Doggy Day Care in Cloudland

“Took great care of Simba and always sent updates throughout the day!”

“Sadie’s friends Beau and Bella (black labs) we’re visiting and we needed day care for the week. Bobbie Jo was the perfect solution. She took such care of them and her property was the absolute dream place for the pups. They were tired and happy when I picked them up. She spoiled them so much I was worried they would want to stay!! Plus Bobbie Jo is a wonderful delight. I will always depend on her for taking care of my fur babies. Thank you Bobbie Jo!!!!”

“Lauren and Hunter are amazing! Abbi loves to go play. They are kind and very accommodating. Abbi is always happy and well taken care of every visit. Now I don’t want to use anyone else!”

“Champ had another awesome stay with Chelsea and her adorable family. He loves them all and we do too! So happy to have them in our lives. Champ is an only dog so not only are we relieved to have such a great option for sitting, we are so happy he has a great new puppy friend to play with! He comes home happy and tired!!”

About: I’ve had dogs all of my life! I’ve looked after, cared for, and loved many friends & family members dogs over the years. I have a cat now that chose my home as her home & she’s a big part of our family! I love all animals & believe they deserve love, respect, & exceptional care because I know they aren’t just pets but a crucial part of the family! I work from home so I’m here all day, I have a big yard for walking, playing, and frolicking! I can accommodate your pets needs I can keep your pets in my home or at yours. I have plenty of space to create if need be or they can run free! We can cuddle and play or they can nap just let me know and I can definitely adapt!

“Sara was incredible! She responded to communication quickly. Her home is so clean. The yard is fully fenced. She had a calm and reassuring manner with my 2 young Cavachons who were extremely nervous since they have never been separated from me for more than a few hours since I work from home. I could not have been any happier and will definitely have Sara watch my girls again once our move to the area is complete.”

“Tom is great! Super friendly and easygoing. You can really tell he loves animals, which makes you feel totally at ease leaving your pup with him!”

Gabi K.

“It was very reassuring to have someone look after Sabre who would help keep the structure we are working on with her training. Parker sent videos of her playing with his dogs and they were doing great. Very glad to find them.”

Ashley W.

“I had needed to head to Atlanta on pretty short notice to retrieve my license which was found in MBS. I was very thankful Anthony was able to keep Penny again. Anthony had sent pictures of Penny during her stay which I appreciate very much. Although it was only Penny's second time with Anthony, this girl looked like she made herself right at home! I highly recommend Anthony to care for your fur babies!!”

