“Carola was wonderful to work with. Our puppy was loved and cared for and we appreciate how kind and accommodating Carola was. We had a great experience!”
“First time with Ken (and Leslie), just recently moved to TN. The meet and greet we went very smoothly, Brooklyne took to them right away. Then came out first stay.. Ken provided pics and comments to keep me posted and both myself and Brooklyne were at ease and she enjoyed her stay. Already have our next visit scheduled! Highly recommend Ken to ANYONE wanting premium care for their fir baby!!👍🤗”
“Dusty loved spending the night with Cassandra. She sent me lots of pictures of her and made sure she got all of her medicine since she had an injury on her knee. I'll definitely use her again in the future.”
“I’m always anxious leaving my dogs with someone new/ you never know what they’ll experience while away from home. Lori definitely set my mind at ease and was kind to our pets and treated them like her own. We will be using her again.”
“Lorna is an absolute blessing to watch Jasper on short notice so I could attend a funeral for my brother. Jasper was not his normal good boy during his stay which breaks my heart because she was the only one I trusted him with overnight :-(”
“Great and reliable sitter she accepted my request day of and took great care of my little Rosie. Will definitely be rebooking again and recommending.”
“Haley was great with my dog. She provided updates along the way and was super flexible when I needed to delay picking my dog up. Very professional and sweet. I would definitely book her again!”
“Sheryl was able to keep our Cane Corso very happy for several days while we attended a funeral out of town. She came to meet him prior to his visit to her house and got to know him. She was totally used to dogs and expected his “I don’t know my own size” puppy attitude. She made it all very easy and updated with lots of pictures and communication to ease our minds about being away from him. I will definitely be using her for all of my dog boarding need from now on!!”

About: We have been boarding dogs in our home for almost 2 years. We fostered dogs before that, and we have owned dogs our entire lives. I am a stay-at-home mom and my husband works full time from home, so your furry best friend will be in good company while you're gone. We strive to make your dogs stay as smooth as possible with a consistent routine and ample play time. We have 2 dogs that have their own space, but like playing with others if that's something your dog would be interested in. Dogs in our care have free range of the main living area in our home. They are allowed on the couch. We crate the dog(s) when no one is home and at night for bed time. We try to keep feeding schedules the same as yours and we have a fenced in lot. Dogs are let out very frequently and given lots of play time. Our house is clean and safe. The crates are sanitized between dogs. All dogs in our care must be good with children, crate trained, and good with other dogs.

“Natalie and her family provided an excellent environment for my dog. He was comfortable from the beginning and I felt good about him staying while I was away. Natalie provided daily updates and pictures which I appreciated. I plan on using Natalie agian and recommend her services.”
“I know my pup is having the best time with Simon. He helps take away any worry and makes sure it’s a vacation for the puppy too. Definitely will be rebooking!”
“Danielle took great care of Piper and Gracie, and adjusted her schedule to fit my hospital procedure. I felt comfortable leaving them in her care.”
“Lilly was so wonderful! She took such great care of Buddy. She sent updates with pictures and a video! ? We would definitely recommend her and will be asking for services for Buddy again.”
“Absolutely amazing with our pups! We drive 45 minutes (one way) because we have the utmost confidence that our girls are more than taken care of. Outstanding care and the communication is excellent! I highly, highly recommend Bryan & Jessica to watch over your pups. I trust them implicitly.”
