“Anna is extremely kind and caring and super at communicating throughout the day. I can tell she makes my puppy very happy! Can also tell she pays close attention to detail in her care of dogs. Anyone would be quite lucky to have her dog sit for them! Nothing but a glowing review from me.”

About: At Crate Escape, safety is our top priority. We maintain a secure, clean, and well-supervised environment where every dog is monitored by experienced staff. All dogs undergo a temperament trial before joining group play to ensure compatibility and minimize stress. Playgroups are carefully matched by size, temperament, and energy level, with continuous supervision to prevent overstimulation or conflict. Our facilities are equipped with secure fencing, climate control, and sanitized daily using pet-safe disinfectants. We also follow strict vaccination requirements and emergency protocols to ensure every dog in our care is safe, healthy, and happy.

Crate Escape - CharlestownLocal facility
“Crate Escape is amazing! I have three dogs who all attend and absolutely love it. My dog Skye goes to the High Spirited Hounds program and has a blast. Skye is an amazing dog who has some behavioral concerns so regular day care wasn’t a good fit for her. I’m so grateful that High Spirited Hounds is a perfect fit. She is able to go, get enrichment and training. She comes home tired at the end of the day, happy, and with better manners. I couldn’t be happier with the program. My other two dogs Pilot and Twix go to Crate Escape’s daycare and also absolutely love it! They have so much fun and are so excited to go in the morning. It’s so clear that the staff truly care about Pilot, Twix, and Skye, and keep them safe and happy during the day. I couldn’t be more grateful for Crate Escape and how much my dogs love it there, and I would recommend Crate Escape highly to anyone looking for a program for their dog.”

David M.Star Sitter
“Dave and dogs! There isn't a greater match made in heaven. His active and friendly nature helps all animals to relate and find confort by his side. Whether he is taking them for a hike, walk, swim, or just spending some time with them, Dave always finds ways to make his pups bark with joy! My husband and I have a lab named Marley who, when she sees Dave, runs to her playmate as if he was her family. There isn't anyone I trust more with my furbaby than Dave.”
