Dog Boarding in Deer Lodge, TN

“Shawna is an absolute joy to work with! She gives you the peace of mind knowing your pups are staying with someone who genuinely cares about them. I’m confident my babies were in great hands, so great that I don’t think they even missed me! lol I highly recommend Shawna for any boarding/pet sitting needs and I will definitely be reaching out to her in the future for my own! Thanks again Shawna!”

About: Hi! My name is Candice, and I have over 25 years of hands-on animal care experience, along with volunteer experience with an animal rescue organization. Caring for animals has been a lifelong passion, not just a job. I have extensive experience caring for: • Dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and temperaments • Horses, cows, pigs, and chickens • Rabbits, hamsters, and gerbils • Birds • Reptiles, including chameleons • Freshwater and saltwater fish My rescue background has given me strong skills working with shy, anxious, senior, and special-needs animals, as well as pets that need extra patience, structure, and reassurance. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals has been a consistent part of my life for over 25 years. I structure my schedule to allow dedicated time for walks, drop-ins, feeding routines, playtime, and check-ins so each pet receives attentive, unrushed care. Throughout the week, I prioritize reliability and flexibility to accommodate different pet schedules, whether that means morning walks, midday visits, evening care, or overnight stays. I also build in time for communication and updates so pet parents feel informed and confident while they’re away. Because animal care is something I genuinely enjoy, it’s not something I “fit in” — it’s something I intentionally plan my day around. My care approach is always tailored to each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level. Whether I’m caring for pets in a client’s home or providing drop-ins and walks, I focus on consistency, safety, and creating a calm environment. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, litter or habitat maintenance, exercise, and enrichment. I respect the home as if it were my own and aim to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel secure and stress-free. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident while they’re away. During walks and drop-in visits, I prioritize safety, awareness of surroundings, and positive interaction. Walks are customized to the pet’s energy level, and visits include playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, feeding if needed, and companionship. With over 25 years of experience and animal rescue volunteer work, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all temperaments, as well as small animals, reptiles, and farm animals when needed. My goal is always to provide reliable, compassionate care so pets feel comfortable and loved in their familiar environment.

“Lindsey was able to keep him for a same day booking last minute when we went to see my dad for father's day! It was a huge blessing, since we couldn't take shiloh along because of the heat! Love not having to worry about him while hes with her!”

“Karen made such a great home away from home for our 2 collies that they did not want to leave when we picked them up! It was the first time leaving them in years and we are so happy to have found Karen because we knew they were getting the best 1 on 1 care and attention! She sent us updates and pictures while we were away and they got to go on a lot of walks which made us so happy to hear! 1 of our collies has lots of health issues but this was not a problem for Karen while we were on vacation. Thank you again!!”

About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals throughout my life, dogs are my favorite though!! I would love to take care of yours! I am currently working at topgolf full time right now, i am available during the evenings on the days i work, i usually get off around 4!! When caring for pets, i feel they need a lot of outside activity. I like to take the dogs for a walk or to the doggy park, to let them get their energy out!! I would love to come and take care of all your fur babies!!!

“Tammy was AMAZING! After we got our babies home, they seemed mad that they had to leave. She spent so much time spoiling them it made me feel like I need to step up my mom game. She also stayed in constant contact with lots of pictures and asked lots of questions about what our babies could or couldn’t do/eat/etc. to help keep their routines. 10/10 great service! We will continue to book her for any boarding needs.”
