Personalized care for your dog or cat - Tallulah Falls
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Tallulah Falls
“Ms. Katherine was the perfect find for myself and my dog. She was able to accommodate my last minute request and enabled me to take along my trusty dog on a long weekend trip. The comfortable homey setting and her sensitive, devoted care put my mind at ease while we were apart. Her updates and photos confirmed my confidence that my 12 year old Aussie cattle dog was safe and happy. Katherine provides a real service with real love for her furry guests. I wholly recommend her and will call on her again next time in in the Smokies. Doug H.”
“Mikaela was amazing! Flexible with our changing schedule. She sent us updates and photos multiple times throughout the day which made us feel more comfortable about leaving our fur baby behind. The kennels were spotless and the run area was large and well kept. We would definitely use her again.”
“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.”
“Kate was excellent in caring for my little Khloe while I was away on a business trip. She is very friendly and even arranged a meet and greet before the drop off day. Kate was excellent with communication and sent me daily updates and pictures of my pup. Overall it was an excellent experience and Kate made me feel comfortable about having to leave my pup for a few days. I already rebooked Kate for my next business trip!”
“Our pup warmed up to Darby and her family quickly and enjoyed having some playmates. Darby sent photo updates and followed all instructions. Would use her again for our boarding needs.”
About: As a lifelong dog lover and current online college student, I offer a highly flexible, work-from-home schedule that ensures your pet will have constant supervision, regular bathroom breaks, and company throughout the day. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt to your pet's specific stage of life; I am fully equipped to handle the high-energy demands, potty training, and crate routines of young puppies, but I'm equally patient and observant when it comes to the quiet environments and precise medication schedules required by senior dogs. Ultimately, I focus on routine consistency, molding my daily schedule entirely around your dog’s normal habits to keep their anxiety low and make them feel right at home. I work from home and stay around town, so caring for your fur-babies is no trouble at all! If they do well with car rides, I am more than happy to bring them along to run any errands or to the ball fields! I have a large yard, plenty of room inside, two sweet and playful dogs to keep them company, and a 6 year old boy who loves puppy cuddles and all the play time he can get!
“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 have left our little Gracie with the Hulsey's multiple times and every time we have been very happy with her care while she's there. More importantly, Gracie is happy - she gets so excited when we get to their house. It's such a relief to know that she is being well cared for while we're away.”
“Tara was great with Trapper. She was super flexible and easy to work with and sent several pics so we knew he was having fun and being well taken care of. We weren’t sure if he’d be ok playing with her dogs, but they were super sweet and immediately accepted him as part of the group. He had a blast while we were away.”
“This is our second time leaving our dog with Sylvie and will definitely continue in the future. She took great care of our dog and sent us pictures every day. I would highly recommend her.”
About: I have been passionate about pet care since I was very young. I take care of all kinds of animals! From ferrets and rabbits, fish, cats, and of course dogs. I worked at a vet clinic for some years and learned a great deal and acquired valuable experience! I also went to school and got certified as a professional dog trainer and have been doing that off and on for the past 5 years. I fostered shelter dogs and puppies for a long time. Even raising litters of foster puppies and kittens at times! Dogs are my true passion and I have a lot of knowledge on the subject. I will handle reactive or difficult dogs and breeds with confidence and ease. My first dog was quite reactive towards other dogs so I am very familiar and comfortable with the attention and management that requires. Don’t worry about it! If you have had trouble with sitters due to your pets behavior and/or difficulties, I am your person! I will watch any animal with any temperament or any difficulty. I have most recently been working at dog grooming salon for the last 1.5 years so I am able to provide grooming services as well! My whole life revolves around taking care of animals so your schedule will fit right in! Just let me know what works best for your animals! Crating or keeping dogs or different animals separate is no issue for me, I can give medication, do routine walks or make sure they are exercised in their own yard if needed. Just let me know your expectations and I will make it happen.
“We left our dog with Licia and Paul for the day while we rafted the Chattooga. They let us do an early am drop off because we had to be at the rafting place by 7:45am. They were very easy to communicate with and have a lovely home with 2 other dogs. They gave updates that we received after we got off the river and our dog seemed to enjoy his day with them! I would highly recommend them to anyone needing dog care in the North Georgia area!”
About: I grew up on a farm caring for all types of animals. I’ve always had to make sure all of them were feed and water. I’ve dog sit for family friends before while they went out of town and i had to go to their house and feed, water them, take them out to play and use the bathroom, gave them baths if they need them. I took care and dog sit all kinds of animals and sizes, from puppies to older dogs, and even cats too, all up to farm animals. I’m a stay at home mom to a 2 year old. I have a 3 year old male dog that’s unaltered. I’m available anytime to dog sit or board. I have a house with a nice little yard for your fur babies to run and play! I’m always going outside every 2-3 hours almost to walk my dog. Of course I will walk your dog first because I know my dog can hold it until afterwards
“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 🦋”
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.
“Kristi did great with my dog and kept me updated on how he was doing throughout his stay. He had some separation anxiety and she was very patient and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable.”

