Doggie Day in Boston
One favorite spot in Boston that the Sniffy Girls love is Doggie Day, a day care located at 400 Tremont St.
There are many reasons why we think Doggie Day is something special.
To start, the space is large; there are two rooms just for the day care. The rooms boast of sofas and webcams to make your dog’s stay the most enjoyable and relaxing it can be.
Doggie Day’s location is combined with ’sPoochies, a high-end pet boutique and spa that offers luxury pet accessories as well as grooming services. ’sPoochies is not strictly for dogs either it has Pussy’s Galore, a cat boutique. Doggie Day prides itself on carrying only the top end in brands for your pet and is pleased that not one of their food products was affected by the recent recalls.
What truly makes Doggie Day unique to us is the management team. Rob, one of the owners, helps dog owners organize great events here, including dog meet-ups for specific breeds and dog birthday parties.
Here is a short video from a pug meet-up at Doggie Day.
Emily, one of the groomers at Doggie Day, owns two beautiful poodles, Cy and Diamond. Cy and Diamond have been selected for a photo shoot for the company where we work: as you can see from the pictures, Emily knows how to make a dog look even more beautiful than he is already!

There are some nice people at DoggieDay, but my last experience with them was so awful that I’ll never use them again, and would never recommend them to anyone else. I tried and tried to update my feeding instructions via the DoggieDay Web page, but could never get it to work. So I rode my motorcycle all the way downtown to take written instructions for someone to input manually. Before my trip away I left another copy of the very detailed instructions (we had an elderly sick cat who was doing all right but who needed certain things because of her finickyness and her need to have a lot of calories to keep her strength up) on the kitchen counter, along with all sorts of different food, cat milk, treats, etc. And I emphasized VERY strongly that the cats liked and used one particular water bowl especially, especially the sick cat. That bowl was bone dry when I got home. I arrived home to find all but one water dish empty and barely any of the food used. None of the cat milk or treats had been used. The instruction sheet I left on the counter with the food had been set aside across the kitchen. It turns out that the caretaker had just gone from the woefully outdated feeding instructions from long before, from the outdated pre-printed instructions on their visit cards. I think that anyone concerned with doing any more than the absolute least possible would’ve seen that those old instructions didn’t match up at all with the various kinds of foods I’d left out. I think the caretaker’s excuse was a pitiful cop-out and I’m still mad about that whole situation, even a couple of years later. To me a company is only as good as its weakest employee, so I threw out the baby (DoggieDay) with the bathwater (the bad experience with the particular employee) in this case.
