This review is strictly for the boarding. We went on vacation this week and had to leave our 1 yr old pup for the first time. He's never been away from us since we got him, so needless to say we were very anxious and nervous going into this. We left him at Boston Dog with my moms dog who is his best friend. They had the "room" together all week. Don't expect much as far as appearance of the place. It's nothing special and no fancy additions. With that being said, we will definitely be sending him back next year. The staff were very nice and understood our anxieties about

We were told over a month ago that they could accommodate our four dogs for a 5 day boarding. We talked about each of the four dogs on the phone, giving a description of their temperament, breed and weight. The person assured us that they have 1 available kennel that can house the dogs together. We sent in all the paperwork that was necessary and never heard back. After repeated calls and emails to get someone to confirm our reservation, we started to worry that something was amiss. Finally, we heard back from them today (we called them), and they told us that they could only accommodate one dog

This place is beyond terrible. I planned on taking my dog here for the weekend, since I was going away. The man who called me to confirm my reservation was very creepy; I was put off. He said this time of year (February vacation) is really not a busy time for them. He said they only board 2-3 dogs at a time and that they're very selective with what dogs they board. I then continued to call my friend who in fact boarded her dog here. She said her dog came home traumatized, never wanting to go back. The workers spray the dogs with water when they bark. A small puppy was yelping in his cage and

We are very pleased with Boston Dog doggie daycare in Acton. Our dog is happy to attend, trots right in. We find the staff friendly, professional, and welcoming. They care about the dogs, ours goes over for her tickle, then asks to go into the play room. The facility is clean,. The business hours work for us, we can drop the dog off on the way to work. We're happy with the care she gets. I'd love to get more details about her day, but recognize at pickup, it can be a bit busy.
Daycare can be an excellent resource. It has helped our girl to be more comfortable around others. I also know

Terrible service. I've never written a review for a company but feel obligated to tell dog owners NOT TO GO HERE! We started coming in Spring 2016, and the company's "rigorous interview process" was 5mins long where my dog was in a storage room and interacted with 2 different dogs. Our dog is the sweetest, friendliest dog, has never bared his teeth or acted vicious in any way, ever. He was accepted. Every time we brought him to daycare, he comes home smelling like a disgusting farm animal. The disorganized staff could NEVER tell us when our pup had last been taken out to the

I have been using boston dog for over a year and my pup seems to love it. The staff is friendly, although I really would like a more detailed update on what he does that day. They are pretty flexible and I can drop my dog off without an appointment. I have never not felt safe leaving him there like it data on other reviews.
I'm not sure why people are so upset about their screening process. I was actually pretty nervous before doing it, but they just take an interview with the dog and then you bring him/her into boston dog for a trial day of daycare to see how the dog does. There is no three

If you want your dog to feel extremely on edge, go here for an interview! A few months ago I brought my dog in for an interview and left really confused - I thought they were supposed to be dog experts..? I think their exclusivity is really a facade. Just because it's hard to get in, doesn't mean your dog will be safe, and doesn't mean they necessarily know what they're doing.
My dog plays very well with others. The only fights he's gotten into have been with his brother, over toys and food. When I arrived, there were about 4 staff members there - none of whom greeted

Final update. I have left Boston Dog. I ultimately didn't feel safe bringing my dogs there any more. Also, I find the owners behavior through social media completely inappropriate. Airing ones dirty laundry on Facebook and attacking bad yelp reviews is never a good practice. It seems odd that there are so many new 5 star reviews- it reeks of management trying to up their review because people are finally realizing what a poor practice they are running and are trying to let people know.
Anyways. I am sad to say it. I was a loyal 2-3 times a week customer with 2 dogs and I bought my food and

I created my yelp account to write this review. I am not sure why it is no longer counting towards overall rating. I streamlined my previous review as it was a bit too wordy. The strange advertisement-like-reviews have made me even more uncomfortable with this business, and so I have since stopped bringing my dog to Boston Dog in Acton.

The owners are the best! They really care about dogs and you can tell how passionate they are. I have always seen familiar faces when bringing my pup into Boston Dog! The prices are reasonable and they have such cute things in the store also! My dog is my world, and I am confident that she is being attended to all the time. They know her quirks and her super cute personality, that only someone would know when taking close care of her. Very happy with this business! Keep it up Boston Dog Company!

After having less than a great experience at another doggie daycare, I brought Molly to Boston Dog when they opened their location in Acton. It has been a fabulous experience for both me and Molly!! The staff is awesome- I really feel that I'm leaving Molly with my friends. She is so happy to jump in the car when I say "Let's go play with the dogs!!" She's happy and exhausted when I pick her up. Can't be happier with this organization, and the care and love my dog receives.
