SmallPaws Pet Hotel staff are truly amazing. Our Cat had her first stay over the weekend, and the service to make us feel good about leaving her, as well as making her feel comfortable was to such a high level that you don’t see very often. Thank you SmallPaws for the experience and we look forward to seeing you again. Read more

Our two fur babies had a holiday at Small Paws this month while we were overseas. We are so happy with our choice. From my first tour to post stay emails. I cannot recommend them highly enough. The staff are all amazing and our boys were treated so so well. We could see in the photos and videos on Facebook that that they were happy to be there. Highly recommend and we will definitely use Small Paws to care for our boys again. Thanks so much again for treating our babies like your own. Read more
