“Our pup had such an amazing time with Julie and her family! From the moment we arrived, Chiko felt right at home and quickly became part of the family. He loved playing with their two doodles, Chase and Rusty, and even got to meet their goats, pigs, chickens, and play with their kiddos. Their fully fenced yard (many acres) was perfect for safe playtime and gave us extra peace of mind. Julie went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable leaving him, especially since Chiko is deaf and uses a special collar. She took the time to learn how to communicate with him, which gave us such reassurance. We loved the adorable photo updates throughout his stay, and when we picked him up, he was one happy (and tired!) pup who fell right asleep as soon as we got home. We are so grateful to Julie and her family for the wonderful care they gave our pup, and we can’t wait for him to stay with them again. Highly recommend!”
“Erin was amazing!! She sent me updated photos of Bentley everyday! Great communication, Bentley instantly loved her the moment I dropped him off. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing he was in good hands! Highly recommend Erin, she will take care and love on your dog like they are her own! Thank you, Erin!”
“Reyna and her family took amazing care of our pup! He loves to run and they had plenty of space for that. Our return flight got delayed and Reyna was very accommodating to take him another night for us. Our pup came home tired and happy:)”
“Lena was very gracious to meet & greet with us on short notice. Her home is 100% set up for the comfort & safety of the pups! I could see from the video & pictures that Lena sent me that Leda was very comfortable during her stay. Our flight was cancelled an hour before boarding so we were unable to travel and returned to get Leda that same day. I was prepared to pay Lena for the entire weekend, but she graciously insisted that I should only pay her for that one day since we had such long day at the Atlanta airport and unable to take our weekend trip. I will definitely be using Lena for our sitter again.”
“Angie was great with Chewy. I could tell that he trusted her and was very comfortable with her. She was great about sending us updates and pictures each day. We are very thankful for her time and commitment to him.”
“Ashley took great care of our dog. I felt very comfortable when leaving him with her. She sent great pics and updates showing us what a great time he was having. Definitely will be boarding him with her in the future.”
“Wynema and family were great. We did an overnight before a longer trip so everyone could meet and make sure keeping our high energy 8mo old puppy was a good fit for all and it was. I’m totally comfortable leaving her for a longer period.”
“Shawna was amazing! Our pup felt right at home and got all the love she demanded. Shawna and her husband are the kindest people and really know how to make everyone feel comfortable. We would definitely book again!!”
“I ended up reaching out to Maggie for a day of boarding. We were traveling in her area, and I asked if she’d take care of my pup for a few hours while we went out for my birthday dinner. Sadly, we had a last minute emergency and didn’t end up using her services. That being said, she was very kind, communicative, and flexible. I appreciated the interaction immensely, and I would reach out again in a heartbeat if we lived in the area!”
“Lacole was great with my dog! She kept me updated several times on how he was doing and even sent a few pictures! I didn't have any worries that he was not being cared for or loved! Thank you so much, Lacole!”
“Our little Morkie, Molly, has stayed with Esmeralda multiple times. Each time, Molly has had a full play day with Esmeralda's little furbabies. Molly is content, happy and safe when she visits Esmeralda. We always receive photos and updates throughout the day. We will continue our visits to Esmeralda whenever we are in town and visiting the Blue Rideg area and need a sitter.”
“Lynn was amazing with my dogs. I have 3 big dogs which can be a bit overwhelming for some, but she never once faltered at taking them into her home and treating them as her own. I received pics daily, they were snuggled daily by her entire family, she bought food toppers so they would eat while I was away and even gave them a toy to bring home. My dogs felt at home and did not come home stressed as they typically do from regular boarding. I will trust her to keep my babies anytime! She went above and beyond, loves animals, and it shows. 10/10 recommend her to baby your babies!!”
“My boys LOVE being with Stephanie and her family. She recently kept them for 2 weeks…she sent pictures throughout their stay. She sent them home tired and clean! I definitely trust Stephanie with my boys any time.”
“Candie was quick to respond to a very last minute booking. She and her family were so kind and welcomed our dog to her family for a lengthy period of time. Jax had a blast playing and swimming. We received pictures and an update every evening. We will definitely book again!”
“Emily was great with my older pup. Was very attentive with her medicines, her food specifications and her initial weariness. My dog quickly took to her and they were soon playing fetch non stop. She kept me updated, was a great communicator and even sent me some pupper pics to ease my mind. Would absolutely leave my special girl with her again.”

