The Inn Crowd Wears Collars

Every pet owner knows the moment. The suitcase comes down from the closet shelf, and somewhere across the house the pet stops napping, lifts an eyebrow, and launches a silent guilt campaign that would make a country preacher proud. A vacation doesn't really start until the worrying stops. In Maryville, Brewster's Bark & Bed has built an entire business around making that happen, with care that lets owners enjoy the beach.

That care starts with the building itself. The 5,700-square-foot facility was custom built with pets' comfort in mind, right down to a dedicated ventilation system that keeps the air fresh and relaxing music that keeps the mood somewhere between spa and Sunday afternoon. Dog boarding guests get roomy accommodations with space to run and play, while cat boarding offers feline visitors the calm, unbothered retreat they'd insist on anyway. For pups whose people work long days, dog daycare turns a lonely afternoon on the couch into a full social calendar. Then there's grooming, which sends four-legged clients home fluffed, trimmed, and smelling noticeably better than they did when they arrived. The team's guiding idea is simple: every guest gets individual attention, whether they're checking in for playtime, a few nights' stay, or a full spa day.

It's that blend of thoughtful design and genuine affection that's earned Brewster's Bark & Bed their 2026 Best of Tennessee Award. Blount County families have learned that the hardest part of leaving town isn't packing anymore. It's convincing the dog to leave at pickup. These pets get a getaway of their own, with clean air, good tunes, and a team that knows how they like their ears scratched. Some vacations, it turns out, are worth taking on four legs.
