Paws 'n' Rec - St. Pete

My husband searched pet boarding services and discovered Paws 'n' Rec as a "membership club", new to St. Petersburg, already available in Tampa. Well, we had to check them out! And we were so impressed! We have loving, frolicking, welcoming Basset Hounds Ogden (2 yrs old, brown and white) and Molly (9.5 yrs old, white, brown and black) who are inseparable, each of course with their own personality! After a full day of evaluation, our Royals (crowned King and Queen of the 2025 Suncoast Basset Rescue Fund Raiser) were accepted for membership into their first club!!! Each staff member is so helpful and pet-loving. Their facilities are spacious, clean, safe for indoor and outdoor care, feeding, bathing, recreation and play. If there was one thing that I would add as needed, it's space! Once more people discover them, they are going to need more facilities! We are already recommending them to our friends who have furry, wagging, family members. Thank you to Cori and Nicole, our first points of welcome! You all are Gold Star! Pat and Chris, Royals Ogden and Molly.

Mocha got treated better than me when I went for my MRI at St Pete MRI . Great job guys exactly what I wanted in a friendly helpful professional manner. I highly recommend and we will be back. Mocha definitely is a chick magnet 🧲 now lol.

My 6 year old Yorkiepoo loves boarding at Paws N Rec. This is her second time here and she did great. I love the report cards so I can see how her day went. We have already booked her next stay!

Took my 14 year old lab, Bo, for his first ever day of daycare. Due to his age, and his hip dysplasia, I was very nervous to leave him for a full day of being around much younger and more active dogs. I had no reason to worry. I was sent photos of him playing and received a phone call mid day from a staff member who gave me a report of how Bo was doing. He had the best day ever! Came home and crashed from exhaustion. The entire staff was great. When I brought Bo in Cory gave me a tour of the facility and it was spottless!! I'd highly recommend Paws n Rec!

Paws n Rec – St. Pete is the BEST! Our Great Dane puppy, Snoop, runs in every time, tail wagging, ready to play with his fur-friends and see the AWESOME staff. The facility is gorgeous and perfect for big dogs and small dogs, plus they offer grooming—so he comes home clean, smelling great, and with trimmed nails. We feel 100% confident leaving him there, whether it’s for play, pampering, or boarding. Lifelong members here—we LOVE it!
