Toby and Chloe were amazing pet sitters. It wasn’t the easiest sit - a nervous dog and 3 cats with various ailments and medication to have, but they took it all in their stride and cared for them so well without any issues. Our nervous dog Zelda warmed to them in just 2 days which is a record for house sitters so far! I also really enjoyed getting to know them over dinner the night before I left, they’re very easygoing and positive people. They also left the house spotless for when I came back. I would love to have them sit for us again. You can rest assured your house and animals are in safe hands with this lovely pair!
I was fortunate to have Hillary return for a second sit. She took excellent care of both my cat and my home. She got on well with my neighbors and even allowed my friend to come visit Suley while she was there. I especially appreciate how flexible and accommodating she was regarding arrangements for a sitter who would be taking over for the second part of my very long absence. All in all, Hillary is a gem!
Kristi was an absolutely incredible sitter -- I think our favorite one ever! She was easy to communicate with, kind and personable, and took great care of our pets and our house. It was the first time we had left both our dog and our cat with a TH sitter and Kristi went above and beyond. She was very self-sufficient but provided fun updates and pictures and our pets loved her. Highly recommend!
Nathalie and John were great! They were great house sitters to watch our two dogs, 2 geckos, our old cat and bull frog. Their two girls took good care of the animals as well. The house was exactly how we left it. We really appreciated their help!
Angel was absolutely the best house sitter we could have hoped for. She is a very warm, open and diligent person and our two cats adored her. She looked after our house and garden with really conscientious care. She won over our very timid cat, Billie, and sent regular photos of both cats looking supremely content which gave us perfect peace of mind. The house was completely spotless on our return and the garden was fabulous... no mean feat since there was a heatwave while we were away and she kept everything watered and in great condition. We would have Angel back at the drop of a hat and cannot recommend her highly enough.
Ruoyi was the perfect sitter for our cat Toni! We would highly recommend her to any pet owner, and hope she can sit for us again in the future. Ruoyi was very thorough - she made sure there was full alignment on all the specifics of her pet duties, and she asked thoughtful questions regarding details we forgot to include in our guide. She always provided us timely updates at the agreed cadence, and gave us a ton of photos. From the photos, it's clear she got in a lot of play time with Toni, which we really appreciated! :) We were able to enjoy our entire vacation stress-free knowing Toni was in such good hands. Ruoyi left our apartment completely clean and offered to wash linens.
Elyse was one of the best pet sitters we've ever met! Couldn't recommend her more. We hope she stays at our place again. She sent many pictures of our beloved cats throughout our absence. We returned to our cats seeming relaxed and happy as ever. She also left our apartment sparkling clean. 10/10 :)
If Macie and Roman ever apply to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the. offer. You will not be disappointed. They are among the top (if not the top) sitter I've ever had and I've been on this site for years. Primarily, they are very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Macie and Roman kept me abreast of their plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk them through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Macie and Roman really care. When they got to my apartment after a very long morning of traveling, I explained the care instructions and they were very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Macie and Roman followed those exactly. Third, Macie and Roman make you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out of hiding very quickly and was snuggling with them and letting them hold him. It was so nice to see the pictures of them all bonding! Macie and Roman have a calming energy towards animals for sure! Macie and Roman were also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 30 minutes. I really appreciated that. Fourth, Roman and Macie will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Macie and Roman also respects your property. We had a room we asked them not to enter and they respected that. In short, Macie and Roman are amazing. I would have them back in a heartbeat. If you have any questions I would be happy to answer them. Ask Macie and Roman for my number.
