Most of the outdoor runs measure between 30 and 44-feet long, allowing the dogs to have ample space to run, exercise, and play. During the winter months, the indoor kennels are kept dry and warm and our ventilation fans keep the kennels cool during the summer months, ensuring your pet's comfort. Each pen is washed and disinfected daily to make sure that their environment is both clean and healthy.

Great place! We boarded the cat here during a trip out of town and they handled a complex medication schedule with care and competence. Professional, lovely folks. We will be using them again for sure.

This is hands down the best kennel I have ever taken my dogs to. The staff are so friendly and helpful and truly cared for my dogs while they were there. They knew my dogs so well by the time they went home! I highly recommend Southboro Kennels and they will be my go-to moving forward.

Southboro Kennels is absolutely amazing, and I wish I could give them more than 5 stars. really a wonderful family owned small business. We had never boarded our two corgi puppies before, or left them for a more than a weekend, but we went to Hawaii for 14 days and kept our pups with them the entire time. Southboro Kennels was incredibly knowledgeable about all breeds in terms of personality and how to care best for them.

They absolutely went the extra mile to make both our dogs and us feel comfortable while we were gone. I can definitely tell both dogs had an awesome time there, and our younger one even seems more social with other dogs since coming home. Will be boarding there for all our future needs!

We have been coming here for years. They have always been fantastic, trustworthy consistent. The staff have always been attentive, caring, and really love being with the animals. The runs (for the dogs) are indoor/outdoor and fairly large. Our dog Jesse seems to enjoy it, he comes at least twice a year for extended vacations. We also boarded our cat Loki here (when she was still around) We have been coming here since 2013 and will continue. I highly recommend Southboro Kennels! Family owned, and great care for your dogs and cats! Ps cash or check, no credit cards FYI.

Cannot say ENOUGH great things! I had to many worries because of my nervous rescue & overly excited dane, but boy did they have a great time! I researched all the kennels near me, and this one is worth the drive! Simply THE BEST, you can sense how happy the atmosphere is for pups & the workers really care about the dogs. Cant recommend enough!

Our puppy had a blast here! She made some new dog and human friendships. All staff were so kind and doting on our pup. Her first visit was her first vacation! We received photos and videos almost daily from the staff. Of course that made us so happy to see pup playing and running in the yard with the pool, staff, and other dog friends. Also, although it's very hot outside these days, the dogs stay comfortable in the kennel as it is like a cool basement.

They also have industrial fans to keep the dogs cool. All areas were so clean too. This was most impressive. We were at ease about bringing our dog to Southborough Kennel. Thanks for taking great care of our puppy!

Friendly personable staff that worked with us every step of the way. We have a very reactive, fear-agressive aussie that the staff at Southboro accommodated well with all of our medication and handling instructions. They even worked with him to gain his trust.

I'm so happy I found this place! I have a fear reactive corso who takes a while to warm up to new people (once he does he's the biggest softy). This makes finding boarding for him very difficult. Everyone at Southborough Kennels was amazing with him! They took the proper steps to slowly get him comfortable with the facility as well as all the staff he would come in contact with.

They were so patient, understanding and professional! He's only spent a handful of days here so far, but I can tell he's already happy to see the staff and to get out into the yard and play ball.

I can't say enough about the staff at Southboro kennel! They are loving, caring and so attentive to the animals. If there is a problem they are right on the phone with us to make a plan. I can't imagine leaving my beloved pets in anyone else's care! Thank you for all you do Reese, Harley, Bella & Destiny

Our mini-poodle, Teddy LOVES it here! We have left him here for a week at a time and at pick up he greets the staff with the same eagerness as us! Great that the dogs get a private run, and we add two play times daily. Bath on his way out is a plus - today he was quite.ready for the 4th of July

Southboro Kennels is the only kennel that we will leave our dogs, and when we do we have ZERO worries. The staff are truly understand and relate to dogs. Over the years, we've had 4 dogs boarded there at one point or the other, 2 of which were rescues who, while sweet, need experienced handlers. Truly a gem of a kennel.
