River Dog Inn

We love coming to this place. It is a big enough open field for small doggies on one side and bigger ones on the other! Great place if you are single to meet all kinds of wonderful people . And also to socialize, bringing the dogs is just an excuse to get together with friends. This is Marvin, Sheba and Bob! Say hi to them if you see them. Marvin is not little any more and everyone at the park is watching him grow .

I wish I could give them 100 stars! Kathy and the team at River Dog are the most caring and patient boarding facility we have ever used! They truly care for the well being of your dogs and go above and beyond to make sure they are properly cared for. I can't say enough good things about River Dog! They are the best!!!!!

Wow, I have never met a more caring owner/staff. Our dog had a poor experience at a different doggie daycare, and coming here was the BEST decision we could have made!! They were able to offer daily reports on our pup and she had a great experience when she boarded there, as well. Maggie is high energy and honestly difficult at times, but they handled her so well! They all knew her by name quickly. I could give story after story of how helpful they were, but I will just select a few. 1. Our dog had some issues going to the bathroom due to her long hair one day and needing groomed. Long story short, the owner gave her a sanitary trim without being asked! 2. I had a few last minute scenarios where Maggie needed boarded at the 11th hour, and they were always caring and happy to accommodate. 3. They shared which toys Maggie liked so we could purchase them. 4. They cared for Maggie like family! I cried when we said our goodbyes!! They also took interest in us, which was so kind! If you are in Memphis and need a doggie daycare-look no further. Seriously, we had the very best experience and are so sad to be moving to another state because we no longer get to be patrons of this establishment! We will miss River Dog Inn and cannot praise them enough!!!

I don’t have enough great things to say about all the lovely people that work here. Kathy and the entire staff are so accommodating and helpful. My little dude Calvin has some separation and fear issues and Kathy did a full walk through with him to set up the right environments so that he could enjoy coming here and be with the right sets of dogs. I end up having to travel a good bit and it gives me peace of mind knowing I can leave my dog here where he’ll be happy, safe and well cared for by everyone. The webcams are great to keep an eye on your pups, and it’s also nice that River Dog does weekend playtime so you don’t feel quite as guilty when you have to leave them behind many others in the area don’t. Highly recommend for your boarding and daycare needs!

I can't recommend River Dog highly enough! When I first got my mini Aussie, I was living in an apartment, so it was pretty much necessary for Atlas to have somewhere to go every single day. And I could not have gotten luckier!! Kathy and her team are kind, knowledgeable and patient. They truly understand dogs and LOVE THEM. They treated Atlas as if he was one of their family pets. One time I was running late to pick him up, and I walked in and, since he was the last pup waiting to go home, one of her staff members was training him in the lobby! Atlas is a super smart boy and he LOVES training, but he has pretty significant anxiety around people. To see him thriving and learning with someone who wasn't me warmed my heart, and showed me just how much time and care they were taking with my boy. Without fail he was ecstatic to walk in the door every morning at River Dog! Even after he's stayed for two weeks while I was out of the country, he had no hesitation running right back in to play the next day! The cameras gave me a lot of peace of mind but more importantly, even when I was traveling for work or working late, I felt close to my puppy! Seeing him run and play with his puppy friends made my day every time! When I was caught in a pinch and Atlas needed a place to stay for an entire month, there was no question where he would stay, and he was happy and well loved the whole time. Atlas takes medication and I have complete confidence that they were diligent in administering it. They also sent me adorable pictures and videos of him and his nighttime routine I want to especially note that even during the early days of the coronavirus crisis, Kathy and her team were amazing! They did an amazing job keeping everyone safe and healthy while still helping socialize our pups. I cannot highlight enough how reliable and kind the folks at River Dog are. Atlas started there as soon as he had his vaccinations, and it is where he learned how to be a good canine participant. They handled his tough adolescent months with grace, love, and support. They helped me raise my pup to be extremely well socialized with other dogs, and I consider them part of my puppy family!

River Dog Inn is the best! Our puppers, Sydney loves it there. She comes home happy after playing all day. I feel like the staff know and love my dog and that’s important-they are always helpful and accommodating. Love the cameras, love the suites for boarding. Recommend to any and all!

River Dog Inn is a Memphis treasure! I have used this business since they first opened. It’s conveniently located, and has a staff of THE most caring people. I’ve used ALL services they offer - including grooming, doggie day care, and boarding. I have 3 dogs of varying sizes 1 is a small Maltese/Yorkie mix, 1 is a Belgian Malinois, and 1 is a husky mix. All 3 dogs love River Dog Inn! I cannot say enough nice & great things about this place. One of my favorite things is video access. You have access to the app to check-in and see when the dogs are playing. I love that the business is so transparent, and you are able to check in on your pups throughout the day. My dogs always come home tired from a full day of play, and it makesme happy to be able to check in on them to see them playing throughout the day. The entire staff is so loving & caring, and I always feel better knowing the dogs are in good hands. I truly hope this place is around for a very long time. If you are looking for place to groom, board, or leave your dog for day care, please consider giving them a try. I am SO thankful I did.

I have tried several day cares in Memphis and River Dog Inn is my favorite by far! The staff is great and they give the dogs lots of attention. My pup Oliver is very high energy and taking him here a few times a week helps him burn some of that energy off and socialize with other dogs. He gets so excited when he knows he is going to day care!
