“I liked Lauren immediately and her home is such a haven for dogs! She took time to slowly acclimate my pup to the other dogs and was super responsive while I was away. It was my pup’s first boarding experience and I think he had a great time! I will definitely book Lauren again.”
“Stephanie was AMAZING!! Whatever word is better than amazing, that’s what she is! She and her family made my furbaby feel so much at home and loved on her just as I do!! I got updates with photos and videos which is so very thoughtful. Stephanie went above and beyond keeping my Mercy longer when our flights home were canceled. Stephanie will forever be someone that I recommend to family and friends!”
“If there was a way to leave 10 STARS I would. Kaylyn was great with my toy poodle. I got pictures and videos of my dog enjoying her days playing, relaxing on the couch, and having a lazy day sunning. Ginger was just as comfortable and happy with her as she is at home. I had no worries or concerns and was able to enjoy my vacation. I will be using Kaylyn again, it’s home away from home. Thank you!”
“I am SO glad we found Kristen! We boarded our dog Rosie for almost a week and couldn't be more pleased with the experience. Prior to booking and leaving Rosie on her first day, Kristen was very attentive and made sure everyone was calm and comfortable in the new environment. Then she sent plenty of pictures of everyone happy and healthy playing in the HUGE backyard. It's a relief knowing that we have someone to care for Rosie, where she'll get love and exercise, if we're ever out of town!”
“I've boarded with Crista several times now, and my puppers gets excited when we pull up every time. I LOVE seeing the check in pictures with him playing with friends throughout the day - he's a super social boy and very much enjoys his time there!”
“Absolutely wonderful! Nancy & Stan are such kind and caring people. They have a beautiful home with a large yard in a great neighborhood. Their home and family are so welcoming. We received updates and photos throughout the stay and really loved getting those! It’s so nice to know your pet is well taken care of and comfortable when away. Highly recommend them to everyone!”
“Jaxen was amazing! First time leaving my pup with someone other than my friends/ family and I was completely at ease. She sent daily updates and my pup was so happy when I picked her up. Will definitely be booking with her again for my next trip!”
“Oh my gosh! Pam is amazing with Jack. She really makes him feel at home and comfortable and that makes me feel so grateful. Jack is such a good soul and deserves lots of love and attention, which we found in Pam. Than you Pam!”
“Tish was great! So great that I think my dog didn’t want to come home lol. Tish sent photos of my girl and even texted about a health concern. I will definitely use her again!”
“Will & Jillian were great with Rosie and were great about sending pictures and communicating with us while we were away! We will definitely use them again in the future!”
“Julie was amazing with our two puppies. She was very flexible and able to care for our dogs and her own dog simultaneously. She sent many pictures and updates and responded swiftly to all requests and messages. Would recommend to anyone looking for a Rover and would book with her again in the future!”
“Jamie and her girls took amazing care of our little Louie. He got spoiled with lots of love and cuddles. She sent us lots of pictures during our trip. We will 100% use her for every trip and would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Left my boy Scruffy with them after last minute plan changes, and he had a great time! I got plenty of updates and photos, as well as a video of him playing with some new friends. Would definitely recommend!”
“Jenny was great! Rosie had the best time cuddling with her and chasing her chickens! I would highly recommend using Jenny if you are in the area. We will use her again next time we bring Rosie with us for a Clemson trip!”
“I hesitate to leave a review, honestly, because I don’t want more people taking up all of Amber’s availability! She really helped me out of a jam—two jams, actually—when she accepted my last-minute booking (like, basically 24 hours notice) when my other sitter canceled for an emergency, AND she VERY generously agreed to watch my dog for an extra night when I was stuck overnight at a the airport. Amber shared daily photos and videos and other updates. She’s both proactive and quickly responsive. Will happily trust her to watch my pup anytime. But for my sake, please just…find someone else 🙏🏻”
“Carrie is absolutely wonderful. She sent tons of pictures and videos and treated my Buster as her own. I was worried he wouldn’t want to come back! We’ll definitely be using Carrie as our go-to sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone looking. Thanks for everything, Carrie!”
