Dog Sitters in Rogers, CT

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Quinebaug Kennels (QK Dogs) and their incredible team. My Weimaraner, Tepper, recently completed a six-week training program with QK, and the experience has been nothing short of transformative for both of us. Watching her confidently work in the field, pointing and flushing out birds with precision, was a proud and unforgettable moment. Jennifer Broome, the amazing trainers Carlos and Travis. From the setup calls with Hillary, to millions questions Kyrena patiently answered for me every time I called, to the support staff behind the scenes that feed, bath, fill water bowls and so on, her entire staff went above and beyond throughout the entire process. Their dedication, professionalism, and consistent communication kept me informed and involved every step of the way. As a canine professional myself, I deeply appreciate the level of transparency and collaboration they offered. It truly felt like a partnership, where every question was welcomed, and every concern was addressed with care. The staff at QK demonstrated not only remarkable skill in training but also genuine love and respect for the animals in their care. They treated Tepper as one of their own, fostering her natural abilities and building her confidence. This journey has not only improved her as a bird dog but also strengthened our bond, making me a better leader for her. If you’re looking for a training facility that combines expertise with empathy, Quinebaug Kennels is the place. I am beyond grateful to be part of the QK family and highly recommend them to anyone seeking the very best for their dog. Thank you, QK Dogs, for everything!

They do the work and are continuously learning and improving their extensive skills and themselves. Don’t waste your time looking elsewhere, this is the place you’ve been looking for.

We recently sent our two 8-month old Labrador retrievers for four-week e-collar off-leash training with Carlee. We truly cannot say enough great things about the QK team from our first inquiry to the day we picked them up. Carlee was INCREDIBLE to work with. She is so knowledgeable and passionate about her job, which shined through in the growth and progress she made with our dogs. They are so much calmer, happier, and more focused after the time they spent working with Carlee. Professional training is an investment, but doing it through QK was a great decision and was worth every penny.

I brought my 6 month old pudelpointer here for the puppy class and added some gun dog training into it. 15 day class was long on my kids missing there new puppy but well worth it. Chris is very knowledgeable and did a great job with him and the dog has learned alot from what I have seen after 1 day of being home. I will be returning in the fall for some more gun dog tune up.

Just picked up my 7 mo. GSP puppy from a 2 week puppy training/intro to bird training with Carlos and I could not be more thankful! He is so much more confident, calm and respectful. It’s like night and day! I can’t wait to continue his training with QK and Carlos!

I have been taking my dog there for over a year for training and play care. She absolutely loves going and is so tired when she gets home. The trainers are great and my dog and I have learned so much from them. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I am very comfortable leaving her at QK and I know that she is in great hands.

Carlos and the QK team did a fabulous job on training my lab. It's a blast to watch her enjoy the freedom of off leash exploring. Amazing upland bird capabilities too! Extremely professional establishment and wonderful people. Highly recommend!

Personally speaking, the grounds are amazing. The property is absolutely perfect for training dogs. So glad that we chose QK Kennels. I dealt with Hilary and Carlos. And I would certainly utilize them again. Our little fireball has learned so many good things from this location. And we are quite happy with the results. Thank you so much!

Quinebaug Kennels is in my view the best dog training facility in New England. Their staff has deep experience and talent, and the produce astounding results.

Went for puppy boot camp and couldn't be happier. The staff worked with our 9 y/o daughter to help her feel confident in what she was doing with our 4 month old husky. We will absolutely be back for play care for continued work and training. Doesn't hurt to have a tired puppy at the end of it all either.

I highly recommends Happy Tails Pet Lodge. I have a dog that is very difficult with people. Anytime I drop her off, she happily goes back to her kennel without any problems.

Our dog was happy there and that is very important to us. The outside run is great and the sleeping quarters are big and not cramped.

Rhonda does a great job with the pets we have been here over 50 times dogs always seem happy...fenced in yard pets have a stall with plenty of room ..

Love it take great care of your pet as if it were their own such amazing people i highly reccomend them for your pet lodging services

My dogs are so happy here. This is their second home

Awesome place! My dog Coco loves going there!

