We had been searching for a place to leave our dogs that felt safe and well tended. We were recommended Bestland by the Bartow Animal Hospital in Cartersville as they were full and it was a great decision! The place is very new (since last November) but they have been highly regarded as a daycare, grooming service, and boarding hostel for when you're traveling. We left our dogs for the labor day weekend and they had such a great time. They even made friends! They did give them a bath too and were nice and clean and ready for us on pickup. There's plenty of yard space and exercise time for them without risk of too much heat. They can be separated if some don't play nice with others, and its gated in multiple ways, which is for animal and human safety alike. There's a really cool playground for them too! Overall, we highly recommend this place for doggy daycare or if you need somewhere to leave them for a trip. The owner is very nice, capable, and experienced too. You wont regret it!

What we love most about Bestland is that our young, energetic pudelpointer doesn’t simply spend time at daycare while we work—Rigby gets to enjoy a full day of his own. He plays with other dogs, splashes in puppy pools, and soaks up the kind of social interaction and exercise he craves. He also tackles agility equipment without hesitation, despite acting at home as though climbing onto the couch unassisted is beyond his physical capabilities. The Bestland team knows Rigby’s personality and play style, what he needs socially and physically, and even who his favorite playmates are. We love hearing about what he and his friends get into together throughout the day. Rigby is definitely a dog’s dog, but he is every bit as excited to greet the Bestland team as he is to see his dog friends. It’s clear that they see the same silly, sweet dog we do at home. There is something reassuring about knowing they genuinely enjoy all the quirky things that make him Rigby. Their Instagram videos give us regular glimpses into this whole little life Rigby has at Bestland with people and pups who know him. It’s also funny to watch him engage in activities he has little interest in at home—like playing in the very nice puppy pool we bought specifically for him. Rigby is always VERY excited to go to Bestland. He knows the daycare-morning routine better than we do and is quite strict about making sure we adhere to it. He follows us around the house while we get ready, eagerly wiggles into his harness when it’s time to go, and heads straight to the door in anticipation of his customary pup cup on the drive from Cartersville. He knows the exact turn off the highway when we’re getting close. Then the window has to come down so he can announce his excitement the rest of the way there. And Rigby comes home exactly the way we want him to—adorably exhausted and content. While we work, he has a daytime outlet for all his young-dog energy, and we get to spend our evenings with the sleepy, snuggly version of Rigby. He is noticeably more settled throughout the week and still has plenty of enthusiasm for weekend adventures with us. We appreciate the practical aspects of Bestland, too, like being able to add a bath when he needs one. It also gives us peace of mind knowing that if we go out of town, Rigby can stay somewhere he already knows and loves. Bestland has become part of Rigby’s world, and that may be the best thing we can say about it. At Bestland, he has his own people, his own dog friends, and a whole lot of fun waiting for him. There, he gets to be completely, enthusiastically Rigby.

Our three large breed dogs stayed at Petland recently. They were very well cared for and very happy when we picked them up.

I want to thank Bestland for taking such great care of my fur baby Piper while we went to a family reunion for 10 days. My little 12 pound Havanese had never been boarded before so I was a little worried about how she would do for such a long time. In addition, she was having some eye issues and had to have several sets of drops a day to each eye Twice a day. Jeremy checked in with us regularly during our trip To let us know how things were going. When we returned to pick Piper up, not only had her eyes improved because they followed her schedule perfectly, but she had the cutest haircut and grooming ever! Thanks so much for taking care of our fur baby!

We had the BEST experience with Bestland Dog Boarding! From the moment we dropped our dogs off, we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such great hands. We’ve never boarded our dogs, so we were very nervous about leaving them for the first time. But they did a short meet & greet at the facility before leaving them there and we were surprised at how at ease they were acting. One of our favorite things was getting the daily videos of all the dogs playing together in the play yard. Our dogs are usually pretty reserved (lab is 8, and border collie is 5) and one of them has pretty significant anxiety around new situations, and other dogs, so we were honestly nervous about leaving them. But every single video showed her happily playing alongside the other dogs, wagging her tail, and looking like she was having the best time. It meant so much to us to actually see her relaxed, confident, and enjoying herself. We also loved that we could check in with the owner anytime to ask how they were doing. He was always quick to respond with updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. When we picked them up, they were completely worn out from playing all week—which is the best sign that they had an amazing time! It’s clear the dogs get lots of exercise, attention, and genuine care. You can truly tell that the dogs here are treated like family. We never once worried about them while we were gone, and that’s priceless. We are so grateful for the wonderful care they received and will absolutely be bringing them back. Highly, highly recommend Bestland Dog Boarding to anyone looking for a place where their dogs will be loved, have tons of room on gated acres to play all day, have them extremely cared for, and have an absolute blast!

