About Us

Not A Kennel. A Place Your Dog Actually Loves.

SJ's Dog Boarding was built on one idea: your dog should have a better week than you do. Sarah and the crew keep playtime unlimited, socialize the dogs who want company, and give the quiet ones room to settle. Set on a gorgeous secluded country property in Morrison, we board dogs from all over Middle Tennessee.

Real love for the dogs. Sarah and her crew are known for treating every dog like one of their own, from the anxious first-timers to the wild ones.
You are never in the dark. We send photos and videos through the week so you can see exactly how your fur baby is doing while you are away.
Room to actually run. Big shaded outdoor yards on a secluded country property, not a concrete run and a 20-minute walk.

What We Offer

Everything Your Pup Needs While You're Away

Boarding, unlimited play, around-the-clock care and updates you can actually see. All on a secluded country property.

Spacious indoor kennel suites with dogs settled in for the night at SJ’s Dog Boarding in Morrison, TN

Overnight Boarding

A comfortable, clean spot to sleep after a full day of running. Whether it is one night or a few weeks, your dog gets their own space, a real routine, and plenty of company.

Around-The-Clock Care

Someone is on the property day and night. Late arrivals, early pick-ups, midnight potty trips and restless first nights are all covered, because dogs do not keep office hours.

Unlimited Playtime

We do not limit playtime and we do not charge extra for it. Your dog runs, plays and socializes in big shaded yards all day, then comes home genuinely worn out and happy.

Pick-Up & Drop-Off

We will collect your pup and bring them home again, so boarding does not have to eat into your travel day. Just ask when you book and we will sort the timing with you.

Daily Photos & Videos

You get pics and videos through the week, not a silent kennel and a shrug at pick-up. See your fur babe playing, napping and being ridiculous while you are away.

02
Step 02

Plan The Details

Tell us how they eat, what they take, and how they are with other dogs. We build the stay around your pup, not the other way round.

03
Step 03

Drop Off Or We Collect

Bring them out between 7am and 5pm, or ask about pick-up and drop-off and skip the drive entirely.

04
Step 04

Watch The Updates

Photos and videos land while they run, play and settle in. Then they come home happy and completely worn out.

Best place to board a dog who likes to be outside and active. SJ and her staff are very attentive to all of the dogs. She sends videos at least 2-3 times/day, so you can see what you pup is up to! The indoor kennels are spacious, clean and no dog odors! We have been boarding here for the past 2 years and will not go anywhere else. We drive 1.5 hours each way to board our dog here!! SJ's is the best!

SJ's Dog Boarding has been great for our dog, Diesel! The entire staff is so friendly and flexible. Diesel loved his time there and probably would've rather stayed there with all of his new friends! The fenced in areas are large with lush grass and in the shade!

SJ’s is the only kennel we consider for boarding our Border Collie and Cavalier King Charles. We had tried 2 kennels in McMinnville before a friend introduced me to Sarah Jane - what an improvement! At SJ’s, our dogs get to be social with other well behaved pups, we get daily picture/video updates, and the dogs come home pooped but not stressed. Highly recommended!

Sarah takes great care of my best friend Jack whenever I have a trip out of town! Plenty of space for the pups to play around so he's always active and gets lots of energy out! Sarah is always on top of communication and sends photos/videos throughout his stay. Highly recommend!

I am so incredibly grateful I was referred this facility! Sarah was great with communication, even taking a call while she was out of town with a two hour time difference, unfortunately waking her. She is professional, courteous, and detailed. She mentioned she was taking her first vacation in years for her birthday but that her staff would be available any day or time for questions. They were great! I love also that they have cameras. The fenced areas were very clean and the property was well- maintained. I love how much outside time the dogs are given. When I arrived, her staff was professional and very personable. We received videos daily. The way she integrates dogs into their new environment was brilliant. I felt very comfortable leaving my German Shepard here and will definitely return!! I will also be referring her to all of my friends. 💥We even drove an hour to board here as it was highly recommended. Thank you, Sarah!! I feel I have a new friend in you! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🇺🇸

FAQ

Everything you need to know before you book

From what is included to what happens when you are not home. Your top questions, answered straight.

Do you limit how much playtime my dog gets?
Never. Unlimited playtime is included in every stay at no extra charge. Your pup spends the day running and socializing on fenced country grass instead of waiting in a crate for a scheduled walk.
Is someone there overnight?
Yes. Somebody is on the property day and night. Our 7am to 5pm hours are the window for drop-off, pick-up and phone calls, not the hours your dog is looked after.
Will I get updates while my dog is with you?
Yes, and it is the thing dog parents mention most. We send photos and short videos through the stay so you can see exactly how they are settling in. Most people tell us it is what finally let them relax on their trip.
Where are you located?
We are at 5916 Pleasant View Rd in Morrison, Tennessee, on a secluded country property in Warren County. It is a short drive from McMinnville, Manchester, Woodbury and Murfreesboro.
Do you offer pick-up and drop-off?
We do. We can collect your pup and bring them home again, which takes the drive off your travel day. Call us to check availability for your dates and your town.
What if my dog does not get along with other dogs?
That is completely fine and more common than you would think. Dogs who would rather keep to themselves get their own space and their own play time. Tell us how they are with other dogs when you book and we plan around it.
Can you give my dog medication?
Yes. Medication schedules, senior dogs and anxious dogs are all part of a normal week here. Bring it labelled with clear instructions and we keep to the timings exactly.
What vaccinations does my dog need?
Dogs need to be up to date on their core vaccinations, including rabies, DHPP and bordetella. Bring a copy of your vet records at drop-off, or ask your vet to send them over beforehand. If you are not sure whether your dog is current, give us a call and we will talk it through.
What should I bring for my dog?
Bring their usual food, measured out for the length of the stay, plus any medication with clear instructions. Keeping dogs on their normal food avoids an upset stomach on top of a new place. You are welcome to send a bed, blanket or a favorite toy if it helps them settle in. Everything else is here.
What if I need to change or cancel a booking?
Let us know as early as you can if your plans change. Holiday weeks and long weekends fill up well ahead, so an early call frees the space for another family and keeps your dates open for you next time. Call (615) 818-7300 to change or cancel.
