Down on the Farm Pet Get Away

Pet care experience

Please no intact male dogs!! Hello! I have owned almost all house pets and agricultural animals the majority of my life. My heart for animals is like potato chips as we have many animals. Over 30 horses, cats, dogs, alpacas, goats and sheep and so on. This is the perfect way for me to enjoy many additional pets yet they get to go home. We have 6 acres fully fenced in. We also have the back yard separated and a few dog runs if needed. Sometimes pets can’t handle all the animals so we like to make sure they are happy and comfortable. Your going on vacation? So is your pet!! Down on the farm at Step N Stone Stables in Powder Springs GA. Our daily routine is all about our animals at Step N Stones. All animals are let out and fed by 9am. Pending on animal as to kenneling, runs or loose in the house. When animals are new to us we normally let them enjoy the outdoors as much as the weather will allows us. They are never outside long when weather is super hot or cold. There is always water available by dishes, bowls, buckets and a live stream. We are only doing on the farm boarding. Every pet will be accommodated to there specific needs. Such as if they are kennel trained they will be in a kennel at night and only if I’m leaving home to say go get groceries but otherwise we are always around.

Having used pet resort/daycare facilities, I MUCH more prefer the direct care of someone I can do a meet and greet with, someone I can feel out and know that person will have my pup under direct care while I'm busy. That’s why I will continue to use Rover, we have not been disappointed! We will continue to use and recommend Rover.

Melissa is a very accommodating and loving sitter. She accepted my booking last minute and was super gracious when my pickup arrival was later than planned due to traffic. I always know my dogs will have a great time socializing and be well cared for.