Good place walk

our pup CANNOT wait to go play. she loves it and forgets we exist, the moment we arrive. I never worry about boarding her, at Candlewick! The photos are the best and the report card is so sweet! She is in amazing hands 🥰🐾

We were very happy with Candlewick Kennels in Glastonbury, CT. We boarded our furkid dog for 3 days. It was a great process from scheduling to check out. We signed him up for their doggy daycare while he was there so that he wouldn’t be alone all day. He had a free assessment before he arrived to be sure he would be a good candidate for mingling with a group of dogs. He passed and he loved it. We watched him on live CAMS. We knew he was happy. They gave him his meds! Staff is wonderful. He always gets groomed there.

Can’t recommend Candlewick Kennels enough! After a really bad experience at another local daycare/boarding facility, I was hesitant to bring my dog anywhere else — until I found Candlewick Kennels. I know my dog is in great hands here! He absolutely LOVES going to boarding / daycare. The staff is always so pleasant & I can tell they really care about all the dogs. They communicate any concerns immediately & are super responsive. Truly cannot recommend this place enough for any / all of your pet needs :)

This place is awesome. Great, friendly, efficient service at good prices. I had my Bernedoodle puppy’s first grooming done here yesterday and he looks like a brand new pup, in a great way!! Jessica did a fantastic job and we’ll be returning every month for a bath and brush at least until he’s a year old. And will continue to use for grooming.

I have been boarding my dog at Candlewick for the past 2 years. Also am frequently using daycare to keep him socialized. The staff is great and prices are similar to others. I love the web cam so I can check in whenever I want. I highly recommend.

Candlewick is the only place my wife and I are comfortable bringing our dog Iroh. The staff are always friendly, and remember him. Anytime he’s boarded their communication has been top notch. He once had an upset stomach while staying with them, and they called me and made a plan to add rice to his meals and keep us updated. We feel like he is safe and cared for, every single time. Doggie daycare is great, and they have live cameras so you can see how the dogs interact. There is always plenty of staff members. Their groomers are amazing and have an immense amount of patience. My dog is very energetic, and they do amazing work on him and he never comes home stressed. The groomer always checks what we want done first, and he comes home smelling amazing. This facility is 25 minutes from my house and we will never use anyone closer, peace of mind is huge.

Love letting our dog get social experiences here and feel comforted leaving her for extended boarding. Webcam option let's us check in whenever we like and report cards let us know how she behaved when we weren't looking

I don’t want to bring my dog to any other kennel. Some kennels you can sense when your pet does not want to be there if they stand at the door not wanting to go in. At Candlewick my dog has no problem with going with the staff. They really seem to care about peoples pets and not just treat them as an animal. I got texts from the staff when there was anything out of the ordinary happening with my dog. I love getting the snuggle sessions for my dog and getting the selfies texted to me. I would definitely recommend! You feel at ease sending your pet here and aren’t worried they are scared or miserable when you are away.

My dog Teddy previously went to multiple Petco locations over the years for grooming but the stylists always said that he gets nippy with them so recommend going to a private groomer. I have brought Teddy to Candlewick for recurring 7-8x week grooming appointments for the past 4 years and their report card always gives him high praises. This just shows that environment and space really do make a big difference when it comes to our fur babies wellbeing and comfort. I have not done the boarding service yet but will definitely not hesitate if needed to. Their app allows viewing of the playtime areas so you can virtually check to see how the pups are doing as well which is a huge win I think for dog parents. Teddy is an elder dog now so he likes being alone which Candlewick also accommodates for dogs who need to board solo. Overall great services, and super friendly staff! Thanks from me and Teddy!

Candlewick is great! My dogs love staying there and the staff is amazing. They were very accommodating at pick up when there was a misunderstanding on my part. I highly recommend for daycare and boarding.

The kennel is clean, not fancy and reasonably priced. They truly care about the animals and have been in business for many years. They are the best.

We have brought our boxer Roxy here twice now will continue to do so. Roxy has high anxiety and is one of the rare that will stop eating when kenneled as she thinks that she has been abandoned. This second time we brought canned dog food to assist in the kennel bribing her into eating. Thomas gave her extra attention, petting, and took the time to mix 1/4 can into her normal food so that she would eat some. Their facility is very clean and they are genuinely caring towards the dogs boarded here. Their boarding rates are transparent and very reasonable.

