Dog Sitters in Millbury

I called for a quote to have both my mini golden doodles groomed in the travel van. Pam answered the telephone and was not only condescending and rude she told me it would cost $160 each to groom my mini doods. I pay $93 each animal at my current groomer. Definitely shop around and avoid Pam. There’s a good chance she treats your animals the same way she talks to you on the phone. Rude condescending and disrespectful.

Had a great grooming session for my golden doodle. He cooperated very well n had been beautifully groomed by TLC Pet Haven. I would definitely go to the same place even though it is about 20+ miles drive for us...

Took my golden doodle. Yondu. for grooming and a boarding trial you can tell he’s well taken care of by the staff . They are passionate and caring for both cats and dogs I might even bring my cat there someday.

If I could give this place 100 stars I would. The flexibility alone makes it the best! My Teddy loves loves coming here. He comes for daycare and grooming and you can tell from the minute we walk in they care so much about every animal there. I am grateful to live close to them and recommend them to anyone who asks.

Our dog has been going to TLC for daycare for about a year now. Some of the nicest people I have met who always greet our dog by name when she comes in. Very convenient, very reasonable pricing. We also use their boarding services and have them give her a bath at the end, definitely an expert tip right there. At the end of last year they gave us a hilarious yearbook of all the dogs that go to TLC, it was great. If my dog could talk she'd suggest that you bring your dog to hang out with her and all her friends. Thanks for all you do TLC. Dog father of Melon-Best Eyes class of 2022

We have known TLC Pet Haven for at least twenty years! We took our Golden Retriever Beau there, our numerous cats over the years there, and our beautiful fifteen year old Othello just had his grooming this morning! They do a wonderful job! They love animals, and we are grateful for the services they provide, we wouldn't take our furbaby anywhere else!

I brought my golden doodle there yesterday for the first time. Brittany did an amazing job grooming my pup willow! Staff was incredibly friendly. Thank you! Will recommend!

Brittany comes to my home in a grooming van and is wonderful with my two small adult rescue dogs. She is very gentle even with my very nervous half Chihuahua, half Maltese. We love having her come.

I have the mobile grooming come to my place for my dog, Taylor grooms my dog and she always does a wonderful job.

Such a great place! Our pup recognizes when I pull in for grooming and gets so excited! Great prices, excellent service, and my dog loves TLC!

The turnover rate of employees is crazy here. It seems like every time they get a competent worker, they leave immediately. Which goes to show there are some serious underlying issues with management and the owner. They also seclude certain dogs and lie about it to the owners, which is absurd when you see how much clients pay for “daycare”. The owner never seems to be present and when she is, she’s rude and weirdly discusses politics. I initially loved bringing my dog here but once I learned about the lack of care and neglect, I’m glad I stopped giving this horrible place my business and hundreds of dollars.

I’ve taken my dog Polar here twice now to be groomed and they have done an amazing job both times. He always seems happy & comfortable when I come to pick him up. Definitely recommend!

