I've been trying to find a reliable dog groomer in Boston who doesn't charge an arm and a leg, and I've found them! Super professional and efficient. I was running in between appointments and needed them to watch my dog for an extra hour and the staff were super accommodating and understanding. A bath and cut for my dog was about $120 which is an amazing and totally fair price. My dog has been having a lot of mats but the groomer did a great job at untangling and de-matting. My Scottie came back smelling fresh and looked super happy. I was told he was a good dog and had fun playing with the other pups there (which is unheard of due to his r reactive personality). It sounds like they made him feel super comfortable and safe!

Some people hire mobile groomers simply for the convenience--because they come to you. But for the…read morerest of us, a service like this is a lifeline to provide care for a complicated pet, whether the pet is elderly or reactive, or just gets stressed in overwhelming environments like noisy grooming salons. Aussie Mobile is a remarkably well-run, locally-owned business staffed with patient, flexible, and caring groomers. I would give Ian and his staff 10 stars if that were possible. This business is a pet owner's dream and it became a critical component in supporting my Shih Tzu in his elder years. The "business" side of the business is frictionless, run by Ian who knows that it means to provide services to customers, but he also truly has a dog-owner's heart. He cares about the clients he serves. And the grooming staff is wonderful: kind, skilled, and animal-focused. This business is a win for animals and animal families in equal measure.

She is gentle yet efficient, and my dog always looks incredibly handsome after each visit. The holiday-themed accessories he comes home with are an especially fun and thoughtful touch. Brenda is a pleasure to work with--professional, communicative, and accommodating--and her pricing is excellent for the outstanding quality she delivers. The free off-street parking at her location is also a huge convenience. I would recommend Brenda to anyone without hesitation!

After some rough experiences…read morewith previous groomers, we were nervous bringing our dog somewhere new, but Brenda completely changed that. She took the time to work with him at his pace, building trust with so much patience and kindness. Now he's genuinely excited to see her and is so much more comfortable with the entire grooming process. What really stands out is how much she truly cares. She goes beyond just grooming--she shares helpful recommendations for products, gives us tips on how to keep him comfortable at home, and even flags things like skin concerns early so we can stay on top of them. On top of that, she's always punctual, super responsive, and just a genuinely warm and funny person. We feel so lucky to have found her and would recommend her to everyone.

Their love of animals is genuine, they understand them and my dogs are ready to strut their stuff down the runway, uh, I mean sidewalk.

The staff are all amazing and do so well with the dogs - you can tell they are passionate about taking care of the pups. They're also extremely nice and accommodating. I can tell they really love my pup. My dog is a little guy and he loves playing with the big dogs, and I trust he is safe in river dogs hands. He plays the entire time he is there, he comes home exhausted which I appreciate added a long busy day I love that they're open 6 am- 7pm - it's handy for my long days at work. There's always street parking available too. Definitely recommend River dogs if you are looking for a day care for your pup! The price is also pretty good compared to other day cares in the area/cambridge!

Finding a daycare for your furbaby that FEELS right is tough: some are too expensive, some are too…read moremuch like a kennel, some have facilities that you don't like, some do a lot of crating, some are poorly staffed, the list is endless... Dogs for Days is none of these things. It checks all the boxes you need: clean, affordable, safe, staff that loves your baby like they're one of their own pups, 24/7 staffing, and CAGE FREE -this one is really important because there are a lot of places that advertise hotel suites for your dogs but honestly those are just fancy-looking kennels... great if your pup is into that and is comfortable sleeping alone, not so great if your pup is used to snuggling with you in bed - ANYWAY, I digress. We started at Dogs for Days when our puppy was about 9 months old, and when it was still Paws Up - our doggie loved it, we liked it but we weren't thrilled. We were thinking about switching to another daycare when Nick and Michelle took over. Katie, one of the staff, told us that these new owners (whom we hadn't met yet) were amazing and truly dog lovers. Okay we thought, let's stick around and see how this turns out. THANK GOD THAT WE DID. In the last 4-5 months, Nick and Michelle have created a place that we honest to God would be lost without. They, and their staff, go above and beyond to make sure that you feel 200% comfortable leaving your dog with them for a few hours to a few days (or more!). They will text you pictures, give you updates, email you, facetime you, whatever you need when you're away from your baby. Unfortunately this year our puppy Mila turned 1 the same weekend we had to be out of town. What did Dogs for Days do? Well I'll let you look at the pictures and see for yourself - birthday bandana, a handmade birthday sign, and constant updates to let us know that she was having a wonderful time. These are the types of little things they'll do that are truly wonderful. They didn't need to do this but they did it because they knew how much it meant to us - probably more than it meant to Mila haha I've personally seen Michelle work with a family who had a dog with a disability to help them socialize the pup and make sure he (or maybe she) has a happy and well-socialized doggie life. Could they have just turned the family away as so many other daycares would do? Probably, but they didn't and that's what matters. When a dog in the area that they knew went missing, Nick was out there every day helping to find him (don't worry they found him so it's a happy ending!). My point is that it's very hard to find people who understand your connection to your dog(s). Dogs, cats, other pets...they're family. And when you have to leave them for work or a weekend or for whatever reason, you want to feel like they'll be treated like family. We leave Mila during the week week knowing that she is going to have a great time, that if something happens she'll be in good hands, and that she's happy - which makes us happy. We leave her for longer periods - weekends - knowing that she can sprawl out on a couch or bed surrounded by other dogs and most importantly, A PERSON. We know that she won't be scared in a kennel all by herself, and that if something goes wrong there is always someone there for her. Although full disclosure I still cry every time we have to leave her. If you're anything like us (and I suspect you are if you've read this very long review about a doggy daycare), then your dog is like your baby and Dogs for Days is the best for your baby.
