3 years Golden loves it, and they always post pictures at the end of the day. Very friendly and welcoming! Reasonable pricing too

Our dog loves going here. He goes nuts in the car anytime we drive by or are approaching. It's testament to how well they treat the dogs.

I wish I could give the Home of Paws 10 stars! My Husky has been going there for almost four years now, and she LOVES it! As soon as I ask her if she is ready to go to HOP, she runs to the door and starts spinning in excitement. The people there are wonderful, and the owners are just the best.I love the constant pictures and videos they share of my pup. AS a dog lover, I also enjoy the ones of the other pups, as well. :-)My dog has food sensitivities, but loves to eat lunch with her fur-ends and to get an end-of-day treat. I bring in a container of her special food and treats, and they make sure that is what she gets when she is there.For a short time I had to send her to a different daycare due to a job change. The difference in my dog's behavior was noticeable. She was never as excited to go and did not come home like she had an enjoyable day. I brought her back to the HOP, and her excitement returned.And, the staff and owners are great! It's nice to walk in and to have staff and the owners ask about your day, events you have in your life.

I started using home of paws since they opened and my 2 dogs have enjoyed every minute!!! They come home exhausted and played out. Lisa, Pascal, and the HOP crew are fantastic and take care of my pups like their own! This place is the best!!

My dog has been going to The Home of Paws for the past 4 years . We started when they had just opened so we have watched them grow as a business, deal with a pandemic and now be a thriving and well respected Dog Daycare and Boarding Facility . The Facility itself is always clean and bright. It's very safe and is all fenced in . The indoor space is very large and has play structures , real furniture for the dogs to relax and dog beds , an abundance of toys, bones and more . The outdoor space is very large and allows the dog to get fresh air and sun , play on the additional play structures , water games and catch etc . It's nice that the dogs can be outside all year long but also have the safety of being inside when the weather is not safe for them . The dogs have the freedom to roam and play as they wish and are constantly being supervised . One of the things that I first noticed was that my dog did not have to be crated or forced to nap during their daycare time . I have used other local dog daycares and I learned that my dog was being crated for extended period of times and not getting the socialization and play that I expected . Other daycares also did not allow toys for the dogs . At The Home of Paws there are so many toys and balls that every dog has something to keep them stimulated . There is play time where they are playing catch or having my dogs favorite time which is anything WATER related . They have lots of little kiddie pools and buckets for the dogs to play in . My dog is never crated or forced to nap during daycare time, if she wants to nap she has plenty of comfy places she can choose and she does nap when she wants . When my dog boards she is crated for safety over night , however there is staff that comes and plays with the dogs on off hours that HOP might not be open . Many other facilities do not do this but HOP does . They are big advocates for the dogs and are constantly making sure the dogs get plenty of exercise and extra love especially when they are away from their families . The Owners and Staff at HOP are the BEST , they are all friendly and helpful and you can tell that they ALL love what they do . I would not allow anyone else to take my dog overnight or for daycare , only The HOME of PAWS because I know she is treated with love and always safe . Check them out !

We thought we found a great place for our buddy, the staff is very friendly. HOWEVER! Our dog has been going to daycares for 6 years now and we never had serious issues until the home of paws a few months ago. They do not have a completely safe environment for dogs. Our dog has never eaten rocks before this event. After a day of daycare, he was passing blood. We took him to the vet, to learn he was backed up with a TON of rocks. They have loose, very small, jagged rocks in their play area. The owner of the business denied they have any rocks on their facility, which is a flat out lie, and can be seen clear as day on the perimeter of the fence, from the outside looking in. They told me to give the dog pepto…the fact that they showed no remorse, didn’t apologize and did not accept any responsibility, it took a lot to restrain myself from the owner who could have cared less…after 2 procedures and about 4k dollars in vet expenses, our buddy was back to being himself. STAY AWAY FROM HOME OF PAWS. There is a dog daycare 5 minutes from that location, that cares about the wellbeing of your dog. They are an internationally recognized company, with standards to uphold, called Dogtopia. If you care about your buddy, I don’t recommend Home of Paws.