My husband dropped my dog off on Sunday morning 07/15, there was a little confusion regarding the reservation and I was grateful they were able to fit him in their facility for the days we needed. While on vacation, there were no updates or images and I did send an e-mail requesting one, we ultimately looked past it thinking they must have been busy and that everything was fine. After all, the pictures were a bonus. My husband went in to pick Jackson up on Thursday afternoon (I had to leave our vacation for 1 day to go into work and the plan was to drop Jackson back at Bark N Bubbles on Friday, we just really wanted him back with us for the 1 day we were back in town) When picking him up my husband observed a rather large cut on the side of his face at which point he asked the staff how this cut happened. When questioned, the two girls at the front replied they had never noticed the cut before and it must have "just happened." This was alarming, and I called later that night (hoping to receive a different response) but received the same statement, they had no idea how or when he injured himself and it must have again... "just happened" that day. The next morning the plan was to bring Jackson back to Bark N Bubbles and rejoin our family on vacation, however at 7am I woke up to a cough coming from Jackson that can only be described as either a frog or an antique car horn. It was alarming and like nothing I had ever heard before. I looked it up and all signs pointed to kennel cough, which Jackson had been vaccinated for. We cancelled the remainder of our trip and brought Jackson into the vet right away. The vet then confirmed Jackson did in fact contract Kennel Cough despite his vaccination and that there was no way the gash on his face "just happened" they advised it was at least three days old. So not only did I not receive any communication in regards to the kennel cough going around the facility, but also did not receive any information regarding the injury to my dog. Did they just not look at him the entire time? My usually happy, healthy, energetic dog now looked sick and sad. I called Bark N Bubbles yet again to tell them Jackson had Kennel Cough.. and instead of being answered with empathy or concern for the other dogs in their care they simply said "OK". I understand they don't require the Bortadella vaccination at Bark N Bubbles, but shouldn't they be concerned for the health of their other dogs? I feel all owners should be informed if a virus is going around their boarding facility. I was understandably very upset, and I sent an e-mail similar to the review I am writing now. Today I spoke with the owner, who was defensive instead of apologetic. She said the girls who worked for her told her Jackson arrived there with the gash on his face! When I told her that was untrue, she stated she "believes her employees" I couldn't believe what I was hearing, especially when they told us when questioned it "just happened that day" Also, why would my husband ask them about the cut or why would I call that night if it was pre existing?! The owner did not believe the information I had relayed her from the vet and requested the vet's contact information - which I happily provided. Who would lie about this? The owner also advised my dog was secluded for the majority of his stay there because they had a note he was aggressive with male dogs. Something I had never heard before! Why was I not told this?! When my husband picked him up and questioned how he behaved, the staff just replied with "good". He is there with the expectation of him socializing with other dogs and if he was acting aggressively I absolutely understand the need to separate him - but I also feel like communication is required It's extremely hard to trust anyone to care for your pet, who to us is a member of our family. I don't know what has happened to Bark N Bubbles but it is clear their quality of care has drastically declined and I will never bring our dog back or recommend them as an option for boarding or day care ever again.

Good place to take your dog for grooming needs. I did call before I went there and no one ever picked up the phone. I decided to go there anyway hoping they were open and taking walk ins. Luckily they were. They were also very very busy hence the no phone answering. Either way the staff were super friendly and nice to my wife, our dog and myself. We forgot our leash and they let us use one to bring him in for a nail trim. My dog is super shy and nervous but they did an excellent job handing him. His nails looked good and the price was $20.00 which is what I was expecting it to be. I would definitely recommend getting your dogs nails clipped by them if your in the area.

Love Bark N Bubbles! Easy to schedule online, follow up reminders and the best part...my dog Benni comes back without trama, we'll groomed and happy.

I tried to book an appointment to have my 14 year old dogs hair evened out for photos we are having done prior to having to put her down next month. I explained the situation to the staff who answered the phone and she was absolutely lovely, did everything to try and help me until the owner refused to let me book an appointment because I had never brought my dog there before. The staff member apologized and said she would have loved to help me but she can’t. My dog is fully vaccinated and used to going to the groomer but because she is a “new client” the owner refused. I will never recommend this place to anyone. A groomer in the same Millbury area was happy to help out given my situation and my dog was never a client there either.

I called to book a apt for my 4 dogs a Newfondland , saint benard , And 2 Bernese mountain dogs … the women on the phone said she will not except my dogs because the are big dogs and she has never met them.. which to me is strange… my dogs are professional trained , in order to get new clients you have to meet new dogs it makes no sense to me … oh well just overall bad customer service that makes no sense!! Luckily I found another grooming saloon that gladly took my dogs with no hesitation

Bark N Bubbles is an amazing place. Kelly and her staff treat my dog like she is their own. Whether I am bringing her to get groomed, to play for the day in the daycare group, or to be boarded while I am away, I know that she is safe, well taken care of, and treated like gold. She is always so excited to be there that she literally pulls me from the parking lot into the front door. I recommend Kelly and Bark N Bubbles to anyone that I know who is looking for grooming, daycare, or boarding services. If I could give Bark N Bubbles more stars-I would!!!!!

Picked up our pup yesterday from a week long stay. She was well cared-for and happy while we were away. - & we knew because we were getting daily reports and pictures through their Facebook posts! Can't say enough about the level of service Kelly and her top notch staff provide. Most notably, Kelly saw that my 9 year old daughter was very uneasy about the idea of boarding our dog. She was very compassionate and I am grateful for her kindness towards my little girl. Pets and owners get the same exceptional level of service: the dogs are never left unattended as there is a staff member who's sole responsibility it is to monitor the dogs at all times. Someone is on site 24/7. All the staff I encountered were respectful, enthusiastic, caring and very obviously dog lovers, This was the first time boarding our dog anywhere - I was incredibly impressed and couldn't have asked for a better experience. Bark N Bubbles offers quality care for your dog and I wouldn't hesitate sending my dog there again or recommending to friends.