“Mikaela was so sweet and responsive while taking care of my cat. My cat is skittish and hides, but Mikaela made sure to “have eyes on her” to make sure she was ok. I appreciated the photos Mikaela took. It really helps to see what is going on with your pet. I would not hesitate to use Mikaela again.”
“Ro did a fantastic job looking after our 2 cats. They have very different needs and she cared for them both. She also left our house clean and tidy. Thank you Ro! We have already booked her again!”
About: I have grew up around animals. I volunteered at a vet's office and was also in agriculture classes in high school. I have since got more experience working with animals for about 2 years as a kennel tech at a vet’s office and animal shelter. I’m also certified in pet CPR and currently in school for dog training. I’m trying to build a career up in the animal field to eventually have a business as a dog trainer, doggy day care, and possibly boarding as well. I’m currently doing in school for dog training so I’m not working anywhere right now. So I’m trying to pet sit well I’m finishing school. I’m also hoping during pet sitting I can meet lots of wonderful dog owners and dogs to hopefully since I’m trying to make a career in this as well. So I’m available daily but I do go to church on Sundays so it would be after 2p that I would be available. Unfortunately I currently can board dogs at my house right now but I’m hoping to be able to in the future. But I don’t make that at a owner’s house when taking the dogs out they are on a leash if needed. I also make sure that I do exactly what requests the owner’s have and just treat the animals like I would want my animals treated.
“This was the first time we had left Pip, our 12 year cat with anyone. We were nervous about how he would do having someone in his house. Could not have gone better. Dixie was great! Always sending updates, pictures and videos. Very obvious Pip was comfortable with her and glad to be in his own home. Will definitely schedule with Dixie again.”
“Jesse does a great job of keeping the animals on schedule and I was so relaxed all day knowing he was coming by to check on them twice while we were at a ball game in Athens.”
“Kristi was great! She communicated with me, sent pictures and seem to positively relate to our babies. We have old cats and one requires medication twice a day. Some sitters we have had were not always able to give her the medication. Betsy let her do it without too much trouble.”

I walk my dogs on leash on our property. For you I’d do what your pet is accustomed to. I’m very flexible and able to work with what works for you best.
“Aaron was great with Maggie and Gus. They are always a little shy at first, but warmed up to Aaron quickly and even allowed belly rubs and head pats which is AWESOME and a sign they approve! The daily report cards, photos and playtime with each of them made us feel very comfortable with the care provided while we were away for the holidays! Aaron was super responsive and kept us in the loop always! We plan to be repeat customers if schedule permits!”

