OUR DOGMA
We designed Lucky Dog as a RESORT, not a kennel.

Wow! The wedding valet services that Laurie offers are beyond stellar. As a wedding planner and a dog mom, I can honestly say Lucky Dog does not only care for your pet like their own but does a wonderful job on the day of the wedding. I highly highly recommend this service to any and every bride who wants their fur-baby to be part of the wedding day!

Highly recommend Lucky Dog Resort Inc.!!! Laurie, her family, and Lucky Dog Resort Inc. are awesome!!! We were planning our April vacation and did not know who was going to watch our 7 month old chocolate lab (Mullie). We were using a local day doggie day care, but we were NOT happy! So, we contacted the Potter League and they recommended Lucky Dog Resort Inc. We were so comfortable when we met Laurie and even better, so was Mullie. While on vacation, we always looked forward to checking our phones to see the text messages and pictures Laurie sent everyday while we were away. Our experience was so great, that Mullie now goes four days a week to Lucky Dog Resort Inc. for doggie day care. We could not be happier knowing that she receives lots of love and attention and is in good hands!!!!

My dog is anxious at regular kennels, won't eat or drink & is seriously exhausted. At LD she had a blast and was not upset ever. She ate, drank, played with the other dogs and lounged a lot. It was worth driving from West Hartford Connecticut to Newport just so she could stay there. The owner is a gem.

Love, love, love it here! We boarded our two dogs here for the weekend. Laurie has created a beautiful, loving, safe environment. Our smaller dog (15 lbs.) can sometimes get intimidated in new circumstances and she was perfectly fine, very happy. The dogs came home tuckered out from playing, but very relaxed and peaceful. I highly recommend Lucky Dog Resort -- Laurie has put a huge amount of thought and care into creating a haven for her furry guests!

Lucky Dog is an excellent home away from home for your best friend! There could not be a more caring, attentive owner than Laurie. If you want your pet to be happy, maybe a little spoiled, when you can't be there... Lucky Dog is the place for them.

Our precious Pom Gigi stayed with Laurie and had the best experience at Lucky Dog Resort. Gigi means the world to us and we were so impressed with Laurie's care, attentiveness and genuine personality. She kept us up to date on a daily basis and allowed us to have a worry free vacation. We highly recommend Laurie!

If you love your dog the way we do, and you have to board, you cannot do better than Lucky Dog! Laurie cares for them like they are hers. We could check on her by text or call and get an immediate response and aside from that, unsolicited updates as well with pictures or video.This place truly deserves the highest recommendation.

We have had Georgia for 4 months and she has not had much interaction with other dogs since we got her from the Potter League. Laurie took her into her day camp and treated her like royalty. She made sure we knew that Georgia was doing well. We love Lucky Dog Resort and strongly encourage anyone to take advantage of the services they provide! Thank you Lucky Dog for taking care of these lucky owners' Georgia.

Best experience we've had yet w/boarding our pup. Our dog could not have been happier playing with the other dogs and running around outside. Laurie was so great about sending us updates and pics! She took really good care of our puppy and made it possible for us to enjoy our weekend in Newport, worry-free!

You must board your beloved dog with Laurie at Lucky Dog Resort. This is like no other boarding experience your dog has ever had. The facility is wonderfully equipped for energetic playtime, relaxing outdoor/indoor time and constant loving attention with all the familiarity of home. Where else can your dog cuddle, socialize, receive continuous care and affection other than in your own home?? Lucky Dog Resort!! Laurie's innate warmth and devotion to dogs is evident upon first meeting as well as her talent for maintaining complete control and boundaries. Love, care and happiness. I am beyond grateful to my friend for recommending Laurie and to Laurie for exceeding all expectations. I swear my dog subliminally sends me messages to take him back!!

Lucky Dog Resort was our savior! We were in town for the weekend and wanted to spend the day at the beach but had nowhere to take our pup. We found Lucky Dog Resort last minute and Laurie made us feel very comfortable and even excited about taking him there. Our pup Luis had such a great day and had a chance to run around outside, play with other dogs, and explore the house. He definitely did not want to leave when it was time to pick him up. We highly recommend Lucky Dog Resort!

Excellent! Felt very safe leaving my furry friend at The Lucky Dog Resort! Pax was able to sleep on furniture and run freely outside, not to mention all the love and cuddling he received! I received pictures and updates daily. I would highly recommend!

Laurie and LDR helped us out enormously when we needed a crate free place to board our dog near Newport. Communication was excellent from start to finish and Laurie always kept us updated on how/what our dog was doing as well as lots of photos and videos. It went such a long way in helping us enjoy our weekend, and we felt so comfortable with our dog being in her care. Our dog was very happy, tired and clean when we picked him up, he had a great time running and playing with the other dogs there. I would highly highly recommend Lucky Dog Resort!

TRULY AWESOME!! I WANTED TO STAY! FORGET THE DOG! Laurie is my angel! Had an emergency situation and took my boy last minute without hesitation. Her love, kindness and intellect radiates from every pore of her being. She is a rare find and a rare human being. A better place does NOT exist!
