Pet Boarding Training near Arlington

“Our dog LOVES Go Play! We did puppy and basic obedience courses there and she goes weekly for daycare. When they open the door for her to come in our dog runs in and doesn’t look back! Go Play was also super helpful and supportive when we were going through behavioral issues with our dog. They’re so fantastic!“

“We love Boston Fetch! I’ve used them as my dog walker since last summer, and my dog has loved all of her walkers. She’s always excited to go out, and they do such a great job of handling my exuberant girl and pair her with dogs she loves.I need to give a special shout out since my dog is currently recovering from surgery. Her walks and interactions needed to be limited. Sophie and the team have done a great job modifying her schedule and handling her exactly as needed. They did such a great job with walks that I trusted them to watch my dog while I went away for the weekend.I have utilized other dog walking companies and doggie daycares in the Boston area and Boston Fetch is the best one I’ve used. They are dog experts.“

“We had a wonderful experience with Paws to Consider and worked with them for many years for our dog. They were extremely organized, kind, and responsive.“

“We had two sessions with Neil and he helped us so much with training our 5 month old puppy! After using most of the methods he taught us, we saw behavior change in just a few days. Couldn't be happier and highly recommend Zen Dog.“

“When I moved to East Boston mid 2021 it has been a couple of years since my little guy had been to a structured daycare. By that point there had been a lot of changes in life, personal and work, on top of spending 24/7 by my side the past 2 years. When I mentioned this to a close friend he had nothing but amazing things to say about Harbor Hounds. The amazing difference he saw in his timid pup with her confidence was night and day. While my little dude is anything but timid, his anxiety (seperation and otherwise) was at an all time high.My dog has been at Harbor Hounds for 2 years now and cannot say enough great things. Sarah, Lindsey and the rest of the employees there are beyond kind and caring. No matter the day, every time I drop him off his tail is always wagging. They let Yuki be Yuki all while helping him improve and learn along the way. It's made a huge difference in both his and my life.“

“I would hire Jeff again in a heartbeat. If your dog needs 1:1 training or training in a special environment, I can't recommend Good Dog Boston enough. Jeff is patient but enthusiastic, and you can tell he loves what he's doing. He comes to each training session with a goal, and then he gives homework based on how the session went. We had varied locations for our sessions in order to maximize effectiveness, and I know I wouldn't have been able to make so much progress so quickly without Jeff.“

“I found myself in a bad situation when my husband suddenly passed away. Our dogs were grieving, his dog was taking it particularly hard and already had anxiety issues but the team has been willing to work with them and figure out how to best manage his boys issues. I know we aren't the easiest case and it's so wonderful to find the help we need to get through this period.“

“I am so thrilled I found North Boston Dog Training! Rhonda trained our very high energy Brittany with the two week board and train! I was very hesitant about the training because Navy has allergies and very sensitive skin (can’t use most training collars) but so glad we sent him. Rhonda listened to our concerns and designed the training around what worked for him. Within two weeks, he is so much better on a leash and is already off leash in our backyard. Before training, I’d literally be in tears during our walks but now I’m skipping and smiling. So thankful for Rhonda and North Boston Dog Training. Will be using them again for any future dog!“

“Jen cared for my 11 year old hound mutt Biscuit during my 4 day vacation. She sent photos and texts. It allowed me to know the big guy was happy. She’ll be the first person I call before my next vacation!“

“Rachael and Evelyn were amazing. I live out of town and needed care for my Giuseppe while at Dana Farber for my father. I am so grateful to them for their exceptional service and for going above and beyond. ♥️?“

“Excellent service. They were able to get me an appointment the next day and my dog was done exactly when they promised she would be. Strongly recommend!“

“We have used K9 Academy New England for both of our dogs. Matt has worked with them at different stages individually and collectively. He always goes above and beyond to answer questions and he genuinely cares about his craft. I have recommended him to many people and the consensus is the same, HE IS THE BEST. These services are worth every penny, as our dogs are well behaved and we are informed and responsible dog owners, all due to Matt!“

“Wonderful place- our pup is excited to go and ready for a nap after an exciting day of play. If for an overnight, great care and stay is individually curated.“

