Founded on veterinary know-how

Built by a vet tech. Inspired by a 2.5 lb Min Pin named Chewie.

Chewie's Playland was founded by Bonnie Sommers — a veterinary technician of 18 years — to give Nashua dogs a clean, safe and fun place to grow their social skills while you're away.

That medical background means seniors, puppies and pets with special needs are cared for — and monitored — by people who know what to look for. If emergency care is ever needed, we can act fast.

Not your typical kennel

Every guest is screened for vaccines and a negative fecal test for the healthiest environment possible.

Boarders are never alone — supervised overnight by technicians and qualified staff.

Happy humans

"Like entrusting her to a close friend"

★★★★★

Bringing my pup there is like entrusting her to a close friend. I can contact Bonnie anytime and she responds quickly. I can tell my pup is getting enough playtime because she's exhausted by the time we get home.

★★★★★

Last-minute decision to bring them to Chewie's and now I will always bring them here. One of our dogs is timid and she came home more confident than ever. Bonnie really treated my dogs like they were her own.

★★★★★

Walk in and you can tell — the dogs and the people are happy! They are playing together inside and outside in the fenced-in grassy area. Highly recommended!
