We love Happy Paws! The staff always treats the dogs as their own. I love that we can watch our dog on the camera too. They are flexible with drop offs and our dog always comes home happily exhausted!

It's been a while since they boarded my dog, but they were very professional and my dog enjoyed her time with them.

★★★★★ Wendy · a year ago

My dog loves going to Happy Paws! She doesn't always love a big group setting and they do a great job of helping her find a space to hang out where she feels comfortable. Sometimes it's a struggle to get her to the car at the end of the day, she doesn't want to leave!
