Paws Paradise Fur Life - Tampa, Florida

Carina Canizares

My dog goes to camp in st Pete and Tampa! He definitely favors this camp due to smaller groups. Hes been going for several months and also had grooming. They sometimes upload photos at the end of the day which is nice to see and your pup gets a report card. I love the flexibility of drop off and pick up. It’s such a huge convenience to not be locked into certain pick up and drop off times! I highly recommend.

*RAVE!* SEPARATION ANXIETY REVIEW - 1st Time Customer:

My pup was stressed the first night I dropped her off but the overnight staff stayed with her to calm her nerves so she could sleep with some companionship. They slowly integrated her into group settings and she was able to enjoy the outdoor space. I received several photos each day and that eased my nerves tremendously! The staff was incredibly responsive to our WhatsApp message thread and I even received a phone call to discuss my pup’s first update. I know my dog’s mannerisms very well since we are inseparable and together 24/7. I posted several photos on this review but I can easily identify the sole picture from night 1 with her heightened anxiety look and pinned back ears. The subsequent photos are in sharp contrast and she’s visibly enjoying her new friends. We will absolutely be back for my remaining business trips! I highly recommend the facility and staff which are top tier!

Background of Anxiety and Previous Boarding Facilities for Reference:

My basenji pup had severe separation anxiety since day 1 of her adoption and it has not subsided when we are separated. My job recently required travel again and my 1st 2 business trips were an absolute nightmare dealing with the aftermath of previous boarding experiences. After the first trip, my pup left a different boarding facility with a bout of diarrhea requiring me to take her out every 2-3 hours for 2 entire days. The second trip ended with a very expensive late night emergency vet appointment due to anxiety induced colitis. She was so stressed that she lost 2.5 pounds in a few short hours and I rushed her to a 24 hour emergency clinic. (VEG Tampa was fabulous!) It was heartbreaking to see the toll my travel was causing my pup and I was beginning to consider a resignation if I couldn’t find a good fit.

In addition to her severe anxiety, she’s a master escape artist that would rival Houdini. She’s escaped kennels, collars, harnesses, fences, chewed through her leash several times in seconds and has high prey drive. She tends to immediately run to the busiest street with the fastest cars to chase. As a result, I’m extraordinarily overprotective and terrified that unqualified facilities would not be able to board her safely. The staff at Paws Paradise Fur Life exceeded my expectations and threw me a lifeline. I’m very impressed by their business model as they are geared towards pet owners who are passionate about their fur babies happiness and well-being rather than stacking up small kennels and cramming as many dogs as possible into tight spaces. THANK YOU! <3

Paws is THE BEST. Not only do I trust them, my frenchie loves attending daycare! It’s his favorite day of the week. Everyone makes us feel at home and they show him so much love. I am happy to find somewhere that genuinely cares about my boy as much as I do. Thank you so much to everyone at paw’s for a safe space for my boy!

Carly from Paws Paradise took great care of my two cats while we were away! It is such a great comfort to have a pet sitter that you can rely on to watch your pets when you travel. She visited the house as requested and sent photos of the girls playing and having fun so that we would not miss them as much. I appreciate your professionalism and care! Thank you to the team!

This was my first time dropping off my dog here Where are you? and it was last minute during Thanksgiving and they were more than accommodating. My dog was so happy here they sent pictures of my dog running, and he looked like he was having so much fun. It was such a relief to know that he was in good hands. They were super sweet and friendly and I would 100% recommend this place for your pet pet

As a first time user of any kennel service, I was very nervous about leaving my dog overnight without his family. Little did I know Paws Paradise Fur Life IS like a second family! I received photos of my pup looking extremely happy while staying here during his visit, and the staff was extremely friendly and attentive. At pick up, my dog looked like part of the pack which I was happy to see! I will be using this service again and would recommend Paws Paradise Fur Life to anyone looking for a great place to board/daycare their pup.

I recently started taking my dog here for daycare and it has been an amazing experience! Every-time we pull into the parking lot, Tito gets excited because he knows he’s going to get a day with so many friends. He’s only 2 so has a lot of energy and they do what they can to help him burn it off. I know he can be a rowdy puppy but they always welcome him with a smile and so much love. I have nothing but amazing things to say about this place and their staff!!

I have been taking my large 1 year-old dog and 13 year-old diabetic dog to Paws Paradise Fur Life for the past year and cannot give them enough stars. The owner, Cindy, and her team of professionals are committed to providing fun and safe care for daycare and boarding. We attend weekly daycare and board frequently. They group the dogs by behaviors so someone is always available for playtime. I have yet to find anything close to providing the care for my fur babies or as responsive as Paws Paradise Fur Life. My diabetic dog requires insulin shots, meds, and eye drops daily and they never miss a beat. They also have pup treats and grooming, which we enjoy. Don't miss out on peace of mind and come bring your dogs to play with Louis Vuitton and Tashi.
