rays, and every symptom that SHOWED he had it. Yet, hundreds and hundreds of dollars spent for Muddy Creek to be perplexed on what was wrong with him and be told there is nothing more they could do you'll have to make an appt with internal medicine. I know this because we got a second opinion and the vet knew right away after looking at Muddy Creeks records, blood work and xrays and symptoms that he had pneumonia. Unfortunately, likely due to the poor care at Muddy Creek Maxwell passed away May 4th. I write to you all not to be vindictive but to provide insight and my experience with Muddy Creek and to prevent another family and animal from going through what my family.

Today I had my large long haired German shepherd named Nike groomed at the muddy paws salon…read more And I'm going to be honest he was due for a grooming a long time ago, he was going to be a lot of work. I have to say those Girls did the most amazing job on Nike, he was a full day groom. And I'm sure gross at times! I had mentioned when I dropped him off that I wanted to book 8 weeks out that way I won't have to wait so long again. She had it booked for me already. ( probably a good hint not to let him go so long). I appreciate them and there patience

Well, the bees are gone and I'm happy to have Regina home. I can't tell you how much I appreciate Alissa helping me out, and she always takes good care of Reggie. I have been taking my cats to her off and on for at least 11 years, maybe more, starting when she was a partner in SoHo Cats and then now at her own place AstroCats. My cat loves it there.

Astrocats is basically feline heaven: clean with cute individual condos; thoughtfully designed to meet any "guest's" desire to mingle, play, or enjoy a quiet nap; and just plain adorable with funky space-age design, decor, and toys in every cat-friendly nook and cranny. It's clear a lot of love and personal attention goes into this business and those lucky enough to be staying there. We also couldn't get enough of Alissa's awesome Instagram updates throughout the week! (Her posts deserve a much bigger audience--check 'em out even if your cat isn't a current guest.) We'll definitely bring our kitty there the next time we go away.

As soon as we pull into the parking lot, one starts barking excitedly and lunges toward the door when I take her out of the car. When we go through the entrance, they run over to the great folks that work there, tails wagging like crazy. It didn't use to be this way...One of my dogs (the lunger) had a bad experience with boarding elsewhere, and it took a few years before she stopped displaying extremely anxious behavior when left in other people's care, even in a new place. She's quirky and often misunderstood, but the folks at BF were patient and brought her back out of her shell. Now she can't get enough time there! We have been coming to BF Boxford for at least 5 years now, and it's wonderful knowing that we can go away and our beloved dogs will be in great hands. The people working there appear to really love animals, which, IMHO, is the most important quality to look for in a boarder. The grooming is awesome too!

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!!

A fantastic service. Had them come to our house to watch our 3 cats while we were away on vacation…read more Even though we had food specifications they did all that we asked. Fed cats 2x a day, cleaned out cat boxes, played with them, cleaned up any messes, provided an update with every visit including pictures.

It is my belief that some days they are way understaffed and the new staff there is still not totally trained in taking care of dogs to prevent dog bites and attacks. The stereo was blaring one day when I went to pick up my dog! Dogs hate loud music! There were 2 incidents already in November and December 2023. My dog went there for 5 years and started as a puppy. She got bit by another dog 2 weeks in the ear which need surgery! :( The owner NEVER reached out to me to see how my dog was doing? He also never helped with my $ 800 vet bills either. So much for caring about the dogs! What a joke! That's really sad :( I should have taken my dog out of there like many already did after the 1st major dog attack in November
