SPECIAL CARE
SPECIAL PETS
Tender Loving Care Pet Nursing Hotel is a cozy, boutique retreat for pets with special needs. We lovingly care for anxious, blind, deaf, senior, mobility-impaired, and recovering pets—giving them the extra attention, patience, and affection they need to feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.
At TLC, we understand that big, noisy playgroups can be overwhelming. That’s why we focus on gentle, one-on-one care in a calm, home-like setting where every pet can truly relax.
We offer Enrichment Daycare, Overnight Boarding, Training, and Baths—thoughtfully tailored for dogs and cats who need a softer, more personalized kind of care.

Pet Parent Testimonials

Our cats had never boarded before. They are older, and very set in their ways. We have tried pet sitters in the past, but they didn't provide the level of care needed. We had a 9-day trip planned, and decided to try TLC. I am so glad we did. The kitties' accommodations were so fun and comfy, and they had plenty of room to explore. I received a report card each day, with photos, so I knew exactly how they were doing. I had been so apprehensive about boarding them, but TLC went above and beyond to make sure they were safe and loved.

Both of my parents were in the hospital for extended periods. TLC cared for their beloved dog for five weeks. They were exceptional. TLC supported us in every way. They accommodated the dog's special diet, gave her a tremendous amount of love, and even took her to the vet for us when she needed some vaccinations. I highly recommend TLC. We would certainly use them again if needed.

My two four-footed family members are Jordie, a Chihuahua mix, and
Snowball, a domestic longhair cat. Both were adopted at Helping Hands Humane Society. TLC has been a wonderful resource for our family. Jordie is a regular grooming client. He thrives on all the attention and support at the grooming center and comes home to strut around the house, admiring himself in any mirror nearby.
Snowball, Jordie's sister, is somewhat shy but loves attention. She and her brother Jordie make quite a pair getting into mischief every day.
On occasion I have boarded both Snowball and Jordie at TLC. They received loving care from TLC staff who worked with them. The TLC staff always spend time with both animals and provide a caring environment when they are away from home.
Thank you, TLC, for your ongoing love and care of my four-footed family Snowball and Jordie.

TLC is amazing! My dog Ducky has been going here since 2021 for doggy daycare and boarding! Enrichment is great (Ty is AMAZING), and they were amazing as Ducky went blind and needed extra care and eyedrops. The front desk ladies and gents are the sweetest and will take care of everything you need. TLC is just the best place for your pet! I promise!
