About Dog Rock Resorts

Dog Rock Resorts is a purpose-built facility on Congers Road in New City that describes itself as a full-service dog daycare, boarding and training center – one of only a handful of places in Rockland where training sits alongside a building you can drive to.

What is on offer

The three published services are dog daycare, dog boarding and dog training, with the training listed in the site's own service menu rather than only in a chain-style navigation bar. Ask what format the training takes, and about the schedule, when you call.

The building and the staffing

The facility is custom-built and staffed 24 hours a day, and reservations are taken by phone. New clients go through what the business calls a fun interview process – a form first, then a scheduled meeting – before a dog is accepted, which is a normal safety screen for a mixed-population daycare floor.

Who runs it

Dog Rock is family-owned and states plainly that it is not a franchise. Its own story page traces the business to the owner's bull terrier, Gilbert, and to the problem of finding care for a dog that is a handful for anyone who is not a dog person – which is a useful signal if your own dog is the kind other facilities turn away.

Practicalities

The address is 36A Congers Road, New City, NY 10956, and the phone number spells ROCK. There is a photo gallery on the site and active Facebook and Instagram accounts.
