We came for two night and needed a place for our sweet little Aussie so we could enjoy universal studios. Mary was so incredibly helpful and we knew after chatting with her our pup would be well loved. Drop off was easy, we had the ability to watch him on the live cam, and see how he was doing. We picked him up and he was so excited to see us but was tired so we knew he was played out. What a relief . I would recommend this place to anyone who needs a place for their pup to go. Best place ever!!

Joyful Paw has been absolutely wonderful for my dog, Zeus. I take him there for daycare while I’m working, and he’s always so excited to arrive — jumping out of the car ready to have the best day. The staff is amazing and truly cares about your pet. They’ve helped Zeus work through some big milestones, and it’s been great to see how much he’s grown and thrived because of their care and attention. I also love the fun events they host and always look forward to Zeus’s report card and photos — it’s such a great touch and really shows how much effort they put into what they do. Thank you to the Joyful Paw staff for everything you do for Zeus and all the other animals. Best team ever!

My large dog is not a fan of other pooches and can get nervous, so when I have to go out of town I always book him at Joyful Paws Hotel in one of their private suites. He was at animal control for a long time before we adopted him, & I believe he has some trauma history, but Joyful Paws is the most relaxed I've seen him (well, as "relaxed" as he gets in this type of situation). I love the very large space of their facility, the many staff on duty at all times, their caring, and just the obvious dog knowledge and know-how when it comes to handling/interacting with them. Not every dog is a fluffy, friendly, cuddle bomb - most dogs are complex and come with their own unique personalities & baggage. Just like humans. And Joyful Paws knows this and can adapt, handle, & control while letting the pet know they are safe and in good hands (which in turn reassures us pet parents). I know he is well cared for & loved while being boarded. I know he will be secure & have active time and rest. They really do get it here at Joyful Paws. I had to take him somewhere else one time as it was last minute and Joyful Paws was all booked for private suites, which was quite traumatic for my doggo. The accommodations and caretaking just were not the same. He came home a nervous wreck w/a raw spot on his nose from rubbing it against the door, as well as digestive issues. This has never happened at Joyful Paws, so one more bit of proof that they are definitely the right choice for pet boarding.

I called to make a grooming appointment and when I got there at set date they would not take my senior dog. They proceeded to say that I needed to setup his online profile and take his current vaccines. Which is fine if they had informed me before driving all the way there and them not accepting my senior baby.
