Not Just Boarding — Belonging.™

Welcome to A Place to Paws™, the Lowcountry’s most serene, spa-inspired retreat for dogs.

We’re not your average boarding facility—from our thoughtfully-designed indoor and outdoor spaces, to our open-play model, and extensive amounts of human interaction, we’re focused on your pet’s safety, wellness, and happiness from start to finish.

Located within PAWS Center – Premier Animal Wellness Services, our 10,000 sq ft facility combines luxury care, modern design, and the peace of mind of having Buckwalter Veterinary Clinic just upstairs.

Your pet’s experience begins and ends with wellness: every guest receives a full sanitation process on intake and release, ensuring a clean, safe environment. For stays two nights or more, a complimentary bath and nail trim is included from our PawsSpa™—because every pet deserves to leave looking and feeling their best.