Going to be staying with my mom's dog for a few months and since I work I wanted to put him on the day care. Explained this situation and I was denied with no further information just because it is not a long-term situation. I did not tell her we are having a puppy of our own by August so we wanted to do the same for this puppy long-term. However, this just proves they only care about business and not having their customers happy.

Our dog Poncho loves going hiking with Chrissy and Kylee! We live in an apartment, so I wasn't sure how difficult it would be for them to pick him up, but they didn't have any issues with it. They send the CUTEST pictures and videos while they're out and about. We have also boarded with Chrissy. It was such a relief to find a daycare that does more than just leave the dogs crammed in a room. Finding Tails N Trails has been such a relief and Poncho clearly loves going.

Tails n' Trails Worcester is the best! Our dog Levi gets so excited when he puts his gear on and see's Chrissy or Maddy's car with all his friends. Off leash hikes are the perfect exercise to get his energy out and socialize with other dogs. Chrissy & Maddy are super flexible & the best when it comes to communicating and sending updates - they take such great pictures and videos. We've also utilized the overnight boarding and we feel so great knowing that Levi is being treated like one of their own. Could not recommend them enough!

Top notch all around from walking, pet sitting and training (ask for Dave, he is the dog whisperer, expert, collaborator, problem solver all around great person to hang out with). Communication is excellent, too. Highly recommend Tails and Trails! So do Daisy and Bowser. ❤️

Tails N' Trails, and specifically Christine, is so wonderful! My husband and I adopted a puppy Fall 2020 and needed help with dog walking about 2 days a week. Christine was very reassuring with any concerns we initially had about leaving our little guy. We did a meet and greet and I knew right away that we could trust Christine. Mello(our puppy) LOVES Christine and we know that he is in very good hands. I can tell that Christine treats Mello as if he was his own pup! We always get prompt and detailed updates when he arrives and leaves as well as cute photos. We would highly recommend Tails N' Trails to anyone wanting the best care for their pet!

I’ve been using Tails n’ Trails constantly since July and they are just the absolute best. Chrissy is so professional and takes the dogs on the most exciting adventures! And I’m convinced one of my dogs loves Maddie Pupka more than he loves me! 🤣 I love the pictures and commentary they share and, most importantly, I know my dogs are safe in their care! My crazy beagle Romeo comes home exhausted and happy every time he gets to go with them! Couldn’t recommend them more!

My 10 month old puppy loves her time walking, hiking, exploring and meeting lots of other dogs with Maddy. What a great service this has been for our puppy who was very afraid of other dogs. Our pup is now socialized, well exercised and happy. So glad we found this group who obviously love what they do!

We started training our dog Neptune with David about two months ago. He is clearly passionate about what he does and the animals he works with. He’s been very patient with Neptune and shown his skill not only in dog handling but teaching us as well. We really couldn’t have asked for a better trainer. So far the entire experience with Tails and Trails has been great. Very professional and most importantly, great communication. We’re looking forward to Neptune gaining the confidence he needs to go on some off leash group walks!

Tails n’ Trails is so great. Dropped off my dog for dog sitting and they took great care of her. The walkers are very professional and clearly capable of handling many dogs. She’s now excited every time I drop her off. Couldn’t recommend a better service.

Chrissy is one of the best dog walkers I have worked with and I wish I could rank this business higher than a 5. As an owner of a German Shepard, I was nervous about getting him set up with a dog walker who might not know how to handle them. Tails n' trails has been one of the best things to happen to him as Chrissy is so gifted with handling him and she genuinely cares about all the dogs that are in her care. She also made it very easy of me with logistical things like timing and her communication is impeccable so you truly have nothing to worry about and you can ensure that your pet is safe and well taken care of. She has truly been such an amazing person to work with and both me and my dog are very happy!

Chrissy is by far the best person to have take your pups for a hike. i’ve gone with many hiking companions, but i never felt a good vibe like i do with chrissy. she is patient with each dog, and understands what each one needs. she sends updates, and pictures throughout the hike. if your looking for someone you can trust with your “kids” def reach out to chrissy

This is by far the best place, not only do they LOVE the dogs, but love the dog parents too! My parents found Woof through Jim who has groomed my parents dogs for years. I got my own little girly and she now not only sees Jim, but LOVES playcare! My 8 pound menace has come out of her shell, is getting trained, and did a better job at boarding while I got married than her mom did! Special shoutout to Jim, Maria, Valdita, & Makayla!! The whole staff is the BEST!!

