Our Story

Born From Love, Built on Trust

It 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?"

EV
Elisa VossCo-Founder

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."
