“We went on a family vacation and Allison watched our fur baby, Browning. She kept me updated everyday. Told me about everything. Her fur baby, Jaxx, was so sad that Browning was going home! He was crying and trying to get Browning out of my car. Browning and Jaxx had a great time! I will definitely rebook if I ever go back to Ellijay! It was fantastic!”


“We just love Ms. Pat, and so does our little one! I feel so comfortable leaving our dog with Ms. Pat because she treats him like he’s a member of her family (just like we do). Thanks again Ms. Pat!!”


“I received photos and videos every day! Both Havoc and Jelly Beans were spoiled!!! Erin was the BIGGEST lifesaver as my original dog sitter backed out a week prior to an Air Force TDY. I cannot thank her enough! ?”


“I don’t even know where to begin. This was my first time using rover & my first time leaving my dog with a stranger…. That quickly changed because I feel like Shawna is now family. Shawna had me bring my dog about a week before to see if the vibe fit and the love was undeniable. Her and her husband welcomed my dog Phoebe with open arms and I instantly felt comfortable. I had some anxiety before my trip and she went above and beyond to ease my mind. I got daily check ins and photos and videos of my dog. My dog is very high maintenance and can’t be around any other pets which was a perfect fit to stay at her house. I cannot recommend Shawna enough I would trust her to watch any pet. I even joked that when I have a human baby I would try and still book her through rover. Thank you for the amazing experience.”


“Reyna is super sweet and enjoys dogs, along with her boys, who are great helpers. My dog enjoyed walks, and playing, and being a part of the family while she stayed with Reyna. A large fenced play area is great for higher-energy dogs to run around, and a long driveway and farm area makes for nice areas to walk. Pictures were sent of my dog during my time away and my dog always looked happy.”


About: I have been around all kinds of animals my entire life, especially dogs. I have been around all ages of dogs and currently have two Australian Shepherd border collie mixes. I worked for two years at a dog daycare, boarding and training facility. Although I am not a dog trainer, I did work with a couple of dogs with the trainers as helpers. I have worked with all kinds of dogs, aggressive dogs, particular dogs, scared dogs and can confidently say I up for a challenge. I am also a mom so nothing can gross me out! If you were looking to do anything at my house, I do have like I said two of my own dogs as well as a daughter under a year old I accept only one- two dogs at a time for my house, but my dogs are super friendly and I actually used them as introduction dogs at the daycare I worked at. Our front yard is not fenced in, but I do have a fenced in pen where I let them do the majority of their bathroom breaks and then I take them on walks through throughout the property. I am currently working part-time because I am a Mom and can only work on the weekends maybe occasionally during the week. My goal is to create a tight schedule that way we have no conflicts. Depending on your dog and the training that you guys have in place, I can help Help with a number of things. If we need to work on keeping them in the crate or keeping them out of the crate, or doing leash walks. I can do little drop in daycare sessions where we play outside. It really depends on what your dog needs, and what the limitations there are.

“Dawn was absolutely wonderful with our old girl! She sent us frequent updates throughout our trip. I will definitely use Dawn's services in the future. Thank you again Dawn!”



“Yuwadee was excellent with Bogey. She sent me pictures everyday. When I picked him up, he looked very happy. Bpgey is a rescue dog and a bit anxious and insecure. Yuwadee suggested a trick to help me with this, which I shall follow through. I will definitely leave him with her next time. Thank you so much, Yuwadee.”


“Lori was incredible. Booked her last minute and she took such good care of our Frenchie. We got so many updates and we could tell he was well loved when we picked him up. Very grateful for wonderful dog sitters like Lori!”


“Patrisha was so easy to work with during the entire process. She was quick to reply to messages, available at my convenience, and Heidi was happy and well-cared for. I highly recommend you give her a try.”



“We had a family emergency and had to go out of town on short notice and Piper was very accommodating and took care of our foster puppy, Leah, at her house over the weekend. Piper was very patient with Leah despite the fact that she was not fully potty trained and that she had some anxiety issues. Piper's dogs are very nice and played wonderfully with Leah. I definitely recommend Piper as a great care giver and a home away from home for your pets.”


“Angie is the absolute best! I brought my two dogs for a meet and greet before their stay and she answered all my questions and made me feel at ease. She has a lovely home and yard and you can tell how much she cares about dogs. I was nervous as I've never boarded before. One of my dogs is very nervous in new situations. Angie sent daily updates and pics text ands assured me he was doing great. And he was! Both my babies were comfortable, loved, exercised, and treated as part of the family. Angie is professional, kind, accommodating, and gentle. When I picked them up they were happy and worn out! Lots of play! We drove almost an hour out of the way to leave them with her. We will do it again! Look no further! ”


“Our little Morkie, Molly, has stayed with Esmeralda multiple times. Each time, Molly has had a full play day with Esmeralda's little furbabies. Molly is content, happy and safe when she visits Esmeralda. We always receive photos and updates throughout the day. We will continue our visits to Esmeralda whenever we are in town and visiting the Blue Rideg area and need a sitter.”


“Monika took excellent care of our fur baby and was very communicative the entire time. She made us feel comfortable and jackson came home tired and happy. Will definitely be booking again!!”


“Tucker and Lisa were great through the whole process. Plenty of updates and photos. Chester seemed to get good play time and attention, and buddied up with their dog Benny. Would happily book again.”


“I highly recommend Ashley for any and all dog boarding. She sent me photos and updates multiple times per day or as requested. Very responsive and my pups seemed to have a great time. I will absolutely be using her again.”
