I sent my dog Lainey to the Daily Stroll for daycare (specifically the small dog location) for a year before we moved. The staff at TDS is amazing and they truly know and care for each dog. It gave me such peace of mind to leave my dog for the day at a place where I knew she would be so well taken care of. One of the saddest parts of moving for us was leaving this amazing place. Lainey always had the best time there. I also appreciated some of the fun extras like the photo shoots (pictured). This place is great, and I cannot recommend their daycare enough! read more

The staff at TDS are exceptional. They are kind, dependable and most importantly love the dogs they care for. My dog loves them.

I was VERY disappointed in the grooming at the Daily Stroll. I gave very specific instructions on how to cut our Westie and returned to find him shaved...just shaved! No grooming around his face or skirt. Although I live a half mile from this place, I now drive to Newton for my dog's grooming. read more

I brought my dog there for grooming on July 3. The dog was wearing a collar with several tags, including one with name and phone number, her dog license, a tag with her microchip number. They lost the collar, including tags, and did not offer to refund the significant cost of replacing everything read more

Daily Stroll is a wonderful place for your dogs. I have used boarding, grooming and walking service for my senior chocolate lab. He is so well taken care of. I love the care all of the handlers take. I want to especially give Alexis a shout out -- she coordinates walking services. My dog is head over heels in love with her and all the other walkers. read more

Dear Bryn, In response to your update, another one of my concerns was that no one informed me that my 4-month-old puppy would be denied water all day; it was only when I questioned someone about it after finding this out through someone who lives in my neighborhood and witnessing my dog appear in distress. Your company's original answer in 2020 as to why the dogs were denied water was different from the reply you just posted to my page today. If you have changed your practices, I think that is great, but don't be disingenuous about it. I have also heard a lot of concerns about Daily Stroll staff having more dogs than they can handle at playgroups at the park in Oak Square. read more

We've been taking our dog ever since she was a puppy and The Daily Stroll and its staff have gone above and beyond to give her the best care possible. We recommend TDS to pretty much all folks who are in search of a daycare! They hold regular events such as ice cream socials, meetups, and so on! A special shout out to the Allston branch (where our dog goes). We're especially thankful to Eric who's become nothing short of one of pup's favorite people in the world! read more

I'm so grateful for the Daily Stroll! They have three locations in the Allston/Brookline area, which has been great to access on the way to/from work. The communication across locations is great - for example, I can drop my pup off at one location, and they will walk him over to the groomers and bring him back to drop-off location. My pup also loves boarding with Ana - I try to not get too jealous, but I know he's more excited to see Ana more than me sometimes! She's great with sending pictures and updates when he's boarding with her. Highly recommend! read more

The Daily Stroll has been a life-saver for me and my family. We took in our puppy (Moro) when my human daughter just turned one, and caring for both of them at home was quite the challenge! We were so thankful to find that TDS offered a puppy room, so that my fur baby was able to get socialization and care before she was ready to join the rest of the pack. Initially, we were working with potty training and socialization. The staff at TDS went above and beyond with helping carry-over potty training. Due to our circumstances, Moro was initially trained to potty indoors and had developed an aversion of going potty outside - she would even hold for 5-6 hours when we were outdoors at the age of 2 months! She also had a lot of excitement/nervous peeing issues initially. Eric was very supportive and encouraging, including making sure that she was brought out on potty breaks with another dog that would likely go potty so that she saw that it was ok to do. He has also been very accommodating to my routine for my puppy to minimize her excitement/nervous peeing at drop-off. Nicole has been great with keeping me updated on her progress when I go pick her up. She was just as proud of Moro as I was, when she would actually pee or poop during her walks and when she had fewer accidents throughout the day. Due to our schedule recently, we have been picking Moro up fairly late and we are grateful for Andrew continuing to watch and play with her. We bumped into him recently in the street on our walk and she was so happy to see him. We have only had positive experiences with TDS and their staff. It is so great to see how the staff enjoys and knows all the dogs so well, which makes it comforting to know that she is having a great time and that the staff cares for Moro as much as we do! read more

I recently took my pup to this establishment for the first time due to a recommendation. When I picked my dog up after his grooming appointment. I was told the top of his head was hard to do because he wouldn't let her continue. I reassured her that it was fine and I paid. We walked Into the car and I drove off . My dog jumped in front and that's when I realized his paw was bleeding. You can tell his nail was cut too short I called and emailed to let them know and no one has yet to respond or even acknowledge the mistake. Honesty is key I didn't know if it was cut too deep or if something else happened I was truly concerned and just wanted answers NEVER WILL I BRING MY DOG HERE AGAIN read more

