Our dogs, Cooper and Keeley, love going to Mindful Paws Daycare. When we arrive at Mindful Paws, they can’t wait to get out of the car. They greet the owners with such enthusiasm. The owners take the time to get to know your dog. They are so kind and caring of all the dogs. At the end of the day, we get an email with photos from the day. There are a couple of outside areas for the dogs to run and play, a big inside playroom, and indoor cubbies containing a cot for each dog to use during rest time. It's an outstanding facility! The ease of use of their website makes it a snap to book days, send messages, and see the wonderful photos. Everything is very professional! The dogs have fun and come home ready to relax.

My dog has been to 2 day care sessions and we will definitely be back. When we started to pull up the driveway on her second visit, she immediately recognized where she was and got excited. Alex and Liz are nice, great at communicating, and have a beautiful, safe, and clean property for dogs. They have also answered all of my questions thoroughly and in a timely manner.I love that there are multiple fenced yards for the dogs to play in. I love that it’s a limited number of dogs in each play group so the dogs aren’t overcrowded or over stimulated. I love that each dog gets a private area of their own for breaks in between play for rest.I look forward to the updates and photos from the end of each session. They make my day!

Like many people, we got a puppy in 2020 during the time most everyone was working from home. When it was time to go back to work we knew we needed an option for our now 95lb hound to run, socialize with other dogs and ultimately learn to be confident with more than just our family.Mindful Paws is just what we needed. They are thoughtful, kind, in tune to the dogs and take care of Jerry like he is one of their own. He gets so excited once he realizes where we are going 😂. Love that they have two huge outdoor fenced yards, the indoor play room, schedule rest breaks during the day and even offer nail trims. Thanks Mindful Paws!

The cool thing is that every time he goes Liz and Alex send pictures of him and his pals. He always has a smile on his face. I would highly recommend Mindful Paw dog daycare. your dog will love it .

I brought my 8 month old lab puppy to Mindful Paws to give him the opportunity to socialize with other dogs, and, hopefully, use up some of his energy. He had a bad experience with a larger dog as a puppy and was very timid around other dogs. They were great at understanding dog body language and worked with my sweet puppy. He is now much more confident and ready to make friends with the world!!! I highly recommend Mindful Paws for your four-legged family member!

Mindful Paws has quickly become a home-away-from-home for our five year old shepherd. By our third visit, she was so excited when we pulled in and saw the staff. She can get overwhelmed with a lot dogs, and Paws always makes sure she has a small group to play in that's a good fit for her and her energy level. Not to mention it is just a beautiful place, too, and everyone's super friendly, professional, and reliable. Very lucky to have this day-care option in the area!

Our furry friend has been going to Mindful Paws multiple times a week for the past year. Alex and Liz are beyond amazing. They've created a truly warm and loving environment for their guests. Our little guy is never as excited as when we say "are you ready for school?" in the morning. I have been to multiple daycares over the years and Mindful Paws is by far the most responsible and caring of them all.

This was the first time using daycare for my Rottweiler puppy and Mindful Paws is AMAZING! Their hours are perfect for people working out of the area and they send you photos and updates daily. They are a great couple and very nice. Plus my puppy is EXHAUSTED when we get home. Highly recommend

Our dog Harpo absolutely loves going to Mindful Paws! They are so professional and caring. They are always very responsive when I have questions. I also love to see the photos they send of all the dogs playing each day.

I just moved to the area and feel so fortunate that my arrival coincided with the opening of Mindful Paws. I have a very energetic and enthusiastic 1 year old Australian Shephard. I feel comfortable leaving him in the care of this team knowing that he will be able to play in a safe, controlled environment by people who understand dogs and all of the different temperaments and challenges each can present. They start with a meet and greet which was reassuring to me that they would know about any dogs that were reactive and would need special care or wouldn't be a good fit at their facility. They introduce the dogs slowly to make sure they play well together instead of tossing them together and letting the dogs sort it out. They make sure that dogs of similar energy levels and plays styles have the opportunity to play together. They take lots of pictures of their interactions which is fun for me to review. I can already tell which of the dogs are Finnegan's "besties". The location and space is beautiful, both outside and in. They have separate fenced areas outside for different groups, a large playroom inside, and separate "cubbies" with cots for nap/chill time. Overall I know that my guy is in great hands at Mindful Paws, and my post daycare time is my most peaceful and favorite time of the week!

I can’t say enough how wonderful Mindful Paws is!! My puppy loves going to daycare. She comes home happy and tired. Mindful Paws are very thoughtful and caring with my puppy. I highly recommend them.

My dog Rooney loves to go to mindful paws and play with the other dogs. When we pull up in the car, he gets so excited to see Alex and Liz!

As we drove in we were thrilled with the view and the wonderful location. Fresh air, green grass and nice and safe play fields. There is lots of room for the dogs. We brought Charlie to our "meet and greet" with Liz and Shirley. We were very impressed with the facility - its design, the cleanliness, and the overall concept. Of course our 5 month old pup was not on his best behavior but it was clear both women knew what they were doing as Charlie responded to them immediately. What we didn’t realize was how important the time Charlie spends at Mindful Paws is to his growth and socialization. Charlie seems much calmer at home since his weekly visits. It’s easy to go online to their site to book time, communicate with the staff, and see delightful pictures of your dog at play. The only negative thing is when we come to pick up Charlie he doesn’t want to leave.

My retired hunting hound finally learned how to play here. He's developing great social skills and comes home spent and happy.
