The Metro Pooch - Guilford, Connecticut

Very clean facility. Nice lobby/waiting area. The staff are very welcoming, friendly, and most of all very honest about your pet. My dog loves it and it’s obvious he receives great care here. Five stars!

Needed to board my dog here for a date 3 weeks in the future. Called them up, they explained the "meet n greet" and "overnight trial". No problem, told them the dates I needed him to be boarded. They explained I need to have a recent negative fecal test for the dog, so I went ahead and got one from the vet, paid for the test of course. I called back to provide the test results and then they tell me there were no dates available for the "overnight trial" between then and when I needed the dog to be boarded. I paid for the test for basically no reason. Better schedule management and due diligence from the reception would have avoided this.

Recently I lost my mother. My Mother lived 20 minutes away from me, and I had a new energetic untrained puppy at home - that could not join me at my Mothers home. At times, I had a challenging situation to say the least. *Furbabies are our children too.
.
WHICH IS WHY.... it gives me great happiness to share my STELLAR 🐾 EXPERIENCE with The Metro Pooch Guilford - A State of the Heart Canine Enrichment Center, owned & operated by Guilford resident, Kristen Delea-Sacco. I NEVER EVER would had been able to had spent the amount of time I did with my Mother, had it not been for Kristen/MetroPooch. Kristen, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your help with Pheobe.

Puppy-School, Daycare, Boarding ➡️ this state of the art K9 facility was designed ground up with SAFTY & SECURITY in mind, LOVE for fur-babies, catering to each and every need... studying K9 psychology, training behaviors... leading with pack•LOVE and a gentle•lead.
.
The high-end, super CLEAN luxury boarding suites sealed the deal for me to “try” boarding... dogs are not kept in a traditional metal crate, isolated... they are in a climate controlled room with plexiglass so they can see and hear what’s going on, listening to piped in music, dog-cams spying 😉, and let’s not forget they SOCIALIZE the majority of their stay in daycare 7-days a week, 24/7/365!!
.
ALL of the staff I have encountered represent high-energy dog loving staff, who KNOW + CARE FOR each of their K•9 guest. I am not kidding... from the moment you enter the building, it’s like entering a spa with a zen peaceful vibe. 🙏💞🐶💫🐾
.
And one more important reference... the COMMUNICATION I’ve received from MetroPooch has been outstanding... email updates, when my dog was sick and I needed to pick her up... when she apparently ate a sock(!!!) — they instantly communicated via call or text, and/or sent video too.
.
It all mattered soooooo much, gave me peace in my heart & mind to know my fur-baby was in top-quality loving hands... allowing me to focus where I needed to focus without worry or stress.🐶💛🐾

The team at MP takes great care of my pup. My dog always is happy upon arrival and departure weather she’s going in for a groom or being dropped off to play with the pack. I also appreciate that they send out communication to update their pack parents on current events that could affect availability.

Professional, attentive, competent, and warmhearted...only START to describe the staff and management of The Metro Pooch.

We recently boarded Lily, our 2 year old Shorkie for a two night stay. We met with the staff a day before dropping her off so that they could perform and monitor a temperament test, where she would be introduced to other similarly sized dogs for two hours. She played well with the pack and came home exhausted.

We dropped her off the next day and expected the feel sad about parting with our pup for the first time, but when we walked in the sounds and smells of the other dogs made her eager to get going. We never had to feel apart from our pooch as we were able to monitor her on the ODoggy app...GREAT touch. We paid for a full grooming during her stay and Lily came home looking fabulous. We highly recommend The Metro Pooch and are 100% sure that we would board her here again.

Metropooch has a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Our pup loves her time at Metropooch. Whether she is there for a day or an overnight, I feel comfortable she is being well cared for and having a blast! The services offer a wonderful value.

Great facility! Super Friendly staff, my golden retriever Sunny Loves going to their daycare. We highly recommended Metro Pooch!

We reluctantly boarded our puppy while traveling and were so happy with the whole experience. The staff at Metro Pooch helped ease Bagel (and us) in with several visits prior to our trip and gave her plenty of attention and love while we were gone - even texted pictures and videos on request! We love that Bagel got lots of social time with other dogs, too. Since our return, we've taken her back for some daycare and puppy playtime, and to our delight she was every bit as excited to be back there as the staff were to see her again!
