Dog Sitters in Druid Hills, GA

If I could give 10 stars I would! Shanielle was amazing from start to finish. I felt such peace in my soul after our first meet up & my fur baby Tam was immediately comfortable in her new vacation home. My cat had really bad separation anxiety when staying with her last sitter but to my surprise Tam didn’t vocalize or show any signs of stress at all when staying with Shanielle! This definitely added to my peace while I was away. You can tell Shanielle really knows about animal behavior and gave my fur baby the freedom to roam around and make herself at home as well as giving her space, which we all know cats truly need to feel comfortable. By the time I came to pick Tam up after her 7 day stay, it was like she didn’t want to go home yet!!! The customer service is absolutely amazing, Shanielle even downloaded the app WHATSAPP so that we could communicate while I was out of the country. I would 100% recommend booking with PetForria & am looking forward to my next trip so I can book again!

She was a blessing!! We had a last minute emergency and needed boarding for our dogs and was able to accommodate our needs. She kept us abreast of their status with consistent communication and was very kind!!

This was the 1st time I've had to use a pet sitter and needed the service at the last minute. I ended up needing the service for an extended time and PetForria was absolutely nothing short of amazing! The owner is professional, and excellent communicator, and went over and beyond with customer service. She made my cats feel welcomed, loved, and safe. PetForria is now apart of my family and I'll definitely bring my fur babies back!!!

PetForria was a life saver, as I was a last minute personal matters to attend to. Shanielle came highly recommended and she did not disappoint. As I first time dog owner I was a little apprehensive but she made Brownie feel like she was her own and I am very appreciative. PetForria forever has a client in me and I’ll tell all of my friends about her.

I had a wonderful experience. My Cali girl enjoyed herself. I have to admit I was worried at first because my baby has separation anxiety, as she was a rescued pup from a shelter. However, they had great communication and let me know what they were going to be doing all day as well as HOW Cali was doing which helped put my mind at ease. I will be using them again in the future. I would certainly recommend them.

All About Pets has provided excellence service and took great care of my puppy. She was responsive to my inquiries and provided videos and pictures upon request. Worth every penny to have the peace of mind I had while traveling.

I live in another state but I travel to Georgia a lot. I bring my fur baby with me, but I go to places that I can’t bring him sometimes. Not being from Georgia, I didn’t know where to go. I came across PetForria and I used their hourly pet sitting service. Niko was so happy!! He didn’t want his sitter to leave! Lol! Now I always use PetForria!! They ensured me that my Fur Baby would be taken care of, feel loved, and will be comfortable. And it was the truth! Thank you PetForria for providing such amazing sitters!

I was so thankful and glad I found Petforria. I was days away from leaving town without finding a suitable place for my fur-baby, Jango to go. After speaking with the owner and expressing my concern about his well-being while I was away, she assured me Jango will be in good hands with all the time and attention he needed. I was updated periodically via text on how he was doing. Upon picking him up freshly bathed and happy, I knew we found a treasure with Petforria. 🤗🌞🐕🐕🐶🐶📢📢

They really treat your pets like they are their own. I needed to use them at the absolute last minute due to an emergency trip. They were fully booked but I got on the waitlist because they were the best price. The minute an availability popped up, they contacted me. I left my dog with them for a weekend with no problems. I’m looking forward to using some of their other services like walking as well.

Shanielle is awesome! My babies love her more than me I think! I’m a little weary about leaving my babies with people because I have a pit mix & a lab, but they were little kids around her! So full of energy! She’s the best! Make sure you use her services

Jules is awesome! She's taken care of our cats across several years now, and we absolutely love her. She provides excellent care, deals well with our cats medical needs, and has handled any issues that arose without complaint or needing input. Can't recommend her strongly enough.

Jules came to our house to trim Guthrie's nails when he was too elderly to go to the vet. We're so grateful for the loving care she gave him and the insight and info she gave us as a long term vet tech. She's such a lovely person, she even cleaned his ears, which isn't easy. Thank you Toni at Highland Pet for referring Jules!

Wonderful pet care service! Our pups were well taken care of, happy and healthy. Highly recommend. Unstressed pups during a stressful holiday week- wonderful to have that piece of mind. Jules sent many pupdates with photos. Will definitely use again. 🐶🐶🐶 …

Jules went way above and beyond care for my ailing, senior Great Pyrenees. I never leave him because of his infirmities but my grandson was getting married in a destination wedding and that necessitated my absence for two nights and three days. Of course my pooch got sick but Jules took care of him and I knew he was in good hands. I highly recommend Jules’s company.

