The Paw Spot

The Paw Spot Pet Resort offers dog boarding and daycare in Tyler, Texas, at 11173 CR 168, and boards cats as well. Dogs stay in either a standard run or a private luxury suite, and cats have their own rooms and suites.

Rooms and play space

The luxury suites are furnished with Kuranda beds and a screen playing dog-friendly shows. Hallways are soundproofed, and drop-down privacy shades give an anxious dog somewhere to settle without watching everything walk past. Daycare uses secure play yards both indoors and outdoors, so a rainy afternoon doesn't end playtime. There is also a full-size swimming pool for dogs who like water.

• Overnight dog boarding in runs or private suites
• Dog daycare with indoor and outdoor play yards
• Cat rooms and suites with wall play systems
• Full-size swimming pool
• Medication administration for pets that need it

What stands out

Staff are PackPro certified and hold CPR and First Aid certification. The range of spaces covers different temperaments: a quiet, shaded suite for a dog who finds a busy kennel stressful, and open yards for one who would rather run all day. Owners whose pets are on a prescription schedule can have staff handle the doses.

Hours, rates, and booking

The Paw Spot is open 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Friday and 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM on Saturday, and it is closed Sunday. Nightly rates listed on the resort's website range from $22 to $45 depending on the type of room and the pet. Reservations are made by phone at (903) 954-2500 rather than through an online booking system, so it is worth calling early for holiday weeks. Current vaccinations are required for every pet before a stay.
