Pet Sitters in Fitchburg

I am so glad I found Fur-Sure! Pet Sitting to care for our two kitties. Brenda provided reliable care to our pets while we were away on a couple trips this summer. She took the time to meet our kitties in advance of the first trip which was helpful so she could get to know their home environment and habits. Our kitties are indoor/outdoor, so in the past my biggest worry when going away was that they might escape out the door…one of them has proven in the past to be a master escape artist. Brenda took extra care when entering and leaving. In addition to feeding them and cleaning the litter boxes, Brenda spent time with the kitties each day petting and brushing them. She also accommodated the daily habit of one of our kitties who likes to drink directly from a faucet. She also helped with keeping our dehumidifier emptied, taking in mail and packages, and taking apart and cleaning the kitties’ water fountain. Daily text updates and pictures were provided which were greatly appreciated. It’s interesting to see how your pets behave when you are not home. My two kitties have their own self-designated territories in the house, but when we were gone, they switched. On a recent trip, one of our cats suffered a tail injury several days prior to our departure. It was still in the healing process when we departed so Brenda kept a close eye on this for us and provided a daily assessment of how it looked and how he was responding. She made us aware right away about a reversal in the course of healing that required medical attention, so we were able to come home and attend to him. I highly recommend Brenda at Fur-Sure! Pet Sitting for your pet care needs. You will be able to enjoy your time away from home with confidence that your beloved pets are receiving exceptional care and attention.

I’m so thrilled to have found Brenda! She is incredibly warm, caring, and so obviously devoted to animals. If your pet is lucky enough to meet her and be cared for by her, they are the happier for spending time with her! She is so organized, professional, and attentive, I am so grateful to have connected with such a great person! If you need a loving sitter, Brenda will be there for you - and your beloved fur babies!

I’ve used Fur Sure for last few years. Both pet sitting and walking. Been very pleased with Brenda’s care and professionalism. I have complete confidence my dog is safe and well cared for. Tanner looks forward to seeing his friend Salty.

Fur Sure! Is a “diamond in the ruff”! Brenda and her husband are kind and loving people who truly enjoy the company of pets. Brenda treats our German Shepherd as her own, with attention and tender loving care that goes way beyond any typical boarding or pet sitting. It is obvious in the pictures and “daily update” she sends us that our Brady is quite happy at his “home away from home”! Brenda provides ample room inside (cleaned and disinfected) and outside (protected fenced area) for pet comfort and play time She provides daily walks and play, administers any required medications, and most of all, gives genuine affection to our dog. Thank you Brenda, you are a blessing!

Finding FUR SURE ( Brenda ) was like hitting the lottery for me and my little guy. I had been searching for someone to watch my dog for the Christmas holiday . But to no avail on ROVER or many other sites. I was at my wits end. Suddenly Brenda’s website popped up. What a find. I emailed her right away. She got to me shortly after . We talked about the situation and decided to do a meet and greet. It was absolutely the perfect , beautiful , clean place for my guy . It is like a haven for any dog. Big or small. There are great fenced in areas and trails for walking. Brenda loves to walk. Depending on the elements of course. The love and care she gives is amazing . She goes way out of her way to make sure your dog is safe and secure and comfortable. I would recommend her to anyone . She is definitely my new best dog sitter.

Brenda at Fur Sure Petsitting was beyond amazing! Especially with the amount of visits I requested. My husband and I both work from home so leaving my older pup and older kitty for 10 days worried me very much. I wanted 4 daily visits and Brenda went above and beyond making sure my fur babies were well cared for. She even helped to take care of a wound on my pups cheek. I could tell my animals were not stressed or anxious as we have a puppy cam and i would check in on them frequently. Having peace of mind to attend my sons wedding and a vacation after was priceless. I didn't worry once and if you knew me, it's extremely rare to not worry. My husband and I highly recommend Brenda to anyone looking for quality pet sitting. Brenda is super friendly and put up with me checking in. We will most definitely use her services again and again!

Brenda’s Fur Sure Pet Sitting services come highly recommended! I found out about this through a Google search and Brenda got back to me shortly after reaching out. She came by the house to meet me and our cat, Mushu, and she gravitated towards Brenda right away! We needed a pet sitter to come feed and play with Mushu, and since we were traveling internationally we wanted to make sure Mush would have exactly the type of care and attention needed. Brenda was great about checking in regularly, letting me know when she was headed to our house, and she sent plenty of photos throughout the week which was very reassuring! We had plenty of peace of mind while away, and came home to a happy and playful Mush. We will definitely be calling on Brenda’s Fur Sure Pet Sitting services in the future!