Jules is such an Amazing person and pet sitter. Our cat was going through a pretty rough time and had to leave him for a pre planned trip. Jules took such amazing care for him that I was not worried at all and knew our sweet boy was in the very best of hands.

Highly recommend!!! If we could leave a million stars ⭐️ we would! We always feel confident leaving our puppy dogs in Jules’ capable hands. Pretty sure she “speaks dog”. Our babies are always so happy to see her AND so are we! Plus she usually takes adorable photos of them and it makes us smile to see them while we are away. Just go ahead and book her, you’ll be glad you did:)

Jules and her team have been walking Lilly for the past 3 years and occasionally taking her overnight, and I couldn't be happier. Everyone who sees them out comments on how Lilly seems to love Jules and is always happy to see her! Jules is incredibly accommodating and responsive, she makes my life easier, and Lilly is happy and very well cared for. Also, I love my little status notes by the door when I come home every day. Best pet walker/sitter in Atlanta!

Jules took such great care of our dogs while we were away. Highly recommend to anyone in the Atlanta area!

Jules is a true professional. She is dedicated in providing great customer service and patient care. Jules truly is an animal-lover. You will have absolute peace of mind leaving your home and pets in her care. Her background as a veterinary technician is an added bonus. Both our feline babies are healthy but if they ever did need medical treatments, I have no qualms about her medical capacity. You can count on Jules 100%. We will definitely rely on Jules again for future pet care services.

Jules is simply the best. She's been watching our pups throughout 17 years, a move away and then back to ATL and has provided amazing advice and intel from her being a vet tech whenever we've needed her regardless of where we were. Our grouchy and (now) old doggies love her to the moon and back. We love knowing they are in such excellent and caring hands.

We have been using The Village Pets’ services for a couple of years now and no one else compares! Amazing communication and customer service with every interaction. Richard and his team are incredibly trustworthy and reliable.

Richard and Courtney took great care of my diabetic 15 year old dog while I was away for 2 weeks. They gave me daily updates with pictures and videos and expressed concern when she was not acting herself. I received a call with a major concern and an appointment was arranged with the vet to ensure my dog's health was properly taken care of. She requires injections and oral medication so they able to administer her meds. She even got a bath during her stay. Before my dog's boarding, I did a walkthrough, saw where Ivy will be (in a wide pin isolated from the bigger/younger dogs). Afterwards, I had a peace of mind knowing my little old lady would be in good hands. I highly recommend this pet sitter! Thanks for taking care of my fur baby!

This was my first time using the services of The Village Pets after they were highly recommended to me and I couldn't have been more pleased with their care! Taesia did a wonderful job of keeping us informed of our dog's well being throughout our time away and did not hesitate to reach out with questions or concerns. It was clear she truly cared about our dog and wanted to make her feel as happy and comfortable as possible! I did not feel any anxiety or worry throughout our trip thanks to Taesia and The Village Pets and I really appreciate that so much.

I am incredibly thankful to have found The Village Pets to take care of my cat while I’m away! They are responsive, compassionate, communicative and they have a neat app to schedule visits and pay for services. Very, very pleased and highly recommend!!

I have been using this service for 3-4 years now. I would give this establishment 10/10. My Fur babies are very excited each time we get there. The owners treat my Animals as if their own. The best … my pets sleep for days because the endless hours of play.

I cannot say enough AMAZING things about Richard and Village Pets. My cat is diabetic and needs insulin shots twice a day after food. It's extremely hard to travel and find help knowing that I would have to rely on someone to feed him at 6:45am/pm, and insulin shot at 7am/pm. Village Pets allows me to travel again. I have used their services twice now and never have an issue. I receive daily updates with photos. I HIGHLY recommend using them!

I used Village Pets Pet Sitting for the first time this past week, and I was so happy with the care and attention my dog and cat received from Richard. Richard was 100% reliable throughout my 8-day trip. I received pictures, video, and communication each time he visited. My dog is a fairly nervous rescue dog, and it only took about 10 minutes for her to warm up to Richard during the meet and greet. It was obvious how well he understands and connects with animals. I will definitely use Village Pets again!

I’m incredibly grateful for Richard and his pet transport services. He was highly communicative and went out of his way to accommodate my needs. The timely updates and photos he provided gave me great peace of mind. I wholeheartedly recommend his services!

Outstanding Pet Sitting! I have a household of 3 cats and 1 big dog. I got a detailed report of each visit with photos and descriptions of my dogs walking habits. My pets were happy and comfortable in my home while I was away. This lowered my stress level and theirs. I recommend The Village Pets highly!!!

