My dogs had the time of their life there and they were so sweet to them treated them like they were their own doggies. This will be a lifelong experience for them every week !!

I highly recommend Paws at Play! The staff goes above and beyond with your dog. My dog absolutely loves going there and it is so obvious from the time we pull into the parking lot. They are very thorough in their report cards and offer many different interactive options for your dog to participate in. I can’t say enough good things about them!

We LOVE Paws at Play! My Boston Terrier, George gets so excited when he sees that I am pulling up to Doggie Daycare. The staff is SO friendly and accommodating. They make drop off and pick up SO easy. We started going once a week and it quickly turned into 4 times a week :). George LOVES playing with friends and I love receiving pictures from his day. Not to mention, he is WORN out when he gets home. It's a WIN-WIN for all :).
