Pet Boarding Training near Bloomfield

“Great place my Valkyrie loves to go to daycare. I love the way we are able to see her on camera. The staff is friendly.“

“I brought my 3 month old Cavapoo to get her vaccinations. I cannot say enough about how great the service is and how pleasant all the staff are. They answered all my questions and each time I go back they are all just as professional and friendly as the first time. I received a welcome kit and a beautiful welcome card in the mail from them. My puppy has no fear going to vet and I would highly recommend them!

“Just a Rave because I'm so happy. I've had many amazing vets for my cats over the years, and it's always nerve-wracking every time I move to be sure I get the best I can for my dear kitties, though I know just like with people docs, most are good.

Moved again, and Oliver needed his old man physical, and had been vomiting some here and there. Our new vet here, Dr Haining, has been beyond stellar. She took his symptoms seriously, did a great work up, suggested a new diet, and he's acting like a younger self ever since, with no more vomiting and burping! She also did great dentistry for his ongoing dental disease. On top of the thorough care, she and her staff are just lovely and delightful humans. They truly treat my cat like he were their own.“

“Take it from a childless cat mom…

I’m a Sphynx mom for 33 years loving our second rescue when the pandemic takes the family cat caregiver.
Extensive research for the must haves (cats only, kitty cat cameras), and a few interviews later I clicked with Kim.
She and her staff of cat spoilers may humbly say hotel and grooming for cats only. The name RESORT doesn’t begin to tell the story of what we’ve learned since 2021 when leaving our daughter in their care during our 5+ trips every year.
We view the camera in her suite, extensively, to make sure her cat mate auto feeder works after the hour long ride there, to see what she’s up to, and mostly because we miss her. So many times someone has happily made an extra trip in to charge the battery only we seem to drain so regularly.
Watching the camera we’ve learned extra trips are the specialty. No matter what or when the cats need it, not just drop off and pick up times are they on duty, but ALWAYS! No matter if it’s a tummy ache, a crying stressed kitty who needs extra time and love, medication, frequent feedings, anything, they notice and respond. Did we mention scheduling flexibility for unforeseen situations?
We knew about ‘above and beyond’, but when our little bandit broke her cat mate feeder into 3 pieces, two staff spent half an hour troubleshooting on the phone with us until it was up and running. I honestly thought it couldn’t get any better. Until… we killed the camera battery again right before the night feeding and when Kim saw our email she went in to make sure she actually ate and change the battery at 2AM.
Eternally grateful Kim.
NOBODY does it better!
Look no further cat parents.“

“This is a very special place. They took exceptional care for our dog for years until it was her time. When it was, they went above and beyond to give her a calm, loving, patient send off to the other side. I cannot even begin to express on here how wonderful the staff and doctors are at Farmington Animal Hospital. We were never pressured to make expensive decisions, we were always given options, and never felt judged. This is by far the best vet in the greater Hartford Area.“

“Joyful Paws Kasey Nash Review
I’m writing this review for Kasey Nash, Joyful Paws, because she is a superb trainer and I’m very grateful that she trained our dog Daisy to become a service dog. Daisy is a mini labradoodle and was 2 ½ when she began training with Kasey. Previously she had had two intermediate classes at the K-9 Connecticut Education Center.
To summarize, in our first session Kasey explained in detail what would be involved, and stressed the importance of my involvement. Daisy had 20 lessons spread out over 6 months. Lessons took place in Kasey’s very well equipped basement, Home Goods, Target, Petco, and Cabela Sports. Kasey sent detailed notes after each lesson on what and how to practice, and how to take commands to new levels. Daisy bonded with Kasey the first day, and became very excited at even the mention of “Kasey”.
After a 5 week evaluation period she received her “Service Puppy in Training Vest” (a proud day). Approximately five months later, Daisy did a fantastic job on her service dog test which lasted more than two hours.
Daisy’s primary task was location assistance and guidance. She learned to guide me through a department store such as Home Goods, stop at curbs outside, and more. To name just a few commands: Left, right, forward, outside, button, here, wait.
Kasey’s method was to explain a new command, demonstrate it with Daisy, then teach me to perform the task with Daisy. Lots of treats were used! Before the next lesson, Daisy and I practiced the new commands extensively, at least three times a week along with previous commands.
To give you a few examples of Kasey’s teaching, we spent an hour or so getting on and off the glass elevator at Cabela Sports. Daisy learned elevator etiquette and got over fear of acceleration and abrupt stops.
The techniques I learned from Kasey allowed me to build on many commands during our practice between lessons. To name a few, elevator techniques were used to teach escalators. “Outside” was extended to ”Back” and “Find the trail” while hiking. For fun, during one lesson, Kasey taught Daisy to push a “door open” assistance button. This took less than half an hour to my amazement. A year later Daisy still remembers this “button” command.
Kasey organized a number of field trips with her other dogs in training: Mystic Acquarium and a Scavenger Hunt to name two.
Kasey wrote an “Attestation Letter” about Daisy’s training which was instrumental in getting service dog approval for Aer Lingus and later for EuroStar (train to UK).
I highly recommend Kasey Nash to anyone considering Service Dog training.“

“The best sitter I’ve ever had! I highly recommend her! I wouldn’t use anyone else!“

“I love taking my dog to Wagging tails. He has so much fun, he comes home so exhausted. I wish he could talk and tell me all about his experiences and how happy he is. Krista and her new staff are wonderful. Very friendly, helpful and approachable. Thank you, Krista and Mark for having this facility for me to be able to bring my dog so he’s not stuck in a crate all day long!! ?“
