Before your pet's visit, I'd love to learn more about them! Let me know: What brings joy to your pet? Are there any health or behavioral concerns to be aware of? I welcome all breeds, but dogs must be dog-friendly or dog-neutral, over 1 year old and 45 lbs and under. I generally separate smaller dogs from larger ones during outdoor breaks and playtime, unless they're from the same family. With 20 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I've spent 12 years working in animal hospitals, grooming salons, and running my own boarding and grooming business. I've developed specific requirements to ensure a safe and happy stay for your pets. My top priority is providing a secure, enjoyable, and clean space for all animals. We can customize your pet's stay for a positive experience! + Dogs should be reasonably clean at check-in, free of parasites, urine and/or feces, and excessively long nails that could cause harm during play. If you have concerns, feel free to discuss them with me. As a professional groomer, I can address these issues before your pet's stay, maintaining a clean and safe environment for all animals. + Per Tennessee state law, all dogs must be licensed and currently vaccinated against Rabies. Core vaccinations are strongly recommended for boarding (DAPP, Bordetella, Lepto) and though I do regularly clean and sanitize my home, I will not be held liable for any viruses your pet may encounter while here. + Dogs should be kennel-trained or comfortable in a playpen to ensure everyone's safety. Although I'm home the majority of the time, pets will be in designated areas during meal times or when I'm away or unable to supervise (including overnight). Mild barking or whining is normal, but excessive tantrums or escape attempts may suggest my home isn't the best fit for your pet. Sociable dogs will enjoy roaming the house and yard under my watchful eye. + Dogs must be potty-trained, with outdoor bathroom breaks provided every 1-3 hours. I'll help them adjust to the new environment, reinforcing outdoor potty habits. Dogs with indoor marking issues can stay if they wear a provided diaper or belly band. + If your pup exhibits moderate to severe separation anxiety or cannot be separated or left alone, my home is not the best fit for them. + Additional charges will apply if I need to monitor health conditions with medical devices, administer injections or multiple daily medications outside of set meal times. This also applies to dogs that require daily grooming (coat brushing, teeth brushing, ear cleaning). These fees will vary depending on the complexity of care. + Due to the increasing number of pets on raw/refrigerated diets, space may be limited in the fridge and freezer. Please let me know prior if this applies to your pup so I can make sure there is space available. + Any dogs on raw diets must have pre-portioned, ready to thaw/serve meals prior to drop-off to limit my own handling of raw items.

My weekday boarding hours are from 7AM-7PM and weekend hours are from 8AM-6PM. Pick-up's and drop-off's will need to occur during these hours. Any last-minute changes to the pick-up and drop-off time will need to be adjusted within the app. I also offer round-trip pickup and drop-off within a 7-mile radius for an additional fee.
