What Clients Say
Testimonials
From the time Viola was six months old, the Happy Paws team has taken amazing care of her – whether for the day, overnight, or for a week at a time. In fact, even though we moved to Charlottesville five years ago, I still only board Viola at Happy Paws! They understand and nurture her bulldog quirkiness. I cannot imagine leaving Viola anywhere else.

Boarding Requirements
Pets must be vaccinated against Rabies, Canine Flu, Distemper and Bordetella.
Before placing a dog with us, our trainers assess their size, age, personality, play style, and pet parent preferences. While your pup is spending time with us, we will monitor signs of hunger, fatigue, changes in behavior to make sure everyone plays nice and is enjoying the time spent at Happy Paws. We will also let you know if there are any issues you may want to address. $45 For first Time Clients Only!
Advance planning is key. First schedule your Meet & Greet, so we can all get to know each other. And then bring in your dog for a few hour-long play dates to make sure he or she is ready to spend the night away from home, can get along with the other dogs and can happily participate in the games and activities.
