Overnight Boarding
Your dog stays right on the farm, with plenty of room to play, rest, and settle in like it's their own backyard.
Powell, Tennessee · Family Farm Pet Care
A home away from home — fenced‑in and free to roam.
We're a family farm setting where dogs play in fenced areas, and roam several acres on walks. Dogs play together when their temperaments are a good match — and if your dog does better solo, that's just as welcome. Every visit is supervised by at least one human, always.
🐾 30‑minute check‑ins & walks available

What Pet Parents Say
Happy Tails
Sara was wonderful. She watched our two angels. One of them is an escape artist. Other angel has major separation anxiety, energy and is an escape artist as well. She took wonderful care of them. They did not escape! She was really attentive to their needs. Both dogs adjusted perfectly into her kennel and seemed to enjoy it. She sent me daily videos or pictures of our angels. Thankful to have a safe and happy place to watch over our angels!
Sara was great — really flexible and gracious about my crazy schedule. My pup doesn't like to be left alone and she was willing to take him with her on a quick errand. She lives sorta far away from the city, but her rates were very reasonable. I liked that my dog could get some controlled exposure to a new setting. He seemed calm, but tuckered out.
Sara is wonderful. She has a love of animals like no other. I would trust her with my fur babies anytime. I have watched her with my dogs and they actually gravitate to her. I would recommend Sara for any dog-cat services needed. She will treat them as if they were her own. Excellent services.
