What Reviews Say

127 reviews analyzed

The Paw Social is exceptionally well-regarded for its 'home-style' approach to daycare and boarding, with near-universal praise for its high staff-to-dog ratio and personalized care. Customers are particularly impressed by the volume of photo and video updates provided throughout the day and the facility's ability to accommodate anxious, senior, or special-needs dogs. While the owner's responses to rare negative reviews are notably aggressive and defensive, the overwhelming majority of clients report a safe, clean, and highly enriching environment.