The Daily Stroll & staff are amazing!!! My BFF (best furry friend) seems to absolutely love it here! The first doggie day that I brought Jeb to was fine, but every time we'd show up, he'd start shaking uncontrollably and try to run back to me and avoid the staff-- Jeb is NOT a shy guy. After dropping him off my stomach would be in knots on the drive to work. I decided to get in touch with the daily stroll, they are less than 10 mins from my office(as opposed to an hour), so I felt better knowing that he was close. What a difference the daily stroll made: Jebby is pumped for daycare! When we get there, we are warmly greeted by the staff. Literally everyone has been kind and FUN and responsible and informative. Jeb forgets I'm in the room when I drop him off! His tail wags with happiness as the staff takes him to see his friends! When I return after work, I'm greeted by a happy pupper, who looks like he just had a GREAT day. When we get home Jeb is all tuckered out and ready for some serious cuddles! We've been using TDS since the beginning of the year and will continue to do so... happily! Special shout-out to Emma and the guy who is at the comm Ave location late morning!! read more

I want to thank Lydia for doing such an amazing job grooming my pup Lexi! Lexi has not been professionally groomed in over a year and I was nervous about having her groomed again as she is squirmy being brushed and having her fur trimmed at home. The staff answered all of my questions and listened to my concerns. I think I was more nervous than Lexi! She was done in about 1.5 hrs and got the exact cut that I had requested. Lexi has been strutting her stuff all day and I can tell she feels really good! read more

The Daily Stroll - Lexi before and after! - Dog Walkers Near Me - Brookline, Massachusetts

This place is simply the best. Their open floor plan is perfect for my small, anxious rescue dog who's terrified of new people & enclosed spaces. All of the staff are warm and caring. Pipa clamors to get out of the car when we pull up in the morning, which is a testament to the lengths the staff have gone to make her feel safe and loved. She's also become much more comfortable around other dogs and walks better on leash. Also, the great hours are a relief for those of us who have to stay at the office well past five. read more

Ana Maria watched my dog for me while I was on vacation. He has been a member of the Daily Stroll daycare for almost a year now. He had a lovely time, and Daily Stroll made sure to send me photo updates of him each day. I will definitely be sure to have Ana Maria watch my dog again in the future! read more

I'm currently on the hunt for two pups and was referred to their adoption program. They set me up for a meet and great with 10 or so amazing potential future 'children'. Although I haven't yet found the pups (brother and sister preferably) that I'm looking for I had a really good time with the dogs and the staff who were really accommodating to my in-depth questioning. I visited their Brookline location which is really nice and I'm excited to return to check out the next batch of pups. Good to mention that they have really nice space for the dogs to play (if you are thinking about daycare) and they also looked to have a pretty good grooming service. I def. recommend checking them out for adoption and look forward to babysitting once I'm back in the office. Cheers! read more

The Daily Stroll - Favorite dog so far! - Dog Walkers Near Me - Brookline, Massachusetts

Our dog has been with TDS for daycare for almost 3 years now, and we are really happy with their services. What I love about TDS is their staff keep an eye on the dogs at all times, so if any dogs get hostile towards another, they are stopped immediately. That's why some other reviews here mentioned staff yelling at dogs. To me, misbehaviors deserve to be stopped so all other dogs are safe, so I'm totally fine with that. Another reason why dogs are yelled at is because sometimes they bark relentlessly, and neighbors have complained. I also think that's reasonable. To address another reviewer's comment that the walks are short, that's absolutely not true. I live quite a few blocks from TDS and have seen their staff walking dogs often. read more

I've been bringing my dog here for years. They're quick, efficient, reasonable, and flexible. What more could you want?

Very disappointed with my first and last grooming there Handled poorly after I expressed to the groomer it's not what I wanted. Front desk staff is the only reason I gave 2 stars and not 1. read more

My dog, Beau, absolutely adores Andrew. Andrew treats Beau like his own and gives him so much love. We keep coming back to the Allston location for Eric and Andrew, for their warm greetings in the morning and for the great feedback about the day. read more

I reached out to TDS on phone and via email numerous times about grooming my puppy who will require regular grooming (every six/seven weeks), and I never received a response. I can only assume they are not taking new clients, but the courtesy of a response would have been appreciated. read more

Called earlier today asking if I could come in for a walk in nail trim. Was told yes, they accept walk ins and I could come anytime before 5pm today. Spent 30 minutes driving there to be told no sorry we can't do a nail trim. I told the ladies what I was told on the phone and their excuses was that they had cats being groomed and the groomer was not from here. Absolutely horrible customer service and a waste of my time. Will not be going here again and will actively tell people to avoid this place! read more

We've had success with our pup,Roxy, over the past 18 months at the DS. With Britney as our key person, our pup really enjoys the daycare they provide for her. We left Roxy for a long weekend with Britney in October and everything went smooth- from drop off to return, it went very well - and we will be doing it again for a long weekend in March. read more