“Brandi is awesome! She took great care of my pup and sent really nice updates and photos each day. My pup seemed to fit in really well with her and her family and I felt confident that his needs were taken care of. Will definitely book again. Thanks Brandi!”
“We were a little worried when we needed to do a long trip away from our dog, but we found this amazing family that took a great care of Samy and gave him extra love throughout the storms when he needed! We were so happy Samy spent the time with them! And we are so lucky to know we can count on them for future occasions! Thank you so much, we are beyond grateful!! ❤️”

“Attention to detail and great communication. This is the second time Stephanie has taken care of “the girls” . Stephanie is now my preferred care giver, peace of mind while traveling is important and Stephanie delivers that and more.”
About: I love animals and look forward to meeting yours! I currently have two dogs who have been with me for 14 and 12 years. I have cared for family and friends’ pets and enjoy any time spent with pets. I am retired and have plenty of free time to care for your pets. Since my dogs are set in their ways, I can only offer dog walks and in home visits at this time. Since my dogs are older and set in their ways, I can offer dog walks and in home visits at this time. Thanks for understanding.
“Cortney was so responsive and attentive to our babies. We loved the messages after each visit as well as the adorable pictures. She was incredible, we will absolutely be using her again!”
“Bonnie was so sweet to our baby girl! She was very consistent and made sure we had plenty of photos and videos plus updates on her behavior. She definitely took a lot of the worry out of leaving our girl at home for a week!! I highly recommend 😀”
“Emilee has been a pleasure to work with and I definitely will hire her again. She was thorough, punctual, and very warm towards our sweet kitties. She also takes great photos!”
“Omg… Jacqueline is a God sent. She takes such a great care of Franklin for me I came home to a happy senior cat. She is so attentive to Franklin as Franklin is a senior cat that needs medicine around the clock. The alarm went off in the middle of the night and she thinks about Franklin’s safety. She is sooo awesome and she is flexible to last minute ask due to change of my schedule. Thank you Jacqueline for loving my pet like her own.”
“I really enjoyed working with JaNiya this past week as she performed drop in visits for our cat, Mae-C. Mae-C has a new friend now and the two of them played together and enjoyed an hour long visit each day interacting with treats, games, grooming and music. JaNiya also helped with a few light chores around the house like checking the mail and watering the plants. She was also very accommodating and our cat just loves her. We have two more trips before the end of the year and we will definitely check her availability. JaNiya, we really appreciate you. Thanks so much.”

About: I have been taking care of cats for a very long time now and have grown up around them. I have 4 cats at home so I know many different things about caring for them and love them so much!
About: Greetings! My entire life I have been around and cared for dogs. My immediate family was comprised of dog breeders, so I have had a minimum of two dogs surrounding me at all times. I have helped raise, and watch dogs from the smallest terrier to the largest mastiff. You could say that I am comfortable in nearly any dog related situation. I now own a 1.5 year old Australian Shepherd, a 7 month old German Shepherd mix, 3 young goats, and run a training camp for dogs. I would love to watch your dog for you! I work from home, and my house is for the dogs already as I have doggies of my own, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your animal babies. I have a 7.5 acre farm that is in the process of being fenced in, and enclosed porches for doggy bird watching. I do have crates, but I only set them up per owner request. Dogs are allowed on my furniture.

“WOW!!!! I was blown away by the level of care and love my dog received in Lauren's care!! The property is a dog's dream come true! It's fully fenced, and there were other friendly dogs for my dog to play with all day. I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Lauren! I will most definitely take my dog back to her if I need a sitter again!”
