Our pup has really enjoyed his time at Paws N Rec. They truly care for the dogs and take great care of them. I know my pup would be so sad if he didn’t have this socialization time. It lets him play with other dogs and socialize with other …

I had such a happy 😊 dog when I picked her up yesterday!!

So impressed with the level of care. Harley loves her overnight stays and is always happy to go. I love that she gets a report card with photos during her stay. Staff is always friendly and makes us feel welcome.

Amazing and caring staff! My pup has been going there for more than a year and he can’t wait to get in when he gets there . They have many services to offer and never disappoint. I won’t go anywhere else!

As an employee, I think Paws'n'Rec is pawsome! I love seeing all the beautiful and amazing pups. More than that, I trust them with my own baby. I know my wonderful coworkers love Revan and will give her the love she needs when I need to …

They always take great care of my babies.

I love a place my furbaby has the warm and fuzzies and it was refreshing to see Sassy thrive in a new environment. We started with day care in Nov where she was relaxed at drop off but a little hesitant to mix with her pawpals. Initially, …

A nice place to take your dog for daycare. The staff are friendly and seem competent. My best friend is happy when we get there and is happy when we leave.

This is Raea’s 2nd home, she loves the adventure guides and all the love she feels when she is there!

Thanks for providing a fun, and safe, place for our girl!!

My German Shepherd (Apollo) and I have been members with PNR since the beginning. Simply put, PNR staff are family. They treat us like family. I’d recommend PNR to any dog owner, that appreciates good communication, culture and an …

We use Paws 'n' Rec for boarding, and Jack's always happy to be dropped off there!

Paws n Rec is the BEST! My dog, Athena, is always so excited to go. All the employees are so nice and helpful, too. I couldn’t imagine using another daycare!

I’ve gone to a few different doggy daycares between Florida and Colorado- Paws N Rec is the absolute BEST. They only allow members which I love so it isn’t over crowded and they get to know your baby. They post pictures throughout the day …

Our golden retriever has been going to PNR for years and loves it. It’s his home away from home.

A great place to bring your dog, the staff is always so friendly and seem to actually love our dog!

Paws N Rec takes such good care of my Figment! I am a veterinarian and can tell they do such a good job of taking care of all the fur babies. They call with even the slightest concerns, the staff gets to know and love all the dogs, and they…

Our little boy had a big adjustment last year when we moved down from Chicago and Paws 'n' Rec was a huge help in making him feel at home. Well over a year later, he is even more excited to go and loves all the adventure guides. They …

This place and everyone who works here is awesome… I really have no idea how they do what they do, but my boys love it here.

We’ve tried many places in the past and even though some things that we like, such as cameras aren’t present we …

I am eight years old and my Mom and Dad never put me up in boarding. They needed to be out of town for four days and decided to check out Paws 'n' Rec on W. Pearl. To my Mom's amazement, I passed my evaluation and stayed there while they …

My baby girl Ruby was so much more calm and happy when I picked her up today. The staff was so friendly and had great answers to all my questions. Highly recommend!

Great Place for boarding and grooming!

My pet was a rescue with a permanent handicap on his right front pole. This company was able to socialize my pet to other animals and was carrying for his injured leg. I recommend this very highly

Happy dogs after a wonderful day at Paws and Rec! Such care and attention. They are excited to go back each time. 💗

They are the best doggy boarding and camp around! Loving and professional staff. My pups love it there!

In my opinion, this place is more deserving than 5 ⭐️‘s! The owners and directors are heavily involved which is amazing and creates for an amazing personal relationship as well as pet relationship for your animals. The adventure guides are …

I completely trust the staff to taking care of my baby just for the day or for extended stays.

I have been taking my dog Peggy Sue to paws n rec for the last couple of months. I initially was concerned taking my dog to daycare as a lot of facilities keep the dogs in groups the whole day without any breaks, which can make a dog …

Very friendly staff and danni loved it

Wonderful staff. Easy to schedule with.

The BEST doggie daycare I've ever used – and my dog has been to at least 4-5 in several cities. The workers obviously love dogs – and care about their owners too!

So happy to have found Paws N Rec this past year of living in Tampa! It has turned into my pup’s home away from home. I have absolute peace of mind dropping him off each time for daycare and boarding. The staff have taken my pup in like …

My dog is so excited when I drop him off for a day of play at Paws 'n' Rec! The staff know him by name.

My little Dog Nala loves to go and play with the other Dogs.

Everyone knows our dog as soon as she walks inside. She gets so much play time with other dogs and is so excited to jump in the car when we take her there.

I just don't understand why people want pets if they don't take care of them. Our beautiful two dogs passed away within two years of each other and we miss them every day ❤️.

Our 6-year-old German Shephard loves going to Paws 'n' Rec. The staff is caring, friendly, and knowledgeable. Also, the groomers do a fantastic job, not only making our dog comfortable with the grooming process, but also with their …

Our two puppies, Bart and Lisa love Paws and Rec and so do I. It's nice to have a place you trust and staff who care for them like their own. We recently boarded them for a long weekend and if they could talk I know they would have lots of …

So it's been just under a year that my dachsund has joined the PNR squad. The staff has been very attentive to him and my needs as a dog mom. When he got stung on his ear(not here) he had a wound on his ear that they helped me watch and …

Best place to bring your dog! Staff is super friendly and it really shows that they care about their customers and the dogs. Definitely do not miss out on bringing your dog here!

