Hidden Acres Kennel

our dog eugene loves hidden acres! he comes home exhausted whether it's day care or a lengthier stay. he enjoys running free in the woods and hidden acres is exactly where he wants to be. they post videos daily so watching him have so much fun puts our minds at ease.

eugene was having issues eating and knocking his food everywhere so they even gave him no-tip bowls which seemed to help!

jordan always gives us detailed information when we pick eugene up- no matter how many dogs he has, he is able to provide info about how ours did, specifically. eugene can't wait to play with his friends at hidden acres again soon!

We've been sending our dogs to Hidden Acres for years and have had nothing but outstanding experiences. Each of our three dogs has their own eccentricities and could not be more different.
When my wife was pregnant we had Hidden Acres "on call" for us to drop the dogs off when she went into labor. Our dogs are always excited when we pull in to drop them off and exhausted when we pick them up.
Everyone at hidden acres truly loves dogs and that is evident in everything that they do. They also go above and beyond in terms of customer service, they are pleasant and take the extra step to make sure that the customers needs are more than met.

We have always used Hidden Acres and have never had any kind of a problem. We go on vacation and we never worry about our Jack Russell, Piper. They watch over her because she is a tiny dog and fearful. It's a great relief not to worry about her.

Thanks guys.

A very unsafe place for your dog. I used to take my dog here two years ago and this was my experience:

There will only be one person ever working at a time no matter how many dogs are inside and outside.

I was always a little nervous but it seemed ok until one time my dog was returned to me with a huge cut on his side that needed to be stapled shut by the vet. (I added the photo). I understand dogs can get cut, no big deal but no one had at all noticed and it was a gross mess of new and dried up blood. The vet said the cut was likely 48 hours old. The owners paid for the vet bill and were very apologetic so I took my dog back one last time.

I had scheduled to drop him off and when I arrived there was literally not a single human on site and the dogs were unsupervised out in the woods, in the rain. Not only had that forgotten my appointment, but I called the number which transfers to the owners cell and he explained they had just left and would be back later THAT EVENING. Crazy. Again, he was very nice and apologetic and I'm sure it's costly to fully staff a place like this but just seems very unsafe to me.

Do NOT bring your dog here if you value its health and happiness. Problems at Hidden Acres include:

1. Being really unresponsive - if you call to make an appointment to drop off your dog, or even to just learn about the facility, you may never get a call back (I ended up going somewhere else the first time I tried to use Hidden Acres, because I NEVER got my message returned).
.
2. Being really strict about pickup/dropoff times. The dogs have to stay much longer at the facility than necessary, because they can only be picked up during certain windows (two 2-hour windows morning and night). In the summer there is two night minimum on the weekends, which is ridiculous. They also stress "Please do no just drop by the kennel without an appointment". .

3. Overall lack of monitoring of the dogs leading to dangerous situations - a problem that is prevalent throughout the owner's businesses. Please read the filtered reviews both for Hidden Acres and for the other facilities he runs/ran (Tall Tails) to get a picture of how they are operated. Last time one dog ended up with a huge gash on its side, which we only realized upon getting home - the staff hadn't said anything, and we have no way of knowing if it was caused by another dog or by a fence.

Our dogs have never been boarded before due to always being around family and friends that were available to take care of our dogs however when we moved 2000 miles away from our friends and family we needed a place to board them. We found Hidden Acres Kennel here on Yelp and decided to give them a try. When we picked our dogs up after a long weekend you could tell they had a blast! They slept for days because they are not used to being able to play for hours on end with other dogs and the pictures provided by staff throughout the weekend really put my wife and I at ease because you could see the smiles on the dogs faces as they played.

I would recommend Hidden Acres to all of our friends with dogs!

Hidden Acres is as good as a dog kennel can get.


They offer pick-up and drop-off to my home in Boston, they charge one flat rate that includes LOTS of outdoor play time, and they regularly update me with photos of my dog playing in their huge dog run!

They are also incredibly flexible, and allow me to pay with Paypal and make boarding arrangements via text.

Most importantly, they are caring and friendly. They know my dog's name and habits and take great care of him while he stays. He always comes home clean, exhausted, and happy.

I hope I never move and need to find another kennel, because my dog and I are spoiled by Hidden Acres!

The folks here are warm, friendly, and genuinely caring. I really love the daily photo Updates that they send as it makes me feel comfortable about leaving my best bud here when I travel.

I also love the large outdoor "play" area and the fact that my big girl can romp with her fellow fur friends!

And as the other reviewer mentioned, they bathe her so she returns fresh and clean!

I never worry when Sophia is at Hidden Acres!! They treat her like family. Jordan and staff are accommodating, professional, caring and kind. I get pictures everyday showing Sophia playing.

My daughter lives nearby and we have used Hidden a Acres many times when we go on vacation. Unfortunately my daughter is moving soon. We may have to drive to Rehobeth and leave from Providence in the future!

My wife (still feels weird to say that!) and I boarded our pup Dougie here for 16 days during our wedding/honeymoon. We haven't had the little guy for that long, and we were a little worried how he'd react to being boarded for such a long time. The one thing he goes absolutely crazy for is dog park time, though, so we knew we had a good shot of success with this one.

Boy, were we right or what?! Jordan runs a brilliant operation over there. Martha and JD sent us several pictures daily of Dougie at play (and a few of him laying in the dirt from pure exhausted bliss).

We just got him back on Sunday. Martha warned us that Dougie was probably going to sleep for a week (Day 3 and so far she's right on). Theres been zero adjustment back (in fact, he's been a happier dog!) and it's obvious by looking at him that he got a great workout for 2 and a half weeks. We will absolutely use Hidden Acres again for all of our overnight boarding needs, and maybe even some doggie daycare as a special treat!

As an aside, the roughest adjustment we had to having Dougie back was right as we picked him up. He cried in the car until Hidden Acres was out of sight. If that's not a dog who wanted to stay longer, I don't know what is!
