Do you feel guilty for booking a trip? We get it. We have clients who went years without traveling because they couldn’t bare to leave their best friend behind.

And then… they found us. At Essential Paws, your dog gets to enjoy their own vacation—complete with oceanfront comfort, interactive play, and personalized care. Our resort is tucked into the heart of South Hutchinson Island in sunny Fort Pierce Florida. With waterfront views and a cooling ocean breeze, your dog will be vacationing in luxury. Wouldn’t it be great if your dog got excited when you pulled out your suitcase?

Our mission is to create a home-like atmosphere where guests and their parents feel valued, nurtured, and supported with personalized care. Please keep in mind our moto is “curated over crowded,” which means we keep things intimate and intentional. Spaces are limited; we recommend booking reservations well in advance!
