I got Zion right before COVID. I don’t know what his previous owners did to him but he was very nervous and reactive. I took him to Petco for training but the trainer, let’s just say wasn’t very effective.The neighbors at the apartment at which I was living at the time complained every time Zion walked from one part of my apartment to another. School was still in a brick and mortar so I needed to find someone to take care of him during the day. I stumbled upon Demille and Jill and let them know my situation, how Zion was, etc. They met him and agreed to board him during the week. They would send me pictures and Zion looked super happy. Without knowing it, they helped Zion immensely. My boyfriend and I stumbled upon the unofficial dog park at Wyman Park. At first we were skeptical about letting him go but then we remembered the pictures Jill and Demille would send of him playing with other dogs, being happy and we let him go and he was just fine.

I trust them inherently.
I recommend very highly. All customers I know love...
Read moreThere aren’t words to express how grateful we are to Hampden Hounds. From walking my energetic dog multiple times a day while I worked long hours, to caring for her for several days while I was in the hospital, to boarding her for holidays and vacations, I could always count on Jill to make sure my girl was well cared for. Hampden Hounds was the only boarding I trusted when my dog was 16 years old and needed a lot of special attention. Even after I left the city, I drove an hour to make sure our dog was in the best care whenever I couldn’t be with her. We love...
