Different Kind of Care
Greater Lafayette’s first Dog Hotel dedicated strictly to boarding.
Where It Began
Owner
Paul Whitehurst
Throughout my career, I always felt something was missing in Greater Lafayette—a truly high-end, comfort-focused place for dogs.
That idea stayed with me for years. I knew there was an opportunity to create something better—something more thoughtful than the typical boarding experience.
The Heart Behind It
That vision became personal through my German Shepherd, Zoey. She wasn’t just a pet—she was family.
When I thought about boarding, I always came back to one simple question:
What would I want for her?
That question became the foundation for everything I’ve built.
Our Journey
After losing Zoey, I made a decision that changed everything—life is too short not to pursue what matters most.
One year later, I opened my first dog resort in Lafayette.
Over the next six years, it grew beyond what I ever imagined.
Eventually, I made the difficult but right decision to step away. That gave me the opportunity to reset, refocus, and reimagine what the ideal experience for dogs—and their owners—should truly be.
That vision is now Pawradise Hotel.
Designed Differently
Pawradise Hotel is not just another boarding facility—it is intentionally different by design.
As Greater Lafayette’s only boarding-only dog hotel, we do not offer traditional daycare or grooming services. By eliminating constant traffic and activity, we create a calm, structured, and more relaxing environment for every dog staying with us.
At the same time, all guests enjoy thoughtfully structured day play—creating the right balance of engagement and rest.
Our Approach to Care
Every dog enjoys a private, bedroom-style suite, including some of the largest standard accommodations in the area.
Each stay is designed around comfort, rest, and individualized care, with thoughtful details that help your dog feel relaxed and at home.
Everything we do is centered on creating a better experience—one that prioritizes calm, consistency, and personalized attention.
A Personal Commitment
More than anything, this business is personal to me.
I’ve built Pawradise Hotel around the same standards I would expect for my own dog, and I stand behind it completely. You’ll have direct access to me throughout your dog’s stay, so you can always reach out with questions or updates.
