How Sea Paws Got It’s Start
For many, the dream of moving to the beautiful Gulf Coast, starting a business, and building a life around doing what you love feels like a fantasy. For Paula Gonzales, that dream became a reality—with a unique twist. Her passion lies not in pampering people but in catering to four-legged “customers.”
After vacationing in Gulf Shores in 2009, Paula fell in love with the area’s charm and decided during the summer of 2014 to relocate permanently from Austin, Texas. Dogs had always been a big part of her life, and she knew her calling was to turn that passion into her profession. “From being behind the computer to behind the pooper scooper, with muddy paws and cold noses, through the summer heat and humidity, I am truly blessed to do what I love for a living,” said Paula… click to read more

Brianna Blake23 September 2026We love SeaPaws!! We have three golden retrievers: Bill, Dooley, and Harvey and they are dragging us to the daycare door every time!! They are extremely high energy dogs and it’s so nice to find an affordable daycare to send them too for up to 11 hours if we needed for only $30 per dog!! HECK of a deal if you ask me for the amount of enrichment they receive AND with what the staff is probably having to deal with on a day to day basis. The staff knows our pups by name and they get so personal with it! The daily pictures melt my heart every. single. time.!!! I do wish there could be some kind of sibling bundle discount since we have three and sending them here can add up on the price, but again the price for what you get is still a great deal. We love this place so much and are so thankful for what you guys do!!Posted on Google

R J16 September 2026My dog Schatzi loved her first day at Sea Paws, Doggy Daycare in Foley. All of the people working there were very nice and really took care of every dog. My 4 month old German Shepherd puppy was alittle timid at first, but then liked being around all of the dogs and girls working there. She had such a good time, I brought her back the next day. I will continue using Sea Paws.Posted on Google

Rachel Ragland22 June 2026Awesome experience ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an excellent experience boarding our dog at Sea Paws! The facility was very clean and well-maintained, which gave us peace of mind from the moment we dropped our girl off. The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely cared about the animals in their care. One of our favorite parts was receiving photos and updates throughout our dog's stay. It was so reassuring to see our pup happy, comfortable, and having a great time while we were away. The communication was wonderful, and it was clear that our dog was getting lots of attention and love. We highly recommend this facility to anyone looking for a safe, clean, and caring place to board their pet. We will definitely be using them again! 🐾💕Posted on Trustindex

Madison Chambers8 June 2026Boarding We boarded our dog for a week and we were nervous because this was a first for us. As soon as I showed up I was immediately relieved by how friendly and accommodating the staff was! I felt so much better about leaving my dog. They sent us tons of pictures throughout the week and he looked so happy! I would highly recommend Sea Paws to anyone with a dog needing day care or boarding. Thank you Sea Paws!Posted on Trustindex
Erica Thomas21 May 2026Paws down, the BEST This is absolutely the best place for my Ranger! He loves it so much and they truly care for and get to know each and every dog. I wish I could give 1,000 stars because that's what they deserve! The staff is amazing and they make it so easy for me and my busy schedule.

Janet G.16 May 2024I highly recommend Sea Paws for doggy day care I have a condo in Gulf shores and my husband and I are out and about during the day and put our Border collie there,he couldn't wait to go staring at the door before we leave. Sea paws will take a picture of your dog while he's there and take good care of your furbaby,they'll come home all tired out.. Great and friendly staff. See you in October Sea paws.

Libby S.16 July 2023They were great! I went on an impromptu beach trip, and needed to board my darling cavapoo. I was very very nervous taking her to someone I didn't know. They were very patient with me, answered my million questions I had for them, sent pictures daily. She got an exit bath, and the owner even gave me a towel because she wasn't fully dry. She didn't have any fleas, rashes etc. they also keep the big and little dogs separate, which I appreciated because Darla is so little and plays hard. They also sent pictures!Posted on Yelp
Jill W.24 June 2023Every time we go on vacation we always do the research ahead of time and board our puppies 15 or 20 minutes near us. So when we go on vacation, they go on a mini vacation....I look at the value of things .... This kennel was very attentive to our pets. They sent pictures daily and kept us updated on how they were doing and when we pick them up, they were lively and happy....... I 100% recommend this lovely establishment.....Posted on Yelp
Mike R.29 April 2023We boarded our 5month old pug at SeaPaws for the month of February while on vacation I can't say enough about the facility and how well our little guy was taken care of. When we did take him out for a couple of hrs or for the day believe it or not he would have much rather stayed at the facility with all his buddies. It was very clean and all the dogs at the facility we're so well taken care of there were tears and hugs when we left. Would recommend this facility to all all who r looking for an excellent place to board your fur babies with no worries an can enjoy your vacation. Our little guy slept for 2 days once we got home totally exhausted from playing with his friends at the facility. Staff was beyond exceptional and friendly. Would recommend this facility. From the cold state of Wisconsin.Posted on Yelp
Tina W.21 November 2022I used their Foley location for my fur baby when I traveled to Foley for Sunbelt Volleyball Championships. Even though hotel allowed dogs, I didn't want to leave him in a room all day- so I filled out a quick form they sent me on line. Brody had a blast at his play date!! He was practically dragging me in the door when we went back the next several days. Gréât crew- my dog was happy. Makes it easy to travel to certain places when there are good places to bring my dog! Under 10 minutes from Townsuites Marriott at OWA.Posted on YelpTeresa B.11 August 2021Fantastic place! Sarah is awesome. We were at our condo for vacation and our new car's navigation went out. When we dropped off our pups she gave us a recommendation for a mechanic. As it turned out we resolved the problem on our own. Sarah always made our pups feel welcomed and safe as they were not accustomed to going to day care. We even had them stay over night one night. our pups came home tired every night and were well behaved! She even told us they have snack time in the afternoon! Thank you for allowing us to relax on our vacation. We can't wait to use you when we become permanent residents.Posted on YelpStephanie G.4 April 2021A+ Colt absolutely loved doggie daycare at Sea Paws (Gulf Shores). From the staff to the facilities, everything was top notch. I was in the area for 5 weeks and wanted a place for Colt to play, socialize and just have fun. Sea Paws (Gulf Shores) definitely delivered. He went approximately 3 days a week. Everyone treated Colt like their own and he showered them with kisses when we left. I cannot say enough great things about this location and the fabulous people that run it. Highly recommend. Colt gives it 4 paws up!Posted on YelpRosemary S.24 December 2019We absolutely can not say enough about how much we love taking our 3 pups to Sea Paws for day care or boarding. Our dogs get excited when we pull in the driveway to drop them off. They get plenty of love from everyone that works there. When we are out of town, we often get updates by text and pictures.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

We were on vacay in Gulf Shores and wanted to board our 10lbs Toy Poodle close by. After researching we found SeaPaws. This place is AWESOME! We are super picky when it comes to our fur child and we were NOT disappointed! Each day they sent us pictures of Henry playing. We could see his super happy puppy smile…
