The owner brings more than 14 years of experience in the animal care industry and describes running the establishment with a God-centered approach, treating every guest as a member of an extended furry family. The crew aims to create a home away from home for pets, whether for a day of daycare or an extended stay, and treats each animal as they would their own. Boarding stays are scheduled in advance based on availability, staffing, and existing reservations, and requests to extend a stay must be approved before the scheduled pickup date. Failure to pick up on the scheduled departure date without prior approval may result in an unscheduled extension fee of 10 percent of the reservation total. The facility has been recognized as a finalist for Best Boarder 2024, a back-to-back Best of Alabama Regional Winner, a Best of the Best Shelby Living Winner, and the number one Best Rated Dog Day Care by Quality Business Awards.
