Doggone it - Paws and Play

06/15/2026

If you’ve noticed I’ve been a little quiet on here lately, it’s because the dogs and yes, the cats have been keeping me busy. 🐶🐱💕
Add in a fish, a desert tortoise, and suddenly I’m one goat away from opening a petting zoo. 😂

We’ve actually been booked up for the last four months, and between belly rubs, backyard adventures, couch cuddles, and photo updates, social media has taken a bit of a back seat.

Sometimes the best reviews aren’t reviews at all. They’re notes and messages from pet parents who trust me with their babies.

Just wanted to share a couple messages that absolutely made my day and remind me why I love what I do. Thank you for trusting me with your pets, it means more than you know. ❤️🐾

POV: You run a dog boarding business and can no longer travel from one room to another without an es**rt.

Polly is camera shy.
Toby can’t be trusted with real estate.
The rest have appointed themselves my security detail and insist on accompanying me everywhere.

At this point, I don’t run a dog boarding business. I travel with a staff.

Productivity has been postponed due to circumstances beyond my control.

Currently pinned down by one sleeping dog while the other three are finishing breakfast. The two cats are expected to report for nap duty shortly.

At this point, getting out of bed would require approval from multiple species.

Welcome to Doggone It – Paws & Play, where:
• Jax is aggressively trying to make friends
• Kobe has filed a restraining order against Jax
• Polly has claimed emotional support blanket status
• Toby disappeared somewhere in the bed like a tiny Victorian child with the plague

And somehow I’m just over here trying to survive with 47 pounds of dogs, fur, side-eyes, and zero personal space.

Honestly though… this is my favorite kind of chaos 🖤🐾

Not to be dramatic… but Kobe might actually be the chosen one 🫧✨”

Because why is he:
• glowing
• posing
• making direct eye contact with destiny
• and serving looks in EVERY photo

We just wanted cute pics… he gave us a full photoshoot.

Where your dog goes from ‘good boy’ to ‘main character’ 🫧✨”

Kobe had his own little vacation here at Doggone It – Paws & Play 💛
Full of playtime, enrichment, and apparently… magical bubble moments 🫶

No kennels. No stress. Just vibes, love, and a little ✨extra✨

And honestly?
He’s thriving.

Carlos Sandoval thanks for trusting me with your handsome pup!

Jax discovered the bubble machine…and I think it’s safe to say he approves. 🫧🐾
10/10 would chase again.

At Doggone It Paws & Play we take playtime very seriously - especially when bubbles are involved.

Because every pup deserves their own little vacation while you’re away.

Ps- Not created with AI, thank you very much. Dumb Facebook.

Polly’s having dinner, Toby’s playing with toys, and the cats are relaxing on their screened patio lounge.Just another spoiled evening at Doggone It – Paws & Play. Would your dog be the toy thief or the dinner supervisor? 😆🐾

5 dogs. Zero stress.
Just another day of cozy boarding, personalized care, and dogs who look way too comfortable.

This isn’t a kennel — it’s a mini vacation.

Hi everyone!
The holiday lineup was stacked, so updates are late — but let’s start strong with Bear 🖤

Bear took his role as electric scooter security VERY seriously.
Perfect manners, flawless recall, ran like a pro, and had me feeling safe the entire time — all while serving face, muscles, and tongue-out confidence.

If “gentle giant with bodyguard energy” was a job description… he’d be employee of the month.

More pups coming soon, but Bear said, “I go first.” 🐕‍🦺🐾
