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, 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!
