Home Away from Home Pet Hotel

Tamara started Home Away from Home Pet Hotel because of her lifelong love for animals—especially dogs. When her and her family purchased five acres in Rosedale, she knew she wanted to create something from home that truly reflected her passion. Her vision was to build a kennel with a warm, welcoming atmosphere—more than just a boarding facility, but a true Home Away from Home for dogs. A place where they could enjoy their own little vacation while their owners were away.

To bring this dream to life, she reached out to Community Futures for guidance. They have shown to be incredibly supportive, offering valuable resources and assistance in many aspects of starting a business. With their help, she was able to turn her vision into reality and officially open The Pet Hotel.

They are a small, 12-run facility where every dog has its own individual indoor/outdoor space, complete with cozy beds, blankets, toys, and dishes to make their stay as comfortable as possible. Beyond the hotel, they also have a large dog park where their guests get daily exercise, playtime, and plenty of fun.

At Home Away from Home Pet Hotel, they’re dedicated to providing a safe, loving environment where dogs feel happy and at ease—just like they would at home.
