A full day of fun for dogs who love to play

Some pups are perfectly happy napping on the couch until the family gets home. Others spend any alone time at the window and greet you at 6 p.m. with more energy than they started the day with. That second dog is a prime candidate for camp.

Pet Resorts of America runs a supervised day camp in West Nashville where social dogs spend the day running, exploring, and exercising in climate-controlled indoor and outdoor camp areas, while our trained team keeps a keen eye on the fun. Campers return home content and tuckered out, making evenings easier for busy pet parents.

First-time campers start with a Meet & Greet

Every new camper completes a complimentary Meet & Greet — a $20 value — so we can see how they do before a full day in the group. Here's how it works:

Explore firstWe let your dog explore the play area on their own to get comfortable.
One at a timeWe introduce one dog at a time for short, supervised meetings.
Into the groupIf meetings go well, we transition into a play group.
Full reportOur team observes closely, takes notes, and you'll get a report at pick-up.

If camp isn't the right fit for your dog, we'll be honest and discuss other options. Not every dog enjoys group play, and that's not a failing — it just means private play, extra walks, or private pool time is the better call.

Puppy camp in West Nashville

The window when a puppy learns how to be a dog around other animals and people is a short one — and it closes whether you use it or not. Puppy camp is one of the easiest and wisest ways to spend this time.

Puppies are welcome. Like every new guest, they begin with a complimentary Meet & Greet, and we group by size and play style — very small dogs are never placed with very large dogs. Not sure whether your puppy is old enough or ready? Give us a call and we'll talk it through. If they aren't ready for a group yet, we'll say so and suggest private playtime instead.

Overnight camp: stay the night, camp the day

Heading out of town? That's what All-Inclusive Boarding is for. Qualified boarding guests join camp during weekday hours, so your dog gets the full experience instead of a quiet week in a suite. Dogs stay overnight in private suites — most with connected covered outdoor space — then head to camp in the morning.

Traveling with a dog and a cat? One stop — dogs in private suites, cats in our sound-isolated cattery. See dog boarding

Dog camp FAQs

Is dog camp the same as dog daycare?

Yes. It's the same program. Camp is what it feels like from your dog's side: a structured day of supervised group play, a scheduled rest break, and enrichment with a trained team. Call it whichever you like — your dog will call it a good day.

How much does dog camp cost in Nashville?

A full day (6+ hours) is $40, with multi-dog rates and 5-, 10-, 20-, and 30-day passes that save. Every new guest starts with a complimentary Meet & Greet — a $20 value.

Do I need a reservation for camp?

First-time guests complete a Meet & Greet. After approval, current customers can drop in during camp hours without a reservation.

Is there a fee for the Meet & Greet?

No. The Meet & Greet is complimentary — a $20 value. It's a temperament and socialization check required for all new group-play pups.

What happens during the Meet & Greet?

We start by letting your dog explore the play area alone to get comfortable. Then we introduce one dog at a time for short, supervised meetings. If those go well, we transition into a play group. Our team observes closely, takes notes, and you'll receive a report at pick-up. If camp isn't the right fit for your dog, we'll tell you.

What's the difference between a full day and a half day?

A full day is 6 or more hours and includes a scheduled rest break. A half day is 6 hours or less.

Can I watch my dog during the day?

Yes. We offer secure live cameras for our guests, so you can check in whenever you like.

How do you group the dogs?

Guests are grouped by size and play style, and our team monitors groups continuously throughout the day. Very small dogs are never placed with very large dogs. If a dog isn't thriving in their group, we'll move them to a better match — and if they aren't comfortable in any group, we'll typically call so you can decide whether to pick them up.

What if my dog gets too rowdy?

Group play is always owner-approved — we never place a dog into group activities without your authorization. We introduce dogs gradually and watch closely. If a dog becomes disruptive or shows signs of aggression or dominance, we remove them from the group, switch them to private play or an extra walk, and note it in their file.

Can my puppy come to camp?

Yes. Puppies need to be current on Rabies, Distemper/Parvo, and Bordetella, with proof of vaccination before the first visit. Like all new guests, they'll start with a complimentary Meet & Greet. If you're not sure whether your puppy is ready, call us and we'll help you figure it out.

Can intact dogs come to camp?

Dogs 6 months and older that aren't spayed or neutered can't join group play. They're still welcome to board with us, and we can offer private play, extra walks, or private pool time instead.

What vaccines are required?

Rabies, Distemper/Parvo, and Bordetella (every 6 months), plus monthly flea and tick prevention and proof of vaccination before the first visit.

What do I need to bring?

Not a thing. Just bring your dog on their leash and collar. We'll remove them at the play area and store them in a labeled container until pick-up. Toys and fresh water are provided.

Is my dog too old for camp?

Age matters less than temperament and mobility. Plenty of senior dogs enjoy a shorter half day with a mellow group. Tell us more about your dog at the Meet & Greet and we'll find the right fit — or suggest private play if that suits them better.

How tired should my dog be afterward?

Happily tired, not wiped out. Rest breaks between play sessions are built into the day for exactly that reason.

Can my dog camp during a boarding stay?

Yes — that's our All-Inclusive Boarding option, which bundles all-day camp play into the overnight stay. New group-play guests complete a complimentary Meet & Greet first; group play requires spay/neuter for dogs six months and older; and restricted breeds aren't eligible.
