Safe & Comfortable Environment

Nestled in the heart of Virginia, our state-of-the-art 1,600-square-foot pet boarding facility sets a new standard for pet care excellence. Our climate-controlled environment features a cutting-edge Lennox Merit series heat pump system, ensuring your furry friend stays comfortable year-round. Security is paramount at Happy Paws, with 6-foot high escape-proof fencing and 24/7 on-site supervision. We’ve thought of everything – from dig guards at the fence bottom to specialized corner panels that prevent even the craftiest climbers from making an escape attempt.

Experienced & Caring Staff

Our journey began with a deep love for animals, nurtured on a small Virginia farm. Today, that same passion drives our dedicated team to provide exceptional pet care services. Living on-site, our owner ensures round-the-clock attention for your beloved pets, combining professional expertise with genuine affection for every tail-wagging guest. Our staff members are trained in pet first aid and understand the subtle nuances of dog behavior, ensuring your pet receives the highest standard of care.

Personalized Care & Professional Evaluation

Before joining our Happy Paws family, each dog undergoes a thorough 30-minute evaluation to ensure they’ll thrive in our environment. This crucial step helps us understand their personality, assess their temperament, and determine the best play groups for their social interactions. We carefully observe how they interact with other dogs and respond to various situations, ensuring a safe and harmonious environment for all our guests.

Whether your pup is a social butterfly or prefers solo adventures, our pet care services adapt to their unique personality. We create personalized daily routines that match their energy levels and social preferences, from structured group activities to peaceful solo time. This individualized approach ensures every pet feels comfortable and content during their stay.

What Sets Us Apart

Unmatched Year-Round Comfort with Advanced Climate Control

As one of the few pet boarding facilities in the Harrisonburg and Keezletown area with comprehensive climate control, we provide your pets with year-round comfort regardless of Virginia's weather extremes. Our custom-designed Lennox Merit series heat pump system, featuring a Dave Lennox Signature Collection variable speed blower coil unit, maintains perfect temperatures throughout our facility - a crucial feature that many local kennels don't offer.

Personalized, Boutique-Style Attention for Every Pet

Our relatively small facility size is intentional, allowing us to provide the personalized attention that larger boarding kennels often can't match. With the owner living on-site and our dedicated staff focused on individual care, we ensure each pet receives the kind of attention they deserve. This intimate setting, combined with our state-of-the-art amenities, creates an unparalleled pet boarding experience that truly sets Happy Paws Pet Resort apart from the competition.

Spacious Play Yards Designed for Tail-Wagging Fun and Adventure

Your dog's playtime experience is enhanced by our two specially designed play yards. Our premier yard features 1,800 square feet of premium K9 kennel turf - a state-of-the-art surface that keeps your pup clean and comfortable while they play. Dogs also love exploring our expansive 2,000-square-foot natural play space, featuring a stimulating mix of stone and grass areas. We carefully schedule both active play periods and essential quiet times in these versatile spaces to ensure your dog has the perfect blend of exercise and relaxation.

Freedom and Stability: Innovative Saloon-Style Dog Doors

Our commitment to excellence extends beyond temperature control. Unlike typical boarding facilities, we've implemented an innovative saloon-style dog door system in our Paradise Palace suites. These whisper-quiet, commercial-grade doors allow pets to freely access their private outdoor areas while preventing temperature fluctuations inside - a sophisticated solution that traditional guillotine-style doors can't match.
