Puppy Hollow

Doggie Daycare & Boarding

Puppy Hollow began in March 2023 to address a neighborhood shortage of dog sitters with fenced in yards where dogs can run freely off leash in a safe environment. Melanie’s two dogs - Frankie and Cheddar - provide socialization and rasslin’ for visitors, ensuring all dogs leave tired and happy. PH now has a roster of regulars, and provides services for out-of-towners whose pets cannot stay at their hotel or AirBnB.

Couldn’t be happier with Puppy Hollow! They were more than happy to take in my puppy Hank, and we all know puppies are a lot of work! Their dogs have been amazing with him, along with the other pups they watch. Hank is excited the second we pull in the driveway and cones home safe, well cared for and tired at the end of the day. Highly recommend!

We are new to the area and we were SO fortunate to find Puppy Hollow! They have a huge fenced yard for the dogs to play together with fun spots to explore and lots of shade. Melanie is very hands on and playful with all the dogs! She treats each and every dog as if they were her own. We highly recommend puppy hollow to anyone in the Berkshires.
