I…read moreshudder to think of the experience our dogs endure when separated from their owners and entrusted to this establishment's care. Upon reaching out for services, I encountered a receptionist, Lynne, or onboarding staff member who exhibited inflexibility and lacked clarity regarding the availability of days for my dog's care. Despite claiming to be "almost at capacity on Tuesdays and Thursdays," they were evasive about providing alternative days, showing a prioritization of their convenience over accommodating paying customers like myself. Moreover, they failed to establish a designated time for pickup or drop-off, leaving me to initiate communication for this vital information. Their response indicated a vague pickup window of "probably between 9:45 and 10:15." On the day of service, despite providing my precise address, including apartment number, and contact number well in advance, I received a call from the receptionist at 10:38 a.m., exceeding the initially provided pickup window. By the time I reached the designated spot, the driver, who coincidentally was also the owner Neal, had already departed. Upon contacting the receptionist, I was met with the explanation that the driver "waited for a second and then had to leave because he was on schedule." However, their scheduling should have allowed for minor delays, especially considering the substantial one-hour pickup windows already established. Furthermore, the receptionist attempted to shift blame onto me, stating that the driver was unaware of my apartment complex and lacked my direct contact information. This assertion is unfounded, as I had provided detailed information including my apartment number, and the receptionist had my contact details on record. Their refusal to take responsibility and insistence on blaming the customer instead of acknowledging their organizational shortcomings is disappointing, particularly for a business claiming 20 years of experience. As this incident occurred on our first day of service, I expected a modicum of grace and professionalism. However, the receptionist's conduct and subsequent blame-shifting left much to be desired. Their assumption that all customers reside in single-family homes further underscores their lack of consideration for varying circumstances. Based on this experience, I cannot in good faith recommend this business, and I am relieved that my dog was not subjected to their care. Update to review: I received an email from the owner, Neal, with an apology about the incident and not seeing the apartment number. I appreciate the follow-up and i think its a good learning experience for everyone."

We were looking for a doggy daycare due to our dogs isolation anxiety. When we called, happy dog,…read moreit was clear the owner loves dogs and loves what she does. She let us know about nap time and was willing to accommodate anything he needed if he was not able to rest independently. (He did great and Michelle was on top of his need the first day). We were able to get in for an interview/temperament test within a week even around a holiday And once we passed, we able to start right away. The owner is very responsive to any questions or concerns you have. Her staff love the dogs and your furry friend gets a big hello upon arrival. Our pup comes home happy but tired and ready for cuddles and rest. Also, the packages they offer are extremely fair and worth it. Thank you Happy Dog!

