My Weimaraner, Blaze goes to doggy daycare here three times a week. Matt and all of his staff take great care of him and he loves playing with all of his four legged friends. Very nice personal rooms if you need to board overnight and there is someone there 24/7 to watch over your babies. Only place in the world I would trust with watching my Blazer.

Our usual spot for boarding was unavailable. I visited Gause Paws prior too booking, I met Matt, very kind, he gave me tour and answered every single question asked. While on vacation, I received text messages filled with pictures and videos of my pup and updates on his day. Loveeeeeed it. That put my mind at ease, let me know he was in good hands. I absolutely, recommend Gause Paws for boarding and they even have daycare services as well.

Review from Google · view on GoogleThis Pet Resort is the absolute BEST!!! Matt is super friendly and very accommodating. His prices are very, very resonable. It's a new facility so everything is super clean and nothing smells of dog/cat. It's the first time we didn't have to bathe them when we got home. You will not regret leaving your kids here. Definitely will use again if we are in Slidell. Thank you Gause Paws 🐾

Brittney Stewart1 reviewTotal number of Google reviews Brittney has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
Review from Google · view on GoogleI want to go on record to say that Matt and Ms. Barbara are THE BEST! They are both incredibly patient, and my little munchkin always enjoys himself. When he comes home, he goes straight to sleep as if he's worked a 12-hour shift, which is quite amusing. He interacts so well with other dogs and has made lots of friends. Matt, in particular, is an exceptional communicator, and I can rest easy knowing that my munchkin is well taken care of. I highly recommend Gause Paws to anyone looking for boarding or dogcare.
