Courtney was great! My dog has separation anxiety & is usually freaking out when I get home after being gone all day. But this time, she was calm and happy. She clearly loved Courtney!

Taylor was such an amazing sitter! She gave me detailed updates every time she checked in on the pups. Will definitely hire her again if she is available :)

Keera was great with Archer and went at his pace! I got a ton of updates and Keera was super responsive and gave great updates! Keera was flexible when I was coming home sooner than expected.

Sheana came through when I was in a pinch. I needed someone to let the dogs out because I was stuck in traffic in the mountains. She responded last minute and had excellent communication. She’s the best!

It was our first time leaving Skittles with a sitter, and Daniel did a great job of assuaging our fears! He was super communicative and made sure we knew that Skittles was in good hands. Highly recommend!

Kelli was awesome boarding my two dogs. Not only did she give daily updates with videos and pictures she also worked with them on introducing them to her cat and getting used to her big dogs. Can't recommend enough!

The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Metropolis

Metropolis Downtown

Visit the Metropolis Downtown district to immerse yourself in the center of Superman city. After some fun photos with Fido at the huge Superman Statue in the center, check-in to Harrah's Metropolis Casino for a barktastic sleeping (or gambling) experience while in Metropolis. Pups of any breed up to 50 lbs are welcome to lodge with you for an extra fee per night. Harrah's Metropolis offers its furry guests a special doggy bag upon arrival, which includes a mat for food/water bowls, no grain doggie treats, and poop waste bags. Call the canine concierge to reserve a "Pet Stay" room, which is available for check-in after 4pm.

Metropolis Riverfront

If you want to stretch your paws while in Metropolis, wag to the Metropolis Riverfront neighborhood to enjoy a handful of small parks. The Dorothy Miller Park is a pawpular retreat for folks wanting some peace and quiet. Take Fido for a walk around the paved path as you take in the scenic Ohio River or rest and relax on one of the park benches lining the riverside. If you want to play a game of go fetch, head to the nearby Lincoln Park. This grassy block of land features a small soccer field, separate children's playground, public restrooms and tennis courts for you and Fido to enjoy.

Tender Touxh

Metropolis is a stone's throw away from neighboring Kentucky, so after you visit Superman's hometown, head to Paducah in Kentucky. A short 15-minute drive will land you in the Tender Touxh neighborhood, where Fido will have a ball making furiends with the regulars at the local Paducah Dog Park. Two sections divide up the park based on weight of over/under 35 lbs. Water spigots are available on either side with special motion detectors for when a pup approaches to drink, and both entrances are equipped with degradable baggies for your pup's waste. To top it off, large shelters are on both sides to accommodate hoomans while the pups roam and play!

Fairfield

Traveling or staying in the area for a weekend? Then you and Fido will want to make a pit-stop at the hotel-mania Fairfield neighborhood in Paducah to rest weary paws and feet. Check-in at the clean and friendly Drury Inn Paducah for a pawtastic stay! Two pups are allowed per night for an additional fee as long as they are crated or leashed while outside of the room. If the Drury Inn is booked full, no need to worry; just next door is another pup-friendly option. The Days Inn Paducah welcomes two pups of any size to join you for a small fee per pup, per stay. Customers must call ahead prior to booking to reserve a pet-friendly room. Both the Drury Inn and Days Inn are pawtastic accomodation choices when staying in the Metropolis or Paducah area!

Lower Town

Hungry for some grub? Then leash up Fido and visit the bustling Lower Town neighborhood in Paducah (located on the opposite side of the Ohio River from Metropolis). First up, grab a delicious plate of wings, burgers, crab cakes and more at JP's Bar & Grill. Truly a dog-owners paradise, this restaurant is super pet-friendly and invites your pup to dine with you in their pawsome garden courtyard with a lovely fountain centerpiece. What more can a pup ask for? Come back to Lower Town for dinner to enjoy Paducah's award-winning Porterhouse Steak only available at Doe's Eat Place. Dig your canine's into this bad boy at one of Doe's four outdoor tables. Bone appétit!