Great place! Our dog loves this facility and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. It's cash or check for payment, but the prices are very reasonable and transparent. Easy to get to and good hours. Give them a shout the next time you need to board a dog!

This was our dogs first time being kenneled at Apex. Thank you for taking such great care of our dogs Penny, and Bailey. My dogs were spoiled and loved while at Apex. I called to check on my dogs after their first night, and Tom called me once while we were away to let me know how well my dogs were doing. You can tell that Tom loves what he does. My dogs got a bath before they came home, and were brushed too. We will definitely be bringing our dogs back to Apex. Thank you for a great experience and loving my dogs!

Friendly family owned business! The kennel and office area is kept clean and tidy. They have their own kennel food if you wish to use it or you can bring your own. It's recommended to bring your own blankets so your pet is comfy, unless your pet is destructive then I'd advise against it. They are conscious of different breeds needs and provided our mastiff with a raised feeder. Discounted rates for military and extended stays are offered. PLEASE NOTE: that they only accept cash or checks, not credit or debit cards.

We have used Apex Stoney Brook kennel many time for both our dogs - Max and Sheba. They are professional, caring and reliable. The first time I left our pets at the kennel (many years ago now & the first time at any kennel !) I cried all the way home..... While I wouldn't have expected it - Tom (one of the owners) took the time to call me while I was away to let me know that both Max and Sheba were doing fine.... that to me speaks volumes ! Not fancy but that's not what really matters to me - it's knowing my "fur-babies" are in good hands.

Familiar with many breeds. My German shepherd is an angel for them and normally doesn’t like people. I have them walk and bathe my dog when he’s there for extended stays. I tend to call last minute and they have always been accommodating with my schedule. They genuinely care about you and your pets!

Ellen and Tommy are wonderful, Ellen is very knowledgeable with our 4 legged friends, Tommy is definitely a go getter! Together they have an amazing team! Two of the kindest people that truly care for animals, they are both very detailed oriented, and pay close attention to each and every animal. I have boarded my cats at Apex for over one month, they catered to my needs and provide a safe environment. I would definitely recommend Apex for boarding cats and dogs!

I heard so many positive experiences with this kennel and saw the great reviews. It all looked very promising. First time boarder, I boarded my two dogs here August 26th-30th. One of my dogs has a poultry allergy. Each dog is on a different food. Everything was labeled from food, bowls, feeding instructions. Mishaps happen but I got a call that my poultry allergy dog was fed my puppy's chicken food. From assuming the color of the kibble than reading the labels on everything. Our trip got cut short so the dogs were picked up Sunday morning. Upon pick up, the dogs came running into the office looking dazed. Once the dogs were situated on leashes, I noticed a distinct smell of urine and saw something crusted on their face and bodies. They reeked. When leaving, they were barely responsive upon calling them. I figured they were tired from playing. After they were bathed, they started to act more themselves. Sunday night I hear one of my dogs coughing. It's been determined he has kennel cough. I'm unsure how this happened when all dogs are required the bordatella vaccine. Or my dogs had been in contact with another client's dogs in the play pen or in passing.

We boarded our 8 year old cat Blot at Apex Stoney brook kennel during a long and difficult move between AK, FL and CT from 17 Dec 2013 until 14 January 2014. We found the kennel exceptional when dropping her off including the professional but personable folks that own and work the kennels. The cat condos were amazing and our somewhat travel traumatized pet settled right in. When we picked her up she was in great shape and spirits and all the small personal touches of the owner Ellen and her son Tom made a great impression on both my husband and myself. We will not hesitate to use them again when we need a kennel and count ourselves fortunate to have found them!

Bridgette (the owner) is excellent and I am very happy with the whole experience. I believe Bridgette is also a dog trainer to so my Old English Bulldog, Tug was in good hands. I was worried about Tug being locked up in a cage but instead he hung out in her office on a couch. He also does not get along well with other dogs but when I came to get him he had actually made friends!! She also gave him a bath and cleaned his ears. On New Year's Eve she texted us some photos of Tug playing and it brought a huge smile to our faces and great relief to know he was in very good hands. This was also Tug's first experience being boarded and I doubt it could have been better. I am very happy with my experience with Hercules' Hotel for Dogz!

