Nervously pulling up to Home Away From Home, I sat in the car with my dog, Rusty, so scared how my…read moredog son would do with Lizz. I got out of the car, brought Rusty with me, and all I had to do was see the smile on Lizz'a face when she saw Rusty and I. Everything melted away. She took Rusty and I in the back where he smelled EVERYTHING. Lizz could tell I was relieved of any tenacious nerves that I had. We stayed in the back yard and her husband brought out their dog, Zajka. She was so great to my Rusty! I've never ever felt more comfortable and connected with dog people before. The inside of the home is clean as well! Rusty still smelled out the whole place. (He's a Bloodhound) He had a look of peace on his face. I couldn't be happier. After talking for what seemed to be 2 hours of laughing and fun, I would absolutely suggest Home Away From Home. Not only for my Rusty, but for your fur child, too!!! Much love!!!

My puppy went here for almost 5 months, just about every day. After going to 7 trainers, I brought…read moremy dog here and within 3 days my dog behaved a lot better. I thought the owner must have the magic touch. I WAS VERY WRONG. On August 20th, I was asked to meet another pet parent. I was in the daycare that early morning, with CJ the owner and a few other dogs including my own. CJ retrieved a drop off mixed breed dog from outside and CJ's attitude and personality completely changed before my eyes. This 70 pound mixed breed, was treated horribly (not going to go into nasty details, as CJ's behavior was totally unacceptable). The dog got yelled at outside, inside and when I confronted CJ, I was told not to get involved by CJ since I didn't see what this dog did the day before. Regardless of what a dog did the day before, the dog has no idea why you are treating him so poorly, the following day. CJ told the dog to sit, in a screaming manner. He then left the room. The dog got up and CJ took a mop and swung it over her head as hard as he could against the wall. The mop didn't touch the dog, it was a scare tactic. CJ was so quick to pick up that mop, you can tell this wasn't his first time using this method of getting a dog to listen to him. I immediately took my 9 month old pup out of that daycare and filed a complaint with Lowell Animal Control and MSPCA. I was told by the investigator, 2 other complaints were filed during an 8 day time frame. If CJ treats a dog so poorly in front of customer, imagine what goes on when the pet parent is not around. Close this place down and take your dogs out of there. Reason for delay in review = I was directed to hold off on posting any review until the investigations were closed.

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 was happy to see her on the video camera while in group play, but very sad to see the person sitting down the whole time, with a different dog on her lap and her cellphone in her hand. There was absolutely no human interaction, to a puppy who was trying to approach her and get some attention. That weekend she got groomed by Abigail who I will say is a fantastic groomer. HOWEVER, I specifically asked they give my dog the food and treats I provided bc the dog has a sensitive stomach. Had I not asked for the containers back, I would not have known that they didn't give her any of the food I provided. My dog had diarrhea for 3 days. I also noticed that she was limping and afraid of putting her harness on. The limping became progressively worse where she was unable to walk. Took her to the vet, she had a cut on top of paw and was put on antibiotics, a $500 vet bill. I called them to report it, was told they would get back to me, that perhaps they could help cover some of the vet cost, and of course, no one ever followed up. I understand things can happen, but I left countless messages. I wanted to speak to management to ensure that something like this would never happen again. So a few weeks ago, I decided to call and try to speak to the groomer before trying the place again. She assured me she would be extra careful with the paws. I requested they give my dog ONLY the food I would provide. And of course, when I picked her up, I asked for my containers and ALL THE FOOD and ALL THE TREATS I had packed were still in the containers!! If it were not for the location and the convenience when in a pinch, I would never set foot in this place again. They really don't Give. A. _____ about you or your pet.
