Janis and her husband Dan were beyond phenomenal! Communication was great leading up to their arrival, especially with coordinating arrival and departure times. And during the sit, I got lots of picture updates throughout of how Isabel was doing. I could tell from the pictures how comfortable and happy my dog was hanging out with Janis and Dan and getting all the pets and attention. Coming home, everything was left so clean and organized. I definitely recommend them as pet sitters as they clearly took such good care of both my pup and my home.
Another amazing sit by Anna and her lovely family - our cocker spaniel Holly has had the best fortnight with these guys with lots of adventures and endless amounts of love and attention! Highly recommend as 5-star house and pet sitters - thank you Anna - hope to see you again!
Tina was a fantastic house/pet sitter for my cat Trixie - I can’t recommend her enough! She was very communicative and also self sufficient and I felt completely at peace with Trixie in her care. She took it upon herself to water my plants and also trimmed Trixie’s nails, which I always struggle with! She provided perfect company for Trixie, playing with her, brushing her, loving her and giving her daily medicine. She also left my apartment in perfect condition. I would gladly have Tina pet sit again. A 10/10 experience.
Natalie and Christian were dream pet sitters while we were out of the country for 2.5 weeks. From start to finish, they were reliable and professional, with excellent communication. They had took great care of our dog and chickens and left the house and car in great shape. Plus, they’re just a really sweet young couple. We’d highly recommend them as house sitters.
Not only did Krista take great care of our cat while we were away, she left the house cleaner than she found it. She also kept in touch with occasional photos and videos of kitty antics, which gave me peace of mind that the cat was well-cared for. We definitely recommend her as a house and pet sitter and would ask her again in the future!
This was the 3rd time that Jill sat for us. That says it all but please read our previous reviews. They all stand and Jill is one of the best and most reliable and loving pet sitters we’ve ever had. If you have a chance to have her in your home and caring for your pets, you will be absolutely delighted. We love her.
Caitlyn, KJ, and their pup Sully were excellent house guests and pet sitters, and we would highly recommend them! I was able to meet Caitlyn and KJ prior to them house sitting for us, and we are always super appreciative when sitters are able to make that work and are willing to take time out of their schedule to come over and get the lay of the land. Their dog Sully was full of good boy energy and was a great playmate for our two Golden Retrievers. During the stay, Caitlyn & KJ sent us photos every day and followed all of our instructions for pet care to a T. They were super self-sufficient and gracious guests that left our place looking just like it did when we left, and we were very at peace knowing that our dogs were in great hands, getting lots of exercise, and romping around with new friend Sully. Don't hesitate to book this family of three, your house and your pets will be well-looked after!
Linda was an awesome pet sitter for my doggie Brodie! She gave him so much loving attention… he has some separation anxiety at 9 years old & she never left his side! She was so attentive to him & I am very grateful for that! Linda’s communication was also something I liked… we texted & chatted on the phone before her arrival & I felt very comfortable with her being in my home & with my dog. I could tell her number one reason to pet sit was her love for dogs & desire to be a wonderful companion for Brodie while I was away for the weekend! Would love to have her back anytime…
I could not have asked for a better first time sitter experience! Terry & Vinnie were absolutely wonderful people. They took stellar care of my beloved pets and my home. Their communication with me was enough that I felt perfectly at ease during my time away and in turn, they were super responsive if I contacted them. My pets were relaxed and happy when I returned!