If Cung ever applies to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the offer. You will not be disappointed. Cung is among the top (if not the top) sitter I’ve ever had and I’ve been on this site for years. Primarily, Cung is very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Cung kept me abreast of his plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk him through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Cung really cares. When he got to my apartment after what I assume was a long day of traveling, I explained the care instructions and he was very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Cung followed those exactly. Third, Cung makes you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out within an hour of me being away - very fast for my cat as he is shy. Cung must have a calming energy towards animals. Cung was also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 5 minutes. I really appreciated that. My cat threw up at one point and Cung answered all of my questions to assess whether my cat was sick or had just eaten too fast. Fourth, Cung will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The sheets were washed and folded on my bed. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Cung also respects your property. I have an extensive computer setup that he used for work and he was very respectful of that equipment. He asked if he could use it beforehand, which was incredibly polite since he could have used it and I wouldn’t have known. In sum. You need to jump at the opportunity if Cung offers to sit for you. I came home to a very happy cat. Hope he will sit for me again sometime!
Steven was a great sitter for our black lab Souris and cat Pinot. They were well looked after and really liked Steven. Our house was in good order when we got back and Steven was kind enough to give us a lift to and from the airport. He was very flexible, arriving day early so we could show him around.
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least 20$ per visit, per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
Pawssion Doghouse was excellent! They took our booking at the last minute and took great care of our dog on Christmas Day! Drop off was before 9 AM and pick up was after 8 PM but that was no problem for these folks! Excellent stay!
I was traveling with my dog and needed to make a stop in Atlanta were her company wasn’t possible. My Lola loved her visit to Pawssion Doghouse and we give them a 4 paw review. 🐾🐾 Thank you for taking such good care of my girl.
I want to start off by saying thanks to Kevin for being an awesome individual in addition to business owner. He provided top notch service for my dog Bruno. We were able to enjoy our Memorial Day travels with the reassurance that our pup was safe and having the time of his life!! Definitely recommend and will be sending Bruno back!
We got called out of town on short notice the week of spring break and all the big boarders were full. We discovered Pawssion and Kevin took our little man in. What a happy dog he was. Sat on Kevin’s lap while he worked, ran and played in the big fenced yard and the nice big deck. Our baby was not shoved in a cage surrounded by howling frightened dogs; he was one of the family there for the weekend. Our dog loves these folks and so do we!
These are my go to sitters for my kiddos. We have 3 big doggies and the team were able to accommodate us at the last moment and a great rate. One of my pups is a little skittish but they were in great hands. Definitely will be using them again.
It was an incredible experience and both of my dogs had such a great time. Very communicative throughout their stay and always kept us updated with picture of our dogs having a good time. I was more than comfortable with our dogs being with Kevin and the team and are excited to have our dogs stay with him again. Thank you for everything Pawssion Doghouse!
This is our second time using Kevin Ortega Negron and Pawssion Doghouse. My wife and I appreciate how well our dogs are cared for while we're away. We highly recommend and will use them again the next time we go anywhere.
Kevin and Ashley are both so great with Poppy! It’s rare that I have to board Poppy, but every time single time I need to, this is my first stop. Highly recommend Pawssion!
Our pup Sadie had the time of her life at Pawssion Doghouse! As a very active and social dog this was the perfect environment for her to run free with her new friends. We were able to enjoy our family trip knowing she was well taken care of as well as getting plenty of playtime. We joked that it was just like summer camp, 🏕 but for pups 🐶 Thank you to the awesome Pawssion crew! 🫶
Fantastic service. Both Kevin and Ashli are super friendly and passionate and have been so helpful with our little pup. Highly recommend!!
Grateful for the care provided by Cherish Pet Services. Destiny stayed in my home for 5 days while we went out of town and went above and beyond for my senior dog who struggles with change to routine. She was patient, caring and truly took the time to figure out what my girl needed to feel comfortable each day. My other dog has separation anxiety and can't be alone so the care provided was a big request but Destiny and Debbie both worked it out so someone could be there at all times. When we got home the dogs were relaxed and fell right back into routine easily. Thank you!!!
