The Dog Cabin

I was told my dog's "trial day" would consist of gradually introducing him to some calm dogs not in the main pens, but when I checked on the camera only 20 minutes after dropping off, he'd been put in with SO MANY other dogs. He was clearly terrified, tail between his legs, running away from other dogs, etc. I saw on the camera the attendants ignoring it.

Even when he started to be chased by one very persistent dog. The cameras are bad quality but I could easily tell what was going on. I was also told if the trial day wasn't going well, I would be contacted so I could pick him up, but I never was. I had to call myself to check in and they said he was too scared to eat lunch but "doing fine" which doesn't make sense.

I'm a new dog owner so I trusted them, but I know better now. Another huge issue is that they didn't check ID when I had a friend pick up for me. There's a spot for this specifically on the enrollment form, but they just brought out my dog without even asking who my friend was. So anyone can come off the street and take your dog.

All my dogs love it here! The staff is so attentive and even notice when one of my dogs gets a new collar. I love the camera so I can check on my dogs throughout the day. Such a great experience to bring them every week

They are wonderful with their animals my best friend Carrie works there she used to own her own dog care facility but covid she went through hardship so now she's at the dog cabin they are wonderful with the animals very clean your animals are in a good place if they're there

We started bringing our 8 month old puppy to the Dog Cabin when we were getting renovations done in our condo. I filled out the application and set up a date to bring her in for her pre-screening. She did great and was told she's welcomed back anytime! You have the option of downloading the ODoggy app to view the dogs. I'm happy to see her socialize with the other dogs and the employees are very kind and attentive. Yuna always has a great time and comes home so tired from a busy play day!

My 13 year old Morkie is a nervous wreck when it comes to the groomers, but since switching to the Dog Cabin, she has been far less anxious and comes out looking and smelling great! The staff is super friendly and their services won't break the bank! 100% recommend the Dog Cabin!

My dog stayed two times here. 1st time came home with extreme diarrhea - vet told me it was probably because she ate different food (I gave the staff plenty of her own food for a 1 night visit). I also find it extremely odd they close 12pm on sunday. Who is at the facility? are you telling me my dog sits in a cage for 17hours until I arrive at 7am monday morning? - that is disgusting behavior of a place that considers it a place that cares about dogs. Will be finding someone else.

Thank you, Dog Cabin. Every animal should have the pleasure of being treated so well and kept so safe. Your team has always been incredibly professional but also genuinely loving to our dog. Big big gratitude to you.

Our little girl LOVES spending her days at the Dog Cabin- and we enjoy a very tired pup when she comes home after. The staff is so friendly and professional. Highly recommend.

Fabulous place! We had our Golden retriever there for a week while visiting the area. Cannot say enough about the whole experience. From start to finish. Very professional, clean with all happy, friendly staff. Hope to do it all again next year and would highly recommend The Dog Cabins!

My dog looks and smells fantastic. They got her mats out and brushed her out. You can tell she feels so much better. The groomer and desk staff were so friendly and welcoming. The rates were extremely reasonable! Will definitely recommend and definitely be back.

Everyone is so friendly. Its clean with a great atmosphere & are always accommodating. The Dog Cabin employees always take the time to get to know each dog so they can provide for them in the best way. They also focus on the saftey & well-being of all their dogs. My pup always comes home happy & can't wait to go back. The Dog Cabin adds their personal touch that makes you & your pup feel like your part of the Dog Cabin family. Thank you Dog Cabin!

Thanks for taking care of our Bailey! We will definitely be visiting again. We went in for grooming and Bailey came out looking like a brand new pup.

I was very nervous to bring my boy for his first grooming here as I always am, naturally. I just always hate dropping him off for hours to be groomed while I have no idea what he's experiencing "behind the scenes". I can now say I will never bring my little boy anywhere else! I am in love with this place. They took the best care of my baby and he looked incredible.

The groomer, Kelsey was super sweet and listened to our very specific grooming requests! He left happy, handsom, and with the cutest bow tie for Valentine's Day! I called weeks in advance for the appointment so he had the first one of the day and we told our groomer we wanted him back asap. We received a phone call for pickup 2 hours later! It's never less than 3-4 hours standard at all other groomers I've been to, so I truly could not be happier with the experience and cannot say enough good things about this business. I think my favorite part was the personal card Kelsey wrote about our babies experience and what was done during his appointment. Did I mention I LOVE this place!

Not only does my puppy Baxter love day care at the dog cabin, the groomer was able to cut his nails (plus dew claws) with out a muzzle, and all at once instead of one paw a day like we have been doing at other places! I could say anything but amazing things about the dog cabin!

I've only gone twice, but both times, my dog was groomed wonderfully! It's local so that's a big plus!

Great with dogs. Esp my Aussies who are ACTIVE with very different personalities. I was nervous at first but they have been so good with them. Plus I board them there as well. Do like that the boarding also includes daycare so when you are gone they play for 12 hrs and not stuck in kennel or have to pay for playtime. them. So do my dogs

Plenty of space and supervision for my pup to tire her out! Everyone there is super nice, too! I recommend to anyone needing a place for their pup to socialize and burn off some energy.

