What Reviews Say
168 reviews analyzedBest Friends Pet Hotel in Sudbury enjoys overwhelmingly positive reviews with a 5-star average, driven by exceptional staff (particularly manager Heidi), clean facilities, and genuine pet care. The facility has seen significant improvement under new management since 2023. However, a small number of serious incidents (1-2 star reviews) raise concerns about communication during stays and safety for senior pets. Most customers are repeat visitors who appreciate the webcam access, picture updates, and staff who know pets by name. Value for money is the weakest category, with some complaints about pricing increases.
