Petite Paws Dog Boarding

Petite Paws Dog Boarding provides dog boarding in Deerfield, WI, for small dogs and nothing larger. The kennel sits at 3668 Ridge Rd and gives owners two ways to book a stay: a traditional kennel setup, or an in-home option where the dog stays in the house rather than a run.

What a stay includes

Dogs rest in spacious 5' x 6' indoor kennels on Kuranda raised beds. The space is climate controlled with radiant floor heating and air conditioning, so winter and summer stays are handled the same way. There is a large living room area indoors plus outdoor space, and dogs get supervised exercise and playtime every day.

• Traditional boarding in 5' x 6' indoor kennels
• In-home boarding for dogs who do better inside a house
• Climate control, including radiant floor heating and air conditioning
• Supervised daily exercise and playtime
• Medication administration and pick-up/drop-off service

What makes it different

The small-dog-only policy is the main thing here. Small dogs are not sharing space, sightlines, or play sessions with big dogs, which matters to owners of toy and mini breeds who have had a hard time finding a comfortable fit. The focus is on personal attention and a calm environment rather than volume.

Rates and booking

Published rates run $28 to $40 per day, depending on whether the dog stays in the kennels or in the home. Booking is by phone at 608-345-0875, so owners should call to check dates and talk through their dog's routine. Pick-up and drop-off can be arranged, which helps anyone whose schedule does not line up with a drive out to Deerfield. Owners bringing medication can have it given during the stay.
