DOGWOOD CANINE CARE

Pet care is my full-time job! Treat your pups to their own vacation while you’re away and board them with me. Located in Germantown, TN, my canine B&B is a home away from home where your dog is always a VIP. As a dog parent myself, I understand the value of having a trusted caregiver for our furry family members and deliver the peace of mind you need while you are away. I have experience with senior dogs, high energy needs and following puppy training schedules. While I’m new to Rover, I’m not new to doggy daycare & boarding. References available.

We love leaving Shadow with Wendy and her family. Shadow always has a great time, and Wendy is very communicative and loving towards him.

Wendy took wonderful care my Scottie,Archie. Another great thing for Archie was having a playmate and he had the best time playing with her dog, Georgie. I highly recommended Wendy and we plan to have her sit with Archie again very soon!! Thank you, Wendy.
