Professional Pet Care

Pet care experience

I am a licensed, bonded and insured pet care provider in the metro Atlanta area. I run my own business that I’ve operated for the last 8 years and I have a ton of regular clients that will be happy to be used as a reference. I am a stay at home mom so taking care of animals is my second full time job. I offer boarding, daycare, and drop in visits and I usually bring my 4 year old daughter with me. I have two dogs of my own that I love as my children! I treat all animals like they are my own with lots of love and attention. I also have plenty of experience with elderly or sick animals that need medication administered. We are also very experienced with “reactive” and “aggressive” dogs. Please read below for more on that 👌

Dolly loved staying with Kristin and her family! She had a blast playing with the other dogs. We loved all the pictures and updates we got every day!

The owners are just amazing. We forgot the bag with the food for the puppies and they were so sweet to offer to buy them pet smart ! I got constant updates and pictures of my babies . They have a fenced backyard and a whole basement floor dedicated to the dogs . Highly recommend

Kristin was amazing. We got daily pics of our boys. You could tell they were happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. One of our dogs has a worsening eye condition and Kristin was great at keeping us updated, offering tips, and giving him extra care and love.

Safety, trust & environment

We treat our pets like family. So don’t crate our own keys but we have crates that have been given to us over the years if they need to be used. We have a fenced in yard with a doggie door. Howeber, over the years we’ve had to become more strict with our policies/ safety is our number one priority here. We must do meet and greet in. My place around my dogs and my child (usually about 3 other dogs here too), and I’m sorry but we will turn them away at any sign of aggression. Normal playful snipping and barking and growling is fine, I’ve seen it all a lot over the last 15 years, but we will not risk anyone’s safety. We do have different areas in our home that can be sectioned off if you let us know ahead of time that you have a reactive dog and he needs his own space and we can totally accommodate for that. Just be honest with us about your pet. If he or she needs to be alone, we have plenty of room for that as long as we are prepared. We are prepared to take on almost any dog as long as you’re honest about what kind of dog you are bringing here. We love these dogs and that’s why we do this business and have so many return customers. But we will call You or your emergency contact if he or she needs to be removed because he’s picking fights with anyone and we weren’t warned about it to now we have to where to keep him. We keep okentlt of dogs that are not friendly with other dogs. We schedule them around certain dates. If they are going to be here no other dogs will come in. It’s that simple. We are here to help but not to be taken advantage of.

Information Kristin L. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any past aggression tendencies at park or kennels. This will not necessarily be a deciding factor. We can handle reactive dogs because we have the space for it. We just have to make sure we are told in anough advance and with honesty so we don’t have 2-3 reactive dogs here trying to control while also having a 4 year old child in the home.

A typical day

We have a huge fenced in yard that contracts straight into our basement. We love opening up the garage door and just letting the dogs go for it. In the summer we will have pools out and they can always come inside for a break. We never let outside time last longer than about 20 mins at a time for our neighbors sanity. But we have a huge play area in the basement as well ?

This is my weekly routine. This is my full time job. I let clients know if I have a busy day or errands I have to run, but for the most part I am home with my daughter and the dogs until my husband gets home at 5 ro give me a break 😩
