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.

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!)

This wasn't necessary because my dog isn't even a patient at this vet but they chose to try and help in any way that they could. I really appreciate them taking the time to advise me on my corn cob conundrum. It speaks to the care and compassion they have ever for pets who aren't their normal patients

***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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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
