"Essential Paws is not just doggy daycare…it’s a 5-star adventure-experience for your dog!" - Maria DePietro
A premium daycare experience
Dog Daycare–without the worry.
As pet parents ourselves, we know your dog is more than a pet – they’re family!

Which can make choosing the right daycare for your dog challenging...

Who can you trust to give them the individualized attention they need, when you’re not around? Who’s going to be able to handle all their weird quirks, habits, and mischievous behavior?

At Essential Paws, we understand what dog owner's want, and we take the time to curate a comfortable experience tailored to your dog's specific needs and personality.

This is the reason we’ve won awards like “Best of the Best” Community Choice Awards and earned over 150+ 5-star reviews on Google, since opening in 2017.
