Kathy's Pampered Paws

Kathy's Pampered Paws is a boarding kennel on Hadley Drive in Clarksville, TN, offering dog boarding, dog daycare, cat boarding, and grooming under one roof. Dogs of every size are accepted, from small breeds to giant ones, and reservations are made online. Nightly rates run $35 to $70, depending on the room.

Services and amenities

• Climate-controlled private suites, plus standard 4' x 4' x 4' rooms with a blanket and raised bed
• Indoor/outdoor runs measuring 4' x 16', with a doggie door between the two halves
• Several large indoor and outdoor play yards
• Grooming and dog daycare on site
• Medication administration and special diets for pets that need them

How the days are structured

Play groups are separated by age, size, temperament, and disposition, so a quiet senior isn't turned loose with a pack of adolescents. Dogs who do better on their own can get individual play sessions instead. Every boarding guest gets four outdoor play and potty breaks a day. Bedding is laundered daily.

Cats board separately in deluxe suites, which matters for households bringing both a dog and a cat.