Our Margot, is one of Bestland’s pups. She is two years old and a joy for us. I drive from Alpharetta to take her back home to Bestland for boarding. The experience at Bestland is definitely worth the long car drive up and back and i rest easy while traveling knowing she is receiving the best individualized care.

Bestland took my German Shpeherd last minute for July 4th weekend. Jeremy and his family and groomers took the best care of Bo. It was a vacation spa experience for him and allowed him much time to play socialize with other dogs. I will use again and highly recommend. I was grateful that my pet was in great caring people.

Prior to bringing my future puppy home I diligently interviewed and toured more than a handful of places that offered boarding and doggy daycare. Jeremy allowed me to tour his entire facility. It was clean and the dogs in his care were calm and relaxed. They have full service grooming too. I especially appreciated seeing the extra safety precautions in place to keep dogs safe in the bathtub (hands on pet at all times and in the bathtub they were using a waist strap in addition to leash strap). These steps ensure that pets didn't suffer preventable accidents and to me safety is a big deal. At other places the dogs were loud, they were lunging at the cage doors or cowering in a corner but Bestland was different. They match temperaments to ensure safe play and he's out there with them. My dog loves doggy daycare. On daycare days she's so excited to go and she plays so hard that she zonks out for the night in our way home. I highly recommend Bestland Dog Boarding and Resort for boarding, daycare and grooming.

They took great care of of my 2 dachshunds (one 10 yrs, the other 8 mos). They had a great time with lots of play and interaction for both ages. Bestland definitely does not fit your typical boarding (mostly in kennels)! Very nice staff, super responsive, with videos to check on your babies. Recommend 10/10

Our dog had the best week here while we went on a family vacation. She played, got lots of outside time and made a ton of dog friends. We will be using Bestland for every vacation or long days at work! Jeremy was the best and we were so glad our dog was in the best hands. Easy to locate and convenient from our house in Aragon, GA

Just returned home with my dog following her week long stay at Bestland Boarding. Very pleased with how Jeremy handled our energetic, playful dog. I knew that leaving her for a week, I needed an environment that would give her the freedom to run and explore, Bestland delivered on that, whilst also giving individualized attention and pack time for socialization. Bestland is a 1hr drive from my home in Marietta, GA , but worth taking the time to make the drive for the piece of mind this facility gave me.

Meet & Greet

When your dog stays with us, they become part of our family. We intentionally keep our group small so every guest gets the one-on-one attention and personalized care they deserve. This allows us to truly get to know your dog—their unique quirks, favorite games, and daily routines—ensuring they feel safe and loved from the moment you leave until the moment you return.

Getting Started with a Friendly Meet & Greet

To make sure we’re the perfect home-away-from-home for your pup, we begin every new friendship with a quick meet & greet. This is a relaxed, no-pressure visit where we can get to know each other. It’s a chance for your dog to explore our space and for us to ensure everyone will be happy and comfortable together.  Our goal is to first show the families our amazing set up, the suites, paddocks, playgrounds, indoor facilities, discuss our schedules, practices, hygiene, and care.   Next, we desire to learn all that we can regarding your pet, their needs, their likes, and to know and understand all their limitations. We discuss all this to show and discover how to best serve each family.   

Family-Run, With a Dog-Lover's Heart

Bestland isn’t just a business—it’s our family’s passion project. We built this service from the ground up for our own pets first, creating the loving, attentive environment we would want for them. Now, we’re thrilled to open our doors and offer that same peace of mind to you. Because we’re a family-run home, your dog receives consistent, loving care from us. Whether it’s a soothing belly rub before bedtime or making sure a favorite toy is waiting at nap time, our focus is always on the little things that make your dog feel safe, seen, and loved.

We can’t wait to meet you and your best friend

Bestland Is Not a Traditional Kennel, and We’re Proud of It

We understand that many dog owners begin their search with “dog kennel near me.” But at Bestland Dog Boarding and Pet Resort, we offer something better. When you step onto our property, you won’t see rows of crates or hear the overwhelming chaos of barking. Instead, you’ll find a warm, welcoming space filled with gentle routines, peaceful surroundings, and a deep sense of personal care.

Your dog stays in a home-like spacious space with a raised soft bed, and gentle and fun daily routines in a beautiful country setting. Whether it’s their first stay or their tenth, our guests quickly relax into the rhythm of life at Bestland Dog Boarding and Pet Resort.

