Pet Paradise Murfreesboro

Pet Paradise Murfreesboro is a dog boarding and daycare resort at 2500 Rideout Lane in Murfreesboro, TN, and it boards cats as well. Dogs of every size are accepted, small through large, and the suites are climate-controlled. Reservations go through the website.

What they offer

• Overnight boarding for dogs and cats, including private suites
• Day camp with indoor play areas and outdoor space
• Grooming and training on site
• Webcam access, including a Pet Cam Suite with an always-on video stream
• Accommodation for pets on special diets

What sets this location apart

A lot of the property is built around water and outdoor time. There is a bone-shaped swimming pool and a splash area, plus water play and misting stations for hot afternoons. The play yards are shaded and have covered porches, and play groups are supervised and sorted by size and activity level, which matters if a dog gets nervous around bigger dogs.

The rooms vary more than they do at most kennels. Options include private outdoor patio suites, a Grand Patio Suite built for large dogs or for families boarding more than one pet together, and a VIP Patio Suite with premium bedding and an HD streaming TV.

Practical details

The resort is open 6:30 AM to 7:00 PM Monday through Friday, and 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Saturday and Sunday, so a weekday drop-off can happen before work. Published rates run from $32 to $122 per day, depending on which room a dog stays in and what gets added to the stay. Owners book online, and the phone number is 615.257.4250 for anything the site does not answer. The facility also keeps active Facebook, Instagram and YouTube accounts if you want a look at the place before committing.
