Our dog Parker absolutely loves going to Gagnon's Pet Resort. I've used their dog training classes, day care, and grooming services. The staff is professional and very caring. I know Parker loves going there as he greets them all like his best friends. And most of all, I feel very comfortable with their care and supervision of his play dates. I absolutely recommend taking your pet to Gagnon's for all of their services.

I love John Gagnon's pet resort. We had used them in the past for boarding but when we got our new pup I took her to obedience training, which was wonderful. They gave us a "free daycare" pass so I decided to try daycare for our girl. She came home exhausted but so happy. She has been going once a week for almost 3 years now. We have also used them for boarding. I would highly recommend John Gagnon's for all your pets needs.

The staff and facilities at John Gagnon's Pet Resort are wonderful. Our pup Bennie knows the driving route and once we turn onto Upton Road he starts whining and wagging his tail. I am amazed that with all the dogs that attend daycare the staff greets him by name when we drop off! He loves it here and is asleep within 10 minutes of coming home from playing all day. We have also used their grooming and training services which are excellent.

Our pup Bentley gets very excited when we tell him that it's "daycare day". The socializing aspect of daycare is just one of its many great perks! Bentley is always fast asleep, within a mile, after we pick him from the resort. The staff is always professional and personable. We have utilized daycare, grooming, training and invisible fence instillation and we give 5 solid stars for each facet! Who doesn't love to see their pup posted on social media having a great day?
