SAFE & FUN FOR DOGS
Downtown Cleveland’s Premier ‘Paws’ Care
Welcome to
Paws Play Cleveland
Here, “Paws” refers to the four-legged friend who captured your heart and claimed a forever place in your home. And “family” refers to you, your Paws, and our team, after your very first visit.
When you can’t be with them, you can trust us to provide a safe, fun, and enriching environment for your Paws.
Who We Are
Paws Play isn’t just a safe place for pets—it’s an experience. Founded by U.S. Air Force veteran and proud business owner Teressa Doaty-Johnson, Paws Play was built on the pillars of superior service, squeaky-clean spaces, rock-solid reliability, and—most importantly—FUN.
We started in the heart of Downtown Cleveland, and that flagship location still sets the vibe: the moment your Paws trot through the door, you can feel the tail-wagging energy. Now we’ve packed up that same sparkle and are opening a second home in Euclid, OH—so whether you’re lakeside or skyscraper-side, your pets get the very same five-star treatment.
Low turnover, high passion, and genuine care make us the most trusted name for Paws care services in both neighborhoods. Two cities, one promise: every guest leaves happier than they arrived.
Who We Serve
We cater to Downtown Cleveland neighbors, Euclid locals, cross-town commuters, out-of-town travelers (yes, the frog’s still on our VIP list), and hotel guests hunting for a fun, dependable daycare or boarding spot. Whether your sidekick trots in under the city skyline or by the lakefront, once those Paws are with us, they’re family. Need proof? Just ask our regulars.
What We Offer
We provide a full range of services to keep your Paws happy, engaged, and cared for while you’re at work, out of town, or just need a little help balancing a busy schedule.
Dog Daycare
Paws Play offers fun-filled and enriching full-day and half-day daycare options to accommodate your schedule and your Paws’ needs. Here, every day is an adventure. We incorporate games, activities, and plenty of 100% supervised socialization to keep all Paws entertained and happy.
Dog Boarding
For overnight stays, we provide private, luxury suites designed for relaxation and comfort. Paws enjoy aromatherapy, soft music, and city walks tailored to their needs. We even offer live camera monitoring, so you can check in anytime.
Dog Bathing
Treat your Paws to a fresh look and a little pampering with our professional bathing services. Regular baths in a calm, stress-free environment not only helps your Paws look and smell great, but also removes dirt, debris, and loose fur, keeping the skin and coat healthy.
Dog Birthday Parties
All dogs deserve a special celebration on their special day. At Paws Play Cleveland, you bring your Paws, we bring the party! Each birthday “pawty” includes two hours of group play, decorations, and a special cake for the guest of honor and friends.
