Pet boarding/training near Essex

“We started with daycare on Saturdays to see if Mika likes playing with other doggies...she loved loved loved it!!! Every Saturday we get excited and she knows she going to daycare to play! I get pooped out with errands and she comes home pooped out too!

I was nervous for her to stay for our 2wk vacay since she is crate trained at home but the staff worked with her the first few days and she settled right in. They sent me msg updates and pics while I was in Europe. Not once did I have a worry...she was safe, happy and played all day with all her playmates. She came home with a shampoo and slept off all her fun for 2 days!!

5 stars for professional and honest caretaking of my girl! Keep up the great job and we will see ya on Saturdays!! I promise not to make ya'll jealous with my next vacay pics!“

“I can only give a 4Star review just yet because I've only had three training sessions so far and no group dog training yet. My Dog is responding well to the exercises and isn't pulling during walks nor has she darted out a door as soon as it opens. I have learned a lot as well in the small timeframe. The training IS pricey but if I can get the reactiveness and aggression under control so we (humans and other dogs in and outside the house) can live in harmony then it was worth it because everyone's safe. That is my goal and what I want out of this training.“

“Luna and I had a great experience from start to finish at Parkville Animal Hospital. The front desk girl (sorry don't know your name) was so friendly and make check-in/check-out simple! Jen, our vet tech, was so kind and made me feel at ease. She took her time with Luna and made her feel safe. Dr. Burton was wonderful! She was thorough and kind to Luna! I felt comfortable with how Luna was handled. I did research on local veterinary offices. I have been to others. Parkville Animal Hospital will be my go to! Thank you for such a great first appointment! Appointments can be made online. Prices are reasonable. They have parking behind the building.“

“We are so grateful to have found Megan and her team who have provided great care to our English bulldog. It’s nice not having to worry about your pet when travelling and it’s very comforting knowing he’s in great hands!“

“I became a dog mom 9 weeks ago and I utilize Dogtopia for dog daycare while I'm at work. My fur baby loves it!“

“Absolutely loved this place! The staff & service are exceptional & my dog looks great. I will definitely continue to bring him in for regular grooming.“

“I love the Rosedale Animal Hospital. Really helpful understanding my pet and understanding how they need to be cared for. Thank you.“

“I moved to the area with my dog about two years ago, and I truly don’t know what I would have done without Rey. From day one, he has been incredibly reliable, flexible, and accommodating—often making last-minute adjustments to Sosa’s stays to help with my hectic schedule.
What really sets Rey apart is how thoughtful he is. He’s sent Sosa home with homemade treats and even made him feel extra special on his birthday. It’s clear that he genuinely cares about the dogs he looks after.
Sosa can be a bit anxious around strangers (and in general), but Rey immediately put both of us at ease. His experience really shows in the way he handles Sosa’s quirks with patience and confidence. Now, Rey is one of Sosa’s favorite people—I always joke that he’s so happy there, he might not even want to come home!
I truly haven’t considered trusting anyone else with my dog. Rey has been such a blessing, and I can’t recommend him highly enough.“

“What an awesome, informative behind-the-scenes tour of how the National Aquarium runs. We loved learning about the quarantine period, how animals are cared for, and the rescue operations. Our guide was very informative and engaging - big kudos to Andy! The 90 minute tour covered so much information and we were so happy to have paid the extra fee to visit this center. Highly recommend! (FYI they have a small parking lot that they let you use free of charge during the tour with entry 30 minutes before).“

“Cinnamon's vet experience was great. She didn't even flinch when she received her vaccinations. Information was easy to understand and staff was very friendly and knowledgeable.“

“This place is great! I have a diabetic cat who needed to be boarded requiring 2 shots of insulin a day. Not only was he so happy and healthy coming back, Dr. Sand was one of the most knowledgeable vets on feline diabetes. He provided me with a plethora of knowledge on the condition, best diets and how to maintain and recommended insulin treatments I didn't even know existed. He will be my primary for my 11 yr old boy now. I even think they brushed him everyday too, because he came back so soft.“
