Jamaica Plain is in Massachusetts, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Jamaica Plain follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

Tails is the best local doggo daycare in JP. My dog has so much fun and always comes back a little tired and smelling sweet.

I’m happy I decided to take my 7 month old puppy Bella here for grooming after being told by other groomers that Bella was aggressive when it came to handling her. Couldn’t be farther from the truth, took a couple tries at different places to finally find someone who got my baby. She was an absolute angel with Vanthry she even took some pictures and videos for me. Vanthry was surprised herself she thought she was going to be a difficult dog based off of what I told her but was completely the opposite to my surprise and hers. I’m extremely happy Vanthry told me she was perfect and not aggressive at all. She adjusted the water pressure and understood what my dog needed to feel more comfortable and happy during her groom. Picked her up and couldn’t stop smelling her all day. She smelled so good. Her nails were cut to perfection. Very please and happy with my service. This will be my new spot from now on.

Please do NOT take your double coated long haired dog to this place for grooming. I took my shetland sheepdog to Tails for what I thought would be a simple grooming session. I explicitly told the person at the front desk NOT to trim or cut any fur on her face- just to trim the hair between her paw pads, her butt and her legs. When I picked her up, I was horrified to see that they had trimmed her fur on her face, completely ignoring my instrcutions. My looks absolutely terrible now. Her once beautiful face is ruined, and I have no idea if her hair will ever grow back the same way. To make matters worse, when I tried to speak to the groomer to understand what went wrong, I was told by the front desk that she doesn't speak English, implying that I couldn't communicate with her at all. This is unacceptable! I am extremely upset and disappointed with the service at Tails. They showed a complete lack of professionalism and disregard for my specific requests. I would not recommend this place to anyone who cares about their pet's appearance and well-being. See pictures for before and after.
