Miss Kitty’s Dog Resort

The story of Miss Kitty’s Dog Resort is pretty simple. It all started because I had a hard time finding quality care for my beloved Pomeranian, Miss Kitty. Time after time, I was reluctant to board her because I could never find a dog boarding facility I felt was good enough for a member of my family.

At the time, I was a licensed veterinary technician and certified professional groomer in Nashville, ready to start my own business. With the help of my late husband Jimmy, Miss Kitty’s opened in Nashville during the summer of 1991 as a full service dog grooming salon. Clients loved our property and location and soon started asking if we could board their dogs. We knew then that Miss Kitty’s was meant to be more than just a salon.

Four years after opening, we moved to our current location and then later expanded our dog boarding and dog daycare property to serve thousands of Nashville’s finest pups. We are proud to say we are cage and leash free! And every guest enjoys fresh air in our large outdoor space with green grass, shade from big pine trees, and plenty of sunshine.

I am a true pet lover, and at Miss Kitty’s we believe dogs are members of the family. Our staff members are carefully picked and go through a thorough orientation before they are hands on with any of our guests. While your dog is here they will be spoiled with belly rubs, face-time, constant attention, and socialization with their friends. We believe we have the best dog daycare and dog boarding environment in Nashville. We wouldn’t leave our dogs anywhere else! Why would you?

Our Namesake

From 1955-1974, red-haired actress Amanda Blake played a tough but big hearted saloon owner named “Miss Kitty Russell” on the western TV series, Gunsmoke.

Gina named her first dog, a feisty, tiny, red-haired Pomeranian, Miss Kitty after Blake’s character on the show. Thus, our mascot and Miss Kitty’s Dog Resort’s namesake was born.

While the original Miss Kitty passed away in 1993, a new Miss Kitty came to join our family in March of 2019. She is an avid Nashville Predators fan and loves to be cuddled.

Guest Reviews

“We are so thankful for the kind, professional, and compassionate care given at Miss Kitty’s. Not only do they give the best baths, they love dogs unconditionally. Our dog Elmo is cared for 24/7 including administering his allergy medicine in the afternoon and a giving him his favorite cheese snack before bed.”
