our history
who we are
How Pet Recess Began!
In late 2006, our founder, Julia Dixon, saw a need for doggie daycare in the South Shore area as she searched for a facility for her two Labradoodles. We started with a small house and land in Middleboro in mid-2007.
Our Steady Growth Trend Over the next two years, we grew from one dog to 20 daily guests and moved to a larger facility in mid-2010. By the end of 2010, we were a corporation.
The Lakeville MoveAs Pet Recess, Inc., we purchased the former K9 Country Club on Route 105 in Lakeville, Massachusetts, when the Starrs retired in 2015. We built a 3,000-square-foot, climate-controlled, divided play space. Other upgrades to the Lakeville location include central air and heat in the boarding kennels, an expanded grooming room with updated equipment, and new fencing for totally secure and spacious play areas.

Best grooming experience! I asked for a de shedding shampoo. My dog came home with so much more! Her winter coat is gone and she smells great, super soft and beautifully trimmed but NOT shaved. Tessa seems happy and content.

Our dog Jesse has been going to Pet Recess for about a year now. He LOVES it! He gets excited as soon as we pass a certain spot on our drive there when he realizes where he’s going. He comes home exhausted! It’s a great service at a great price when both my husband and I have to work. They’ve been more than accommodating when we need them, and we’re great getting him for grooming last minute (we are terrible at scheduling) but I can’t say enough positive things about Pet Recess!
Kristen Rollock
Awesome experience! While traveling our plans for our 8 month old puppy's daycare fell through. They were so helpful and accommodating-they were able to provide a same day interview, and provided two full days of daycare. He came home happy & tired! Thank you so much--we will be happy to bring him back the next time we are visiting family in the area.

We took our puppy Piper in today for her first grooming appointment here. We felt very welcome from the get-go and Piper went right on in. She can get a little nervous when being groomed and I LOVED the fact that they called to let me know she was anxious about the dryer, so they were going to skip it. I appreciate the focus on her happiness and well-being! She came home smelling great. Thank you Pet Recess! We will be back.