Cherish Pet Services is the absolute best. We needed a 10-night stay with our 4 beagles. Debbie and Destiny at Cherish Pet Services not only took care of our hounds with the instructions we left but also took care of our home while in Europe. They sent daily pics/videos. We came home to an immaculate home. No dog hair on floor. Beds with fresh sheets. Clean water bowls. Mail neatly stacked on table. Trash taken out. Brought in trash can after collection. Watered our plants and even took care during 1 night of frost by covering them. They truly went above and beyond. Highly recommended! Cherish Pet Services were chosen since they are bonded and insured, back-up staff, and provided an in-person interview. With their exemplary services we will continue to choose Cherish Pet Services for our taking care of our fur babies!
I was so pleased with the care Carrie gave my two cats. She sent photos or a video every time she visited and both cats were always walking towards her and looking content. They seemed comfortable with her and I was too. I’ve already requested her for next time.
I have Maximus (Max) a Great Dane pup with lots of energy and he can be a handful! He is pretty good overall but still working on some manners! I needed someone to visit 3 times a day while I went home for the Holidays and I have also used them for daily visits when Max needed a midday visit while I was as work. Cherish Pet Services has been invaluable to me knowing my BIG baby is in great hands! And they are always flexible if I need to change the schedule or add additional visits!! They also update me if they notice anything different with Max's - eating, making sure he does his business, anything physical they see….which is very helpful to make sure there are no bigger issues! And Max loves his visits - especially with Josh!! Thank you for all you do Cherish Pet Services!!
We rarely leave our pups, but we felt so comfortable leaving them with Allie from the team at Pampered Pet Care and Sitting! Since one of our dogs has terrible separation anxiety, we did the 24 hour overnight in home pet sitting which worked out perfectly. Thank you to Pampered Pet Care and Sitting for spoiling my boys over the holidays and loving them like your own!
Amazing group that loves and cares for pets as I would. Sometimes I think my cats would rather have the sitter than me when I come home! Haha! Also does a great job medicating as well. Five stars isn’t enough in my book to praise this group!
Lindsay is an excellent pet sitter!!! Both of my cats took to her immediately. She has continued to go above and beyond my expectations every time she takes care of them. I would recommend her to any one with cats as she truly loves them and treats them as if they were hers!!!!
I was so pleased with how my elderly cat was taken care of when I suddenly had to go out of town that I rebooked immediately for another trip. I’m super picky about who has access to my home and pets but am 100% comfortable with Danielle; she even sent photos and updates every day! Peace of mind, professional service and kind pet care = total happiness. I’m so happy a family member recommended this firm.
We had, I think, am unusual request to have a dog sitter at our hotel while we were visiting Atlanta. I was afraid my Bichon would bark while we were out to dinner and the symphony. Pampered Pets was able to accommodate us, and we had a great sitter in Veronica. Prompt, friendly, attentive to our dog, and a joy to interact with. The next time we’re in town, we’ll ask for her again!
This was the first time leaving my cat's for an extended period of time and I had no concerns while gone. My cat's were very well taken care of and I would not hesitate to recommend Cherish Pet Services to anyone needing care.
Kiara was great with my dogs! They were spoiled by the time I picked them up Lbvs 😅. I was looking for boarding literally at the last minute and she came through for me. The process was simple. Very accommodating. Took pictures and kept me updated on their daily activities. I would definitely use her services again in the future. 🙂 …
Kiara was a great help in a last minute situation with providing my big baby a place to stay overnight at a reasonable price. I also like the fact that she sent pics of him and kept me up to date with anything that happened. I will be using her service from now on, & she also gave Tyson a gift box for staying
Googled Pet Boarding and found Kiara in time for my trip to Cancun. I am always hesitant when leaving my dog but Kiara reassured me she would be in good hands and she was right. I was provided updates in a timely manner and cost is feasible. I picked up my dog and I can tell she did not go through anxiety while being away. I am grateful to have found Kiara because she is available to tend your dogs 24/7 while in her care. I will use Kiara moving forward!
