Little Wolfe’s Pet Resort

Little Wolfe’s Pet Resort has been caring for Winter Haven area pets for decades, growing from a grooming shop into a full pet resort that also offers boarding and daycare for cats, dogs, and small animals. The business operates out of a dedicated facility on 6th Street NW just northwest of downtown, and its longevity in a category that has seen a lot of national chain expansion in recent years says a lot about the loyalty it has built with local pet owners.

Grooming remains the core of the business, and the shop describes its services as all breed grooming, meaning the staff is equipped to handle everything from small breed dogs that need a quick trim to larger, double coated breeds that require more time and a different approach. For Winter Haven pet owners, having a groomer who can competently handle a wide range of breeds and coat types in one shop, without needing to shop around, is a real convenience.

Beyond grooming, the resort side of the business covers boarding and daycare, giving local pet owners an alternative to leaving an animal with a neighbor or a big box pet store chain when they travel or work long hours. Running both grooming and boarding under one roof also means a pet already comfortable with the facility and staff from regular grooming visits is not being dropped somewhere new and unfamiliar for an overnight stay, which can meaningfully reduce stress for more anxious animals.

The shop keeps an unusually detailed schedule for pickups and drop offs, open Monday through Friday from seven thirty in the morning to five thirty in the evening, Saturday from eight until two, and a short Sunday window from four until five, which appears designed around boarding pickup and drop off rather than standard grooming appointment hours. Customers should call ahead to confirm exact grooming appointment availability separate from boarding hours.

Little Wolfe’s also maintains an active Facebook page and Instagram account, giving prospective customers a look at the facility and past grooming work before booking. As one of the relatively few independently owned pet care businesses in Winter Haven still offering both grooming and boarding rather than specializing narrowly in one or the other, Little Wolfe’s Pet Resort fills a role that larger, single service competitors generally do not. For pet owners in Winter Haven who would rather build a long term relationship with one trusted local business for both grooming and boarding needs, it remains one of the most established options in the city.
