Kim Gordon: Our 4 month old puppy stayed at Pawradise for 12 nights over December. She had the best time! A lot of play with the other dogs in the garden, walks in the park, afternoon naps and cuddles on the couch. We received plenty of photos and videos on Whatsapp daily. We will definitely be booking Pawradise again.
Graham Light: Dear Ina, I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for the excellent service provided by Pawradise Dog Daycare and Boarding. Your team took wonderful care of our little pet, Tommy, and we truly appreciate the dedicated attention. Thank you for making Tommy's vacation a great one and we will see you again!
Cindy Sarandis: A huge thank you, Ina, for providing our colleague’s thoroughbred pup with a loving home for two months, until she was big enough to travel to her forever home overseas. Pawradise is a truly caring, trusted home-from-home and comes highly recommended for small-breed fur babies. I will recommended you :)
