Booking for school breaks
If you travel over spring break or summer, send your dates early. Booking requests go through Book / My Account; vaccine records can be uploaded there. See spring break boarding and summer vacation boarding.
A calm drop-off
Leave your pet in the car at check-in. Staff carry belongings in and walk your pet to the building, which avoids a stressful scene in the lot and keeps hot pavement off paws in summer. On a warm afternoon, staff may pick up a small dog and hurry across. This is the same routine for every guest, from a Chihuahua to a Great Dane.

What pet owners say
Clean and well organized, with a friendly, helpful staff. Our two pitties love their periodic "vacation" stays at Happy Paws! We live an hour away, but it's well worth the drive. Highly recommended.
Just picked up my pup Loki from a 4 day stay, the staff was extremely kind and helpful. We cannot be more happy with the level of care and pictures uploaded while we were away. Loki even got a bath before pick up! Which I highly recommend. We plan to use them whenever we have the need.
