Trained Police Dogs

I have raised and taken care of dogs since I was a young teenager. Have dog sat for family and friends for many years as they have for me. I recently retired from law enforcement in 2021 in Plant City, Florida. I worked with a police K9 "Tarco" for four years and supervised the police K9 teams for 18 years after that. I have two dogs in my home that are dog friendly and enjoy companionship. I watched many dogs in Florida before moving up to Tennessee for a shared Florida/Tennessee life.

Dale is amazing and has a beautiful home! Bear was super excited to be back as we are repeat customers. His pup is also very cute and gave Bear great company :)

Dale and his wife took great care of Mason and Bonnie and they seemed to feel right at home. They got along well with Dale’s dog and another dog being boarded.

Dale was a great host to Cooper! Cooper felt right at home along with Baxter. They gave Cooper lots of love and TLC. We look forward to boarding Cooper with Dale again soon!

This was Nico’s second time staying with Dale. He loves it there. He’s probably wondering when he can go back. Thank you Dale for your care and communication of my boy while we were away.

Amazing! Highly recommend. Dale was very friendly and I will definitely be using his services again. He sent adorable pictures throughout my dog’s stay which I really appreciated. 10/10!!

At this time I'm available to be home more often than not because of my recent retirement from a 28 year career in law enforcement in Florida and just work part-time as does my wife Lori. We have plenty of walking paths to take our guests for walks.
