Caring for Vancouver Dogs Since 2010

Paws at Play’s Story

At Paws at Play, we believe every dog deserves more than just care—they deserve joyful experiences, loving connections, and a team you can trust. Since 2010, we’ve been providing professional dog walking, boarding, and pet care in Vancouver, serving almost every neighbourhood except downtown.

In 2025, ownership passed to Steph and Lauren, who bring a fresh, energetic vision while staying true to the trust and consistency our clients have relied on for years. Together with our dedicated team, we create safe, fun, and personalized experiences for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities.