I called A Day in Cali very last minute to watch my going-on-senior pug. From the start, Kiara was very responsive and patient with me, answering all of my questions. As I am not from Atlanta and was just traveling through for a quick trip, Kiara made me feel very comfortable leaving my dog. My plans were very up in the air, and Kiara was extremely accommodating, meeting me (and helping me navigate Atlanta!). She texted me updates throughout the night and next morning and took my dog on some really fun adventures. I appreciated how cared for my dog was. I do not believe she would have gotten this much attention at any other pet boarding location. Thank you, Kiara, for everything you did for Glitzy! We hope to be back in Atlanta soon.
I recently moved to Atlanta and was looking for a reliable and safe option to board my 8 year old male Vizsla. Finding a place to board had been tough because my dog is not neutered. He is very docile and has anxiety around male dogs due to bad experiences with them. Benelli and I met Kiara and we instantly got along. She was very attentive to our needs. She goes the extra mile to ensure my pup feels comfortable in the house among other dogs. She routinely keeps me updated on his day and gives him a lot of love. I travel quite a bit for work and have to leave pup behind. Kiara has earned my trust to care for my most prized possession. I highly recommend Kiara to all my dog friends!
Kiara is absolutely wonderful with bruiser and Charlie we never have to worry when we leave them with her because we know she takes very good care of them they love her. We feel very lucky to have such a great caretaker for our pets feel like our children and we trust them completely in her care.
It was my first time boarding my pup and A Day in Cali did a great job. Kiara was sure to communicate with me and keep me posted on how my baby was doing for his first time. When he was a little nervous, she was sure to comfort him with lots of affection. She even gave him a doggy goody bag for his departure. Very sweet! 😁 …
We left our 4 yrs old Japanese spitz with Kiara for a week and she was great. She picked him up from our house and also shared photos during the week and messaged us a lot about how our dog is doing. She also made sure to spent time with him before so he feels more comfortable with her. I would definitely recommend her.
We highly recommend Kiara! She was able to fit us in last minute and watched our fur babies for a week while we were on vacation. She kept us updated our whole trip and even sent us some pictures! We appreciated her professionalism and reasonable pricing! We would definitely use Kiara again in the future!
I was nervous at first for my furry babies to have to go somewhere new but I had to find a place for the holiday because I had accidentally waited to late to make other reservations. I came across this business and decided to give it a try. I’m glad I did! Kiara is so sweet and awesome with dogs. The environment was much more personable for the babies and they didn’t have any issues. I checked on them everyday and Kiara responded almost right away. Thanks again for everything :)
Joliz is an excellent pet sitter!!! Apollo took to her immediately. She has continued to go above and beyond my expectations every time she takes care of him. I would recommend her to any one with pets as she truly loves them and treats them as if they were hers!!!!
Joliz is a certified pro. I travel without stress and worry. I think my dog and plants like her better than me. She is great. Five stars!!!!
Amazing service! Friendly, passionate, and punctual. Seriously, Joliz is just super cool. I trust her in my house and even my grandmothers. Thank you always. I’m glad we’re friends.
She was amazing with our babies! Thank you Joliz! We will definitely be reaching out to you again very soon!
Tilly and Bob were in safe hands while my family was in DisneyWorld. Joliz is a dog whisper I guess. I was watching magic on my RING camera.LOL. Thank you again.
No one has ever in 13 years taken better care of my girls….all 4 of them. Joliz has literally been like a 2nd mom across the board & a good teacher to the puppies Ella Mai & Mayte
We love Joliz! She’s a true animal lover and will treat your babies like they are her own. She’s incredibly dependable and reasonably priced. It’s hard to find someone you fully trust with your pets these days, and we are so grateful to have found Joliz. She gives us the best peace of mind when we are out of town. We can’t recommend her enough!
Joliz is the best care taker that we have ever had. She is very flexible and really cares for the dogs. I would recommend her to anyone seeking a professional.
My dog is very fragile. His temperature really needs checked in the summer months. Thank God for Joliz. She took him to the vet and groomer . Thanks on behalf of Louis the bulldog. Thanks again.