“Stephanie was absolutely amazing!!!!!!! She sent pics throughout the time she had them and I just knew they were so loved. Thank you again! You are our new sitter!!! Love, Claire & Izzy”
About: I love animals and have always had a dog plus some fun family pets like gerbils, turtles, fish, and a cockatiel! I often care for my children’s pets when they are out of town. They have a variety of breeds: Mini Golden Doodle, Great Dane, Pitbull, Rottweiler, Lab with puppies, and cats. I’m comfortable with providing your pet with any medications or following special instructions, because I know how important their health is to you. I’d be happy to care for all of your pets. I’m retired, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets and can make most anytime work. I prefer daylight hours, and can be available on weekdays or weekends. I have a fenced backyard for your dog to play in, a nice neighborhood to go for walks, and I currently have no pets at home.
“Dolly and Dandelion loved their 7 day visit with Kristen. She sent us pics and texts to keep us posted. They came home very happy. ? It’s nice to find someone to keep your fur babies that treats them like family. Looks like we’ve found a new home away from home.”
“Gaby was very flexible with my fluctuating schedule. She was also very welcoming and patient with my pup. She reported back about his day and how he behaved during day care. I highly recommend Gaby.”
“Emily and Matt are excellent canine caregivers. This was Chloe’s first experience staying with folks other than our family and she did magnificent because of their loving care. So pleasant and caring, they took great care of our senior dog. A huge shout out to them and we highly recommend Emily and Matt to care for your pet.”

We make it a priority to ensure your pet has a comfortable experience, and we enjoy giving them special perks that make them happy.

“Stephanie was very kind and attentive to Biscotti's food, drink, and activity needs. She monitored B's social activity with her dog and two other "guest Rovers" diligently. Biscotti was calm, joyful, and appropriately tired after a full day of socialization. I would highly recommend Stephanie.”
“This was our first time trying Rover for day care and Beth was perfect. She had a huge fenced in yard for Myles to go out. He usually naps for 3 hours or more a day but he was having too much fun to sleep. When I picked him up, he was worn out. He went home and slept 14 hours. We will be going back to Beth.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and dog trainers. I’ve had cats my entire life. I work from home and live alone with 3 rescue dogs and two rescue cats. I own two Shih Tzus and one service dog that is a Schnauzer. All of my pets are dog and cat friendly. I own my own home, extra crates of all sizes for those that need crates. I have extra fences for inside and outside the home if someone doesn’t like to mingle. My fur babies are family and I’ll treat yours the same. I work from home 100% of the time. I have breaks on the hour for potty breaks and to go walk and care for your fur babies locally. I live alone with my rescues and my fur babies are my life. I work as a Professional Counselor and have a secondary Masters in Applied Behavioral Analysis. I was raised with a professional dog trainer and have a lifetime of experience. I have a fenced yard with extra barriers to keep everyone safe. My dogs are very friendly and playful and will keep your babies entertained. All of my animals are spayed or neutered with up to date full vaccinations and monthly plans with Banfield to keep them healthy. I have experience giving meds and giving subcutaneous fluids via IV if needed. Elderly and puppies always welcome. I can assist with potty training if needed.
