How to enroll your fur-kid to stay at Paw Paw's....
2. Scheduling your Evaluation Day
Once we have assessed your fur-kids needs, determined eligibility and checked availability for your dates... we will need to schedule your fur-kids evaluation day. We will advise you of our first available and a few other options and we'll put that reservation in for you. This will all take place by email.
3. Booking future Reservations
After your kid has passed their Evaluation Day and we know which daycare and boarding options your fur-kid is best fit for, you can submit your reservations request through your booking account.
Reservations will be checked for availability and we will contact you by email to verify dates and such.
To confirm boarding reservations there is a non- refundable or transferable deposit.Once we have worked out the specifics of your stay we will send the deposit invoice via PayPal.
What is an Evaluation day
An evaluation day is a full-day appointment. During this time, we assess how your fur-kid is going to do while they are with us. We are looking for any anxiety, the interaction with people and other fur-kids, as well as we are assessing their physical and mental needs. We want to make sure the fur-kids are going to be happy and comfortable before you go out of town.
Evaluation days are also a good way to get fur-kids comfortable before boarding stays. The more familiar fur-kids are with us, the more comfortable they will be during their stay.
Remember, all fur-kids must be DOG & PEOPLE friendly, and free from contact with other’s dogs for 10 or more days before their visit.
Booking an evaluation: We book your evaluation day for you. Depending on your needs and availability, evaluations are booked Monday through Thursday with drop-off times available from 7-9am and pick-up from 4-6pm.
Evaluation Appointments are $35
Facility Tours
This is a private boarding facility. We do not offer facility tours. We understand this can be difficult for some parents, but we must consider the fur-kids in our care. We do not have a lobby that allows you to be kept separate or a secret from the fur-kids unless I put them all outside. Knocks on the doors and new guests introduced to the facility result in unnecessary stress. Fur-kids get all worked up and it is difficult to keep them calm and keep them from upsetting our more sensitive and older fur-kids. The facility is pictured entirely on our Facebook page and our website. We have nothing to hide, just precious souls to protect.
Expect a Delay in Response
Due to increased demand, our response times may be a little slower than usual. During the day, our full focus is on giving the best care to our fur-babies, and in the evenings, we dedicate time to handling reservations and inquiries.
Phone calls can be tricky—we get a high volume, I tend to talk too much, and the fur-kids often chime in! That’s why we primarily communicate via email. We know it can feel tough to reach us, so we’ve packed our website with all the information you need about our dog boarding and daycare services.
Thank you for your patience—it’s truly worth it, because every fur-kid in our care gets the love, attention, and fun they deserve!
