Dogtopia – Dog Daycare, Boarding, Spa & Wellness

Dogtopia of Shelton

At Dogtopia, we believe your pup deserves the absolute best in care, safety, and play. Whether you’re dropping off for a few hours of play, an overnight stay, or a relaxing spa treatment, Dogtopia is your dog’s home away from home. Our dog daycare provides a safe, supervised, and engaging environment where dogs can enjoy off-leash play in spacious playrooms designed for their comfort. Each playroom is separated by size and temperament, ensuring every pup is paired with the right friends for safe socialization. Our highly trained Canine Coaches are always on hand to encourage good behavior, monitor interactions, and provide lots of love and attention. Dogtopia isn’t just about play — it’s about wellness, too. A day at Dogtopia helps your dog stay active, burn off energy, and return home happy and relaxed. To support overall health, we offer the DASH Activity Collar — a daycare-approved smart collar. DASH tracks your dog’s activity levels, rest, and wellness, giving you valuable insights into their health and behavior both at Dogtopia and at home. It’s another way we make sure your pup is not only having fun, but thriving. Our boarding services give dogs a chance to enjoy all-day play and restful nights under the care of our trusted team. And if your dog needs a little pampering, our spa services include baths, brush-outs, nail trims, and more, so they’ll look and feel their best. As pet parents ourselves, we know safety and transparency matter. That’s why every Dogtopia location is equipped with webcams, allowing you to check in on your pup throughout the day. Our facilities are sanitized with pet-safe cleaning products, and our staff is trained in canine behavior, first aid, and safety protocols. At Dogtopia, we’re passionate about giving dogs the love, exercise, and socialization they need to thrive — while giving pet parents peace of mind. Discover why so many families trust us as their dog’s second home.

Maxim Home Inspections

Hi, I’m Justin Birtwell — owner and sole inspector at Maxim Home Inspections. I grew up in Derby helping my dad manage commercial properties, then worked as a civil engineer designing subdivisions and surveying properties. This experience gave me a deep understanding of structural loads, drainage, soil issues, and how homes really work — knowledge most inspectors lack. Later, I renovated and managed my own investment properties: ripping out rotted floors at 2 a.m., fixing foundations, finishing basements, and learning every costly shortcut firsthand. Those experiences now save my clients thousands. Credentials: CT-licensed, InterNACHI; CAHI certified, FAA drone pilot, FLIR thermographer, and one of the few CT inspectors certified to fully evaluate residential solar PV systems (performance, safety, value). You get drone roof inspections, infrared scans for hidden leaks, sewer scopes, and clear, detailed reports delivered in 24 hrs (often same day). Agents say my reports lead to faster, stronger negotiations. I answer my own phone, work evenings/weekends, and promise to find what others miss and explain it plainly. Let’s make your next home a great investment — not an expensive lesson. Ready to go full Maxim? – Justin Birtwell Maxim Home Inspections