So happy our vet recommended Village Pets! Karla takes amazing care of our dog and Richard is on point with communication/planning. 10/10 service, they are the best.

We moved to Atlanta about 3 years ago and have been bringing our dog here ever since. We recently got a new pup and he loves it too. The staff knows both us and our dogs and it truly warms our heart to drop them off for either daycare or boarding because they are SO excited. Their behavior heading into this place is evidence they are loved and treated well - don’t see us stopping anytime soon <3

My dog Trevi absolutely loves Spot! I trust that she is in safe care with the amazing staff. Normally my dog is a bit of a nervous nelly, but whenever we pull up to Spot she walks right in and is ready to play. Thank you Spot team!

Absolutely love this place so much I’ve been bringing my dog here for about a year and trust them so much with boarding and daycare. Everyone in the staff is amazing and so kind and genuine to the dogs. A lot of places I noticed my dog was in a kennel often isolated or not tired after but as soon as I pick her up from spot she needs a long nap lol. They are the best

My dog loves going to “school” here. She gets so excited when we pull into the parking lot. The whole team is exceptional and so caring. I feel reassured sending my dog here knowing every dog has to pass a temperament test and the staff is attentive to all the dogs. I love the pics and videos shared on Instagram. You can tell all the dogs are having a blast!

I’ve been taking my doodle here for a while now, and she gets SO excited when she realizes where we are- which is such a relief & a great sign! They love her and get her energy out so well. Each time I pick her up, she immediately passes out on the drive home. She plays hard, and always loves coming back. I’m a huge fan of their half days, as I don’t always need to leave her for very long (I wfh most days!). I love their indoor/outdoor set up for playtimes, too. The facility itself is awesome. I’ve had them wash her before a pick up, and she was so clean and happy, which is such a helpful amenity to offer. If I could give 100 stars, I would! Thanks Spot!

This was the only place I found that your pets play all day! None of the 30 minutes of play and then caged so the next group can come out. They ALL play all day. I couldn’t be more pleased with the staff. This will be Levi’s daycare of choice forever.

My dog Briggs goes here twice a week and boards here anytime I'm out of town. He absolutely loves it. Owner and all employees are friendly, attentive, and dog lovers. Only recommendation would be for them to have camera feeds of the play area - that would be fun

I cannot say enough good things about Spot and the people that work there. We have been bringing our 6-month-old Bedlington Terrier twice a week for daycare for a couple of months now, and she has also stayed overnight several times. She is a young puppy and a high-energy breed, and Spot has been a godsend for socializing her in a safe and supervised environment and getting her wiggles out. The entire staff cares about the pups as if they were their own and somehow remember all of them by name. Lambie has really come out of her shell thanks to Spot, and it's clear she loves being there - she gets so excited when she realizes where we're taking her in the mornings, and runs off to play without giving us a second glance. Kat does a fabulous job updating the Instagram, and it brightens my day to see a cute video of the pup having fun while I'm stuck in the office! Thanks y'all so much for everything you do!

Parker loves Spot for Dogs! He's very timid and fearful around other dogs, so I didn't have high hopes he would pass his temperament test. But, while he is shy, he just spends his whole day running around with the other doggies and climbing on things! He comes home happy and flat exhausted. We tried a doggie daycare nearer where I live and I was not impressed at all. Here, though, they were patient to make sure he was comfortable, and it was so worth it. I don't have to feel bad leaving him for the day or overnight. I'm so glad I found them! (This picture is him after a fun day of daycare.)

Our Labrador, Maddie has been going to SPOT for almost a year. She was almost 10 months old when she started. Boy, does she love it! All I have to do is ask her if she wants to go to SPOT, and she gets so excited. Everyone is very attentive and so good with the dogs. We have boarded her there, too. Love this place!

Our 5 month old mini poodle had his first full groom today. They did an absolutely wonderful job, he came out looking like a new dog. friendly staff and great location, will be back regularly

My pup seems to enjoy her time at Barking Hound on North Ave. They take great care of her and love having her. I know she is safe and I trust that all her needs are met. They provide updates while I am away.

We've been taking our pup to Barking Hound Village for almost four years now and are loyal customers! They always treat him well and we feel so comfortable trusting them with our dog while we are away. We love the "report cards" and updates they send us while our dog is boarded, and he always goes into daycare wagging his tail. We would highly recommend Barking Hound Village Lofts to any dog owner!

