Tatiana was amazing. This was the first time ever my pup stayed away from home and I must say I was worry free during my whole trip. Tatiana sent daily updates on how he was making out along with photos of him. Def recommend and will book again.

Tina took care of our mini poodle over a holiday weekend on short notice. Our dog is a little nervous in new places but Tina got her settled in and was happy to give our dog her own space. She has a great yard and her dog is very friendly!

Victoria was absolutely amazing and I would recommend her to all of my pup parents! She scheduled a meet and greet prior to the boarding and she was very accommodating to my busy schedule. She was communicative during Loki’s stay and even sent photos which I appreciated.

I am unable to express the gratitude for the care and love Teriana gave me little Scarlett. This was the first time I have had to leave Scarlett and it was stressful. Teriana sent me everyday updates, complete with pictures of my darling. I highly recommend this sitter. She has a passion for what she does. Thank you.

My first time leaving Maui with anyone but family, and my longest trip away from him! Every worry I had about that was put at ease right away. Jacob took great care of him and I couldn’t be happier.

About: I have 2 big grown “puppies” back in Atlanta with my mom. A German Shepard and a big baby Husky. Able to walk big dogs. Been doing boarding since 2017 for students in Clemson when they are going on trips/vacations. what sets me apart is my deep passion for animals and years of experience in pet care. I pride myself on providing personalized attention to every furry friend, whether it's training playful puppies or offering gentle care for senior pets. My dedication to creating a safe and nurturing environment ensures that each pet feels right at home. Trust me to go the extra mile in making tails wag and hearts purr! work from home flexible schedule. Each morning, I kickstart the day with feeding, exercise, and playtime, setting the tone for a day filled with joy and activity. Throughout the day, I maintain regular check-ins and provide companionship, ensuring that pets feel loved and cared for at all times. In the evenings, I wind down with calming activities, such as walks or cuddle sessions, fostering relaxation and comfort before bedtime. Whether it's weekdays or weekends, pet care remains a top priority, and I'm dedicated to making every moment count for our beloved companions. Will be able to do potty /walking break every 3-4 hours. at least 4 walks per day. In my home, pets enjoy ample space to move around, and I live in a dog-friendly neighborhood with plenty of outdoor areas for exercise. For well-trained puppies, there's an unfenced playground where they can play safely. In my client's home, I maintain routines and provide updates for peace of mind, ensuring pets feel at ease and happy wherever they are.

Rover has delivered positive sittings for sure, but this one really felt like the perfect experience. It's important that we leave our dog with someone who is pet experienced, and has the right amount of time & a safe setup. But in this case, not only is the house nice/roomy with a large backyard, but also it authentically feels like Jennifer and her daughter & husband are enjoying the experience as well. I feel like dogs respond to genuine affection, and that makes all the difference for us. Jennifer took pictures of her husband comforting Moose, and gave us stories about her daughter sleeping with him in her arms. This makes us want to give him this delightful experience everytime we are forced to travel without him, if possible. Tonight he is sleeping like a baby ever since we got home, likely because of the exciting time that he has had in the last few days Thank you Jennifer for keeping him so entertained while we were gone!

Anthony and his family did a great job with my dog Max. He sent me updates and pictures while I was out of town so I was very confident about the care they were giving my little dog. Max was happy and playful when I picked him up, not at all nervous or anxious or mad because I left him. I will definitely use Anthony again and I’m happy that I found him.

I’m so grateful for you Douglas F. You took Ommy when I needed someone quick. You sent me pictures of the walks you took him on both day and night. You also sent me pictures of him playing or napping in between those times. The continuous contact comforted me and let me know Ommy was in good hands. Thank you!

Thank you Tracy and Brian for taking such good care of my two puppies! The pictures and videos from you while they were in your care were the icing on the cake! I could see how well you cared for them and kept them busy playing! I loved the "indoor pet play area"! They will definitely be returning!