A Better Boarding Experience

Here’s what sets Bestland Dog Boarding and Pet Resort apart from traditional kennels and large boarding facilities:

Cage-Free Environment

Your dog stays in a home-like space with soft bedding, enrichment toys, and gentle daily routines — no crates or cages.

Peaceful Farm Setting

While dogs don’t explore the entire property, the quiet surroundings and country air help them settle in more comfortably.

dog grooming

Individual Attention

We care for a small number of dogs at a time so each guest receives personal care, not just supervision.

First-Time Guests

All dogs must attend a quick meet & greet before their first stay. This helps us ensure a safe, happy environment for every pup!

Clear Communication

We’re always happy to send updates, answer questions, and make sure you feel confident leaving your dog in our care.

Not All Dog Boarding Is Created Equal

What makes Bestland different from a traditional kennel?

Unlike traditional kennels that primarily use individual runs or crates, Bestland offers a cage-free boarding experience where dogs enjoy a comfortable, home-like environment and plenty of supervised interaction throughout the day.

Cage-free means your dog is not spending their stay in a kennel or crate. Instead, they enjoy a more natural environment with comfortable resting spaces, supervised socialization, and freedom to move about throughout the day.

Dogs enjoy multiple outdoor sessions every day in our large paddocks and play areas. We balance activity, rest, meals, and enrichment to create a schedule that fits each dog’s needs.

Bestland is located on a peaceful 40-acre farm and features six large outdoor paddocks, giving dogs plenty of room to run, explore, and play safely.

Our Adventure Playground is a custom-designed play area featuring equipment, obstacles, and enrichment activities that help keep dogs active, engaged, and mentally stimulated.

 

Many dogs thrive in an environment that allows for movement, social interaction, and comfortable resting areas rather than spending extended periods in a kennel. Our goal is to provide a calm, enjoyable experience that feels more like a vacation than a boarding stay.

Yes. We intentionally keep our groups manageable so our team can get to know each dog’s personality, preferences, and needs while providing attentive care throughout their stay.

The Meet & Greet helps us ensure that Bestland is a good fit for your dog. It allows your dog to explore the property, meet our team, and become familiar with the environment before their boarding stay.

While many dogs thrive in our cage-free environment, every dog is unique. That’s why we require a Meet & Greet to make sure we can provide the safest and most enjoyable experience possible for your pet.

 

Yes we do! We know that each dog is different, so we offer tailored experiences for your pup. Give us a call for pricing at 770-709-8497

Our grooming services include:

  • Full-body haircuts and trims
  • Deshedding treatments
  • Nail trimming and grinding
  • Ear cleaning
  • Anal gland expression (upon request)
  • Soothing baths with high-quality, pet-safe products
  • Blow-dry and brush-out
  • Finishing touches like bandanas or bows (optional)

Simply schedule a Meet & Greet with our team. We’ll answer your questions, introduce your dog to the property, and help you determine if Bestland is the right boarding experience for your furry family member.

Bestland’s Routine:  A Happy Day in the Life of Your Pet**

**Early Morning – Fresh Start**
Your pet wakes up bright and early, stepping outside for a refreshing bathroom break and a good stretch. It’s the perfect way to greet the day with a happy, relaxed body and a wagging tail. Meanwhile, our team is already busy tidying up, preparing a wholesome breakfast, and setting the stage for a day of joy.

**Morning Play & Social Time – 1:00 to 2:00 PM**
After breakfast, the real fun begins! Your furry friend dives into playtime filled with games, cuddles, and positive social interactions. This lively morning session keeps them engaged, active, and grinning ear to ear until early afternoon.

**Rest & Recharge with Dinner – 2:00 to 5:00 PM**
We gently transition into a peaceful rest period. Your pet enjoys some well-deserved downtime in a calm, cozy setting, followed by a nourishing dinner. This quiet window helps them recharge so they’re ready for more tail-wagging adventures later.

**Evening Playgroup & Playground Fun – 5:00 to 9:00 PM**
Around 5:00 PM, your pet joins their integrated playgroup for an extended session of outdoor and indoor fun. Between open-air play areas and comfortable indoor playgrounds, they get the best of both worlds—running, exploring, and bonding with friends right until evening winds down.

**Bedtime Wind‑Down – 9:00 to 10:00 PM**
As the day gently comes to a close, we tuck your pet in for a restful night. Each one receives a special good‑night treat, sending them off to dreamland feeling safe, loved, and content.
