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.
Anant was a great sitter and a friendly guy. Kept me up to date re his arrival and with Marie & Toulouse during the sit. Found my house exactly as I had left it. Would highly recommend Anant to other pet parents.
Lisa and her friend Sara were amazing pet and house sitters! We can't say enough great things about them - our pets were so calm when we returned from our trip and so happy... Lisa and Sara kept in touch with us regularly and sent us beautiful photos of the pets as well. We returned to a spotless home, fresh flowers and a note with polaroids of Soy, Calvin and Chickie! We absolutely loved hosting Lisa and Sara and highly recommend them, they are some of the best sitters we have ever had and they're welcome back anytime!!
We were lucky to have Andrea back for another sit with our elderly dog and feral cat. She has been wonderful both in the past and on this last sit for a month! We trust her implicitly and are always at ease that our pets will have the most kind and careful attention. She is excellent with videos and communication and very clean and tidy. Again we feel lucky to have found her, and feel she would be a great sitter for any pets!
Rachel was an excellent pet sitter for my cat. She was a good communicator and also kept my place very tidy. She even left me a gift of a bar of chocolate upon her departure! Highly recommend.
Angie and her husband Joe were a great fit for our house and pet sitting needs! They kept in communication with us before our vacation started, and were able to arrive a little early so we could walk them through how various systems worked and where controls were located. Our dog bonded with Angie very quickly and I think he was hoping she would stay after we returned home :) We got regular updates and pet photos while we were traveling. Although we were out of cell phone range for several days, we never had a doubt that things at home would be just fine while they were there! They were also very flexible and understanding. Due to our flight schedule we arrived home in the middle of the night. Angie was able to feed and walk our dog, clean up and leave in the morning without waking us up! The house was left clean, the garden was thriving and our pup was happy. We are happy, and would be happy to have them back again as sitters anytime.
Elaine was the best dog and cat sitter I have ever had! She was so loving to the boys, kind, reliable, capable and took fabulous care of my two dogs and cat welfare. Walked them every day and would even sing to them (-: I am so very grateful to have had the pleasure of meeting Elaine and I would recommend Elaine to anyone wanting first class care of pets and home!!! We all miss having her around and wish her a fabulous world trip and safe journey back to the States.
Thomas did an amazing job! We were very pleased with how well he was able to care for our 3 active Boston terriers. He was able to handle all 3 on a walk and feed them their special meal everyday. He even ventured out and took them to the beach which is no easy task for 3 excited dogs. Thomas did a great job communicating before and during the stay. We came home to a clean house with bedding washed. We had a handful of other pet sitters through this website and Thomas easily rates at the top of our list. Thank you for taking great care for the dogs and the house.
Absolutely Incredible.... I will not lie, I was hesitant because David did not have any pet sits before this one (gotta start somewhere) but because he did the background check I decided to contact him. We had a great phone conversation and the decision was made. He came to my house the night before I was leaving to learn all the ins and outs of taking care of my fur babies and then put himself up in a hotel for the night before the sit date. The next day he came over in the morning to learn a few more details before I left. I could not have chosen a better house sitter for my 2nd house sit . David communicated with me daily, sent pictures and we spoke via facetime. My little guy was feeling sick when David started and with diligence, love and kindness he was able to get my little guy eating again and feeling better. I would invite David back into my home over and over again but I am pretty sure he is going to be in high demand. Thank you David for everything!
Jerry and Suzanne were absolutely ideal sitters for our home and pets. We spoke with them ahead of their visit and could tell that they are genuine pet and travel lovers. Over their stay we got to see even more that they are wonderfully friendly, kind, and responsible - plus they kept us laughing with their updates and descriptions of our pets' antics while we were away. Our pets and plants were well loved and our house was spotless upon our return home, and they were even kind enough to leave a few goodies in the fridge. Our dog in particular seemed to miss them and their long walks around the neighborhood. Thank you Jerry and Suzanne! We wish you well in your travels!

Brandi, Hannah, and Amelia are so amazing. My dog Auggie loved going to daycare everyday and would about jump out of the car as soon as we pulled in. Brandi always sent pictures of my sweet boy looking so happy (and usually hogging Hannah’s lap). I would highly recommended Brandi’s to anyone and I am devastated that we are moving. Thank you all so much for treating Auggie as your own and giving me peace of mind while at work.
I have used Brandi’s Pet sitting 4 times now. Very pleased and couldn’t ask for better care and they even helped on short notice too! Use them! Your dogs will love the new house guest!
I have been using Brandi's doggy daycare since they opened so that our chubby beagle can get play time with all of his friends. I've since seen his health and happiness dramatically increase. Brandi's is one of the best things to have ever happened to our pupper!
We have had two sitters from Brandi's come to farm sit for our horses, donkeys, dogs and cat and I would have either of them back in a heartbeat. Laura and Katie kept our babies comfy, fed and happy not to mention our home was immaculate on both occasions when we returned. Like they weren't even here!! Ms. Bonnie and Brandi are gems to work with. I would trust anyone from this service to care for my home and fur babies. They provide an amazing service!!
