Dog Boarding Athens

“Kallie was very sweet and used good judgement when exposing my old girl to her pups. Pippa was very content and happy at pickup. I would recommend Kallie to watch your pup 🐶”

“Lyndsey was great with Libby. She was very responsive after my initial request, to discuss whether her home would be a good fit. It was easy to arrange a meet and greet in advance, and made me more confident in leaving Libby for a week. She really made Libby feel comfortable, even allowing her to take over her toddler bed. I received daily photos and updates, which were very much appreciated. Would recommend and use again in the future. Thank you for taking care of my girl 😊”

“I can't say enough great things about Aric! He gave us all the confidence that Whiskey's visit would be great - and it was! Convenient area, great rate, and fantastic care! We will definitely use Aric again and recommend him to family and friends in the Athens area!”

“Deree and her husband were wonderful with our English bulldog, Parker! She’s not even a year old, so it meant a lot knowing they took extra care with her and paid attention to her needs as she can be very hyper at times and needs some re direction. I felt completely at ease the entire time knowing she was in such good hands. I forgot to pack enough food for the second day, and they stepped in without hesitation to make sure she was fed and well taken care of, which I really appreciated. Their yard is nice and fully fenced in, making it a safe and fun space for the dogs to play. Parker clearly had a great time she slept the entire day when she got home! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our girl. We will definitely be using you again!”

“Shannon was loving and caring towards our pups. She sent daily pictures and even gathered the babies a bath before we picked them up. So happy with her service and care.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 15 years — starting with my own and growing into a trusted home-away-from-home for others’ pups too. Over that time I’ve cared for everything from bouncy puppies learning the ropes to senior dogs on daily medication, so I’m comfortable adjusting to whatever your dog needs. Every dog who stays with us gets fenced acreage to roam, a steady daily routine, and plenty of family time — plus photo updates so you always know they’re happy and well cared for. I’m a homeschooling mom, which means your pup gets lots of company throughout the day! A typical day starts with an early morning outing to run around and go potty, then breakfast, followed by lots of in-and-out playtime throughout the day. We wrap up with dinner and a calm bedtime routine. Your fur baby will get plenty of socialization, playtime, and snuggles from our family all day long — they won’t just be boarded, they’ll be part of the household. Your dog will have their own climate-controlled space, separate from our other animals but fully visible to them — so they can watch (and be watched by!) our cats, chickens, mini donkeys, and our own fur babies from a secure, fully enclosed 6-foot no-climb fence. Dogs stay in their kennels overnight, and for occasional breaks throughout the day depending on weather. Please bring your dog’s kennel, leash, and food dishes for their stay. If your pup needs medication, we’re happy to administer oral or topical meds for a $5/day fee. And if you’d like some extra peace of mind, I’m happy to send daily photo updates during their stay!

About: I have experience with pets of all ages, including energetic puppies who need consistency, basic training reinforcement, and lots of playtime, as well as senior pets who may need a slower pace, medication, or extra care and comfort. I’m very attentive to routines and will stick closely to your pet’s normal schedule to help reduce stress. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I love being outside and spending time with animals. I enjoy going on walks, playing outside, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise throughout the day. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any specific care instructions. I also make sure pets feel safe and relaxed by giving them lots of love, supervision, and a calm environment. I enjoy being outside, so walks and outdoor play are something I really enjoy doing with dogs.

“Great communication and photos! Very thankful for you watching cooper and keeping him safe and feeling love!!”

Stephanie S.

“This was a great experience. She was available last minute and provided dog food when I forgot to bring ours. Our dogs had a great time interacting with other dogs in a safe and monitored environment.”

Carrie M.

“Cynthia and her husband was amazing! They were able to take care of pur dog and ferrets last minute (with only a 5 minute warning if that 😅) and made them feel right at home. Our dog Molly and our ferrets get super stressed when we leave them home so we took them on vacation with us but we needed someone to take care of them while we did activities and Cynthia did not hesitate taking them- even on a Saturday. Molly went right to them with no problem and no hesitation- she fit right in and didn't seem stressed or sad at all when we got her back. Cynthia communicated very well and even sent pictures of Molly and our ferrets and they looked like they were right at home and happy as can be!!! Way better than the daycares that have at least 10 other dogs and usually stick the dogs in a concrete kennel most of the day. You can tell Cynthia and her husband loves animals and cares for them and the animals can sense that. I counld not thank them enough for making their schedule work last minute and for caring for my babies as their own!!!! 🩷”

Kimberly G.

“She was great! She communicated well and was very accommodating when I needed her to keep Eris a little longer at the last minute. I really appreciate her flexibility and would definitely recommend her!”

Hannah P.

“This was our first experience with boarding our cat. Sharon, was extremely friendly and welcoming to us and our cat. Sharon sent us daily updates and multiple photos letting us know how our cat was doing. Hands down the best you will find to watch your animals. Highly recommended!!! We will definitely use her services again!”

Brian W.

“So nice & accommodating, & my dog was clearly happy with her "new people" when I picked her up after a week. For a sec, I almost thought she wouldn't want to come home!”

Ashlea R.

“Ruth and her husband provided excellent care for my dog while I was away. They have great knowledge about dogs and offered a wonderful home away from home for my pup. Highly recommended.”

Stephanie Z.

“My Cali is very Happy and Brittany is awesome. She’s very loving with my fur baby. Cali for sure will be coming back to stay at Brittany’s house. I recommend her 100 %.”

About: I was an accredited dog trainer with Petsmart. Now I am a veterinary assistant in school to be a veterinary technician. I have kennel experience and I foster dogs from rescues and shelters. I begin my new job July 6th so I am open to board/house sit/train. I will be working 8am-5pm at the local animal shelter as the veterinary assistant. So I can also train dogs after work. I was the dog trainer at Petsmart I also worked home health care for many years. I was a cna for 16 years prior to switching to dog training. I had a change of heart and decided to change to the career I wanted to do the most which was work with dogs. I am a dog trainer and we can do in home training or meet at the park for training. No flexi leads we can use a 20 foot training leash if having room to run is an issue for you.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 10 years and regularly care for the pets of family and friends. I truly love animals and enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, so I treat every animal as if they were my own and give them the same care, attention, and affection I’d want for my own pets. After all, pets are family. My schedule is very flexible as a part time server and college student. I’m generally available every day before 4 PM, and I often have evening availability depending on my work schedule. I’m happy to work with pet owners to find times that fit their needs and can accommodate most requests with advance notice. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a safe, stress free environment. I have a very friendly dog who loves other animals and can provide a crate if needed. I follow each pet’s routine, respect their individual needs, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care while their family is away.

“Smokeybear did well. Christina took very good care of him. I could tell she loves all animals and treated Smokey as one of her own pets. He seemed very happy after his stay there Thank you Christina.”
