5-Star Review - Outstanding Care for My Boys! I recently trusted Muddy Paws to care for my two dogs, Prince and King, while I was away on a cruise -- and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, the staff was professional, attentive, and genuinely caring. Both Prince and King were treated like family. I received updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing they were safe, comfortable, and well-loved. When I picked them up, they were happy, healthy, and clearly enjoyed their time there. It's not easy leaving your pets behind, but Muddy Paws made the entire process stress-free. Their facility is clean, organized, and run by people who truly love what they do. If you're looking for a trustworthy, dependable place to board your pets, Muddy Paws is absolutely the best. Prince, King, and I are officially loyal customers! -- John read more

The owner of Muddy Paws is extremely unprofessional and does not know how to communicate with customers. Even worse, I witnessed her mistreating the animals in her care. I had a grooming appointment for my Rottweiler, and as soon as we arrived, she took him to the back. I immediately noticed she was choking him with the grooming rope. I told her, "You're choking him," and she responded, "I know." At that point, I demanded she bring my dog back. If this is how she behaves in front of an owner, I can only imagine what happens when pets are out of sight. I will not be returning, and I would warn other pet parents to be cautious. read more

Would not leave our pet with anyone else! We left our precious female dogs with Muddy Paws several times. Now we only have one dog, they are very professional and I feel that our dog really love going here! Prices are great, also! read more

Took my dog there for a 1 day boarding and grooming. Won't be back. It's dilapidated and not very clean. Also, I don't trust the groomer.

Very friendly staff. They offered a tour of the facility, which helped put me at ease since it was the puppies first time being boarded. Reasonably priced, especially for 2 small dogs. Facility is not fancy but you can deny the cleanliness and functionality. read more

I would not recommend boarding your dog here and I would not board my dog there again. The facility is certainly functional however cleanliness comes into question. It is definitely cheap and in this case, you get what you pay for. read more

I love Muddy Paws! My baby Prince, an 80 pound Japanese Akita, went there for the first time. We had a bad experience elsewhere and were desperate but intent on finding a great dependable staycation for him. Muddy Paws was / is the place. I love that he can play outside if he wants then come under cover when he wants! We've found our new home away from home. spoiled at home and away! read more

We had a great experience at Muddy Paws. We boarded our chihuahua for one week while on travel and he came back clean, energetic and happy. I am always ambivalent about boarding him because of horrible previous experiences at other boarders; Great place with caring staff! read more

I use to bring my dog here before he sadly passed away. This business is great, they took such good care of my dog for about 13 years. My dog would stay for a couple of days and receive grooming all for a good price. My family loves the owners and they know all the regulars by name and will definitely do an amazing job taking care of your dog. Plus I use to work here as a summer job. I see first hand how they take care of the dogs and it is a amazing how the family runs the place. Support this business I promise you will not be disappointed. To the owners thank you for all the great years. read more

OK not the Hilton for dogs, but you can't beat the price. I have left my dog there numerous times over the past six months. They staff is great and the price is right. Recommended. read more

My husband and I have used Muddy Paws on at least 5 occasions this year and I been very pleased with their service. Our cane corso has always been well cared for and returned to us clean (they offer grooming) with no health issues. As another reviewer stated, it's not a 4 star hotel for dogs. If you are looking for a place with bells and whistles (tvs, couches, etc.), this is not it. However, if you want a safe, reasonably priced place for your furry family member that will leave you worry-free while you are out, then this is it. read more

We have used Muddy Paws for years. They know our names without even telling them, they remember little things my dog likes/dislikes, and their prices are the lowest by far. My dog actually gets excited to get here once we pull up. They are starting to run specials where you earn a night's stay if you board a certain number of days, etc. I am very pleased and I highly recommend. read more

I love this place, I have a big dog (Lab) and he needs room to move around. I love the fact he can go outside all day and potty outsides as well. read more

My wife and I have used Muddy Paws for about 7 years now. If you need a professionally run, reasonable price, outstandingly staffed boarding Kennel, your search is over. Excellent care everytime. I'd have given them 5 stars if they were free! Great staff, great care, great place! read more

I love taking our dog yuki there. She's a 120 pound Alaskan Malamute and they always take great care of her. We've been taking her there for about 4 years and haven't had an issue. The owner, Paula, is incredibly friendly. She's taken us many times on a last minutes notice. They also do military discount! Highly recommend Muddy Paws read more

The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. The groomer does the best job I've seen and one of our dogs is a cocker, the other is a schnauzer. Our old man dog had surgery on his neck and everyone at Muddy Paws, including the groomer, works with him to ensure that his safety comes first. Other than a family member, we don't trust our dogs with anyone else, not even the kennel at our vet's office. read more

I'm sure this is a good place for dogs, but I can't recommend it for cats. When I arrived at Andrews AFB and needed to board my cat for 11 days, I chose Muddy Paws based on good reviews, price and location. But when I brought my cat in, there was a lot of dog noise and smell, and they said they couldn't show me the cat area because it was being worked on. I left her with them anyway, but then stopped by another place (Axiom Pet Resort) that was much quieter and nicer (cats in separate bldg). Went back to Muddy Paws right away to move my cat (and told them why), and they charged me $10 saying "cat litter and food aren't free" - agreed, but how much could she have used in 40 minutes. read more

Had a very disturbing experience with the owner at Muddy Paws regarding the timeliness of our notifying the kennel that our bulldog puppy was returned to us with a limp (noticed when my husband got him home, called maybe 4 hours later after I got home - after they were closed). During my first interaction with the owner, he was rude, questioned the amount of time that it took us to call the kennel, and informed me that he would cover our vet bill, but "every other kennel in the area would hear about it." When I tried to explain that I was submitting the vet bill based on my conversation with his wife, he insisted he "didn't need the irritation" and stormed off. As a first time user of his business, I was appalled at the lack of professionalism, even after I said we didn't need to be reimbursed if he had concerns (which was the first time I knew about them). We are frequent travelers and would have used Muddy Paws again in the future, but now I have to caution people against the business - not for the quality of their service, but for the questionable behavior of the management. read more
