    My dog loves hanging outside in the giant tire!
    Sam S.

    I've been bringing my dog to Riverdog since I adopted her 3 years ago; first at their Union Square location in Somerville, and now in Peabody after I moved. I am a huge animal and dog person, but I feel like the staff have me beat. They are always so kind and upbeat, clearly love the dogs, and do such a great job. It's evident they really get to know the dogs and are knowledgable in training and dog behavior. To boot, very fair pricing, and they offer a shuttle service, which makes my life a lot easier. I pay a little extra for the added service just to keep going to them because I trust them, my dog seems to really like them, and I love how big the facility is - and with indoor and fenced in outdoor space, obstacles, couches for the dogs. I've never had an issue, and given how excited my dog is to see the employees who pick her up, and how sleepy she is when she gets home, I think she approves too. Highly recommend!

    5 days at Riverdog, so many steps!

    We have used river dog for our German Shepherd on four occasions. I'm happy to report that each and every time she comes back happy healthy and tired. I'm writing this review mostly so I can post these two photos. One shows a normal week with us where she gets about 7000 steps a day, and the second shows a week of her steps at RiverDog where she gets about 15,000 steps per day. They clearly take great care of her and I can tell by her step count how much fun she has playing there. They always answer the phone and correspond quickly via email.

    Amazing experience, brought my dog in for the evaluation. The process they have in place really seems to set your pup up for success.

    The site manager obviously doesn't communicate efficiently with his team . There is no honest communication between the staff and customers

    An update of my review from (gulp) 10 years ago! Patty at The Cat's Pajamas Inn continues to be a…read morelifesaver. I can't imagine how we would have managed juggling our cat and our travel schedule all these years without her. Our guy, Tank, has spent many nights happily ensconced at The Cat's Pajamas where he enjoys spying on the comings and goings from the privacy of his own condo. Yes, we could leave him at home with a cat sitter popping by once or twice daily, but our dude is very social and gets lonely easily. Plus, he is a bit high-maintenance and Patty doesn't bat an eye at his extreme neediness. (LOL) Bottom line: Patty is a total pro. She is caring, considerate, and communicative. She keeps a close eye on her charges and intuits exactly what they need. I just can't say enough good things about her. If you want the best place possible to board your beloved cat, look no further.

    Cat's Pajamas Inn is such a wonderful place to book your kitty in for a stay when you need to be…read moreaway. Not only is it a very clean and calm environment, it is so clear that Patty cares for each cat and their needs. Their "condos" have levels for them to explore, each with their own box, and privacy curtains for cats who need more time to adjust to the space. Patty sends an email the day after drop off and throughout their stay to let you know how your cat is adjusting and eating. We all know how hard it can be to have to leave your cat and take them out of the comfort of their home. Knowing how well cared for they are with Patty makes doing so much easier. I could not recommend Cat's Pajamas Inn more highly!

    To "North Shore Dog", Thank you so much to the owner and staff that works there. I work with a dog…read morerescue as a foster parent and was in need of boarding for one of my foster dogs. We went with North Shore Dog, because I didn't want our foster to be placed in a kennel all day like other boarding places do, with little to no interaction. The staff here took great care of him as he had so much fun playing and interacting with other dogs and staff members, this I know from what I seen on the live web cames offered. He was able to spend all day with other dogs, learning how to play, interact, and follow a routine schedule offered at this facility. This structure is very good especially for a foster dog who is learning to trust, and become more confident to be adopted. Thank you once again, and you can see how happy you made this sweet guy.

    The owner has an attitude, and that is why her staff is rude. I just boarded my dog there for 5…read moredays. She is a boxer breed, and I have found that the staff is vastly uneducated on Bully breeds. They keep trying to change her natural instinct due to there lack of education. It was frustrating to pick her up and here that the stuff was being hard on my dog when the way she plays is natural. I also have a major problem with the way they treat POST PANDEMIC DOGS. Most of the puppies born through COVID have high separation anxiety and the hotel doesn't really care if the owner has needs for the pet I was told to fill out my dogs medication chart before boarding which I did in full, and when I picked up my dog from boarding all of her medication, treats, and toys , had not been used at all. She was returned with the wrong dog bowls, and the owners were rude when asked to return them. I was told to not bring dog bowls for boarding . However I expressed my dog is post pandemic and suffers from anxiety so the idea of eating out of a bowl not her own she doesn't do. So I labeled the bowls and was told on DROPOFF it was fine. However on pick up day - they were lost ( they gave me two random bowls) and proceed to tell me to not bring bowls for the future I am disappointed in this place because I had faith with some of the employees but overall 4 employees have been rude , and when I met the owner today, she was rude to me 5 seconds into convo. If the owner is rude to customers , then so won't her staff be.
