Dottie Jean's Pet Resort & Daycare Center

Dottie Jean's Pet Resort & Daycare Center handles dog boarding and daycare at 85 Chestnut Street in Shrewsbury, MA. Overnight guests have staff on site with them throughout the night. Dogs that board spend their days the way daycare dogs do, playing in groups indoors or outdoors.

What they offer

Daycare and boarding both run out of the Shrewsbury building, and dogs move between indoor and outdoor space depending on the weather.

• Overnight boarding with staff on site through the night
• A choice of crate or free-range overnight accommodations
• All-day play for boarding guests, indoors and outdoors
• Cage-free daycare with around-the-clock supervision
• Grooming services

What owners tend to notice

The crate-or-free-range choice is the detail worth asking about. A dog that sleeps loose at home can keep doing that here, while a dog who settles better in a crate can have one. Play groups run all day for boarding dogs, so a long stay looks a lot like a string of daycare days. Staff stay in the building overnight, so no dog is on its own between closing and morning. Dottie Jean's also runs a second location in the Worcester area.