No matter where I'm living, when I get another dog she will come to Markover for training. Joe did a phenomenal job teaching Nellie how to be the best pet and bird dog. Nellie was the WILDEST child with hints of loyalty, but a HUGE prey drive and therefore flight risk. I didn't want to send her to training for the fear of missing her too much but it ended up being the best decision ever. I get compliments on her obedience on almost every walk/run we take. If you're considering a board and train do it! Your dog will have a blast here. Nellie is always thrilled to be back at the preserve (and you know it's a good place when they encourage dogs on the couch - see photo attached)

We first brought our 2 dogs in for daycare for a few weeks prior to boarding to get them used to the kennel and new people. I'm glad I found you guys and felt we made the right decision for the boys. I trust Markover over anyone to watch my dogs and have referred others to them. Everything was clean, spacious for doggies to run around and great staff and family that make things run smooth and put myself at ease. We will definitely be back!!

We brought our 7-year-old rescue to Markover for training. It was a wonderful experience. He now walks quietly at my side without lunging at others on the street. It was a pleasure to work with Joe, the trainer. He answered all my questions both before and after the training and was most patient as he trained ME!

We’ve locally boarded our German Shepherd, Luca, for several years with ZERO satisfaction from another kennel. After some research, my wife came across Markover Kennels that came with high reviews. Initially, we had Luca groomed at Markover back in May with Cathy. Luca responded very positively, where he looked happy and handsome! Most recently, we decided to board Luca at Markover Kennels for 8 days while on a family summer vacation….REMARKABLE! Justin and his staff gave Luca tons of attention and walks. Above all, the communication was second to none! Thank you, Justin and staff. WE WILL BE BACK! Sincerely, Scott + Amy

We have gone to Markover 3-4 times with my baby Rosie. Today she had a spa date with Michelle the groomer, who is just marvelous with our little girl! I highly recommend this place!!♥️

We have a very shy dog, pitbull mix. She had only been in a kennel 3 other xs., but that kennel closed. When u have a shy, timid dog it's difficult to find a kennel that u feel confident in. Markover was the best choice! We brought her once for a grooming and she did great, even with hearing dogs barking. It's easy to tell if people are dog lovers, and the owner and staff are absolutely dog lovers! They let our dog come to them, and she actually did!! Dogs are very perspective, so this was a positive for us. If a dog doesn't eat, they cook chicken and rice to add to their food. They take them for walks, and when we came to pick her up, she was out for her ( morning walk ) with one of the staff. All this is explained to us prior to leaving her. And they gave us a report as to how she did. I can't say enough positive things about Mark over kennels, and would highly recommend them. Thank you again Dave and Sue

Boarded my lab Archie there in the spring for boarding and gundog training. Justin and the crew were awesome. Personalized communication, spotless facility and beautiful grounds. Five stars

Cady Falls Grooming at Markover Kennels If you are looking for a groomer that is not only excellent at listening to how you want your family pet groomed but most importantly cares for your pet like it was part of her own family - then Cathy is the right groomer for you. Our MalShi, Dusty, was never a happy camper when he sensed he was going in for a grooming, but all that changed with Cathy and we are thankful for that. We travel extensively, and we would have to take him to different groomers - but not after Cathy - Now we wait to get back to CT to take him to Cathy. Shr has been grooming Dusty for several years. She is also a breeder of award winning dogs and we think that training has helped to make her the caring groomer she is. The new facilities are spotless, and state of the art - so aside of knowing your dog is in good hands with Cathy - you and your dog are in a great facility. While I wish they would set up a second shop in Glastonbury, CT - For now, she and the new facility are worth the trip. Not sure their address is in this listing, so just in case - it is 699 Cook Hill Road, Danielson, CT

For boarding -Heated cement indoor/outdoor area but they provide raised hammock beds for the dogs. On site there is also grooming and training. One stop shopping which is wonderful. Really nice people.

Committed team. The entire staff knew my puppy’s name when I dropped him off and he was happy, healthy and in a good mental state when i picked him him up. I’ll definitely board my pup here again, It’s worth the 80 mile drive each way to know my dog is happy and taken care off.

I was SO happy with my pups services! She looked SO cuuute & clean! She’s 4 months, her first grooming - so I’m sure it wasn’t easy, they did a great job & she seemed to have been so comfortable & happy with their team. I will definitely be using them for all their services again! Highly recommend!

