About Paws Pet Resort & Spa

Paws Pet Resort & Spa was opened in 2007 by Joe and Robin Whitright as a high-quality, trustworthy, and convenient home-away-from-home for dogs and cats across New Haven County. The Whitright family is deeply rooted in the community and attend as many local events as possible— if you’ve been to any Cheshire parades, you’ve probably seen the Paws Pet Resort float!
Joe and Robin are grateful for the opportunity to serve the pets and pet parents of their community while doing what they love: providing excellent pet care. Paws Pet Resort has been chosen for a number of awards, including:

  • Record-Journal Reader’s Choice Awards: Best Pet Boarding, Best Doggy Daycare and Best Family-Owned Business
  • Cheshire Citizen “Best Of” Awards: Best Groomer and Best Family-Owned Business

Our Mission

We’re pet lovers who believe every pet deserves the same comfort and love they receive at home when their mom and dad are away. We provide the best luxury pet care services in Cheshire, CT. and have even been featured on Better Connecticut’s Channel 3 news and Connecticut’s Channel 8 news.

At Paws Pet Resort, we have a variety of services and accommodations to fit the individual needs of your pets. From our spacious luxury suites to our Mini-Mansions, and even our multi-room suites, all are fit for a king or queen!

Your dog will jump for joy in our expansive canine gymnasium, or in one of the outdoor play yards during supervised playtime in group or on an individual basis. The entire facility is air conditioned and heated with relaxing music played throughout.

And let’s not forget about our feline friends! Cats enjoy spacious two-level condos in a separate cattery made especially for them. They can lounge on the sunny windowsill, play on a six-foot cat tree, or watch kitty videos made just for cats.

No matter whether your pet is visiting for overnight care, a fun day of play, or a pampering spa session, they’ll receive loving, individualized care every time!

Just a short note to thank you for taking such good care of Eve when she has stayed with you and come in for grooming. I was very impressed that Eve’s rugs and blankets were all washed when I came to pick her up. I know you all take great care of her, because she jumps out of the car and runs up to the doors as soon as I pull up.
