Pet Boarding Oakwood

“I recently had the pleasure of having Sushma take care of my two dogs, Bubba and Yogii, and I can't express how thrilled I am with her service! From the moment we met, I could tell that Sushma has a genuine love for animals. She took the time to get to know both of my dogs, understanding their unique personalities and needs. Throughout the duration of her pet-sitting, Sushma was incredibly attentive and responsible. She followed my instructions to the letter, ensuring that Bubba and Yogii were fed on schedule, took their daily walks, and received plenty of playtime. I loved receiving regular updates and photos, which put my mind at ease and allowed me to enjoy my time away knowing that my pups were in excellent hands. Sushma’s warm and friendly demeanor made it easy for my dogs to bond with her. They seemed so happy and content when I returned home, and I could tell they had been well cared for. It’s clear that Sushma is passionate about her work and goes above and beyond to provide a nurturing environment for the pets she looks after. I highly recommend Sushma as a pet sitter! Her professionalism, kindness, and love for animals have truly made her a standout caregiver for Bubba and Yogii. I will definitely be reaching out to her for future pet-sitting needs! Thank you, Sushma, for taking such wonderful care of my furry family members!”

About: I’ve already been sitting and walking dogs independently but am ready to begin more professionally. References are available and I encourage you to reach out with any questions you might have! I am currently sitting and walking dogs full time. I live with family who are more than willing and able to let boarded dogs out regularly and I can always fit more dogs! I have a fully fenced yard that has withstood multiple escape artists and diggers. There are six people in the house, so it’s unlikely your pet will be alone for long. We also have two dogs. One 14yo rat terrier mix and a 3yo pit bull mix

“Mamie and family were great. Mamie communicated frequently, including sending photo updates. We felt confident that Solo and Sadie were well cared for and happy. It is clear that Mamie loves dogs and I think Solo and Sadie enjoyed their vacation as much as we enjoyed ours.”

About: I have been in the dog grooming industry for 20 years. Currently own a grooming salon in Buford for 8 years! I have worked in boarding facilities and veterinarian offices and currently offer pet sitting for my grooming clients. I usually work 4 days a week at my Salon that just just 10 minutes from my home. I am able to take dogs back and forth, if needed. Or set up a pen with all the comforts, while I'm gone. I do need as much notice as possible, as some weekends may not be available. But feel free to ask last minute! I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly, young dogs of my own. I kennel pups if I am not home, but also have an open top pen if anyone is not a fan of kennels.

“Johanna and Jerald took wonderful care of our two dogs while we were away. They were so kind and caring and sent pictures throughout the week to keep us updated on how they were doing. Their dogs got along great with our two and we just couldn’t have asked for anything better. They were treated so well, we were afraid they might not want to come home! We definitely recommend Johanna and Jerald and look forward to having them care for our “fur babies” again!”

“Erica was great, super friendly and professional! She sent photos, updates, and helped giving Maverick the medicine he needed. We were gone for 18 days and we could enjoy our trip knowing Maverick was in good hands. Definitely booking her again for our next trip. Complete peace of mind! Thank you Erica & Lilo!!”

“Glad I chose Kristen. My little Sami was treated like part of the family. She had a great time and I didn’t have any worries while I was away.”

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life. I grew up with cats and dogs around the house, so caring for them feels second nature, not a job. Whether it’s a quick drop-in visit, a daytime hang, a walk around the block, or an overnight stay, I treat every pet like part of the family while you’re away. I’m attentive to each animal’s routine and personality: feeding schedules, medication needs, favorite toys, or just knowing when a dog wants to play and when a cat wants to be left alone. You can expect regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is safe, comfortable, and well-loved. I offer boarding, daycare, walks, and drop-in visits - happy to work around whatever your pet needs. Mornings start with a check-in cuddle and a feeding if it’s their usual time, followed by a walk or some yard time to burn off morning energy. Throughout the day, your pet gets plenty of attention: playtime, belly rubs, and naps on the couch if that’s their style. My son is part of the routine too. He adores dogs and loves helping with walks and playtime, so your pet gets even more love and energy throughout the day. Evenings wind down with a calm walk, dinner, and settling in for the night, with updates and photos sent your way so you can see how their day went. Every pet’s routine looks a little different, and I’m happy to follow whatever schedule keeps them happiest and most comfortable. Your pet’s safety always comes first, whether in my home or theirs. I keep a close eye on pets at all times, never leaving them unsupervised in unfamiliar situations, and I make sure my home is pet-proofed with no hazardous items within reach, and a calm, comfortable space for them to settle in. In a client’s home, I respect their routines and rules, keep the house secure, and make sure doors and gates stay closed so pets can’t slip out. For dogs especially, walks are on a secure leash, and I’m attentive to other animals, traffic, and anything that could startle them. My son knows the same safety rules and never handles a pet without me nearby, so there’s always responsible supervision. I also keep emergency contacts and vet information on hand in case anything unexpected comes up.

