Small Paws Daycare and Boarding is a husband-and-wife team with over 25 years of combined experience providing loving, attentive care to dogs of all kinds. Operating right from our home in Washington, DC, we offer a safe, supervised environment where your pup is treated like family—not just another number in a large facility.
We specialize in personalized, one-on-one attention tailored to your dog's individual needs. From seniors and short-nosed breeds to dogs with separation anxiety or special care requirements, we have the hands-on experience and compassion to help them feel safe and loved.
Located on a quiet residential street in Hill East, we have a fully fenced backyard for regular bathroom breaks and outdoor time. We only use positive reinforcement techniques and our own two small dogs are always excited to welcome new friends.

"I couldn't be happier with my experience boarding with Chloe! She did a great job keeping me informed of how Penny was doing, communication was easy and quick, and she sent lots of photos showing me how much fun Penny had during her stay!"
"Chloe was so kind and took such good care of Pear! This was Pear's first time without us for an extended period of time, and Chloe made us feel so at ease with all of the regular updates with great pictures showing how much fun Pear was having."
"Chloe is amazing to my baby girl, she loves going there and I feel so comfortable leaving her. She treats my Cocoa like one of her own. She is dependable and trustworthy. I am so glad we found her and her family."
