Testimonials

Hi Catherine,
I just wanted to say how much I appreciate all you and Theresa are doing for Rio. He was not that eager to leave me at first when I brought him to Paws to Play Doggy Daycare but that seems to have changed over the weeks he has been exposed to the daycare situation. He is a Shiba Inu and very determined to have his own way but my husband and I were also determined he should have some time with other dogs in a safe environment and we should have some free time to work or do other activities. Over the weeks in daycare he has come to trust Catherine and Theresa and now goes in eagerly to his daycare pals and comes home tired having played with his friends all day. He also has had a bath at daycare and had his toes trimmed which is something he would not let my husband or I do. Overall I think Catherine and Theresa deserve many kudos for all the care and attention they give to Rio and all the other dogs as well. It can not be an easy job even if you do love dogs...so thank you very much.

Hi Catherine,

I just wanted to drop you a note to thank you and Teresa for taking such good care of Brolan for so many years. He was always very excited to "go daycare" and play and visit. On the days he knew he was going to daycare, he would lay next to the door and stare at me while I got ready for the day, as if to say, "Hurry up!" He was always so happy whenever I picked him up, I swear he wanted to say "Mom, I had the funnest day ever!" I'm glad he got a chance to spend one last day with you two and his doggy friends. Your daycare was one of his joys in life. Thank you.

"Thanks again for looking after Chevy. It gives me peace of mind when she is with you. I know she is safe and having a great time. She is as excited to see you as she is to see me and she has only met you a few times. She is sound asleep now just minutes after gobbling down her dinner. I don't imagine I will hear from her for the rest of the night."

"I just wanted to send you a short note to express my thanks for taking such good care of Dude...I know when I leave that he will be cared for as if you were his mommy. I remember meeting you for the first time and being so pleased and impressed with your facility to accommodate all types of dogs, big or small."

"I thought my 4 yr old giant Schnauzer was impossible to tire out-until I took him to Paws to Play Day Centre. After both my dogs' first day with Catherine, they were too tired to follow me around the house all evening. I too, enjoyed a blissfully quiet evening.
As an advocate for off leash parks and beaches, I've read all the studies about the great physical, mental and social benefits they provide dogs. Taking my dogs to Paws to Play is like sending them for a day at a clean, well supervised off leash park. They come home dog tired and happy."

"When getting our lab puppy, Hunter, we never thought we would have to put him into doggy day care. We knew we couldn't leave him home alone for ten hours a day. We did some homework and felt Paws to Play was best suited for him. Today, four months later, Hunter still goes to Paws to Play part-time and he loves it. Catherine has taken care of us when we needed her the most. To this we will always be very grateful."

"Henry and Brandy, my 2 Shelties have been going to day care since July 2004. The atmosphere and treatment they receive is wonderful. Great excitement happens on their "day out"; the dogs know where we're going and leap out of the car happily, ready for a day of fun. I have used both the grooming service and the boarding-both of which I am very happy with. It is good to know that my 2 dogs are with people that really love what they do and care about the pups as I do."

"Thank You for all of your work this year with Wally. I never believed he could be so calm around other dogs. Seeing his behavior in the dog park shows me with your help he has turned another corner. Thank You again."

"Baxter has been attending Paws To Play for almost a year. If it wasn't for the day care he probably wouldn't be complaisant and social. Baxter enjoys coming and enjoys playing with all his buddies. Of all the day cares we have seen, if Baxter could talk he would say " this day care is AWSOME!!!!!!!"
Thank you!"

"I enrolled my 5 yr old Blue Healer, Amber, into 'Paws to Play' once a week so she would become more social with other dogs. After about 2 months I took her to her favorite dog park. To my astonishment, she ran off to a group of about half a dozen dogs and greeted every one of them. She was just trying to meet & play with as many dogs as possible, big or small!
Thanks so much. I am so amazed at the change in Amber, since she is an adult dog. Now she looks forward to going to the 'doggie day care' every week."

Jaime with "Amber"

"Catherine and staff genuinely care about the happiness, health and well being of our Maggie and we appreciate that so much. Its nice to know that when Maggie is at Paws to Play she is being so well looked after. ......they also have helped us to work on some behavior and personality issues our dog was having, with great success.
Thank You Catherine and her fabulous warm and caring staff for a much needed and appreciated place for our dog to play!"

"Thanks so much once again for all the hard work you put into "Paws to Play" and all the attention and thoughtfulness you put into your work (ie. dealing with our two crazy hounds). Your wisdom, opinions and guidance have been invaluable, and our dog experience has been a much better one with you helping us limp our way through the Beagle life. Thank you sooo much for all that you do!
We are much appreciative!"
