My Frenchie LOVES Hounds Town. She's always super excited when she realizes that she's going to daycare. The staff are so friendly and know all of the dogs by name. I can't recommend this doggo daycare enough.

We are so glad we found Hounds Town! Our now senior dog Millie has been going here for years and we have had nothing but positive experiences despite our girl being temperamental around other dogs. She gets lots of one on one love and attention in lieu of group play. The yearly membership is a great deal as we…

I rarely leave negative reviews, which makes writing this especially disappointing. We have previously had positive experiences with both this Hounds Town location and another Hounds Town location, which is why this experience was so surprising. My concern is less about what happened during my dog’s stay and more…

Update: I can't stress enough how nice it is to have a reliable place to leave my furry family members. My pups and I love this place! Everyone is so awesome.

I am glad I waited to write this review. I brought my dog Cobalt there since July. He went one to two times a week. Since the eval I asked for clarity if my dog caused any problems so I can continue to help and make his training more consistent if needed. Every day he went they would tell me he was fine. I asked why…

We had a wonderful experience with Hounds Town Metuchen. Our dog Pearl stayed there over Thanksgiving break, and was well taken care of during her stay. It gave us great peace of mind knowing she was in such a safe and caring environment while we were away. Before she left, they gave her a bath. One of my favorite…
