They’re Not Just Guests. They’re Family.
Many of our boarding dogs have stayed with us for years. They know our home, our routines and each other. From greeting us at the door to curling up on “their” bed, they settle in and feel right at home.
Because Every Dog Has Different Needs
Their Diet. Their Routine.
We follow each dog’s individual feeding instructions and routine. All diets are welcome.
Extra Care for Seniors
Our home environment is particularly well suited for older dogs who may benefit from a quieter setting, individualized pacing, additional rest and personal attention.
Medication Management
We provide one-on-one attention for dogs with medication schedules and more involved care routines.
Boarding exclusively for our existing client family
Careful consideration of each dog’s temperament and compatibility
Limited availability so every dog gets the attention they deserve
A Small, Familiar Boarding Family
Boarding is currently offered on a limited basis to approved Pawfessionals clients and is subject to availability.
We intentionally keep our boarding group small so we can consider each dog’s temperament and compatibility and make sure every guest receives the attention they deserve.
Preparing for Their Stay
Arrival & Departure Windows
Both drop-off and pick-up are available during either of these two windows:
Food & Treats
Clients should provide enough of their dog’s regular food and any favorite treats for the entire stay.

Medications should be provided with clear instructions.
Current Information
Please keep your pet’s care information current, including feeding instructions, routines, medications and emergency information.

What Pet Parents Need to Know
Where will my dog stay while being boarded?
Our boarding service is home-based, not a traditional kennel or commercial boarding facility. Dogs stay in a comfortable home environment where they can settle into a normal household routine and receive personalized attention while you're away.
Is boarding available to new clients?
Boarding is offered on a limited basis to established Pawfessionals clients whose dogs we already know. Reservations are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to availability and confirmation that the dog is suitable for our home-based environment.
Will my dog be around other dogs while boarding?
Yes. Because boarding takes place in a home environment, your dog may be around our resident dogs and other approved boarding guests. For everyone's safety and comfort, we carefully consider each dog's temperament, behavior, and compatibility before accepting a boarding reservation.
What should I bring for my dog's boarding stay?
Please provide enough regular food for the entire stay, required medications with clear written instructions, and your dog’s leash, harness, and collar with current ID tags. Beds, blankets, and toys are optional, but items left with a pet are not guaranteed to be returned in the same condition and The Pawfessionals is not responsible for lost or damaged belongings.
What are your boarding drop-off and pickup times?
Will I receive photos and updates while my dog is boarding?
Yes. We'll keep you updated during your dog's stay so you can see how they're doing and enjoy photos while you're away.
Can you board senior dogs or dogs with special needs?
Possibly. We consider each dog’s age, mobility, health, medication needs, temperament, and comfort in a home environment. Medical conditions and special-care needs must be disclosed before booking. We may refuse or discontinue boarding if a dog is ill, aggressive, destructive, or otherwise unsuitable for home-based boarding.
What Dallas Dog Parents Are Saying:
I have been using The Pawfessionals for about 10 years now and to say that they are amazing is an understatement. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my fur babies. They are very professional and responsive which I think anyone can appreciate. I get updates after every scheduled visit about how...

I just moved to the Dallas area and needed a dog sitter for a weekend trip. The Pawfessionals started working with me to confirm a sitter even before I moved to Dallas. My dog’s sitter (Maddie) kept me informed with walking routes, reports, and pictures every day. I was not worried about my pup at all while I was away. Would highly recommend their services!
