Paw Pals Bed & Breakfast

Hi everyone - I have been with Dogvacay which is now Rover for more than 11 years now. I work from home and my hours for meet and greets, drop off and pickup is 7 AM to 6 PM, seven day a week and I can be flexible at times depending upon my schedule and other obligations. When you leave your babies with me, they become my babies. They get lots of hugs and cuddles, I only feed them what is brought for them and no table scraps. I also feed all dogs separately. I have 2 doggie doors with 24 hour access inside/outside. They must get along with other dogs and absolutely no aggression. I have a big back yard with high walls. Set up a meet and greet here at Paw Pals Bed & Breakfast! You won't be disappointed. I currently work from home 90% of the time which leaves me plenty of time to cuddle and play with your fur baby. I only take non aggressive dogs. I have a fenced yard with 24 hour access to a doggie door. I am very passionate about what I do and I get very attached to all my regulars. This is a second home to a lot of my pups. I look forward to meeting you all!

As always, Quinley was excited when she realized where we were going. And she was happy when I picked her up. She always has a great time at Shell’s playing with the dogs and is always well taken care of. I have no worries when I leave her while on vacation. You can definitely trust your dog is in good hands.

Another great stay for our Dorothy, we have used her several times now and are always happy. Shell is very responsive and flexible with anything we need. Will continue to use her for all future needs - highly recommend!

Shell was great with my puppy Bella. We did a meet and greet before I booked with her for the first time and she has a great setup for dogs. Keeping the smaller dogs separate from the bigger dogs. I liked that my dog Bella got to interact with other dogs as she is our only puppy and we work from home. Shell sent updates to let us know how bella was doing and also has great communication. She was also very flexible with pick up and drop off times as long as we gave her a heads up. Will definitely book with Shell again.
