On-Site Supervision
Est. 2021It all started when Ethan and Elisa couldn't find a boarding facility that met their standards for their own dogs. Every place they visited felt cold, industrial, and nothing like home.
We kept asking ourselves — why do dogs have to be caged? Why can't they have the same comfort, freedom, and love they experience at home?
So they created Pawmenities: a revolutionary approach to pet care that feels less like a facility and more like your dog's second home. No cages. No kennels. Just love, play, and personalized attention around the clock.
We didn't want to build a better kennel. We wanted to make the kennel obsolete. Dogs deserve freedom, comfort, and friends — the cages had to go.
See why pet parents are switching from traditional boarding to our boutique experience.
