WILL NOT BE BACK. I just moved here and wasn't able to get real world recommendations so I relied…read moreon yelp to help me find a spot for my dog. I was told that my dog WOULD NOT be allowed in "group play" being that he is over 7 months and not neutered. I took him to the vet to get the vaccinations required to be at daycare. At first I was happy to hear that an accommodation could be made for my dog to interact with humans and get out for some potty breaks. I only needed 3 hours to take an exam. I brought in his breakfast and came back 3 hours later to get my dog. When I walked in his food was still out in the lobby.... The employee or owner (unsure) who greeted me asked who I was there to pick up. I told her my dog's name and she said "wow he hasn't been here very long. I haven't gotten a chance to meet him yet." I thought that was bizarre... then what was he doing? 2 days later I received his "report card" which included the photo I posted below. My dog was in fact in group play. Not only could he have gotten another dog pregnant... he came home with kennel cough. Another vet bill later he is okay.... But still. What on earth are they doing in there? How many other "accommodations" are they making that aren't kept?? Maybe another dog didn't need to get a bordetella vaccination and that's how mine came home with it? I don't know but a 30$ stay for 3 hours (including the price to just make an account) plus over $300 in vet bills later. I'm not happy and would never recommend this facility to someone. I truly hope no one came home with puppies because I know that is a lot more than $300. PSA if your dog stayed here on July 14, 2025 they may also have kennel cough or be pregnant.

I had my dog boarded at the dog stop maybe 4ish times. What I initially liked about it was the add…read moreons they had. My dog can't play with other dogs so I liked that he got to do something fun each day. One time I picked him up and he was covered in pee - which tells me they were not giving him enough chances to go to the bathroom. Not to mention, he was supposed to receive an exit bath which clearly didn't happen. I had to throw out everything and immediately come home and bathe him. They also forgot to send home his medication. I spoke with the owner, he apologized and offered a free exit bath next time. Since they still had his meds I decided to give it one more chance. I dropped him off for boarding and when I went to pick him up no one was at the front desk so I waited. I could hear someone screaming in the back and loud banging noises. Finally she came up to the front desk sweating and looking disgruntled (like she was just yelling at dogs). She saw my face of shock and she put on a smile and was overly nice and complimenting me. She went to go get my dog and when she was in the back she AGAIN started yelling and banging on something telling the dogs to "shut up!!!" I got my dog and left asap. She is not the type of person you want to leave your dog around - her anger towards them was scary. Dogs bark - that's just how it goes. There was nothing to make me believe the dogs were doing anything wrong other than barking because she was primarily yelling at them to shut up and be quiet (as if that would help). DO NOT BOARD YOUR DOGS HERE! You have no idea how they are being treated and if she would do that knowing someone was standing right on the other side of the door - what would she do when no one is watching?

I was quoted $65-$75 for full groom for 7 pound Yorky poo. I know it's my own fault that I thought…read morethat it would be on the lower end of the $65-$75 quote, because he has been groomed before, was not matted or dirty, he's very good and it doesn't take long to do him. When I picked him up, I was charged the $75 rate plus tax which was 81 something and when I said why so much he said "well we quoted you it's $75,,,, plus tax ,,,,Tennessee tax is 9.25% and that makes it $81." Thank you, sir. I had no idea. He was catty, which is totally not necessary from the owner (he said) and the person taking your money. While I was waiting for my dog, I walked around and looked at some of the merchandise, and everything was dusty ~ on the shelves, the jars of merchandise, everything. It was pretty dirty in there. The machine where you run your card had dust all over it. I understand it's a dog place, but you can dust off your credit card machine and especially the merchandise if you want customers to buy it. All in all, the haircut was OK. And his nails had been clipped and maybe buffed because they were not sharp and ragged like another place we visited. Did not leave feeling good about this place. Note: I have no problem with the tax or the Revenue service! Re-read the review ~ or don't. But don't make it out like I am complaining about the tax. My issue is the price ~ BEFORE tax ~ and the attitude of the employee and the lack of cleanliness. To reiterate ~ even though I was quoted $65 to $75 for my dog, I should have known they usually don't charge the lower amount. Done.

She was there for 10 nights and came home so hoarse from barking and had lost a lot of weight. They called me while I was in the middle of the ocean saying she had kennel cough. She's had all her vaccine and has allergies. They were about to put her in isolation at the vet next door. We paid for cuddles and play and I don't think she got either. The weight loss really bothered me. Losing a pound or two for a dachshund over a month or so is huge but after one week is BAD! I do not recommend this place at all.

This is a GLORIFIED SHELTER. It wasn't at all what we were expecting and we actually feel pretty guilty for leaving our two puppers here. We definitely won't be bringing them back. We got the "Luxury Suite" and requested they be given toys for their stay (you click the options when you use their obligatory curbside pick up. You are not allowed inside to see where your dog is staying. This was a RED FLAG I wish I'd paid more attention to). We used the Live Webcam sporadically through their stay and saw they were never given any toys! None! Not for nearly two days! They just laid there, bored out of their minds. I'm not sure how they are selling the "luxury" part of this scam, either; your dog is staying in a shelter-like kennel, surrounded by other dogs. Potty breaks are very spaced out (5 hours apart) and minimal--they weren't let out after 4:00 PM!! I am completely flabbergasted at the services offered, their stay in no way reflected what we were led to believe our pups would experience. We got our pups back and it was clear they'd also had minimal human contact the entire time we were gone; we watched on camera during pick up as they went crazy for attention when someone came to pick them up (not at all characteristic of them). They stank like a shelter and have diarrhea and are exhausted from not sleeping (surrounded by constant barking the whole time, just like in a shelter). It's as if we took them to the Animal Shelter for the weekend, not the resort-style experience we thought we were purchasing for our fur babies. Our dogs were there for less than 48 hours and it cost us almost $250!!! We were quoted a price MUCH lower when we dropped them off and they didn't apply our veteran discount, even though we discussed it on the phone. USE ROVER.

I've been taking my pup here for day camp, boarding and grooming since April 2019. I found it to be…read moreone of the nicest pet facilities in Knoxville -- it's very clean, there's decent outdoor space for the dogs and it looks nothing like a shelter. For day camp, the dogs get two, hour and half play periods (separated by size) which might not be enough if you have a young dog with a lot of energy, but of course it's better than nothing. Camp spaces can fill up really fast; one of my biggest gripes with this place is that you really need to book in advance - especially for Friday spots. If your schedule stays the same and you know it in advance, then it shouldn't be a problem for you. However, that isn't the case for my husband and I. Because we need to book week by week, we are often unable to use Petsafe for day camp and have to use a different place. As for boarding, there's no where else I'd rather leave my dog for a weekend or long trip. Again, the rooms are really nice and they offer lots of different options, with add-ons like special treats. I love the webcam for checking in on my pup too. One thing I don't like is that there is no camp on the weekend, so no interaction or play time with other dogs. I usually pay extra for my dog to have a VIP season aka one on one time with the attendant so he doesn't get too bored. I also don't like that you can't call on the weekends to see how your dog is doing. In general, the phone system is so bad there that often you have to call multiple times before you get through. It is easily my biggest frustration with the place. Finally, the groomer is great. She's given my dog the best hair cuts he's ever gotten. So overall, you can expect to have a good experience here. I know my dog loves it and I know he's in good hands whether I'm at work for the day or traveling for the week.
