There are no words for how much I love Riverdog Peabody. We have a super shy, timid dog and they have welcomed her with such patience and love. They are absolutely true dog lovers and I can tell they really care about each of their pups, even the ones that are a little different like ours :) The people that work here are wonderful and so reliable- I feel totally confident leaving my dog with them. I feel so lucky we have them close by and would recommend to anyone!!

This is a great place to send your dog. They love all the dogs who come to them, add make each one feel special. Since it's a crate free facility, the dogs get to roam and play until they're tired, which allows you to know your dog is getting the socialization and play time it needs. They also put pictures up on Instagram if you want to check it out.

My pup can't wait to go in when we pull into the parking lot! She loves it and I love that!

We love RiverDog. They LOVE dogs, and we feel so comfortable leaving our pup there! Best, they post insta pics throughout the day so you can stalk them while you're away!

Nice staff, great drop-off service, and our dog loves it! Little stinky when you first walk in (it is a dog playground), but I'm sure that adds to the appeal for the pooches!

Riverdog is awesome! We have an extra large pup and a small pup. The pups have very different needs and these folks make sure they each get what they need. Love in different ways! Riverdog is great for daycare and overnights. They are our go to place. Highly recommend them.

We love the team at Riverdog and could not recommend them more!! They post tons of pics of the dogs on their Instagram so you are always up to date on what your dog is up to. Also, they have been so patient and understanding working with one of our dogs that takes awhile to warm up to new people and new situations. He now LOVES going to daycare after the team has patiently worked with him for the past six weeks. Thank you Riverdog team!!!

RiverDog is a cage free daycare and boarding. We have an Australian Shepard that is full of energy, we send him to daycare to run around with his friends and he comes come worn out and ready to snuggle. Our pup gets so excited when we are pulling up. The staff is professional, responsive, and clearly love what they do. Every staff member is polite and happy whenever we are there. Both my husband and I are essential employees and still needed their services during 'lockdown'. This was never a problem, they even offered to have a staff member take our pup for a night if they didn't have overnight staff scheduled due to the capacity limitations and we needed to work. I was unexpectedly hospitalized for almost two weeks. We dropped off our pup having no idea he would need to stay there for so long. I cannot express how helpful it was to know that our pup was being loved and cared for during that stressful time. I emailed the staff informing them we had no idea when we would be able to pick him up, they immediately answered confirming they would care for him as their own until we could pick him up. I will be forever grateful for the Riverdog staff!

Blue loves RiverDog. The incredible staff light up when he walks in the door and he runs right over to them, tail wagging. They have amazing hours and they post frequently on their Instagram so you can see all the fun your pup is having. He is super tired when he gets home. This place is great!

Riverdog is just the best, our husky pup LOVES it there and always comes home happy and tired. The pick up/drop off services are phenomenal, customer service is great, and the flexible hours are so hopeful for a family of two working parents. He has stayed for over a week when we went on vacation and we had absolutely no problems! Love that there is outdoor space for the pups to run around.

These are phenomenal, dedicated, and kind people who are devoted to the dogs they care for (mine among them for both daycare and overnight stays)! It is an incredible gift to be able to trust others with my pup, and to know that they love her as their own. You won’t find better! (Also posted on Yelp!)

I love RiverDog, and most importantly so does my dog! It’s the best daycare and boarding experience we’ve ever had.

My shiba inu named Maverick absolutely LOVES RiverDog in Peabody! We have used other doggie daycares and boarding facilities, and none compare to RiverDog! This top notch service provides us not only with exceptional care and service, they are flexible, kind and truly love our dog! Thank you to Mavericks aunties for loving him and treating us all sooooo well! You're truly the best and we are most grateful!

My high energy pup LOVES this place. I love the caring, attentive staff, clean facility, and reasonable fees. Getting to see my pup play throughout the day on IG is nice, too!

"I LOVE RiverDog and all the Aunties!!" Is what my dog would say if she could speak English. Loving and caring staff that will give your pup all the snuggles they need while I'm away for work or just can't bring her for some reason (looking at you Airbnb in the White Mountains) your pup is in amazing care if you go to RiverDog.

Riverdog in Peabody is an outstanding doggy daycare and overnight. Their staff are energetic and passionate about dogs. It's easy to tell they love what they do and they take time to ensure your dog or puppy gets plenty of love and attention while you're gone. They even post tons of photos during the day to make it easy to see how much fun they are having. The hours are incredibly convenient and they will gladly feed any meal that you ask to make it convenient for your schedule - this made the puppy lunch phase much easier. When we started bringing our young puppy here we saw a notable improvement in her social skills and habits. She goes absolutely bananas when we pull into the parking lot.

The staff here at RiverDog Peabody are absolutely amazing and very genuine, we have a 100% deaf and very anxious/ high energy dog who they accommodate to perfectly and make her feel right at home. We’ve been on the search for a great daycare facility in the north shore area and I think we finally found it! Would recommend highly.

I swear my dog likes being at RiverDog more than home and he has a pretty great life at home! The staff here are so wonderful and kind. I would recommend RiverDog to anybody who wants to go away and know that their pup is in the best hands.

My dog Hannah has only gone once so far but seems to love it! Staff is very nice and pleasant and my dog came home a very tired and happy girl. Good space for the dogs to run around and love how they update their social media through the day so you can see your pup at daycare. Customer service is great!

The staff at Riverdog Peabody really care about my dog. I know this because they tell me how much they love her, and from the many pictures they send me of her! I feel very confident that she is in safe and caring hands, and that when she …

My dog was super happy when I picked her up and tired, that is all i wanted, couldn't recommend more. The place was clean and no smells and staff were super friendly.

Can’t recommend this place enough! Made me feel very comfortable leaving my 4 month old puppy Brady there. Brady gets so excited once he realizes he’s going to “school”, then comes home a very tired boy!

We've had a terrific experience with RiverDog. Greg and the crew are communicative and helpful. Our guy, Pudding, loves to play with the other dogs, and he leaves happy and tired, which we love.

RiverDog has taken great care of our dog over multiple weekends. Plus, Greg and his team are great to work with — responsive and flexible. They've got out of their way to make things easy for us.

My dogs were going to this location when it was under a different name that closed unexpectedly. I was delighted when we got the news another doggy day care was taking over the space and even happier with the welcome my dogs have received every time they have attended River Dog. They start whining when we get on route one and practically pull me up the stairs. The staff has been amazing and the small changes they have made so far to the facility are great. I look forward to being a long time customer of River Dog and I know Jax and Savannah do too.

I did cage-free boarding for my dog and he had a blast! I received updates every day and even some pictures of my buddy while I was away for the weekend! They were very accommodating and went way out of their way to make the experience as easy and enjoyable as possible for me and my dog. And the transport from Somerville to Peabody is super convenient! I would highly recommend them to anybody looking to make sure their pet is well taken care of, looked after, and most importantly enjoying themselves while you're away!