About: I've always loved taking care of animals and have been surrounded by pets for as long as I can remember. I truly enjoy making sure pets are happy, healthy, and well loved whether that means feeding, walking, or just spending quality time with them. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, and small animals, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I spend a lot of time at the dog park with my own dogs, especially my high energy pup who needs plenty of exercise and playtime. I understand how important it is for active dogs to burn off energy in a fun and safe environment, and I bring that same care and attention to every pet I look after. I'm a school photographer, which means I work seasonally and have a pretty flexible schedule for most of the year. This allows me to be available for pet sitting, especially during off-peak months. I’m reliable, love animals, and happy to help care for your pets when you need it! When pet sitting, I prioritize safety by carefully following any instructions you provide, keeping pets in secure environments, and making sure they’re never left unattended in risky situations. I build trust through consistent routines, gentle care, and regular updates to pet parents. I also create a calm, familiar environment by maintaining pets’ daily schedules, offering plenty of affection, and ensuring they feel at home even when you’re away.
“Nicole was amazing with our daughter’s kitten! She opened her home and heart for him and sent pictures daily. We (especially our daughter) felt so much relief knowing he was being taken care of so well and that helped give us peace of mind during our vacation.”
“I am so grateful my fur-baby was cared for by Sonia. She was incredible and very communicative! She made my trip worry free with pictures of Nebula every day. 100% would recommend her to all my friends and I would rebook Sonia in a heartbeat!”

“Ashley did a great job with my dog Joey. He is a tiny dog with a big personality, issues and demands. Ashley put me at ease and I felt comfortable leaving him with her. He came home relaxed and tired out. I will definitely use her again.”
About: Hi, I’m Maggie! I’ve had dogs my entire life and can’t imagine a home without them. I have lived on a farm surrounded by dogs, horses, and cats, which gave me years of hands on experience caring for animals of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. After losing my beloved German Shepherd, I began fostering others through rescues. A journey that’s been both healing and incredibly rewarding. It’s deepened my understanding of different temperaments, training needs, and the importance of patience, structure, and gentle consistency. Whether I’m boarding, house sitting, or stopping in for a visit, I focus on creating a calm, loving environment where every pet feels safe and cared for like family. I treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I am currently working almost full time. I can spend evenings with your dog. I am usually gone around 6-8 hours a day at most. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I would only take outside on leash. I have a cat. I can keep the cat separated if needed.
“Esmeralda offered the perfect day care experience for our little morkie, Molly. We were visiting in the Blue Ridge area and had activities planned for two days that would not allow us to bring our pet along. Esmeralda's home was a peaceful retreat in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood. Our little morkie gets overwhelmed and stressed at boarding facilities. But she was happy and playful when I picked her up each day. Esmeralda sent updates and photos both days and was genuinely happy to see Molly each morning. We will definitely use Esmeralda again when we travel to the Blue Ridge area. We highly recommend her!”

I would enjoy having a side job to play with more animals in my life I have two acres of land and plenty of grass to roam around on. I have a fence with a closing gate and I can walk the dogs with as much time needed. They are in good hands !
“Superior experience! ..and communication. Plenty of area to explore and run, much better than a dog park, and typical kennel daycare/boarding. Rhett was pooped out! Highly recommended.”
“Reyna and her family let my high energy 2 year old golden come hang out with them flr Memorial Day weekend and they were fantastic! Benny came home completely exhausted and I knew he was in very good hands. They were thoughtful with how they introduced him to the other dogs and had a great property for him to run around and play on. Will definitely bring him back!”
About: I’ve always had dogs at home, up to three at once! Most all raised and trained from puppy stages. I had a disabled dog recently who lost usage of her back legs and was incompetent. She required lots of help and being carried around but was a sweetheart. Currently I have eight geckos as well as two snakes, a skink, two cats (mostly outdoor) and one dog. My dogs name is Luna, she’s almost two years old, deaf and mentally special but as friendly as can be! (Several rooms for separation of my dog if needed as well as my crate. So far she gets along well with others) My current weekly routine is as follows: Monday: Feed Cats and Dog x2, feed and mist geckos Tuesday: Feed cats and dog x2 Wednesday: Feed cats and dogs x2, feed and mist geckos, feed skink, feed hognose Thursday: Feed cats and dog x2 Friday: Feed cats and dog x2, feed and most geckos Saturday: Feed cats and dog x2, feed skink Sunday: Feed cats and dog x2 Feed and mist geckos Saturday I go out about every hour and a half for potty breaks.

