Our Paw-Some Services
Dog Daycare
We have the best dog-to-person ratio (8:1) in town, ensuring that your pup is not only safe but that they’re also having a dog-gone good time.
We’ll start with an evaluation and free day at daycare to make sure that your furry friend will thrive in the daycare environment. Then, we can sign you up for our Dog Daycare Adventure Membership and you can breathe easy knowing that your family member will have a home away from home that they’ll love to come to when you’re away.
Dog Boarding
Leaving your furry family can be tough. But it can be made easier knowing that they’re in a safe environment with well-trained staff that will help your pup adjust to your absence smoothly. They can chase their fur-iends around during the day and rest in comfort at night, so they’re refreshed for the next day of fun.
Similar to dog daycare, we will evaluate your dog to ensure that we can get to know them and that they’ll be able to enjoy their stay with us. Then, you can board at any of our locations whenever you’re out of town.
Dog Grooming
Skip the stress and mess of dog grooming. Our expertly trained groomers will make your pup feel right at home while they pamper them with our premier services.
We provide options like:
- Full grooms
- Baths
- Blow outs
- Nail trims
- Teeth brushing
- Ear cleaning
- Brush outs
- De-shedding treatments

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.”
Paul Yates
“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!”
Andrea Rusch
“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.”