I think my animals love Joliz more now 😐 …
I have had the pleasure of crossing paths with Gwen professionally many times over the past decade, so when we needed a pet sitter, using Pet Sit Girls was a no-brainer. The entire team has been a pleasure to work with, and I am so thankful for our sitter, Sydney, who has been exceedingly patient in earning the trust of our fearful rescue dog. It's such a relief to not have to worry about our dogs when we go out of town!
Janet has been taking care of my kitties for years, always responsible, and always meticulous. I've used services from different pet-sitting and cat-boarding providers, but Pet Sit Girls is the only company that gives me peace of mind when I'm away from home. Can't say enough good things about Gwen and her team. From the initial Meet & Greet session, you can tell that they put heart into their business.
I'm very happy with pet sit girls. I have used them many times now for dog and puppy walking. Tim does a great job, the dogs seem to love him. He always send photos and a little daily report card. I would highly suggest this business over a rover app find. They also (although it has never jappened) will send a 2nd person if the 1st dog walker misses the appt. So that's a nice safe guard to be in place too.. but Tim has never missed an appt. And always shows up on time. Thanks Tim and team!
These women are fantastic! I met three of the ladies (Gwen, Rene, and Stacy) and they were all professional, kind, responsive, and best of all extremely caring of my dog! On top of accommodating all of our needs, we had two last minute changes to our travel plans, and they were able to help us in a pinch. The client portal is very user friendly and makes booking appointments, payments, and messaging very simple. I would highly recommend Pet Sit Girls and will absolutely be using them in the future! Thank you PSG!
We love Gwen and Pet Sit Girls!! We always feel so safe having our pup in her care. We appreciate all the updates provided while we are away! Highly recommend Pet Sit Girls!!
Gwen and her team have been so wonderful to my furbabies. Constant communication and follow up, going above and beyond to make sure they are happy. I feel so safe when they are in their care ❤️
The best sitting service! We have used them for years when we lived in Atlanta. Gwen and Stacy always responds in a quick and timely manner even when it is last minute request.
Pet Sit Girls provides highly reliable service tailored to the needs of each pet with great attention to detail.
Very professionally run, completely trustworthy, excellent and caring pet sitting.
My puppy Phoebe is 6 months old and I have been going to Kimberly’s since I got her. I cannot say enough positive things about my experience. From day one, Kimberly made me feel at ease when leaving Phoebe for the first time. She is constantly with the dogs and always sends amazing picture and video updates! It truly sets the standard so high for any other daycare facility! No comparison. Phoebe is ALWAYS so excited to go there and is very happy to see Kimberly’s smiling face when we pull in. Kimberly makes everything super easy and I am so so grateful to her for making both me and my puppy feel at home. She treats Phoebe like she is her own which makes me so happy! Kimberly’s yard is the most perfect spot for a dog to play and Phoebe loves to run around and sunbathe! I am beyond grateful for meeting Kimberly and I know going there is the best part of Phoebe’s week!!
They say that no one can love your kids as much as you love them. Well, 'they' haven't met Kimberly! Kimberly has been an irreplaceable part of our lives for over 6 years, quickly becoming a part of our family and a second mom to our dogs. Her place is their home away from home, and for that, we are endlessly grateful! Beyond her exceptional care, Kimberly is a wonderful communicator. She captures lots of moments of their day on her Instagram, allowing me to watch my boys have the time of their lives while I’m away. My husband and I sometimes joke that our boys have it better at Kimberly’s than at our own home. It's like they're the ones going on vacations, not us! And as if Kimberly wasn’t perfect enough, she's also a fantastic photographer! All my favorite photos of my boys originated from her lens. I really can't recommend her highly enough - she's truly one of a kind!
Kimberly recognizes that our beloved dogs safety, comfort and well being is of utmost importance. She has passionately studied canine behavior for over a decade and deeply understands the human and dog relationship and the dog to dog relationship. Her wealth of knowledge and keen sensitivity attunes her to each individual dogs needs. I am so grateful that my dogs can go here to socialize with her pack, play with other dogs, go for walks/hikes as well as rest & relax with other canine companions . Kimberly’s professionalism, genuineness , honesty, and kindness are a great comfort bringing peace of mind when my dogs are in her care. I also love seeing the stunning pictures she takes of the pups!