“There are no words to truly show how much Dogwood Cottage has meant to us and to our dog, Leo, since we started going in 2021. We had tried a different place before, which made Leo nervous around dogs and humans. When we went to Dogwood, Leo loved playing with the sweet group of dogs that come to daycare- he even has a few girlfriends there now! We love seeing the pictures/videos of him playing with his buddies on the Dogwood Cottage Instagram and seeing how happy he is every time he goes! The love, and attention, and patience that the staff shows Leo continues to be above and beyond— it has helped Leo come out of his shell with humans. I know that a large reason for this staff culture is due to the leadership of Dogwood’s manager, Carl James. Not only is Carl incredibly knowledgable about dogs and their behavior, but I have come to know Carl closely and feel that I can speak to his kindness, dedication, and selflessness. He deeply cares for the dogs that come to Dogwood as well as the satisfaction of their human owners. Carl is responsive, responsible, organized, thoughtful, and I will always completely trust Leo in him and his staff’s care. Carl consistently goes above and beyond. Any place that Carl is, is a place that is lucky to have him and a place that we trust 100%.“

“Gail is the best she does such a great job. I have been going to Gail for over 20 years and always have at least 3 dogs that I bring at on time. She is so accommodating. Gails staff is always so kind. I have no worries when they are in Gails hands.“

“Had a great experience with Salome and my 1 year old Anatolian Shepard mix. Ember is a very anxious and guarded dog and not very food motivated. Salome had some great insight on how to make her more comfortable as well as other great tips to help train a dog with her temperament. Although Ember is pretty timid, she loved Salome and we were able to make some great progress. Along with that, Salome herself was very professional and made the experience enjoyable all around. I will definitely be coming back and I would recommend her to anyone!“

“Highly recommend. Have been sending our dog here regularly for daycare and occasional boarding during the past year. Our pup always comes back tired and happy. The facility is clean and there are cameras so you can see your dog 24/7. They also offer pickup/drop off service at a very reasonable rate.“

“Kim is very reliable and dependable. We love getting our daily pupdates stating how our dog's walk went. Very trustworthy walker, you can tell she genuinely cares for the dogs she walks!“

“We used Paws About Town for a few years while we lived in Newton MA. Im a first responder, so i dont have a set weekly schedule. They were the only dog walkers we could find that were willing to work with our schedule. Our dog is a blind Puggle with a big personality. She absolutely loved every time she got to have her play dates with Jason. You can tell he truly loves what he does and cares about each dog. We even had them board her while we went on vacation a couple times. Honestly I'm not sure I would trust anybody more than Paws About Town with my dog.“

“We have been working with Cara for basic training for our very playful, energetic and friendly 3 month old German Shorthaired Pointer. She has been amazing! Within one session with Cara, we found ourselves with a more manageable puppy. Our puppy also loves working with Cara. Cara really cares about what she does and it definitely shows! She arrives on time and knows exactly what to do. She’s also available to field any questions or troubleshoot any situations for 2 weeks after your session. We highly recommend her to anyone!“

“Boston Dog Butlers is my favorite groomer. The staff is very knowledgable and empathetic. Reagan does a great job with my nervous little dog. The shop is well stocked with high quality products. They also offer stand alone services like nail trim. Always a great experience.“

“I love our state! Just watched a fantastic news story on Ch5 about the mobile Wellness Waggin and that they are looking for donations!! I can’t think of a better way to spend my charitable money!!“

“The entire team at Ruff Translating are beyond incredible. They really are “fluent in dog.” When I started my service dog training journey, I was completely overwhelmed and wondering what I’d gotten myself into. At no point will I pretend that training your own service dog is an easy undertaking. It takes consistency, persistence, and the ability to take constructive advice from people who know what they’re doing. In the year that I’ve worked with Ruff Translating, Apollo has completely transformed. I never imagined that we’d ever get to where we are now as a team.Ejay, Kim, and Michelle put so much time and effort into personalizing training plans for every individual team. The weekly report cards and homework are the perfect framework that I needed to get to where Apollo and I are now. I thoroughly appreciate the direct communication, and clearly outlined expectations for handlers and dogs alike, as it’s made navigating this process of owner training so much more manageable! These wonderful humans truly care about each and every one of the teams that walk through their doors. I’ll continue to recommend them to anyone and everyone who stops to compliment me on how incredible Apollo’s behavior is.“

“Great staff! Overall great experience. My family has been coming here for years & we started bringing our kitten and can’t recommend Emerson enough!“

“I love the vets here. I've been bringing pets here for 16 years and have always felt like my pets are care for. I think the strengths of this animal hospital is general preventative care like annual check-ups. They make referrals if they feel like your pet would benefit from more specialized care but my pets have been healthy and happy coming here. I have never had a pet boarded here so I don't know about that. Overall, it's a really nice vet that is always clean and has really nice staff & vets.“

“Our big dog, Mason, has been going to the Continental since he was a pup. He's 7 years old now and he loves it. He is well stimulated and loved when he's there for daycare, and loves playing with the other dogs and people. When he's groomed, it's like a day at the spa for the big guy. Their boarding is also great as well. The people are super friendly and pet lovers! It's a great place to bring your furry, four legged family member“
