Services
What do you have in mind when you think of a typical boarding kennel? Local veterinarians and our clients rave about the quality of our facility and the level of care we provide. Your pet will be completely safe and secure with a clean, comfy place to lodge while staying with us. Pets have their own personal space to rest and stretch out.
The Paws Resort offers doggie day care as an option for our customers who may have commitments that keep them away from home for the day. Why leave your baby home alone? Bring them to play with us! Your dog will spend the day playing with other dogs and we get to play too. All dogs are evaluated for temperament and then paired-up with other dogs similar in size, play style and temperament or with one of our dedicated staff. All play is closely monitored to ensure the safety of all animals. Everyone receives a mid-day snack and also naptime.
We promise your cat will cozy up to The Paws Resort from his or her very first purr! With our comfy multi-level cat quarters, your kitty will have plenty to keep them entertained, including climbing platforms, window seats and toys galore. To ensure a wonderful vacation for your pet, we constantly check all kitty quarters for cleanliness and to monitor each guest's mood, health, and comfort level. Though kitties might seem pretty independent, we know they need just as much love as dogs do at their home away from home.

The staff are very polite and eager to meet your animal needs. They are very patient and compassionate with the animals. I know firsthand why it is named " The Paws Resort".

I'm giving 3 stars because we dropped off 3 large dogs and we know that can be a lot to handle. One of our dogs has anxiety, which was mentioned during the time I scheduled their reservations for their stay. I gave the "resort" just enough anxiety medication for my dog to have during his week stay. When we picked our pups up, his medication bottle was COMPLETELY empty and he was incredibly drugged up.

I also gave the "resort" the correct amount of GrassSaver treats and Dentastix, WITH INSTRUCTIONS on how many to give each dog and how often a day, and our bag came back FULL OF TREATS. The "resort" didn't give our dogs a single treat. They just decided to drug our dogs. They never mentioned to us at pick up how our pups did or anything. I even gave them their toys so they don't get bored and it didn't seem like our pups played with them because there were ZERO teeth marks in their brand new toys.

Although there were SO MANY things that went wrong, even with given specific instructions, the people who worked there did help us bring our dogs to the car. Before anyone says anything about "did they know about all of the treats and toys?" YES! I witnessed the receptionist write down the specific instructions and I wrote them down myself. And YES I double checked with the receptionist about my dog having anxiety. We're not even positive if our pups were even given time to play outside or how their behavior was or anything.

The people who worked at this place just cared about leaving for their lunch break. I understand it was almost time for your lunch, and you're probably not getting paid enough for what you're doing, but people's pets are their children. The least you could do was give the parents some kind of update or information and to keep up with specific instructions the parents gave.

And lastly, when I dropped off my dog that has anxiety he was pre-drugged just to be safe. The receptionist said she would hold onto him while I grabbed the other two dogs out from my car. I asked her if she needed me to put a muzzle on him just to be safe and she snarled at me, shook her head vigorously and said "nah, I'll be fine". I looked at her for reassurance and asked one more time and she "yeah, I'll be fine".

I came back with my other two dogs and she was standing there with my anxiety dog, perfectly fine! When my husband picked the dogs up she told him she may need help with the anxiety dog because he snapped at her! Are you kidding me? Needless to say, we will not recommend this location to our pet loving friends and family.

This place is absolutely amazing! The staff is very caring and friendly. They had my furkids for a week and took excellent care of them. They post pictures daily on their Facebook page and allow lots of playtime for your pets. They are worth the drive and I will be using them from now on.

I started bringing my dog here because one of my previous co-workers recommended it to me. It was slightly cheaper than the other places I took her so I thought why not? My past 2 experiences here were ok. The place is pretty run down but for the price, I kinda expected that. However today, when I went to pick my dog up, as I walked up, I started to smell something unpleasant, and when I stepped through the doors, WOOSH. An incredibly PUNGENT feces/urine smell slapped me in the face.

I exclaimed "WHAT IS THAT SMELL" and the receptionists response was "I smell a lot of things". She then said "oh we have a litter of puppies and they poop, then we clean it up, then they poop again". This smell was more than just a little poop. And I would HOPE that of dogs were pooping, they would pick it up immediately. I will NEVER bring my dog here again. Absolutely disgusting. I realize dog places aren't going to smell amazing, but this was absolutely gross. Never again.

I love this place for my baby - English Springer Spaniel. He stayed a week few months back. They took good care of him. Yes, they show pictures on Facebook which is nice. When we picked him up he did not want to "escape" from the place which is a good sign. The staff were friendly. We are taking him there again at the end of July.

