Boarding & Daycare Services

Boarding & Daycare Services

At Paws and Minds Academy, dogs enjoy a calm, structured, and fun experience designed for real comfort and real connection. We combine safe, supervised play with personalized enrichment and a peaceful home environment, helping every dog, - from social butterflies to more sensitive souls - feel relaxed, confident, and understood. Your dog gets the focused attention, stability and emotional support they need to thrive during daycare or boarding.

Overnight Boarding

Our boarding experience is a boutique, home-based experience where your dog is treated like family. Dogs are welcomed into a peaceful, cozy environment where they can relax on the couch and settle in just like they would at home, and our overnight stays are designed to maintain peaceful routines while encouraging engagement and trust in a new setting. Every stay is personalized, with individual engagement, cuddles, and routines tailored to your dog's emotional needs and comfort level. Throughout the day, dogs enjoy play, mental stimulation, and confidence-building activities to keep them happy and fulfilled, all within a consistent structure that supports decompression, reduces stress, and helps them feel secure in a new place. Your dog's safety and comfort are always our priority, dogs from different households are never left alone together, and kenneling is only used when specifically needed for safety, comfort, or by request.

What's Included

  • Calm, home-based comfort 

  • Personalized attention & affection

  • Supervised yard time and enrichment

Day School

Our daycare offers more than simple supervised play, we focus on building social intelligence and emotional resilience through active socialization and real-world skill practice. Each day includes structured activities designed to boost focus, confidence, and mental resilience, alongside guided interactions that teach appropriate social skills and self-control in a positive, supportive way. We believe in a well-rounded day, so active play is always followed by calm, supervised decompression periods to keep energy levels healthy and stress-free. Dogs enjoy access to a very large backyard and smaller side yard, plus a spacious indoor play area for safe, weather-proof fun year-round. For pups who need a little extra, we also offer slat mill and treadmill sessions to provide additional exercise or controlled conditioning tailored to their individual needs.

What's Included

  • Confidence-building group exercises

  • Cooperative play & boundary work

  • Routines & restful downtime

  • Expansive play areas

  • Specialty equipment options

Best for: High-energy dogs needing mental fulfillment, puppies learning social manners, temperament-sensitive dogs seeking a safe, small-group setting, and dogs who need gentle, supervised interactions with other dogs, including those who may be hesitant or selective, helping them build confidence and positive social skills.

In House Sitting in Living Room Area

Before boarding, we begin with a quick phone consultation to learn about your dog’s needs. After that, clients may schedule a daycare visit or walk as a meet-and-greet option. This allows your dog to get comfortable in a natural way without the stress of traditional facility tours.
This ensures that while your dog is with us, they receive professional, attentive care in a calm, secure setting.
