History
Established in 2023.
Paws & Applause began from a deep love for animals and a desire to give them the best care possible. It all started with Raina, a beloved dog whose companionship inspired a lifelong commitment to helping pets and their families. What began as a way to help friends and neighbors with dog walking, pet sitting, and senior dog care quickly grew into a trusted, professional service. We saw a need for reliable, personalized care where every pet is treated like family—never just a number. Our mission has always been simple: provide love, structure, and attention that keeps pets happy and owners worry-free. From walks and playtime to administering medication and special needs care, we tailor every service to each animal’s personality and routine. Today, Paws & Applause continues to honor Raina’s legacy by delivering compassionate, dependable care and building lasting relationships with both pets and their people.
