Dog Boarding in Boston

Your dog can stay at home with our visits or an overnight sitter, or join a small pack in one of our team members' private, fenced homes.

Overview

Leaving your dog when you travel is hard on both of you. Boarding with us gives your dog constant attention, exercise, training reinforcement and friends, in a home environment instead of a kennel, and keeps their routine as intact as possible. Dogs thrive on consistency and predictability.

Every option is cared for by a professionally trained handler experienced in medication administration and dogs of all temperaments. You can request that your dog joins our daily route in the Boston, Quincy, Milton, Weymouth or Braintree neighborhood being serviced, and we send daily photos or videos and GPS-tracked walks through the portal so you can relax while you are away.

  • Small packs onlyNo more than six dogs in any of our homes.
  • Inspected, fenced homesEvery team home is dog-safe, private and has a fenced yard.
  • Join the daily routeAsk for your dog to come along on walks and playgroups during the stay.
  • Updates every dayPhotos or video plus a journal entry about your dog's day.

Is it right for your dog?Choose in-home care if your dog is happiest in familiar surroundings, our-home boarding for social dogs who love company, and solo boarding for seniors, anxious dogs or dogs with medical needs.

So friendly and they take such good care of my pitbulls. I live near Seaport Boston and was so happy to find this dog walking company. Sometimes my dogs attend the play groups and they love it!

FAQ

Dog Boarding questions.

How many dogs stay together in your boarding homes?

We keep pack numbers small. Your dog will be housed with no more than five other dogs in a private, fenced-in home.

What does in-home boarding include?

One of our team stops by your home four times to feed, walk, play and keep your dog company, and every visit comes with a photo and an update. It is $130.

Can my dog still go on walks while boarding?

Yes. You can request that your dog joins our daily route, and solo walks, group walks or playgroups can be added for extra stimulation.
