Martha's Garden

My dog Luka is so excited every time he goes to daycare here! Love that there’s activities in the afternoon. He’s always so tired after the daycare. Although he comes home smells a bit like pee, it’s worth it

This review is long overdue! I have been taking my dog to Martha's Garden for almost 2 years, and I cannot express enough how much my dog is OBSESSED with this place. My dog is anxious and withdrawn in most situations, but I took her in for a 1-hr assessment on the chance that this daycare could bring out her vibrant and playful side I see at home. They were very communicative about her behavior and comfort level in those first couple of weeks, which helped me feel confident about taking her out of her comfort zone. I knew I made the right decision when within only a few visits, she would RUN to the staff without looking back at me during drop off. Flash forward to the present and she thrives at this daycare. I can see such a difference when walking her in public, meeting other dogs or new people, that she has more confidence because of the socialization and enrichment she gets at Martha's Garden. Like everyone else mentions, they have a great routine of different activities every day and send you home with a cute report card so you get a little snapshot of their day. My only complaint is that always tries to go to Martha's on our walks now and I have to disappoint her every time! If you're someone considering if daycare is right for your small dog - obviously knowing that all dogs will have different needs and comfort levels - I think it is worth a shot to try this place out and it may become an essential part of your dog's life!

There's no words for me to describe how much my dog Boo LOVES Martha's Garden! The staff takes such good care of Boo here, I can tell that he has so much fun every time he goes. Any time I even say the words "Martha's Garden!!", he gets incredibly happy and energetic. On top of this, Boo used to be very shy and distant with other dogs, but since he started going to Martha's, he's become so playful with doggies!! His socialization skills have improved so much. Additionally, I LOVE their report cards. They take lots of pictures of your dog. I always smile when I receive them🥹 I'm incredibly satisfied with the service I get from Martha's🥰 Boo and I have benefited from it so much!

Honey and I absolutely love Martha’s Garden! When I needed to find care for my pup, I ended up visiting quite a few facilities in the area. Martha’s Garden was, by far, the best daycare option for us. I knew Honey would receive the most attention and individualized care from Shannon and her team. I enjoy receiving her report card in the afternoon and reading about the enrichment activities and details of her day. They share photos as well so I can see how much Honey enjoys her time at day camp! It really is such a relief to know that she is in good hands with skilled handlers that know and love her.

We’ve been huge fans of Martha’s Garden since they opened in early 2021. Our dog, Murphy, has been attending day camp as a pup and even now at nearly 3 years old, he loves going. We used to live in the neighborhood and now that we’re further away, it’s very cute to see his ears pop and tail wag as we turn off the Mercer St exit to make our way to day camp. The owner truly loves and cares for all of the dogs and is very knowledgeable on dog behavior and care. We appreciate the detailed report card and cute photos throughout the day. We’ve made some lovely friends through this community- a nice added bonus! We’d highly recommend for small dog day camp and are excited they will be offering boarding services in the near future.
