At Bark Around Boston, LLC and our sister company, Ruff Life Resort, LLC we`re focused on forming a relationship built on trust and comraderie with your dog with the added benefit of a rural environment allowing for decompression from the city and incorporating engaging outdoor experiences.
✅ Transport is only on Monday/Thursday in the Greater Boston area to plan more efficiently for staff, travel and have better off-site experiences. This does alter for holidays falling on Monday, transport swaps to Tuesday.
✅ No transportation fees when pick-up/drop-off occurs on Monday/Thursday. If an alternate pick-up or drop-off day is needed, and we can accommodate, the cost is $80 (each way) in addition to regular boarding fees.
✅No more holiday or peak fees.
✅We will continue to have all inclusive pricing and no processing or credit card fees.
Your pup will be riding in our custom Ford Transit AWD with dedicated heating, cooling, and Ruffland Kennels for safety.
Adventure Boarding
Bark Around Boston, LLC`s unique boarding experience is centered around our sister company, Ruff Life Resort, and provides experiences which cater to all of your dog`s needs instead of just the basics. The pups in our care have access to daily hikes, treadmills, scent/seeking games, free running in a fully enclosed yard, and much more to ensure that they stay happy, healthy, and entertained! We also welcome dogs that may be struggling with or undergoing training for anxiety or reactivity. We are not a board and train facility, but a supportive care environment designed to reinforce positive training and good behaviors. Proof of up-to-date vaccinations and flea/tick repellent are required for all boarding dogs.
In addition to our Adventure Boarding, we also offer VIP (Very Important Pooch) Vacation get-a-ways as well as Extended Adventure Vacations that take your pup to exciting new places!
