Customized comfy care

Pet care experience

About the Facility: We have 11 separate outdoor fenced areas varying in sizes from 10x10x6 to 20x20x6, all connected to one big fenced in courtyard to zoomie in with pools in the hot summer and toys all the dogs are welcome to play with and tear up. Inside we boast 6 foot welded wire pens in our living room upstairs, 5 foot welded wire pens in our lower level living area, in the spare bedrooms as well as various sized welded wire and plastic crates - all for guests’ use. The downstairs is all tile and the back door leads to our fenced in back courtyard / deck area with an insulated dog house for the cold day potty breaks as well as a large water trough in the summer and heated water bowls in the winter. We also just added (2024) private hiking trails to the back of our wooded property to be able to enjoy nature without having to encounter other people or dogs (for our more reactive guests) and to burn some extra energy for those dogs that are used to adventuring! Make sure to ask about how to add trail walks to your next booking 😄 About Our Care: All dogs are never left outside unattended, unsupervised or in inclement weather. We do require dogs be contained in one of our crates, pens or spare rooms at night as well as when we are away from the property. Prior to each booking we will ask the appropriate questions and work with pet parents to find the right accommodation for their fur baby. We take great pride in providing love and care for each dog in our care and do our best to accommodate all needs - however, we feel it is necessary that all clients and their fur babies acknowledge that 1.) we are *not* always on property as we both work other PT jobs and 2.) we ALWAYS have at least 15 dogs (larger breeds) on property at all times - these are our personal pets. We also frequently foster multiple dogs at a time. If you or your fur baby are uncomfortable around large breeds we advise you not to book with us. Most of our dogs are dog friendly but we do not allow play dates between our dogs and boarders/ day care pups. My experience : I have worked with countless breeds, sizes and temperaments working as a kennel technician at several facilities with different focuses (ie mass daycare versus reactive dog boarding) as well as having a variety of breeds with different clients ranging from Pugs and Toy Aussies to English Mastiffs and Danes. We spend ample times in the outdoors and my favorite part of every day is the dogs. Over the last 6 years we have been lucky enough to adopt out over 80 dogs to lucky forever homes as well as assist in transports for other rescues and aid in emergency trapping efforts when necessary. Please contact me with any questions! We will be as accommodating as possible.

Autum was so good with our Millie. She was very nervous to leave her family but Autum worked with her to keep her happy and within her comfort zone. Grateful to have used her while we enjoyed family time at Silver Dollar City. Highly recommend.

We went on a family trip with our extended family and had to board our dogs for the first time. After lots of research and reading MANY reviews we settled on boarding with Autumn thanks to the many repeat customers she has had detailing their positive experience with her. We received updates and pictures while we were away and it helped ease our anxiety. Overall our dogs made friends and were well taken care of❤️

She took in my big shepherd last minute over christmas! She and her mother took very good care of him and sent a couple pictures! She has a great setup for the dogs to be outside and inside if it is cold. Overall I was very satisfied and if I am up there again I will be contacting her again for my dog!

Autumn took great care of Goldie. Goldie was happy and relaxed when we picked her up. Autumn also provided pictures and videos of Goldie during her stay so we could see how she was doing. It gave us peace of mind on our trip knowing Goldie was in good hands.

All our runs are fenced in and the integrity of our fencing is vigilantly checked. Each run has a large water trough, dog house and shade structure or topper. Dogs are never left outside unsupervised or during inclement weather but we do enjoy spending a good portion of playtime outside. When temps and humidity are too high in the summer/too low in the winter we use the basement and garage for playtime and enrichment inside and have ample toys, bones and interactive games to keep your dog busy and having a good time!
