“I can't say enough great things about Aric! He gave us all the confidence that Whiskey's visit would be great - and it was! Convenient area, great rate, and fantastic care! We will definitely use Aric again and recommend him to family and friends in the Athens area!”

“Lyndsey was amazing with Teddy! We had a death in the family while out of town and she was easy and accommodating to work with. She even sent home some homemade dog treats.”

“Brittany and her family provided excellent car for my dog. He had so much fun playing with her dogs and running around their pool! Definitely recommend and will use again.”

“Bethani did great with our dog. We were visiting the Cleveland/Chattanooga area from another state, and needed a place for our dog to stay that would help him ease his anxieties about being separated from his family. Bethani and her family did that for him. She let me know how he was doing, and answered questions I would have about his stay. I recommend her!”

“So grateful for the great care Kelly gave to our senior dog, Bella. Kelly kept us informed about Bella’s stay and assured us that Bella was doing well. I could tell that Bella was totally content. Loved the pics and videos she sent us. I think Bella just made her self at home and even took her “guarding” job position in Kelly’s front window.”


“Crystal was so helpful during the entire process. She let me come by her house a week prior and introduce my dogs to her and see her home. She was quick to respond and VERY accommodating to our needs for drop off and pickup. We have not left our pups with anyone except family and were very nervous to go on our 6 day trip. Crystal not only eased our nerves but also was amazing to keep our puppies calm during their stay. Any time I reached out she quickly responded with an update. It was SO NICE to be able to go on a vacation and not have to worry if our dogs were okay. Blue and Molly will definitely go stay at her house again :)”

“Shannon was great with Maggie, sent pictures of her throughout the day, was understanding and flexible when I was arranging dates (waiting for grandbaby to be born!), and Maggie enjoyed herself very much while in her care. Thanks, Shannon!”

“The whole family took very good care of Abby. I could tell by the daily updates that she was being treated just like she was part of the family. Abby perked up when I showed her a picture and said one of the children names, looking around for her new found friend only settling back down when I started to pet Abby. Can’t thank them enough for the attention given. Awesome service!”

About: Surrounding myself around pets has always given me serenity and peace. I worked at a dog resort where I fed, walked, played with, cleaned up after, and even had nap time with many dogs. I have studied dog behavior and group play through lessons given by my employment at the dog resort. I can administer medication and do my absolute best at following any requirements your fur baby needs! I have a friendly mini golden doodl), a playful toy Australian Shepherd, and two sweet cats whom I love to pieces! I also work from home and have a very flexible schedule. If you choose to get your baby taken care of by me, I will treat them like my own ❤️ I work from home and have a flexible schedule so they will have all of my attention! If they want it lol. I can also work around specific times you want your dog to eat, medication administered, etc. I have a fenced yard and two dogs that love to play! I can also provide a safe room and playpen for your dog to be in whenever I’m not home if that’s what they please!
“Ruth and her husband provided excellent care for my dog while I was away. They have great knowledge about dogs and offered a wonderful home away from home for my pup. Highly recommended.”

“Deree and her husband were wonderful with our English bulldog, Parker! She’s not even a year old, so it meant a lot knowing they took extra care with her and paid attention to her needs as she can be very hyper at times and needs some re direction. I felt completely at ease the entire time knowing she was in such good hands. I forgot to pack enough food for the second day, and they stepped in without hesitation to make sure she was fed and well taken care of, which I really appreciated. Their yard is nice and fully fenced in, making it a safe and fun space for the dogs to play. Parker clearly had a great time she slept the entire day when she got home! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our girl. We will definitely be using you again!”

“Sharon took great care of our cat! She stayed in touch with us throughout our vacation and sent pictures each day. We could tell our cat was enjoying her vacation, as well. Thank you for everything, Sharon!”

About: I have owned pets my whole life. I have owned cats and small dogs and even big dogs including Belgian Malinois in my lifetime. I will give your dogs and cats the best love and care while watching them. I am a stay at home dog mom so I have plenty of time to care for other peoples fur babies and give them the best care and love. If your pet stays in my home they will get lots of walks and lots of play time. I have a nice neighborhood for walking.
“My Sophie was cared for excellently . I was kept updated on how her visit went daily . Not only will I book withelussa when the need arises , but I will recommend her to anyone needing boarding services ..”

“We cannot say enough about Katelyn and how she took such excellent care of our Charlie. She treated him like he was her own baby. She sent us so many pictures so we felt great while we were away. I cannot thank her enough! Charlie definitely fell in love with her. When we came today to get him, he seemed sad to leave her. Charlie obviously had a wonderful time! We will never trust anyone to care for Charlie except Katelyn in the future. And I know Charlie will be looking forward to being with her too!! If you want to feel comfortable leaving your baby with someone while you are away I highly recommend Katelyn. She is the real deal!!! Kathleen Calabrese”