I have one friendly pup to keep yours company and I have a spare room. I have the ability to crate my dog and space for a crate for yours if provided. We go out after every food and water break, get lots of cuddles and extra play time!
“Max enjoyed his time with Lena. She was very attentive to him and provided him with great care during his visit. This was his first time away from his family, so her kindness was very important. Max made a new friend with Lena's Yorkie, Freddie. Lena sent us a very nice photo of the two new friends. We will definitely contact Lena for future visits to that area. Thank you very much, Lena!”
“When Margo stays with Yuwadee, I know she is being loved and that she is having a great time playing with Barney. Yuwadee always sends me pictures and updates, and I never have to worry. Margo loves going here. She can't wait to get out of the car when we pull up.”
“Monika is a friendly and caring person that took care of our fur baby just like she was her own. She sent video updates of our pup throughout the day so we could enjoy our day away without worrying about how things were going.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life and have always had pets of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust. I’m comfortable with dogs of any size. I have 2 dogs of my own. I’m available for visits and walks in the evenings in May. I’ll have week day and weekend availability in June and July. After July, I’ll be available mostly on weekends. I will follow any rules and routines you have set for your pet when visiting and walking your fur baby. I will make sure doors, gates, and crates are properly secured before leaving. I’m happy to send photos of pets if requested.
“Took very good care of my baby. Freya came home happy and very wore out. She received a lot of attention and a lot of play time. Lynn took her to dog park. I will use Lynn again and will refer her to anyone.”
About: Your dog will enjoy their very own private indoor kennel, complete with a cozy bed and a TV for entertainment! We even have a special door leading to their fenced-in outdoor area, so they can roam and play whenever they want. Plus, to keep you in the loop, we send updates throughout the day so you can relax, knowing your furry friend is having a great time! Your pet will have the freedom to come and go as they please through their own doggy door, which leads to a private front porch enclosed by a secure six-foot fence. This safe outdoor space allows your dog to explore and enjoy the fresh air while keeping them protected. The covered porch provides an ideal spot for your furry friend to relax and soak up the sun, making it a perfect retreat for cozy naps throughout the day. Your dog will love having their own special area to lounge and bask in the warmth! Pet owners are responsible for providing their pets with the appropriate food and any necessary medications to ensure their health and well-being. Our kennels prioritize safety above all else, which is why each dog is housed in a secure space surrounded by a privacy fence. This separation prevents any mingling between dogs, creating a calm environment that protects their individual comfort and safety, as well as the safety of our caring family. We take every precaution to create a secure and nurturing environment for all dogs in our care.
“Her flexibility was so very important on this trip and she went with the flow of our revisions amazingly well. She's terrific and very loving to our dog Betsy who is deaf and 13 years old. Betsy was held and cuddled the entire stay. It's obvious that she's a committed and caring dog lover. What a treasure in these hills! Highly recommend her services to any and everyone considering her to care for your dog! You won't find better!”

“Alyssa was a perfect fit for Kirby!! I could tell he had a lot of fun and enjoyed his day because he slept like a rock. When I brought Kirby back for his second day with Alyssa he ran right up to her and acted like he was home. Friendly neighbors, perfect secluded spot to feel safe, and loving people. Kirby and I are excited to use Alyssa’s service when we are back in her area.”

“Maggie did a great job walking our two dogs. She is responsive to requests, arrives on time, and our dogs (Husky and Maltese) were comfortable around her. She demonstrated good experience interacting with our dogs and taking them on their walks. We won't hesitate to use her again as our future walking needs arise.”

About: Hi! I’m Wynema with Harvest & Haven Farm. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them isn’t just a job—it’s something I genuinely love. Our farm is home to chickens, ducks, goats, donkeys, dogs, and more, so your pet will be joining a family that’s used to providing lots of love, attention, and care. When your pet stays with us, they’ll have plenty of room to explore, play, and relax in a peaceful farm setting. I know every animal has a different personality, so I take the time to get to know each one and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet loves to run, cuddle, play, or simply nap in the sunshine, my goal is for them to feel like they’re on their own little vacation. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’ll care for them the same way I care for my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! 🐾🌿 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already live and work on our farm. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze into my schedule—it’s what I do every day. Since I’m on the property throughout the day, pets receive frequent potty breaks, exercise, playtime, enrichment, and lots of attention. My flexible schedule allows me to adapt to each pet’s individual needs, whether that’s extra cuddle time, medication, or a slower pace for senior pets. Because I spend so much of my day outdoors and around animals, your pet will be part of a calm, active environment where they’re treated like one of the family—not just another booking. 🐾🌿 Our entire property is fenced in. Your furrbaby will have 6 acres to explore and play. We also have a separate fenced paddock to separate animals, if need be.

