The Difference
At Paws and Hearts, we believe every dog deserves more than just care—they deserve a second family. Our home-based boarding and day care service is built on a lifetime of experience and genuine love for animals. With over 30 years of combined hands-on knowledge and professional training, we provide a safe, nurturing environment where tails wag freely and owners enjoy peace of mind. We know trust is paramount. Our clients rely on us when long hours or travel keep them away, confident their companions are in dependable, loving hands. That peace of mind comes from our philosophy: we care for each dog as though it were our own. What sets us apart is not only our personal approach, but also our dedication to community. Through our publication, The Loyal Hearts Ledger, we share stories, insights, and moments that celebrate the deep bond between people and their pets. Whether your dog is here for a day, a week, or longer, they will find comfort, companionship, and joy at Paws and Hearts. Schedule a meet-and-greet today and discover why so many families call us their dog’s favorite home away from home.

Man, Gus ain’t never been this happy anywhere else but Paws and Hearts. Soon as we pull up, he’s waggin’ and ready to go, and when it’s time to leave, he don’t wanna budge. So glad we found Miss Cecilia—Gus straight up loves her.

I am so glad I found Paws and Hearts for Mongshil. Before, I always worry when I work or travel, but now I feel peaceful. Mongshil gets so happy to go—tail wagging all the time! I tell my friends, this place is the best.
