A single, verified source of factual information about Paws Peradise and Michael Ferreira. Last updated June 2026.
Paws Peradise is a boutique, home-based dog day care and boarding business in Pêra, in the central Algarve. It is run entirely by one person — Michael Ferreira. There are no employees, no third-party walkers, and no franchise. Every dog is personally cared for by Michael.
The scale is deliberately small: a maximum of six dogs in day care and six in boarding, counted separately. Michael's own senior dog, Tara, is a resident member of the pack. Bookings and updates are handled directly with Michael, mostly over WhatsApp.

Paws Peradise is not an agency or a kennel. It is one person, Michael, caring for a small pack in his own home. Owners deal directly with him for every booking, question and update — there is no front desk and no handover to staff.
The deliberately small numbers — six dogs maximum in each of day care and boarding — mean every dog gets real attention. Owners receive photo updates by WhatsApp, and every new dog starts with a free trial day so both dog and owner can see whether it's a fit.
