Best daycare in town. There is no one I trust more than Kirsten and Elijah with my dog. I actually…read moredon't really trust anyone else with him haha. I am a very anxious dog owner and it is so nice to be able to have him go and have some fun while I am at work and not have to worry about him. He is always excited to go and play there. They post photos to their page all day so you can see how much fun your dog is having. He is always happy and tired when I pick him up. The experience at this daycare is so much more than just running around and playing. It is structured and the dogs are carefully selected and well mannered. They treat each dog as if it were there own and have so much love and compassion for dogs. They are super accommodating and friendly. They also do grooming which is convenient, and one on one, no kennels, and Kirstin does a phenomenal job. They have a big yard for all the dogs to play and run. I believe they even do trials so you can see if it is a good fit for dog. 5/5 I would recommend to anyone! Just look at his smile :)

Excellent experience with this family run business. We were in Sequim for a few days on a getaway…read moreand wanted our Boxer boy to have some fun of his own. We'd never had him in daycare so I had a lot of questions and hesitation but they were prompt to respond each time. Our pup ended up having a great time with no issues with the other dogs. The two men we met that are in charge of overseeing the dogs were informative as well as understanding my nervousness about leaving him for the first time. There was ample paperwork to fill out but that proved they are cautious and fulfilling their responsibilities given their good reputation. It went so well we took him back a second day. They are a good 15 mins. off the beaten road in a very rural location but was worth the drive. Would definitely use them again if in that area.

Now the owner is trying to glass light the customer. Also definitely was not 15 minutes late as I called my husband at 10:41 to share when just happened and our schedule appt was 10:30..... so glad this business did not get my money. I will be adding another review to google! First time customer and had both of our dogs scheduled for a new customer appointment. I called saying we were going to be 7 minutes late coming from bow and I walked in only for them to have a large attitude and say that they could no longer fit us in. They didn't even offer to only groom one dog just simply said we can't do it. I asked why they didn't mention that on the phone before when I called 5 minutes prior. Terrible communication, terrible service. Do not bring your pet here.

We had our somewhat matted 9 year old Standard Poodle groomed using the mobile service today. The…read moregroomer showed up on time and did an excellent job. I was afraid she might strip him down since, as I said, he was matted, but she left him with a beautiful, velour summer pet clip. in addition, she took extra care to brush out his undocked tail into an impressive full flag. We are very happy with the result. We would continue to schedule grooming sessions with Paws Spa, but unfortunately we are moving out of range. one more comment: it was clear that the groomer was kind and gentle as our Poodle was happy and relaxed (and clean) when she brought him in from her grooming van. Very highly recommended.
