4 Paws Playhouse

4 Paws Playhouse is a home-based dog boarding and daycare service in Clearwater, FL, set up specifically for toy and small dog breeds. Dogs are cared for in a home rather than a large kennel building, with daytime care and overnight stays both available.

Who is this a good fit for?

Because the service only takes small dogs, a little dog won't be sharing play space with large breeds. That alone matters to many owners of toy breeds who worry about rough play. The caregiver also has experience with senior dogs, dogs with medical conditions, and dogs with special needs.

If your older dog or a dog with health issues struggles in a busy kennel, a quieter home setting may suit them better. The business describes its goal as a fun, safe, and clean place for dogs to run, play, and socialize, with real attention to each dog's emotional and physical well-being.

What services are offered?

• Daycare for toy and small breeds
• Overnight boarding in a home setting
• Care for senior, medical, and special needs dogs
• Flexible drop-off and pick-up hours

Is it licensed and certified?

4 Paws Playhouse is licensed and insured in Pinellas County. The business lists IBPSA membership, along with Pet Care Provider and Pet Care Specialist certifications.
