TESTIMONIALS
Bogey
"We have always been skeptical of where to take our Frenchie after his first experience at a daycare, but Crate Escape has become Bogey's home away from home! All we have to do is say "Ready to go to school?" and Bogey runs to the door waiting to be taken! The employees are all extremely friendly and make a point to know each dog for who they are and needs they may have. We especially love that they have an outdoor play area. We cannot recommend this place enough, nothing beats a happy and tired dog at the end of the day!" - Lauren
Junebug & Indigo
"I know that Junebug and Indigo consider Crate Escape Too their second home, because they bark as defensively there as they do in their own house. (Sigh … dachshunds.) Our dogs and our whole family love and trust the Crate and Suite Escape staff unreservedly. We have had two generations of dogs in regular daycare and for overnights at all three Crate facilities for over a decade. Junebug and Indigo have been dignified with VIP recognition, but in reality all dogs at Crate are treated as very important, with affection and professional expertise. Because of our penchant for dachshunds, we’ve had dogs that have some innate health problems: vulnerable backs. Junebug and Indigo require a sharp eye and persistent attention to prevent them from jumping on and off furniture, etc., and from excessive rough-housing. At Crate, the staff are all aware of their needs and are attentive to managing their activity, but the staff also make sure that Junebug and Indigo are engaged and have plenty of opportunity to play with friends – both canine and human. We really love that our dogs have playmates and are always excited to be at Crate Escape Too." - Valentine
Pilot & Twix
"Pilot and Twix love Crate Escape! They have so much fun playing with their friends all day and getting their energy out so they sleep well at night. The dedicated staff is incredible and truly cares. Could not ask for a better place for my dogs to go!" - Lizzie
Sandor
"We were a little nervous about sending our dog Sandor to a big daycare as he had only gone to a small one as a puppy, but Crate Escape has ended up being a total godsend - and one of his favorite places!! We've toured and tried several other large daycares in the area but nothing seems to fit quite as well. They have huge facilities, lots of staff, and plenty of space both in and outdoors, and he loves everyone that works there. They have also been beyond accommodating with taking him for overnight stays - whether it is last minute changes / bookings, or his fussy instructions since he is a giant breed dog. One time they even took care of him when he had a veterinary emergency during his stay, so we didn't have to rush home and cancel going to a wedding. We also love that they have a big selection of treats and goodies, super flexible pick up / drop off hours, multi-day packages and easy billing, easy tracking of vaccinations, prompt and clear communication, and most importantly, that Sandor LOVES going there so much (seriously, his whole body starts trembling when we pull into the parking lot). This place is well-run and has it all, big kudos to the staff and owners! He's grown up to be sociable and friendly to all dogs and part of that we can contribute to Crate Escape. Thanks for giving Sandor a place to run and play during the week!" - Victoria and Evan
Bowser
"Taking Bowser to Crate Escape is like taking him to camp. Though Bowser is normally a “velcro” dog, every day when we pull into the Crate Escape parking lot, Bowser starts wagging his tail and whining with excitement because he knows he is about the have the best day ever. (Yes, every day!) The staff is organized, attentive, and flexible, and even though they have many dogs come through, they always go above and beyond to make him (and us) feel special. When we go on vacation and need to board Bowser, we can do it guilt free knowing that he is having the time of his life playing with his best friends and getting nighttime snuggles if he chooses." - Sara and Chris
Ellie Spots
"We've been bringing our Ellie Spots to Crate Escape for 6 years, and we couldn't imagine having a dog without them. From the moment we met the crew at the Somerville Dog festival, and they saw our then 9-month-old Ellie interact with the other dogs there and said "We love her, you have to bring her to us!" It has been a fantastic experience. Before finding Crate Escape, other places wouldn't allow Ellie to socialize, because she is a "bully breed". The staff told us that they were bully friendly, and they let dogs come based on temperament, and actual interactions. As owners of a bully, we were excited and grateful to hear that she would be given a chance, and not discriminated. We brought her in for a temperament test and have never looked back. The staff has always been amazing and have treated Ellie (and us like family). They never forget her birthday, always make sure that they have treats and goodies for her that wont aggravate her allergies, and the grooming department is fantastic with her. Ellie loves it when she can have an overnight there and steal all the cuddles. We look forward to our weekly "puppy day", and we especially look forward to Ellie being "Day-care Wasted" after a full day of puppy playtime!" - Deanna and Jeremy
