About Us:
The Doggie Den opened its doors in September, 1998 in a small colonial cottage situated in downtown Northboro, MA. Between our growing Daycare and Grooming businesses, we found our cottage quickly bursting at the seams, and in November, 2000 we moved into a state-of-the-art 2400 sq. ft. facility a couple of hundred yards from the house. Our facility was designed specifically for doggie daycare by The Doggie Den owner, Susan LaDue, and was built by Northboro Commons, during the summer of 2000.

We're in the dog business because we love it. Susan was successful in more than one career before starting The Doggie Den, but dogs have always been her first love. Except for in The Grooming Salon, our doggie guests are always free to play, nap, chew, and observe their puppy pals. There are lots of beds, toys, chews, and open crates in the play areas. It's more work this way, since we don't crate dogs involuntarily, but that's the point! It's the work that we love. Part of everyone's job at The Doggie Den is playing with the dogs. We hang out with them - sometimes under piles of them - on the play area couches.
