Illustration of a dog and young girl by a pool. The dog is smiling with a blue scarf and the girl has heart-shaped sunglasses, overalls and is holding an ice cream cone. Another dog is swimming in the water.

Admittedly, it’s tough to leave my son — er, I mean my beagle — when I head out of town, but it’s a lot easier when I’m checking him into Yardstick. Billed as a premium dog hotel providing “five-star accommodations for four-legged friends,” Yardstick offers fantastic boarding and day care facilities at their three Nashville-area locations (East Nashville, West Nashville and Berry Hill). Dogs are housed in their own “suites,” and you can even add on spa and room service amenities. (Think nail trims, bathtime, puppaccinos and peanut-butter-filled toys.) The staff is attentive, kind and generous, with regular photo updates throughout your pup’s stay. Only the best for our good boys and girls, right?