The staff is AMAZING!!! They not only love and take care your fur-babies the way you do…. You get a report card everyday your dog attends. It’s truly the HIGHLIGHT of my day. When Iggy jumps out of the car and runs to the front door of Barking Hound it makes me smile EVERY DAY! Truly the BEST in Atlanta

Had a great experience for our dog's first day of doggie daycare! Will be taking him back for socialization and play time on a regular basis. We have also been working with one of their trainers at our house to work on excitement when guests arrive and it has been very helpful.

The folks at Barking Hound Village Lofts are amazing! My dog Vince has been going to daycare, boarding, and getting groomed there for about 4 years now. He loves the people there and they treat him like family. I highly recommend them!!

Whoever calvin is, the man who groomed my dog, did a really terrible job. I don’t even leave reviews, but my dog looks so ridiculous that I have to. The first picture what I showed them, which he basically already looked like that when I brought him in, he just needed a TRIM! The other picture is how he came out looking. He has so many patches and uneven hairs I don’t even know how they were okay sending him back to me like this. Not to mention, my dog was sitting there for seven hours in a crate, because they forgot to call me to pick him up. And then, when I asked them why no one called me they lied and said that somebody called me twice and that their supervisor left me a voicemail. That was a lie. I have been getting phone calls and voicemails from people all day with no problem. Calvin did call me back to try to fix the issue and I was going to let him but I have decided to decline because I honestly don’t want him to touch my dog again so I’ll be taking him somewhere to have him evened out so it can grown back all over again smh.

The staff here really treat my Goody like a pupstar! They are kind and caring and help me remember when his vaccines are due. He has a great time playing with the big dogs, and when he’s not sure about me leaving him they go the extra mile to help him get into it. He also does great with overnight stays because he already knows and loves everyone. We are team BHV Lofts for life!

Excellent service. This was the first boarding for my fur baby Sasha. The staff was great. I was so pleased when I added the bath. Great job. Thank you so much.

My high-energy dog has been going to this location since he was a puppy. Whenever we pull into the parking lot, he starts barking and can't get in the door fast enough. He clearly loves it there, and our family loves that it tires him out!

Nice place friendly environment.

We have had Critter Sitters take care of 2 of our dogs and cat for the past 2 years. Our old sitter recently left but highly recommended Alex as someone that would be great with our paw patrol. He was absolutely wonderful! He sent us routine pictures, that were adorable of our fur kids. Even with some accidents that our kids made in the house (which I stress over anyone having to deal with) he had zero issues and always made me feel better. I would highly recommend Alex if you are on the fence about leaving your fur kids.

Teresa is an amazing person who does an excellent job. My older cat didn't like new people, but every time I had to go out of town Teresa came to my home and took great care of her. Teresa sent pictures of my cat while I was away so I could see how well she was doing. Sadly, my cat died a year ago. Recently, I got a rescued cat and one of her kittens. Teresa is the only person I will leave them with. She doesn't just care for animals. She loves them. I cannot ask for more when I have to leave them for a few days.

We recently discovered Critter Sitters and are so grateful for the wonderful impact they've made on our lives and with our pups. Teresa is a gem! She took time to get to know both of our furbabies individually including one with medical needs. She is professional and trustworthy and stays in constant contact with us. If you need a sitter, look no further!

I love Critter Sitters! Its so hard to leave my baby girls during the day but I know that they are in good paws. Our primary puppy walker is Laurel. She always sends me detailed updates and photos of them on their walk and enjoying their treats. I feel like I'm right there with them. I'm grateful to her, and the whole Critter Sitters Team, for everything they do! I highly recommend them! Thank you so much Laurel, Carolyn, and everyone for loving my girls as I do!

I used critter sitters this Christmas for my senior dog who is about to turn 14. She lost her hearing this summer and I was concerned about leaving her for the holiday but Alex from Critter sitters eased all my concerns. We set up a meet and greet, and went over all of Vivian’s needs. Alex took amazing care of Vivian, and sent daily photo updates to let me know how she was doing. Thank you Alex and critter sitters for taking care of my old girl. Highly recommend!

