Paws 'n' Rec - St. Pete

We had a great experience for our new rescue dog’s first haircut!! He was very calm and happy when we picked him up and he looks exactly how we asked/wanted. We are thrilled with how it turned out, doesn’t look choppy at all, feels super smooth and smells great. Krizia did a great job, we will definitely be back.

My husband searched pet boarding services and discovered Paws 'n' Rec as a "membership club", new to St. Petersburg, already available in Tampa. Well, we had to check them out! And we were so impressed! We have loving, frolicking, welcoming Basset Hounds Ogden (2 yrs old, brown and white) and Molly (9.5 yrs old, white, brown and black) who are inseparable, each of course with their own personality! After a full day of evaluation, our Royals (crowned King and Queen of the 2025 Suncoast Basset Rescue Fund Raiser) were accepted for membership into their first club!!! Each staff member is so helpful and pet-loving. Their facilities are spacious, clean, safe for indoor and outdoor care, feeding, bathing, recreation and play. If there was one thing that I would add as needed, it's space! Once more people discover them, they are going to need more facilities! We are already recommending them to our friends who have furry, wagging, family members. Thank you to Cori and Nicole, our first points of welcome! You all are Gold Star! Pat and Chris, Royals Ogden and Molly.

Paws n Rec – St. Pete is the BEST! Our Great Dane puppy, Snoop, runs in every time, tail wagging, ready to play with his fur-friends and see the AWESOME staff. The facility is gorgeous and perfect for big dogs and small dogs, plus they offer grooming—so he comes home clean, smelling great, and with trimmed nails. We feel 100% confident leaving him there, whether it’s for play, pampering, or boarding. Lifelong members here—we LOVE it!

Mocha got treated better than me when I went for my MRI at St Pete MRI . Great job guys exactly what I wanted in a friendly helpful professional manner. I highly recommend and we will be back. Mocha definitely is a chick magnet 🧲 now lol.

We only had our evaluation day and we already love Paws n’ Rec! The team made us feel so comfortable about the introductory process, and were beyond welcoming. It was our girls’ first time EVER at a day camp and the photos of their ear-to-ear smiles on their daily report card showed us they had the time of their lives! We are so excited to be new members!

Constant professionalism and expertise in making both the daycare and boarding experience the best available makes my life worry-free. When my baby is in their care, I am free to work, rehearse, and perform without the stress of concern.

Kirsten was awesome! From drop off to pick-up, she was very friendly and engaging, and made the process very smooth. This is our first time doing doggy day care/boarding and the place is top-notch! Our dog loved it and we will definitely be back again!
