Why In-Home Pet Care?

Whether you’re away from home for extended hours during the week for work, heading out for the day for fun, or traveling for an extended period of time; your fur family needs cared for. We offer an alternative to pet day care / boarding facilities.

  • Most boarding facilities are great, but many pets are just more comfortable in their own homes & spaces
  • Keep your pets on the same routine that they’re used to when you’re at home
  • We develop personal relationships with the pets and care for each one individually
  • Mitigate risk of potential illness, stress or injury associated with being around many other dogs in confined spaces

Our Story

Paw Academy Pet Care was started in Celebration, FL over 13 years ago by Melissa and August Carnahan, who were residents at the time and saw a need to serve Celebration’s fur families. Over the next 7 years they built a trustworthy family-run pet business and were well known in the community. In 2016,Melissa & August relocated to be closer to family and Celebration residents Darlene & Steve took over; continuing the wonderful ethos and quality care that the community was accustomed to. In 2020, Darlene & Steve decided that it was time to retire to the beach and start some long over-due traveling, so they welcomed Sarah and Scott as the new owners. Scott and Sarah make a wonderful team and are excited to continue offering the highest degree of trust and quality of pet services that Celebration has to offer. See Scott & Sarah’s full bios below!