About: Hey there! My name is Jen, and I would love to take care of your babies for you! A bit about me: I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician of 10+ years, with the majority of my experience being in surgery/anesthesia and working in emergency triage. My husband is a Veterinarian/Surgeon with 25 years under his belt this year. He does not help with care and is not responsible for my clients, but is always available for advice and input. In addition, I am a Certified Feline Behaviorist (think Jackson Galaxy!) and thoroughly enjoy working with feline behavior concerns to help keep cats in their homes. I also have experience with basic level dog training and work with a variety of local clients on basic obedience, potty training, crate training, bite inhibition for puppies, etc. in addition to professional pet sitting, boarding, daycare, and basic grooming, I am capable and available for a variety of veterinary technician services like medication/fluid administration, insulin administration, bandage changes, nail trims, etc. I also have a solid understanding of disease and parasite transmission as well as toxicity exposure/ingestion risks and act accordingly with the pets in my care. I interned for several years at Vilas Zoo in Madison, WI and for a year at Chattanooga Zoo here in TN. My husband did a residency at Montgomery Zoo in Alabama, and we met 10 years ago when we both used to own large reptile breeding businesses, primarily working with a variety of snakes. I have also spent years as a wildlife rehabber, working primarily with rabbits, squirrels, song birds, opossums, and native reptiles. Thus in addition to dogs and cats, I am well-versed in the care and biological needs of practically every species you can think of! In addition to my professional skills, education, and experience, I have immense personal experience -- essentially from the moment I was born. My mother has run a cat rescue in Wisconsin for decades, and my grandfather did the same before her. I also have been rescuing cats for the past 20 years. My parents have always kept a wide variety of pets, ranging from cats and dogs to fish, reptiles, small mammals/pocket pets, and exotics, so I have been immersed in caring for almost every kind of pet you can think of since before I can remember. I also have always had an invisible neon sign above my head that only animals can see, which has made it so that all injured, young, or lost pets and wildlife find their way to me no matter where I am or what I'm doing -- even in Army basic training when I was 20, when I rescued a 10-day-old stray kitten from drowning due to a burst pipe underneath our barracks -- so I have always had animals in my care at any given moment. In our personal lives, we have two children: my 19-year-old son and our 8-year-old daughter, both of whom have been raised in animal rescue, veterinary medicine, pet care and behavior training, etc. and have extensive skills and knowledge of their own which brings me immense pride to see. We have 4 kitties and a Boston Terrier, all of whom are very comfortable with the various visiting pet friends that stay with us. They are also spayed/neutered, UTD on vaccines, negative for all common communicable diseases, and UTD on heartworm/flea/tick prevention. My boarding pets have spaces away from our pets if necessary, so interaction is not required and separation is just fine! I have never known a life without being surrounded by animals, without my clothes being covered in fur, and without being called to help care for animals in need. It is not just what I do, but who I am, down to my very core, and brings me immense joy and gratification. I cannot begin to express how much I love what I do. I love caring for others' pets and giving them the ability to be loved and well cared for when their own loving parents cannot be with them for whatever reason. I also have frequently helped clients become aware of health concerns within their pets that they may not otherwise notice, then can have their regular DVM evaluate and address it -- ranging from skin allergies to yeast infections in ears to heart murmurs to dental disease. I feel that my career position, my education, my decades of experience, my knowledge, and my skillset, not to mention having my DVM husband handy for advice and knowledge, puts me ahead of most pet caretakers. It ensures that your babies are in the safest and most experienced, well-prepared hands they could possibly be in! I currently work remote from home as an emergency triage technician and am the Manager of Performance, Training, and Team Success for GuardianVets, so I am available 7 days per week, 24 hours per day to care for pets in my home. I also have some open availability from 8am to 10pm, so I am able to do drop-ins, potty breaks, feed, scoop litter boxes, change cages/bedding, etc. 2-3 times per day before the final visit for the evening. I can make just about any request work! Care depends on the individual pet, their breed, age, personality and needs, as well as what training and rules their parents have in place for them, and whether they are boarding in my 3600 sq. ft. home or I am caring for them in your home. Pets boarding in my home or coming for Doggy Daycare must be UTD on all core vaccines for their species with verification from their veterinarian. For puppies under 16 weeks of age, they must be UTD with the most recent booster for their age. All puppies under 16 weeks or puppies who have not yet completed all 4 vaccine boosters yet will be the ONLY boarding client I keep during their duration of stay in order to best protect their developing immune system. As you would expect, my home and all supplies (crates, bowls, etc) are thoroughly sanitized after each client. Bowls are washed in the dishwasher at over 140 degrees to sanitize, and all floors and kennels are sanitized with Kennel Care (an effective veterinary-grade disinfectant against Parvo and all other infectious agents). I do also require that all dogs boarding here or coming for Doggy Daycare