Dog Town Care Center

James is fantastic and takes great care of all of the dogs under his care. My dog was exhausted after each day care session, and got some much needed social time. The Facebook pictures (and funny captions) are also a great touch! Prices were very reasonable and you know that your dog is in great hands.
I would highly recommend Dog Town for anyone in the Wilmington/​Billerica area with active dogs.

Our dog (s) love coming here (and we are happy to pick them up exhausted)
James (the owner) takes good care of the dogs and the space. He remembers dogs (and humans) by name and is always pleasant. He gives a rundown of my dog’s behavior when I pick him up, which is helpful when in «training mode».
He’s caring, personable and attentive!
He takes photos every day of the dogs and posts them on FB for you to see. He takes amazing pictures and it’s great to see your pup having fun throughout the day. It’s a wonderful little touch that James has added to Dog Town
The Facility:
The reception area is designed well/​attractive. Tile floors; counters, etc. There are industrial shelves with all holistic/​natural foods for sale. Pick-​up — drop-​off, functional hours — 7am-​7pm. There is an «entry way» for the dogs to get into the play area, with doors on each side. In the entry way, they have a hydrolic lift for grooming dogs (They do VERY limited grooming and it’s for clients only). It’s a little bit of an awkward space, but works well for what they need. The Door to the reception area is solid, so dogs cannot sniff/​see through that side. The other side there is an iron gate to the inside play area. This is where they can sniff and see what they’re going into. The inside play area is an open space with a padded floor (I cannot tell what this padding is, but its definitely durable for the dogs). It’s a crate free facility. The floor is pretty soft for the dogs to lay down if they so choose. The back door opens to a large tented area of the backyard (in the event that it’s raining and the dogs don’t want to go outside). The opening to the open backyard is on the other side of the tent so the dogs run straight out the back door, across the tent and out the other side. Again, designed well for corralling and controlling the dogs. The backyard, is an open backyard; pretty large. A baby pool and a sprinkler are used in the warmer weather which is fun for the dogs and helps keep them cool. Someone is always with the dogs monitoring their behavior and playing with them. They have a «time-​out» area by the front desk, that is also used for new puppies to get comfortable to the new environment.
The Pricing/​Packages:
They have an ad hoc basis; Full-​day & half-​day pricing. They offer packages with good pricing if paid upfront. It’s really the best deal I’ve seen around for 2 dogs.
Overall Perception:
This is a no-​frills day care center (do dogs need frills?). Priced well (packages at least), very simple in design and concept; open space; there is nothing special about this place. It gets the job done and provides a closed-​in, safe environment for your dog. Built well, designed well, decent staff that cares. They monitor the dogs all day and break up fights; but you go in with the understanding that dogs can rough house sometimes. That’s not new to daycare environments. The required information package is the longest set of questions I’ve ever seen, but I suppose semi-​necessary. It’s a nice size place; not huge, not overly small. Most definitely worth the money; competitively priced for individualized attention and care. We love it here

We’ve been taking our dog here 1 – 2 times per week for the last 8 months, and she loves it. She plays ALL day, without ever being separated from the other dogs. She comes home exhausted and barely moves for the rest of the evening. The owner is wonderful with the dogs as well. We appreciate that the screening process he goes through with all of the dogs to ensure they have the right temperament to be there. It is comforting to know that she is safe and having a wonderful time while we’re at work. We (and Kima, our puppy) would strongly recommend Dog Town to our friends with canines.
