Sweet Paws Retreat Website Redesign

Henson Marin

A Playful, Trust-Building Website for Yorkville’s Favorite Dog Retreat

Client: Sweet Paws Retreat
Industry: Pet Care (Daycare, Boarding, Grooming)
Location: Yorkville, IL, USA

The Challenge

Sweet Paws Retreat had built a strong local reputation—but their website didn’t reflect the warmth, trust, and energy pet parents felt in person.
They needed a site that:
Showcased their unique facility and services clearly
Built trust through real reviews and certifications
Made it easy to book a stay or get in touch
Stood out from generic, outdated pet care websites

Branding

Our Approach

We reimagined the site with a blend of fun, function, and trust-building elements.
Stronger First Impression
We opened with what matters most:
“Your Dog’s Favorite Hangout”—a headline that captures emotion and quickly communicates the offer.
Service Highlights
We separated Daycare, Boarding, and Grooming into focused, easy-to-scan sections. Each includes clear pricing, benefits, and CTAs.
Proof of Trust
Real customer reviews are featured prominently throughout the page, backed by mentions of Pack Pro and CPR-trained staff. This turns testimonials into conversion drivers.
Visual Reinforcement
Photos of happy dogs, open play areas, and enrichment add-ons (like froyos and lick mats) bring the experience to life.
Easy Booking Journey
We highlighted the “Book A Stay” CTA in all key sections. The 3-step onboarding process (Create Account, Evaluation, Book) removes confusion and builds confidence.
Why Choose Us Section
We directly compared Sweet Paws to “Other Facilities” using simple, honest language. This section quickly shows why pet owners prefer them.

The Outcome

A friendly, high-trust website that feels like the brand: caring, professional, and fun
Clear service breakdown with transparent pricing
Higher engagement from new customers and returning clients
More bookings through mobile-friendly, CTA-focused pages
