Pet care experience
Thank you for choosing Paws a While Luxury Pet Resort and Day Camp, LLC !!! At Paws a While we aim to provide your pet with a luxury home based experience like no other, while keeping their safety a top priority. PLEASE NOTE: Our hours are 7AM - 7PM Monday through Friday, 7AM - 5:30PM Saturday and Sunday We have school aged children who go to bed early and we try to be respectful of our neighbors by keeping traffic at a minimum late at night and early in the morning! We are a registered LLC with private insurance, as well as certified in pet CPR and first aid. We are also grooming certified, however currently only offer baths and blow outs upon owner request for a small fee added to your boarding or daycare service. We also have a certification in animal psychology, so rest assured that we are trained to read animal behaviors and mannerisms to keep your pets as safe and happy as possible. Our main focus is cats and dogs, however we have personal experience with caged animals as well as farm livestock. We have extensive experience with reptiles, mainly snakes and geckos but are open to caring for any type of pet as long as you can provide us with basic care instructions. We have three children who live in the home and play an active roll in the enrichment and care of your pets. While our kids know what is and is not tolerated and acceptable around pets, they are still fun, noisy children, so it is important that your pet be tolerant of kids in order for them to be happy and comfortable here. Our two resident dogs are both well mannered and socialized. They love to play hard all day and snuggle at night. We also have one resident cat who mingles well with other dogs, but is also content in her own space. So don’t fret if your dog is cat reactive, we can accommodate that, just please let us know upon booking so we can be sure to have our cat secured prior to your arrival. We currently offer boarding and daycare services and are home the majority of the day. Each dog (or siblings) will be given their own private space for feedings, quiet times and bed time. We prefer your dogs be crate trained but we do not require crates. If you do not want your pet crated you will need to specify this to us prior to booking. If you opt out of the use of a crate we ask that your dog be non destructive and capable of being left in a bedroom alone with the door shut for periods of time where we might not be able to be home or fully attentive. Our entire home is available for your pets to enjoy and we also have a large fenced in yard as well as a 340 square foot detached recreation room for rainy day play and movie nights! Our yard is accessible from the home to the recreation room, therefore your pets will never leave a secured area from the time they step through the front door at drop off until the time they leave with you at pick up. We allow free flow from the home to the yard at your pets leisure, therefore we can easily accommodate elderly dogs or puppies who may need more frequent potty breaks. All pets in our care are required to have age appropriate vaccinations as well as be current on some form of flea and tick preventative. We do treat our yard monthly for pests, however we live in rural Randolph county and are surrounded by woods and farms. Our hours of operation are 7AM to 7PM Monday through Friday and 7AM to 5:30PM on Saturday and Sunday. We ask that you please respect these hours because we have school aged children in the home and we try to keep early morning and late night traffic to a minimum out of respect for our neighbors. All rates are on a 24 hour rolling period. Time needed over the 24 hour period will result in a daycare charge added to your booking. Please specify your pick up and drop off times at the time of booking so we can properly accommodate you and your pet. You will be required to fill out a new client form prior to your first drop off. We cannot wait to meet you and your pets and are so honored to have the opportunity to serve our community!
Reviews
Sadie loves Kristal and her family and is always happy and healthy when we pick her up.
Kristal is awesome! I scheduled the wrong pick up date and she was totally understanding and then when I was late picking up our pup she accommodated my schedule. I couldn’t ask for any better
Kristal is fantastic! She is always super flexible with us and takes great care of Gus!
Great pet sitter. Always pays attention to detail and let's you know if anything happens while the pet is in her care.
