Pet Boarding in Alvaton

“We are very satisfied repeat customers. Our fur baby is always so well cared for and treated like one of the family. They send us photos and we can leave town knowing he’s in good hands!”

About: My passion for dog training began at a young age when my parents purchased 2 Rottweilers for the family farm when I was young. I made it my personal mission to own a Rottweiler one day that loved as fiercely at home as he performed on the professional course. Both of my current Rotties are retired now (ages 10 and 12) but during my male's youth I joined Old Dominion Rottweiler Klub (ODRK) where Gus specialized in obedience, protection, and tracking. Gus was also a participant in Ridgeside K9's invite-only dog training group in Loudoun County Virginia that was only open to dog trainers. Gus also trained with world-renowned trainer Bart Bellon who resides in Belgium and is the creator of the Ne-Po-Po training system; a highly effective technique that creates drive and passion and lets the dog create the exercise. Unfortunately, Gus had to exit the training stage at a young age due to hip dysplasia. We since relocated to Westmoreland where he is living out is senior years with his mother, Citta Vom Haus Adomovik (CiCi), a German import that has world class titles in her 2 litters. I am currently a paramedic for Sumner County full time. My dogs are retired but I still have a passion for dog training that I decided to offer to Middle TN. There's so much bad info floating out there from so-called "trainers." If you're having an issue with your dog or just want help with basic obedience, I'd be more than happy to help. I am more than capable of getting your dog certified in various arenas if that is something you'd like to explore. I work every 3rd day for 24 hour shifts, so that leaves 20 days off per month so I'm pretty flexible with times and dates. First and foremost is safety. Introducing dogs to other dogs must occur in a controlled, safe manor. Letting them off-leash and immediately smelling each other is not only extremely dangerous, it is completely negligent on behalf of the owner and a recipe for disaster. Early socialization and training is paramount and non-negotiable. It's easier to teach a dog correct behavior than it is to modify behavior once a bad habit has been created. E-collars are the secret ingredient, with the "tone" or "beep" and vibrate function being the primary focus. Stimulation can be used but only for an immediate correction and has to be set appropriately to keep the dogs interest and not "punish." This creates an environment that is fun and rewarding for the dog and encourages growth and learning. Every training session is highly catered to the dogs intrinsic drive. Ultimately and perhaps most important, each session is ended on a high note and leaves the dog eager for the next session.

“Great caregivers for my fur baby! Will definitely use again.”

“From the moment I dropped my dog off I could tell Graceanne had experience with dogs.She was awesome w my pup. He is a fiesty and energetic dog and she took great care of him. I received pictures and videos of him playing and looking super happy. She was very communicative and made me feel at ease for leaving my dog for 3 days with her. Highly reccomend! Thank you Graceanne!”

“Jared watched our dog when we first moved here. He took amazing care of our Great Pyrenees and her puppy-ness. He fed her as often as we asked, ran her outside with his dogs, and made sure she had a comfortable place to lay down when she was done playing. Whenever we go over to his house our dog gets so excited to play with his dogs. He welcomes her with hugs and excitement. Highly recommended Jared!”

“I’ve never felt so comfortable leaving our Doods with someone! Sarah and her family spoiled and loved our dogs as her own. I received daily updates and pictures that allowed us to not worry. Honestly, I’m not even sure they’re happy to be home now haha. 10/10 recommend and will be booking again. Thanks, Sarah!!”

“Tara has taken care of my pets (dog & cat) for years and we all love her! She's very respectful of our house and likes sending cute pictures of the pets to us. She's great with animals (even cranky ones like ours) and I highly recommend her!”

“Daniel did a fantastic job with our Pearl! He made the whole experience easy for both our pet and for our peace. We will certainly be using him again”

About: As an animal science student and work experience with veterinarians I am confident in my ability to care for animals. I love animals of all varieties and have experience with cats, dogs, birds, and reptiles. May fiancé and I typically do most bookings together. He grew up on a farm so as a team we can handle just about anything you can throw at us! We also have experience giving animals medicine. Our apartment complex is also gates with a dog park and a dog wash! As a college student I have classes periodically through the day with breaks for lunch. I am free on the weekends to spend all day with your furry friend! We interact with our pets constantly. We utilize services such as the dog park and dog wash to keep our pets exercised and clean. We have many toys and lots of love to give!