are either cat-friendly or cat-neutral (meaning they ignore them). We cannot board any dogs who are cat aggressive, small dog aggressive, or obsessive cat/dog chasers, due to the risk to our pets. Even though we have a separate space for boarding dogs, the risk of injury or death is too great if they were to somehow get loose and come into contact with them. I am sorry. This specifically means dogs who have a known history of active aggression toward prey animals or an excessive interest/obsession with chasing small dogs and cats. Simply being vocal toward cats or showing interest and wanting to gently investigate is not aggression and is fine. If you aren't sure how your baby would be, you are absolutely welcome to bring them over for a trial meeting on-leash to see how they do with them first! I will always text daily updates and pics to let you know how your babies are doing and what they are up to! I am an obsessive picture taker anyway, especially with animals. :) BOARDING DOGS: I require all dogs to be crate-trained or at least comfortable being in a crate for safety reasons (i.e. if I need to leave the house for any reason, they must be able to be crated). I keep large and medium sized comfortable, secure crates with comfortable washed fresh blankets for boarding dogs, or you are welcome to bring your own! Most boarding dogs are kept in our master suite so that I can supervise them at all times. On the rare occasion where we have boarding clients from two different families, we will set the other one up in my adult son's room. They are never alone or left ignored. For outgoing dogs who adapt well to any new situation and do well with other animals, they are allowed to run around the house with us, chill on the couch, hang out on the bed and watch TV, etc, unless their parents have trained them not to be on furniture, then we uphold this same rule for them here for consistency and they are offered blankets or beds on the floor. This is always under strict supervision, no unsupervised time loose. For dogs who are more nervous/anxious in new spaces, they are crated and given 3-5 intervals of supervised 1:1 time loose in my large master suite rather than the full house, and away from the cats or our dog if they may upset them. For the most nervous babies, I usually recommend remaining crated in a larger crate so they have room to move around, as they feel most secure there, with regular potty breaks. Similar to boarding at a veterinary clinic. All boarding dogs get lots of outside play time in our yard, always on a 30-foot training leash that is attached to my hand at all times. This lets them run and play and have fun while still always being under my control and security. I do not believe in using tie-outs nor do I ever leave a dog outside alone -- whether that is a client's dog or my own. Feeding is based on their own individual preferences and requirements/instructions from their pet parents. I have all necessary bowls here, just need their food provided. BOARDING CATS: For kitties, the most outgoing, friendly, and adaptable cats are set up in our daughter's bedroom so that they have a whole room with a comfy bed and someone to sleep with at night, as well as a clean sanitized litterbox (unless they bring their own). They are also provided plenty of cat-safe toys and clean blankets to lay on. I can provide litter unless your baby has a preference for a specific type/brand, which is no issue! My daughter LOVES having boarding cats with her and will play with them with wand toys, fuzzy mice, and laser pointers for as long as they are willing, and snuggle them in bed while playing Minecraft. I take care of all the care essentials and always have hands-on time with them to ensure all is well. For the more anxious/scared kitties who prefer to hide and have less interaction, they are kept either in a large multi-level cat condo with a litterbox at the bottom, or a large wire dog crate with the litterbox on one side and a plastic step stool on the other so they can sit elevated on top or hide underneath. I set these up inside my master bedroom if I have no boarding dogs, or my daughter's room if we do. They are allowed to decompress in a quiet warm space, and I will spend lots of time petting and loving on them if they would like it, otherwise I give them their space with just periodic check-ins and caretaking (litter, food, water, etc). BOARDING EXOTICS: Species-dependent, we can discuss specifics! DOGGIE DAYCARE: Exactly the same as boarding, just for shorter periods, whether that's an hour or two while you attend a doctor appt, or 8 hours while you work! PETSITTING IN YOUR HOME: I am fully able to stay 24/7 if you prefer, or I can just stay during the day and then head home around 9pm and back again the next morning. For clients who wish me to stay 24/7 in their home, I will need access to high-speed WiFi in order to work my remote job overnight, as I work third shift. I do not have to be isolated from pets for this job, they can hang out with me. :) While I am in your home, I can sleep either on the couch or in a guest bedroom if you have one and are comfortable, either is fine with me. For couches, I will bring my own pillow and blanket. I will not do any cooking or anything that requires making a mess or cleaning up, and guarantee your home will be left in the same condition/state it was when I arrived, and will take any trash with me when I go. Your pets will sleep wherever they are used to sleeping, so if that's with a person, they are very welcome to sleep with me! I can let them out every 1-2 hours, including while working for puppies and seniors who need overnight potty breaks. DROP-IN VISITS: For pets who stay at home and have me come over for care, I usually come over 2-3x per day for potty breaks, play breaks, a walk, meal times, litter scooping, cage cleaning, etc. and overall health checks to ensure all is well. I will always treat them as if they were my own babies and ensure they get lots of love and exercise to burn off that energy during the short time we have!

