Pet care experience

Your pup is our new bff

Ever since I rescued my family pup during hurricane Opal when I was in 7th grade, I've loved and cared for our canine friends and as I grew up and moved on from our family dog, I adopted a rescue from Athens Canine Rescue in 2006. That was my Abbie. She was with me until a rapid growth took her from me in 2018.

Koda was so well taken care of and loved by Ryan and his family. Will absolutely always see if Ryan and his family are available if we are looking for someone to take care of Koda in the future.

Koda absolutely loved his stay and was very well taken care of. His family had lots of love to give to Koda during his stay. We will absolutely always have him and his family take care of Koda when we are away.

We were so worried about leaving our puppy for the weekend. Ryan and his family put that at ease. We booked a second time and our dog couldn’t wait to get out of the car to see them again. I knew he was in good hands!

Extremely thankful for this family for letting us have a mini vacation. Their kiddos gave Chudge lots of attention, which I know she loved!

Safety, trust & environment

We have a yard that is fenced and will work to play with our friends in the yard to work on building trust and off-leash behavior too at the Hammock Bay pet facilities. We use baby carrots as treats normally, but can use whatever you think is best.

A typical day

We're excited to play with your friend. We can take walks throughout the neighborhood to explore new smells and exercise. We love to help train tricks or behaviors and typically use carrots as treats/rewards to be healthy. We love romping in the yard playing fetch or roughhousing. We might even bring them to dinner with us!
