About Butter's House
Butter's House offers dog boarding and daycare in Milford, MA, out of a facility at 23 Maple Street that also takes cats, pocket pets, and reptiles. Two veterinary technicians with 30 combined years in animal care opened it in 2020, and that training shapes the operation: staff are on site around the clock, medication is given at no extra charge, and a therapeutic program serves pets that need closer watching.
Services
- Overnight boarding, with drop-off after 12 noon and pickup before 12 noon
- Daycare in small playgroups sorted by age, size, temperament, and play style
- Therapeutic boarding and daycare for senior, ill, or infirm dogs and cats
- Cat boarding in glass-front condos with multiple play levels, a separate litter area, and daily window sunshine
- Pocket pet and reptile boarding in a private, quiet space
What sets it apart
The medical background shows up in the therapeutic program, which is built for pets that need a higher level of care because of age, illness, or infirmity. Those guests are monitored closely, get any needed medications, and the staff coordinates with the pet's own veterinarian on current treatment. Playgroups stay small, with a maximum of 10 dogs per staff member, and dogs go out several times a day with rest in between. Pets from the same household may share an enclosure, though prices are per dog.
Enrichment is part of the day too, from puzzle toys to outdoor adventures.
Practical details
Daycare runs Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM and Saturday from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM, with no daycare on Sunday. Boarding drop-off and pickup happen within regular open hours, and Sunday is limited to 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM. Booking starts with a phone call to (508) 381-2344. If the facility is accepting clients, it sends a questionnaire about the pet, then schedules a meet-and-greet tour that usually takes about 20 minutes. Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella vaccines are required, and canine influenza is strongly recommended. Cancellations inside 72 hours of a reservation carry a fee.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do new clients book a stay at Butter's House?
Booking starts with a phone call to (508) 381-2344. If Butter's House is accepting clients at the time, it sends out a questionnaire about the pet's likes, dislikes, play style, and vaccine status, then offers dates for a meet-and-greet and tour that usually takes around 20 minutes.
What vaccinations does a dog need before boarding or daycare?
Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella (kennel cough) are required, and proof must be submitted before arrival. If the Bordetella vaccine has never been given or has lapsed, it needs to be administered at least five days before the stay. The canine influenza vaccine is strongly recommended but not required.
What are the drop-off and pickup times?
Boarding drop-off is after 12 noon and pickup is before 12 noon, with weekend pickup by 3:00 PM and Sunday hours limited to 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM. Weekday daycare drop-off runs 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM with pickup by 6:00 PM; Saturday drop-off is by 9:00 AM with pickup by 3:00 PM. Times outside those windows carry a charge, and therapeutic boarders may come and go anytime during business hours.
What is therapeutic boarding and daycare?
It is for dogs and cats that need a higher level of care because of age, illness, or infirmity. Those pets are closely monitored, receive any necessary medications, and the staff will work alongside the owner's veterinarian if treatment is ongoing.
Is anyone at the facility overnight?
Yes. Butter's House is staffed 24/7 with certified and trained professionals, and someone is always on site overnight.
Is there an extra charge for giving medication, and can two dogs share a space?
There is no additional charge for administering medication. Pets from the same household may share an enclosure, though pricing is still per dog.
