We do not offer boarding services in our own home or facility, instead, we are an in-home pet service provider. We take care of the pet(s) in the comfort of your home where they will feel most comfortable in their space and normal routine. If you prefer a boarding option, we do recommend two great places in the Dickson area: K9 Station and Stay Golden.

We found Kelli shortly after moving to Dickson about 4 years ago and she has been a joy to work with. She and Chris take such great care of our boy and he genuinely loves them so much! When we travel, we never worry that our Finn isn’t being looked after because we know Kelli and Chris are taking the utmost care of him! I just cannot say enough great things about how excellent they are at their jobs!

I hate leaving my pets when I go out of town, but knowing she is caring for them puts my mind at ease. She is incredibly dependable all of my pets love her! She even takes the time to learn how to baby the janky doorknobs in my 100 year old house so they won’t accidentally blow open and let everybody out. That means more than I can say! I highly recommend Kelli, the Dickson Dog Mom, for all your pet-sitting needs! 😊

I’m pretty sure our pup is disappointed when he sees us coming home from a trip, because he is always to spoiled by Kelli. 12 out of 10 recommend Dickson Dog Mom every time!

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kelli and Chris are the absolute best in the business. They spoil our dogs (and dragons) even more than we do. Our home is always better than we left it and we get tons of video and picture updates while we are gone. Honestly I think the pets are upset when we get home because they prefer Chris and Kelli more than us now.

She takes the time before hand to get to know your individual pets and their specific needs, diligently administers any medication, sends copious photos during her stay, and just overall gives a level of professionalism and comfort to any vacation away. #veryblessed!

What is your preferred method of communication?

Touch base with us via text first and we will always respond as quickly as possible and make a plan for next steps if needed.
You love your pets, and so do we.
Hey, we get it! They’re our best friends, and sometimes they’ve got to be left at home while you’re busy at work or relaxing on vacation.
Do you ever feel like this?
- Guilty for leaving your pet home alone all day
- Worried that you can’t find a trustworthy person that will love and care for your home and pets the same way you do
- Anxious that they’re destroying the house or making a mess in the kennel
- Rushed to get home on your lunch break or after work so they can eat or use the bathroom instead of taking time for yourself
- Fearful that they’re unsafe at home without you
- Concerned that they aren’t getting the exercise and stimulation they need by missing their daily walks

In-home pet care is what we do.
We believe that in-home pet care is the absolute best way to care for your furry friends. If dogs who aren’t used to boarding or daycare are forced into it, many of them feel social & separation anxiety, lack of appetite, fear, and poor physical and mental health upon your return.
In-home pet care is the solution! We come to them in their own comfortable environment. Whether you’re gone for a long day of work or enjoying a family vacation, you’ll feel relief knowing that your pets are taken care of.
So go ahead… attend that Happy Hour after work with your friends… Book that vacation you’ve been putting off for months!
