Lakeside Dog Adventure Retreat
Welcome to Adventure Awaits Fido, a small-group dog boarding retreat on a peaceful lakeside property in Baldwin, Georgia. For 2 years, our lakeside dog retreat in Baldwin serves families in nearby areas including Cornelia, Toccoa, Clarkesville, Commerce, Homer, Alto, and Carnesville. Dogs stay in a calm, home-style environment with close supervision, structured playgroups, and plenty of time to relax, sniff, and explore. Many of our guests enjoy nature walks, enrichment games, and optional adventure hikes — like a little vacation in the woods. Dogs who visit regularly build friendships and look forward to their adventures here.

Ratings and reviews
Kristi was so fantastic and a true lifesaver when we needed someone to watch our pup last minute. She provided us with photo/video updates every day and made sure our boy had the best time. I would 10/10 recommend her to anyone.
Kristi was very accommodating with drop off and pick up times, and took great care of our dogs alongside her own. She has a great rural setting for dogs to explore.
Kristi goes the extra mile as a pet sitter. She updated me with fantastic pictures and positive comments. She is patient with my puppy Jasper and me. She's also very considerate. I will hire her again and keep in touch.
I cannot recommend kristy enough! She was absolutely amazing as the dog chaperone for my wedding. From the very first meet and greet, I felt completely at ease with her. she asked thoughtful questions, showed genuine care, and I knew my dogs would be in great hands. She truly cared for my dogs as if they were her own and was 100% dedicated to making sure everything went perfectly. I’m so grateful for her help on such an important day, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and professional to take care of their pets.
We were really pleased with her communication and care for our dog and would absolutely choose her again. Our dog seemed perfectly content when we returned home. She was very professional and listened to our requests.
Kristi was great with Winnie!!! She gave us tons of photos and kept us updated with how Winnie was doing!! We would love for her to have Winnie again! She was also available last minute which was super super helpful and very accommodating!!

A typical day
Morning Daycare dogs arrive between 7–9 AM. After everyone settles in, the group heads outside for supervised playtime where dogs can run, sniff, and socialize in the shaded play areas. Midday After play, dogs come inside for rest time and quiet time. This helps everyone recharge and keeps the energy calm and balanced. Afternoon In the afternoon, dogs head back outside for another play session. Depending on the day, this may include enrichment activities, exploring the play areas, or relaxing in the shade with the group. Evening (Boarding Dogs) Boarding guests enjoy more outdoor time, dinner, and a relaxed evening before settling in for the night in a comfortable indoor space. Throughout the day, dogs are closely supervised in small groups to keep play safe and enjoyable for everyone.
