Health, Safety, and Cleanliness Standards
At Pet Resorts, we take health and safety seriously. Every dog entering our facility must be current on required vaccinations, which protects not only your dog but all other pets in our care.
Required vaccinations for boarding and daycare:
- Rabies (current, administered by a licensed veterinarian)
- Distemper/Parvo (DHPP or equivalent, current boosters)
- Bordetella (Kennel Cough vaccine, administered within the past 12 months)
- Puppies must have completed their full vaccination series before joining group play
We also require that all dogs be on current flea and tick prevention to maintain a clean, pest-free environment.
Our cleaning protocols go beyond what you might expect from a typical kennel. Staff perform multiple daily cleanings using pet-safe disinfectants, and bedding is laundered routinely. Accidents are addressed immediately to maintain a healthy, fresh-smelling environment for all guests.
Facility safety features include:
- Controlled entry with secure check-in procedures
- Perimeter fencing designed to contain even determined escape artists
- 24/7 monitoring with regular overnight wellness checks

Enrichment, Group, & Individual Play Opportunities
Boarding at Pet Resorts means your dog isn’t just waiting for you to return—they’re staying active, engaged, and happy. Our add on options allow overnight guests to participate in group or individual activities that prevent boredom and support your dog’s physical and emotional well-being.
Our supervised play areas include both indoor and outdoor spaces, giving dogs room to run, explore, and interact with other guests. Dogs are grouped by size, age, and temperament to ensure every pup has a positive experience. For dogs who aren’t suited for group settings, we offer solo or VIP play options where they receive dedicated one-on-one time with staff members who understand their needs.
Whether your dog is a high-energy athlete or a laid-back senior who enjoys a gentle walk and a sunny spot to rest, we tailor their schedule to fit their personality.
Safety and Supervision in Playgroups
Every group play session at Pet Resorts is supervised by trained pet care professionals who are educated in canine body language and safe handling techniques. We never leave dogs in a group setting unsupervised. Our staff actively monitors interactions to ensure all pets remain safe and comfortable.
Before joining group play, each dog undergoes a temperament evaluation. This helps us understand how they interact with other dogs and allows us to place them in appropriate playgroups. Dogs who aren’t social or who show signs of stress in group settings will be better suited for individual play.
Enrichment, Group, & Individual Play Opportunities
One of the advantages of choosing Pet Resorts is the convenience of having grooming and training services available right on-site. Your dog can go home clean, refreshed, and even better behaved than when they arrived.
Our full-service grooming menu includes everything from basic baths and brush-outs to complete spa treatments. Whether your dog needs a nail trim or a complete groom, our groomers have the expertise to make them look and feel their best.
Grooming services available during boarding:
- Baths and Brush outs with gentle shampoos and conditioners
- Nail trims and ear cleaning
- Full haircuts and breed-specific styling
- Teeth brushing and freshening treatments
We also offer training add-ons for clients who want their dog to work on skills, tricks, behaviors, leash manners, or obedience during their stay. Our trainers customize each session based on your dog’s individual needs. Please reach out to our trainer prior to reservations to discuss details.
Training options during boarding:
- Basic obedience commands
- Behavior modification
- Leash manners
- Socialization
- Fun tricks
For busy Knoxville pet owners, this means one stop for boarding, grooming, daycare, and training—saving you time while providing comprehensive care for your dog.
Cat Boarding and Multi-Pet Families
While dogs are our primary focus, Pet Resorts also welcomes cat guests in our quiet, separate cat boarding area. Cats enjoy their own climate-controlled space away from the sights and sounds of dogs, reducing stress and helping them feel comfortable during their stay.
Our cat accommodations include cozy condos with comfortable bedding. Each cat receives fresh water, scheduled feedings, and daily interaction with our caring staff.
- Individual condos away from dogs
- Climate-controlled condos with comfortable bedding
- Includes solo playtime in the cat playroom with perches, obstacles, and toys
- Ideal for multi-pet families needing one convenient location
Required Vaccination for cats:

We also require that all cats be on current flea and tick prevention to maintain a clean, pest-free environment.
If your family includes both dogs and cats, Pet Resorts simplifies your travel logistics by caring for everyone under one roof. Ask about our multi-pet considerations when you book.