“We had our three dogs spend a day with Kathrine while we were visiting the North Georgia Wildlife & Safari Park during a week long stay at Unicoi State Park. They say they each give Ms. K four paws up for a fantastic visit for a total of 12 paws up. We unfortunately got a flat tire just before reaching her house, so we had to do a tire repair there and we got to see how quickly our pups calmed down around her as a new person and being in a new location. We definitely would not hesitate to use her again.”
“We love Licia and Pete and are SO GRATEFUL to have such a pup-loving couple to hand our precious Sachie off to when we go rafting. Wish we could tip more, but River only allows so much. I always get a check in call from Licia to confirm all details early on (so I don’t have to initiate the call!) and our little baby comes back super happy and well-taken care of. Thank you sooo much for another great rafting trip! We appreciate you!!!”
About: I am an experienced pet sitter and have been an animal advocate for over forty years. As a vet tech, I can also care for pets with special needs. I am retired and can devote my time and attention to caring for people’s pets. Our own pets are very welcoming to other dogs and cats. We have a large fenced-in backyard and a home with many dog beds and crates are available if that’s preferred. All pets are treated as members of our family. I am also available to visit pets in their own home, once or twice a day as needed.
About: I bring a lifetime of hands, on experience and a naturally calm presence. I’ve cared for dogs and cats at every stage of life, from puppies and kittens to seniors, starting with volunteering at a veterinary hospital at age 12. I’m especially good at reading animals and helping them feel at ease in a new environment. I work from home, and pet care is part of my everyday routine. Being around animals, caring for them, and paying attention to their needs is second nature to me. The best part of my day is dog walks and cuddles. I focus on helping pets feel comfortable and secure. I stick closely to what they’re familiar with and take my cues from the animal. 💛
“Julia and her husband and her father were FANTASTIC!!!! They are so kind and Pepper had the best time playing with them and their pup Sara Mae. We did not worry a bit about her while we were gone because we knew she was well taken care of. We will absolutely ask Julia to help with Pepper again!”
About: I’ve cared for my two Aussies for over 6 years and my cat for more than 9 — we’ve shared countless outdoor adventures and even traveled through parts of Europe together! I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and nothing makes me happier than playing with them, helping them burn off energy, and snuggling up for cozy indoor days. Your pet will be treated like family — loved and cared for as if they were my own! I have 3 years of on/off use with Rover. I am currently at home full time until late June, and then unavailable until August with military training. My days with your pet are very flexible! I’ve recently moved back to my lovely hometown in North Georgia, where I now have 3 acres of fully fenced pasture and backyard space for pets to run, explore, and play safely. It’s the perfect environment for dogs who love being outdoors while still having a cozy home to relax in. No part of my home is off limits—we love snuggling on the couch or in bed. Dogs must be comfortable with cats!
“Thank you Cat, You saved our little girl from being stuck in a kennel while we attended a wedding. So nice you offered this service for visitors like us. We appreciated the photos you sent too. We'd hire you again any time! Best to you, Chris and Sue and Penny”

“Hannah was excellent! She has a large fenced in backyard that’s perfect for dogs (and kids!). Her communication was timely and efficient. I received nice pictures of my girl while I was traveling which was reassuring. I would definitely use Hannah again!”
About: I got my dog when I was 13 and she was the best thing that happened to me. She was the most loving and caring dog I ever met but lost her to a serious illness and I just love to give out my heart to animals and would love to spend some time with your animals. I am a stay at home mom and the moment. Son is five and in kindergarten and he loves animals just as much as I do but because I’m not completely over losing my dog I haven’t been able to get him a dog for himself. I’m home and have a dog park right now the road from me so keeping dogs a breeze. I always have an eye on the animals. Never feed food other then the kind given. Nothing in the rooms that they would stay in that could hurt them.

“We've used Ro a couple times for over night stays and walks during the day and they've always been great. The most recent visit was for mid day walks. She was super communicative and helpful. One of our dogs had tummy issues and she went back to check on him and put him in his create to avoid accidents in the house. I'm so grateful to be able to trust her and that she's willing to go the extra mile for our animals.”
About: I am passionate about taking proper care of your pets and looking out for their needs such as exercising them and of course, belly rubs! I am totally flexible. I do not have any sort of other job or responsibilities. However, I do ask for at least one week notice. I specialize in doing overnight stays in your home as I do not have any pets of my own. No husband no kids, no grandkids. So I am flexible to spend a lot of time with your pets while you are gone. If you prefer, I can board your dogs in my home. I have a fenced in yard and we exercise every morning on a walk or an outing in a peaceful,safe and quiet country setting. I never have more than 4-5 dogs at a time, so everyone gets lots of individualized attention.

