Our Story
Golden Paw began in 2015 with a simple profile on a dog care website, just a passionate dog lover helping a neighbor. What started as daily walks and full-time care for one sweet pup quickly grew into something much bigger. As more dogs joined for walks, park trips, and playful learning moments, word of mouth spread.
By 2018, the demand had grown so much that we brought on a friend to help during a brief medical leave. Not long after, we expanded our services to include full daycare and overnight stays, building a space where dogs could feel safe, loved, and right at home.
In 2023, we added grooming because every pup deserves to feel as good as they look.
Today, we care for 30 to 40 dogs every day, and our mission is clear: to be Marlborough & Sudbury’s largest and most trusted dog care provider, offering nothing but the highest quality of care, love, and attention to every furry guest.
At Golden Paw, your dog isn’t just a client, they’re family.
Our Commitment to Excellence
What sets Golden Paw apart isn’t just our years of experience, it’s our unwavering commitment to professional excellence and continuous learning. We are Pet CPR Certified by Animal Behavior College and proud members of the International Boarding and Pet Services Association (IBPSA), ensuring that every member of our team meets the highest industry standards.
Our professional dog trainers hold ABC Certification, bringing proven expertise in basic obedience, puppy training, and house training. Whether your dog needs group classes or private lessons, our certified trainers provide personalized attention that matches each dog’s unique learning style and pace.
We believe that professional credentials matter because your pet’s safety and well-being are never negotiable. Every certification we hold, every training program we complete, and every industry standard we exceed is our promise to you that your furry family member receives nothing less than exceptional care.
More Than Just Pet Care
At Golden Paw, we understand that choosing the right care for your dog is about more than convenience, it’s about trust, peace of mind, and knowing your beloved companion is in hands that truly care. That’s why we’ve built our entire approach around what we call the “Golden Standard.”
The Golden Standard means every dog receives individualized attention, whether they’re here for a half-day of play, a full grooming session, or an extended stay. We take time to understand each dog’s personality, preferences, and needs because we know that no two dogs are exactly alike.
Our facility operates with constant supervision during all activities, ensuring that playtime remains safe, engaging, and enriching for every dog in our care. We’ve designed our space to be more than just a place where dogs stay, it’s a place where they thrive, make friends, and experience the joy that comes from being truly understood and cared for.
The Golden Paw Difference
What truly makes Golden Paw special isn’t just what we do—it’s how we do it. Every new client begins with a FREE evaluation day, because we believe the best relationships start with understanding. During this complimentary meet-and-greet, we get to know your dog’s personality, energy level, and preferences while your pet gets comfortable with our team and environment.
This isn’t just good business practice, it’s our way of ensuring that every dog who joins our pack feels welcomed, understood, and excited to return. We’ve found that dogs who feel comfortable from day one become the happiest, most well-adjusted members of our Golden Paw family.
Our team doesn’t just work with dogs, we genuinely love what we do. You’ll see it in the way we greet each furry guest by name, remember their favorite toys and treats, and celebrate their milestones alongside their families. This personal touch has helped us build lasting relationships with families throughout Marlborough, Sudbury, and surrounding communities.