I recently had to leave town for a night, and as the owner of a diabetic cat, finding reliable and caring pet sitters has always been a top priority. I had the pleasure of using Critter Sitters for the second time, and once again, they exceeded my expectations. Last year, Carol took care of Cookie, and her dedication and care were exceptional. This year, I had Alex as our pet sitter, and I can't express how thankful I am for the wonderful job they did. Alex made sure that Cookie was well-fed, his litter box was kept clean, and most importantly, his insulin shots were administered flawlessly. What truly set Critter Sitters apart for me was the outstanding communication. Alex kept me updated after each visit, letting me know how Cookie was doing. The cherry on top was the photo updates that I received. Having an older cat with health issues used to be a source of stress for me when leaving town, but thanks to Critter Sitters, I now have peace of mind. Their professionalism, reliability, and genuine care for pets are truly remarkable.

Teresa was awesome with my iguana. Kept me updated on her daily routine. Took good care of her.

We’ve had excellent experience with Critter Sitters over several years with different sitters. Most recently we worked with Alex. He was like the pet whisperer! All our animals loved him immediately. Alex sent regular updates and pictures which our kids really appreciated. Thanks for taking such great care!

Mary was so awesome!!! She made me feel relaxed since I've never used this type of service before. She is sweet, patient, responsive, on time, kept me posted with pictures, videos, and any other updates. She took care of my girl as if she was her own. I'm so grateful for Mary!!!

Alex looked after my two cats while I traveled for several days and I couldn’t have felt better about what good hands they were in! He sent photos every day updating me and had no problem giving meds to one of my very picky and stubborn cats. You can tell he takes his job seriously and does his best to provide everything your animal needs during his visit (in my cats’ case it was lots of cuddles and play time). Definitely recommend Alex if you need to feel good about someone looking after your critters while you’re gone!

We have really enjoyed working with Pack Leaders and Bruno. Bruno and his team are very professional and well-trained with dogs. We have used Pack Leaders for short walks and overnight stays with Bruno, and we feel Bruno really cares of our dog. Bruno's communication is top-notch, and he is always very easy to get in touch with and sends detailed updates!

Pack Leaders ATL is GREAT! The booking & scheduling process is easy. Bruno and his team are my number one go to for our pet visits. They provide a nice report of their visit and PHOTOS! They are a professional and consistent team!

We have had a wonderful experience using Pack Leaders ATL. They are very easy to work with, schedule visits with and communicate with. We get the best updates and photos from the team of walkers that come see our pup! I would highly recommend using Pack Leaders ATL

I highly recommend Pack Leaders ATL for any dog walking/care needs! They are reliable, responsive, and take amazing care of my two dogs. Scheduling and communication is easy using their app, and they respond quickly to any requested services.

Bruno took really good care of our cats! He provides daily updates and sends photos after their playtime. We’ve been using their services for 2 years now and definitely will continue to do so.!

Excellent service all the way!! I feel very confident with them pet sitting my dog. I know my dog is happy and in great care with Pack Leaders ATL, which makes me feel at ease when I am traveling and have to be away from my dog.

Patrick from Pack Leaders ATL walks my dog every day! He is super reliable and trustworthy and Kai (my dog) absolutely loves him! Plus.. the photos they take and send me of Kai are SO ADORABLE. Definitely makes my workday much easier :)

We are so thankful for PackLeaders! We started using them daily for our two high energy 90 pound dogs after having our first baby and starting a home renovation. Bruno, Patrick, and Cody have all taken the chaos of our home in stride and helped our puppies get the exercise they need while we get used to the newest human addition to our house. They love on our dogs like they are their own pets, and both dogs eagerly wait by the door to hang out with them every day. Especially appreciate the daily reports and pictures we get!

Patrick watched our little reserved malshi this weekend while we were away. We appreciated constant updates and occasional pictures. He took a really good care of her and treated her like her own. Our dog needed to take meds and we knew we could rely on Patrick to give it to her. When we came back, our rascal was already waiting for us at home (as we requested), she was happy and well adjusted, looked like she had a nice weekend. We will definitely be using Pack Leaders in the future.

Patrick and the rest of the team at Pack Leaders have been walking my dogs for years. He is incredibly professional and responsive - I've had to ask for last minute walks before and they're very accommodating. He's incredibly good with my dog (who can be a bit temperamental around big dogs) and gives me a great update after every walk with the most AMAZING photos. I highly recommend Patrick and his team if you need a dog walker in the Midtown area!

I will NEVER take my dog to this place again. We put our dog in boarding at this place bc we were going on a trip. When my fiancé picked him up, my dogs paws were destroyed!!! He had burn marks, skin peeling off his paws and sores. Not to mention, one of the employees said that he must have just peed on his blanket this morning. My dogs blanket was SOAKED IN PISS and there were poop stains as well. I tried to give this place a chance, even when we did the meet and greet the first time and I noticed that my dog had a gash above his eye and an employee told me that they didn’t know how he got it but that “he must have being playing rough with another dog. On top of all this they charged us $210 to board my dog only for him to come back to us hurt and scared. This was animal cruelty!

