We Provide Positive Overnight Dog Boarding Experiences

A major concern of families seeking dog overnight care is whether their pet will have a positive experience.  We alleviate the stress of boarding your dog or puppy when you need to travel.

Regardless of the activities and special services you choose, your dog or puppy will enjoy daily exercise and sleep in a clean and spacious, well-ventilated area.

Our Boarding for Pets is Conveniently Located, with Free Parking

Our pet resort is easily accessible from I-90, Rte. 16 and Rte. 20, with plenty of free parking. Our clients come from Watertown, Lexington, Allston, Waltham, Wellesley, Newton, Cambridge, Boston, Weston, Belmont, Arlington, Somerville, Brighton, Brookline, Needham and others in Suffolk and Middlesex Counties.

Dog Kenneling versus Dog Overnight Boarding

No two dog boarding facilities are alike. For example, dog kennel facilities versus dog boarding facilities.

Typical dog kennels and boarding kennel facilities can provide your dog with safe shelter and meals for a short stay.

But even the best dog kennels are not set up to care for dogs beyond meeting their basic physical needs.

The best overnight dog boarding facilities are designed and staffed to support your dog’s physical, social and emotional needs throughout short-term and long-term boarding stays.

Our comprehensive approach is to provide clients seeking boarding kennels for dogs with additional options that support the overall wellbeing of their dog.

Once dog owners discover the advantages of dog overnight boarding versus dog kenneling, they realize that a basic pet kennel or puppy kennel may not adequately meet their dog’s needs.
