From the moment your pup arrives, our team focuses on creating a positive experience that fits their personality, comfort level, and care needs.

Facility & Play Yards

Our ranch-style campus offers plenty of outdoor space, including individual yards connected to our boarding accommodations. Dogs can enjoy fresh air and activity while still having comfortable spaces to rest and recharge.

A Day at the Ranch

Every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. That’s why we take the time to understand each pup’s needs and provide care that works for them.

A typical day may include outdoor time, supervised activities, socialization opportunities, meals, rest periods, and one-on-one attention from our team. Our goal is to create a balanced experience where dogs can enjoy their time while still having opportunities to relax.

Safety & Personalized Care

Your dog’s comfort and well-being are always our priority. Our team takes the time to learn each guest’s temperament, habits, and needs so we can provide a safe, positive experience during their visit.

For daycare guests, our evaluation process helps us understand each dog before they join group activities. This allows our team to create a better fit for your pup and a more comfortable environment for all dogs at the Ranch.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have been taking our dogs Niko and Bella to Paws and Rec for more than 5 years and they both love it. I feel my furbabies are safe in their care. Each of them have different personalities and needs but both of them are excited to be there. Highly recommended

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We love Paws ‘n’ rec so much and so does our cockapoo! We recently moved to Tampa and were a little overwhelmed thinking about where our dog would stay when we traveled. A friend recommended paws and we immediately fell in love with the staff and everything this place has to offer! We love all the picture updates they post and the “add-ons” you can get your pet. We feel so at ease when we leave our dog here! Best place for day care and boarding in Tampa!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have nothing but GRATITUDE for every staff member at the Lemon location. They are the best and most caring staff for my dog (amongst the others in the pack). What started off as a place to get my little dude socialized turned into a place I feel comfortable and peace of mind dropping him off for the day while I’m working long hours. By far above and beyond what you could expect out of a doggy daycare! Thanks Lemon crew for always loving on the dogs! 💕

Charlie has the absolute best time when he’s there and they’re always super accommodating and responsive. It’s clear they all really love these guys and gals. Thank you! 🐕❤️

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Play far the best daycare I've ever come across for my little furry furever friends. As someone that works in healthcare the hours are second to none when it comes to availability for people that work long shifts, swing shifts etc. The staff super friendly, everyone's so nice, love the photos of my dog doing fun things with a big smile on her face. The value you get is beyond anything I've ever found anywhere. So much so, it makes me think about asking if I could franchise one myself in a different part of the country because of the value I can see in it to people like myself and others. And of course when she gets back from daycare she is sold out which means she had a ton of fun!
