Doggie Castle The Doggie Castle, set up in 2004, is run and run by Maria. I was inspired to open such an exceptional pet facility with such a different concept by my love for animals, by my own dogs and the confidence and encouragement of my close family and friends. We supply your dog with a safe, indoor environment. Our cheerful visitors have over 3000 square feet to enjoy supervised play.

I literally went back in to get my pup 10 minutes after drop off because I felt so uncomfortable leaving him there. Woman was extremely rude and would not take the time to explain the process to me or make ANY attempt to ensure my comfort about leaving my dog with them. Will absolutely not be returning and will inform other groomers in the area of my experience. I recommend a pass here.

Doggie castle was our first chance of socializing our 6 month old puppy clover and it was a great experience last spring as there were no dog parks open due to covid. Clover came home so tired everyday and was treated great by her staff and fellow pups. Knowing she hadn't been socialized, Maria even got us an early drop off the first day so she wouldn't be overwhelmed when she came in.

Unfortunately with my work schedule being all over the place it's been hard to commit to scheduling her at doggie castle currently but I would highly recommend them to anyone who can commit to a couple days a week of daycare for their dog.

Best groomer in town! Maria is one of the friendliest people I've ever met - a great alternative to the big box stores!

My dog loves coming to the Doggie Castle. He is very TIRED at the end of the day. He gets excited as we are driving into the Doggie Castle. The owner is excellent. She is very friendly and takes very good care of all of the dogs. Pick up and drop off are very quick and easy and you can drop off as early as 7am. The place is very clean. Doggie Castle is worth every penny! If you want your dog to have fun and be tired at the end of the day this is the place to go!

Unbelievable experience at The Doggie Castle! I needed to watch my grand puppy for a week while my daughter took a well deserved vacation, but we just had new floors installed and got new furniture! Yikes! The answer? Doggie daycare.but not just any daycare would do for my grand puppy! The Doggie Castle exceeded all of my expectations - I thought he would just be supervised, but no, he was LOVED - and I was educated about anxious dogs- my daughter works from home so she is able to cater to his every whim.

When he first got there he wouldn't go in, but Maria was firm (with both of us) and saId he'd be fine. Well, it turns out he wasn't just fine - he's a social butterfly and absolutely loved his week there- he made so many new friends! It was a big adjustment for us having a puppy we didn't know for a week, but Maria took it all in stride- she made sure he had all of his vaccinations to protect him and the other dogs so she's completely business minded, but also completely loves the dogs in her care. It's a clean, welcoming place and I swear you can see the dogs smiling!

He couldn't wait to jump into the car to go to school! Oops- I almost forgot about the grooming they offer- how convenient is that? My grandpuppy looked so beautiful that when I sent his picture to my daughter she couldn't believe it! Thank you Doggie Castle- Clifford has come home to us as a happy, tired pup who wants to snuggle and not eat my new furniture!

My dog has been going to The Doggie Castle in Cromwell four or five days per week for several years. He started going there when he was about 6 months old and he absolutely LOVES it. He gets excited just driving there every day. On days when he doesn't go to daycare, he actually misses playing with his friends. He is well-socialized with other dogs and very well cared for.

As a pet owner who works, I really appreciate that he isn't home alone, he's safe, and gets so much exercise. The large indoor/outdoor facility is very clean. It also gives me peace of mind knowing all the dogs are up to date on shots, etc. and only good temperament dogs are accepted. My dog went to other daycares. but he was nervous and isolated at those other facilities.

My dog even gets groomed at The Doggie Castle, which is very easy and so convenient. I never worry about him for a single minute while he's at daycare and would be lost without Maria (the owner) and The Doggie Castle! Your dog will thank you for bringing him or her here and you will have a happy dog.

I have been bringing my two dogs here for grooming for well over two years. I am so thankful I found this place. Nothing but the best every time! So professional and compassionate!

If your looking for a place for the best care for your dog. This would be the place. Your dog will enjoy a day of play time, nap time and socializing with other dogs. The grooming facility is top notch. They are clean and neat. I have 3 dogs and all of them get groomed there. I have my female wheaten terrier whom we've had since she was 9 weeks old.

She is now almost 11yrs old and she attended daycare in this facility for the first 3yrs of her life. I owe it to this place that my Molly is a well rounded socialized kind hearted dog.

They were okay. My dog was apparently shivering to the workers there. I also thought one of the workers were mean. I saw the difference when I took him to another doggy day care, and he blended better with the dogs. The dog grooming here seems too expensive and they do less of a quality job.

I went in looking for more information about their doggie daycare. Between the awful smell and the rude staff, I turned around and left.

My dog has been going to "school" at Doggie Castle for the past year and he LOVES it.he gets so excited when we pull into the parking lot. Maria is wonderful, she knows so much about dogs and is loving to each dog left in her care.the cost is more than reasonable particularly when you truly understand what you are getting for your money.the dogs are very happy, well cared for and much healthier - they get exercise, social skills, nap time and lots of love and attention! My dog went to different day care first and was miserable.but now he is the happiest dog in the neighborhood!