Very impressive! It's screams that they love dogs at this place. I called them on the phone before I got there and Harriet was very helpful. She was knowledgeable and very patient with all my questions. I felt comfortable that I was leaving my baby in good hands. When I got there my dog was shaking she was nervous.well one of the employees got down on the floor and welcomed her in.it was heart warming.

Immediately my baby felt at home and went with the worker like they were best friends. While my fur baby vacationed at the resort, she got her hair done and had a pedicure! I highly recommend this day care.they're awesome! I was so impressed. I left there a happy mommy. Thank you Paws Resort!

We board our dogs here whenever we go out of town. My girls love the staff and facility and get all excited as soon as we pull in the parking lot.

I have a particularly finicky dog. He is half King Charles Cavalier and half Pomeranian. I found these folks here on Yelp and I am so glad I did. When I went in to drop him off he went right to her. He is normally like a cranky 2 year old who only wants its mommy. The atmosphere was very welcoming and I quickly felt he was in good hands. The groomer who comes into the resort is very skilled.

My little Orson has not been groomed in a very long time and was beginning to look like Sia. In the picture is before and after. You will notice the definition around his face giving the illusion of defined cheekbones. She went with the high and tight which draws your eye away from his rather portly mid-section. And last but certainly not least his paws. He will not be racing into whoville with a bone in his head not today not ever the groomer has said! Great Job girls!

I wanted so bad to LOVE this place because I had high expectations for it based on all the great reviews but I had an issue with pick up. The issue was such a bummer it ruined my vacation. The same girl (my cousin) who dropped off my dog was NOT allowed to pick her up. 2 days prior to her dropping her off I called to let them know she would be dropping her off and possibly picking her up.

I was told that was fine & that there would be no problem. While I am in the middle of the ocean on a cruise my cousin tells me her sister said she was not able to pick up my dog because they would not release her. Well I wasn't about to spend $2 a minute to call to the US to give the ok for my dog to be released when I had already made that arrangement.

It was very disappointing and it ruined the rest of my vacation. I will not be using this place again. It's an hour away from my house & it was not worth it to me. Hope others have better luck.

Woo Hoo! This is as good as it gets for doggie havens in Georgia. My two pooches love this place and don't care when I leave--they are focused on running back to their kennel to hang with Harriett and her great staff. Highly recommended.

My two Labs have always seemed very Happy and well taken care of! The staff is super friendly and knowledgable. The packages to give your pets extra attention are pretty cool as well! The quality of their food is top notch. Never had an issue with them coming home after! Very pleased and just wish you were closer to me!

Love this place. First place I toured and I loved it. Been using this facility since last November and they take such good care of my dog Jasmine. The accommodations are so spacious. The staff is wonderful and very personable as well. I recommend this place to anybody looking for a great place to board your pet. I never have to worry about my pet while I am away. My dog stayed 10 days and they posted pics of my dog on their Facebook page while I was away.

My fur babies absolutely love playing AND staying here! Our rambunctious puppy comes in about once a week to play with his furry friends and he really looks forward to going every week. Seriously! If it's been more than 6-7 days he will start following me out our door and jumping into my car because he is ready to play! We also board our dogs here as well.

In addition to our larger puppy we have a middle aged small dog and the INDIVIDUAL attention and care our dogs get is great. The puppy gets to play while the older dog gets extra bedding and more snuggle time. The staff is great, very friendly and thorough. They make sure your pet is healthy and up to date on all shots. They have a great thing going. I highly recommend this spot for your fur babies!

The Paws Resort is the only place I take my dog Walter. They work with a local rescue so Walter actually lived there before we adopted him. When we go on vacation, Walter goes on vacation. It's like going back to grandma's for him. The Paws Resort is so friendly and loving. Definitely spring for a package!

My dear beagle is 13 years old. We moved here recently and were SO nervous not having that proverbial word of mouth to rely upon when we needed boarding. I, being the crazy Mom that I am, drove there, scoped it out, and was completely impressed. Drop off was friendly, informative, comforting and well, just all around REAL. The lobby smelled pleasant (and this is a feat, I am sure).

There was no aromatic cover-ups that I detected so - clean is clean. Our spoiled child has been with us since he was 9weeks old so he has had uncountable caregiving instances- I can think of only 2-3 that, upon pickup, it was fraudulent and heartbreaking. All others went quite well, and often as we are travelers. So Paws Resort had their hands full. Well.

We just picked him up (open on Sundays- YES!) and he was/ is SO stupendously happy! I just about melted to the owner who is really really great. As long as we live here, and as long as they keep it up and will have us, he will go nowhere else! This Mama bear says 5 stars with a high 5 to boot;).
