Room For Paws Pet Resort is a family owned and operated 15,000sq. ft award winning luxury pet care resort that offers Doggy Daycare, All-suite Dog Boarding, Training, and a full service professional Grooming Spa with numerous luxury amenities.

Our resort features eight expansive play yards, including four outdoor spaces outfitted with K9Grass® and agility equipment, as well as four climate-controlled indoor yards for year-round comfort and fun! This unique setup allows us to thoughtfully curate small, balanced playgroups, ensuring a safe, engaging, and personalized experience for every guest.

In 2024, we proudly introduced our exclusive, trainer-led Puppy Training & Socialization Preschool Program. This immersive, all-day experience blends foundational obedience, potty and crate training, and guided socialization. Puppies also enjoy supervised “field trips” throughout our facility, including visits to the grooming spa, while being gently introduced to everyday sights, sounds, and experiences—helping them grow into confident, well-adjusted companions.

Our signature Hike For Paws Program offers a truly distinctive enrichment experience. Each nature hike is private or semi-private (limited to just two dogs), ensuring individualized attention. Conducted safely with leashes and harnesses, hikes are tailored to your dog’s pace and preferences, allowing for natural exploration, exercise, and meaningful bonding with our highly trained team.

Room For Paws Pet Resort proudly maintains one of the highest staff-to-dog ratios in Fairfield and Westchester Counties, reflecting our commitment to exceptional care and attention.

We welcome all new guests with a complimentary Discovery Daycare Day, where we thoughtfully assess your pup’s personality and preferences to place them in their ideal playgroup.
