K9 Sublime

Marc, Brian and the K9 Sublime crew looked after our golden retriever for almost 8 years. In that time it was great knowing that he was always in good hands and was getting more than his fair share of exercise on his daily trips. Unfortunately we moved out of the area and that meant not being able to see the guys at K9 Sublime anymore. To anyone looking for dog walking or sitting services, you couldn’t find anyone more capable of taking care of your dog than these guys.

Thanks for taking such good care of Maddie! I highly recommend this daycare. The staff genuinely care for the dogs and make sure they all feel comfortable and are enjoying themselves. My dog Maddie has been coming here for 6 months and absolutely loves it.
This is one of the only daycares around that has someone at the facility at night with boarders so the dogs are never left alone!

My husband and I were going out of town for a week and the person who was supposed to watch our very large dog, Max, cancelled last minute. I had heard good things about K9 Sublime and Max used to go on walks with one of the owners, so I gave them a call. They had Max come in and do a temperament test and it went well, so they were able to watch him for the whole week. Max had not stayed overnight in a doggie day care since we got him, so I was worried that he would think we had abandoned him. The owners post pictures on their Facebook page almost every day so I could see what he was doing, and he looked like he was having a blast! When I returned, Brian told me had a great time and did really well. Thanks K9 Sublime for taking such good care of Max on short notice!

I just recently moved to Boston and thought I had a friend who was going to watch my boxer mix for the first two weeks of August around the sales tax holiday because my job requires me to work long hours and I do not like leaving the dog home for long periods, but that fell through at the last minute. Panicking about what do with my dog on short notice I called K9 Sublime and spoke with Brian the owner. I discussed what my situation was and how I needed someone to watch my dog during the day and also walk her because she has a lot of energy. Also I was concerned because she can be very shy and her stomach gets sick when she is in a new environment. Brian understood my concerns and felt the same way I did about making sure the dog was comfortable and got enough exercise. The dog has been so happy going to K9 Sublime and I am so happy I found a place that I can bring my dog where the staff really cares about the dogs they take care of. It is safe to say that my Maggie will only be going to K9 Sublime from now on. THANK YOU!

Thanks for taking Lizzy on such short notice. I know she is in great hands! She loves being with your dog Athena. Athena is so gentle and patient with Lizzy. Congratulations on Echo and your new space! It is so big and clean and safe. Well run by your staff too. Why every Unilocal review may not be nice and not every dog owner will take responsibility for their dog’s aggressive behavior, happens. But I can honestly say this place is dedicated to making dogs and people’s lives better. Day care may not be for every dog but look at all the happy ones you have daily. Just as dog ownership isn’t for every person. We can go out of town knowing Lizzy is with better trained and experienced dog handlers then her own owner!

When things were good they were great, but when they were bad, they were terrible. We chose this place bc the owner has experience with big dogs, and our big dog is rambunctious, and strong. Temperament test went great and she started going to daycare 2 days a week with great reports at every pick up. 7 weeks in, I got an EMAIL that she had been in a fight with the owner’s dog. The first red flag was that I got an email, not a phone call, particularly when my dog had a cut over her eye that I was told – in the email– looked like it required medical attention. (As it turned out, she needed 4 staples for a cut over her eye and 3 teeth marks in her abdomen – a hefty vet bill to say the least). She was put in a crate in the basement until I could get there. In a phone call later that day to discuss the events, my husband and I were informed that our dog had been exhibiting aggressive behavior for a while, and the girls working there were not comfortable with her size/​strength. This was news to us bc at every pick up, I was told she was doing great, and I frequently emailed Brian (the owner) to check in and was told the same – she was doing great. No concerns were ever mentioned. If it was true that my dog was displaying any aggressive behavior, I would want to know immediately for her safety, the safety of the other dogs there, and that of the employees, and would hope the business would have the same philosophy. So… my complaints are that I did not receive a phone call for what I would deem an urgent matter, and that we were either lied to regarding my dog’s good behavior OR the safety of the dogs was knowingly put at risk with an «aggressive» dog in the mix. It should be noted that following this incident, my dog is now unpredictable around other dogs, which has made taking her anywhere very difficult. These are animals and anything is possible behaviorally and that is where proper management comes in. Very unfortunate situation all around and I can’t help but wonder if we would have gotten a more clear explanation of events had the owner’s dog not been involved. I am no longer a proponent of doggie daycare, and certainly not this one.
