Traffic Patterns Through July 9

The Boston Seaport is a bustling location for the summer and with that, we are learning quickly that road closures due to events in the Seaport are occurring as arbitrarily as a winning starting pitcher for a certain team (yes, I said it).

With that, we encourage you for the next 3 weeks or so to use Dry Dock Ave to Black Falcon to avoid one of these arbitrary-don't-care-if-businesses-are-impacted-one-bit closures. 

On the other hand, if you are interested in attending one of the many events in the Seaport area, and want to use our much beloved evening care service from 6 pm to 11 pm, remember you can park your car at Fenway Bark and walk to your event.  Our evening care is $24 and last time I checked parking in the Seaport, it was $25 for the evening.  Use that extra dollar to buy your pup a duck foot one of our other treats!

No Hot Dogs at Fenway Bark!


It might have been steamy outside last week but inside Fenway Bark the pup were all nice and cool.  Just like their human families, dogs like to enjoy a frozen treat once in a while.  On the hottest days of last week, many of our climate controlled canines enjoyed Yoghunds in the privacy of their own rooms.  Yoghunds, frozen peanut butter kongs, frozen yogurt kongs, and raw marrow bones are always available for purchase for your pup while in our care.

Summer Romances at Fenway Bark


Marvin didn't know when he flew across the country from Seattle to live in Boston that at his first stop, Fenway Bark, he would fall in love.  Marvin loves Lily.  He really, really loves Lily.  When he sees Lily, no other dogs matter to him.  Perhaps it is the way she says "Arf" without the "r" or that she likes a baseball team with a DH, whatever the reason, he is in love.  And doesn't everyone like a good puppy love story to start their week?

Traffic Patterns June 29 - July 9

Fenway Bark is in the heart of the Tall Ships celebration June 29 - July 9.  During this time Cruise ships, Cirque de Soleil, Bank of America Pavilion, and the Tall Ships will all be generating a lot of traffic in the area and Seaport Blvd will have limited access the entire week and will close completely on the 4th of July. 

To that end, we strongly encourage you to use Dry Dock Ave to Black Falcon the entire window of the Tall Ships celebration.  We also encourage you to plan additional time to get to and from Fenway Bark.  We will do our best to alert you to special circumstances that may effect your commute. 

Parking at Fenway Bark will be limited to only employees and guests using our services.  We can not accommodate parking for guests who use our services at other times of the year but want to be in the heart of all the festivities.