The first time I brought my dog for a boarding experience here, it was absolutely wonderful. I…read moreinteracted with a young woman who was absolutely lovely to talk to, very kind and clearly cares a lot about the dogs. At the end of the stay, my dog came home exhausted and happy, and I got to see some awesome pictures of his stay. The second time I brought my dog here a few months later, I was met by Michelle, the owner (she hadn't been there the first time when I dropped off, or during the temperament test). I will admit that I made a couple of mistakes here -- I was 15 minutes later than my anticipated drop-off time (but still within the drop-off window), and while I had seen an email from her when I booked my reservation, I missed the line at the bottom of the email with the link for my confirmation, and so I missed the info that was included through that link about how to prepare his food. This is entirely my mistake, I dropped the ball there by being distracted so I missed some important information that I should've known in advance. However, when I arrived with my dog, Michelle was clearly very irritated with me from the get-go. I apologized for being late, and tried to hand her my dog's food (I had put his meals in individual ziplock bags trying to make it easier, and put these inside a plastic container with his name and instructions written on it). Michelle scolded me for bringing a container and said she couldn't accept it; she took the ziplocks out and then scolded me for not writing his name on each bag, for separating out his food when they could have done it, for "bringing rawhide treats" even when I clarified that they were completely rawhide-free (she still refused to take them), for bringing his daily medication in his pill bottle (I had used an old pill bottle of his so it would have his name and dose on it, but she kept telling me she "couldn't be responsible for getting it back to me" even though I told her that was perfectly fine), etc etc. No matter how many times I tried to apologize and own up to my novice mistakes, she just kept circling and circling with her complaints. Now, I'll admit that I'm pretty sensitive and anxiously attached to my dog, and I was so shocked that I began to tear up as she continued to scold me (this feels so strange to write as a grown woman!). Michelle either didn't take a breath to notice or else just didn't care. I completely and wholeheartedly understand that she is running a serious business here, and takes the health and safety of our dogs very seriously which is why she has these rules. I am GLAD they have these rules. However, after I apologized the first 10-15 times and told her I understood, that I hadn't been told any of this the first time my dog boarded there so I didn't realize; I would expect her to ease up. I myself work as a manager at a preschool center, so a somewhat similar field, and I cannot IMAGINE ever talking to a parent/client the way she spoke to me. After she took my dog from me mid-scolding and left me standing at the door shocked and without getting to say goodbye before my first real time being away from my dog, I ended up sitting in my car for another 10 minutes just trying to compose myself. To top it off, my boyfriend was the one picking my dog up the next afternoon; he was coming directly from working in NYC, and was worried about traffic, so around 4:45 he called on his way to let her know his ETA was 5:45 but wanted to let her know JUST in case traffic pushed it past 6:00; Michelle told him firmly "You can get here anytime between 5 and 6." This feels like a pretty rude reaction to someone who is calling you well in advance as a precaution. In the end he did arrive around 5:45, but was reprimanded for not having our dog's leash (since he was coming from out of state, I'd think it's pretty obvious why that happened, but thankfully our dog is small enough to be carried). Happy Dog Pet Resort is excellent with dogs. The other staff that I met were friendly, kind, and compassionate. My dog was very happy there. Unfortunately, it's the owner Michelle that completely soured the experience for me and has left me looking for a new daycare center. I can't justify leaving my favorite being on the planet again with someone that could be so cold and compassionless.

ADDA is FABULOUS! I…read morecan't say enough about the owners and staff...and the doggies! I was invited to ADDA by their staff after having my small dog in training there with Springforth Dog Training (Katherine is a great trainer, by the way). It took me a while, as it was out of my way on the way to work, but I wasn't happy with the daycare she was in near Weymouth Landing, so I tried them....and my dog has been with them ever since! (almost 2 years) For those of you who like detailed reviews, read on. For those of you who don't, they definitely get 5 stars from me! They have great customer service, the facility is new, and the dogs are fantastic. And the staff is very attention: they noticed my dog's dew claws were almost going into her paw last year....I didn't even know what a dew claw was! I had just had her at the groomer who didn't notice. ADDA saved me a vet visit and bill...and my dog a lot of pain! *** FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO LIKE DETAILS: - Caring and attentive staff: They LOVE the dogs and prioritize them over anything. - Customer service: Staff greet you at your car and take the dog inside for you and have your dog ready to go when you arrive. They nap and feed your dog if you want, and respond to emails or calls within 24 hours. They go the extra mile. - Facility: State of the art small indoor and outdoor daycare on the owner's premises in a natural environment. Doggie doors between the indoors / outdoors. Dutch doors prevent escapes (you know small dogs can be escape artists!). They even added overhead lines to prevent hawks from coming into the outdoor pen. - The Dogs: They're all fabulous, small dogs who play together all day but can curl up on an oversized chair when tired. - They document everything that happens and let you know if they notice something. - Location: The location is off the beaten path if you're a Boston commuter or don't live nearby. There's a beautiful pond across the street, so it's beautiful when you get there. For me, bringing my dog there adds an extra 45 minutes to an hour-long morning commute, and their closing time is 6:30 so I just make it in time. My dog is usually the last one there, so I doubt they have many Boston commuters. The only suggestion I would make to them are if they want more dogs is to experiment staying open until 7:00 for Boston commuters IF they want more dogs. It would make a huge difference if a staff person is willing to stay and if it's worth it to them to get more business. BUT I ONLY MENTION THIS BECAUSE I STILL BRING MY DOG THERE WITH THE ADDITIONAL COMMUTE TIME and I hope to have my dog there as long as I can do that! So that should tell you something about these folks...they're wonderful. I tout their services to all small dog owners, and I never worry about my dog being there because I know she's safe, happy, and exercising and getting tired, which is the whole reason I bring her! Do try it out!