About: Growing up in Sydney, Australia, I spent my summers helping pets beat the heat by shaving and bathing them—a skill I learned early on while grooming my mother’s purebred Shih Tzus and raising puppies. My passion for animals didn’t stop there; I volunteered at a local vet clinic, gaining hands-on experience that would shape my future. In college, my love for animals and creativity merged when I trained my dog for a short film that placed 4th out of 80 student projects. Now living in Georgia, USA, I run a small farm and bring a lifetime of pet care expertise to the table. From fostering kittens to rescuing strays, I’ve always had a heart for animals. My experience spans the spectrum of pets—from dogs and cats to reptiles, rodents, and even farm animals like goats, pigs, chickens, and ducks. I’ve cared for them all, and my home has always been filled with the love of a pet. What sets me apart? Whether it’s caring for a senior dog, socializing a shy cat, or giving special attention to a reptile, I’ve done it all. My unique background and lifelong commitment to animals make me more than just a pet sitter—I’m a dedicated caretaker who ensures every pet feels right at home. I run a small art business from home, providing me with a flexible schedule. I am available all day, every day, to accommodate your pet care needs. Detailed care requirements should be discussed in advance to ensure I can meet all your pets' specific needs. Feel free to reach out to discuss how I can best support you and your furry friends! How Do I Keep Your Pet Safe in My Care? (My home) First things first, I’ll introduce myself and send you a list of important questions. Once you answer them, we’ll have a detailed chat about any concerns or questions either of us might have based on your responses. From there, we’ll determine if I’m the best fit for you and your fur baby. If we’re both happy with the outcome, we’ll proceed with the booking. I’ll take notes and create a personalized care plan tailored to your pet’s needs and safety. We can also arrange a meet-up or a face-to-face video call—whatever makes you feel most comfortable. Or, if you prefer, we can do the meet-and-greet on the day of drop-off. Boarding in My Home I provide pet care in a controlled and secure environment. I can supply beds, crates, bowls, toys, leads, and even collars if needed. The only thing I require you to bring (aside from your furry friend!) is their food, as switching diets can upset their stomach. For Dogs: On the first day, I introduce boarding dogs to my home slowly. I allow them to explore in a calm environment while everything stays quiet, giving them time to acclimate. They’ll have access to comfortable beds, fun toys, and a fully fenced yard to enjoy. I only board one client’s dogs at a time to avoid mixing unfamiliar dogs, which could pose a safety risk. If you have multiple dogs from the same household, let me know, and we’ll schedule them together. This approach ensures each dog gets my full attention. During walks, I carry compressed air and, in serious situations, mace to protect your dog from aggressive animals. For Cats: When boarding cats, I set them up in my quiet, sound-tight office to help them settle in. I give them at least 10 minutes of alone time to explore before gently introducing myself. Every cat adjusts at their own pace, and I provide them with as much time as they need to feel comfortable. Just like with dogs, I never mix cats from different households. If you have multiple cats needing boarding, I will schedule them together, but I never double up on different clients’ cats to ensure their safety and comfort. ⸻ My Commitment to Your Pet’s Safety I provide a secure, comfortable, and loving environment for your pets. My goal is to ensure that both you and your pet feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while they stay with me. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out—I’m happy to chat!

About: I have over fifteen years in personal pet experience. I love all animals & I will spoil your dog like they were mine and give them lots of lovins! I am also a very reliable person and will send you selfies and pictures of your dog all the time. It would be a pleasure to work with any of your pups and they would be in great hands! :) The schedule depends on the dog and their usual routine at home. Whether we are at my home or doing drop in visits, I will make sure that the full attention goes to making sure they are fed, taking good bathroom breaks, and enjoying life as much as they can while their owners are away! Every day is different, depending on the dog themselves, but my priority is safety and happy tail wags! If your pup is okay with roaming in a free environment, I am comfortable with this, and would prefer to make sure I am able to stay at home with them to ensure their safety, even if this means ordering takeout every night while you are away! I have plenty of space to make sure they feel loved and not abandoned if we need to keep multiple dogs separate. I do not own a cage, unless asked specifically, in which case we can make arrangements!

About: I’ve grown up my whole life around animals, we had 2 Great Pyrenees and 2 Pitbull/Mastiff Mixes. I absolutely loved caring for them and playing with them. I dog sat all throughout highschool into college and now that I’m settled down in my own house I’ve realized how much I miss it! So I’m getting started on Rover hoping I can help care for your pups when you aren’t able to while doing something I love! I have a toddler and a 1 year old Blackmouth Curr/Terrier mix named Nala. Nala is the absolute sweetest and thrives around other dogs. I do ask that for boarding that your pup is good around other dogs and children! I’m currently a stay at home mom to my toddler and my pup! So I have the free time to be able to help with yours 😊 I have a very large fenced in yard and lots of room to take dogs out for walks and to play! If I am sitting or walking at your home I always make sure to keep notes as to what rules you have or what your pups routine is.

