Pet care experience

Happy Paws Pet Care.

Happy Paws Dog Care will give your friend a pawsitively wonderful tail-wagging experience. Whether your buddy is a couch potato or very active, we can develop a program that will put a smile on their face and a wag in their tail. I have 55-years experience taking care of cats and dogs. Our 2,000 square ft ranch with fenced in backyard is located in a quiet sea coast community two tenths of a mile from the water and open fields. I have high energy, really enjoy taking dogs on long walks along the beach, wooded areas and residential communities.

Sam and Pam were great with our dog Tucker. Tucker seemed to have enjoyed his stay.🙂

Sam and his wife were great! Our dog Simon seemed very content and happy when we picked him up. We were so pleased with Sam we have already booked again.😃 It is very comforting knowing Simon is safe and happy when we are away. Thank you Sam and Pam!

Today was our first time leaving our dog with Sam and we could not have been more pleased with the care he gave her. I highly recommend Sam!

Sam has a lovely fenced back yard in a quiet neighborhood not near major traffic. Shiloh had a lovely time at Sam's house (some of it in Pam's lap), and will most likely be returning during our next trip.
