EXPERIENCE THE ESSENTIAL PAWS DIFFERENCE
At Essential Paws, we believe your dog deserves more than just a “safe” place to stay or a “decent” groom- they deserve intentional, loving, and elevated experiences. Created for the pet parent who won’t settle for anything less than exceptional, we offer a home-like environment where safety is expected, and personalized attention is standard. Whether you're visiting for waterfront boarding, enrichment-focused daycare, or precision grooming, every detail is designed with your dog’s physical comfort, emotional well-being, and happiness in mind. We are raising the bar on pet care.

ABOUT OUR COMPANYEssential Paws Island Resort
Our mission is to provide the ultimate vacation home for your best friend. We want them to look forward to their time here as much as you look forward to your time away! Essential Paws is more than a dog resort, it’s a second family. We want our guests and you, their parents, to feel valued, nurtured, and supported as a member of our pack by providing exceptional, personalized care.
What sets us apart
We are able to provide a premium experience for your bestie by truly getting to know them, inside and out. We take our time to learn about their interests, dislikes, quirks, play styles, socialization preferences and what really gets their tail wagging! As seriously as we take the quality of care we provide, safety is our number one concern.
You can rest easy knowing our crew is certified in Animal First Aid, CPR, Animal Behavior & Psychology, Canine Enrichment, Safe Group Play and much more. You can see a full list of our certifications and awards scrolling across the bottom of this page! We’ve even taken an extra step to ensure your pup’s safety by installing PetAirapy’s UV disinfection technology in all of our facilities, killing more than 99.9% of tested virus and bacterial pathogens, including kennel cough, canine influenza, canine distemper and even Covid 19.
