Pettingpaws -Goa

Pettingpaws is run by a lovely couple who are genuinely caring and passionate about animals, and it shows in how professionally the place is run. The space itself is clean, hygienic, and well set up. Our dog is naturally shy around other dogs and takes time to warm up. Rather than rushing her, they introduced her slowly to two other dogs and clearly understood how to read her. On the few occasions she wasn't eating, they sat with her a little longer and made sure she finished her food. That kind of patience is rare to find. They also send daily updates with photos and news of what she's been up to, which puts your mind completely at ease when you're away. We're very happy with their service and would highly recommend them. Thank you :)

This was our first time ever leaving Lulu, and at just six months old, we had to leave her for a whole five weeks, so it felt like a huge leap of faith. But she adjusted so quickly and was clearly happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. Joulyn sent us regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Lulu was the little one surrounded by much bigger dogs, but Joulyn made sure she was always safe and comfortable. She made friends with Flusty, Micaela, and the other dogs, who were all so gentle with her and even became quite protective of her. She had the best time and came home happy, healthy, and completely herself. I would highly recommend Joulyn for her deeply humane approach, her kindness, and her genuine love for animals. We are so grateful for all the love and care Lulu received.

Dobby was well taken care of, Joulyn shares updates and photos of your fur baby often, she takes care of your pet like it’s her own, the place is clean and well looked after, her pets and the guest pets are so clean. It was a pleasure and a pleasant experience to deal with Joulyn and Melwyn. Thank you petting paws. Edited:September 2025..repeat stay.. as usual Dobby was sad to leave Joulyn.. he was well loved and had a wonderful stay at petting paws. He loves it so much, we plan on leaving him there once a month, it helps with his social etiquette. Edited: Jan 2026.. repeat stay. Joulyn was gracious enough to board Dobby as there was an emergency with my son and we had to visit him, this was only possible as Joulyn accommodated him, inspite of having so many dogs to care for. Dobby enjoys himself and is well cared for, he is always sad to leave his friends. He comes back happy, well fed, clean and happy.

When we moved our dog to the Petpaws hostel, we feared he might not be able to adjust. However they've done a wonderful job in helping him adjust to the place and familiarize himself with the other inmates. The regular video updates they sent assured us that he was well looked after, and that he was happy. Thank you, Petpaws

I recently left my dog Jenny at Pettingpaws with Joulyn while I was away for 4–5 days, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she received. This was Jenny’s first time staying away from home in almost 8 years, so I was a bit nervous at first. But Joulyn made the experience completely stress-free. She updated me every day with photos and videos, which really gave me peace of mind. Jenny was well taken care of and even made new friends during her stay! I can already tell she misses both her new buddy and Joulyn. Thank you so much, Joulyn, for your patience, care, and constant communication—you truly made this a great experience for both Jenny and me. Highly recommend! 🙌🐶💛
