Joey is a miracle worker...dare I say...the dog whisperer... Very compassionate, professional and reasonably priced. Will be having him train and/or board our next 2 pups also.

This is the 3rd time we have used Smart Paws for boarding. They are extremely friendly and organized. This was the first time we added bathing to the boarding. With two doodles, bathing can be difficult. Not only did they bath them but they dried them as well which makes a HUGE difference for a doodle. They went above and beyond for a simple bath. We will continue to use them for all our boarding needs. Both dogs come home healthy and without any stress, tired and worn out which means they are being well cared for!
Samantha and Megan are fantastic.

For our first experience here. My GSD was very thirsty when he got home at 5pm. He kept drinking and drinking till bedtime at 10pm. I know many kennels practice water restrictions, but it is a controversial practice. Some say this is not healthy and may reflect a shortage of staff because of housing too many dogs and being unable to keep up all the necessary chores. He was boarded for 1 and 1/2 days.
I highly recommend using Smart Paws for all your doggy needs. Not only did they match me with the perfect dog i’d been looking for, but they also provided me the training i needed. The owners, Megan and Samantha, make a great team and are able to meet everyone’s needs.
