Four services, all from one home in Pêra. Boarding is the heart of what I do. Day care and walks live alongside it. Every new dog starts with a free trial.
Your dog stays in my home in Pêra. Sleeps in a real room. Spends the day with a small pack of regulars. Morning walk, calm afternoons, evening photo update sent to you.
This is a home, not a kennel. Tara, my senior dog, is here. There is no cage. There is no second location. The routine is set around the dogs, not business hours.
A safe, calm day at my Pêra home with a small pack. Same home, same routine, same person as the boarding service — without the overnight stay.
Drop-off is flexible. Pick-up by 7pm. We are in Pêra — drop-off here means no travel fee.
A 60-minute enrichment walk on the trails around the Salgados lagoon. Your dog gets to slow down, sniff properly, and move through terrain that's actually interesting. We drive to the trail — it starts there, not at your door.
Walks are part of every boarding stay. Available as a standalone booking for visiting dogs nearby, subject to schedule.
Every new dog starts with a trial day. I meet you both, we walk, and I see if your dog fits the pack. It costs nothing the first time.
If your dog is a fit, they're welcome to come back any time. If not, I'll explain why in detail and help match them with the right place or trainer.
The numbers are kept deliberately small: a maximum of six dogs in day care and six in boarding, counted separately. It means every dog gets real attention rather than getting lost in a crowd.
Yes. Boarding is home-based — dogs stay inside the home as part of the pack, not in kennels or outdoor runs. They settle in as guests, the way they would at home.
Always. Every new dog gets a free trial day before any paid booking, so both your dog and I can see whether it's a good fit. There's no commitment until everyone's comfortable.
The home base is in Pêra, in the central Algarve. Adventure walks head to curated local trails in Pêra, Salgados and Galé. Pick-up for day care and boarding is available from your address, with a small distance-based travel fee.
I do — every dog, personally. Paws Peradise is run by one person, Michael, with no employees or third-party walkers. You deal directly with me for every booking, question and update.
The trial day is free. The conversation is easy. Message me anytime.
