I can not recommend Tammie’s dog service enough. We were in town on vacation and needed a doggie daycare for our sweet Marshmallow. Owner Tammie was very friendly and helpful. Prices were very reasonable. Staff member Bob went above and beyond in caring for her even after hours due to unforeseen circumstances. Our family would like the thank the whole team for their personal and professional care of our little girl

This was our first time. I am very pleased with the service and care they gave my Shichon, Halo. He’s got some crazy hair and when I picked him up, he looked great. Misty took a lot of time with me before pampering my pup and made sure she understood the look I was going for which I appreciate. I’m sure there’s a lot of pressure with customer service, but from my first phone call to walking out the door after his pampering, I had nothing but excellent customer service. Misty shared she even got some kisses from Halo while she was grooming him, which means she made him feel comfortable.
I really appreciate it! Thank you- we will definitely be back!

Tammie’s has been amazing for our dog! Everyone there is so friendly and personable! Our dog Khloe LOVES going to daycare! Misty the groomer is absolutely phenomenal! Khloe is so soft and fluffy! Her cut was the best she has ever had! We are so happy that we have found a one stop shop for our dog that truly cares about the pets needs.

I have always enjoyed being around dogs. Learning how to communicate with them and train them. I have been involved in rescuing & training dogs for over 10 years in my community. I earned my Karen Pryor Certificate in Teaching Positive Training. Watching the transformation is just amazing results. I just do not offer training. I also offer Daycare & Boarding at my facility.
My Promise:
I promise to make parents happy with their dog. Life with a dog can be challenging and having the right skill set to help you get through your fur baby's life. A better bond and correct enrichment techniques to correct your dogs bad behavior all help to achieve that goal.