About: Hey there! My name is Jen, and I would love to take care of your babies for you! A bit about me: I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician of 10+ years, with the majority of my experience being in surgery/anesthesia and working in emergency triage. My husband is a Veterinarian/Surgeon with 25 years under his belt this year. He does not help with care and is not responsible for my clients, but is always available for advice and input. In addition, I am a Certified Feline Behaviorist (think Jackson Galaxy!) and thoroughly enjoy working with feline behavior concerns to help keep cats in their homes. I also have experience with basic level dog training and work with a variety of local clients on basic obedience, potty training, crate training, bite inhibition for puppies, etc. in addition to professional pet sitting, boarding, daycare, and basic grooming, I am capable and available for a variety of veterinary technician services like medication/fluid administration, insulin administration, bandage changes, nail trims, etc. I also have a solid understanding of disease and parasite transmission as well as toxicity exposure/ingestion risks and act accordingly with the pets in my care. I interned for several years at Vilas Zoo in Madison, WI and for a year at Chattanooga Zoo here in TN. My husband did a residency at Montgomery Zoo in Alabama, and we met 10 years ago when we both used to own large reptile breeding businesses, primarily working with a variety of snakes. I have also spent years as a wildlife rehabber, working primarily with rabbits, squirrels, song birds, opossums, and native reptiles. Thus in addition to dogs and cats, I am well-versed in the care and biological needs of practically every species you can think of! In addition to my professional skills, education, and experience, I have immense personal experience -- essentially from the moment I was born. My mother has run a cat rescue in Wisconsin for decades, and my grandfather did the same before her. I also have been rescuing cats for the past 20 years. My parents have always kept a wide variety of pets, ranging from cats and dogs to fish, reptiles, small mammals/pocket pets, and exotics, so I have been immersed in caring for almost every kind of pet you can think of since before I can remember. I also have always had an invisible neon sign above my head that only animals can see, which has made it so that all injured, young, or lost pets and wildlife find their way to me no matter where I am or what I'm doing -- even in Army basic training when I was 20, when I rescued a 10-day-old stray kitten from drowning due to a burst pipe underneath our barracks -- so I have always had animals in my care at any given moment. In our personal lives, we have two children: my 19-year-old son and our 8-year-old daughter, both of whom have been raised in animal rescue, veterinary medicine, pet care and behavior training, etc. and have extensive skills and knowledge of their own which brings me immense pride to see. We have 4 kitties and a Boston Terrier, all of whom are very comfortable with the various visiting pet friends that stay with us. They are also spayed/neutered, UTD on vaccines, negative for all common communicable diseases, and UTD on heartworm/flea/tick prevention. My boarding pets have spaces away from our pets if necessary, so interaction is not required and separation is just fine! I have never known a life without being surrounded by animals, without my clothes being covered in fur, and without being called to help care for animals in need. It is not just what I do, but who I am, down to my very core, and brings me immense joy and gratification. I cannot begin to express how much I love what I do. I love caring for others' pets and giving them the ability to be loved and well cared for when their own loving parents cannot be with them for whatever reason. I also have frequently helped clients become aware of health concerns within their pets that they may not otherwise notice, then can have their regular DVM evaluate and address it -- ranging from skin allergies to yeast infections in ears to heart murmurs to dental disease. I feel that my career position, my education, my decades of experience, my knowledge, and my skillset, not to mention having my DVM husband handy for advice and knowledge, puts me ahead of most pet caretakers. It ensures that your babies are in the safest and most experienced, well-prepared hands they could possibly be in! I currently work remote from home as an emergency triage technician and am the Manager of Performance, Training, and Team Success for GuardianVets, so I am available 7 days per week, 24 hours per day to care for pets in my home. I also have some open availability from 8am to 10pm, so I am able to do drop-ins, potty breaks, feed, scoop litter boxes, change cages/bedding, etc. 2-3 times per day before the final visit for the evening. I can make just about any request work! Care depends on the individual pet, their breed, age, personality and needs, as well as what training and rules their parents have in place for them, and whether they are boarding in my 3600 sq. ft. home or I am caring for them in your home. Pets boarding in my home or coming for Doggy Daycare must be UTD on all core vaccines for their species with verification from their veterinarian. For puppies under 16 weeks of age, they must be UTD with the most recent booster for their age. All puppies under 16 weeks or puppies who have not yet completed all 4 vaccine boosters yet will be the ONLY boarding client I keep during their duration of stay in order to best protect their developing immune system. As you would expect, my home and all supplies (crates, bowls, etc) are thoroughly sanitized after each client. Bowls are washed in the dishwasher at over 140 degrees to sanitize, and all floors and kennels are sanitized with Kennel Care (an effective veterinary-grade disinfectant against Parvo and all other infectious agents). I do also require that all dogs boarding here or coming for Doggy Daycare