I have been taking my dog to PNR for the past year and she loves it so much that she starts wagging her tale like crazy when we pull up for drop off. I know that without a doubt she is getting the best care in all of Tampa Bay and I will …

I love Pawsnrec! 🐾 They are very good with the dogs, have great hours, helpful and kind staff, and provide great service for dogs and mothers/owners alike! I highly recommend!

My fur babies went in for an evaluation day today and they came home hungry, happy, and ready for bed❣ The staff was very nice and professional. The only drawback is they aren't allowing facility tours, so I'm a bit hesitant to leave my …

Allan loves this place . Wishes he could stay furever.

Paw n Rec goes over and above to take care of our dog! He loves going there and is so excited every time we drive up for drop off. He goes often for daycare and we have used them for overnight boarding too. You can tell the staff truly …

Love this place. My pup is always SUPER excited when she figures out we’re going to PNR. You can tell that the people love the dogs, they all know her and she loves them (which is saying something bc she’s picky about humans she likes). …

Our dog Lulu had a great first impression with the PNR team. The process to sign up for the account and evaluation was user friendly and ver accessible for future visits.

Lulu looks forward to spending more time here

I love Paws N Rec! My dog has been going for around 6 months and he gets so excited every time we turn down the street. They are so good with him and he always comes home exhausted (which is great because he has so much energy). If you are …

I am giving 5 stars with a caveat. Currently, you can not your or enter the facility due to the pandemic. I understand this and will amend after I can tour ( I all positive I won't have too, though)

I have been taking my puppy, Boujee, to Paws 'n' Rec since she was 4 months (and fully vaccinated), and she loves it so much! At first, she was nervous to get dropped off and even meet new people. Now she jumps out of the car and runs …

Great place

I've been taking my dog to Paws 'n' Rec for about six months now and I can't recommend this place enough. You can tell the whole team loves dogs from the moment you step in. But most importantly, they treat your dog like you would--with …

I don't know who loves this place more: me or my dog, Lola! She has been going here for about 2 months now and she absolutely loves it! She's a rescue so is very hesitant in meeting new people and visiting new places. The first couple of …

My 4 month old puppy has been going here for the last month. He absolutely loves it! Despite my attempts to socialize him, he was still extra shy with people and other dogs when he started. The first two times I dropped him off, he was …

Great employees, good facility, and dedicated management. Definitely trust them with my pup!

I am more than happy with this pick for doggy daycare. I was on a short wait list for my large dog to get in but was worth the wait.

My girlfriend and I both work until 8 or 9pm everyday and every other dog park within 30 min drive from …

We adopted two puppies from the Humane Society during quarantine and were very weary about boarding them when we had to head out of town for a few days. Paws ‘n’ Rec was the perfect fit and the staff made us feel very comfortable leaving …

Friendly staff, 24/7 availability, flexible scheduling, midnight pick up. My puppy loves it here!

I don't often write reviews one way or another, but Paws'n'Rec is just TOO OUTSTANDING to not. First the fact that they are open 24/7 allows for those of us who don't work 9-5 to use their services without being penalized for additional …

The best service and conversation I've had with a business to date. The management team went above and beyond to help our family pup with boarding plans. They genuinely care about their customers and most importantly the pets themselves…

Deal Changer when you're a busy professional. My Pooch is very happy here!

I am sooo happy I found Paws n Rec. I love that there is always someone in the facility because it makes picking up and dropping off my Izzy, easier. I don't have a normal 9-5 job, so Paws n Rec makes it so convenient for me, without …

I have two poodle puppies (Thing 1 & Thing 2). When I found out about doggie daycare, PAWS & REC made my day. They let me leave both of them for a few hours without charge to see if daycare would work. The puppies Brody and Colby have …

We absolutely love taking our dog to Paws n Rec! Our pup is a very very hyper 1 year old puppy, and he always comes home tired from fun, and immediately hops in the bed, tucks himself in, and goes to sleep for the night. We have him on a …

Paws N Rec saved my pup from a return to the pound.

Overwhelmed is the word that comes to mind, but that is an understatement for the way I felt after I adopted my dog sweet, loving, gentle Louis from the Humane Society. When I adopted him…

I can't say enough good things about Paws n Rec and if my dog could talk, she would probably say even more. My dog *was* a very timid rescue with no training and a bad habit of peeing on my floor. After a handful of visits to Paws n Rec …

Our corgi Simon started going to PNR when he was 4 months old (once fully vaccinated) and seems to absolutely love it! He goes 15x per month. He is now almost 8 months old and still runs in and doesn't even look back when we arrive. …

Paws ‘n’ Rec is such a great place! I have a 1 year old goldendoodle that is full of energy and is nonstop all the time. It is amazing after a long day of work to come home and my dog actually be tired. Most days he goes to PnR he puts …

Bruno has been going to Paws 'n' Rec for 1.5 years and he is OBSESSED!! It is always a good feeling when your baby can't get inside fast enough to play with his friends. They are very safety oriented and give each pup special love and …

Paws N Rec is amazing ! The staff is so sweet & they treat my dog as if it is their own. Very professional, great customer service, and they are amazing and catering to all the animals. I could not recommend this place more !

Penny, my Silky Terrier loves Paws n Rec to the extent that we concider it her home away from home. Every staff member loves her and cares for her as if she belongs to them. The only time that Penny has been away from me overnight has been…

Five stars given for our experience which is brief , but excellent so far.Professional, great facility, great staff. I have a high strung, one person, velcro rescue Doberman who has never thrived in a day care environment before. We have…

Great staff. Awesome facility and fur baby approved. 😁
