Hear What Everyone is Howling About
Our puppy guests can’t tell you how much they love it at Paws ‘n’ Rec, but their parents can!
“PNR is the best!! The staff is awesome, they genuinely know and care for my dog. Their hours are super convenient. I just feel good about leaving my Beagle there for a few days.”
“We can't say enough great things about PNR!! Our Lily girl has the absolute best time here. We have the peace of mind while we go out that she's being well-watched and taken care of. And we get a tired puppy for a few days after!”
“We had an amazing experience with Paws N' Rec - Lemon St. I had our doodle evaluated last week and my dog had the best time. I received photos and a report of how well she did that day - that took my worries away. This weekend she will be boarding for one night and I am certain that she will be well taken care of.”
