Pet Boarding Oakwood

“10/10 I never felt more confident leaving my pet somewhere before. They kept me up to date with how she was doing. They sent pictures and asked questions about how I did certain things. It was a great experience not only for me but for my sweet dog. She came home happy and unfazed that I left her there for a few nights.”

“This was our second time leaving our pup Rocky with Gretchen and Marc, and he had a great time! It's been so nice to find dog-sitters that treat him like family!”

Alison D.

“Virginia was absolutely amazing with my baby. She stayed in contact with me and even sent pics. I felt totally at ease with her and would use her again 10 times over!”

Monica G.

“Terissa was awesome. She is super sweet and XO came home exhausted from playing with the kids and other dogs. I'll definitely choose her again if needed.”

Brandi S.

“Kerri was amazing with my girl Bailey. She's an older dog and tends to be uncomfortable in new settings. I could see the level of comfort in her eyes from the photo's and updates Kerri sent. I feel so lucky to have found her.”

Karen K.

“Christina was so sweet to our huskey. She took her for walks and sent us a lot of cute pictures. I will definitely book with Christina again.”

Melanie O.

“Anna was fantastic! She kept us informed of Cleo’s stay and sent us videos/pictures often. We had a great experience with her. Our dog almost didn’t want to come back to us at the end of the stay! 🤣”

Rafael V.

“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.”

Jodi M.

“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!”

Charlotte C.

“JR did a great job taking care of our 5 month puppy. She’s in a good mood and perfect health when I picked her up after 10 days. Definitely recommend!”

Nick Y.

“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.”

Sharon H.

“Alexandria and Ashton were absolutely fantastic with Lulu! From the moment we first reached out, they were incredibly responsive and communicative. That continued before, throughout, and even after Lulu’s stay, which gave us complete peace of mind knowing she was in great hands. They truly treated Lulu like she was one of their own. We loved getting updates, pictures, and videos and seeing how comfortable, happy, and completely at home she was with them. It was obvious they weren’t simply watching her—they genuinely cared about her and made sure she felt like part of the family. And then there’s Ruby! Lulu clearly made herself a new best friend. Seeing the two of them playing together was one of the highlights of the stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Alexandria and Ashton are dependable, caring, attentive, and genuinely great with dogs. We would trust them with Lulu again without hesitation and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family. An easy five stars!”

Jaime S.

“Melinda and McKenna were God-sends! We have a senior dog and we hate to leave her even for a day. Numerous photos and such a warm home was so assuring during our week away. We would not hesitate to use them again.”

Marcia M.

“Erica was great with my dogs. They were well cared for and nurtured. She kept me up to date on their daily activities, which gave me lots of comfort. Erica is very friendly and personable. I will definitely be a repeat customer.”

About: I used to have a successful pet-sitting business where dogs could stay at my house overnight, instead of being stuck in overnight kennels. I had regular clients, but had to end it because I was in high school and doing other extracurricular activities. I've had dogs since I was a small child. They are my family and I would do anything for them. Knowing how much my dogs mean to me, I will treat other's dogs like I would my own. My schedule is very flexible and I have reliable transportation. I think it's very important to make sure dogs are comfortable, happy, and given the care each individual dog requires. Having the opportunity to work with dogs would be something I would love to do- it wouldn't feel like work.

“Our dogs were happy and well cared for while we were away. John and Cassie and family took great care of them and sent pics from time to time. We will definitely book again!”

Charlotte C.

“Our little Levi had a great time with Sushma and her little one Frosty. Levi was very well taken care of and happy. He definitely wasn’t sad to see us go as he felt very comfortable right away. I highly recommend Sushma. She sends pictures and videos often letting me know all is good.”

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.

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: 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.
