Our Philosophy: Comfort Over Confinement
At Happy Paws Pet Camp, we believe dogs deserve more than a kennel — they deserve comfort, freedom, and companionship.
That’s why we offer cage-free boarding for our current, active daycare members, where campers sleep on comfortable cots and blankets rather than in kennels.
This approach helps your dog rest peacefully, stay relaxed, and feel at home — surrounded by familiar friends and caring staff.
🐶 If your pup prefers a touch of home, you're welcome to bring their favorite bed, blanket, or towel!
Daily Routine for Boarders
Our overnight guests enjoy the same fun-filled schedule as our daycare campers — with the added comfort of cozy overnight stays.
Typical Boarding Day:
Morning: Breakfast followed by outdoor play and social time with friends.
Afternoon: Structured play sessions, group activities, and rest breaks.
Evening: Dinner, quiet time, and snuggles before bedtime.
Night: Peaceful sleep on comfortable cots — no cages, ever!
