Staff are friendly and engage with the dogs! Absolutely love the care and affection that they give Bentley! They also go above and beyond after this past storm to ensure all pups were safe! LOVE THEM!!!!! ----- Author: Michelle Lamont Rating: 5/5 Date: 8/27/2024, 5:41:13 PM Review: My rescue has been going to P & R for about 18 months. She loves it and they really make her feel special. She is normally shy and keeps to herself but she has definitely gained confidence with the help of the wonderful staff members and administration. Dropping my baby off with the staff makes me feel secure and safe that they are taking such good care of her. I can’t thank Paws and Rec enough for what they do on a daily basis. Thank you all!! ----- Author: Dayane Gossner Rating: 5/5 Date: 6/11/2024, 7:02:22 PM Review: I just started a day care membership package for my dog and couldn't be happier! The staff at Paws n Rec is amazing, and it's easy to see how much they enjoy caring for our pups. I am confident that my dog is safe and well taken care of there, and he clearly shows that he loves going to day care. Thank you for taking good care of him and for making my life so much easier! ----- Author: Michelle DeWitt Rating: 5/5 Date: 1/11/2024, 12:06:29 AM Review: My dog has been attending paws n rec since he was 6 months old (he’s 3 now), and loves every second of every day there. He’s greeted with the most friendly staff that all love him. It’s very clean and safe environment and I trust that he is always taken care of. All around the best experience I’ve had with a doggy day care! ----- Author: pemom12 Rating: 5/5 Date: 10/21/2023, 5:14:41 PM Review: So happy we have a fun and safe place for our pups to enjoy social time! The staff at Paws and Rec are fantastic! We so appreciate how well they took care of our fur family ❤️ ----- Author: Emily Garrett Rating: 5/5 Date: 2/27/2023, 9:42:48 PM Review: Luni is always so excited to have a sleepover at PNR Pearl. They have gone out of their way to make sure she is having a safe and fun time even with a minor injury. The staff has been very friendly and attentive. They have made the tough decision of boarding a no brainer. I can rest assured Luni is having more fun than her humans when we have to be away. Thank you PNR! ----- Author: Cady Gillett Rating: 5/5 Date: 2/8/2023, 6:04:40 PM Review: Absolutely love PNR! Prior to starting here, we were at another daycare in the area and it has been night and day. I have a 2.5 year old corgi who is full of energy and super amicable; I’d pick her up from the old daycare and she would be a mopey shell of herself. No energy, wouldn’t eat dinner, distant, etc. I talked to the vet because I thought something was seriously wrong and they told me to remove her and try somewhere new. We started at PNR a year ago and I can’t begin to explain how different and great our experience has been. Stevie absolutely loves coming here and has definitely got her groove back.The extended hours have helped tremendously when I have work events and the staff has always been really great. The fact that she gets excited to see the staff when I drop her off tells me everything I need to know. I feel beyond comfortable bringing Stevie here and know it’s a safe, fun place for her. Highly highly recommend.

Paws N Rec Pearl is the best dog daycare facility in Tampa. The staff is extremely kind, compassionate and caring to all dogs they take care of. I have been a member for a few years and would never consider going to a different daycare facility. The team provides 100% transparency, the facility is always clean/upkept and I always get notified immediately of anything important - my pups are in the best hands. Thank you Paws N Rec Pearl for offering the best treatment & safety for all pups.
