I’ve had three terriers who went to different daycare‘s, which were fine but nothing like this one. I cannot say enough about the staff particularly Sarah. It’s a welcoming space and I love to feed the fact that we get the agility sessions are really fun for my lovely Luna.

We have been bringing our little dog here for some time now and love it. The staff are amazing with all the dogs and are very attentive. Everytime we show up, our dog just runs in with no hesitation and I think that is the best review she can give.

We absolutely love petite paws! We appreciate the process they use introducing dogs to the daycare to make sure they are comfortable. Our pup, Murphy, absolutely loves going. We appreciate the videos they post on instagram + love seeing our girl playing or napping (usually on or near someones lap) You can tell the entire staff truly care about the dogs and are passionate about what they do. I would recommend petite paws to anyone!!! Bonus points that Murphy is the sleepiest + cuddliest girl when we pick her up from playcare days!!! Thank you Petite Paws for all that you do!

I cannot recommend Petite Paws Playcare enough, and especially Sara, for the incredible care and understanding they provide. When I was looking for a daycare for my dog, Coconut, it was so important to find a place that truly understands not every dog is ready for daycare, and that slow introductions are key. Sara and her team completely get it. They take the time to ensure that dogs are not pushed past their comfort zones, which is essential not only for the dog’s physical and mental well-being but also for the safety and happiness of all the other dogs in the daycare. Coconut is a rescue who joined our family in July and came with separation anxiety due to his past experiences. Since starting daycare at Petite Paws, his anxiety has improved dramatically. This has been in conjunction with his ongoing training and veterinary care. I genuinely believe the patience and care that Sara and the team provide have been instrumental in his progress. If you’re looking for a daycare that prioritizes your dog’s well-being and provides a thoughtful, gradual approach to introductions, Petite Paws Playcare is the place to go. I am so grateful for Sara and the whole team for giving Coconut the time, attention, and support he needs to thrive.

Love Sara and team! They're super friendly and very easy going. We've been coming since Koko was 7 months old, great way for him to socialize and run down his energy 😝. They kept us updated on how he was doing and they do IG stories of the day (which I absolutely love) he's extremely happy when he knows we're close by for drop off and super exhausted from playing all day when picked up. We enjoy bringing Koko here because we know he's happy with his friends and the staff ❤️ They also do nail trims & agility which is a bonus!
