Going to Cape Cod - safe place to keep Newf

[Violet]

Hi -
We are going on a vacation in Chatham in a few weeks and really want to bring our Newf, except that the place we are staying will not allow pets. Last year we were able to bring her and she had the best time swimming every day in the ocean. I am a little worried about the recent shark sightings though
Does anyone know a very good kennel up there or other boarding type facility or a private homecare setting? We are really hoping to be able to go get her and bring her on some outings to the beach with us during the day and bring her back wherever it is to sleep.
Thanks so much!

Actually I just realized that her avatar is from Cape Cod last summer

Depending on if you have a specific place where you want to stay, or if you've already booked your hotel, you might want to have a look at www.booking.com
After choosing the location & dates, choose "pets allowed" on the left hand side. That'll give all the options of the hotels in the area where dogs are allowed. I use is all the time when we're going anywhere.

FYI, When I was looking for dog friendly beaches, I noticed a lot in Provincetown, so maybe you'll find accomodations there too, if you don't mind traveling just a little further out on the Cape.

We've had good luck with our PetSmart Pet Hotel in MA (north shore of MA, though). If you have friends in the area you trust you could have them check the local one out for you?

Thanks for the replies. We are staying with family and they already rented the house- obviously they didnt realize we dont go anywhere with water without Violet
We went to Provincetown about 4 or 5 days, from Chatham, because the National Seashore beach there was unbelievable. Dragged the 3 kids an hour each way just so the dog could swim! We also went on a Whale Watch (from Provincetown) and she was allowed on the boat....people are always surprised when we mention that.
I will definitely check out the suggestions.
Thanks.

If you want I can check with my breeder and see if she suggests any place on the cape as she lives out on the cape.

You are welcome to bring her here for overnights! But I'm on the Upper Cape near Falmouth so that would be 45 minutes each way. I have grooming clients that have boarded at Nauset Kennels in Eastham and they have good reports. Here's a list of Lower/Outer Cape options:

Thanks everyone
Tricia2--- I will check out the places you recommended. Thanks for the offer to take her in....maybe we will take you up on it She has never been boarded so that is part of our hesitation.
SadiesMom- any recommendations from your breeder would be totally appreciated.