Always I work from home, I have no problem staying with the pet all day playing. I love dogs, I could be with them forever. Always I treat my dogs and other people's dogs with a lot of love.

About: I’m a 46year-old pet lover with no kids of my own—my heart belongs to Oly, my service-trained Aussie Doodle! Growing up with dogs has given me a lifelong love and understanding of our furry friends. As the owner of an online business, I work from home and have plenty of time for walks, cuddles, and play. Whether it’s fun adventures, learning new skills, or cozy downtime, your pup will get all the love, care, and attention they deserve while they’re with me! Oly is fully trained off leash, and gets along with dogs, cats, and kids. He comes with me to sit. I have a flexible schedule, which means I can easily adapt to your puppy’s needs throughout the day. My own dog is fully trained and comfortable around all kinds of animals, so your pup will have a calm and friendly environment to thrive in. I provide comprehensive care for my own dog by grooming and trimming his hair and nails myself, ensuring he’s always comfortable and well-maintained. I also keep up with his training regularly, which has made him a well-behaved companion who accompanies me everywhere. Since I work from home, I’m able to offer plenty of time for walks, play, cuddles, and relaxation. When caring for others’ puppies in their home, I bring the same level of attentiveness and dedication, tailoring my approach to meet each puppy’s unique needs while ensuring they feel safe, loved, and happy.
About: People always ask me to dog sit their fur babies because they know how much I love animals! I’ve had pets since I was a little girl. I currently have an 8 month old Shih Tzu and a Maine Coon cat. Both are great with other animals. I am available any time, day or night. I am a real estate agent, so I set my own hours, which is very convenient. I mostly work from home, unless I’m out showing houses or attending closings. I am married and have two little girls that are ages 7 and 11 years old. My daughters are also animal lovers, and love helping me take care of other people’s pets. We have a large front yard and a long driveway, so there is plenty of room to run, and we are not too close to the main road. Their are lots of trees and neighbors are pretty spread out.

“Melissa was able to help us with our puppy in a last minute pinch and we were so grateful! She was punctual, kept us informed and sent plenty of pictures. Would/will definitely book again!”
About: I’ve had pets all of my life! I’ve looked after, cared for, and loved many friends & family members fur babies over the years. I love all animals & believe they deserve love, respect, & exceptional care because I know they aren’t just pets but a crucial part of the family! Pet care is my full time job. I’m home all day with very few exceptions. If I do leave I take the dogs with me (depending on how many I have) or crate them for a short period of time. Please bring a crate with you or let me know if your fur baby isn’t crate trained. If they aren’t crate trained I’ll try to accommodate them if possible. My schedule is flexible and I accommodate each animal on an individual basis. Whatever they need I’ll make sure they get it. Minutes from Cloudland at McLemore Resort Minutes from Cloudland Canyon State Park ***Drop in visits* If you want to send me your address I will definitely drop my prices if you’re within 10 minutes of me*** Pets are supervised the entire time they are in my care. I have a fenced in area so we can play fetch off the leash. We’ll take leashed walks, car rides, or under certain circumstances I’ll crate them in a comfortable safe location. I can accommodate any needs your pet might have from a relaxing quiet environment to a bright sunny front porch experience. I try my best to go above and beyond to make sure everyone involved has a stress free experience because there’s nothing worse than worrying about your pets health and safety while you’re away from them. I have plenty of room for long walks, supervised outdoor time on the runner, a big open field in back so your pets are as far away from the road as possible. My yard is partially fenced with the driveway and some wooded area in the far back open.