I wish I read the recent reviews. They need training in customer service. The person I talked to over the phone was condescending and this should not be tolerated by any customers. That is not how you treat customers even if they get upset with certain circumstances especially rescheduling last minute. Instead of apologizing, she felt the need to be righteous and tell me all grooming places do this. This is my dog's third appointment. I told her thats incorrect and she kept talking over me. Definitely she needs to consider training in customer services. I am happy to look elsewhere. There are better grooming place than this. Run away if you want reliability and pleasant services.

They are such wonderful people here. They love the dog's so much and the pups clearly love them. My Reddington is always so happy when he arrives, he loves you all so much.

Laura is AMAZING with my cat Beauty! Always does an amazing job!!! Perfect lion cut every time! Super flexible about taking her just when she needs a nail trim too! Highly recommend!!!

Our boys Oliver and Charlie absolutely LOVE coming here! The staff make them feel right at home which is so important to us as they are rescues! 11/10 recommend

I have been taking my Goldendoodle Jewel here for 5 years now for her grooming, day care, and occasional boarding. I wouldn't take my dog to any other day care. The staff here are outstanding and they do a great job caring for pets. I drive to Woof from Lancaster just so my dog can go to a daycare center that truly takes the best care of pets! Thank you Woof!

Super caring staff that takes great care of the dogs! Wonderful grooming team that does an amazing job!

I loved their location, personalities, and quality of provided services. My men got a Lion Cut. Also, I would like to mention that he would never let me cut him, I was shocked to see him well groomed and at the same time very relaxed. Thank you 💛 …

Great boarding place. My shih tzu puppy loves staying there. Staff is very caring and place is clean!

If you’re looking for reliable service DONT go here for grooming. I have been taking my dog here for about a year and a half to see groomer Morgan and have struggled to obtain reliable service. Appointments are cancelled either day of or day before always for some other excuse. This year alone (2023) she and the company followed through with 1 scheduled appointment on time. I will reiterate - if you need reliable service, do NOT make an appointment here. In perspective, if I book an appointment once a month and so far this year most of them have been canceled or rescheduled, it makes you question what appointments she will show up for.

We have been bringing our dogs (now on our third) to Gibson's for daycare and boarding for years. They love dogs and it shows - each of our has had different personalities and needs, and all - from young to geriatric - have been well cared for and happy there. Highly recommended!

Best doggy daycare around! The staff is great & so helpful. They even made up a birthday gift for our dod the week of his birthday!

Great staff and wonderful with my pup! My pup loves it at Gibson’s!! He has so much fun and can’t wait to go every week!

Do you love your pet? Of course you do! Please do not trust these untrained people at Gibson's in Grafton. We dropped our two, tail-wagging, excited & happy Border Collies off on August 27 and only one came out with us upon pick up 10 days later. The other was suffering brain trauma from the staff letting her suffer for at least 45 minutes with an epileptic seizure before getting her to her Dr. at Tufts, 10 min away. My little Ruby was hospitalized for a month and has not walked since. Please use extreme caution when boarding your loved ones here...I wish I could turn back the hands of time. Oh and by the way, Bob Gibson does not feel any responsibility for his negligence in getting her medical help right away, even though we were told that this was his procedure in case of a seizure on his watch. Buyers' Beware! And if I could have given this 0 stars I would have done so.

I love this place . Ive been taking Diego to the Worcester/Grafton st. location for over 6 years. I've never had an issue . I had him Lodge at the resort once and again no issue and honestly ....the staff and service are top notch Ive since been switching up daycare between both the Grafton & Worcester locations just to mix it up and so that my little guy Diego can feel comfortable & become familiar with all the staff and the environment provided. Bob along with the ladies @ Gibson are EPIC! THANK YOU ! You guys continue to provide epic service & my pup is a happy pup!!

My dog had a great time staying here once again. She goes to daycare here and is always SO excited to arrive. This visit we kenneled her for 12 days. She came home happy, tired, clean and silky from her exit bath. I have been kenneling my dogs with Gibson's for about 15 years and they are always wonderful.

My labs Gorham (10 y/o) and Iggy (3 y/o) have now boarded at the Grafton location on multiple occasions. When we get close to the facility, they can hardly contain their excitement. The staff are attentive and responsive, prices are reasonable and competitive, and most importantly, they don’t discriminate about specific dog breed nor do they require that your dog be fixed. Can’t recommend these guys enough!

