South Paw Pet Resort

Can’t say enough about this kennel. My dog, Wilson, runs to the door to meet Denise, the owner. The facilities are so clean!

There is a reason all the reviews for this place are 5 stars. Clean, well-​kept, spacious, friendly, reasonably priced… If there’s a way I can fit them into our summer travel, I’m doing it. They were worth the extra hour on our drive this year and our dogs love it there. Denise is a total sweetheart and I am so comfortable leaving my furry kids with her. Now if only I could leave the human kids too! (Joking, of course, mostly…)

I needed to board my dog for a 5-​night stay while family (with pet allergies) were visiting, and I’m so thrilled to have found South Paw Pet Resort! Denise was super friendly, seemed to genuinely love the animals in her care, the kennels were clean and there is a big fenced in area they get to play in, rather than a small run like some kennels offer. We went with the extra 20 minute walk/​day for our dog, and she even sent us a picture of him playing around in the pond! He came home exhausted and looking as healthy and happy as ever. I would recommend this place to any animal lover!

We had a fantastic experience at South Paw Pet Resort! We were traveling from Boston with our two pit bulls. We were worried about finding a place that would be pittie-​friendly and friends of ours recommended South Paw. To make it even more interesting, one of our pitties was also recovering from surgery so he needed to be in a place where he would have ample time to relax and still remain with his energetic sister. We decided to bring the dogs with us to Salisbury in case anything happened to our post-​op dog that needed immediate care.
South Paw was able to exceed our expectations!
The facility is white-​glove clean and spacious. There was ample room for the dogs to play outside and their indoor kennel was big enough for the two of them to stretch out. We were able to bring their favorite blankets and their favorite toys to keep them occupied. I portioned out all their food and even included a bag of treats.
One of the owners, Denise, is such a kind-​hearted woman that truly loves all animals. She addressed each of my dogs by their name. She was out in the yard playing with them and giving them lots of love. As a bonus, she even sent me pictures during their stay of them having fun playing in the yard. We joked that the two «city pitties» had never seen so much green space (which was rather true).
Drop-​off and pick-​up is all done by appointment which is convenient for travelers. When we picked the dogs up, they really didn’t want to leave because they were spoiled with attention and so much room to play. The dogs were so tired from playing, they practically slept the entire ride up the I-​95 corridor.
The quality, care, and peace-​of-​mind is exceptional. The prices are reasonable. We will most likely be back for when we need to board our dogs when traveling to Salisbury.

We were leaving our pet who we recently rescued from a shelter behind for the first time so we were very anxious. Our pet is shy and has anxiety around new people dogs etc as expected. Denise and Danielle were very accommodating of our pets needs and got her out of her shyness. We looked at several places in the area, noticed this place was cleanest and offered best service. We found the updates regarding our Bella very reassuring and we were able to relax and enjoy our vacation. We also greatly appreciated their willingness to take our texts messages with questions. We definitely will be using them for our Bella while we travel and will also try daycare services.

I was employed here while in school, and it was one of my favorite places i have ever worked. The owners are the most genuine, gracious people and absolutely love pets and treat them like their own dogs. They are also VERY cautious in hiring people to be spending time at the resort because it is located on their own property. The facility is cleaned multiple times a day and they really encourage quality play time for all the dogs. If I ever need to, I am absolutely boarding my pups here!

This is such a wonderful place. My dogs were well taken care of and happy. It’s super clean. I felt totally comfortable leaving my precious babies there for the weekend. The price is great also! I will definitely use them every time I go to ocean city from now on. They even sent me picture updates via text !!! Love this place!
