Dog Boarding in Tiger, GA

“Laura was excellent in every single way. Communication was fantastic, she looked out for the well-being of our pup, and she was very kind. Highly recommend and will rebook again soon.”

“Great care giver to our dog!!! She asked questions to get familiar with how our dog lives her daily life. In turn she replicated what she could to make our dog comfortable. Daily activity was reported with pictures. We definitely recommend her and will be using her again. When our dog was picked up she nudged her nose on Katherine in thanks.”

About: I own 2 dogs, 1 cat, 2 horses. I care for family members animals when they go out of town and I treat all animals like family! I have a equine specialist certificate and also have a very flexible work schedule! I have references if needed! I have experience in several different dog breeds along with horse breeds! I will be able to offer drop in visits along with dog walking but I’m not limited to other services if needed! I’d love to get to know your babies & love on them while you’re away! Send me a message & I’ll see what I can help you with! I have a very flexible schedule & am Usually home everyday I Can easily do drop ins if needed or dog walking at certain times if needed. I like to do meet and greets that way I can easily make their time with me as close to normal for them as possible without the owner there! Keeps them much more calm to keep the normal schedule they are used to!

“Ann is one of the nicest Rover sitters we have ever used. Our senior dog has some anxiety, and Ann was so wonderful, and patient, with him. She reached out with updates and questions to ensure she was able to do all she could to make him comfortable and feel more at home with her and her family. We are grateful for all of her help and support and highly recommend Ann.”

“We and our puppy are thrilled to have found Licia and her partner. They are wonderful caring people who we can trust with our princess. Our recent experience was our first but it will certainly not be our last. Our only fear was that they treated our little girl so well that she would want to stay with them instead of coming home with us! I cannot say enough about how positive our experience was; it is such a relief to have found such safe and loving caretakers for our Miss LillyP.”

“Pamela is so great and so sweet with my Henry! We feel at ease knowing he’s comfortable and happy staying with her. Her home is clean and in a beautiful area, great for his walks. This was his second visit with her and I’m sure there will be more.”

About: I began my career in pet care over 27 years ago as a professional pet sitter, building a highly successful in-home service. As demand grew, I naturally transitioned into boarding select dogs in my home—an offering that quickly expanded beyond capacity. This growth led me to open and operate three pet hotels over a 25-year period. During that time, I furthered my expertise by becoming a Certified Canine Behavior Specialist and a Certified Fear Free Trainer, allowing me to better support dogs with a wide range of behavioral and emotional needs. In January 2024, I sold my final pet hotel and opened my current Training and Behavior Modification business in Clayton, GA. Over time, many of my training clients expressed interest in having their dogs stay in my home, and I found the experience both rewarding and impactful. As a result, I now offer exclusive in-home boarding as part of my services. My boarding program is intentionally different from traditional facilities. Dogs in my care are treated as members of the family, receiving daily enrichment, structure, and positive reinforcement of appropriate manners. I also offer training opportunities during their stay when appropriate. I specialize in working with anxious, fearful, and hyperexcitable dogs, providing a calm and supportive environment tailored to their needs. Because this is my home, I am selective about the dogs I accept to ensure a safe, harmonious environment for everyone. All dogs must be dog-friendly or neutral, with no history of aggression. Additionally, due to my 4-foot fencing, I am unable to accommodate dogs who are known fence jumpers. I am what you call, semi-retired. I sold my lasts pet hotel and moved to the mountains for a more relaxing lifestyle...which I have found! I make my own schedule and work as little or as much as I want to. My training business keeps me in our local community so I am never far from home. Mornings are always pretty much the same. I wake up around 7, make coffee, get the dogs out, feed the cats their wet food, and then spend some time catching up on training reports. While I'm doing this, I take breaks to let the dogs inside, take the cats remaining food to their feeding station, scoop their boxes and snuggle with them for a bit. Once the cats are taken care of, I prepare my dog's enrichment feeding puzzles and they get some enrichment time. Back to reports. When they are done eating, they get to digest for 30 minutes or so and then we head out for a walk down our beautiful mountain road. I am a strong believer in letting the dogs sniff. We go as far as we can in 30 minutes and then turn around and come back. Some days we make it a mile and a half, others, we only go a half mile. It is totally up to their sniffers. When we come home, everyone is usually beat and ready for a nap. If I have scheduled clients, I get ready and head out to see them. I am generally only gone for a couple hours before returning to let my dogs out for another potty break. This is the time we play outside. My dogs love to run and play with each other but they also love to play fetch. My yard is very large so there is plenty of space to throw a toy to let them run. When we come back in, it is time for cookie games. I like to play a game where as soon as a dog sits, they get a cookie. Mine already know this game and are fast sitters so when dogs visit, they learn how much fun this is too. Once cookies are handed out, we either hang out on the couch for snuggle time while I play games on my phone or if I have an afternoon client, I head out for another couple hours. My evening routine is pretty consistent as well as I am a home body. I love our mountain home and evenings are the best time to go out on the deck, grill up some dinner while the pups run around and then watch the beautiful sunset. I feed the dogs in the same manner as in the a.m. only in bowls this time. After 30 minutes, it back out to potty. My cats always find a way to fit into our daily routine by finding my lap or sitting on my table for head scratches while I do reports. After dinner and sunset, we either continue to hang out on the porch or head inside to relax on the couch until bedtime. Bedtime is around 10 p.m. and the dogs go outside one final time and then get their final cookie of the day. My dogs all sleep in bed with me and once the lights are out, the snoring begins. We have a 2 level home on 4 acres (1 acre fenced in) on the side of a mountain outside of Clayton, GA. Our closest neighbor is hidden up our long driveway behind a thick area of trees and then there is one down the mountain, off to the side. We live on a mountain, gravel road...you can't even see our house from this road due to the thick trees and distance from the road. We live with dogs and cats and our house shows this. Our leather couches are covered with blankets and cat claws have marred all the corners and edges. We have a custom-built cat activity center on our living room walls so the cats can get up high and look out over the mountains. The only carpets in the house are 1. by my bed so I don't step on a cold floor in the morning and 2. in each of the bathrooms for the same reason. We understand that puppies and dogs can have accidents so this house was built with that in mind. Our yard is fenced with 4 foot tall goat fencing which we had professionally installed to assure it is tight with no holes at ground level and at the gates. Dogs are always introduced to our yard by first taking a leashed walk around the perimeter to see how they behave around the fence. Once this is done, we allow the dogs to freely walk around the yard, dragging a long line. We are looking to see if your dog shows any interest in escape through either digging, climbing on the fence, or pushing at the gates. If your dog (new dogs) is only boarding for a few days, they will only go out with the long line on for safety. If they are boarding longer, we will remove the line if they are showing no interest in escape and let them run freely with our dogs. If your dog enjoys walks, they will receive one daily as long as they walk nicely on a leash. If they are hard pullers, I offer training services to help them learn better leash manners so they can be walked with the group. In my home, dogs are allowed as much freedom as possible. I have crates and pens and am happy to use these for management (especially if a puppy isn't house trained yet) as well as when I leave and for sleeping. Each dog is unique so there is no standard rule. All dogs are fed separately. My goal is that your dog feels at home in my home. I want them to have fun and feel safe while you are away so that you can enjoy your time away and not worry about them. My partner is a Veterinarian and so are several of my friends. I hope to never have to use their services but if I do, they are always ready and willing with advice and care. However, if something does happen that requires Vet care, your Vet will be contacted and used if possible. Of course, you will be notified immediately as well. Safety is always my first priority, followed very closely by fun and meeting all daily requirements.