We boarded our dog here for 6 nights and had a great experience! She needed a bath when we picked her up, but that is no surprise!! The employees are all very nice.

KB&L feels like our second home when it comes to care of our dogs. We’ve been taking our dogs there for daycare, boarding and training since we moved to the neighborhood in 2008 and met Joanne at Feed & Seed. She and her staff are always kind, honest and supportive. They genuinely care for our fur babies like their own!

it’s important to note that this place was sold to a corporation called Destination Pet last year, which is a Colorado-based company that buys up local places like Bark and Lounge and runs them under their old name. You aren’t taking your pet to a local small business that cares about your pets like their own. The people who worked here for years prior to the business sale are no longer there either, which I think says a lot.

Groomer was a half hour late because of traffic he drives in every day and then wanted to charge extra because I was waiting outside for my dogs as they’re special needs and may have seizures in kennels. So you’re late to your appointment, waste my time, I accommodate your process and sit outside for a few hours just to make sure I can pick up my dogs as soon as they’re done (which I’m fine with) and you want to charge me more money? And you didn’t have to groom them first as I offered to wait AND we called in advance to let you know about the special accommodations for our dogs medical issues. “Well I have another dog back there and his owner doesn’t like him being in a kennel because he’s deaf” then maybe fix your process. Absolutely delusional. never again. If you have a special needs dog don’t bring them here. Cannot express the insanity of being late to work and charging a customer with an appointment more money for not wanting their dog with medical issues to be in a kennel and you tell me “that’s just not how it works” when I’m sitting outside the door in my car. Wild. Then the front desk just tells me the groomer sets his own rates so be aware this guy can run up your tab and you can’t do anything about it.

Took my dog in for an 11AM appointment for the “Spaw Package” - nails, ears, teeth combo. Per the appointment confirmation it was drop off at 11AM and pick up at 11:30AM so we decided to wait outside… Finally at 2PM it was completed and we were able to leave. Also when booking the service “Spaw Package” it was listed at $25, when we checked out we were charged $75 - after they took $5 for it taking so long. Not even told why the price difference. If it’s based on each animal it should say so on the website. Satisfied with the final result for my dog, but very unsatisfied with the lack of proper communication.

If you love your dog, do not take him or her to court with Block and Louch. I had a tragedy in my family. The facility was full and they referred me to a guy that works there by the name of Wayne. I took my my dog to Wayne’s house, Wayne literally dislocated my dogs eyes when I called Kirkwood barking lounge, they told me that that was nothing they can do and they was trying to get ready for the day. We also called my phone back, telling me he’s going to throw press charges on me because I accused him of feeding my dog, which because my dog in the home with a dislocated eye please if you love your animals, do not support cartwheel barking lounge.

Day care and boarding were great, yet when you enter the space t an overwhelming stench of urine and who knows what else overcomes you. It was not pleasant, and after bringing my dog home from there, she too also smells of it! I understand that many dogs are inside, but wow!

My dogs LOVE this place! I even had them lodge with Twain because the facility was full and when I picked them up they were well and seemed to have adjusted just fine with the help of Twain!

We’ve been taking our pup to Bark and Lounge on / off over the years until he passed on last year. We have a new rescue pup and we tried a new Daycare / Boarding that opened a few blocks away only because it was so close … they were ok but not great so we came back to what worked for us before. I quickly remembered why we liked Bark & Lounge so much. Great customer service, detailed feedback and observation via our pup’s report card. It’s such a comfort knowing our pup is being taken care of by people who are paying attention to him! Thanks Kirkwood Bark & Lounge for continuing to offer great care for our fur babies!

We have been customers of Petmeisters for years. This past month we found ourselves stranded in NYC after flight cancellations and had to take an unexpected trip for a funeral. One of the only things we didn't worry about was care for our dogs b/c we knew Petmeisters would have us covered and that is such a relief! Petmeisters has helped us care for our elderly dogs over the years with extra love and care and helped us to train our latest crazy rescue dog. They are also great people who have become friends. If you think of your pets as family-Petmeisters is the best choice for your petsitting needs. Also, they are fantastic photographers and send wonderful pics of your pets while you're away.

