You can feel confident and assured that your pet will be well taken care of at Toureen. We've boarded our Weimaraner many times over the past two years at this facility and we love it. We know that she will be well taken care of and that gives us peace of mind – whether leaving her for a day, a week, or even longer. Love Toureen!
Response from the owner:This review made our day—thank you! Peace of mind is exactly what we aim for: thoughtful supervision, predictable routines, and a team chosen for skill and gentle handling. We’re glad you’ve found our pricing fair and our care dependable for your Weimaraner, no matter the length of stay. Please let us know any preferences to note for her next boarding, daycare day, or groom—we’re here to keep everything just right. With appreciation, Toureen Pet Resort & Spa

That loyalty means the world to us. As a third-generation, family-owned resort, our promise has never changed: your dogs’ health, safety, and comfort come first every single visit. Please give Larry and Frank an extra ear scratch from our team, and thank you for being part of the Toureen family since… well, almost forever! —From our family at Toureen Pet Resort & Spa

Great grooming and boarding. Our puppy seemed happy and energetic when we picked him up and the grooming of our Portuguese Water dog was perfect.
Response from the owner:Alan, we’re so glad your puppy had a great stay and that the PWD groom was just right. Our grooming team focuses on safe techniques and thoughtful, breed-specific finishes, and our boarding team keeps the day balanced so pups go home relaxed and bright-eyed.

I've been coming here for many years. I've taken my shitzhzu here+ now my lab/ retriever. Despite the long wait for grooming they are very kind and caring. When I bring my dog in I can tell I can trust them by the way my dog walks right in and is happy on the way out. Beautiful job, my retrievers first time professional groomed and she smells and looks fantastic. And they gove a cute bandana at the end.
Response from the owner:Thank you Renee, for being such a longtime part of the Toureen family! We’re so glad to hear you’ve trusted us with both your Shih Tzu and now your Lab/Retriever, that means a lot to our team. It’s wonderful to know your pup feels comfortable coming in and leaves looking and smelling fantastic! We really appreciate your patience and kind words, and we’ll be sure to pass your compliments along to our groomers.

We have taken our boxer lab mix to daycare here for years. They take phenomenal care of him. And he is always excited to go. They offer convenient services like nail trims during the day at daycare. Would recommend to anyone looking for a place that loves their dog while they need to go to work or simply some time to get something done without the dog around.

My dog loves going to “school” and playing with his friends. The staff are the best – super friendly and kind not to just the pups but to the family members too! So lucky he gets to spend his days here!

My dog is obsessed with Toureen! She's been going to daycare here 1-2x/week for the past 1.5 years, and whenever I pick her up, she doesn't want to leave! We've also used their boarding services a few times and have no complaints. They are reliable about giving your dog their medication on the right schedule and with the correct dosage (I have not had the same luck at other boarding facilities). It is obvious how much the entire staff loves the dogs in their care.

I have brought my cat here every 3-4months for the last ~two years for grooming, intermittent sanitary shaves and nail trimming. The staff are always professional and cordial. Excellent communication around drop off and pick up times. Prices are reasonable for cat grooming services, and given the consistency of their quality work, well deserved.

Boarding and Daycare Frequently Asked Questions

I’m looking for Boston dog boarding. Is Toureen located in Boston?

Toureen Pet Resort & Spa is located in Watertown, MA, offering a convenient alternative to the hustle and traffic of downtown Boston. If you’re searching for Boston dog boarding, Toureen provides easy access from the Greater Boston area without the challenges of navigating busy city streets, ensuring a stress-free drop-off and pick-up experience for you and your pet.

When is the best time to visit and tour the facility?

You’re welcome to visit anytime we’re open (M-F from 8-6; Sat 8-5; Sun 10-5). However, in order to avoid waiting for us to finish serving our clients during busy drop-off and pick-up times, we recommend avoiding the first or last two hours of the day.  The mid-morning to mid-afternoon timing will also provide you with the best sense of what our supervised daycare and boarding areas are like when most of our guests are here.

Do I need to make a reservation, or call ahead, before bringing my dog or cat for daycare?

We only require a reservation for your pet’s first day with us, when we will orient and assess them to ensure the best possible experience for them – and you!  Otherwise, returning clients do not need to make a reservation.

Do I need to bring food for my dog or cat?

The food we serve is Science Diet – Sensitive Stomach brand, but you are welcome to provide any meals or treats that your dog or cat prefers, or requires due to allergies.  For any food you provide, we would appreciate it in labeled zip-top bags (pre-measured is preferable, but not required).

Can my dog play outside?

Yes! We maintain a large, safe, and sanitary outside space for dogs to explore and enjoy the freedom and fun of playing and socializing with new and old friends. Our caring, energetic supervisory staff thoughtfully separates groups of dogs by age, size and personality, and works to ensure that each guest enjoys a balanced, healthy day.
