Our Story

Tender Loving Care Pet Nursing Hotel opened in May, 2020 in Topeka, KS just as the Pandemic was taking hold of the country. 

At that time, people were not traveling or going into the office. Despite the circumstances, TLC survived the trials of the pandemic and is honored to have been voted the “Best Place to Board a Pet” in 2020 and 2021!  

Tender Loving Care Pet Nursing Hotel is unique.  A luxury pet hotel, located in a single-family home, it has been renovated and designed specifically to care for your pet as if he or she was still at home. Our Team is on-site 24/7 to make sure their every need is being met. 

But what really differentiates TLC from other pet facilities is the emphasis we place on caring for pets with special needs. Say your dog doesn’t play well with other dogs, TLC is for you. Maybe you have a new puppy or kitten or your dog suffers from anxiety and needs one-on-one care, TLC is for you. If you have an older dog who is less mobile or requires a specific medication regimen, TLC is perfect for your pet. These special needs are real and we love making sure each of our pet guests get the customized care they require. 

TLC is famous for sending Daily Report Cards with photos to pet parents giving Mom and Dad an update each day. Treat Time is at 11am, 2pm and 7pm. Dogs are walked every 2 hours and our professional Pet Cuddlers are making the rounds several times a day. 

This same level of personalized care is provided for our other services as well including:

• Daycare
• Dog Enrichment Classes 
• Pet Massage
• Pet Reiki 
• Concierge Transport
• Palliative Care & Counseling

Tender Loving Care Pet Nursing Hotel is operated by its Founder, Leslie Fleuranges, aka Comforter-in-Chief. Call (785) 329-6141 or stop by for a tour, we are proud of what we have created.
