Dog Boarding to Wag About

Great dog boarding is so much more than a place to sleep. It’s true safety, loving attention, comfortable surroundings, and personalized enrichment—and then some. Paws and Play was created in 2011 as a better alternative to the traditional “dog boarding kennel.” We believe dogs deserve to feel as happy, cherished, and entertained while their parents are away as they do when they’re at home. Here’s what every pup can expect from a stay at our Tuckahoe, NY pet resort:
  • Comfortable, private accommodations
  • Raised beds with fluffy bedding
  • Advanced climate control and air purification
  • Daily wellness checks from our certified staff
  • Skylights to bring in plenty of natural sunlight
  • Daily meals served just like home
  • At least three outdoor potty breaks per day
  • Personalized care and service for every guest
  • Luxury suite upgrades are available in our charming, beautifully decorated suites with flatscreen TVs!

Dog Boarding Activity Packages

Fun and enrichment are a big part of what makes our dog boarding so special. As pet parents, we know every dog is unique with their own preferences, needs, and energy levels. We offer a selection of activity packages so you can choose the perfect play routine for your pet’s best dog boarding experience! Here are some of the ways we can enrich your pup’s stay:

Playtime
Between our climate-controlled indoor play zones and spacious outdoor yards lined with premium K9Grass, our guests have tons of space to romp, explore, and just be dogs—under the watchful care of professionals. Social pups love our group play option while pups who prefer human friends enjoy individual play with a caregiver!
Seasonal Fun
In the warmer seasons, our guests love to splash around in the bone-shaped pools, splash pads, sprinklers, and hoses.
Love & Attention
We’ll keep your pup reminded of how adored, special, and absolutely loved he or she is while you’re away. Personal attention, cuddle time, and even bedtime tuck-ins await!
Gourmet Treats
If anyone loves a delicious snack, it’s dogs! We offer yummy treats delivered right to your pup’s room like a five-star hotel.
Puppy Love
Our puppy boarding guests enjoy a special package designed for their unique needs! It includes the extra playtime, interaction, and potty breaks that growing puppies need.