The Daily Stroll has been amazing with my dog! She is very shy and hesitant to go with people she doesn't know but Eric has done such a great job with her! When I drop her off now she can't wait to see all the staff and runs straight to Eric for belly rubs!!! I would recommend them to anyone, especially those with nervous pets! read more

I took our golden doodle puppy for his first haircut - he is almost 7 months. He had a ton of "puppy fur" and I was reluctant to get him groomed, because I loved his coat, but it was time. I also was a little concerned for him, since it was his first time at the groomer. When I picked him up I was completely impressed by the great job Cecelia (Celia? Please forgive me for not being sure of the groomers name) did - our doodle came out just beautifully. I am completely happy with the service I received, and I thought the $75 fee was very reasonable - thank you!! read more

My boyfriend was told to wait outside for 15 minutes for them to receive our dog and we are so glad he did. What he saw during that time was absolutely appalling. There was a sweet golden retriever puppy, who we saw the first time we came (this is our second), who was getting yelled at. The caretaker slammed her fist repeatedly on the desk and was screaming at the golden puppy to be quiet. This is NEVER acceptable. He also saw that the "walk" that the dogs go on is a walk to a patch of grass in the middle of a BUSY, HEAVILY TRAFFICKED road, where they pee and are promptly taken back. How is that a walk? We are never bringing our dog back and we hope anyone else thinks twice before bringing their babies here. Our dog was trembling when we approached the building for his second day care session. Now we know why. We did think it was strange that the owner kept telling us how loud and annoying he was after his first time (he is only 5 months old.) After seeing what was happening to the golden retriever puppy, I have no doubt these people also yelled and intimidated our dog. If people are trusting and paying you to take care of their loved ones, why are you guys not capable of treating dogs appropriately? To other dog owners: turn away. This establishment is such a poorly run one. Their booking website doesn't even work properly. read more

I bring my dog here once a week and I don't worry about him at all because I know he's in such good hands. He actually can sense when we are close and he starts to pull harder on the leash to get inside. He has a condition where he can't control his water intake (so sad he had a traumatic upbringing), but The Daily Stroll manages it so well. He was asked not to come back to a different daycare because of it, but The Daily Stroll welcomed him with open arms. I also got him groomed there once and they did an amazing job! Better than a lot of other places I've been. My dog is very difficult when it comes to grooming, but they handled him so well and he looked great. I'm surprised people had negative comments about it, but to each their own. I really love The Daily Stroll and so does my dog. Wouldn't take him any other place. My dog totally wiped himself out there from playing all day and the other dogs there seem great. The staff is so friendly as well! read more

Love the Daily Stroll! We have had exceptional service for our two dogs from Eric who clearly loves dogs and is very skilled with them. Highly recommend! read more

Overall everyone seemed friendly enough with the animals and owners at drop off/pick up but the way this place is run is a hazard. The "play groups" don't have nearly enough attendants for the amount of dogs they have. I once had a friend text me because she saw my pup at the park without anyone. Well turns out that's because they had left him there with a bunch of other dogs with no supervision while they grabbed even more dogs. Not to mention they have taken dogs with known aggression without a care for other peoples safety. I'd also been told by a worker I'm not sure is still there that if I wanted my other dog to enjoy herself not to bring it to the little dog location like I was planning(she gets nervous with some larger dogs). This is because apparently at that location the dogs are expected to be silent and will get yelled at or sprayed with water for barking because it disrupts the neighbors. Why put a dog daycare somewhere that is noise sensitive. I had also inquired about grooming a while back but chose not to use their services after seeing it's treated pretty much like another daycare instead of a spa. There's dogs running around everywhere and just seems like a super chaotic environment for dogs to get groomed especially when I assume most dogs don't like it to begin with like mine. They also don't check any vaccination or vet records in the grooming department which really threw me off as every salon I've went to has at least asked for proof of one or 2 vaccines. This makes me question the safety of the animals there because all it takes is one sick dog to spread it around when they are all playing. read more

We love the Daily Stroll's doggie daycare. Don't let the negative grooming reviews give you a less than positive impression of this place. Our pup, Kai, started going to the Daily Stroll at 4 months and we have only stopped recently because we moved a little too far away. We took Kai to the Allston location, so I can't speak for the Brookline location. It is not a glamorous facility, so if that's what you're looking for, it might not be up your alley, but they take exceptionally good care of their dogs. I had a lot of trouble finding a good place for Kai because the "glamorous" locations with shiny signs and fancy scheduling systems often did not seem to do a very good job of taking care of or supervising dogs. The Daily Stroll on the other hand has an enormous amount of space. At the Allston location they have separate areas when dogs need to be split up but they don't crate which I really like. There are always very conscientious staff on hand. Sometimes we would go a few weeks in between visits but whoever was there, even folks I hadn't met before, knew Kai and his traits and generally how to handle him. Also, their pricing is very competitive, their scheduling system is flexible, and their payment system is easy to use. read more