are either cat-friendly or cat-neutral (meaning they ignore them). We cannot board any dogs who are cat aggressive, small dog aggressive, or obsessive cat/dog chasers, due to the risk to our pets. Even though we have a separate space for boarding dogs, the risk of injury or death is too great if they were to somehow get loose and come into contact with them. I am sorry. This specifically means dogs who have a known history of active aggression toward prey animals or an excessive interest/obsession with chasing small dogs and cats. Simply being vocal toward cats or showing interest and wanting to gently investigate is not aggression and is fine. If you aren't sure how your baby would be, you are absolutely welcome to bring them over for a trial meeting on-leash to see how they do with them first! I will always text daily updates and pics to let you know how your babies are doing and what they are up to! I am an obsessive picture taker anyway, especially with animals. :) BOARDING DOGS: I require all dogs to be crate-trained or at least comfortable being in a crate for safety reasons (i.e. if I need to leave the house for any reason, they must be able to be crated). I keep large and medium sized comfortable, secure crates with comfortable washed fresh blankets for boarding dogs, or you are welcome to bring your own! Most boarding dogs are kept in our master suite so that I can supervise them at all times. On the rare occasion where we have boarding clients from two different families, we will set the other one up in my adult son's room. They are never alone or left ignored. For outgoing dogs who adapt well to any new situation and do well with other animals, they are allowed to run around the house with us, chill on the couch, hang out on the bed and watch TV, etc, unless their parents have trained them not to be on furniture, then we uphold this same rule for them here for consistency and they are offered blankets or beds on the floor. This is always under strict supervision, no unsupervised time loose. For dogs who are more nervous/anxious in new spaces, they are crated and given 3-5 intervals of supervised 1:1 time loose in my large master suite rather than the full house, and away from the cats or our dog if they may upset them. For the most nervous babies, I usually recommend remaining crated in a larger crate so they have room to move around, as they feel most secure there, with regular potty breaks. Similar to boarding at a veterinary clinic. All boarding dogs get lots of outside play time in our yard, always on a 30-foot training leash that is attached to my hand at all times. This lets them run and play and have fun while still always being under my control and security. I do not believe in using tie-outs nor do I ever leave a dog outside alone -- whether that is a client's dog or my own. Feeding is based on their own individual preferences and requirements/instructions from their pet parents. I have all necessary bowls here, just need their food provided. BOARDING CATS: For kitties, the most outgoing, friendly, and adaptable cats are set up in our daughter's bedroom so that they have a whole room with a comfy bed and someone to sleep with at night, as well as a clean sanitized litterbox (unless they bring their own). They are also provided plenty of cat-safe toys and clean blankets to lay on. I can provide litter unless your baby has a preference for a specific type/brand, which is no issue! My daughter LOVES having boarding cats with her and will play with them with wand toys, fuzzy mice, and laser pointers for as long as they are willing, and snuggle them in bed while playing Minecraft. I take care of all the care essentials and always have hands-on time with them to ensure all is well. For the more anxious/scared kitties who prefer to hide and have less interaction, they are kept either in a large multi-level cat condo with a litterbox at the bottom, or a large wire dog crate with the litterbox on one side and a plastic step stool on the other so they can sit elevated on top or hide underneath. I set these up inside my master bedroom if I have no boarding dogs, or my daughter's room if we do. They are allowed to decompress in a quiet warm space, and I will spend lots of time petting and loving on them if they would like it, otherwise I give them their space with just periodic check-ins and caretaking (litter, food, water, etc). BOARDING EXOTICS: Species-dependent, we can discuss specifics! DOGGIE DAYCARE: Exactly the same as boarding, just for shorter periods, whether that's an hour or two while you attend a doctor appt, or 8 hours while you work! PETSITTING IN YOUR HOME: I am fully able to stay 24/7 if you prefer, or I can just stay during the day and then head home around 9pm and back again the next morning. For clients who wish me to stay 24/7 in their home, I will need access to high-speed WiFi in order to work my remote job overnight, as I work third shift. I do not have to be isolated from pets for this job, they can hang out with me. :) While I am in your home, I can sleep either on the couch or in a guest bedroom if you have one and are comfortable, either is fine with me. For couches, I will bring my own pillow and blanket. I will not do any cooking or anything that requires making a mess or cleaning up, and guarantee your home will be left in the same condition/state it was when I arrived, and will take any trash with me when I go. Your pets will sleep wherever they are used to sleeping, so if that's with a person, they are very welcome to sleep with me! I can let them out every 1-2 hours, including while working for puppies and seniors who need overnight potty breaks. DROP-IN VISITS: For pets who stay at home and have me come over for care, I usually come over 2-3x per day for potty breaks, play breaks, a walk, meal times, litter scooping, cage cleaning, etc. and overall health checks to ensure all is well. I will always treat them as if they were my own babies and ensure they get lots of love and exercise to burn off that energy during the short time we have!

