Pet boarding/training near Arlington picked by BestProsInTown
“Our dog LOVES Go Play! We did puppy and basic obedience courses there and she goes weekly for daycare. When they open the door for her to come in our dog runs in and doesn’t look back! Go Play was also super helpful and supportive when we were going through behavioral issues with our dog. They’re so fantastic!”
“We are so grateful to have found Boston’s Best Dog! Aaron was knowledgeable and responsive immediately when I reached out regarding dog boarding for my dog. He paired Scout with the best possible fit to watch him and we could not have been happier with their services. We had updates everyday with pictures and positive messages which made us feel reassured that he was in the best hands. Cannot recommend them enough !!”
“We loved our zen dog puppy class with Dario and had looked forward to it every week. Me and my pup have learned a lot that we’ll take away and continue with on our training journey, but the difference with my pup in just those 6 weeks was incredible. I highly recommend enrolling here with your dogs”
“We signed Willie up for the 6 hour Train & Play because we were worried he wasn’t getting enough socialization with other pups, and we’ve been so happy with it. He always comes home happy and tired!<br><br>We love the Instagram updates throughout the day. It’s really nice getting to see him playing and interacting with the other dogs, and it makes us feel good knowing he’s having fun and getting that socialization. The staff clearly cares a lot about the dogs and does an awesome job.”
“This Veterinary center was very accommodating, clean, professional, well mannered and empathetic. We recently visited the vet and had to hear some tough news. They aren’t just about making a bunch of money or a profit taking advantage of their customer base. They were very understanding and extremely accommodating. The staff was professional and personable. The doctor was experienced and very knowledgeable. They even followed up after with a written summary of our appt and prepared thoroughly reviewing our dogs history before we met. I am extremely satisfied with the thoroughness and the time the doctor spent with us and didn’t feel rushed at all. We just recently moved to MA from CA and will definitely plan for all our pet care here to be at Highland Animal Hospital and provide a shining recommendation.”
“Highly recommend Paws to Consider! We've used them for over a year now for dog walks and they are amazing with communication, scheduling, and providing updates and summaries of walks. Any time I had a last-minute question or schedule change, they were super responsive. Our dog is also reactive, and they were great about introducing new walkers to him so that he was comfortable and working with him on his walks.<br><br>We also used them for dog and cat sitting, and felt so comfortable knowing our animals were being well-cared by the Paws Team in our absence. Moving away, so we're sad to no longer be working with them!”
“We have been using Boston Fetch since the first week of rescuing our dog. They have been reliable, caring, and extremely responsive. We have loved every dog walker we’ve met. Flexible scheduling. Love the app they use to give report cards of each walk with pictures!”
“North Boston Dog Training was absolutely awesome when we needed to board and train our 4 month old puppy last minute. Mike put us in contact with Claudia who ended up training our little Valentino for a couple weeks while we were away. Claudia was incredibly communicative during our trip and send great instructional videos and updates which we have been referencing since we’ve been home. Valentino came home happy and healthy and with a great foundation for such a young pup. This is a great option if you have a puppy and would like to set them up for success, especially if you’re going to be on travel anyways. Claudia was 10/10 highly recommend.”
“I used Boston Dog Butlers for 3 years to walk my dog twice a week and once a week for park play, as well as one off dog walks on the weekends. I recommend them to everyone who lives in the South End. In those 3 years, I never once had a walk cancelled. They are incredibly reliable, kind, and my dog is obsessed with all of his BDB dog and human friends. I’m moving to Cambridge and am SO bummed I won’t be able to use them anymore. 10/10 service and people!”
“I would recommend Good Dog Boston to anyone! Our trainer Jeff was patient, kind, and extremely helpful when working with us and our dog Miley. Miley struggles with reactivity triggered by other dogs and living in downtown Boston makes avoiding other dogs nearly impossible. Jeff provided a tiered program which laid the ground work for Miley's basic obedience and built up to working through her reactivity issues. We have already seen huge improvement in Miley's behavior and all thanks goes to Good Dog Boston!<br><br>Also shoutout to Jeff's furry assistants: Danny, Halo, & Doctor for being the good-est boys and helping their friend Miley with her manners!<br><br>Truly a 5 star experience!”
“Thorough, friendly and professional! My dog wants to go inside every time we walk by.”
“Bonnie (my 7 yo daschund) loves it here. She boards here when we travel. Everyone is so loving towards her.”
“I wish I could give more than five stars! My little angel has literally NEVER looked better! Every other place I’ve taken him has had to shave him down completely, but Jen was able to keep his length while making him so soft and fluffy. The pricing was great, the front desk staff was incredibly kind, and the space itself was clearly designed with a lot of thought and care. We will absolutely be back!”
“Boston for the Dogs and Hannalore have been great for me and my pup Kona! This is my first experience with a dog who needs (and enjoys) consistent tasks, learning and training. BFTD’s real world style classes have helped us so much! Hannalore keeps me honest for when I’m letting Kona get away with too much or conversely not giving her enough credit/trust in the skills we’ve learned.”
