We moved to Nashville in 2004 and toured a bunch of kennels in town. They were all pretty unimpressive, both the facilities and the people working. We had a trip coming up quickly, so we settled on taking our lab to a ""different"" kind of kennel in West Nashville that charged a ton, I guess because the dogs each got a TV(?!) and mattress in their completely-enclosed cells.
Pros: Employees' care for pet and owner, Facilities
Cons: Distance would be it but it's well worth it