About: I have taken care of animals and had a love for them ever since I was kid. 23 years of my 40 years of life I have done it in a professional capacity. I have taken care of dogs, cats, hamsters and gerbils, birds, and fish. (In response to that one review about the carpet from 2020. The carpet was like that when I moved in and the landlord refused to replace it unfortunately. I no longer live there. I live in a totally different state. We have beautiful hardwood floors now.) I am a stay at home mom and can give your pet the one on one attention it needs. My son is 14 and loves to help as does my fiance. Your pet will get lots of love from each of us. I have a lovely clean home for overnight stays and doggie daycare. I have a safe neighborhood to go on walks in. I am very professional in a client's home when checking on a furbaby and follow rules precisely.

About: I have worked at a kennel where I did daily feedings, walks, medications, baths, and nail trimmings. Now I have 3 dogs and 2 cats of my own, that are all house trained and very well behaved. I am a stay at home mom who only leaves the house for groceries and school pick ups for my kids. We don’t go on trips or travel that much. So I am very dependable on being available for your fur baby. I have a big fenced in back yard in a nice neighborhood. I do have 3 dogs( Great Dane, Blue Tick hound, and a Walker tree hound). We also have 2 cats that are inside/outside cats. All of our animals are great with new animals. We do have a large crate if that is something you’re interested in. We also have a full finished basement and garage with heat and air that we can allow your pet to stay in if they aren’t to sociable with others.

About: People always ask me to dog sit their fur babies because they know how much I love animals! I’ve had pets since I was a little girl. I currently have an 8 month old Shih Tzu and a Maine Coon cat. Both are great with other animals. I am available any time, day or night. I am a real estate agent, so I set my own hours, which is very convenient. I mostly work from home, unless I’m out showing houses or attending closings. I am married and have two little girls that are ages 7 and 11 years old. My daughters are also animal lovers, and love helping me take care of other people’s pets. We have a large front yard and a long driveway, so there is plenty of room to run, and we are not too close to the main road. Their are lots of trees and neighbors are pretty spread out.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs ever since I met my boyfriend/now husband 14 years ago. From senior dogs to energetic pups and everything in between! I also have experience giving oral/eye/ear/injectable medications. I currently work part-time from home, so I’ll have lots of time to help with all your pet care needs. Also available during all major holidays! Your pets comfort and safety is my number one priority. I have trained and worked for veterinarians and fully understand the importance of pet safety.
