“Look. Listen. FRIEND—I’ve recommended Essential Paws to everyone I know, but I’ve also been a little lowkey about it because this place is seriously a hidden gem. It’s not just doggy daycare…it’s a 5-star -adventure-experience for your dog! One day soon, I’m telling you right now, this place is going to blow up and go viral.

From day one, I knew this was the place for my boy Mr. Fiji. The energy, the love, the way they treat each pup like a VIP—it’s unmatched. They host the most adorable, fun events (YES, actual themed parties for dogs!), and they make every dog and human feel so special. And each event and holiday more memorable 💕😭🙏🏼.

Mariah deserves all the clout—her passion, creativity, and genuine love for the dogs shines every single time. She has gone above and beyond to make every visit special. Her passion, creativity, and attention to detail (especially with the events!) truly stand out.

Gabbie, the amazing owner, has created something truly special here—safe, loving, and full of joy. And the rest of the crew—Manny, Myla, and Jasmine—are just as incredible. Fiji is so excited each time one of them greets him. He knows what time it is the second we’re coming over the bridge - essential paws pawty time 🤣😎 Every team member makes it feel like family (actually, better than family—because I trust them with Fiji more than I trust my own family!).

I’m so glad I ever found out about this place, my cousin recommended it years ago about being a “bougie but decent pricing fun place for dogs” definitely lives up to its reputation.”
