Meet Wendy
A founder's story — and the quiet philosophy that guides every stay.

Our goal isn't simply boarding your dog. It's giving them a second family while you're away.
OC Paw House began the way most meaningful things do — quietly, and out of love. Wendy has always been the friend whose home was full of visiting dogs; the neighbor everyone trusted with their most cherished companion. Somewhere along the way, a hospitality career, a lifetime with dogs, and an instinct for making people feel at home converged into something more.
Today, OC Paw House is a boutique home boarding experience in the heart of Orange County. There is no warehouse. There are no rows of kennels. There is a family home with sunlit rooms and soft rugs, a garden of palms and terracotta, and a founder who insists every guest is greeted by name.

Wendy's philosophy is simple: dogs know. They know a familiar voice, a soft bed, a home that smells of dinner and linen. They know when they are safe. Our promise is that every dog who visits us feels — without a doubt — that they are.
