We have had Lauren walk our dog since he was 12 weeks old. Her walker has helped train him and socialize him. It's like having a nanny for your dog. We also trust her team when traveling. We know that Lambeau is always safe and cared for when we are away. Her rates are reasonable and Lambeau is always exhausted after his day with his friends. I've been home a few times when he is being picked up, he can't wait to get in the car. Lauren and the Regal Beagle is a top quality business that truly cares for your dog. I'm so grateful to have them taking care of Lambeau.

She is also incredibly flexible so if I am able to be home last minute to take my dog out, they she has no issues if I call them off for the day. My dog comes home exhausted from the running around that Lauren does with her. she has also helped me with training my dog as well and whipped her into shape and far as listening to all the commands.

Also, Lauren has taken my puppy for the weekend and she came back well rested and very happy:). I am always very comfortable leaving my dog in her care. Karen L

We had moved and needed to find a new dog walking service for while we were at work during the day. After making what seemed like a million calls, I found OBH. OBH is totally full service, picking up the dogs, and dropping them home-while also taking them for 4-5 hours daily on adventures. Our dog jumps off the bed each morning as soon as he hears the van in the driveway. Their service is affordable, even more affordable than most dog walking services that are for 30-60 minutes. You cannot get better bang for your buck. There is a yearbook every Christmas, which is so cute and funny. We will be moving again, and won't be able to access OBH, but are so thrilled to have found them for the past few years. Can't recommend calling them enough!

Hands down, the best dog walking service in Boston... actually, the best anywhere that I've found!…read moreI met Michelle and Claudia a few years ago when I got my lab puppy, and knew that I wanted and needed someone special to care for my little babby when I wasn't around. First, the fact that they literally stand by their name, One Dog At a Time, is the most comforting thing in the world to me... There's no pile of dogs waiting to jump all over my guy when they bring him out - there's no dragging the dog by the leash because the other dogs won't stop - there's no concern about whether he actually went to the bathroom or not - as Michelle and Claudia actually walk ONE DOG AT A TIME! That makes me and our boy so happy that the attention is on him, and not distracted by a bunch of other dogs. Second, is the fact that Michelle and Claudia are dog owners and truly dog lovers to the bone, I know that Sollie is getting love and attention, and he's not just another dog on their list of dogs. I drove by Ringgold park and saw Michelle sitting on a bench with Sollie, cuddling and massaging his face. Sollie's tail was thumping out a beat that could be heard across the park, and it made me smile from ear to ear to see my boy getting spoiled like that. So instead of worrying about your dog being walked as part of a mass pile of dogs, and instead of wondering if your dogs got a great walk where they were able to go to the bathroom and get some personal attention, leave all that behind and call Michelle and Claudia. The best dog walkers, hands down!!!

brought my dog to this place as a recommendation from our old daycare when we were moving to…read moreBoston. our old daycare was phenomenal- would pair dogs based o energy level/age and really incorporate positive reinforcement/training into the daycare. We miss them every day since moving. my experience with mindful mutt is that they do not actually care about the dogs - they seem lazy and did not want to watch dogs. simply wanted to throw them in a room together. well, being that my dog is very playful they did not appreciate that and told me he is not allowed to com back. I reached out to my old daycare to explain and they let me know the mindful mutt recently switched hands. seems it is going more corporate day care route - hiring inexperienced staff who don't care much about dogs at all. sad , would not recommend

So you can imagine over the years... we have spent thousands at this place for her daycare, puppy training class, occasional grooming, and most recently also boarded her for our recent trip for a few days when we had no family/friends available. SCREENING - standard vaccines aside (rabies, kennel cough, distemper, etc) they also requires the Canine Influenza. Even with the kennel cough vax, Juneau managed to catch it 2x when she first started (of course always during the most inconvenient times). Most likely because during her puppyhood, she attended daycare 3-4x/week! Now that she's an adult she goes about 1x/week. They called me urgently to get her but I was in meetings all day. Since I lived nearby they actually dropped her off to stop the spread. There is always risk when exposing your dog to an environment with other dogs. Several instances when Juneau returned, she had goopy eyes so who knows what she got herself into. I'm not sure if they give dogs in the same group treats for "Birthday Parties", since she's come home with diarrhea a couple of times too. LOGISTICS - They are regimented and organized. Before booking, I'd recommend looking through their website thoroughly for costs/procedures. They've itemized a list of things that could incur extra fees (i.e. midday feeding). I've seen inside only when we took puppy classes with K9East, but they have a large facility for indoor/outdoor space. Every other month they seem to send an email update with a growing list of housekeeping reminders about how to drop off/pick up the dog. They seem to have different prices and minimums depending on the time of the year for boarding plus lots of add-ons that may interest you. COST - They market themselves as "luxury" so definitely not the most frugal option. They are reliable, provide good quality care and are the closest distance wise for us. You can prepay bulk packages to get 14% off 20, or 10% off 10 to save. They raised the price from $38 to $42/day since we joined at the beginning of 2022, which isn't too bad. However, the cost of overnight boarding increased drastically from $60 to $90/night for dogs 13+ lbs! This already feels like a mid-range hotel minus the taxes. I imagine if you have a large dog you'd need to shell out for the $105+/night options. Overnight boarding includes 1 day of daycare at full price $42, so if you just book 1 night it will be a minimum of ~$130. DAYCARE - they evaluate the dogs to determine what group(s) to place them in and whether they will be a good fit. When our Barkbuster's trainer called them up apparently Juneau is often very excited and needs to be walked around the premises before being allowed to enter the playgroup. For safety they remove all collars put them back on once you pick up the pup. It's a nice feature that the GingrApp website allows them to intake client info and make reservations. They also will attach a "Report Card" with 3-6 photos (rare occasion video) and 3 descriptors for their demeanor during the day. It is disappointing when 20~30% of the photos are super blurry. I know it's hard to photograph active dogs indoors on the go! They must be super organized to be able to identify lookalikes! BOARDING - you need to individually bag each portion of your dog's meal so the staff can easily feed the dogs or a fee of $5/day bulk food will be applied. Aside from the food packing and private 4'x6' suite, there isn't a discernable difference between what happens at daycare and boarding from the report card. They lump all the pics into one and there aren't different comments for the days that get pulled in. I imagine just the last daycare demeanor gets attached. I do wonder what is the calming music they play :) for the pups. GROOMING - Juneau's received a few baths due to our own laziness. I imagine they need to use a neutral scented shampoo. I didn't love the faint scent nor feel that value outweighed doing it ourselves. One of the times they did send her home with an adorable Christmas colored bandana! EXTRA - You can spoil your dog and add a "Birthday Party" package. I missed attaching it in 2021 due to some communication confusion. 2022, I added and it looks like she probably had fun! The staff took 20 additional photos inside, but sadly they were mostly blurry :( so won't be rebuying. I always look forward to the last week in October when they have the Howl-o-Ween festivities. The first year Juneau took part she got a fun chew toy prize so not sure if she didn't stand out in 2021. Overall a great place to trust your dog with a caring team!
