Choosing a care facility for your dog is no small decision—and we get that. As pup parents ourselves, we at Room for Paws know just how important dog care is.
Whether it's for a day of daycare or a luxury, all-suite boarding stay, where your dog goes should feel like a second home, not just a place to be dropped off. That’s why we built our facility with one simple belief in mind: one size does not fit all.
Built with Dogs (and Their Humans) in Mind
As a family-owned facility, we had the freedom—and responsibility—to build something that truly reflects our values. Our 15,000 sq. ft. custom-designed facility is located in a quiet, safe area free from noisy traffic and even insulated from the sound of fireworks.
Our facility features:
- Fear Free™ colors throughout
- Specially designed acoustic materials to minimize sound
- Climate-controlled indoor areas
- A state-of-the-art HVAC system that cycles in fresh air every 10 minutes
- UV sanitizing lights
- Full floor drainage system
- Kuranda™ bedding
- Multiple drinking stations with reverse-osmosis filtered water
- Low-impact flooring
- Custom-made agility equipment
- Custom dog pools
- Mobility ramps
- Five indoor play yards
- Three fenced outdoor play yards outfitted with K9Grass™ and shaded areas
Every inch of our space was created based on what we knew dogs actually need, not just what looks good on paper.
Custom Care You Can Feel Good About
One of the main things that sets a family-owned facility apart is the customization and flexibility. All of our programs are curated to meet the specific needs of every guest—that’s the beauty of working with a tight-knit, knowledgeable team that sees your dog as an individual, not just a slot on a schedule.
We believe care should be personal, which is why we take the time to get to know each dog with a Daycare Discovery Day before placing them in their perfect playgroup. We offer the smallest playgroups in Fairfield and Westchester counties and group dogs by play style, age, and temperament.
In addition to our curated playgroups, we offer several add-on services and experiences to give your pup a boutique resort experience, including:
- Hike for Paws: Our trainer-led, safe, leashed outdoor nature hike program is a 90 minute field trip full of enriching experiences for pups of all ages. During the summer, we ensure we take pups out early in the morning to beat the heat, bring filtered water with ice for them to drink, and have cooling pads in the car.
- Puppy Preschool: A structured program designed to support socialization, confidence building, and foundational training during your puppy’s most critical developmental stage.
- Curated Training: Pick from a range of personalized training programs that can be added to any daycare or boarding stay, focusing on real-life skills and behavior goals unique to your dog.
- Grooming Spa: A bespoke, breed-specific grooming experience offering everything from basic baths to full spa treatments such as facials, all in a calm and gentle environment tailored to reduce stress.
And so much more!
In addition to our curated programs, we also host holiday events and even host summer parties twice a month, complete with pupsicles, splash pools, and enrichment activities—and, for the pup parents, our events include plenty of photo ops and raffles to win free services!
While these moments are fun (and adorable!), they also help pups build confidence and socialization skills.
Community-Driven, Not Chain-Run
At Room for Paws, we pride ourselves on being active members of our community. We’ve raised our family here and continue to share the love we have for our community. Whether it’s picking up pizza for our staff from a local shop, or picking up treats and dog food from a local pet store, we shop local whenever we can.
Being family-owned means we’re also community-rooted. That’s why we prioritize shopping locally, hosting and participating in community events, and continuously building connections with other local small businesses in the area.
If you're a local business looking to partner on an event, project, or even just connect, please don’t hesitate to reach out—we truly love making connections all across our community!
Experience the Difference a Family-Owned Dog Care Facility Makes
At Room for Paws, we’re driven by our values, not corporate commands or vanity metrics.
Since day one our goal has been to do right by every dog that walks through our doors and make every pup parent feel safe and confident entrusting us with their fur babies care.
We are continuously enhancing our services and expanding our offerings to better serve our esteemed guests and community. The dedication and passion we put into RFP is evident from the moment you step into our reception gallery, making it easy to see why so many discerning pup parents choose Room for Paws. We even have pet parents across the United States who fly back to Connecticut to leave their fur babies in our care before they go on vacation!
When you’re ready to join the Room for Paws family and give your pup a truly one-of-a-kind boutique experience, it’s as simple as filling out a reservation form and scheduling your pup's Daycare Discovery Day. If you have any questions or want to see our space, please contact us or stop by during our visitation hours!