Great people. They took care of my cat with no issues. Everyone was so friendly and inviting.

Thank you for taking care of Bellini for the last minute extented stay ! So nice to know we can depend on Morningstar !

The staff is always so friendly and welcoming. Maverick comes home nice and tired out and always eager to go.

As a fur momma to a young skittish rescue pup and a first time user of a kennel, I had a lot of questions and nervousness. Morning Star immediately put me at ease. They kindly answered all of my questions, explained their daily routine and assured me my dog would be well care for. Morning Star patiently helped her overcome the initial anxiety, then eased her into the social groups to play and make friends. After 8 days I returned to a very happy, groomed and tired-in-a-good-way pup! I would recommend Morning Star to anyone looking for a safe, loving, home environment for their dogs that will ease your mind while you are away.

Lily loves her time at the pet resort. Everyone is very caring and I have no concerns leaving her there when I am away and can't have her with me. They do a wonderful job grooming as well.

Hello, My dog stayed at Morning Star Farm for the second time this past August and the staff were great. The resort and farm are a wonderful place for a dog if your dog is the type that would like a farm and has a lot of energy. The fact that this may be the first review I have written in years should speak volumes. Don’t hesitate to book-you won’t regret it and the break from your dog is nice one in a while! In closing we were very pleased and will use Morning Star again in the future!

Absolutely wonderful staff my 3.5 month old puppy was a rockstar and she loved playing with everyone. I can’t say enough about the care she got

Stephanie did a great job introducing me to the facility and procedures. I have only left our pup there one day but I was pleased with everything. Bella a happy but tired pup when I picked her up.

This is the second time for us to board our cats at Purrfectly Peacful. Kevin is a very caring person. Thanks for taking care of our furry friends 💜 …

This place is a hidden gem for your kitties! Amy and Kevin are wonderful and took great care of my Abby while I was on vacation. They provided lots of updates and photos. The space is clean and the kitties love it there. Thank you!!

I highly recommend! I brought my two cats here a few times now and I know they’re in good hands!

Such nice people. It's great knowing my cat is so well taken care of while I'm away

Purrfectly Peaceful is fantastic. My first interactions with Kevin for booking were very friendly, professional, and prompt. When I dropped off my 16 year old elder kitties, I met with Amy. We had such a nice chat as we waited for my girls to acclimate. The boarding room is gorgeous - homey, immaculate, and spacious. These folks genuinely care about cats, and I love that Amy kept in touch throughout their stay and sent me photos and updates on how they were doing. As older cats, they have some extra needs - Kevin and Amy went above and beyond to ensure their comfort, safety, and happiness. Not to mention, their services are incredibly affordable and topnotch quality which brings me such peace of mind as a graduate student trying to make ends meet. I am eternally grateful that I found Purrfectly Peaceful Cat Boarding, and will be going back for the next time my kitties need a place to stay! There's no place like home, but Kevin and Amy's kitty accommodations are the closest you can get!!

Purrfectly Peaceful is a perfect cat boarding facility. They provide personal love and care to their boarding cats and treat them as their own during the time they are guests. The daily prices are very reasonable. Amy and Kevin are the owners and are very personable and organized. This was the first time we were going to leave our 13 year old cat, Rusty, alone while away on vacation, and decided to try boarding him. After meeting with both owners and seeing their custom facility which is attached to their home, I was quite comfortable leaving Rusty with Purrfectly Peaceful. He was in good hands. He spent seven days there. He was fed well and treated with love while we were gone. I would definitely use their services again.

I cannot say enough about Purrfectly Peaceful! My cat is very timid and this was her first time boarding anywhere. The owners were extremely caring and accommodating. The room is adorable, very neat, clean and well taken care of!

Great cattery. Homey and fastidiously clean with large cages, lots of light and owners who truly care about you and your pet. EDIT 11/13/2023: My thankfulness to owners Kevin ans Amy is boundless. Here is Kevin with Mumbles after an emergency situation required boarding assistance. I couldn't be more grateful for the tenderness they show my shy boy.

Great service. Very clean, pleasant smelling facility. The owners have always been flexible and tolerant of my (at times) last minute or unsure scheduling. They are also just very nice, good folks to deal with.

My cat was obviously loved and well taken care of. Thank you so much