Craig, Allison, and the gang have completely changed our lives! Sounds dramatic, but bear with me. I have one very loving rescue bully boy with separation anxiety/dog aggression and another that's just a tiny, spoiled, needy, old lady (she actually came down with what they called stress induced pancreatitis last time she was kenneled at a vet). I used to feel terrible guilt every time I left town, I knew they were miserable in boarding, and so I spent half my time away worrying about them. These days, I get adorable photos of them loving life while being loved on by members of the Petmeister gang! Them being so happy and relaxed means I can also relax and enjoy! Not only do they love on my dogs, but they've also saved my garden during a dry heatwave, saved my bacon when I needed to leave town last minute for a family emergency, and stepped in for last minute walks when I've been pulled in to after work functions. They even managed to win over my very hidey cat! My dogs love them so much, they sit at the door for their walks even after we've arrived home from being away. On these walks they double leash the pups for safety and even drop off the old one back home half way through to go back out and really wear out Mr. high energy. I can't say enough about them... if you're on the fence, look no further, Petmeisters is the bees knees!

Fantastic folks. Wonderful communication and they went above and beyond to help make a difficult situation easier while we were out of the country. Would not hesitate to use them again and recommend them to anyone!

We consider them family and they treat our fur children as their own! Craig and Allison are so responsive, accommodating, hands-on, and knowledgeable...they pick a great team of sitters as well. They send text updates and photos that are blog-worthy with each visit which really is the cherry on top ...we cannot recommend the Petmeister crew enough!

Absolutely fabulous. We have used Petmeisters for about a year, starting when our dog was just a puppy. Craig and Allison were referred to us both by neighbor's and our previous homeowners from whom we purchased our home. We have had a total of two walkers who walk our dog every day, (one moved out of the city and thus we were assigned a new one) and both have been excellent. They also offer boarding at their home, which we used on a recent week-long vacation. The daily photos and videos are so reassuring and nice! Craig and Allison are incredibly reliable, their their online interface is easy to use, and they are very clear with billing and scheduling. They will hopefully be caring for our dog for years to come!

It isn't possible to write a review that can describe the excellent service that Petmeisters provides. Craig and Allison are truly exceptional pet sitters. They go above and beyond what one expects from a pet sitter. They take the time to get to know each pet, their personalities, likes and dislikes. They work hard to get make each pet comfortable while I am gone. I love their innovation. Craig has built forts from old boxes for my kitties and Allison researched and provided a new feather toy that my cats are nuts about. I often wonder if my kitties like them better than they like me.

We love Petmeisters! They have done such an amazing job with our 3 dogs, and we know they’re in great hands when we go out of town. I love that they send pictures and provide updates on our pups, and we’ve been so impressed with they attention they provide. One of our dogs has a tricky medication schedule AND the ability to pick out pills hidden in treats, but Craig always knows what to do to help! We’re so thankful to have Petmeisters in our community.

We love Petmeisters! They take excellent care of our two dogs and are extremely communicative with us while we are away from home. While many boarding facilities get booked up well in advance, Petmeisters is always available to work us into their schedule. I really appreciate being able to leave the dogs at home while we travel knowing that they will be well cared for and given plenty of attention.

Petmeisters has been caring for our rabbit and three cats for over two years now! Craig and Allison (the owners) and their crew have been 100% reliable and go above and beyond the daily duties of feeding and cleaning the litter boxes, no matter if we’re on a two day trip or two week trip! They never fail to send daily updates with detailed messages and cute pictures of our fur babies. They water our indoor AND outdoor plants, take out the trash, collect mail, and bring in doorstep packages. Last December our house was broken into while we were visiting family in California. Even with the three hour time difference, Petmeisters continue to call/text us until we responded. They secured the house, made sure all the animals were ok, talked to our neighbors, and called the police. Another time I was locked out of my house and they brought me a house key! Craig and Allison and the rest of the Petmeisters crew are more than great pet sitters, they’re great neighbors! Thanks for providing such excellent service in our Decatur community! :D

We feel extremely fortunate to have found Petmeisters. In the short time we've been using them, Craig and Allison have been amazing and have not only provided excellent care for our pets, but have cheerfully dealt with situations above and beyond including late notices and medication administration to our challenging older dog. Their love for animals is obvious. From the moment they arrive you can see it in the way they greet your pet and the professional yet affectionate way they handle them. As very anxious pet parents we really appreciate how they seem to anticipate your concerns and are able to address them empathetically and put you at ease. They are wonderful at keeping you updated about your pets when you are away. We know our 6 year old feral rescue Kiki and our 17 year old rescue shepherd mix Elsa are in good hands and it has meant the world to us to have this peace of mind. We whole-heartedly recommend Petmeisters!