My wife and I can not recommend Kimberly’s K-9 daycare and boarding services highly enough. Her place truly sets the standard by which all other doggie day cares are judged. We have two Ridgebacks who absolutely love love going to Kimberly’s place and playing with all the dogs there. They view Kimberly as their second mom! She treats all pets in her care as “family”, and as such the dogs view Kimberly as their “pack leader”. She is in full control of what goes on and does a masterful job of not only understanding individual dog personalities but also overseeing how each dog affects the dynamics of the pack as they interact in her backyard. Speaking of “backyard”, Kimberly has the perfect playground for your pets to run, play, and socialize. Kimberly is ever present. She monitors and stays fully aware of how everyone is behaving. Invariably, she will post on instagram so you can see how things are going. Bottom line, Kimberly’s Doggie Day is the best we have EVER seen. She is a great communicator! She’s an incredibly kind and giving person who clearly loves what she does. Highly recommend!
Kimberly is THEE BEST simply put! She is super attentive, communicates (Sends a bunch of photos, videos, updates), knowledgeable of dog behavior and I could go on and on. She really is such an amazing person with the sweetest spirit and my Beau loves his days with her!
Kimberly is simply the best and we highly, highly recommend her. She has cared for our beloved Doberman numerous times from when she was a puppy to a senior dog. Kimberly’s incredibly knowledgeable about dogs, their temperaments, and managing canine groups. She’s also exceptionally caring for individual dogs’ needs, and thorough and proactive in communicating with us about our dog’s day. An added bonus- she’s an incredible photographer!
Kimberly has cared for two of my dogs and does a FANTASTIC job! Her knowledge of canine behavior lets me rest easy knowing that my dogs will be in a safe environment where they are under direct supervision at all times. Her home and yard are well maintained and I have no worries about my guys “bringing something home”. I especially appreciate the fact that it’s never chaotic when I drop off or pick up my dogs. It makes things much easier for me because I don’t need to wrestle maniacs out of or into my car. Ransom and Johnny Ringo love being there! All 3 of us give her 5 stars.
Our dogs love going to daycare and being boarded with Kimberly. The level of care she provides has made it impossible for us to trust anyone else with our pups. She’s so in tune with dogs and their emotions which is huge when you have a group playing together. Our dogs go once a week and stay with her whenever we need an overnight caretaker.
If me and my wife suddenly disappeared and someone had to take custody of my Great Dane. I wouldn’t trust any one other than Kimberly to watch over her. Kimberly’s energy is so beautiful and the pups feel it. She is the best there is <3
Excellent Boarding Service! And my Dog came home squeeky clean! Highly recommend Luxe Paws for my pets :)
My experience with Bark, Park & Stay has been nothing short of incredible. The staff has been amazing and attentive, the facility is clean, the prices are unbeatable and there are cameras to watch your pups play, which is always a plus! I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about the staff, though. Our puppy was scheduled for a temperament test one Monday but two days prior we had a medical emergency that led to a multi-day hospital stay and the manager so compassionately allowed my puppy to come in early so he didn't sit in a crate all day. It was incredibly helpful and she was so kind, supportive and warm, it brought me to tears. When I arrived, I was greeted with a much needed comforting hug, despite never having met. On top of the generosity and accommodating culture, our puppy was clearly in good hands - he left so happy (and exhausted, which was much needed!). He's gone back multiple times and gets so excited, he eagerly wines and trots right in. The staff have greeted him and sent him off with such warmth and love and he always leaves a happy, tired boy who can't even make it the few minutes it takes to get home before falling asleep in the car. Highly, highly recommend this amazing place!
Brenda and her crew are wonderful. Our pup has pretty bad separation anxiety, but he is always thrilled to come to Smyrna Bark & Lounge. They shower him with love from the moment he arrives and are able to get all of his energy out during the day. We are so grateful to have them and highly recommend them to any other dog owners in the area. Brenda and crew, thank you so much for loving our hyper boy!
