About

Nakayla is the owner & operator of Champ STRONG Kennels.  She is from Alvin, SC & has lived in Columbia, SC since 2008.  She is the owner of Champ STRONG, LLC, which started as a t-shirt & apparel printing business in 2017 to raise funds for her Boston Terrier, Champ.  Champ passed away in 2018 & the brand shifted into pet care with Champ STRONG Kennels.  She has always loved animals & felt she could turn that passion into providing quality & affordable pet care.  After 12 years of working on a job where she felt unhappy & unfulfilled, she took matters into her own hands, quit her job in December of 2020 & began operating her business full time in January of 2021. 


Champ STRONG Kennels is a member of & insured by Pet Sitters Associates, LLC.  It is a home based pet care business located about 10 minutes from Downtown Columbia.  For security reasons, the address is not disclosed until services are booked.  It is quickly becoming one of the most popular & affordable pet care businesses in the area providing Daycare, Overnight Boarding, & other pet care services.