“Jacqueline was great! She went above and beyond, was communicative and prompt. Most of all she truly exercised my girls and they both adored her. Will definitely book her again.”
“JaNiya was amazing with my dog, Goose! I can always tell if he’s been well taken care of by how calm he is when I return from work. She even gave some love to my cat, too!”
About: I have 16 years of experience caring for pets, whether it be my own personal pets, pet sitting for others pets and working in vet clinics- Most recently in an Er vet clinic! Before I became a stay at home mom I managed the front desk of an ER vet and helping triage serious to non serious visits. I also have roughly about 1 year of vet tech experience as well! I am currently a stay at home mom so I am able to help care for your furry family members any time of the day! At this time, home visits are what I offer due to having an infant! I will be there to feed, walk, play and care for your fur baby and give companionship and a sense of comfort while you are away in your pets safe space!
About: I am different from other sitter because I will take my time and actually play with your dog. Also get to know the dog and see what they like and don’t like. I will go beyond to take care of your dog. I am free the rest of the summer. The only thing I do have is softball I play one game in the morning till July 13 but that’s it. I have a fenced in backyard with to friendly english bulldogs. They love dogs and are very nice. Also I will go pretty much anywhere to a clients home and make sure the dog is okay.
About: Dogs are life! Growing up, I have always had at least one dog that was part of the family. My love for these animals extended into college, where I began rescuing and fostering dogs with Circle of Friends Animal Society. I've been with them since 2010, and have personally rescued, trained, and adopted out 150+ dogs. Apart from my volunteer work with COFAS, I also worked for "Fetch the Leash" in Athens, GA. My time as an animal caretaker has allowed me to gain experience working with a variety of breeds and temperaments. The only thing greater than my knowledge of "mans best friend" is my PASSION for these animals. I currently have two dogs that I love dearly--I promise to love your furkids the same!
About: I have always had pets: cats, dogs, geese, chickens, rabbits, etc. I became involved with rescuing dogs over 20+ years ago and those who were not adoptable, I kept myself and then started helping with transports. I currently have 8 dogs from 8 lbs up to 80 lbs. I don't have any cats at this time because of the dog population. I am retired and would like to do something I enjoy. I am not taking in any new animals because I do not want them to outlive me and wind up homeless. Because I have so many dogs who have full access to our house, front and back yards, I would rather come to the client's house to care for their pets. I'm sure the pets would be more comfortable in their own environment. I have never done CPR on a dog but I have administered first aide and followed the Vet's orders for any illnesses or injuries.
About: I have owned and taken care of dogs for roughly 6 years now! Have cared for 8 newborn puppies and momma twice, watched big and small dogs, and have had my own puppy since she was 8 weeks old! I can walk, take on drives, do overnights, etc., for your doggies and care for them like my own!! I am currently working part time and looking for extra hours/money for the summer! I am available on weekends, and can drop in most weekdays roughly 3 times a day for a couple of hours! Whatever you prefer I can do my best to accommodate for!! I have a fenced in backyard, and a friendly and playful golden-doodle at home! I can crate your dog at your house, take certain precautions for cats and dogs, and allow them to warm up to me!

