New Canaan, CT Dog Grooming & Luxury Dog Boarding
At Room for Paws Pet Resort, we provide unparalleled dog care designed around each dog’s individual needs. Located nearby in Stamford, Connecticut, our vet-recommended facility redefined local dog care as the first all-suite boarding facility in Fairfield County, CT.
With customized care, thoughtful handling, and attentive supervision—supported by the highest human-to-canine ratio in Fairfield and Westchester Counties—we create a calm, safe, and enriching environment whether your dog is visiting for grooming or an overnight stay.
Experienced Groomers Dedicated to Exceptional Results
With more than 30 years of combined grooming experience, our team understands the grooming routines, coat management, and styling preferences that specific breeds require. We work with dogs of all ages, sizes, and coat types, delivering consistent results through thoughtful techniques and individualized care.
Our goal is to balance technical precision with gentle handling. We prioritize emotional well-being alongside physical care, creating a calm, low-stress environment designed to help dogs feel safe and supported. During all of our services, dogs receive breaks when needed, have free access to water, and we move at a pace that supports their comfort, allowing them time to reset if they become overstimulated.
Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, we tailor every grooming session to the dog in front of us, offering:
- Customized spa routines (including bathing, ear cleaning, teeth brushing, and finishing touches like blueberry facials)
- Breed-specific cuts tailored to coat texture, lifestyle, and maintenance needs
- Customized brushing and de-shedding plans to support healthy coats
- Nail trimming and Dremeling performed thoughtfully to encourage healthy quick recession
- Slow-dry rooms
- Individualized handling based on temperament, comfort level, and grooming history
Additionally, we work with vet-prescribed shampoos or specialty products to support our guests with sensitive skin or allergy-prone pups.
Because grooming can be scheduled alongside other services, it’s easy to coordinate care without extra trips. Our grooming services integrate seamlessly into your dog’s stay, whether they’re joining us for daycare or enjoying their own luxury retreat, ensuring they head home freshly groomed and feeling their best. For the safety of every guest, all dogs entering our facility—including those visiting for grooming only—must be fully vaccinated.
Boutique, All-Suite Dog Boarding
Our all-suite boarding experience was created to give dogs a calm, comfortable place to rest while maintaining familiar routines. Some key features include:

With us, dogs are treated like family, with consistent supervision and attention tailored to their personality.