We've been sending our 14 year old dog to The Dog Cabin once a week for doggie daycare for the past ten years. Every Wednesday, she's pacing the hall waiting for her special day. We also board her a couple of times a year - anywhere from a weekend stay to a week. It's great to have a place to bring her and I don't feel badly about leaving her behind when we go away. We've since added a second dog to our family, and she loves to go as much as our older dog.

I began bringing my, now, one year old puppy to The Dog Cabin early this year. I, and she, absolutely love it. Everyone is very friendly and, helpful with all my crazy questions. Every morning, my dog sits by the door, waiting for me to get ready, in anticipation of another exciting day at puppy daycare. I also love how convenient they are, their hours are awesome and I love that my dogs nails can be done while she's there. If I ever have to board my dog I will most certainly use The Dog Cabin!

Great place with daycare, boarding and grooming available! The daycare has really good hours, lots of different play areas where dogs can be separated by size or play style. They even have an indoor area adjacent to the outdoor area where the dogs can come in if it's hot, cold or rainy. Boarded dogs get daycare for free and their rates are very reasonable.

I take my three dogs here all the time, daycare and boarding and they absolutely love it. My Bernese is terrified of everyone and everything besides my husband and I but walks right up to the staff here. They are always so polite and friendly. I recommend this place to everyone!

I am a dog Mommy and this is what I will lead with as a disclaimer into this review for the searching of a caregiver for your little one/ones. I have taken a couple trips out of the state and trusted my little ones with the dog cabin AND have not been disappointed/worried/upset once. When I drop them off the receptionist has been so happy/excited to see them as well as when I pick them up. the groomer says they are one of the best, which, I mean, every puppy is the best!, I love just hearing it from someone that says hi to my little ones.

They have a camera where u can subscribe for a little itty small fee to see the dog during the day play with all the other puppies. I really can't say a bad thing about this place and highly recommend it. **day after picture

We moved to West Hartford a year ago, we found this place to take care of our dogs.we are always worried about them because of their age. When we travel they take good care of them. The ladies working @the dog cabin are amazing, This is the dogs third visit, we are happy and grateful.we have two senior dogs Mrs. Cindy 19 years old & Oreo 16 years old. They have a senior center were they are relaxing and having a good time. We are happy we found the best boarding for our babies!

The Dog Cabin rocks! We take our 9 month old rescue puppy here 2-3 times a week because we both work full time and sometimes long hours. Our dog loves being around people and other dogs and doggy daycare is the perfect way to make sure she's getting the care and stimulation she needs. The employees are very friendly and we love getting to watch the dogs on the web cameras. We know we are leaving our pup in good hands when we come to the Dog Cabin.

This is a new found gem for our family. We adopted a five month old mix breed dog a few months ago (August). In the beginning, he stayed home in the crate and we'd go to the public park after work. This is obviously the most cost effective option. But as the winter months start and day light dwindles, we have had more trouble getting him the exercise he needs.

We entered him in a doggie day care in Glastonbury where we live. It was fine and he enjoyed it but it was the bare necessities and nothing else. Since I work in Middletown, we explored the option of having him go a few days a week near my job. Enter The Dog Cabin. It's within a few blocks of the North End of Main St and takes maybe an additional 5 minutes before work.

As my dog has been to doggie day care before, I wasn't concerned about him doing well on the socialization day. I dropped him off and headed to work. I checked in on the web cams and saw that he was in a pen with smaller dogs. (He's 55 lbs at 8 months old).This was probably smart as there were about 20 large dogs in an adjacent fenced in play area.

This way the other dogs could meet mine through the fence. When I checked back later he was in the large dog pen and doing great. For small dog parents who worry about this, it seems like they put the larger dogs in there temporarily to interact with the others through the fence. I've also seen injured dogs or older dogs in there also. The large dogs are distracted by the other large dogs and don't bother the little ones.

I brought him back two days later and they recognized him! He wiggled his happy butt all the way into the play area. When I picked him up they raved about how much they love him and told me he was dog of the day on their Facebook page. The whole operation is clean and professional. They are clearly dog lovers! I appreciate the fast in and out in the morning and that he's not "just another dog".

First experience to leaving my pup when going on a vacation. Was amazing they have web cams to watch them when we were away super cute to see them play and no worries. My pup came home an has been so tired he most have enjoyed his stay. great service taking care of the dogs

My fiance and I just moved to the Hartford area. This doggy daycare is amazing. I don't think we are going to get to take Weller there because it's a little to far from work and home, but they took such good care of him while we were moving and didn't charge us for the 1st day we took him!

I have moved away from the CT area within the past two years, but wanted to provide this review as I still have not been able to find a place that compares to the Dog Cabin! We used Dog Cabin for four years for daycare and boarding. I loved that they had an "audition" to make sure that the dogs were well suited to the free range concept. I also loved that the staff seemed to genuinely like my over exuberant Brittany Spaniel. My dog (Barley) was always excited to head to the Dog Cabin. Thank you!

My dog, Marley, gets so excited to go to doggie day care that she almost wags her tail off when I tell her. Kevin and his staff are animal lovers through and through. They treat Marley like a family member! Don't hesitate to bring your pooch for the day, or half day (being a teacher, I love their half day prices!).