Fur Sure Pet Sitting Service is a home away from home for our golden retriever. He gets personalized care in a safe and warm environment. He looks forward to his stay and we feel comforted knowing he is safe and happy while we are away.

We left our dogs with Brenda for 10 days, this was our first time ever leaving them with anybody other than family so I was nervous, but they were in great hands with Brenda. We got lots of pictures and an update everyday which definitely eased my worries. They seemed to have a great time playing with her dog Salty all day and came home tired and happy. Will definitely be booking with her again!

We met with Brenda twice before having her watch our two 5 year old pups for 10 days! She is very thorough, very accommodating, and takes the time to get to know you and your pups before watching/ sitting them. Gave us updates and treated them like her own! Would recommend her to anybody!

We love Preppy Pets. The new owners are fantastic and had already been there working in the business before the transition. They have always been very responsive and always called or emailed if there was a concern or problem. They have always taken great care of our dog, in both daycare and boarding.

There are amazing with my dog. She loves going back and is always excited when we pull into the parking lot.

I bring both of my dogs here, and they love it. They've got a larger boarding area, so both can stay together. I've brought my older dog somewhere else. She got nervous, and started missing me. When I got her, I could tell she had lost weight. Here she seems to be happy, and hasn't really acted to odd about going here. She actually seems kinda glad to go here and not somewhere else. This is the only place where I've brought the younger one. He's only been twice, but was pulling me to get in the boarding area sooner. I'd definitely recommend.

They carry some really good quality dog food and treats here. We've also boarded one of our dogs with them, and they are SO loving towards dogs there. I always felt like our lab probably didn't want to come home from her times spent there.

Needs to update website that they are NOT taking new pets. Such a shame cant help but wonder if my pup was denied because he suffers from epilepsy and is on medication. He really is such a great puppy. Staff was unhelpful in letting me know if there was even a waitlist… truly disappointing

Great little shop. I have been in here twice, but never did daycare or boarding with them. Their prices are very fair. I usually come to buy chews and treats for my puppy. They sometimes have vendors and samples in for you to talk to and try their products.

They took care of our special needs cat while we were out of the country for almost two weeks. She bounced back right away after wr took her home which we know is because of the love and care she got at preppy pet. The staff is great, patient and clearly love their jobs. And to top everything off, the prices are unbeatable. I would give 6 stars if I could. This will definitely be our go to place in the future.

We love Preppy Pet. They take great care of our dog while we are out of town. She's always excited to be there!

Awesome personal and Great Service... No problems at all and our dog love it... highly Recommend

I was very pleased when I brought my stubborn French Bulldog to get his nails cut. My frenchie absolutely hates nail trimmings, and the staff did an amazing job and was able to cut all his nails (clean cuts by the way)! I will definitely be coming back here!

Toby and Bradley basically try knocking down the door to get into Lakefront Dog Retreat on the days they go! We have had the best experience and everyone is always so wonderful and caring towards our pups. I know they are in great hands and are completely exhausted from all the fun at the end of each day. Thank you all for taking care of our fur babies! *2 photos show proof of the after daycare exhaustion.

Lakefront Dog Retreat has been an absolute blessing for us during a difficult time. After the loss of our beloved older dog, we wanted to provide some comfort and companionship for our younger pup. Upon discovering Lakefront Dog Retreat, it was clear that this was the perfect place for him. The caring and compassionate staff ensured that he received the love and attention he needed to overcome any heartbreak or PTSD. We are forever grateful to Lakefront Dog Retreat for their incredible service and support during this challenging period.

This is the best retreat my pup has been coming here since he was 6 months old, he 5 now, everyone is friendly, professional, they all get to your dog and personality, loves your dog like their own, always honest and trustworthy, and they throw great birthday pawrties! For your pup, everyone celebrates! So fun , there's a great play yard outside and in the summertime if your dog swims they will take your dog over across the street to the lake to go swimming that's an exciting day for your dog! 10 stars for lakefront dog retreat!

