My puppy loves Hounds Town. He comes home tired which I love. It’s been a great way to get him socialized with other dogs. The staff is wonderful.
Our dog always enjoys her day at Hounds Town - Metuchen! She always comes out happy and tired from playing. I appreciate how the staff recognizes her (and all the other pups) as soon as she comes in. It’s reassuring to know that I’m leaving our dog with staff who genuinely care! A special mention to Camilla and Jay…
They are great and so accommodating. Lola loves it there
Live how they live my dog even with his jumping and craziness. Very nice people
When my Holly goes for daycare or a pupcation, she is always taken care of so well! She gets so excited, all we have to do is mention Houndstown and she sits at the door waiting to go! I highly recommend them to all!
My puppy, Butters, has been going to Houndstown for about two months now and she absolutely loves it! She has so much fun there. As her mom, I very much appreciate that the place is well run, clean and the staff are extremely nice to the dog parents and the doggies as well. Camila, Jay and the rest of the staff are…
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…

We come from Staten Island to have our precious pup boarded at Hounds Town Metuchen. The facility is clean, comfortable and spacious. The staff is caring, courteous, friendly and knowledgeable.

Fantastic doggy daycare, boarding, and grooming! We recently moved to the area and needed to find a daycare spot for our 10yo chocolate lab. He's been going to doggy daycares since he was 6 months old, and loves the social interaction. He showed up his first day and it was like he was already a regular! The team is…
The first time my puppy was being bored he decided to eat a hair tie the day before we dropped him off. We told the staff what the doctor said to do and told me to have a good trip. The staff was beyond kind and kept checking up on him and let us know when the hair tie had passed through his system. They're very kind!!
we absolutely love hounds town because we can tell our dog is well cared for. When we drop him off, he’s always super excited to go, all of the employees know his name. He gets a warm welcome at the door. We get to see pictures on Facebook showing how he’s playing with all his friends, when we go on vacation, we…
Friendly, cleanliness, pet feels like home, pet cannot wait to go inside
The staff at Metuchen Houndstown are exceptional! We started taking our dog (Jet) here last year and he loves it. I love that they post pictures daily on the private Facebook group to see your doggy in real time! The staff is very communicative and always friendly. I am so glad this place was recommended to me…
