Dog Boarding in Rickman, TN

“Merlin had a great time and looked very happy in all the pictures. Thank you very much and will look again for you to keep him when I go out of town.”

“Brenda was fantastic and sent me daily updates on how my dog was doing. She sent lots of pictures and even a couple videos. She took him to the park several times, which I loved! He took to her quickly and they were best buds the rest of the time!”

“We knew our pup was in good hands with Regina. She has a wonderful backyard for the dogs to play in! We got plenty of updates during Molloys stay!”

“Courtney is a very respectful, responsible person. She loves pets and would be able to take care of them and actually love on them as well .”

“Tiphaney has worked with my dog for several years, both grooming and boarding her. Onyx loves her, wiggling and wagging whenever she sees Tiphaney. The videos she sends make it clear that Onyx is having a blast. Onyx has long hair and an uncanny ability to find every mud puddle or burr around. Tiphaney makes Onyx look GOOD without traumatizing her. I can't speak about Tiphaney's ability to meet breed standards for grooming, as Onyx is a mutt with no discernable breed characteristics, but I am very pleased with the results. I highly recommend Tiphaney's services.”

“Michelle was fabulous! She took care of my dog as if it were her own, with all the love and attention that my pittie-mix wants. Michelle was super helpful/communicative when we were coordinating pickup/dropoff times and sent me pictures while I was out of town. I was a little nervous that my dog might not be too happy about being left behind with someone new, but Michelle and her daughter my senior dog feel right at home, with regular walks and a space to enjoy the outdoors.”

“There is no one I would trust more with my pets than Anna! You don’t have to worry about anything while you are away because Anna loves your pets like they are her own. My dogs get so excited when they see her!”

About: I have had all kinds of animals since I was little ! I grew up on a farm and love all animal !! I Love loving on animals ! I work 8 hours a day and after the work day is over I have all the time in the world to love on your beloved fur baby’s ! I do not currently have any pets in my home so you don’t have to worry about your baby’s getting along with anyone else !

“Honey had been adopted just 10 days before I had to travel and leave her for 10 days - as an anxious rescue she was new to me but had bonded well and I didn’t know how she would be with a family of five and three dogs! But it was the perfect setting to socialize her and help her overcome some fears. Grateful for Kayla’s patience and care!”

“Pryce was wonderful! I knew our fur baby was in great hands. It was such a relief to not worry about him while we were away. Pryce kept us updated our whole trip, and sent photos of Baxter having so much fun. She took him to the park to play, and he loved hanging out with her dogs. Pryce was excellent at communication, and quick to get back to us. Will definitely request her again in the future!”

About: I don't have much pet care experience when it comes to caring for other people's pets. But I've owned a pet of my own my whole life so I know what it's like to entrust a stranger with your fur baby! I promise to treat every pet with the same love and gentleness I would my own! No matter if you need overnight boarding, a walk, or just a pop in visit, I will provide my best services possible with love! Most of my pet care experience includes dog walking and drop in visits for family or neighbors' pets. I'm currently enrolled at Tennessee Tech University so my schedule is fairly flexible depending on which days I have classes. Dog walks and drop ins work easiest for me but since I live alone it's easy to do overnight boarding if its just for a day or two. I'm out of town most weekends but if you ask me in advance I can stay to do overnight boarding on some! I live right by TTU's campus so there is a lot of friendly and open places to take dogs on walks. I live alone with no other pets so if your dog is a bit more on the shy or nervous side, they wouldn't need to worry about too many interactions. There aren't any fenced in locations near my apartment so pets would need to be leashed when being taken out!

“Gabrielle is amazing with Moose! She sent me plenty of pictures and videos while we were away, and he loved playing with her pup! She is amazing!”

“Stephanie was a life saver. We mixed up our flight times and had to find a last minute place to drop off our dog. Stephanie responded very quickly and took our dog. Then the flight was delayed several hours and Stephanie agreed last minute to keep our dog an extra night. Stephanie did not require our dog to be crated, which our dog will not do. Stephanie prefers to let dogs be comfortable and roam inside like they would at home. We would definitely use Stephanie again!”

About: I have always been passionate about animals and would love to make a career out of it. I have worked at a veterinary hospital and I have been a dog groomers assistant for awhile as well!! I have always been the one in my family to care for all the animals such as: nails, bathing, walks, and feeding. I am a stay at home dog mom!! I love my animals like they are my children I take care of all there necessities. I also like to work will all types of animals because it makes me happy being around them. I am the type of person that you can trust with your pets! I’m not currently working so I will be fully devoted to you and your beloved pooch!! I take pride in my work with animals and can’t wait to meet all the fur babies!!

“Ashley was wonderful! She sent pictures and updates throughout the stay, and I picked up two very happy (and clean!!) pups!”

About: I was raised around farm animals to raising my own fur family! I have experience with different types of animals, all different ages! I love them all! I also do grooming on the side! In your home I can visit before 8am and after 2:30pm, as many times as you need! Boarding in my home any day/any time! Grooming is only 4p Mon-Thurs or anytime on the weekends. Safety is my number 1!! I provide crates for everyone, especially at bedtime! Some dogs need a safe place away from other dogs if they don’t want to play, the crate is a perfect place! If you have a dog that does not do well with others, that’s okay! I will make sure they will get play time too! I choose crates over solid wall kennels because your pet can see what is going on! That’s less stress on them! Everyone also eats in their own personal space (crate) so no accidents happen! This works perfect for those with food aggression! Everyone takes potty breaks separately so my full attention is on the one outside and no accidents of someone getting loose. Play time is always inside unless we want to play in the fenced in area outside. As for drop ins, I love getting details on how YOU want things to go! Either way, I try to keep your pet’s schedule the same as if they were at home/if you were home!

“Cindy felt like an old friend from the moment my dogs and I met. The four days that she watched and boarded my dogs, she provided many updates and photos and videos. I know she spent a lot of time with them, because they both slept 10 plus hours the first morning back with me. Cindy is a really kind soul. I will book with her in the future.”

“She is very attentive and loving towards all animals. She has pet sat for us many times. We have two dogs and a cat. The dogs are very young and full of energy. She is always willing to play with them and keep them entertained.”

“Shirley is wonderful! Totally understanding and patient with me being late to drop off my dog for an overnight stay due to my horse having an accident earlier that day, she even met me halfway to pick her up so I could go ahead and leave for my trip! Sent me pics, updates and responded to all text in a timely fashion. Felt my dog was safe and well taken care of 100% of her stay with Mrs. Shirley! Even met me again halfway for pickup as well! Will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!”

“Stacie and her family were wonderful! They treated my dog just like their own. Stacie sent pics often and replied to any messages when I asked for updates on him very quickly. She followed any specific instructions I had to a T. We will use her every time we can when we have to leave our Neyland for trips. 5 star!”
