Full or Half-Day Day Care

Full time day care usually begins at 8 a.m. and ends at 3 p.m. Pick up and drop off is available to dogs living in Needham.  Dogs spend the day at our home where we have a dedicated play space, both inside and out. Longer days are available if you're willing to pick up and drop off.

Our play groups run from 8 a.m.-noon and 11am-3pm. The dogs spend time socializing and playing with others and if your pup is so inclined, our playgroup includes a nice walk (or run) in the woods.

While Terry is out walking the dogs Julia is at the house making sure everyone else is having fun and getting plenty of outdoor play time.

Sometimes it's just not practical to have your dog home all day. Let's face it: dogs have needs, and if you work from home your clients won't appreciate the interruptions that come with owning a dog. Maybe you're not home during the day and worry about what your best friend is getting into, or don't want to leave him or her crated all day... Leave your dog with us as many days each week (M-Th*) as needed. Includes plenty of walks and fresh air. 

*Friday afternoons the Happy Tail offers morning play group (8-noon) and boarding.
Afternoons are reserved for house cleaning

 Group Walks

The Happy Tail offers off leash and on leash group walks for dogs. There are several good options in the local area including: Noanet in Dover, the Needham Town Forest, Ridgehill Reservation in Needham and Cutler Park in Newton. We pair your dog with others like yours based on energy level. Our group walks last an hour and are especially good for dogs with boundless energy and those that also might enjoy a swim. We don't let your dog off leash until we have discussed it with you and feel confident your pup will stay with the pack. And if your dog loves to be out in nature but needs to be on leash we are happy to accommodate your request. Half hour walks in the woods are also available for the dog who would not tolerate a longer romp.


Boarding

We also offer boarding. The day begins when you drop your dog off and ends 24 hours later. If you drop your pet off at 7 am on a Thursday then 7 am on Friday is considered one day.