The owners of this facility, Pascal and Lisa, are awful in my opinon. They terminated an employee after her 3rd day of work, after she was bitten by one of the dogs onsite at the facility two days earlier, on her 2nd day of work. That is a fact. This is a public forum and this is my opinion. They brought up another reason for the termination which should have been handled through coaching and not immediate termination. And on top of it, they terminated her over the phone!!! COMPLETEY UNPROFESSIONAL!!! If they treat people so shabbily, how do they treat the animals in their care??? Again, this a public forum and this is my opinion.This is the owners response,I will respond to in (parenthesis):Response from the owner9 hours agoYou're daughter was not terminated because she got a nip so small that she didn't even report it to management until she got home. (Nice job caring about the wellbeing of your staff.BTW, the bite drew blood!) She was terminated because she refused to listen to instructions. During her phone interview and in person interview she was told that she was not there to stand around talking. During her working interview she was told the same thing and we were hesitant to hire her (Why would you have been hesitant) but because she came recommended by a client we gave her a shot. (The client that she made the joke with about her dog.BTW, as dog owners I am sure we all call our dogs little A-Holes at times!.It was a joke,anyone would know it was a joke) On her first day she was given our policies which she signed and acknowledge that excessive talking is not tolerated we also discussed it with her. She also acknowledged and signed the proper way to talk to customers. (was there a policy about what to do if she got bit?) She proceeded to roughly push the dogs away from her and not watch them but focus on talking to the employees and following them around. (I doubt it, but you love video so much,did you ever show her that behavior and give her training?) She was instructed that the dogs are our number 1 priority not talking and that we treat the dogs like family. (I just read by a client Bob Booth and his dog Heisenberg, that he spent $4000 due to your facility.I didn't see an apology or offer to pay for the vet fees.but sure, you treat your dogs like family. Mr Booth, I hope Heisenburg is OK) If they come up to you that want attention not to be pushed away. This scenario repeated on her 2nd day. (The day she was bit). She also told management that the training videos were stupid and boring. (Maybe the videos were stupid and boring). On her third day she was told several times again to stop talking, watch the dogs and interact with them. Management got together after she left and decided that she does not want to follow our procedures and dismissed her over the phone because she had already left for the day. (An awful thing to do to anyone, especially a young girl on her 3rd day at her first job.Also, as business owners, you didn't even know the law regarding a final paycheck)On her last day she also used profanity to the customer that had recommended her when talking about the customers dog. She had no idea if any other customers were in the store and regardless this is totally inappropriate.(You are wound far too tight, and as I said, anyone within earshot would have thought it was funny,and if it upset you, AGAIN, that's what coaching is for, that's what good owners and managers do,frankly, it's what good and decent people do)As a parent of 4 highly successful children my advice to you would be to tell your daughter who is over 18, to put on her big girl pants and learn from this experience when she has her next job. (I advised her to quit after she told me what Pascal asked her regarding what she said. She said she's not a quitter, You talk about "Big Girl Pants" That should be all anyone reading this needs to know about the two of you. Also, maybe you should put on your since I don't know who wrote the response). (Mr Booth, again, I hope Heisenburg is do

I recently had my GSD stay overnight for 2 nights. She got to play all day then rest to do it all over again the next day. I know it was a positive experience for her not only because the staff there are so nice but because she wanted to go back for daycare two days later. Dogs are smart. She wouldn’t have wanted to go back if she didn’t like it there. Highly recommend boarding (and daycare) at Home of Paws!

My Stormi girl loves The Home of Paws! Highly recommend if you are looking for a doggy daycare. We have had a great experience coming here. When I tell her we are going to "school", her ears perk up and she is so excited! They post a ton of awesome photos and videos every single day which I look forward to. The staff is very friendly and makes you feel welcome. They have plenty of toys, pools, etc. to keep them busy and the best part is she comes home exhausted! So happy we found this place.

I travel from plainville to get my haircut here. Using scissors to cut hair is a dying art. Here it's top quality art at an affordable price.

Brought our 2 pups for an evaluation. They were there for 3 hours, didn't know how they would do. They loved it. Saw pics online and while happy to see us, they kinda didn't want to leave. Lots of indoor and outdoor room. Plenty of toys and supervision.

My Lilly Girl LOVES Home of Paws! She always comes home happy and tuckered out. Whenever we pull up to HOP she’s already trying to jump out of the car to go in (which already tells me she gets loved over there). Everyone I have talked to there, is always friendly and welcoming.They are active on their Facebook page, so it’s always great to see the photos they get of the dogs enjoying their time over there. Also, their online client portal makes it nearly seamless to book boarding/daycare/play groups.10/10 recommend!

I have never seen my dogs so excited to go anywhere as they are to go to Home of Paws. The photos are precious as well. Definitely recommend.

Our Great Dane Vader loves this daycare. We just started coming here in Sept and they are so wonderful with communicating, accommodating our needs and understanding the breed of a Great Dane and what their struggles are as a breed . Excellent prices and atmosphere:)
