Four Paws Inn was built for dog owners in Schertz who want more than a kennel — they want a place their dog is actually excited to visit. Every overnight guest stays in a climate-controlled suite, gets daily one-on-one attention from our trained team, and has access to activity packages built around their own personality, whether that’s chasing a ball, lounging with a staff member, or romping with a group of new friends. It’s the kind of stay that leaves tails wagging at pickup, not just relief that the trip is over.
Comforts Waiting in Every Suite
Every overnight guest at Four Paws Inn settles into:
- A climate-controlled suite that balances comfort with everyday convenience
- Familiar comforts from home, like soft bedding and a favorite toy
- Attentive, hands-on care from our team, right down to in-room service
- A daily five-point wellness check to catch anything out of the ordinary early
- Soft classical music playing to keep the space calm
- Two meals served in-suite each day (bringing your dog’s usual food is encouraged, though we’re glad to provide quality food at no charge if needed)
- Four scheduled potty breaks throughout the day
- A personalized activity plan built around your dog’s energy level and preferences
Activity Packages Built Around Your Dog’s Personality
No two dogs relax the same way, so our boarding activity packages near Schertz, TX are built to match. Every option is designed to keep dogs engaged, worn out in the good way, and genuinely happy during their stay.
- Group Play: For social dogs, we pair your pup with others of similar size and energy in our fenced, grass play yard — fully supervised, fully stocked with toys.
- Individual Play: For dogs who’d rather have a person’s full attention, a staff member spends one-on-one time doing whatever your dog loves most — fetch, belly rubs, or just company.
- Puppy Love: Young pups get extra playtime and more frequent relief breaks to support good habits while they’re still learning the ropes.
- Extra TLC: Senior dogs and those with special needs get stretch breaks, upgraded bedding, and unlimited medication administration as part of their stay.
- Tasty Treats: House-made gourmet treats, crafted from quality ingredients, delivered to your dog’s suite the same way room service would be.

About Schertz, TX
Schertz sits just northeast of San Antonio in the Guadalupe, Bexar, and Comal county area, and it’s grown into one of the region’s more established suburban communities without losing its neighborhood feel — which matters when you’re choosing somewhere to leave your dog. Pet parents in Schertz tend to be active outdoors, and the city’s parks and open green spaces make it easy to keep a dog exercised between boarding stays.
That local, active lifestyle is exactly what our activity packages are built around: dogs coming from Schertz settle in quickly because the exercise and play they get here isn’t a departure from their normal routine, it’s an extension of it. Being this close means a short drive for drop-off and pickup, and a facility your dog can get familiar with over repeat stays rather than treating every visit like a new place.
