As dedicated dog care providers, our mission is to offer a fun, stimulating, and comfortable experience for every pup that walks through our doors. We understand that dogs are family, which is why we’ve designed our services to prioritize their physical and mental well-being. Whether your dog is here for training, boarding, daycare, or grooming, they’ll receive compassionate care from our experienced team.

A State-of-the-Art Dog Resort for Fun & Safety

Our 26,000-square-foot facility in Fishers, Indiana, is built to provide the ultimate dog care experience. With both indoor and outdoor play areas, we ensure dogs have plenty of space to exercise, socialize, and engage in enriching activities.

Safety is our top priority. Our indoor play spaces feature padded flooring for joint protection, and our outdoor areas are equipped with XGrass Canine Turf for a clean, dog-friendly surface.

Tails Are Wagging!

We are a local, family-owned dog care business that goes above and beyond to create a environment where your dog will thrive. See what pet parents are saying about us!

"Paws and Play was exactly what we needed, when I decided to take our Trixie to daycare. The staff go above and beyond to meet every dogs needs. Trixie has come a long way in overcoming her fear of people, and loves to go to group play! She spends one night there a month, and is very well cared for. She has been going for over 2 years, and we are so thankful for all they have done for our Trixie. I highly recommend Paws and Play for all your dog’s daycare, training and boarding needs."

"Amazing facility that cares about dog comfortability, enrichment, and fun! They review and alter daycare and boarding guidelines in order to create the best experience for your pup, while also not overloading them. As a family-owned business you can tell that they not only care about your pups but you as a client as well. The training programs are customizable and they really know what they are doing. The groomers/bathers make the dog's experience fear-free. This is a one of a kind place. Highly recommend!"

"After touring several stay-and-train facilities in the area, we wholeheartedly chose this one to board our new puppy and help her learn some new skills. The decision was an easy one, as this clean and beautiful facility truly stood out! Their seamless communication ensured that we were always reassured that our little one was not only being well cared for but genuinely loved by everyone. I can't recommend this place enough -we even nicknamed it "Doggy Disneyland"!"

"We left the the country for 10 days and boarded our puppy at Paws & Play. The cost was extremely fair for the service. We included the training package. They sent us pictures and report cards letting us know his progress, and when he was fed. They also coordinated directly with our vet to get the correct medications he needed and were able to get them there simply by texting. Everyone was very friendly. I highly recommend Paws & Play. We’ve gone a few places and they didn’t compare."
