Paws Amoré

Paws Amoré is a dog boarding and doggie daycare facility at 1901 E Bremer Ave in Waverly, Iowa. It also offers dog training, grooming, and a pick-up and drop-off service for local owners.

What does a day at Paws Amoré look like?

Daycare here follows a set structure. Dogs get group play, one-on-one time with a staff member, nap time, and healthy snacks. They also spend time in the outdoor play areas and the indoor play space. The kennel describes its aim as a safe, positive, well-balanced setting where dogs can burn off energy, socialize, and exercise their minds.

How does overnight boarding work?

Overnight boarding goes by the name "Staycation" at Paws Amoré. Boarding dogs sleep in individual accommodations, and private suites are available. During the day they follow the same routine as the daycare dogs. Each boarder gets multiple potty breaks and one-on-one activity with staff.

What services are offered?

• Doggie daycare with group and one-on-one play
• Overnight boarding in individual accommodations
• Dog training built on positive reinforcement
• Grooming and baths at the in-house pet spa
• Paws Express pick-up and drop-off

What sets it apart?

Training is part of the daily routine. Group play is designed around training, and the kennel's approach relies on positive reinforcement rather than correction. Paws Amoré lists the Karen Pryor Puppy Start Right Program among its certifications. For owners who want their dog to pick up manners while at daycare, that focus is the main draw. The whole facility is sanitized daily.
