About Us

“It always kind of bothered me that they
didn’t get much playtime…”

As a dog mom, it bothered me that my dogs would be locked up with very little time to roam freely when that’s their normal day. When I decided to open up this dog daycare, I really had that in mind and wanted to do that for other dog parents that felt the same way. For dogs that are used to freedom, they’ll have a place to do that now! We’re excited to welcome your best friend into our care and are looking forward to expanding our services across East Texas. Thank you for your continued support!

Meet John & Tessa Bradley, Owners

Tessa has been building homes in East Texas for over 16 years. John has worked for AEP for over 16 years and is a supervisor for them . But we always knew we would want a retirement plan that combined my love for animals with something meaningful.

Our dogs—Ollie, Jax, and Max—are free-roaming boys who love their independence. Every time we had to board them, it never felt right knowing they’d spend most of their day confined to a kennel and left alone on the weekends. That’s when the idea for our dog daycare was born: a place where dogs are cared for around the clock, 24/7 and where they can play, roam, and relax—just like they would at home! And where parents can pick up their dogs up 7 days a week till 11pm!

When we are not working at our full time jobs, we enjoy spending time together and being with our combined family which consists of 2 daughters, 2 sons , 2 daughter in laws , and 5 grands! We also enjoy camping, traveling, and of course, playing with our boys.