Disappointing groomer. I have had bad experiences with her before too (when she shaved my dog) but once after that she did fine and so I went again today. First thing, my dog started shivering after seeing her and walking backwards which is a horrible sign. Then she tells me he has matting which are a few, each smaller than a penny, and she was going to suggest shaving again and I left immediately. I'm still confused what she has done to my dog that makes him scared of him months after. read more

TDS is absolutely amazing. I send my dog, Dakota, roughly 2-3 times a week and she has such an amazing time. Every time she gets home after a day at daycare, she passes out immediately and always runs up to the door the next time we go! Britney is the best and never fails to send me update pictures and is always there to answer my questions. I couldn't imagine taking my puppy anywhere else. read more

We love the Daily Stroll!! Britney and the rest of the staff take such good care of our little pup and we feel so secure leaving her in their care. read more

The Daily Stroll is amazing! We have been bringing our pup there since she was first adopted from Aruba. While the transition was hard, folks from the Daily Stroll welcomed her, loved her and now she runs in the door upon arrival. Our dog is especially attached to Britney that works at the small dog location. Brittney welcomes Ari with hugs everyday and treats Ari as though it was her own pup. Love this place and love Brittney! read more

TDS is excellent, I cannot recommend it enough. They are extremely flexible with scheduling, and I love that boarding my dog means they go home with a manager, rather than being put in a kennel. Every single employee has been wonderful to work with. Assistant manager Britney is excellent, my pup loves boarding with her. It is great to know my dog is in great hands with TDS. read more

We are very happy with The Daily Stroll for daycare and grooming. We have been using TDS for daycare for a little over a year. I love dropping Bentley off to excited greetings by TDS staff. They keep a close eye on the pups at all times and I trust that Bentley is well cared for. I really appreciate that the staffing is relatively consistent without a ton of turnover, they seem to know the dogs' personalities and behaviors well. Special shout out to Britney for always being such a warm presence and showering Bentley with love. As someone who works Sundays I wish they had weekend hours! read more

The Daily Stroll has been outstanding for our young pup. We searched around a few places in town when we were looking for daycare options, and landed at The Daily Stroll after a wonderful first visit with Brittany at the 405 Harvard Street location. We love that the location is for small dogs, and we couldn't be happier with our experience with The Daily Stroll. Our pup Annie runs towards the door when we arrive in the morning -- it's easy to see that the staff treat Annie and the other dogs like their own, with lots of love and attention. I also like that Annie gets to go on daily walks with the staff. The experience has helped her socialize and grow into a confident pup. Annie comes home at the end of the day happy and tired. We are so grateful for everyone at The Daily Stroll for making daycare safe, flexible, fun, and an overall great experience for Annie and our family. read more

Love The Daily Stroll. If your looking for a no-fuss, reliable and friendly dog walking service in the Brookline/Allston/Brighton area then look no further. The daily stroll is basically a one stop shop. They walk my dog twice a week and groom her when she needs it. They also have other services like doggie daycare, but I do not use this. I can tell they actually care about their customers and their pets. They are very professional and rates are reasonable. Will be keeping my business here for as long as I am in the area. Thanks Bryn and The Daily Stroll for making my doggie care needs easy & convenient. read more

The staff at the Daily Stroll go above and beyond making sure our pup is safe and happy at playgroup every day. We often get fun notes saying that Luna (our dog) had so much fun, who her BFF was at playgroup, and what games she liked to play (in addition to if she went #1 or 2, or both). They've been able to accommodate my schedule as needed, are highly responsive, and always keep us updated if anything comes up with Luna while she's in their care. My dog is very nervous while getting her nails clipped (and quite dramatic) and the daily stroll has made sure that she's well taken care of - even making sure she has her anti-anxiety meds well in advance of her nail trims, while still making sure she can play with her friends in the morning! They're amazing. Bryn and her staff are fantastic, trustworthy, and reliable and we're so lucky to have found TDS! read more

Have been taking our little girl Bella to The Daily Stroll for a few years now and haven't been disappointed. They know her by name and know the haircut we like her to have! Bella gets scared of bigger dogs and is apprehensive on going into the store but its no different than me going to the dentist, I don't want to go - but I am glad I went afterwards! I notice the staff caring for the other dogs getting groomed and are confident they are treat every dog with respect. Nothing but positive things to say about the entire staff at The Daily Stroll, thanks so much! read more