“Formerly known as "Corndog" by the Animal Rescue League of Boston (ARL), we adopted Arthur Cornelius on June 29th, 2024. Arthur was surrendered to the ARL with two of his family members at the end of April. Arthur tried to wait patiently for his turn to find his furever home, but it was tough because he loves being with his people. When we met Arthur, it was obvious he was well cared for and how much the ARL staff and volunteers loved him. Despite being in the shelter for about two months, Arthur was friendly and trusting. Today, Arthur is living his best life with his new parents going on lots of adventures. The ARL staff and volunteers are kind, compassionate, and dedicated. In 2023, they facilitated 3,173 adoptions including cats, dogs, small animals like bunnies, and even some livestock! And overall, they helped around 21,000 animals in lots of other ways. Thank you for giving Arthur a second chance to live his best life. I highly recommend the ARL!”
“Every time we bring Grover in, the staff is genuinely happy to see him. They take such great care of him.”
“my 11yo Greyhound Arnie was struggling with separation anxiety. going to daycare has transformed him! he gets to be around other dogs, gets walks and regular attention. he comes home with a spring in his step and jaunty. I so appreciate the care he gets. thank you Jenny and Will for your care of Arnie!!! highly recommend Big Daddy Doggie Daycare”
“The staff are very helpful and kind. I'm so glad I found them! I have complete confidence in what I am told. A very good feeling!”
“The dogs are well cared for and everything is handled with a lot of attention and patience. Gail is knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. You can tell she puts real effort into making sure both the grooming and training are done right. Would definitely recommend.”
“Ruff Translating has been an absolute life saver for me in training my service dog, Mae. The entire team is incredibly kind and knowledgeable. They were able to make recommendations based on my needs and also on the genetics/breed of my dog. I learned so much about dog training, building confidence, and meeting the needs of your dog. I know I could not have trained my dog for service work without them and she is so happy now that she has a job and has more emotional regulation and confidence!”
“Jen cared for my 11 year old hound mutt Biscuit during my 4 day vacation. She sent photos and texts. It allowed me to know the big guy was happy. She’ll be the first person I call before my next vacation!”
“Nothing but love for the staff at this place. I came here as a brand new first time dog owner. My girl was only 13 weeks old and I was still learning the ropes in 2022. Everyone there was not only EXTREMELY kind but eager to help me learn and share there experience with me. My dog was/ is very high strung and I relied heavily on pretty much every service they offered for the first couple of years and they were always there for me. I called them a lot in the first 6-9 months of my adoption with questions and concerns. They were there for me every step of the way even when I probably sounded like a crazy lady asking dumb questions about my dog's eating habits or whatever. My Luna always feels comfortable coming here whenever we get in the car and pull up to the building for anything she never feels anxious no matter the reason for the visit and some of the reasons have been pretty horrific, let me tell you. But I haven't had a bad experience yet that was due to any of the staff. They have been great at reassuring me and helping me to better understand my dog and what she needed to get and stay healthy. I truly love coming here.”
“I've been sending my dog Momo to Tammy and the team at Pondside for over a year now - he gets great attention, treatment and always has a fun time with his friends. Tammy has also provided grooming services that has been super helpful for a tantrum prone corgi. Great value and I know Momo is being well taken care of every time he goes”
“We have used K9 Academy New England for both of our dogs. Matt has worked with them at different stages individually and collectively. He always goes above and beyond to answer questions and he genuinely cares about his craft. I have recommended him to many people and the consensus is the same, HE IS THE BEST. These services are worth every penny, as our dogs are well behaved and we are informed and responsible dog owners, all due to Matt!”
“Wonderful place- our pup is excited to go and ready for a nap after an exciting day of play. If for an overnight, great care and stay is individually curated.”
“Petco Vaccination clinic, it was way better than when we went to a Vetco Clinic. A lot cheaper and the folks were really AWESOME at the Waltham store.<br>Vetco, different story. They messed my dog up and I'm still waiting on what you all are going to do. You say he has Lyme after a blood test, then, you give him meds and shots, i paid a lot of money. You schedule a follow up for 10 days later for what you said was his final Lyme shot but i went there for nothing because you were closed that day. You get that? You have me come back on a day your closed lol. So, i had to go back the next day, when i got there i was told i can't see the vet today. Well, before i left i seen the SO-CALLED VET LOL. Now i was told he doesn't have lyme and doesn't need the final shot. I'm really mad at this point. How do you not know what is going on? I still don't know if he has it or not because i can't afford to have him retested cause i have no money left. Ive called them and they won't talk with me and never call me back. What are you hiding? Now i know why my best friend Wesly was treated so bad and for something he didn't have. They don't care, if they did, we wouldn't have been treated like that and they would have at the least call me.<br>2 employees in the store part of the business heard my mouth and the commotion and after i left they came to me and confirmed how bad they are there. They told me they would never bring their pets there. Never going back nor is anyone i know ever going back after my poor pup was handled like a piece of meat for them to make money. I will never let this go and will keep telling everyone, until they make it right. I'm at the dog parks several times a day telling everyone. They won't even contact me.<br>I used my disability money for that you know. You don't love animals, and you robbed me, a disabled person. So sad!<br><br>Have a blessed day, and my dog Wesley, forgives you.<br><br>I DON'T<br><br>Jezzo :)”