It's such a beautiful facility and my dog loves going there! They really take care of you pet and their needs. The staff is knowledgeable and take the time to pamper and love on your dog. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a nice, clean, responsible place to leave your dog for a day or for a week! They also offer grooming and training with well qualified staff. You can tell that everyone there cares for your pet and are very engaged and attentive! My dog has so much fun when she goes there that she doesn't want to leave!

I signed my puppy up for doggy daycare here just a couple of months ago. It seemed expensive at the time, but she is a lab puppy (6 months old and quite destructive). I couldn't crate her for more than a couple of hours so I had no other choice but to find somewhere for her to play when I was at work. Now, I would never go anywhere else. Slightly more expensive than some of the other options, but worth every penny. I dragged Dakota in the first day... And she has bounded through the door every day since. The owner is caring, responsive, and always greets you with a smile. She and her staff love dogs and it shows in everything they do. There's a birthday party for someone almost every week 😂. I highly recommend lakeside dog retreat.

This place is very good if you're looking for a commercial daycare or kennel experience and the owners are nice people who seem to enjoy working with dogs. When I brought my dogs, I personally was not impressed by the facility itself. It felt cold both physically and emotionally, although the owner Lena was extremely kind. I agree with the other reviewer who said that they do seem to have a large quantity of dogs, but I can not speak for the level of care as we were advised that due to being first time boarders, a commercial boarding facility may not be the best fit for me as an owner, or my dogs. Lena went out of her way to provide me with numbers and contacts for other facilities, which was nice and something she certainly did not have to do. The dogs that were leaving seemed to be in good spirits and exhausted, which was nice to see. The prices are very reasonable.

This place is amazing. Took my two dogs for a couple weeks while we were moving and they came home exhausted and happy! Professional and attentive staff, accommodating to schedule changes. They have a beautiful clean facility with an easy booking process, and post pictures frequently on Facebook. Will be returning again and again!

The staff are amazing and so attentive to each and every dog. My boy LOVES going and always comes home nice and tuckered out! I highly recommend this place!

My dog loves coming here! She is super shy but sending her here has really helped bring her out of her shell. Wonderful place and great staff!

Love this place and so does my pup. No anxiety when he gets there...just his tail wagging at full speed. He can't wait to go back!

Gina was fantastic! My cats were much happier and calm at home with Gina checking in on them than being boarded. She also kept an eye on my home so I felt at ease, and all my plants survived because she watered them. Worth every penny!

Very confident in using Gina’s service. Taken great care of my two littles whenever we needed them. Highly flexible and accommodating great photos of my pups for me to enjoy too

Gina is one of the most trustworthy people I know, very knowledgeable and equipped to handle any issues that may arise. You can always count on her to be timely, communicate any changes in behavior or physical wellness of the little (or big!) ones in your home!

I adore Gina’s pet sitting! They treat my baby as if he was theirs! Great easy app and I love the staff !!! Tara is amazing! My pictures I get also make my day! Thank you all!!

Finally! A pet sitting service that removes the worries and concerns of having to leave your pets at home alone! Very professional, attentive and caring, follows instructions left perfectly and dependable. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Excellent personalized service. Gina visited ahead of time to determine how best to work with my dogs, one which is a bit difficult.

Aby does such a great job with my dog her space is relaxing and fully stocked so glad I found her.

I highly recommend Red pony farm for anyone! Great affordable day care and boarding. Ike was very nice and welcoming to me and my pup. He spent 3 hours letting my dog get acclimated to the house and yard slowly introducing puppy friends so they could get to know each other. I had left my pup for her first day of doggy day care and was very pleased how happy she was after spending the day at red pony farm. Thank you Ike and Martha you have a wonderful farm and a great place for people who need help with dogs!

We found Red Pony Farm this year, and couldn’t be more grateful! Our girls have a great time being free and happy on the farm, and we have the most peace of mind knowing they are safe and cared for. I love the off leash run & explore, our girls come home exhausted and happy! Thank you Ike & Martha!

Ike and Martha are kind souls and caring people. They’ve been caring for our 2 year old aussie Daisy on weeklong and weekend trips for the past year, and we couldn’t be more grateful. She loves her time at Red Pony Farm.

Ike and Red Pony Farm are the best. My dogs have actively liked being there and I always feel like they are loved when they are there.

