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.

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!

My boyfriend and I first contacted Fresh Trails Pet Sitting in February concerning a planned…read morevacation we're taking in May. We have two young rescue dogs, one of which was horribly abused and is thus very shy and afraid of people and takes a long time to warm up to anyone. We wanted to schedule several visits over the course of Feb-May to be sure our dogs would be comfortable with their caretaker while we were away. We met with the owner, and then with a caretaker, which seemed to go well. Then when we tried to schedule another visit, we got put off and put off multiple times over weeks with various excuses ranging from weather to injury and no callbacks, we always had to initiate communication. After several weeks of this treatment, we were informed by the owner that our dogs were too high maintenance and that Fresh Trails was not willing to work with us. Let me say, for the record, that I totally understand rescue dogs being difficult to work with, especially one who was as abused as our poor girl was. I do not fault Fresh Trails at all for declining to work with a dog with issues of that nature. Where I do find fault is with the incredibly unprofessional way we were treated, especially as Fresh Trails was well aware of our time constraints and our desire to give our girls plenty of time to get used to their caretaker. It should not have taken 2 months to come to the decision that our girls were too challenging, especially when several weeks had elapsed since the last visit.

Our cats are always very clearly cared for by Kim- when we return they are relaxed and calm, not anxious or worried. I feel that pet sitting requires a very special person, and Kim is that person.