“Catherine was super easy to work with. We booked a last minute walk with her - she was super responsive and took such good care of our pup! Highly recommend booking with Catherine!”
About: I have grew up around animals. I volunteered at a vet's office and was also in agriculture classes in high school. I have since got more experience working with animals for about 2 years as a kennel tech at a vet’s office and animal shelter. I’m also certified in pet CPR and currently in school for dog training. I’m trying to build a career up in the animal field to eventually have a business as a dog trainer, doggy day care, and possibly boarding as well. I’m currently doing in school for dog training so I’m not working anywhere right now. So I’m trying to pet sit well I’m finishing school. I’m also hoping during pet sitting I can meet lots of wonderful dog owners and dogs to hopefully since I’m trying to make a career in this as well. So I’m available daily but I do go to church on Sundays so it would be after 2p that I would be available. Unfortunately I currently can board dogs at my house right now but I’m hoping to be able to in the future. But I don’t make that at a owner’s house when taking the dogs out they are on a leash if needed. I also make sure that I do exactly what requests the owner’s have and just treat the animals like I would want my animals treated.

About: Since a little girl, there has always been dogs inside or outside of the house. As of right now, I have six dogs all different sizes, ages, and personalities. Therefore, I am very comfortable handling anything from energetic puppies to senior pups who need a gentler space. I understand how to manage multiple dogs at once and read their body language to make sure each one gets the care they need. Because of that, I am patient, adaptable, and used to real life situations. I treat every animal like they are my own regardless of where I am (why I have 6 lol), and make sure they feel safe and loved. I am currently a freshman in college who is fully online. Therefore, I have plenty of time on my hands to play with your pups and get what they need! During the summer time, I will be doing this full time as I will be on break. I have a large yard with many pups yours can play with. If needed, I can easily crate your dog if that is what you prefer, however, all dogs are welcome on the furniture here. I also have a quieter space for the older, wanting to sleep dogs🙂
About: Ever since I was 10 I have had experience taking care of animals. At one point in time we had 26 animals throughout our house that we had to care for. I take pride in caring for animals because they are a true joy and blessing in this world. I also have a dog of my own who is very well trained that I have had for 7 years now. I have quite a lot of free time. Therefore, potentially walking and taking care of your pets will not only give me something to fill my time with but also give me immense enjoyment! Any scheduling conflicts you may have won't be a problem for me! My house currently does not have a fence, however I will gladly walk your pets on a leash if need be. I have a lot of experience with animals and have no problem walking or putting your animals in a crate if it is what is needed.

About: I have always had a dog that I could share adventures with. I know the feeling when you are busy with work and need a reliable dog walker or house sitter that will care for your dog just as you would. Now that I have time, I would like to help others with that. I am available to housesit your dog most any weekend and beginning June 1 through August 15th, I am available to house sit most anytime. I have been a teacher for 20 years, so safety is always at the center of each decision. If I were caring for a dog in another family's home, I would be mindful of security, house alarms, locks, and also what the pet could possibly get into inside the home that could be dangerous. I would follow all requests and procedures in the home indicated by the family.

About: I have over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. I have owned and cared for my dog, Luna, since she was just 2 months old, giving me experience with everything from puppy care and training to daily exercise, feeding, grooming, and providing lots of love and attention. Growing up, I also helped care for my family's dogs, which taught me responsibility and how to meet the unique needs of different pets. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and treating them like part of the family. 🐾💕 I spend most of my time with work, and with my dog outside that is why pet care will fit into my daily routine smoothly, since I am pretty much an outside person all day. I care for my pets just as I would my babies I provide water and food and plenty of toys. I will make sure that they are outside releasing energy and also inside doing stimulatory games. I have games that consist of finding treats, and even some that consist cold treats.

