Love Us & Leave Us

We aren't your average dog care facility! Our dedicated staff are not only true dog lovers, they are pet first aid certified and go through a training program specific to dog daycare and boarding professionals. Owners should feel confident that your furry companions are having a safe and fun time while they are traveling or at work. That's the dream Renee DeRagon realized in 2006 with Love Us and Leave Us. With over 18 years of experience, our 2 daycare and boarding facilities have become the premier choice for dogs throughout the Berkshires. We provide an assortment of enrichment activities and plenty of snuggle time. Every dog friend or family member we host will experience joy, compassion and care, because they are part of our family too!

Our Services

We offer free range boarding for dogs in Pittsfield, where dogs sleep in an apartment with a staff member and other boarding dogs, and beautiful kennel suites in Lee for dogs, as well as huge "catios" for cats and room for small animals and birds! We are proud to offer a variety of boarding options to best suit your pet's needs. You can rest assured that in either facility your pet will spend their time engaged, loved and well-cared for.

Testimonials

We've been fortunate to receive wonderful feedback from our happy clients over the years. Here are a few testimonials that highlight our commitment to providing the best possible care for your pets:

"I've been taking my dog there for years, and he LOVES IT! He's one happy, pooped pup for days after. A very clean, well run, secure place. They even offer nature hikes when he's up for it. Great employees too." - Dan W., 2017

"Bringing my dog Bass to LuLu has been by far the best thing I could have done for him. He has been going 5 days a week for the last 2.5 years and is a high energy Siberian Husky and requires a lot of attention and exercise. He has the freedom to run outside in the large enclosed back yard or go inside to take a nap. The staff all all phenomenal and extremely friendly. I wouldn't trust anyone else to take care of my dog better than they do. I know he is safe, he is having fun and he comes home tired after a long day of playing." - Tracy L., February 2019

"Great place for dogs! Inside has multiple rooms (is way bigger than it looks) and the owner is clearly very passionate about what she does, and has a great team working for her. My dog has gone to other dog day cares in the past and been overwhelmed with the amount of dogs in the space provided, but here he has no problems. He is picky with his people, and seems to like everyone working here (which is a huge first!) Very excited for this great addition to Lee!" - Alyssa B., February 2022

"I adore them. My dog always comes home tired and is always excited to be dropped off." - Kecia W., January 2022

"I had my Aussie-doodle groomed @ the Lee location and they did a great job. The whole experience was top notch and we will definitely be going back." - Kimberly G., September 2022

"Both my dogs have been going to LULU Lee for a year + and they loved it. In December last year my older dog developed PTSD as a result of a dog attack (that happened elsewhere) and many, many things in her life that she loved became too difficult for her. The staff at LULU was incredibly supportive of her as she worked through her fears/panic attacks and she now is able to spend time there again. Even though she can't yet handle being in the yard it is huge that she is willing to be at daycare and she loves the attention she gets from everyone." - December 2022

"I can't say enough great things about LULU! Miss Lily Pad is cautious of other dogs and strangers because of a bad experience in a shelter. She was a little nervous (tail between her legs and trembling all over) but after one day she quickly found buddies to play and hang out with. anytime she wants in their open space free range daycare. The place is soooo quiet compared to other doggy daycares. No whining. no crying. These are happy dogs! Overnights are staffed so no worries about our furry friends not being cared for. Staff is fantastic. You can tell they love our buddies. If i could give."
