He is now 14yrs old and they take him to grandma's house for boarding as she will take small senior dogs. He seems to do great each time and keeps a peace of mind for us when traveling. The great thing is on the boarding they allow your dog to play during the day in the play group with other dogs. They post pictures daily, which is great to see. No extra fees for the playtime. With as many pet owners in the area we have been fortunate to get our dog into the boarding as needed. I would suggest booking in advance to secure your spot especially during school holiday time.

We have a 10 month old mini Aussie Shepherd. She needed a full grooming. The Aussie breed has an…read moreundercoat and fur. Thus, you have to be careful when grooming them because you could damage their undercoat and fur if you use mechanical trimmers. We picked PPPS because of the positive yelp reviews. We booked our pup for an appointment. PPPS uses text to communicate with you and the communication is excellent. PPPS needed vaccine records and many additional details to make sure it was safe for all the other pups at their location. We dropped off Zoey and spoke with the groomer (Bree). Bree was very aware of how to properly groom an Aussie. We had a brief conversation about what we wanted and believed Zoey was in capable hands. When Zoey was done, we got a text to pick her up. I was greeted upon arrival and Zoey was led out to me right away. Zoey looked fantastic!!! Bree groomed her exactly the way we had discussed. Zoey looked even better than I had hoped. I gave Bree a $20.00 tip. When I brought Zoey home and my wife saw her, my wife loved the grooming. My wife's only complaint was that I should have given Bree a bigger tip. I will fix that the next time we bring Zoey in for a groom.

Yardstick is my puppy's favorite place! We consider ourselves extremely lucky to have found such a…read moregreat doggie daycare spot to drop her off at on a weekly basis - especially in a city where many kennels have waitlists just for an initial interview. I scheduled a tour in advance online, and received a very thorough explanation of the Yardstick difference. There are three different play areas for small, medium, and large dogs. During a regular daycare visit, your dog gets a short break in their own kennel area around midday, before jumping back in for afternoon play. An all-day daycare visit will run you $45, and they do offer a trial day for new guests for $25. The entire facility is cute and clean - but I have to say it's the customer service that stands out most. The Yardstick team sends me adorable (and detailed) photo updates throughout the day, reinforcing that I've left my fur baby in excellent hands. Every time I drop my dog off, they greet her by name and genuinely seem excited to see her. Big thanks to the entire Yardstick team for taking such good care of our pup! We'll continue to bring her by as often as possible for some of the best doggie daycare in town!

He's a unique dog, and for a while we weren't sure we would ever find someone who could effectively and safely handle him, but Grace was able to not only speak his language - but also safely integrate him into walks with other dogs and help muzzle train him. She quickly became his favorite person and was one of the only people he trusted. Grace went beyond the walks and basic training and would sometimes ask if she could take him overnight to get him used to being around different dogs (hers) and people. He always loves these sleepover and has learned to better read other dogs and communicate as a result. Our boy has come a long way, and we owe so much of that to Grace and Lucky Dog!

We had to find a kennel in a rush because of an unexpected situation. We called all the kennels we…read moreknew of but they were full, so we went looking at the "unknowns". This turned out to be the perfect place for our dog. Jeff and Grace keep great control over the animals, and keep the numbers way down. Our dog was unsure of herself for the first day or so, but quickly joined the pack because I believe she felt very safe at this place. Great big fenced areas to play in, and best of all communal sleeping on furniture! She felt right at home. Highly recommend this place. You can see her airborne flying with the pack in the second photo!

Here is a review of boarding dogs insPet Resorts of America in Nashville after some reflection…read more Make sure you differentiate between reviews of day care vs boarding when you read the reviews. To be fair, I will discuss both the positives and negatives. Positives: This business offers an option to board your dogs in the Nashville area that has, at least, a little bit of exposure to the outdoors. There are not many options close to the city. The most positive aspect of the kennel is the quality and friendliness of the staff. Negatives: I think this business is overshadowed by thinly veiled deception. The pictures on the site show dogs swimming in pools or playing in outdoor spaces. One needs to dig to discover that this kennel only guarantees to put your dog in a kennel with two undefined "walks" a day. To have your pet play with other dogs or swim in the pool, you must pay for each experience per day. Be sure to take a walk in the facility before committing your dog to stay there. A walk in the compound will reveal countless unhappy dogs barking at you for attention. This reminds me of visits to maximum security prisons. I dropped my dogs off and they were quickly overheated. This was on a Thursday. On Friday, I wanted an update of their health and a picture of them in the pool or play area. There was no response. If you check the kennel hours and times for staff response, they are highly restricted. The prices for putting your dog in a hot kennel with minimal interaction is $69 per day, per my experience as the base line price. I find this overpriced. Then they charge additional fees for things like playing with other dogs. I found this practice to be deceptive and insulting. I will never return to this facility. I can only thank the kind staff who work in a deceptive, potentially harmful, business model. Pet Resorts of America Nashville should be ashamed to be a business. You have the opportunity to do much better.

Our lab, Chloe, had a small cut to the side of her eye. Our dogs adore each other and there is literally no way that they got into a fight with each other.

We will NEVER use this place again. Google won't let me add a photo of Dukes face. Adding it to yelp review.

When issues come up (not eating for a few meals, etc), they're proactive in letting you know something might be up with your dog and including possible solutions. One of the very best parts is that Fitz always smells clean when we pick him up - we've taken him places before and he would come home smelling like dog. I can't recommend Yardstick enough!

After spending a good deal of time reading the policies on their website, we booked a tour for our…read morepup who has separation anxiety. We had a great tour and were very upfront that he is unaltered because of this and our vets concerns that it would make his anxiety worse. So we have been going regularly to get his medication balanced to get him is a better place to be neutered. During the tour we were told, that was ok and they would simply restrict his group play to other little boys. While I understand why they would wish for dogs to be fixed, I hardly see the concern when the dogs are spending the night isolated alone in a suite. So long story short, call and get verified information from a manager before you go tour, and waste time doing the registration process.

I'm heartbroken and furious about what happened to my dog at Southpaws (1315 8th Ave S, Nashville)…read more I trusted them with his grooming on April 10, 2025--something I've done before. When I picked him up hours later, the groomer casually mentioned he had swallowed "a very small piece" of a toy. No one had called to tell me. They claimed it was no big deal and described it as only a few inches. Fast forward two days--my dog was violently ill. I rushed him to the emergency vet (Blue Pearl), where they discovered a full stuffed giraffe toy, larger than a water bottle, lodged in his stomach. Emergency surgery was required. He's now recovering with pain meds, a cone, and crate rest. The vet bill? Over $7,000. The owner admitted fault and promised to "make things right." First, she claimed she didn't have insurance. Then, when I involved an attorney, she suddenly said her provider would reach out. That was over two weeks ago. Still no word. Just delays, excuses, and a complete lack of accountability. This level of negligence is unacceptable. If you care about your pet's safety and your peace of mind, I urge you to reconsider before bringing them here.
