Markover Kennels

Markover Kennels offers dog boarding and daycare in Danielson, CT, plus grooming and obedience training at its Cook Hill Road property. The kennel is state licensed and boards up to 20 dogs, so the operation stays small. Boarding is $60 per night.

What a boarding stay includes

Dogs stay in one of 20 kennels with indoor radiant heated floors underfoot. Runs are covered both indoors and outdoors, which keeps outside time on the schedule in rough weather. The fenced play areas sit on more than 300 acres, and dogs get walks to a private pond on the grounds. Staff can administer medications during a stay, and the property is supervised around the clock.

Training and transportation

Gun dog work is part of what this kennel does, including simulation hunts for bird dogs on request. That is a narrower specialty than most boarding facilities take on, and it shares the same acreage the boarding dogs walk. The van shuttle runs door to door throughout New England, which matters for owners who live well outside the Danielson area.

Hours and booking

Posted hours are 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, and 9 a.m. to noon on Sunday. Reservations are handled by phone at 860-412-9010. With only 20 kennels, calling well ahead is the sensible move for holiday weeks and summer vacations.
