Why Pawmetto

Not a kennel. A retreat.

Every stay is small, personal, and considered — the way pet care should have been all along.

Small by design

We limit every stay to a handful of guests, so each dog gets real attention — not a number on a kennel run.

Real-time peace of mind

Daily photo and video updates land in your phone, so you're never far from your dog's day — wherever yours takes you.

A home, not a facility

No cages, no kennel runs, no fluorescent hallways — just a calm, comfortable house, built around dogs.

Trained, caring hands

Every caretaker is vetted, trained in pet first aid, and genuinely loves the work — not just tolerates it.

Tailored to your dog

Custom routines for diet, medication, and temperament — because your dog isn't "a dog," they're your dog.

Sustainably run

Eco-conscious cleaning, energy, and sourcing choices — because caring well shouldn't cost the earth.

Meet Your Host

Mia Lompar, founder.

More than 25 years of hands-on experience caring for animals — Pawmetto isn't a franchise or a drop-off desk, it's Mia's own home, and her own hands on every single stay.

Every dog that stays with us is looked after personally by Mia, not handed off between shifts of strangers. That's the boutique difference: one person, one home, decades of experience, and a genuine love for every guest that walks through the door.

In Her Own Words

A lifelong love story.

"Thank you, Mia for caring for my George. I enjoyed all the pictures and videos. George had too much fun in your yard, with the other dogs, and with your family. I HIGHLY recommend Mia — the most important thing is that George was well cared for, loved, and truly had a ball of good time."
