Your pup will enjoy indoor/outdoor playtime, socialization, evening farm fun, off property walks, separated feeding and individualized custom care tailored to each dogs needs. At Happy Paws, every pup is treated like family and cared for with love, attention, and personalized care throughout their stay!

We’ll handle the rest!

Most Likely! We strive to encourage playtime with the other boarders but will rotate dogs if necessary depending on their needs to allow for the most peaceful stay. We carefully match dogs based on temperament, size, and comfort level to create a safe and fun environment. Safety always comes first.

No problem! We can accommodate many feeding schedules, medications, and special routines. Let us know your dog’s needs before booking so we can make sure it’s a great fit.

For the safety of all pets, we cannot accept dogs with aggressive behavior toward people or other animals.

Yes! I will provide photo updates every couple days if not most days of your trip to bring a smile to your face!

I am happy to come meet you and your dog but it is not required.

We do not require vaccines at this time as we feel each family has the right to make the best medical decision fit for their own dog. Bordetella Vaccine is recommended at boarding facilities to prevent kennel cough. We would recommend a flea and tick preventative as we are located on a farm but not mandatory. We are not liable for any illness, flea or tick that may come home but we strive to stay free of these inconveniences!
