We provide reliable care, fun and exercise for dogs of all ages and sizes. Our play groups are far better exercise and training for your dog than a simple leash walk. Beantown Hounds is also happy to provide our regular hiking clients with boarding services at our farmhouse HQ!

Meghan has been running Beantown Hounds since 2007 with impeccable reliability and client satisfaction.  Compare experience when choosing someone to care for your best buddy!

In the almost twenty years that we've been in business, we've slowly grown from a one woman operation to a small pack of dog care professionals.  Our pack is made up of people who consider dog walking to be a calling - not just a job. We take very seriously the care of your dogs. To us, dogs are family and deserve to be treated as such.  We promise to do our best by them and bring home a happy, healthy, tired pup at the end of the day.

Playgroups

We offer twice daily group hikes in safe, dog-friendly locations. Whether your dog is an early riser or an afternoon romper, we have an adventure waiting for him. We’ll pick your pup up, whisk him off for hiking adventure and bring him back, tuckered out, clean and well-exercised. Our hikes are at least an hour and a half of moving, off leash time.

The groups go to local parks where they are allowed to run, swim and play off- leash. We provide healthy treats, tennis balls and a good toweling off at the end of the trip. All dogs are evaluated before receiving off-leash privileges and must prove to have good recall before joining their friends. Groups consist of approximately 5-8 dogs each.

Dogs may participate in half-day or full-day excursions. Half-day excursions last approximately 3-4 hours (pick-up and drop-off included). Full-day excursions are approximately 6 – 7 hours – this includes both a morning and afternoon outing as well as rest time in the middle. Travel time is included in these estimates and actual timing will vary depending on how close or far you live from the park.

Single session (AM or PM) $40 for 1 dog, $65 for 2 dogs
Double Session (both AM and PM) $65 for 1 dog, $95 for 2 dogs

Multiple Dog Rates Available Upon request

"Pre-School" puppy visits (SUSPENDED Due to COVID)

We recognize that not all dogs are immediately ready for off leash group adventures. This is an attractive option for owners of puppies who are still too young (or not yet fixed) to join us off-leash. It provides us with an opportunity to get to know them and build our relationship before they start coming to playgroup.  It’s can also be a good option for older dogs who don’t have a lot of socialization.  We can evaluate whether they will be a good candidate for the playgroups while getting them out for a little exercise.  The main idea behind the “pre-school” walks is to prep the dogs for joining the off leash playgroups.

Each walk/visit lasts approximately 20 minutes.  During this time your pup will get to tour the neighborhood and take care of “business”. We go out rain or shine, hot or cold!  If requested, you’ll receive a text or note after each visit so you know how your dog did while you were at work.