We have been taking our dog to Frogs to Dogs for about a year and have utilized their group classes, day camps, and boarding. Our dog has grown to love multiple staff members and is happy every time we take her. She has made significant progress due to their work on obedience, socialization, and reactivity. I would recommend Frogs to Dogs to anyone!

I’ve been brining my dog to the group obedience classes for the past 9 months. We have loved training with Bonita during this time. Her classes are well structured and she is able to keep in mind the goals of all the students in class and create class scenarios that balance everyone’s goals. I also love how flexible the classes are, as my schedule is often varied and I can’t make it to the same day/time every week.

My dog Opie and I have been going to the FTD group classes for about 6 months now. I LOVE the trainers especially Bonita! Elijah and Mary are wonderful also! We try to go twice a week. Having classes at different locations has really helped my dog not only learn all the things, but adapt and desensitize to distractions in different environments. Saturday intermediate class walks in downtown Decatur are so good! It’s also beneficial to meet people and their dogs in all stages of their learning. We love Frogs 🐸 to 🐶 Dogs!

Frogs to Dogs to the rescue again! We have loved working with F2D since its early years and have always been thrilled with the team. A few weeks ago, we decided to do a trial adoption of sweet, one year old, Rosie. During the trial, we had to travel unexpectedly and Frogs helped us out in so many ways. Although it was a busy holiday week, Frogs was able to help us with board-training and temperament testing to help ensure our new rescue pup was the right fit for our family. The daily report card and videos are so fun to see and helpful! We can’t wait to start group training classes soon with our new family member! I can’t recommend F2D enough!

We have been working with frogs to dogs for the last year and have seen so much improvement in our reactive dog. The private lessons, day camp and group classes have helped with her general obedience and reactivity. The report cards and videos help us train her and support her learning. The frogs to dogs team has patiently answered all of our questions on how to successfully introduce our dog to guests and any new behaviors we have noticed in our dog. We have also boarded our dog with frogs to dogs and she comes back to us with exceptional manners. Our dog is always excited to go to frogs to dogs and we are so happy with all the progress!! I would recommend anyone to use frogs to dogs for training or boarding!!

Our 5 month old shelter pup started out with Frogs to Dogs about a month ago, and we have had such a positive experience. The communication and feedback we received from every single staff member exceeded our expectations. We had LOTS of questions before we paid for the board and train for two weeks as it is an investment (but on par with other training facilities) and everyone we spoke to was very patient and made sure we understood everything. There were 5-10 videos posted every day so we could see our dog playing and training, and I was able to come by on weekdays for brief mini sessions to practice the lesson with my dog. The primary trainer was available to us throughout the day by phone. Our dog LOVED it there and I think he was a little sad to leave. I really like their training philosophy— if you’re looking for a board and train without use of e-collars, I highly recommend Frogs to Dogs. It was well worth our money and we plan on returning for more classes.

Waddles and I have been coming to frogs to dogs for over a year now! We have been with Bonita since day one and love being able to continue to have her as our trainer. She has helped me understand Waddles and strengthen our bond! I always feel safe when I am with Bonita because she always keeps the safety of everyones dog first! Seeing Waddles grow into the confident little pooch he is now fills my heart with joy. We were able to to the CGC certification, he barks less at other dogs (he's a spirited corgi... so this is huge!), and he has confidently gone into an elevator! All of this is because of the focus, dedication, and care of Bonita! Waddles and I love the structure and lesson plans of each class. I can tell he never gets board. Waddles loves attending training so much that if I say "Do you want to see Bonita?", he will bolt down the stairs and wait to get into the car! Needless to say, we are huge fans of Bonita and her passion for training!

Caring for your dog like their own is Frogs to Dogs. Our dog was recently adopted from a high volume GA shelter, terrified of the world. Her week stay at Frogs to Dogs and frequent socializations with the kind staff made a huge difference, helping her to trust again that she will be cared for and loved. The daily videos from the caring staff and trainers were the highlight of each day until we could pick her up. Can’t thank them enough for helping Paisley transition to being a fun loving dog again!!!

They were very professional, accommodating, and friendly when it came to boarding our dog for her first overnight experience. She was there for 4 nights and they provided daily videos of her interactions. Would go there again with no hesitation, may even perform pet training in the future.

There is no question that this facility knows what they are doing. Their programs are executed thoughtfully to benefit the dogs. I see such positive outcomes over time. There have been no miracles, but real, slow, measurable , meaningful change for all of us. Thanks, team!
