Greater Boston Dog

Greater Boston Dog handles dog boarding, daycare, and training at 54 Washington St in North Easton, MA. It runs as a boutique operation, taking no more than 50 dogs at a time. The owners live on the property, and the facility is staffed around the clock, so dogs are not left alone overnight.

Services

Boarding, daycare, training, and spa work all happen at the same address:

• Overnight boarding in temperature-controlled private quarters and kennel suites
• Daycare with indoor play space and two fenced outdoor yards that separate large and small dogs
• Obedience and behavior training
• Spa services: baths, nail trims, teeth brushing, and ear cleaning
• Oral and topical medication administration

What makes it different

The 50-dog cap is the core of it. With that ceiling, staff can learn a dog's routine instead of managing a crowd. The split yards matter to owners of small dogs who would rather skip the rough play. Climate control and private quarters apply to the sleeping areas, not only the play space. Keeping training, grooming, and boarding under one roof also cuts down on trips across town. Two veterinary clinics, one of them an emergency clinic, sit within a third of a mile.

Practical details

Rates published by the kennel run $65 to $80 per day, depending on the service chosen. Reservations are made online. Every dog needs current vaccinations before boarding or daycare.