“I liked Lauren immediately and her home is such a haven for dogs! She took time to slowly acclimate my pup to the other dogs and was super responsive while I was away. It was my pup’s first boarding experience and I think he had a great time! I will definitely book Lauren again.”

“Stephanie was AMAZING!! Whatever word is better than amazing, that’s what she is! She and her family made my furbaby feel so much at home and loved on her just as I do!! I got updates with photos and videos which is so very thoughtful. Stephanie went above and beyond keeping my Mercy longer when our flights home were canceled. Stephanie will forever be someone that I recommend to family and friends!”
“Great place for our dog! Excellent care. Great communications. Loved that a meet and greet was required. Will definitely be back when we next need a place for Mini to stay while we are away.”
“I am SO glad we found Kristen! We boarded our dog Rosie for almost a week and couldn't be more pleased with the experience. Prior to booking and leaving Rosie on her first day, Kristen was very attentive and made sure everyone was calm and comfortable in the new environment. Then she sent plenty of pictures of everyone happy and healthy playing in the HUGE backyard. It's a relief knowing that we have someone to care for Rosie, where she'll get love and exercise, if we're ever out of town!”
“I've boarded with Crista several times now, and my puppers gets excited when we pull up every time. I LOVE seeing the check in pictures with him playing with friends throughout the day - he's a super social boy and very much enjoys his time there!”
“Jaxen was amazing! First time leaving my pup with someone other than my friends/ family and I was completely at ease. She sent daily updates and my pup was so happy when I picked her up. Will definitely be booking with her again for my next trip!”
“Megan and Chris were great with our pups! Sent lots of pics, which was very helpful in easing our minds about being away from them for a few days. Pups came back happy and healthy! Will definitely book again when the need arises.”
“Absolutely amazing experience! We were regularly sent pictures and updates! He went above and beyond in communication, care, and every other aspect! We will definitely be booking again! So thankful for how Tank was loved and cared for!”
“Tish was great! So great that I think my dog didn’t want to come home lol. Tish sent photos of my girl and even texted about a health concern. I will definitely use her again!”
“Will & Jillian were great with Rosie and were great about sending pictures and communicating with us while we were away! We will definitely use them again in the future!”
“Great job. Very personable with us as well as good with the dogs. Everyone got along I clueing his dog Ginger and the other guest dog. Dogs made themselves at home in as well as outside the home. We will definitely use George again.”
“Julie was amazing with our two puppies. She was very flexible and able to care for our dogs and her own dog simultaneously. She sent many pictures and updates and responded swiftly to all requests and messages. Would recommend to anyone looking for a Rover and would book with her again in the future!”
“Jamie and her girls took amazing care of our little Louie. He got spoiled with lots of love and cuddles. She sent us lots of pictures during our trip. We will 100% use her for every trip and would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Left my boy Scruffy with them after last minute plan changes, and he had a great time! I got plenty of updates and photos, as well as a video of him playing with some new friends. Would definitely recommend!”
“Jenny was great! Rosie had the best time cuddling with her and chasing her chickens! I would highly recommend using Jenny if you are in the area. We will use her again next time we bring Rosie with us for a Clemson trip!”
“I hesitate to leave a review, honestly, because I don’t want more people taking up all of Amber’s availability! She really helped me out of a jam—two jams, actually—when she accepted my last-minute booking (like, basically 24 hours notice) when my other sitter canceled for an emergency, AND she VERY generously agreed to watch my dog for an extra night when I was stuck overnight at a the airport. Amber shared daily photos and videos and other updates. She’s both proactive and quickly responsive. Will happily trust her to watch my pup anytime. But for my sake, please just…find someone else 🙏🏻”
“We were a little worried when we needed to do a long trip away from our dog, but we found this amazing family that took a great care of Samy and gave him extra love throughout the storms when he needed! We were so happy Samy spent the time with them! And we are so lucky to know we can count on them for future occasions! Thank you so much, we are beyond grateful!! ❤️”
