Paws Indoors are such a hands on, understand doggy day care. They genuinely have the best interest of the dogs they care for! I have a puppy that goes and have such peace of mind that not only is he having a great time but he's also still getting his regular naps and downtime. The schedule is filled with activities that will contribute to him being a well rounded dog later in life.

I can not tell you how wonderful the Paws Indoors team is. I was so nervous about sending my little baby there and over the years she has just exploded in gorgeous personality and her highlight of the week is Paws! She doesn't even look back at me when she runs in! The whole team treat my little one like their own and the love and training they provide is amazing!!! Do not hesitate to welcome them into your routine. Can not thank Paws enough for everything they do 🩷🩷🩷

Excellent Excellent ,Excellent .i cannot rate Paws indoors high enough . This is an absolute great facility. They look after my dog, so very very well. The staff are absolutely brilliant ,professional, knowledgeable, dedicated and absolutely wonderful with all the dogs in their care. This is the best place that I have used in the 27 years that I have owned Dogs. My wonderful dog Francesco absolutely loves being here and all the staff treat him so well, and their commitment to looking after the dogs and training them, is absolutely at the highest level.. This is the only place I would allow any of my Dogs to go to. I cannot rate it highly enough . Well done to ALL the wonderful staff for their hard work, you are all doing an amazing job.

Saw an ad to say free spaces & messaged right away, had an assessment 2 days later and my dog was ready to enrol 2 days after that. Very quick at responding to messages, staff seem kind and helpful. My dog is very nervous & needy but I've seen a good change in him the 2 weeks hes been going. Very nice place, and lots of regular updates which I love to see. Very happy I found paws indoors for my boy.

We have been sending Blu and Bonnie here for a few months now and they absolutely love it! Paws indoors have lots of activities for the dogs throughout the day and we always receive lots of updates and pictures telling us what they have been up too. We never worry when they are there as we know they are in the best hands! Would 100% recommend. They are teaching them how to swim and even had a pool party for the dogs on Friday!

We've been taking our dog Nacho to Paws Indoors for the past month and have been really impressed. He's always genuinely excited to arrive, and comes home completely worn out after a busy day, which is exactly what we were hoping for. The team are friendly, attentive, and clearly care about the dogs – it feels like they actually take the time to get to know each one. Really pleased we found this place and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.
