My family has been using this wonderful pet motel since 2004 and they never disappoint! They've watched 3 of our dogs and our beagle is scared of storms and they called me to let me know he's okay but really scared and that they were going to stay longer with him and pet him to calm him down. They really do go above and beyond for the animals and I full heartedly trust them to watch my fur babies! Highly recommend!

Have used them twice so far and both times our babies were treated very well they came home happy and healthy. Great operation with a very clean building when you drop them off. I appreciate you keeping our babies safe while we were off vacationing.

This is a review that deserves the rating it gets. The nuns that run this establishment along with their staff are amazing individuals who really take care of your pet. I'm very confident and secure knowing my dog is loved and well taken care of when he comes here. It's very easy to give this establishment the 5 stars they deserve.

The Sisters took such good care of our Old English Sheepdog when we boarded her for the first time. They were very in tune with her behaviors and realized within her first day there that she wasn't fully comfortable being with the louder dogs in the "party room" where they had placed her initially, so they moved her to the quieter side, where she was much happier. In addition, we were able to personalize her stay with them by adding extra walks, snuggles, and treats. We will definitely be returning!

We always trust our fur babies to the sisters at paws a while. They love going there and come home happy and well exercised. I can't recommend them highly enough.