Amazing experience! Five stars all the way... Nikki was kind enough to watch our two cats Thomas and Toby while were away on our honeymoon. From the very beginning she made us feel comfortable with clear communication and quick replies. Since she was local in Atlanta we got to meet her ahead of time and hand off keys before we left. While we were away she sent pictures of our little buds having fun and being themselves, so we always knew they were ok. She always showed up exactly when she said she would from pickup to dropoff and it was so incredible to know they were in good hands, and we never had to worry. They love being around people so for her to have been able to stay with them and love on them regularly we came home and could immediately tell both Thomas and Toby felt great as they were completely comfortable. Much much different than when we leave even for a few days and have a pet sitter stop by and feed them. She asked all the necessary questions in advance, so she didn't have to email or ask anything while we were away. She even took the time to make sure everything was neat and tidy, prepped the sheets to be changed, and was unbelievably sweet to get us a wedding gift we both love. Nikki we can't thank you enough for taking care of our cats, and we would only be so lucky if you stuck around town! :)

We have a 3 year old miniature pinscher that generally goes with us whenever we travel. We never had a need to board her before last weekend, when we had a planning hiccup and needed to find somewhere for her ASAP! Luckily we found Three Oaks. The staff were super helpful and answered all my questions confidently and were a great help setting my mind at ease when trying to figure out if it was a good fit for my pup, and they didn't bat an eye at my last minute panic-booking. I was impressed by the extremely reasonable prices, and loved the optional add-ons like a bedtime story, or my favorite, updates via email with pictures (attached to this review) and a short message about how my girl was coping with her first stay away from us. All in all, it seems like Minnie had a great time, the staff were knowledgeable and friendly, and I feel super confident in my choice of Three Oaks. I would definitely bring her back!
The staff here is amazing! And both my dogs love it here. All I ever have to say is “want to go see Brittany (the manager) or Dani (the owner)” and craziness ensues. They are loving and caring. I never hesitate to bring my fur babies in for daycare
They groomed our two standard poodles and our senior Schnauzer mix and did a phenomenal job!
Not a customer- I called to inquire about grooming services as my current groomer is closing. After I gave the woman on the phone all of the pets info and was asked about my availability and preference of an appointment date I was told they would call me back. Which they did. Unfortunately, I was told the groomer felt they were "too old" for them to groom, but recommended I seek a veterinary groomer as they are no longer taking older pets. I found this odd as the dogs are older (13-15 years) but they are all in excellent health except one does have bad knees and it is hard for him to stand for more than 15 minutes at a time but they all are well-behaved during grooms and have been groomed regularly all of their lives. None the less I called a vet that had recently seen the pets and asked about the need for a veterinary groomer. I was told that they did not think that was necessary for any of them. Therefore unfortunately I can not leave a review on the quality of grooming but I would suggest that customers be told upfront and immediately that there are age restrictions for senior pets. Sadly this establishment is not friendly to the senior dog population. Fortunately the next two groomers I spoke with we're happy to have me come and view their establishment and answer all of my questions. I have to edit the original post since it will not let me reply. 1st I have a witness that can confirm I told the receptionist the dogs were 13-15 year's old. I never said any of them were 17. Also they could hear the receptionist tell me the dogs were "to old" for this establishment that you were not taking older pets. I'm sorry for the incorrect relay of information that you received from your receptionist. That's unfortunate.
Three Oaks is a wonderful, caring place to bring your furry family members. Dani, Seth and the entire staff are so wonderful with the dogs and cats in their care. I love that the play is structured and not just a free for all. Dogs are required to take breaks - so important. Lola loves seeing all her best friends at doggie daycare. We also love knowing she is given the best care when we board her. Highly recommend!
They don’t accept pets that aren’t housebroken and that’s understandable. It would take up their time having to clean. In the pamphlet they said that they would give you resources for finding a kennel that would accept your pets. Which I asked for when I emailed them, in total honesty…and crickets. We had been corresponding prior to this. I could have been dishonest just so my little guy could be accepted but I wasn’t. I tell you this generation lacks common courtesy and professionalism. Thankfully I found someone who has accepted my little guy. ☺️
Young lady that checked us in could not have been more helpful. There was a hiccup with our vet and their record keeping and the staff at Three Oaks not only helped us through that, but still made sure we were able to keep our appointment for our dog’s scheduled stay! We are looking forward to the email updates to show our kids while we are out of town!
Our Lab loves.... really LOVES going to Three Oaks! He makes friends and plays with those that are similar in size, getting appropriate levels of stimulus, training, love and treats. I highly recommend for your day-care or boarding needs.... oh, and don't forget grooming! Ranger gets his nails trimmed while at Three Oaks when needed and they are always done well!
All I can say is wow. These folks will take care of your fur babies like they are your own. Hands down the best place we have ever taken out dogs.
Very nice people and my dogs come home happy
