Adventure Forward
Dog Boarding
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 engaging outdoor experiences.
We have free scheduled pick-up/drop-off in Charlestown, MA or we are able to provide pick-up and drop-off throughout the Greater Boston area and along the 95 corridor from Boston to Maine, for a nominal fee of $15 each way. 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 repellant 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!
How it works:
Boarding is provided by Danielle, the owner of Bark Around Boston, LLC and Ruff Life Resort and her team! The team provides boarding services at the Ruff Life Resort facility in Lisbon, ME and Danielle offers Very Important Pooch getaways as well as Extended Adventure Boarding!
This schedule is subject to change based on holidays and client needs, and all information on the current boarding agenda is available to pet parents in advance. You`re welcome to pick-up and drop-off your pup at a predetermined location in Charlestown, MA or arrange to have your pup transported directly to or from your home. Any pick-ups or drop-offs that take place outside of Charlestown will be charged an additional $15 transport fee each way.
