Why Paws on the Lake

A lifelong animal person, not a checklist service.

This business started the way the best ones do: friends and neighbors kept asking. Behind it is a lifetime of caring for animals — including every stray that ever needed rescuing, feeding, or nursing back to health.

How It Works

Three steps to a pet that barely misses you.

1

Free meet & greet

We come to you. Your pets check us out, you walk us through routines and quirks. No commitment.

2

Your pet's care plan

Feeding times, walking routes, meds, favorite toys, the spot they like scratched — written down and followed.

3

Updates every visit

Photos and a quick text each time, so whether you're at the office or overseas, you know they're doing great.

Word of Mouth

Why clients keep telling their friends.

★★★★★
"Paws on the Lake has been amazing! Treana takes such good care of our dogs, and is SO easy to work with and be around. We love her and are so relieved to have found someone to love on and take care of our dogs when we're away."— Pam R., Cornelius
★★★★★
"Treana is THE BEST! We've used a lot of companies and individuals over the years to house-sit and care for our animals whenever we're traveling, but none have come close to the level of service and care that she provides."— Brittney S., Davidson
