“Daisy loved being with Michele! Daisy loves being the center of attention. She got to walk and play and share her love. Michele is a great communicator and we were happy to get little notes assuring us that Daisy cared for with care and joy! Thank you Michele! Amy & Dan”

About: I am a proud pup and kitty parent. I have been taking care of pets professionally sine 2005. I provide daily dog walking, doggie boarding and kitty pet sitting services in the Milton area. Fabulous references to attest to my quality care. Contact me for a free consult. I look forward to adding you to the Animal Lovers family! I accept dogs that are friendly to all dogs and humans. No aggressive behaviors. I also can only accept potty trained dogs. I can administer medications and only work outside the home part-time so can easily provide potty breaks and walks every 4 hours. My dog Benny is very friendly and loves doggie company! I am available for daily dog walking Monday thru Friday and petsitting 7 days per week. I am available for boarding as schedule permits as I only take 1 dog, dog family, at a time. I have a home in Milton with a 6 foot privacy fence. I have 1 pup, a Yorkie poo who is used to welcoming fun pup friends. I am never out of my home more than 4 hours when I have pup boarders. Your pup(s) is my priority and treated like a member of my family.
“Libby was great with Chloe! We got pictures and updates regularly and Chloe even and a hat and scarf in some pictures! Huge fenced in yard to run around in! Lots of love and attention! Definitely will use Libby again!”

“My 2 girls were so happy with Sandee, i could not have asked for better care of my two spoilt pups! I am very grateful to Sandee for taking my girls for the afternoon, which freed us up to do the necessary things related to purchasing a home. I won't hesitate to go back to Sandee and trust her with my precious fur babies. Thank you Sandee!!!!”

“My husband and I had a great experience with Brenda watching our dog. Brenda was friendly, accommodating, and always quick to respond. She setup a meeting beforehand to make sure that my dog got along with her 1.5 year old golden retriever and that we were comfortable with where our dog would be staying. We were able to relax and enjoy our night out knowing that Brenda and her children were taking good care of our pup. Her kids even slept in the family room to get to spend more time with him. We loved getting pictures of our dog and knowing that he was being well taken care of. ”

“Jermaine took good care of my 7 year old pit bull for a week. He either updated me first or answered my questions in a timely manner when I asked for updates. I also received some pictures throughout the week of my boy. Overall I had a great experience and will be using Jermaine again!”

“Stephanie was awesome with our dogs! It was a last minute booking and she was accommodating with their different needs and energy levels. Stephanie sent pictures and was very communicative - I would definitely use her again!”

“Piper loves coming over to spend the night. She’s always outside running off steam and getting lots of love and affection. She has been watching our fur since she was a puppy and always get excited as soon as we turn down her street.”


“I can't recommend Kelly enough for dog boarding! My pup, Bailey, absolutely loves staying at her place. The big, fenced-in yard is a doggy paradise, and he has a blast running around and playing with Charlie, Kelly's dog. It's such a relief to know that Bailey is having a great time while I’m away! Kelly’s communication skills are fantastic. She keeps me updated throughout Bailey’s stay, sharing pictures and messages that always brighten my day. It’s so comforting to know my furry friend is in such caring hands. If you’re looking for a loving and fun environment for your dog, look no further than Kelly! Bailey can’t wait for his next visit! 🐾❤️”

“Sylvia was great with Tazzy. She was very thorough on our initial meet and great, and had her notes ready when we brought Tazzy for her weekend getaway. We felt very comfortable leaving her in good hands.”

“We immediately fell in love with Susan and Bob. We are new to the area and met them ahead of our first booking. They are warm and communicative and we knew our two doggies would be in good hands. We had an excellent experience and when we picked up, our dogs didn’t even want to come home! Thanks for a good experience-we will be back!”

“Brooke was great! She was super accommodating with my last minute booking changes. Communication was great and both of our dogs had fun and were well cared for. We will definitely use Brooke again!”

“Eric is the best!! He took such good care of my guys Henry. He sent multiples updates and videos every day. He went above and beyond playing with him in his huge fenced yard with Henry’s ball which can be exhausting! I highly recommend him!!!”


“Dropped my two pups off from Friday to Sunday afternoon. She sent pictures fed them walked them. They roamed and let me tell you they were happy worn out pups by the time we got home.. You could tell they had a time. She made sure everything was safe and clean for our pups as well as the other pups there. Will definitely recommend and definitely will be using her services again!”

“Kelly was great. This was Murphy’s first time staying with Kelly and he settled in very quickly. She sent lots of updates and photos which helped to know he was doing well in a new place. Kelly was very flexible and accommodating when we had to shift pick up and drop off times a bit. She offered to pick Murphy up and drop him off since we were so close. I definitely plan to use Kelly’s services again.”

“Jenny was amazing. She responded to our request very fast and messages back right away. We extended our stay and added on services after we already dropped him off and was super accommodating for us. Our pup loved playing with her dogs and she has a ton of space for them to run around. We definitely will be using her again.”

About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and got my first dog at 10 years old. Caring for him taught me responsibility, patience, and the deep bond we share with our pets. I have over 8 years of experience caring for senior dogs and 5+ years providing dog sitting services for private clients. Many families trust me repeatedly with their pets because I treat every dog as if they were my own. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs — from playful pups who love walks and attention to more relaxed dogs who just want companionship and cuddles. Small and medium dogs have mostly been under my care and only some larger breeds. My goal is always to keep your dog happy, safe, and stress-free while following their normal routine as closely as possible. I understand how important consistency is, especially for senior dogs. I’m reliable, attentive, and communicative, and I know peace of mind matters when you’re away. I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, overnight care, or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to help. Creating a calm, loving environment is very important to me, and I want both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I work from home on my own time so I am available pretty much daily unless I have other clients in my schedule. Requests in advance are very much appreciated. Services in your home will be as the owner requests. I aim to please you and your pet! I live in a tiny home so overnight and day cares are limited but I do have a small fenced in yard.
“Amy is an angle. She was so down to earth and I felt at ease leaning my boy with her. She kept me updated throughout the entire day with pictures and videos. She took my baby on an adventure with lots of trips and care rides which he loves. I told her what he likes and didn’t and she made sure to do all the things he loves. In every picture and video she sent I saw how happy my baby boy was. Definitely booking with her again! Thank you so much he had so much fun and you showed him so much love. 😊😊”
