Paws & Friends Pet Salon & Country Resort

Paws & Friends offers dog boarding, cat boarding, dog daycare and dog and cat grooming. The business describes its boarding as open concept and home-like rather than a traditional kennel, and says it has specialized in these services since 2004. Owner Nicole Tiffin started working at a kennel at 16 and bought a grooming salon at 19, and the pet resort grew from there.

Daycare is supervised by staff, and boarding and grooming are arranged by phone or through the online reservation system. New clients register on the site, and current clients can access their account through the portal. The business is at 9222 Bailey Rd. in Manvel, just outside Pearland.
