Loved by their humans

Why Pet Parents Love Us

Ivory's Family, happy guest

"We've used several day cares for our girl chihuahua here in Jacksonville but Happy Little Paws is by far one of the best! Laura and her husband Milton are so attentive and loving to my dog and they treat her like their own when she is under their care. We get pictures throughout the stay and they sometimes do fun activities with her. They also do a pick up service which we used in the past and it is so convenient for our busy schedule. They accommodate as much as they can and they are so easy to work with. Great people, great service and the best for my dog. We highly recommend their service when you need care for your fur baby in the future."

Oso's Family, happy guest

"You will love leaving your fur baby with Laura! She is the best. Along with her husband, they provide all the care and VIP attention your pup deserves. Leaving them at big pet stores can be very stressful, but with Laura that's never the case. My dog Oso absolutely loves being with her, and when I come back from trips, he actually misses her! A+++"

Remi's Family, happy guest

"Laura is absolutely amazing! Remi adores her and is always excited to come over to her house! Remi is so tuckered out with all that play time. Thank You Laura for taking care of my precious baby"

Lily's Family, happy guest

"We've trusted Laura with our Mini Goldendoodle, Lily, for services like daycare and boarding. We are extremely pleased with how great she is with our dog. Lily is only 1 year old and has a lot of energy - you know, puppy energy! One of the things we love most about her services is the constant updates she sends through text messages, including pictures and videos. Her prices are reasonable, and the fact that she is bilingual is an added bonus."

Laura's story

Happy Little Paws was created from a genuine love for dogs, inspired by our own fur babies.

We are a loving, home-based dog boarding & day care in Jacksonville, Florida. Offering small-group boutique care in a safe, cozy, cage-free environment.

We believe every pup deserves personalized attention, daily updates, playtime, cuddles, and lots of love — just like home.

At Happy Little Paws, every pup becomes part of our family, and our goal is simple: to make them feel safe, loved and right at home.
