Holliston Meadows Pet Resort

Can I choose zero stars? Took my dogs there for daycare for six months or so. Nothing special. One day I walked in to drop them off and saw one of the employees yelling and swearing at a dog. Needless to say, I never went back.

It has taken me over a year to grow my dog’s facial hair. I have a top knot for him and always keep his mustache long to prevent eye infection. My husband dropped him off today at the Meadows with full instruction not to cut his facial hair as well as his top knot. Unfortunately they trimmed the hair near the eyes and I know this will be a source of problem going on. Nothing that can be fixed for the next 8 months. Poor dog is going to suffer.

I brought my two dogs here a couple years ago (maybe things have changed) and had an awful experience. I dropped them off with kibble, canned food, and had paid for extra services (outside time for one dog and lap time for the other). They were also groomed while they were there. The only good thing I can say is my flight was delayed and they closed at 6pm on Sunday and two women stayed until I could get there around 620 to get my dogs. When I picked up my dogs one had a nail bleeding from the grooming (I get it — it happens, but I mentioned it because he was bleeding on the floor, on me when he jumped on me, there was blood on the bed she was carrying from their cage — she said «oh I didn’t even notice»). Then they handed me back a FULL container of kibble. So… what did my dogs eat for 5 days? I spent a lot of time researching the best dog food I could find and didn’t want them eating some other crap. Aside from the fact that anyone who owns a dog should know you can’t change their food abruptly without them getting sick. It was late and I was tired and they were closed so I didn’t even ask I just rushed out of there. When I got home I noticed my goldendoodle had cuts all over him from where he was clipped during grooming. I’ll be honest — he was a little matted when I dropped them off, but you don’t cut his skin. Also, the bottoms of both ears were crusted in blood because she had cut too close and had cut his ears. It took him about a month for all his skin to get back to normal. He just kept scratching the areas she had cut him.
I haven’t been able to board my dogs since this experience. I’m terrified to leave them anywhere. I wouldn’t recommend this place for boarding OR grooming.

We’ve boarded our two 1 year old pitbull mix siblings here a few times over the past few months and have been very happy with the service. After a horrible first day care experience at another facility (our boy was bitten by another dog and we weren’t notified) we visited several facilities before we would board our pups for the weekend.
We walked into Holliston Meadows and not even 2 minutes into the tour my husband whispered to me «yea, this is where we are boarding them». The facility is exceptionally clean, bright, the kennels are of varying sizes, and they were very accomodating to our pups moods– they have a hard time being separated but tend to rough house and wrestle when together. Holliston Meadows put them in a kennel together for a bit, and also put them in individual kennels across from one another, so they would be separate but still see each other.
We opted not to have group playtime, but always add a playtime for just the two of them, and every time we pick them up they are so exhausted they sleep all day long. I’m pretty sure our boy– who’s a bit of a nosy one– doesn’t sleep well just because of all the extra smells and sounds but they are always in good condition, clean and free of scratches.
Now we don’t even think twice about boarding them there, and I get a little sad that my babies go running in without even looking back– not even a «bye mom, we’ll miss you!»

Hands-​down the «best of breed» in the Metrowest area. We have a St. Bernard (Foster), who loves the folks at Holliston Meadows, and loves his visits there. He gets excited to be dropped off. This is unique, as we have tried for several years different places, home-​sitters, walkers etc and that always stresses him out.
The staff is courteous, kind, and professional and it is so much more relaxing to travel knowing that our furry friend is in such good hands. It so worth the investment for us and we are thankful to have this business available to offer such a valuable service.

My husband and I celebrated our 3^rd year wedding anniversary and we needed to board our pup. An anxious, shy, hyperactive pup may I add. I was nervous as this was his first time being boarded but the staff was so friendly, kind, and understanding and the kennel was nicer than our B&B! Most importantly our dog came back his crazy self, no changes to his personality. I highly recommend!