“We were so nervous leaving our dog as he has seperation anxiety but Jenna was super kind and helped to out our minds at ease. While we were away Jenna sent us photos and updates letting us know how he was getting a long which was lovely to see. Now our dog just loves Jenna and gets so excited when he sees her that we don't worry anymore as we know he will be in safe hands.”

About: I have taken care of our pets and family/ family friends pets. I also take care of my step sisters dogs and walk them. I’m experience with taking care of small and big dogs. I’m currently not working and with having one more extra class I decided to do something fun with my free time. I would love to spend my time with playing with your pets and taking care of them. I have time during Tuesday and Thursday after 2:30 pm and then Wednesday between 10:05am-12:45pm. On Friday I have time anytime after 11:00am and most weekends I’m free anytime except Sunday is anytime after 2:00 pm. With were I live right now since I do live in a college house I can’t take care of pets over there sadly but If I was at the client’s home I would make sure the pet eats and then go on a walk. After that just come back and let the pet play with the toys or just relax with the pet.

“I had Kayla watch my cat already for a few years, every time when we are out of town. Kayla is very reliable and responsible and takes great care of my cat. She follows the instructions and is also able to give medicine which is very important for me. Kayla is very loving with animals and all the animals I had all loved her and immediately connect with her. It makes me feel good and I don’t need to worry when out of town. I can highly recommend Kayla to watch your animals.”

“Your pets won’t be in better hands than when they are with Jennifer. My Brodie absolutely loves her and her family. Sometimes I think he doesn’t want to leave when we have to pick him up😊. She is amazing with all dogs she meets. I would highly recommend her for all your pet sitting needs. You will have no worries while you are away because they will be living their best life in her care!!”

About: I’ve trained puppies simple skills, crate, and potty skills . I also rescued an abused puppy and nursed him back to health. Took veterinary science in school and small and big animal. Also took a dog grooming class, trimming hair, bathing, cutting nails, etc for about 4 years. I’m quick at it and it doesn’t bother me as I love doing it. Caring for a pet is supposed to be part of a schedule of you own one. I live on a old farm house so I have lots of yard for dos to play and a outside cage under a shade tree with lots of toys

“Emma was fantastic! She was responsive before, during, and even after when I had a follow up question. I received a few pictures each day which I loved and updates on how my girl was doing. Kya definitely enjoyed her stay and would use her again if I lived in town! Thank you Emma! ❤️”

About: As a lifelong dog owner and dedicated animal lover, I have spent years nurturing my passion for canine companionship. My journey began working at a humane society, where I learned the importance of compassion and care for our furry friends. I’ve expanded my experience in vet offices and boarding kennels, developing a deep understanding of pet needs and behaviors. Now, I’m thrilled to call a 6-acre farm my home, a space where I can provide love and care to animals of all kinds. I can't wait to meet your beloved pets and ensure they receive the exceptional care they deserve! I work from home and own a small farm, so I'm here fulltime and am very flexible with my schedule. I can accomodate boarding onsite anytime. Walks and in home drop ins would be more of a weekend accomodation for me if further than 20 miles away. I have a fenced in farm with 3 guard dogs to oversee the safety of our home. Inside boarding available as well as socialization with farmlife/other animals if wanted.

“She is one of the most reliable and caring person I know. Will go above and beyond to take the best care possible. Trustworthy and professional.”

Either myself or my wife will be able to be home all day to take care of your pet, and we both enjoy walking them too. We are able to give them breaks at least once every 2 hours. Dogs and cats are welcome to sleep inside when it is raining or cold out. Willing to let them out in the middle of the night if need be. We have a full 0.5 acre yard for your dogs to romp around in, explore, and play. Weldon dog park ia also a short walk away. All pets are allowed inside and i can crate them if you desire. If any issues with other furry tenants then i can segregate them into their own rooms with no issues.

“Regan has helped me out on multiple occasions taking care of my fur babies. Especially when I am out of town. My only complaint is she tends to give too many treats.”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and I’ve taken care of a lot of them. Nothing is impossible I promise! I’ll get it done! I currently work part time in the mornings and go to school 2 days out of the week. So I have a lot of time. I do not have a fenced in yard but plenty of land for everyone to run around in! I also have a very energetic dog