“Ms. Katherine was the perfect find for myself and my dog. She was able to accommodate my last minute request and enabled me to take along my trusty dog on a long weekend trip. The comfortable homey setting and her sensitive, devoted care put my mind at ease while we were apart. Her updates and photos confirmed my confidence that my 12 year old Aussie cattle dog was safe and happy. Katherine provides a real service with real love for her furry guests. I wholly recommend her and will call on her again next time in in the Smokies. Doug H.”
“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.”
“Kate was excellent in caring for my little Khloe while I was away on a business trip. She is very friendly and even arranged a meet and greet before the drop off day. Kate was excellent with communication and sent me daily updates and pictures of my pup. Overall it was an excellent experience and Kate made me feel comfortable about having to leave my pup for a few days. I already rebooked Kate for my next business trip!”
“Our pup warmed up to Darby and her family quickly and enjoyed having some playmates. Darby sent photo updates and followed all instructions. Would use her again for our boarding needs.”
About: As a lifelong dog lover and current online college student, I offer a highly flexible, work-from-home schedule that ensures your pet will have constant supervision, regular bathroom breaks, and company throughout the day. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt to your pet's specific stage of life; I am fully equipped to handle the high-energy demands, potty training, and crate routines of young puppies, but I'm equally patient and observant when it comes to the quiet environments and precise medication schedules required by senior dogs. Ultimately, I focus on routine consistency, molding my daily schedule entirely around your dog’s normal habits to keep their anxiety low and make them feel right at home. I work from home and stay around town, so caring for your fur-babies is no trouble at all! If they do well with car rides, I am more than happy to bring them along to run any errands or to the ball fields! I have a large yard, plenty of room inside, two sweet and playful dogs to keep them company, and a 6 year old boy who loves puppy cuddles and all the play time he can get!
“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.”
“Tara was great with Trapper. She was super flexible and easy to work with and sent several pics so we knew he was having fun and being well taken care of. We weren’t sure if he’d be ok playing with her dogs, but they were super sweet and immediately accepted him as part of the group. He had a blast while we were away.”
“This is our second time leaving our dog with Sylvie and will definitely continue in the future. She took great care of our dog and sent us pictures every day. I would highly recommend her.”
About: I have been passionate about pet care since I was very young. I take care of all kinds of animals! From ferrets and rabbits, fish, cats, and of course dogs. I worked at a vet clinic for some years and learned a great deal and acquired valuable experience! I also went to school and got certified as a professional dog trainer and have been doing that off and on for the past 5 years. I fostered shelter dogs and puppies for a long time. Even raising litters of foster puppies and kittens at times! Dogs are my true passion and I have a lot of knowledge on the subject. I will handle reactive or difficult dogs and breeds with confidence and ease. My first dog was quite reactive towards other dogs so I am very familiar and comfortable with the attention and management that requires. Don’t worry about it! If you have had trouble with sitters due to your pets behavior and/or difficulties, I am your person! I will watch any animal with any temperament or any difficulty. I have most recently been working at dog grooming salon for the last 1.5 years so I am able to provide grooming services as well! My whole life revolves around taking care of animals so your schedule will fit right in! Just let me know what works best for your animals! Crating or keeping dogs or different animals separate is no issue for me, I can give medication, do routine walks or make sure they are exercised in their own yard if needed. Just let me know your expectations and I will make it happen.
About: I grew up on a farm caring for all types of animals. I’ve always had to make sure all of them were feed and water. I’ve dog sit for family friends before while they went out of town and i had to go to their house and feed, water them, take them out to play and use the bathroom, gave them baths if they need them. I took care and dog sit all kinds of animals and sizes, from puppies to older dogs, and even cats too, all up to farm animals. I’m a stay at home mom to a 2 year old. I have a 3 year old male dog that’s unaltered. I’m available anytime to dog sit or board. I have a house with a nice little yard for your fur babies to run and play! I’m always going outside every 2-3 hours almost to walk my dog. Of course I will walk your dog first because I know my dog can hold it until afterwards
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.
“Kristi did great with my dog and kept me updated on how he was doing throughout his stay. He had some separation anxiety and she was very patient and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable.”
“This was the first time we ever left Ziva with a sitter. She usually travels with us but we had a trip planned that we could not take her with us. We were very pleased with Justine & Roman upon meeting them and introducing them to our pup. Ziva seemed well taken care of and they told us they really enjoyed having her. We will definitely consider them when the need for her to be boarded again.”
“Our pup absolutely loved staying with Sandra. Her home and yard are perfect for playing and hanging out. We also really appreciated all the pics and videos she sent us. We felt totally comfortable leaving him with Sandra and would definitely use her again.”
“Oh, Robin is very good and easy to work with. She sent us a picture of Baby while we were gone. When my husband picked up our dog, he received a report on how she was during her stay. We will definitely use Robin again.”
“Excellent communication the entire time! Pictures and updates were sent often which made me feel so much better about not being with my kitty! My Cheddar felt so loved by this family, he can’t wait for next time!”
“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!”
“Charlie had a great time! Leaving him at home with a sitter caused him anxiety--he didn't want to be left alone and would stop eating. Instead, he stayed in a pet-friendly environment with 2 other dogs, and a couple cats. Stefanie was very responsive to my concerns about Charlie.”