I HIGHLY recommend Bark and Lounge Smyrna. This place is highly competent and compassionate. We have a 13 year old blind and anxious lab mix who has stayed at many boarding facilities in Atlanta. He would not eat and would be labeled as aggressive at each of these boarding facilities. He not only ate while at bark and lounge but was handled with dignity allowing him to not be scared. They took their time to figure out the best way to work with him allowing decreased anxiety and not being labeled as aggressive. We also have a Great Dane who LOVES doggy day care here. He has fun and I feel he is safe in the group the team put him with. If you are looking for a place that truly cares about your dogs and finds joy in caring for them this is the place. Thank you for being home away from home- Dante and Aiken
Gigi has been coming here since 2013 and loves it! Our family never has to worry about her safety or happiness. We all love it that someone spends the night there with the dogs, they're never alone! We highly recommend Brenda and her amazing facility!
We are long term customers of Bark and Lounge. We love how the owner knows our dogs by name. They’re always so excited to arrive and play with the Bark and Lounge staff. I always rest easy when out of town knowing their team is with our fur family.
Brenda is always so caring towards our dog and every dog she takes care of. She bends over backwards to accommodate us if we have a last second day care or boarding request. She is the only one we feel good about bringing our dog to because we know she is going to take great care of him
Both my boys have never been boarded nor day care before, they love this place. The staff is friendly, professional and helpful
We have been going to this place for almost 7 years now. Our crazy little terror of Yorkie goes crazy as soon as we get on the back road that take us there. This little stinker knows we are going to Day Care and goes berserk all the way there. He loves seeing Brenda and everyone there. He has always been taken care of greatly. We truly have peace of mind and the cameras are there for whenever we miss him and want to see him. I have also boarded him there for a week when we travel. This place and the staff are very professionals and experienced!! 🐶🐶. Veronica.
This is the first and only daycare and boarding facility my dog has felt comfortable. I have a dog with severe separation anxiety. She used to tear up her blankets and bedding wherever stayed. She no longer does that. There are times my dog will just sit in front Brenda asking for pets before we leave. I can tell my dog is well loved and cared for here. They answer all of my questions when I am out of town.
We started using Bark & Lounge last year after our other boarding facility not only raised prices, but started charging separately for daycare and boarding (if you didn't pay extra for daycare your dog was in their kennel all day like what the heck?). Bark & Lounge is in a great location, has extremely fair prices, knows our dogs by name and is always excited to see them. We even have an extra-large pup who has medication in his food and they take such good care of him. Plan on being a long-time customer, but you do need to book in advance because they are so good at what they do!
Aubrey is amazing with dogs. Both our large Mastiff's love going here and get super excited once we drop them off. She is able to care for multiple dogs very well and always provides an update of how your fur babies are doing along with pictures!
Such a great experience with Aubrey. From the moment I met her it was evident she loves dogs. She cared for our puppy Elroy while we we were out of town for a week. She sent numerous photos to us throughout Elroy’s stay. There is a big backyard for the dogs to play in too. Very pleased with Aubrey and she will be the first we call when we need someone to care for Elroy. Thanks Aubrey!!
One of the best dog sitters around! We call her a dog whisperer because she can handle a large amount of dogs very well. Our dogs love going here and we love that we get regular updates and pictures of them enjoying themselves!
She is great..
I can’t say enough good things about Nairobi Furever Friends! My dog, Snug, absolutely loves staying there. Every time I drop him off, he’s greeted with such warmth and care that it feels like a second home for him. The Owner is incredibly attentive, friendly, and clearly passionate about what she does. I always have peace of mind knowing Snug is in safe hands, getting lots of love, attention, and playtime while I’m away. It’s clear they treat every pet like family, and Snug is always so happy and relaxed when I pick him up.
This place is the best kept secret! Carolina has been the best groomer for our dog. Our pup is old and Carolina didn’t bat an eye after other salons turned us away since she can’t stand for long to be groomed. She always comes back to us smelling fresh and feeling so soft!