“Luna, our 7 month old Rottweiler mix, had a blast with Fred (Jeffrey’s dog) while we were out of town for four days! They did a great job caring for her and gave us regular updates. We will definitely use them again!”

Danielle M.

“Katelyn did an amazing job with both of our dogs. Great communication when there were concerns and just general well being regularly. We would definitely use her and her family again in the future!!”

Scott T.

“She was amazing with all 3 of my baby's! Gave updates everyday on how they were doing and didn't care when they made some trouble like dogs do. Was the best dog sitter! I will definitely be having her watch them again!”

Abigail V.

“This was my first time ever using a pet sitter and thank goodness I found Amanda!! Wow! She had an outstanding response rate to all of my texts and calls. She even sent me pictures of my dog to reassure me she was ok because she knew I was nervous about her being an escape artist. When I picked up my dog both times, my girl seemed so content & happy. Amanda and her husband have a big beautiful home and give lots of love and care to their animals. I’m using her anytime I’m in this area again. Such a relief 🦋”

Emily F.

“Sylvie was amazing! We were in town for a Clemson game and boarded our 12yo lab with her and her husband, Tommy. Both were so friendly, and Sylvie sent pictures & updates through the night. We were running late the morning of pickup, and they were very understanding and accommodating. Would 100% be a repeat customer if we lived in this area!”

Kimberly B.

“My fur babies loved their stay with Jennifer. They were well cared for the entire time. Jennifer kept me informed via video and text on the status of my boys so I did not have to worry how they were doing. I would highly recommend Jennifer for your next booking. I will use her again when I return to Highlands as she was less than 10 minutes from the home we stayed at and Jennifer gave us the opportunity to come and visit our fur babies whenever but when I realize how much fun they were having, we chose not to interfere with their vacation as well. Thanks to Jennifer our vacation was stress free and we did not have to worry about our dogs!”

Anmarie A.

“Robin watched my 13 year old lab and she was great! She was very professional and my dog didn't want to leave when I picked him up. Would definitely go back if i'm in the area again!”

Gwen C.

“Hannah was perfectly capable of taking care of our sweet old girl. She fed her regularly, took her on walks, and gave her cuddles! We did a meet and greet first and felt very comfortable leaving our elderly dog, Valentina, with her. Valentina has never boarded before, but took to it very well given the love provided by Hannah. We would highly recommend her to any of our family or friends. We will be repeat customers for sure!”

Pamela G.

“Megan is such a wonderful dog sitter. Her love for dogs shines through and when we picked up Penny, Megan gave us feedback on the stay and how everything went. Penny was obviously comfortable with her and now I know we have a knowledgeable, trustworthy person we can count on to care for our dog when we are out of town.”

Amanda K.

“I was in a pinch to find someone at the last minute to care for my puppy for a few days, and am so glad that Stefanie accepted the request. She was wonderful! A definite animal lover, she knows dogs and their behavior well. She was very accommodating (drop off had to be late in the evening) and went above and beyond to make sure my puppy and I felt comfortable before I left. Tucker had a blast during his "vacay" and did not want to leave his new buddies behind when it was time to go home. Detailed text messages with updates and pictures every day were terrific. And when I picked Tucker up, Stefanie had even washed his bed and given him a bath (well, at least tried to!) I would definitely use Stefanie's services again.”

Mary S.

“We loved Christina so much. She was very communicative, prompt with responses and was just so nice. Our little guy was happy and healthy when he came home. We definitely will book again and highly recommend her services.”
