Many people find us while searching for a “dog kennel in Rome, GA,” but Bestland is something different. We’re a warm, family-owned retreat located on a peaceful 40-acre property.

We recommend bringing:

• Your dog’s food (pre-portioned if possible)
• Any necessary medications with instructions
• A familiar item like a blanket or toy

While our facility is surrounded by a beautiful 40-acre farm, dogs are not free to roam the land. They enjoy outdoor time in secure, supervised areas where they can stretch, sniff, and relax safely.

• Fresh food and water
• Plenty of rest in cozy, crate-free spaces
• One-on-one attention from our family

Because we keep a small group, every dog gets the individualized care they deserve.