“Our pup had such an amazing time with Julie and her family! From the moment we arrived, Chiko felt right at home and quickly became part of the family. He loved playing with their two doodles, Chase and Rusty, and even got to meet their goats, pigs, chickens, and play with their kiddos. Their fully fenced yard (many acres) was perfect for safe playtime and gave us extra peace of mind. Julie went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable leaving him, especially since Chiko is deaf and uses a special collar. She took the time to learn how to communicate with him, which gave us such reassurance. We loved the adorable photo updates throughout his stay, and when we picked him up, he was one happy (and tired!) pup who fell right asleep as soon as we got home. We are so grateful to Julie and her family for the wonderful care they gave our pup, and we can’t wait for him to stay with them again. Highly recommend!”
“Reyna and her family took amazing care of our pup! He loves to run and they had plenty of space for that. Our return flight got delayed and Reyna was very accommodating to take him another night for us. Our pup came home tired and happy:)”
“Angie was great with Chewy. I could tell that he trusted her and was very comfortable with her. She was great about sending us updates and pictures each day. We are very thankful for her time and commitment to him.”
“Ashley took great care of our dog. I felt very comfortable when leaving him with her. She sent great pics and updates showing us what a great time he was having. Definitely will be boarding him with her in the future.”
“Wynema and family were great. We did an overnight before a longer trip so everyone could meet and make sure keeping our high energy 8mo old puppy was a good fit for all and it was. I’m totally comfortable leaving her for a longer period.”
“I ended up reaching out to Maggie for a day of boarding. We were traveling in her area, and I asked if she’d take care of my pup for a few hours while we went out for my birthday dinner. Sadly, we had a last minute emergency and didn’t end up using her services. That being said, she was very kind, communicative, and flexible. I appreciated the interaction immensely, and I would reach out again in a heartbeat if we lived in the area!”
“Lacole was great with my dog! She kept me updated several times on how he was doing and even sent a few pictures! I didn't have any worries that he was not being cared for or loved! Thank you so much, Lacole!”
“My boys LOVE being with Stephanie and her family. She recently kept them for 2 weeks…she sent pictures throughout their stay. She sent them home tired and clean! I definitely trust Stephanie with my boys any time.”
“Candie was quick to respond to a very last minute booking. She and her family were so kind and welcomed our dog to her family for a lengthy period of time. Jax had a blast playing and swimming. We received pictures and an update every evening. We will definitely book again!”
“Emily was great with my older pup. Was very attentive with her medicines, her food specifications and her initial weariness. My dog quickly took to her and they were soon playing fetch non stop. She kept me updated, was a great communicator and even sent me some pupper pics to ease my mind. Would absolutely leave my special girl with her again.”
About: I’ve always had dogs at home, up to three at once! Most all raised and trained from puppy stages. I had a disabled dog recently who lost usage of her back legs and was incompetent. She required lots of help and being carried around but was a sweetheart. Currently I have eight geckos as well as two snakes, a skink, two cats (mostly outdoor) and one dog. My dogs name is Luna, she’s almost two years old, deaf and mentally special but as friendly as can be! (Several rooms for separation of my dog if needed as well as my crate. So far she gets along well with others) My current weekly routine is as follows: Monday: Feed Cats and Dog x2, feed and mist geckos Tuesday: Feed cats and dog x2 Wednesday: Feed cats and dogs x2, feed and mist geckos, feed skink, feed hognose Thursday: Feed cats and dog x2 Friday: Feed cats and dog x2, feed and most geckos Saturday: Feed cats and dog x2, feed skink Sunday: Feed cats and dog x2 Feed and mist geckos Saturday I go out about every hour and a half for potty breaks. I do not have a fence but I have a large pasture as well as lots of leads. I’m willing to walk for hours with your pet on a leash! I have one friendly pup to keep yours company and I have a spare room. I have the ability to crate my dog and space for a crate for yours if provided. We go out after every food and water break, get lots of cuddles and extra play time!
“Astrid is not an easy dog to handle, but Lauren did amazing!! Astrid trusted her almost immediately which never happens. Per the pictures I received daily she looked like she was having a blast! Lauren is fantastic and I would recommended her to anyone!”
“Alyssa was great with kopa and accommodating all of his needs. He is usually anxious so I was a bit worried but she was patient and loving and he opened up quickly! She kept me updated and sent pictures, would definitely use her again!”
“Tiffany was wonderful with our Baby Boy; Fitz! We had never left him with anyone before; and Tiffany made us feel comfortable and at ease when we met, at her home! We received pictures and videos of Fitz; He was happy all the time!!! We will definitely contact Tiffany again! We highly recommend her!!”
About: I have two of my own dogs. One of them actually just had puppies and I delivered them and took care of them myself. I love big dog breeds I work full time until four Monday through Friday. I would have time to after I get off work. I am very excited to be helping others with their dogs. I take care of my two golden retrievers I have all the time. I take them on long walks everyday after I get off of work and they are very well trained and behaved
