Cassio Pet Resort & Training Center, one of the most sophisticated facilities of its kind in the Northeast, is a state-of-the-art environment boasting individual dog guest rooms as well as indoor and outside exercise areas. Our feline guest room is separate from the canine area with large windows that allow your feline to watch the outdoor activity.

Nestled in the woods of Newtown, Connecticut is this 100- x 70 foot, two-story lodge that has been designed for the security, comfort, health, safety and well-being of your pet. Each guest room was created with the comfort and well-being of your pet, no matter their size.

Two air-circulating and heating units contain a custom-designed filtration system allowing the air to be circulated up and out through ducts above each guest room. This filtration system rids the inside air of dust, odor, pollen, mole spores and viruses commonly found in many kennels. The temperature is kept at a comfortable 65-75 degrees and piped in music create a calm, soothing atmosphere.

To keep your pet healthy, our inside Boarding areas have specialized air circulation systems with advanced UV-C germicidal lights to control the spread of bacteria and viruses.

The Cassio guest quarters are staffed 24 hours a day by dedicated professionals who live on the premises. However, we do adhere to strict business hours.

We want our pet owners to enjoy a relaxing time away from home knowing their dog or cat will be will be well cared for regardless of the weather healthy and happy.

This is my third time using Casio for boarding. The people here are super friendly and welcoming. My dog has come home in perfect condition every time she has stayed here and I can't say that about every kennel she has stayed at. I would definately recommend Casio for your furry family member.

Our pup had a great stay at Cassio Kennels! He will definitely be back; and in fact we have already made a reservation for him during our summer vacation. Thank you to all the staff for taking such great care of Sam! 🐶

We love taking our girls to Cassio. We have been going there for years. We currently have a Morkie and Llasa-poo and both love it. It is a joy to see them running in when we drop them off.

Our new puppy was enrolled in the puppy and the obedience classes, and we both learned so much. She was also boarded at Cassio for the first time, the staff loved her, she was well taken care of.
