Dog Paws is hands down the best boarding experience we’ve ever had! From the moment I dropped off our pup, Kelley made me feel completely at ease. The facility is immaculately clean and thoughtfully designed—every space is clearly set up with dogs’ comfort and safety in mind.

Kelley kept in touch the whole time with updates and photos, which I really appreciated. Her communication is fantastic, and it’s obvious she gives each dog tons of individual attention.

If you’re looking for a clean, loving, and professional place to board your dog, Dog Paws is the gold standard.

Wow…what a caring and highly compassionate caregiver Kelley is. This lady knows dogs and their behaviors. She is also a good communicator to humans; we received multiple updates, photos and videos. Kelley truly wants the best for each dog and treats them as her own. The Crib is kept immaculately. There is plenty of room in each kennel and the outdoor spaces are big for lots of play and zoomies. The outdoor space is also kept extremely clean. Our dogs came home exactly the way they went in, happy and healthy. They were exhausted. When we arrived for pick up, they were outside. We were able to sneak a peek at them. We could see there was no anxiety, just happily sitting soaking up the fresh air. I highly recommend Dog Paws and Kelley to anyone that wants a personalized experience for their fur kids.

We are so happy we found Kelley and Dog Paws! This was the first boarding experience for our 3-year-old pup Maggie. She has anxiety issues, so we were unsure of how she would handle being away from her home and her family. As it turned out, we had nothing to worry about. Many boarding facilities in the area are so large it's impossible to provide personal attention to every dog in their care. Dog Paws is small, which makes it possible for each dog to receive plenty of love and attention, and allows Kelley to get to know each dog and their individual needs. She helped Maggie through her anxiety, and made her feel safe and comfortable. She sent pictures and updates several times each day, pictures of Maggie sunbathing in the yard resting on her raised bed with her toys, and receiving lots of pets and playtime. Kelley's knowledge and experience is second to none, and our experience was great. We already have reservations for 2 more stays at Dog Paws.

Our pup had a wonderful time with Kelley at Dog Paws! This was our first boarding experience with our 6.5 month old puppy and we will definitely use Dog Paws for all future boarding needs. The kennel is extremely clean, the play area is good sized, and Kelley kept me updated with photos every day.

We have an energetic rescue pup and Kelley and her team have been wonderful to work with and patient with our pup. We’ve used other local boarding facilities and Kelley and her facility definitely stand above the rest! We greatly appreciate the pictures, check ins with anything of concern, and suggestions for things that could make our pup’s stay more comfortable, etc. We really feel our pup is in the best hands when she stays at Dog Paws.

This year, my high maintenance girl spent a week at Dog Paws Camp! Kelly is truly amazing and knows her dogs!! Miss Tippy is a handful, but Kelly took it in stride and did great with her. Her communication, flexibility and quick response to issues made this a perfect experience for my dog and me!! Tippy had so much fun and you can rest easy that your baby is well cared for!!

This is an amazing boarding facility!! After the Derecho, we needed to find a safe place for our 125 lb. Mastiff, Bubba. I reached out on Facebook and Kelley reached out immediately and took Bubba in without hesitation. She kept him safe for over a week and treated him as if he was her own. She sent daily updates and pictures of Bubba. Your 4 legged baby will receive excellent care and love!! Dog Paws will definitely be Bubba's new home away from home from now on!! Thank you so much, Kelley!!

Milo and Wylie were extremely well taken care of while I was away for a week long trip! Kelley sent daily pictures and updates, which helped ease my mind so that I was able to enjoy my trip without worrying about my boys! I would definitely recommend for anyone-especially those with pups who need a little extra time to warm up!

When your pet is your everything, finding a clean and caring facility is the ONLY option. Kelley was responsive to all my questions and happily agreed to pre-boarding tour. Dog Paws Boarding Resort was immaculate, I could not smell anything but a clean environment. Kelley communicated often and made me comfortable that my pup was both safe and happy. Priceless. I would not hesitate to recommend Kelley and her facility. Absolutely top notch