Ike is great with animals and my dog loves coming here. We have been going for two years now. Only issue is sometimes we can't get hold of someone once there and have to leave and go home.

Extremely rude! I've never boarded my dog before so I called to get information and express I was interested in boarding him there and this guy couldn't be bothered. Apparently business is that good that he doesn't "want anymore business anyway" if he treats potential customers this way I can only imagine how he treats the dogs.

Frodo loves coming here. He loves to socialize with people and other animals so this is the best place around for him. Ike is very sweet and great with animals. I highly recommend.

My dog comes home from there very tired which I take to mean that she has had a good time. I love that she can run outside with other dogs. Occasionally, they post pictures of the dogs which is always reassuring.

It's like camp for dogs! Our dog loves it here!

Our dog loves staying at Red Pony Farm

We are from out of state and boarded our dogs for a night. They were so kind and took great care of our dogs! There was some miscommunication between my spouse and I during drop off and the man who I spoke with was so helpful. He was understanding and reasoned with me. Great customer service!

My family and I have 3 dogs from Richard’s ages 7 (Shihpoo), 10 (Cockapoo), and 14 (Lhasapoo). They are the best dogs and very healthy. Pictured is my shihpoo Jovie - she is an ESA and the sweetest girl!

Our first pup was a miniature poodle over 24 years ago. Great disposition, smart and was a friend for 19 years . Eight months ago we returned to Richard's and brought home a female Shihpoo. As empty-nesters we needed her as much as she needed us. Such a wonderful addition...another terrific friend from Richards .

Excellent service. Excellent people. If you love your dog but need to leave them for a while this is the place to send them.

Got my pup here and he's amazing. Great experience overall

I have bought several puppies from Richard’s Kennel over the past ten years. They have all been outstanding Pets, great dispositions, healthy. I’m picking up my third puppy next week and I’m so excited. I would never deal with another breeder

I love this place. My dog is treated very well and is cared for by the staff. He always has fun. I had to change my pickup time due to personal reasons and they were very flexible. The prices are also great. I got my dog groomed and he looked awesome when we picked him up.

That is our pup Toby with the blue bandana that we got from Richards almost 15 years ago, he was the sweetest most beautiful puppy ever, we just purchased another one and cannot wait to get him. I highly recommend this breed. Toby was patient, sweet, playful, loving, smart and loved everyone. Not once did this dog ever bite or nip anyone, truly an amazing pup. We have referred many people to Richards. We wouldn’t buy a pup anywhere else !!!!

Love how well they take care of my boy Ollie he won’t go anywhere else. They always groom him to perfection.

We not only acquired the best companion every from Richard's, but we also use them for his grooming and care. Even after 10 years we have never been disappointed in the facility, service or awesome care. We recommend every aspect of Richard's Kennel and know we will continue to use them for the life of this pet and will use them for our next!

Wonderful staff, kind and great with my dog. My dog loves it here he goes a few times a week. He comes home tired and happy. You can tell they love animals, separated by who gets a long with who instead of size which has been an issue for us at other daycares.

We love this place! My golden retriever Ruby is always ecstatic when we pull up into their drive way for boarding. The owner is thoughtful and cares so much about the dogs. They have plenty of space in their rooms to hang out in. I know she gets plenty of exercise and social time while she is there because she is so tired the next day. I couldn’t recommend this place enough.

We love Plesant Kennels! On our 4th year of boarding our dog here and have had nothing short of a great experience. I love the flexibility with pickup and drop off and our dog is always well cared for. Definitely would recommend them!

Our 6 mo old lab puppy spent a few nights boarding at Pleasant Kennels. It was her first time away from us, so I was a little nervous about leaving her. Taryn was awesome & sent me texts & pics to let me know my puppy was doing well. She played with other dogs & went on a hike, both of which she loves. She was a tired & happy pup when we picked her up. We will definitely board her here again when needed. Highly recommend.

Left my dogs here for a quick weekend getaway. Picked them up and they were happy as larks! Great clean facility, incredibly nice and personable owner. My two medium sized dogs shared a large indoor/outdoor kennel with large bed. They got exercise time in the fenced in backyard and got to play with other boarders. I’ll definitely be back! Accepted payment was either cash or check at my time of booking. Not an issue at all :)

Our dog Stella loves this kennel! The facility is nice and always very clean. The dogs are given plenty of room to run and play. Taryn makes sure your dog is comfortable and not missing home too much. She went above and beyond by giving out Christmas stockings with goodies for the dogs over Christmas break. Definitely our favorite kennel by far! Thank you Taryn!

