Dog Boarding

Dog Boarding That Feels Like Coming Home
You’ve planned your trip. Bags are packed. But something doesn’t sit right.
Your dog knows something’s up, and the thought of leaving them in a noisy kennel, behind metal bars and barking walls, just doesn’t feel fair.
At Pawzitive Pet Care, we understand that guilt. We’ve felt it too. That’s why we’ve created something different: a home-based, kennel-free boarding experience that lets your dog relax, feel safe, and truly enjoy their time while you’re away.
This isn’t just boarding. This is care, connection, and comfort — all under one roof.
Not a Kennel. Not a Facility. A Real Home.
We don’t use cages. We don’t rotate dogs through shifts. And we never treat your pet like a number.
When your dog stays with us, they become part of our home and our family. They have the freedom to roam, nap on a favorite rug, or curl up on a cozy bed. There’s space to play, explore, or simply be near someone who understands dogs and loves them deeply.
Whether your pup is outgoing or more reserved, we create an environment that meets them where they are.

Less Stress, More Stability
We’ve cared for dogs who’ve come from traditional kennels with hoarse barks, sore paws, and signs of stress. It’s not their fault — those environments simply aren’t designed with individual well-being in mind. Our calm, quiet environment helps even anxious dogs settle in faster and thrive.

Gentle and familiar routines that mirror home life

Thoughtful socialization with compatible companions

Supervised freedom to move, stretch, and rest without barriers

“We used to dread leaving town because our lab mix, Toby, always came back from the kennel a little withdrawn. After staying with Pawzitive Pet Care, he came home happy, rested, and clearly adored. Now he runs to the door when we drop him off.”

Daily Movement and Mindful Play
Every dog needs more than a backyard. They require purposeful activity and gentle stimulation to maintain their balance.
Each day includes physical exercise tailored to your dog’s personality and energy level — whether that’s a long walk through the neighborhood, a relaxed game of fetch, or quiet outdoor sniff time. To make things even easier for you, we offer complimentary pick-up and drop-off, so your dog’s care fits seamlessly into your schedule.
But we also go beyond the physical. Your dog will be engaged with low-pressure mental enrichment, like food puzzles, simple problem-solving games, and calm training refreshers. It’s our way of keeping their minds happy, not just their bodies.
Personalized, Hands-On Care
We keep our boarding numbers small so we can focus on what matters: individual attention.
Your dog won’t be one of many. They’ll be known by name, understood for their quirks, and cared for according to their unique routine. We take time to learn:
We also accommodate any special needs, including medication administration, feeding routines, and emotional sensitivities.


You Deserve Peace of Mind, Too
We’ve built our business on trust — not just with dogs, but with the people who love them most.
While you’re away, we’ll stay in touch. You’ll receive thoughtful updates and quiet assurance that your dog is not just okay, but truly comfortable. Our goal isn’t just to care for your pet — it’s to take the worry off your shoulders.
Where Dogs Settle In and Owners Breathe Easy
We understand the difficult decision of leaving your dog behind. That’s why we’ve made it easier by creating a space that feels more like a trusted friend’s home than a business.
At Pawzitive Pet Care, we treat dogs with the same respect and compassion we’d want for our own. We don’t cut corners, and we don’t believe in quick fixes – just honest, wholehearted care from people who genuinely understand.
If you’re ready to give your dog a boarding experience that prioritizes their comfort, we’d love to meet you.
Reach out today to learn more, schedule a visit, or reserve your pup’s stay.
Because when you’re away, your dog deserves to feel safe, seen, and loved.