About: Hi I’m Liz and I absolutely love animals! When I was younger I was always wanting to help out any animal I could find. I grew up with cats and a dog but once I got married my husband was allergic to cats so I never got to own my own cat. But I foster dogs on the side! I don’t work with any agencies, I just help certain life or death situations or senior pups who were denied proper care. I currently own 7 dogs ranging from all ages puppy to senior. I also own what most people call “difficult” breeds Akitas, Shibas, huskies, German Shepherds, Pomeranians, and Samoyed! I have a few puppies in training at my house and would love to share my knowledge of dogs with others! If you have training questions I’d love to help you and get you on the right track! I can’t wait to meet your pup! I’m currently working full time but I get off at 3-4pm each day and I am off Saturday and Sunday. I have a lot of wiggle room and would love to accommodate any way I can! I want to care for your pet in the same manner you do! I want your pet to feel like I am a second care human they are close and comfortable with. I will follow your instructions to a “T” so they aren’t left missing you too much! Right now I will only be offering your home for services but maybe some day mine as well :)

“I would absolutely give Melinda & McKenna 10 out of 5 if I could! Melinda was so responsive setting up a meet and greet with the introduction to her home. I immediately felt such great connection! Gracie Mae was welcomed for a long weekend stay. Sweet Eli was so welcoming and such a great companion. From the pictures you would have thought they were kindred spirits. The communication, updates, pictures throughout the weekend certainly put my curiosity to ease immediately just after the first day ! The love of their home to your furry baby is above and beyond! I’m looking forward to the next getaway and I know Gracie will be looking forward to her next stay! This is truly a spa retreat filled with so much love! Melinda & McKenna you are the best and thank you for the abundance of love!”

About: As lifelong dog lovers, we know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pets in someone else’s care. We had two sweet dogs of our own for 14 and 12 years, and they were truly part of our family. Spoiled , loved, and very well cared for. We understand that every dog deserves patience, attention, safety, and lots of love while their owners are away. Your pup will be welcomed into our home like one of our own, with plenty of care, affection, and a comfortable environment to help them feel safe and happy. Pet care naturally fits into our daily routine because we genuinely enjoy having dogs around and caring for them. We’re home every day and used to structuring our days around feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and giving dogs plenty of attention and affection throughout the day. Our home is calm, safe, and pet-friendly, and we understand the importance of consistency and routine for dogs while their owners are away. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I do my best to keep things consistent and stress-free for them while their owners are away. In my home, pets will have a calm, clean, and welcoming environment with plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and affection throughout the day. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I’ll respect their space while making sure their pets stay comfortable in their familiar routine and environment. My goal is always to care for every pet as if they were my own.

“This was Radnor’s second stay with Lindsay & Chris and once again, the level of care he received was top notch! We never worried one second while we were gone even when we heard there was a winter storm expected with possible power outages because they let us know they had it covered if that happened. We are thankful we found them to care for Radnor!”

“I could tell that my dog had a fantastic experience with Chelsea because Scarlet was not that excited to see me after three days. She would have been happy staying with Chelsea and her family. Your dog will be happy and healthy during a stay with Chelsea!”

“Anna was amazing and sent me multiple photos and videos of our dogs each day. She was great and so kind. I would recommend her to anyone and I plan to use her services again in the future.”

“Highly recommended! Kerri and her husband John took such great care of my senior dog and puppy together for a week! The communication was always quick and we were sent updates and pictures regularly. I felt safe knowing my dogs were with people who would care for them as if they were their own!”

“JR and his family are absolutely the best for my dog sitting needs. This is the second time my dog Findley has stayed with JR and both times I arrive back home to a calm happy dog. My dog is quite spoiled and JR is happy following my dogs feeding and treat routine. JR takes him for walks and plays ball with him in the nice fenced in yard. Receiving pictures while I’m on vacation is a wonderful plus that eases my mind while I am missing my dog. JR treats dogs like family and is very responsive when messaging. I highly recommend JR and so thankful to have him take good care of Findley!”

“Virginia was excellent in caring for our senior dog in diapers and on a special diet. Our 6 year old ate well and that is not ever the case when in a boarding kennel. It’s nice for them to have a fenced backyard for roaming too. Virginia sent pictures and told us they can come back any time.”

“This was our first time using boarding on Rover. Cricket is very sociable and we didn't want board him overnight in a commercial facility -- we wanted a home environment. Terissa did not disappoint. She and her family made him feel right at home. She sent pics and an update on how he interacted with her dogs. We will definitely be using her services again -- SOON!”
