A school day for the ones who can’t tell you they miss you.
Paws & Chows is premium pet boarding built for working parents whose dogs and cats are their kids. Drop them off in the morning, pick them up in the evening — like school, but with more napping and fewer homework arguments.
You didn’t say no to a dog. You said no to leaving one home alone.
A lot of working parents want a dog or cat and never get one — not because they don’t want the responsibility, but because a nine-to-ten hour workday with no one home feels unfair to the animal. The daycare options that exist are built for volume: forty, sixty, a hundred dogs a day, run more like a kennel than a place you’d actually trust with your kid.
Paws & Chows starts small on purpose. We built the kind of place we’d want for our own — a place that feels less like storage and more like school.
Class size: 10. Not 100.
Every dog at Paws & Chows has a cubby, a name tag, and a caretaker who knows their routine. We’re not expanding the class size to fit demand — we’re opening a second class when we do.
What a day at Paws & Chows looks like
Built around a working parent’s actual schedule, not the other way around.
Boarding is the start, not the whole plan
Each phase only opens once the one before it is running well — we’d rather do five things properly, in order, than launch all five badly at once.
Premium boarding
10-dog capacity, full-day care with a caretaker-first ratio.
Pickup & drop-off van
A dedicated van service that collects pets from home each morning and returns them each evening — no more juggling your own commute around theirs.
Grooming & medication
In-house grooming and routine medication administration, folded into the boarding day itself.
Food, supplies & goodies
Everyday food, clothes, and treats — so the same place that cares for your pet can also supply for them.
Franchising
Once the model is proven at one location, we open it up for others to run the same standard elsewhere.
“We started Paws & Chows because we kept meeting people who wanted a dog and talked themselves out of it — not out of love, but out of logistics. If the only thing standing between someone and a dog is ‘who watches them at 9 AM,’ that’s a problem worth solving properly.”