Rory & Norma
"We cannot say enough good things about Crate Escape! We tried several doggy daycares to try to socialize our anxious Dalmatian, Rory, and she dreaded going every time...until we found Crate Escape. She became a more sociable pup and more confident being introduced to new people as well. When we got our second dog, Norma, in the fall of 2019, we knew we wanted to get her socialized early as well. Rory and Norma now run to the door at every drop off and the struggle now is getting them to leave at the end of the day. The staff at Crate Escape really take the time to get to know your dogs and genuinely care about each and every dog. The facilities are super clean and the new COVID-19 policies put our minds at ease. We trust all the products they offer and advice they share! Crate Escape is the best doggy-daycare we have found!" - Katie and Kyle
Felix
"Felix has been going to Crate Escape since he was 4 months old. We love it and he loves it! He is so exhausted from playing when he gets home! He is so excited to get out of the car in the morning when we get there! The staff is the best! They really care about the dogs like they are their own. They are also so helpful in answering all my questions and concerns. We love Crate Escape!" - Christine and Matt
Gellie
"It is hard to believe that Magellan (Gellie) has been coming to spend days and nights with you for 13+ years. We are very happy to belong to the Crate Escape family. I know she is in loving hands, whether it is staying overnight, for the day or having a bath. Thank you for always being there for us!" - Mary
Lilly
"We've been bringing our pup, Lilly, to Crate Escape Too since we first got her in 2015. We know she loves going there because she pulls us to the front door when we drop her off and takes her sweet time leaving at the end of the day. The team is amazing and we know they care for Lilly as if she were one of their own. We love being part of the CE2 family!"
Millie
"Our dog Millie loves Crate Escape Too! From the kind, knowledgeable and attentive staff to her well-behaved furry friends, it has been a welcoming and enjoyable experience since the first day we dropped her off. We always get a kick out of watching our fun-loving pup zoom around with all her friends on the @crateescapetoo Instagram account. The peace of mind you have knowing your dog will be safe and happy each time you drop them off is a huge relief for first time dog owners. To top it all off, the staff always gives Millie a tasty treat on the way out!" - Anna
Dakota
"The Suite Escape provides my "fur child" Dakota with a wonderful, attention-filled vacation every time. The staff is amazing, the facility is immaculate, and the number of dogs there at any given time is just right (i.e.- not too many). The highly trained staff did an amazing job introducing Dakota to the other dogs, and made sure that she felt safe and comfortable during her initial stay. Now, Dakota gets excited every time we approach the building and fully enjoys her time romping around with her fellow fur friends. I highly recommend the Suite Escape...it's truly a fabulous place!" - Anna
Nicky
"We feel great leaving Nicky at Suite Escape. We know he's safe so we can enjoy time away from home without worry. The team really takes into account the individual needs of every dog to make sure they all have as positive an experience as possible. We love that Nicky can be in daycare during the day, but gets to rest in his own private space overnight. The kennel area is light-filled and immaculate. The staff is super-friendly. And pick-up and drop-off times are flexible." - Alexandra and Frank
Charlie
"Our Labradoodle Charlie is a regular at Crate Escape for day care weekly. When we had to leave him overnight for Thanksgiving, we heard that Suite Escape was opening and we were so excited. Charlie can bring his own bedding and gets his own little room to crash in at the end of a long day. Leann and everyone on the staff has been so great in communicating how he is doing, which is so reassuring to a worried doggie mama. They are more than happy to go the extra mile and accommodate any requests like sprinkling treats in his food at dinner time to make sure our picky eater is eating :) we love that he can play with all the dogs all day but then have private space to rest at night. Charlie has a new go-to spot when we go out of town now- and from the way he runs in the door to Suite Escape when we arrive, we are pretty sure he doesn't miss us a bit! Thanks Suite Escape for taking such good care of our baby!" - Rosemary
Lapa
"We felt very comfortable leaving our pup Lapa in their care while my husband and I had to go out of town for a few days. They gave all of us (including Lapa) a tour around the facility so she could become more acquainted. She was excited and even had her own suite/room where she had her bed and toys. They have an outdoors and regular walks and a large play area where they interact with the other dogs, so that was a big positive for us because Lapa is super social! They took great care of her and we were all very happy! Will definitely use them again in the future." - Flora
