I hate writing a negative review and would normally just let it go, but I can't in good conscience…read morerecommend this business for daycare as my life and my pups life has been completely altered after sending him here. I moved to Boston in November and decided to send my dog to daycare and boarding here as it's close by to my home. Previously my dog was in daycare for years in our other city we lived in and he absolutely loved it. Immediately upon arriving to this location it is incredibly small. I believe they take the pups on pack walks so they're not inside the whole day. It's so small inside I don't see how they even have enough room to play. I started sending my dog here on Saturdays and I noticed he would start crying when we would turn onto the block. I'd drop him off and he would have a complete meltdown and I didn't understand why, as the staff here is incredibly kind. I also had to start traveling for work, so when my pet sitter couldn't stay with him I'd send him to boarding, which they'd transport him to their Roxbury location. It was like pulling teeth to get any updates on how he was doing. They don't answer their texts sometimes for a full day. I had to beg them to finally start uploading a report card just to know how he was doing or if he was ok. The lack of communication alone should have been a big enough red flag to stop sending him here, along with the stress he seemed to be under upon drop off and pick up. In January I sent him for boarding for a work trip and a couple days after I picked him up he got incredibly sick. He ended up having to be hospitalized for a couple of days and I paid almost $10k in vet bills. They said he likely caught something from another dog. Several months later, again after a work trip he now won't let any of my dog walkers approach him with his prong collar. I don't know if maybe someone at the Roxbury location handled him aggressively with his collar, but he's 5 years old and has been wearing this collar since he was a year and a half old. We have never had issues with it until I started sending him here. I have no idea if something happened to him at that location since their communication is abysmal. A couple of days after this, I saw a Facebook thread of a woman who sent their dog here for a simple nail trim and they gave her pup back with a popped blood vessel in its eye and said they had no video footage to provide when she asked. Everyone in the comments said that a popped blood vessel in the eye is a sign of strangulation, and people started sharing their terrible experiences about this place. This would make sense why my pup doesn't want anything near his neck anymore. I'm not sure why there aren't many google reviews, but there were hundreds of comments of people sharing their unsettling stories here. On top of the financial stress this has put me under, I've also had to completely change my work schedule to walk my dog since he doesn't trust any walkers anymore. I now have him in a harness and have been doing more training with him, but I've had to cancel all of my travel for work because of this. I've never had any behavioral issues with my dog until sending him here.

Both of my dogs supposedly had the same procedures done, yet during an emergency situation when I had to travel overseas, I found out one of my dogs was missing vaccines and apparently never had a microchip registered -- even though I was told otherwise. To make matters worse, the staff could not find important records and were very unprofessional and rude when I tried to get answers. During a stressful emergency, the last thing a pet owner needs is confusion, lack of accountability, and poor customer service. I trusted this clinic for years and now I feel completely let down. Please think twice before bringing your pets here.

They do a great job keeping us updated through social media (Instagram stories) so I'm always confident he is safe, happy and having a blast. They also gave him a bath once and my goodness he smelled phenomenal for about 2 weeks! Cannot recommend Sara and her crew enough!

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.