We love Gibson’s. Our dog is always happy when we drop him off for boarding or grooming. Bob is very attentive and kind. Our sheepadoodle loves Kim the groomer. She really takes the time to make the dogs comfortable and at ease. We wouldn’t go anywhere else!

My dog loves to play at Gibson’s. I peek in the window before I pick him up and all tails are wagging!! The staff shows him so much attention and patience. They noticed some spots on him and pointed them out to me right away. He had been at another daycare and they never said a word to me . Super friendly!

We are truly grateful that we found a place that our dog Tripper absolutely loves!! He always knows where is he is going the minute we take the turn around the bend on 140. His tail starts wagging, he starts "talking" and cannot wait to get out of the car. Every person that works there Tripper greets with incredible glee and enthusiasm. Our pets are as important to us...and we want the best care possible. Tripper definitely thinks that daycare is his second home....we know that it's definitely his 2nd family!! He has been going there for the last 10 years, and I can't imagine him going anywhere else!! The staff is awesome! So friendly and caring. If Tripper gets tired from playing outside (he is an old man now!) and needs to have down time, he lets them know by going to the door and the staff lets him inside. The owners & staff have accommodated us every single time we have called-whether it be for last minute care or an end of day call asking "can he spend the night". They have never turned us away.

Thank you so much Beth the owner of Clark’s dog kennel. I was outside cutting the bushes with a weed cutter. She stopped and asked me if I wanted to use her electric bush trimmer. I have never met this lady before in my life. Nor is she ever met me. I wish there were more neighbors like this. She is a wonderful person.Not many people like her in the world! I’m happy she stopped. Thank you for your kindness!😊

I'm so grateful for Clark's Dog Kennel! My dog is reactive toward strangers. They let me drop her off/pick her up from the outdoor run myself, which is a huge relief. Boarding options are limited when you have a reactive dog. I'm so glad I found them!

Bad experience! We have two dogs, one a puppy. They don't accept credit only cash. So I had to give $800 up front. First warning sign. Puppy had intestinal parasites and was treated but just before leaving on our trip had tested positive. I notified them ASAP that he needed more meds but it could take 2 weeks to fix but we were leaving on vacation before he could get tested again since we had to leave. They also wanted both dogs tested again, it costs $200 for each set of tests. The adult had no parasites. So it was going to cost me another $200, and no guarantee the puppy would pass since the treatment would not be completed in time. If he failed I would have no place to kennel him before we left since it was last minute. So I had to cancel my reservation to find another kennel which didn't require testing. I requested a refund since I was following there requirements and I couldn't take a chance of not having a place to put my dogs. They refused to give a refund since it was 10 days before boarding and they wanted 14 days notice. I asked the owner to call me so we can discuss but she never called me. So I am out $1000 because the owner doesn't care about her customers, only getting the money. I was planning on boarding them there for all future trips but i will never use them again. Zero star rating!!!!!

Our puppy, Broly, just started coming here a month ago. He's a crazy boy but they knew exactly what to do to handle him. They understood his breed's needs and characteristics. They also use positive behavior reinforcement with him (which we also use at home with him). It's great to know they're carrying that over during his daycare days. We are extremely grateful that he has a great daycare that we trust with him. We know he's a handful at times so we appreciate how hard they work with him.

Hayley and Beth went above and beyond for our dogs first stay! Definitely made traveling away from home less stressful. Thanks so much for the attentive care.

Jessie loves going to daycare here. He has such a great time with all his pack. And sleeps very well when he gets home. Highly recommended daycare/kennel. They also have so much land to run around on.

My dog gets groomed here by Sean and he does an amazing job! I get so many compliments on his haircut and he always smells so good after!

Our energetic year old loves Clarks. We board her there and she goes to day care one day per week for socialization. The staff is caring and attentive. We love the daily pictures posted of play time.

Highly recommend Bob's doggie day care. His kindness, understanding and love of dogs have been a lifesaver for me and my overly active fun loving pup....she loves it there! Very reasonable, convenient payment options.

I promise you there is no one better/more affordable for the amount of information you receive. Could not be happier to find Bob Clark in my town. We used him 4 years ago for our older dog , and now again for our new puppy. In the 4 years we hadn’t seen him, I must have dropped his name about 50 times because he’s THAT good. Don’t look elsewhere- this is your guy/trainer/daycare - Thanks Bob!