I had an absolutely terrible experience during my first visit. I stopped by to inquire about the dog shelter after dropping my dog off for grooming in the same building. When I arrived at 8:30 AM, there was no one at the front desk, but both double doors were open, and I noticed people walking around inside. Hoping to speak with someone and learn more, I walked in—only to be rudely shooed away by someone who appeared to work there. She was extremely rude and dismissive. When I asked for place name, she curtly responded, "It's on the door." (I initially thought this referred to the name of the grooming business.) She had nothing identifying her as an employee of Happy Paws and didn’t bother to explain what the place was or what they did. The entire interaction could have been resolved with a simple, polite, "I'm sorry, can I help you?" Instead, her behavior made me feel unwelcome and suspicious about what was going on behind the scenes. This experience left me uneasy, and I’ll never bring my dog there. If that’s the kind of attitude they have toward people, I can’t imagine how they’d treat animals.
Best pet care grooming and personal caring staff and amazing owner Carolina!
I take my boys to Carolina for grooming. She is the absolute best and I’ll follow her wherever she goes. As I entered, I’m always greeted by the friendly staff.
If dogs had thumbs then this review would be 4 thumbs up. This place is amazing...The staff are dog savvy, experienced and professional and the place is clean with comfortable enclosures (not cages). The dogs are out playing most of the day, with short rest breaks and the staff actually plays with them and engages them in activity. They are great about letting you take a tour to see for yourself how well run this place is. The only issue might be that your dogs won't want to come back home
I love the care and attention they give my goldendoodle she has been going for about 9 months she is only a year old. I love that they are a black owned and ran business. They are affordable and Brooklyn seems to really love them.
This is Avi, we left our dog with Happy Paws Inn for a weekend (Friday Drop Off – Monday Morning Pick-up) (April 30th, 2021 – May 3rd) My dog has always boarded well in the past, and when we dropped him off that Friday was completely fine. The facility due to covid restrictions does not let you in however when we went to pick him up he would not come out so my gf was asked to come in to get him. It was pouring rain so she got him in the car and we went home. Monday after we got Avi home we noticed some marks and scabbing around his eye. I reached out to the owner and he said “If the dog tried to escape through their wire fence” then that’s how he likely sustain the marks. We looked Avi over head to toe and notice a head injury and dried blood. We took Avi to the vet and they shaved his head and we were told he likely sustained some form of trauma. At this point I’m thinking so who is or who is not watching the dogs to even allow that to happen? At this point I am beyond upset, hurt, and more than bothered by the lack of care Happy Paws Inn displayed. We were not notified or reached out to at all no one let us know that our dog was hurt. The owner claimed no one had been within 5ft of my dog after we dropped him off that Friday. When he said that I immediately thought to myself “So my dog was neglected for the day’s he was left within the facility?” Completely unacceptable. I hate to be writing this review, but it is more imperative that people are aware this is not a safe space to leave your animals. Avi will be traveling with us from now on, this experience not only left him scared, but us as well.
Happy Paws is by far the best boarding, they have an in-house groomer, and dog trainer on site. BY FAR Dog Man Ran is the best for training my high energy Aussie. I do pay a little extra to have him trained while he is being boarded. We switched from pet paradise which wasn't too bad, but I just wanted something different. My dogs temperament seemed different when he came home and I needed to try a new option. And Happy Paws was it!
I’ve been bringing my dog here for a few years now and when I came to drop him off for boarding his reservation had been cancelled. Apparently it was mistakenly booked for the day before. They claim to have called me and left a message but I never received any communication from them. No missed calls or voicemails. Nonetheless, I understand I made a mistake in booking, but as a frequent customer I don’t feel like a valued customer, so my dog and I won’t be returning here.
We love Happy Paws, Flossie & her staff at both locations! And Carolina is a fantastic Groomer. She’s so gentle with her customers and they all look great after she grooms them
