Pawderosa Ranch

Pawderosa Ranch is a boarding and daycare kennel that offers all day play for dogs in a social environment. We are open seven days a week. With lots of room to run, your pup will have fun while you are on vacation or working long hours. He will be tired and happy after playing all day with friends and you can even watch him play via our webcams. If your pup needs a bath or nail trim, we can take care of that for you too! If you need a place for your pup to stay overnight while you travel or just need daycare while you work, we have two convenient locations with the best pet boarding San Antonio/Schertz has to offer: Pawderosa Ranch is a locally-owned company that was started in 2006 by San Antonio Native Kim Smith and Atlanta-born “Got to Texas as fast as I could” Michael Mitchell. Having lived in Atlanta for a few years after college, Kim discovered the fun that was “off-leash play” for dogs. She worked at a prominent Atlanta doggie daycare and volunteered at the Atlanta Humane Society. Dogs were always a part of her family and, having grown up in San Antonio, she had never heard of an all-day-play daycare and boarding facility like the ones they had in Atlanta. She decided it was time to move back home and offer San Antonio pups the same excitement and socialization opportunity that the dogs in Atlanta had access to. Why should Georgia dogs have all the fun? After months of planning, construction, the kennel doors were opened in June 2006. Mike and Kim lived onsite in the 1960’s house-turned-office with the Kennel Building situated on the formerly vacant lot next door. The half-acre of property was perfect with lots of room for dogs to run and play. The location was great in that it was almost adjacent to the San Antonio Airport runway.
