Nestled on a historic farm, our journey began in 2013. By 2014, we started welcoming dogs into our pet care family, and in 2016, Camp Happy Dog was born—a dog daycare filled with love, care, and mountain magic, where we also offer dog training to ensure every pup thrives.
From their very first blind date in April 1995, Malcolm and Kay knew they were a team. A few short months later, they were married, embarking on a life journey together and filling their home with joy (and muddy paws!) from their beloved dogs. As they navigated life, Kay dreamed of returning to the mountains where she grew up. After retiring from teaching, that dream began to take shape. They found a home in Coker Creek, Tennessee, where Kay enjoyed the serenity of the mountains while Malcolm continued his work travels. Eventually, when they settled in Murphy, North Carolina, they knew they had found their forever home. Inspired by the beautiful mountain community and her deep connection to her church, Kay wanted to serve this community in a meaningful way. Combining her lifelong love of teaching with her dog training experience, she decided to open a dog daycare and training center. Here, dogs are not just guests; they become part of Auntie Kay’s family, receiving the best in pet care while their owners are away.
As a former school teacher, Kay spent years caring for other people’s loved ones. Over a decade ago, she channeled that passion into the canine world, mastering dog training, behavior, and safety. Known affectionately as 'Auntie Kay,' she provides elite pet care that you can trust:
- Certified Dog Trainer: Pat Miller Level 1 Graduate (via Murphy's Cold Nose College)
- Certified Pet Care Professional: Dog*tec Dog-Walker & Pet-Sitter
- Safety First: Certified Pet-Tech First Aid & Canine CPR Caregiver
Backed by Malcolm’s unwavering support and Kay’s expert credentials, our dog daycare facility offers the perfect blend of mountain fresh air, structured play, and total peace of mind. When your dogs are here, they are family.