I love this kennel and so does my dog Lilly. She is so incredibly excited every time we pull in to the lot. She loves running around and making new friends!! She rests very well after a day here. Taryn is so friendly and caring. I have no worries leaving Lilly with her!!

Had a family emergency out of state a few months back and Taryn was able to board my two goldens for a couple of days on very little notice. They are doing alot of great work there and expanding as well. When you board yout dogs they have nice add ons to make thier stay a little more....pleasant. Like trail walks, and games. As I understand there will also be grooming here in the future too.

Taryn does a truly amazing job with the dogs and is so thoughtful and caring with each one. We have boarded our dog a couple of times with Taryn and our dog absolutely loves going to Pleasant Kennels. We highly recommend Taryn and Pleasant Kennels.

Incredibly friendly and helpful, they talked to me extensively about other kennels in the area that they know and would recommend, given they weren't able to take my dog for me on the short notice i needed. It was wonderful to be able to speak with someone from the industry and to have them give advice as a pet owner.

The owner is absolutely fantastic to work with. She is so attentive and caring to all dogs and treats them like her own. We couldn’t recommend enough!

The Bark & Call Inn has been a wonderful experience for myself and my Golden Retriever Oliver. Upon arriving Oliver becomes very happy and excited each time. I know he is safe and being well cared for!!

Rebecca, at The Bark & Call Inn, treated my two huskies as if they were her own. She made special accomodations for their specific issues, one needing much medical care and the other with anxiety. She is trustworthy, dependable, highly skilled and goes above and beyond any expectations. Rebecca is the only person I trust my dogs with because I know they will be safe, well-cared for, and be in a loving home. She is an amazing woman who will provide your pet with the very best care possible.

When we pull up Jack gets excited to go to B&C Inn again. You know it's a great place when your dog wants to go there!

Great place for your dog to go on vacation. Owner is very attentive to detail.

A very special spot. The owner provides much love and attention. My dog adores going there!

They are fantastic and always responded to questions

Great place to bring your pup

Our lab loves going here!

They were fantastic in accommodating us on short notice, and our dog had a wonderful time. Every staff member I met was super friendly and I could tell had such a passion for dogs. My dog had a wonderful time and was excited to spend his time there. I loved the photo updates each day which certainly showed my dog's enthusiasm!

Recently left my elderly dog and my 5 year old doodle. The doodle is highly allergic and takes daily meds to keep him from breaking out in hives. He’d also recently had a mystery injury on his foot that he was taking medication for. I was quite nervous dropping them off without ever having used PinkDog before. I had no need to be. When I picked them up after 5 days they were happy and healthy. The employee immediately knew my dogs and informed me that the foot was healing nicely. It was obvious they had handled the medication well and taken wonderful care of my boys. I really appreciate them! Will definitely use them again with confidence.

I picked up our pups after their grooming appointments and they were the cleanest, softest, fluffiest, and best smelling they have ever been! We’ve found our new groomer!!

Very warm and friendly environment and our dog Bones had a very happy stay his 2nd time around, they did a great job integrating him with dogs of his liking and energy level. Very clean too! Nice spot, see y'all over the summer!

Last week I left my 2 dog there for 5 days , while I went on a trip to Florida. When I went to pick my dogs up 5 days later they were so happy there and they told us they had a lot fun there and ate while we were gone which is good because my dogs get stressed easily . We got to bring their bed ,dry food, cans ,and treats and they write down everything you tell them to note down which is great. My dog really enjoyed it there and had an excellent experience. That is why I think this an excellent place and is a great place they also got to take a bath on the last day that they were there and they smelled amazing!

Great place to board your dog! We've always had good experiences with Pink Dog Grooming since the staff is so great. So, we decided to give their new boarding a try. While she doesn't love being left behind, our dog did very well and we know the staff is attentive and caring.

The staff is friendly but unorganized and they barely speak English. They have very little knowledge about dog breeds and temperaments beyond being small dog owners themselves. The dogs also only go out for 20 minutes a day maximum unless you pay $20 extra each day for daycare! Very inexperienced and unorganized, unlike the previous owner of the kennel.

