**Health & Welfare Concerns as well as lack of organization and accountability**…read more During my dog's recent 4-day stay, multiple serious issues emerged: **Health & Welfare Concerns:** When I picked up my dog, it was immediately apparent she had not been given adequate access to water. Her oral mucosa was extremely dried out--a clear sign of dehydration. This is a basic care requirement for any boarding facility. They also did not give her medications correctly, giving them at the incorrect time of day which can cause adverse health outcomes. **Lack of Organization & Accountability:** When I arrived for pickup, the staff didn't know where my dog was. She was described as being "somewhere in the groom area on the second floor." Despite having her grooming started at 11 AM, at 5:30 PM when I arrived, there was no clear tracking of her location or status. More troubling: she was supposed to return to daycare, which was explicitly included in the premium boarding package I paid for. **Hidden Fees & Price Gouging:** Beyond the already expensive room rate, Red Dog charges for everything, including bagging food but not returning the individual food containers your drop off, while refusing to provide any transparency about what actually happens behind closed doors. You pay premium prices for services you can't verify are being delivered. **Unsubstantiated & Inappropriate Allegations:** Most concerning: Red Dog claimed my dog, who is a certified therapy dog with extensive professional experience in hospitals and clinical settings, tried to bite someone during grooming. This allegation contradicts her entire behavioral history and working credentials. As well as impeccable boarding, grooming and daycare experiences at other facilities. Red Dog Boarding demonstrates poor animal care standards, organizational chaos, aggressive pricing practices, and a troubling lack of accountability.

I don't usually write reviews, but I feel it's important to share what happened after boarding my…read moredog here. When I picked him up, he seemed unusually withdrawn and upset -- something I've never seen in him before. A couple of days later, he became protective of his food and even bit me, which has never happened in the past. This behavior change makes me question how he was treated or what kind of environment he was in during his stay. I wish I had more transparency about how the dogs are handled and supervised. For anyone considering this place, please make sure you ask detailed questions about their care routines and how they manage stress or behavioral issues. I'm honestly heartbroken and won't be bringing my dog back.

I got daily picture and video reports, and Shari kept me informed of Bea's eating (which was a concern for me). She even brought over a sample of dry food for my picky cat baby to try and she's eating it! Shari visited at the same time each day which kept Bea in her routine, which I really appreciate. Working with Shari included a meet and greet with Bea before I left, and she was very responsible and flexible with figuring out logistics with visits, keys, etc. 10/10 would recommend if you're looking for a cat sitter in the Fenway/Back Bay/South End area.

I highly recommend her as a sitter - and wish she would move to Florida as well!

Kai and the Happy Paws team blew my expectations out of the water. The only reason I'm no longer…read morewith them is because I moved, otherwise I would still be using them. Kai was super thorough during sign ups. She came to my house for a 1 on 1 consultation (COVID safe of course) and talked to me about Tilley's needs and what she could offer. I ended up having Tilley walked 3x/week. I swear my little girl had an extra wiggle each time she came home from her pack walk. Matt was Tillz dog walker and I truly have nothing but great things to say about him. He is prompt, so nice, and Tilley absolutely loves him. He is the only person she will bolt downstairs for at the door (she's a little lazy, I usually need to give her a little tug). She came back happy, exercised, and exhausted. All the things I want my little fur-ball to feel after a nice long walk. Also, I had a training session with Bria and she is a lifesaver. She trained me how to train Tilley and I've never looked back; Till is like a different dog now. I will 100% be using her services for training in the near future. All in all, I highly recommend Happy Paws for all of your pups needs (I say pups because no matter the age, all dogs are pups). If you're in the area, the team certainly won't disappoint!
