I can't say enough about how much I appreciate everyone at Sunwater Pet Resort in Rochester NH. My dog comes home from daycare and likes to take a nap because... read more she's been worn out! I also love that they post lots and lots of pictures so I can look at all the fun my dog is having. It's so nice knowing that the entire staff is looking out for all the animals. It's also very obvious that the staff all love animals as you'd need to, to work at a place like this. I've used Sunwater as a border as well and won't go anywhere else. It makes me feel so much better when I'm on vacation knowing that my dog isn't stressing but it's being pampered on her own vacation. I couldn't recommend Sunwater Pet Resort enough!!

August 19, 2023I cannot say enough about Sunwater! Our girl is on the shy side and each time we leave her at sunwater we see her confidence grow. She now... read more greets other dogs and is learning to play! It’s such a comfort to know our princess is well looked after in a healthy environment with staff who truly love her as much as I do.

December 31, 2024I feel so comfortable leaving my nervous dog in Sunwater's care. Everyone I have met knows our Freddie Sue by name, and are excited to see her. We use Sunwater... read more for boarding whenever we go on a trip, and Freddie gets to socialize with the other dogs at daycare while she's there. She is a nervous dog who may not eat or go to the bathroom regularly while she's away from us, and Sunwater is very helpful and communicative about how she's doing while we're gone. It is a huge relief to leave her in such caring and capable hands!

January 2, 2025We picked up our dog this morning after boarding her with Sunwater Pet Resort & Spa for our 10 day trip. In the past we’ve had a hard time finding... read more someone qualified and willing to watch her due to her extreme separation anxiety. We found Sunwater Pet Resort through a local google search and decided to give them a try based on their great reviews. We could not be happier with the level of care they provided while we were away! Their staff is friendly and knowledgeable and it’s obvious that they are passionate about caring for dogs. They were so patient with her and really helped us feel comfortable leaving her there while we were away. They were communicative with updates on her progress without making us worry about what was happening while we were gone. On top of that, they have great rates and are very affordable. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for daycare, boarding, or grooming services.

We never... read more worry about leaving for a day or two, or for weeklong vacations as we know he’ll get the best care. The entire staff is warm and welcoming!!

February 7, 2025We had a great experience boarding our 4 month old puppy! The staff was excellent and you can tell they love their jobs! They were very responsive and gave us... read more updates on how she was doing. We were nervous at first boarding her because she can be very shy. But the staff there are extremely talented in what they do and were able to get her to come out of that little shell of hers. During her time there, we opted in half day of daycare and were so glad to have that option! It was so great to see the pictures of her playing around with other dogs and get her energy out. Thank you to ALL the staff at Sunwater for making Indy’s stay such a pleasant one. We will definitely be back.

September 22, 2023Our dog goes to SUNWATER a couple times a year and we absolutely love them!!!! When we drop him off, he goes right in and has no problems with separating.... read more The staff always remember him and seem genuinely happy and excited to see him! The staff is amazing!!! They are so friendly and helpful. When I send emails, they respond very quickly. I know my dog receives excellent care during his stays at SUNWATER!!! He is always glad to see us when we return, but it is such a great feeling to know that when we are out of town, our fur baby is being cared for by such a wonderful pet resort!!! We would never think of going anywhere else!!!

March 11, 2025Our pups love their daycare days at Sunwater! I was able to take a fully guided tour of the facility before booking and was very impressed with the cleanliness... read more and layout. The staff is friendly and professional, you can tell that they enjoy dogs just as much as us pet parents. The half day evaluation was worth the time and money to make sure it was a good fit for all parties involved. The check in/out process is easy, and the online parent pet portal is very user friendly. Looking forward to utilizing the boarding option soon because I know our dogs will be well taken care of. The covered outdoor space is great for inclement weather days. The social media posts of the dogs living their best lives at daycare is also a plus. So glad we found you!

This is the best place to keep your dog hands down my opinion. The owner and the staff are amazing. They send you pictures of your dog letting you know... read more how everything's going. They go the extra mile. Highly recommend them for peace of mind and your fur baby will love it too

January 2, 2025What an amazing experience! We needed last minute overnight accommodations for our Newfoundland and they went above and beyond to help us. It was so easy to get ahold of... read more them and they were incredibly kind and accommodating. We received plenty of information about the stay and they were even in touch through text which was very convenient. The property is beautiful and so clean and the exit bath for our big fluffy guy was a nice touch and very affordable. The gentleman who bathed him and the entire staff were so friendly and genuinely seemed to love what they were doing. Thank you all for an A+ experience!!

Our dog Beau is almost 9 years old and is usually spoiled that my parents will watch him when we go away. When they can’t, there is no where else... read more I trust but Sunwater! I recently tried another boarding place as a backup when Sunwater is fully booked, and it was awful in comparison. When my husband dropped him off most recently, he ran right up and away with Jeff without even looking back at us, lol! We were delayed traveling and they worked with us to make sure he could stay the extra unexpected night. When we pick him up the feedback they give us on him shows they have spent time and really know our dog in a way other places I’ve worked with just do not. They recognize playing with other dogs isn’t necessarily what brings him joy and rather spend time giving him pats and playing ball. Here is the adorable pic they sent on Christmas. An easy 5 stars!!!!!

They took the time to work with us (we have a crazy schedule) to meet with one of our pups to get... read more her more comfortable before she stayed overnight since she can be a little nippy when feeling overwhelmed or anxious. They were very knowledgeable and knew right away how to deal with her. She warmed up to the staff right away! The overnight stay went extremely well and both our pups had a great time. We feel very comfortable leaving them again for a much longer stay during our upcoming vacation. I would highly recommend using them for your 4 legged family members!
