At Willow Creek, animals have always been at the heart of everything we do.

As lifelong animal lovers and the owners of Willow Creek Farm for over 25 years, Jill Sloane Bhatia and Raj Bhatia have built a home, a business, and a community centered around care, compassion, and connection—with both people and animals. Our farm is home to over 45 horses, goats, donkeys, barn cats, and house pets, and for the past 14 years, we've proudly hosted Companion Pet Rescue, giving countless dogs a second chance at life.

With a track record of successful ventures in both real estate and community development across New York and Connecticut, creating a doggy daycare and overnight boarding facility was a natural next step. When Haute Dog Hotel—Woodbury’s beloved dog boarding center—announced its closure, we knew what we had to do. Welcoming them to Willow Creek and expanding their services felt like the perfect continuation of our mission: to offer animals the same comfort, care, and quality of life we give our own.

The Haute Dog Hotel at Willow Creek is more than just a boarding facility—it’s an extension of our home and a reflection of our lifelong dedication to animals. Whether your dog is staying for the day or the week, they’ll be treated like family. Because here, they are.
