Downtown Somerville is proud to welcome you and your four-legged friends! Our Dog-Friendly Initiative was created to make it easier than ever for residents and visitors to explore, shop, dine, and enjoy everything downtown has to offer with their dogs by their side.

Through this initiative, participating businesses have opted in to be recognized as dog-friendly and are committed to creating a welcoming environment for well-behaved pups. Whether you’re grabbing a coffee, browsing local shops, or enjoying a meal outdoors, you’ll find plenty of spots that are happy to accommodate you and your canine companion.

🐶 What to Expect

Dog-friendly businesses may offer:

• Outdoor seating where dogs are welcome
• Water bowls or treats for pups
• Friendly staff who love meeting your furry companions

(Amenities vary by location—check the map or contact businesses directly for details.)

🐾 Be a Responsible Dog Visitor

To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone, we ask that all dog owners:

• Keep dogs on a leash at all times
• Clean up after your pet
• Be mindful of other guests and business policies

🐕 Join the Pack

We’re always looking to grow our dog-friendly community! If you’re a business interested in participating, or a visitor with questions, feel free to reach out.

Bring your pup, explore downtown, and experience Somerville in a whole new way—because everything’s better with a dog by your side.
