About Us
About Our Owners
Circle Star has been providing exceptional care worthy of your cherished pets since 2005. In 2017, Michael and Deborah Tansley purchased this beautiful 100-acre ranch. We provide tender loving care to each of our guests and live on the premises for day and night supervision. Our goal is to provide personalized attention and fulfilling activity routines to help them feel right at home. For multiple years, Circle Star Pet Resort has earned the Locals Love Us Award for our outstanding services, staff, and facility.
Our team members have years of pet care experience and have attended multiple programs to further their education through The Dog Gurus courses and IPBSA (International Boarding & Pet Service Organization) class offerings. We are proud to offer the best dog daycare, pet boarding, dog training, and grooming services to dogs in Athens, Tyler, and Lindale, TX, and beyond.
