Clos du Paws was founded by lifetime dog lover, Katie McQueary Bartz.  She wanted to provide dogs with a cage free boarding experience that would replicate their family home. Dogs who stay at Clos du Paws are invited to choose a cozy spot on a bed or couch in the Dog House.  Guests can enjoy the amenities of a home environment such as heating/ AC, televisions streaming your pets favorite dog channel, and vineyard views through the floor to ceiling windows.

    My dog Bodhi loves to go crazy in their huge dog park. he always comes home exhausted. It's our go to boarding spot because he's never been crated so he's very cozy in their guest house and sleeps on the couch just like at home. We love Clos du Paws and would suggest it to all of our family and friends.

    If you’ve been calling around trying to find a spot for your furry child look no further! Katie, Howie and the whole team have been very responsive, accommodating and truly love all the dogs they take care of. Every time I pick up my dog, Chico, he sleeps just about the whole next day…sign of a great time!

    We couldn't be happier with the fantastic care of our pup at Clos du Paws!!! The property is perfect for the dogs to run and play, while keeping them all safe. Katie is so friendly and gives great attention to care for all the dogs. We are so glad we found this treasure so near to our home. 🐾

    I love Clos du Paws. It’s a beautiful space. Katie and her family are dog whisperers. She knows each and every dog, so things can run as smoothly as possible with our 4 legged friends. They are always making improvements because they care about their business. Thank you!

    Clos du Paws is amazing. Our little Enzo has so much fun there. Everyone(dogs and employees) are super friendly and I would highly recommend.

    We have been taking our 2 dogs, 1 terrier, Ned, and 1 labrador, Luna, to Clos du Paws for several months. Luna is very sensitive, a little anti social with other dogs and cannot be separated from Ned. So, kenneling has not been an option for us, until now! Not only does Clos du Paws have simply gorgeous accommodation for the dogs - they can choose to sleep in the guest house or family room - but plenty of open spaces and areas for the dogs to play in. In particular, Katie always makes sure Luna is comfortable and truly, this is the only time I have ever seen Luna excited to be left - she literally jumps out of the car in order to bound into Katie's (or rather Howie, Katie's husband's) arms. I also really like that they limit how many dogs stay over so my pups are not overwhelmed or lost in the shuffle. Katie is always very responsive to texts and flexible with our drop-offs. I have absolutely no hesitation recommending Clos du Paws for providing a safe and secure environment with plenty of freedom, exercise, and love.

    I am so grateful that I have found Katie and Howie’s dog care. These folks absolutely love dogs! They have a huge outdoor space for the dogs to play and it is super safe. My dog is always so excited to go spend his time there and he comes homes so tired which is a wonderful treat for me. Clos du Paws is an absolute treasure for Sonoma and for folks with pups or dogs.

    Katie takes such good care of my miniature dachshund! I was honest with her about his rough transition to life in California (so many intact dogs). She said to bring him by for a trial to see how he would do, and he had a blast - even with the big dogs! I’m so grateful to have a safe place to send him! There are areas to separate the dogs, if needed, and when he’s tired and just wants to cuddle with a human, he hangs out in her lap. I’m may be traveling soon and will definitely be driving both him and my 13 year old miniature dachshund all the way to Clos du Paws from Incline Village because I trust her to take the best care of both of them!

    Clos du paws is everything one could hope for in a doggy daycare and much more! The property and its spacious yards allows our dog Moray to freely socialize, exercise, or kick back, relax and enjoy the beautiful view. Katie‘s warm personal touch in getting to know each and every dog in her care is truly something special! A dog loving family in a wonderful setting, our pup is always thrilled to see Katie and his furry friends at Clos du Paws!