We left our dogs for 2 weeks here, and they sent us pictures and took good care of them

Excellent experience! Easy to schedule, friendly staff and my pup looks fabulous!

We bring our Pug here and they take great care of him. He likes it there.

Lori and her team are the best..My dog Rex absolutely loves going Stow Road Pet sitters day care. He has fun, enjoys , plays is well cared for and treated like family. Lori is very caring and has a gift with dogs. Rex knows as soon as we turn into their exit and is so excited about going to his “play play” session. I am very grateful to have met Lori and team for Rex.

Lori and her team are so great with my dog Zeke. He comes home from half day care happy and tired every time. The drop off service is incredible. This is a smaller place and the dogs get a lot of attention and care. I really appreciate all the pictures and videos!

Steven and Lori are absolutely gems! We did an extensive search for pet sitters and gravitated to Stow Road Pet Sitters due to their overwhelmingly positive reviews. We were very nervous leaving our four kitties alone while we traveled. Steven and Lori were so kind and patient. Their thoughtful and often times very funny recaps of their visits along with the photos really set our mind at ease. Definitely recommend!

We were on a search for a kind, reliable, trustworthy border to send our Shiba Inu, Benny, to for an upcoming family vacation and we got so much more. We began daycare services with Lori about a month ago. The initial drop off for doggy daycare was a little overwhelming for Benny as he hadn't been in a group play setting with other dogs before. Lori was great to slowly introduce each dog one by one, and shortly thereafter, Benny warmed right up! Now as soon as we turn onto Lori's street for drop-off, Benny knows exactly where he's going and can't contain his excitement! We've also noticed that Ben is much calmer and better behaved at home. We highly recommend Stow Road Pet Sitters for anyone looking for services for their pet.

Lori is the best! I needed vacation home visit cat care-not just the normal food, water, litter care etc. –but both of my cats are on several medications which need to be given every 12 hours. She came for a few pre-visits to meet and get them comfortable with her (and she with them). During the vacation week, VERY attentive to them, their needs, my needs(!) and a bonus – I loved the visit reports including multiple pictures (and even videos) that were sent to me following each visit. Lori is very professional in all aspects of her care and love for animals, and I will definitely use her again.

We had an amazing first boarding experience with Lori! Our pup is a super nervous guy and this was his first time being away from us, but Lori knew exactly how to care for him and make him feel comfortable. Lori was great about keeping us updated with daily texts and photos/videos. It was clear from all the photos/videos how much fun he was having! We are looking forward to setting up some daycare days so he can spend more time with Lori and play with more doggie friends!

Lori and her team are incredibly thoughtful and accommodating, making our experience with Stow Road Pet Sitters wonderful. Lori treats each pet in her care as if they are her own. We trust her with our dog for both daycare and for overnight boarding and know that each time we drop him off, he is extremely well cared for. The staff sends regular communication and pictures when our dog is with them and it’s great to see our dog socializing and having fun! We found a true gem with Stow Road Pet Sitters and are so confident sending our dog there.

Stow Road Pet Sitters is an incredible facility for daycare and boarding. Lori and her team work incredibly hard to make sure dogs get the best care, and truly care for the dogs as if they were their own. I confidently recommend her business to any clients who need daycare and boarding in Marlboro and the surrounding area. They even do drop in visits!

Lori is an excellent pet sitter! We boarded our 1 year old Labrador with Lori for two nights at her home. She recommended we do two different meet and greets to ensure that our pup got along with her pup giving us the peace of mind we needed before boarding. They became great friends! Lori is incredibly communicative sending photos as frequently as you’d like. We will definitely be using Stow Road Pet sitters again!

We have used Lori’s services for overnight dog sitting twice now, and we trust her more than anyone with our girl! We have traveled internationally for both of our dog’s stays, and Lori constantly kept us updated with plenty of pictures, and it clearly shows that she gives the pets in her care lots of love and attention. We have a 5 year old, somewhat timid rescue and I was nervous about leaving her, but she LOVES Lori and her whole family! They truly open their home to the pets they care for as if they were their own, if I lived closer I would use all of Lori’s services! If you have the opportunity to have your pet cared for by her, take it! You won’t be disappointed!
