Testimonials

“Louisa is amazing with my dog, Neka. She is gentle and effective with her and sets high behavior expectations. Neka comes home calm and happy from a stay there. The kennel is clean and comfortable, Louisa provides the comforts of home with affection thrown in as well.  I also love the wide open indoor and outdoor exercise areas. My dog gets outstanding care and entertainment with Louisa.”

“Louisa has such a love for the dogs she takes care of! It’s evident in our dog’s response to her. When we’ve taken our dog to other boarders, he whines for at least a few miles before arriving at the boarders. Not so with Louisa. He jumps right out and allows her to take him into the wonderful facility she provides.

Speaking of the facilities, it’s out in the country not too far off of Hwy 12, there is a wonderful shaded fenced in area for the dogs to play, a separate dog run, and when the weather is bad, there is a humongous room filled with different obstacles and toys to keep the dogs exercised and happy. Her prices are appropriate for the amenities.

What we really appreciate is Louisa’s flexibility in dropping off and picking up of dogs. She will work with us to find times that work for us. We travel for family functions often, and the traffic on the interstate often delays us, sometimes by a couple of hours, during the summer. We plan to continue to board our dog with Louisa whenever the need arises.”

“I’m a very particular pet owner, and Petite Paws is a great place for dogs. They have plenty of space to run, they can stay in the roomy kennels, and get lots of snuggle time with Louisa. I know my dogs are safe and comfortable there.”

We wouldn’t take our pups anywhere else! Our 20-mile drive from SW Madison to Louisa’s place, passing several other boarding places, is worth it. Why, because the pups are not going to a kennel, but are going on their own mini-vacation. Louisa’s facilities include a heated indoor play area and large fenced-in run areas outside too. Louisa understands dogs, has done training, and is attentive to the interaction of the dogs with each other. Louisa is passionate about her business and treats our pups as if they are her own which is very important to us. The attention she gives to her ‘guests’ goes far beyond feeding them and letting them out to do their business. We highly recommend Louisa, based on our several years of experience in taking our ‘little ones’ there!”
