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.

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!

I just have to share my absolute love for Pet Companions Bed and Biscuit Dog Care!…read more My dog has been going there for over six years, and honestly, I can't sing their praises enough. The moment I ask, "Do you want to go to school?" my dog is up and ready, heading straight for the door. It's such a joy to see her excitement as we drive down the street - she knows exactly where we're going and I can't contain her enthusiasm, bouncing from window to window. When we finally pull up, I have to brace myself because she drags me to the front door, eager to get inside. It's adorable how her whole-body wiggles like an "S" when she's excited - it never fails to make me laugh. Under the new ownership, which has been in place since 2023, Pet Companions Bed and Biscuit has only improved. The facility looks better than ever, with separate rooms for chilling out, enjoying treats, solving puzzles, and even taking nature walks with the staff. And that's just the tip of the iceberg! There's so much more for the dogs to do besides playing with their friends. They even offer grooming and cageless boarding. This place is truly amazing, and I can't recommend it highly enough. Warm regards, C. Festa

Best Friends was my last stop and should have been my first and only stop! From the moment we went in, everyone was so friendly. The facility is so nice. Your dog gets an indoor and outdoor room, access to a pool, plenty of playtime and even a social experience with the other dogs (we opted not to do that). We added on some grooming and even then the price was awesome. Very reasonable. The first night was free as a new customer too! While Cookie was there, we received photos and updates on how she was doing, and whenever my mom (the doting dog grandma, haha) would call up they would give her a status and you just knew they weren't lying - they really interacted with Cookie. I would use them again in a heartbeat and might do so soon. Lovely place and lovely animal loving employees :)

She has always been really flexible with scheduling (last-minute work from home days or a soon-to-be much more variable schedule). She always makes sure to let me know well in advance if there are days she won't be available so that I can make other accommodations. She also just goes the extra mile to let me know if there is anything "off" with my dog (or even with my apartment). She even bought a bag of my dog's favorite treats just because she happened to be at a store where they had them for a good price! I could not ask for a better care-taker for my pooch. I highly recommend Linda for any pet care.

Junior was incorrigible terrible on a leash dog aggressive we took him here & met Mike Citro the owner & trainer we were hoping for the best but honestly didn't expect much as we had brought him other places with absolutely no results. 1 on 1 training day care twice a week then classes he was a new dog. He went from tearing our arms off on the leash to being a good citizen dog Mike was like the dog whisperer for us. Now our 2nd is Dritte he went last week for a meet & greet & tonight for our 1st 1 on 1 session & between what he taught us @ meet & greet & tonight's session we've already seen results. Mike knows his stuff he basically trains us & the dog. Dritte loved class & will be @ daycare tomorrow we're gonna do same formula as with Junior except much earlier as Dritte is a little over 5 months old & Junior was 2 1/2 years old due to wasting time & money on useless trainers. I couldn't recommend Mike Citro & Bay State Canine any higher I'd give 10 stars if I could he saved our Junior & I can't wait for Dritte to learn also.
