Leashrly Life local dog parks

If you're in the Leashrly Life area (Norfolk, Massachusetts) you may want to check out these great places to have some fun with your dog.  Thanks to http://www.ecoanimal.com/dogfun/massachusetts.html for this great information.

• Foxboro Dog Park is located off Mill St in Foxboro behind the baseball field. You must show your license to get in and your dog must be registered in the town you live in. There is a pond area with a beach for the dogs to swim.  You'll need to bring your own fresh water.

• Gilbert Hills State Forest is located in Foxboro and Wrentham. There is swimming for dogs in several water holes and brooks.  Trails run throughout the park.  Dogs can be off leash but motorized bikes share the park as well.  They do have a hunting season as well. Heading south on Route 1 from Walpole, enter Foxboro, take left onto High Rock Road.

• Beaver Pond is located at Beaver Recreation Area on Beaver St. in Franklin. It has a small pond with a beach and several walking trails.

Pet care options during vacation time

Pet Sitting Services


Sometimes you want personalized, in-home care for your pet.  A one-on-one residential pet sitting service would be an option, where your pet is treated like a member of the family.  The pet sitter invites your pet or pets to stay in his or her home for the duration of your vacation.  There may be a discount if you only need an overnight stay (for a weekend trip).

Maybe you feel more comfortable leaving your pet at doggy day care than leaving him alone all day.  Maybe you need somewhere to take her when the cable guy comes by.  Some caregivers will even pick up or drop off your pet for day care services.   


Pet visits to your home are another option. The pet sitter can come to your home once or several times a day depending upon your typical schedule. This will allow your pet to keep it's normal routine, remain safe and comfortable and still receive exercise and personal care.

Leashrly Life provides all these services, plus pet exercise and dog obedience training.  Check out the website at http://www.leashrlylife.com/.
