Park-9 Dog Bar

Park-9 Dog Bar is a dog boarding and daycare facility at 48 Waters Ave in Everett, MA, where overnight guests stay in private suites and spend their days in group play. The same building holds an off-leash indoor and outdoor dog park plus a bar, so the place doubles as a social spot for owners.

Services and amenities

• Overnight boarding in private suites, offered in four sizes, from $80 to $105 per night
• Daycare with indoor play areas and outdoor space
• Dog training
• Medication administration and special diet feeding
• More than 7,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor play space

What makes Park-9 different

Most kennels are not also a bar. Park-9 pours craft beer, cocktails, and wine, and runs Lala's, an in-house pizza kitchen, so an owner can stick around while the dog plays off leash. House-made dog treats are included rather than billed as an extra. The building is climate controlled and runs an HVAC system with HEPA air filtration.

Staffing and safety

Staff are Pet CPR and First Aid certified, and supervision covers dogs around the clock. Proof of vaccination is required before a dog is admitted. Dogs that need medication or a specific diet can be accommodated during a stay.

The facility opens at 7:00 AM Monday through Friday. It closes at 9:00 PM Monday and Tuesday and at 10:00 PM Wednesday through Friday. Saturday hours run 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM, and Sunday runs 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM. Booking is handled online.
