What services does Southern Paws offer?

The kennel offers both traditional and cage-free boarding, plus daycare for dogs who need an active day out. It also takes short-term and holiday stays, which helps when a weekend trip or family visit comes up.

What sets it apart from other kennels?

The owner has veterinary technician education and over 10 years of pet care experience. The team describes a hands-on approach that pays attention to each dog's personality, comfort, and play style. The business is licensed and insured.

New dogs start with a complimentary meet and greet. Before a first overnight stay, each dog also completes a free Trial Day Assessment. This gives a dog time to learn the space and the people before spending a night away from home.
