Dogs live with us — not next to us
When your dog stays at Excelsior Paws, they're integrated into our daily life. Couch privileges, under-the-covers naps, full run of the fenced backyard. For senior dogs, pet stairs make every surface accessible. Best fit: social, dog-friendly guests who'll be comfortable around our two resident dogs.

A Day in the Life
A gentle home for older dogs
Boarding a senior dog requires more than a place to sleep. Built on years of senior dog rescue and fostering, we adapt the whole household to your dog's pace — soft surfaces, accessible furniture, scheduled meds, and quiet rest when they need it.
Pet Stairs Everywhere
Stairs to the couch and bed — no painful jumps.
Medication Management
Pills, drops, supplements on schedule, every dose.
Slower Pace
Walks adjusted to mobility. Frequent rests. We follow your dog's lead.
Quiet Rest Spaces
Calm, soft spots away from activity when they need to decompress.
Boarding Rates
$110 /night
Includes a daily walk — either a pack walk or solo walk, depending on your dog's needs. Medication management, fenced yard access, and full home integration included.
