What sets it apart

A few things here go past what a standard boarding kennel offers. Owners receive daily report cards with photos or videos from their dog's day. The resort also runs an on-site ice cream counter, sells bakery treats and retail items, and hosts seasonal parties, enrichment activities, and birthday celebrations.

Training and grooming are handled in the same building, so a boarding stay can include a bath or a session without a second trip across town. That mix suits dogs who need more to do than a plain kennel day gives them.

Hours, rates, and booking

The Newington location is open 6:30 AM to 7:00 PM Monday through Sunday. Published rates run $31 to $40 per day. Booking is handled over the phone at (860) 621-7387, so calling ahead is the way to hold a spot. The address is 280 Hartford Ave, Newington, CT 06111.
