Paws ‘n' Rec: Where Dogs Chase Their Dreams… Not Their Tails!

The Award-Winning Home Away From Home Where Pups Get Dropped Off Happy and Picked Up Even Happier.

From the second your pup bounds through our doors to the moment they come home (happily wiped out), your dog is loved, doted on, and treated like the family member they absolutely are. Paws ‘n’ Rec is the ulti-mutt destination for doggy daycare, boarding, grooming, training, and spa services across the US.

Busy Days. Happy Tails.

Tired-in-the-Best-Way Dogs.

Your dog doesn’t understand what a Zoom call is, where you go while you’re at work, or why you left on vacation for a week. They just want to be loved, played with, and treated like the very good boy (or girl) they are. That’s exactly why we created Paws ‘n’ Rec: to be a place where your pup’s day is just as full as yours.

About US

Why Paws ‘N’ Rec?

At Paws ‘n’ Rec, your pet’s day is packed with friends, fresh air, and the kind of tail-wagging fun that sends them home satisfied, tuckered out, and excited to see their human at pick-up time.

From cycled group play organized by size and temperament, to spa days that’ll have them cuddle-ready by the time they go home, every single day at Paws ‘n’ Rec is designed to give your dog the enrichment they need and the adventure they deserve.

And while your pup’s living their best life? You get the peace of mind that comes from knowing they’re being cared for by a team of certified and genuinely animal-obsessed humans who know your dog’s name, their quirks, and exactly how they like to play.

Cat Boarding

We’re Cat People Too.

Membership Pays Off

More Perks. Less Stress.
Very Waggy Tails.

Paws ‘n’ Rec is for the pet parent who researches, asks questions, and reads reviews twice because settling for “good enough” when it comes to their pet just doesn’t cut it. That’s why we’re a membership-only facility. This means every dog or cat who walks through our doors is a familiar face with a team that already knows them, loves them, and is ready for them. It’s how we maintain the staff-to-dog ratios, the personalized care, and the community feel that our pet parents rave about.

The Paws ‘N’ Rec Difference

Our staff doesn’t just remember faces; we remember personalities, quirks, and exactly what each pup needs to thrive each day.

Play groups are matched by size, temperament, and play style. This is the kind of structured activity vets recommend, so your dog gets the right amount of activity, rest, and stimulation every single day. 

Because the only thing better than picking up a happy dog is getting a cute photo of them mid-zoomie while you’re still at work.

Every member of our team is trained and certified, because knowing what to do in an emergency matters.

More eyes on the pups, always. You’ll never have to wonder if your dog is ok.

You’re trusting us with your family. We take that seriously, and we have the credentials to back it up.

Hot Tampa summer? Stormy Arkansas morning? We adjust activity times to keep tails wagging safely all year long.

Our membership model isn’t just about perks (although there are plenty of those). It means your dog has a consistent community, a routine they love, and a team that treats them like family.

Our custom-fabricated, USA-made accommodations were designed with one thing in mind: your pet’s comfort, safety, and satisfaction. Our premium amenities – like our spacious indoor and outdoor playgrounds – keep pets engaged, active, and genuinely thriving. 

We don’t just care about dogs at Paws ‘n’ Rec. We offer premier feline boarding services at select Paws ‘n’ Rec locations.

We have been taking our dogs Niko and Bella to Paws and Rec for more than 5 years and they both love it. I feel my furbabies are safe in their care. Each of them have different personalities and needs but both of them are excited to be there. Highly recommended

We love Paws ‘n’ rec so much and so does our cockapoo! We recently moved to Tampa and were a little overwhelmed thinking about where our dog would stay when we traveled. A friend recommended paws and we immediately fell in love with the staff and everything this place has to offer! We love all the picture updates they post and the “add-ons” you can get your pet. We feel so at ease when we leave our dog here! Best place for day care and boarding in Tampa!

I have nothing but GRATITUDE for every staff member at the Lemon location. They are the best and most caring staff for my dog (amongst the others in the pack). What started off as a place to get my little dude socialized turned into a place I feel comfortable and peace of mind dropping him off for the day while I’m working long hours. By far above and beyond what you could expect out of a doggy daycare! Thanks Lemon crew for always loving on the dogs! 💕

I am forever grateful for Paws & Rec (go team purple!). Charlie has the absolute best time when he’s there and they’re always super accommodating and responsive. It’s clear they all really love these guys and gals. Thank you! 🐕❤️

Play far the best daycare I've ever come across for my little furry furever friends. As someone that works in healthcare the hours are second to none when it comes to availability for people that work long shifts, swing shifts etc. The staff super friendly, everyone's so nice, love the photos of my dog doing fun things with a big smile on her face. The value you get is beyond anything I've ever found anywhere. So much so, it makes me think about asking if I could franchise one myself in a different part of the country because of the value I can see in it to people like myself and others. And of course when she gets back from daycare she is sold out which means she had a ton of fun!