Great place, great atmosphere, all of the guests get along so we'll! Every time I've been here the staff was either playing with the guests or cleaning. 10/10
First few times it was great but the last 2 times the price has went up and when I suppose to had a free night with 3 of my dogs she only gave one free night for one dog and she charged me price for3 large dogs and and there’s 2 small and 1 large! Will not take them back !!
Our dog had a great time there. They sent pictures through out her stay
This is an amazing place! They are flexible with dates, respond immediately and shower our dog with love ❤️
I will always recommend this place & absolutely love it here!
Professional, efficient, fairly priced, with great communication
Sherry, Keith, and Kathy have always took the best care of my BB! I have been taking her to them for the past 7 years since she was a puppy. I highly recommend Laurel Hill Pet Lodge and Spa!
My husband & I always feel our dog Cornbread is safe and secure @ laurel Hill pet lodge & spa. We appreciate what great care they give him while he is there.
Took my girl to the pet spa for a much needed grooming. It was our first visit but it will not be the last. They did a beautiful job grooming Belle and I could not be happier with the service. And we loved the cute butterfly bow! Thank you!
I have two 11-year old, mixed-breed, large rescued dogs who are very sweet but don't interact well with other dogs. In the multiple states we have lived, I have always struggled to find a good kennel to board them. I was impressed when I stopped by unannounced a week before they were scheduled to stay at Laurel Hill. Keith was happy to walk me through the facility and I was pleasantly surprised when he introduced each of the dogs and knew them all by name. Keith took excellent care of my babies and ensured that their outdoor time was just the two of them. The runs have solid walls that separate the "guests." Eli and Aspen were clean, happy and healthy when I picked them up. I highly recommend Laurel Hill Pet Lodge for boarding your four-legged children.
This place is the best! Owners live on premises & the dogs get constant care & attention. Very impressed with the facility. Sherry did a fantastic job on grooming my dog prior to pick up. Will use this place from now on! I would recommend Laurel Hill pet Lodge and spa to anyone.
Sherri and her team at Laurel Hill pet lodge do an amazing job on my golden doodle! He is always happy to see them and happy to get washed and groomed! Great place to get your pet groomed and boarded if needed!
Our pups actually seem to like going here to see pawpaw Keith (as we refer to him to our pups). We trust Laurel Hill to take great care of our pets as if they were their own. Many people aren't familiar with our dog breed but Keith and Sherry are and they know how to deal with their strong behaviors. We appreciate you Laurel Hill!
Sherry and Keith are amazing with the animals that visit here. Their life is devoted to giving the best care for our fur babies!! Definitely recommend Laurel Hill Pet Lodge & Spa!!
Bailey is always excited to go to the Pet Lodge! He loves being with the other dogs to run and play. Keith takes very good care of him and I am always grateful of that. Thanks, Laurel Hill!
As a former employee of Laurel Hill Pet Lodge, I can personally attest to the fact that the animals entrusted in the care of the Walkers are well cared for, loved, and treated like an extension of their own family. My dogs often boarded with them when I had need to go out of town, and I wouldn’t hesitate to board them again, should need arise. I rest easy knowing they are in good hands!! I would also like to address the review below from Mr. Steinberg. I am familiar with him and his dogs and thoroughly puzzled as to why he would leave that type of comment. I feel his attitude should be one of appreciation. His dogs (2 overweight shih tzus) had been clients of the grooming salon while I was employed there. I have had the displeasure of grooming the smaller of the two on more than one occasion. Suzie has approximately 947 moles on her body, making shaving her down extremely short (as requested by owner) extremely difficult to do without cutting her while she sat, flopped, turned and BIT. Nonetheless, the dog was always groomed to the best of our ability despite this behavior. This client had the audacity to complain about the grooms each time. As for the complaints regarding the pet lodge, the dogs are not left alone for an inappropriate amount of time; the owners live on the premises and check in/let out often. Dogs are never medicated unless instructed to do so, and any necessary medication is provided by the parents. I do believe you are the one over-medicated, Mr. Steinberg. That review you left is rude, imagined, and completely ludicrous. I would never have continued grooming these two dogs based on your behavior and Suzie's, for that long, without so much as a .25 cent tip. I know she did it out of respect for your mother. You owe Sherry an apology, and quite a honestly a thank you.
I moved to the Rabun Gap area 2 years and have exclusively used Shady Oaks for my two dogs Milo and Ollie. Their ears perk up with excitement when I tell them they are going there. The girls at shady oaks are friendly and will accommodate you when you need help. It was a major weight lifted off my shoulders knowing that my dogs had a safe and happy place to go, when I wasn’t able to watch them. I highly recommend them.
Let me speak on behalf of our fur babies. They love going to Shady Oaks. They literally claw at the front door to get in when we drop them off for boarding or grooming. They have never done this at any other place we have taken them…they usually try to retreat back to our vehicle. They are also the only groomer who actually groomed our mini Aussies perfectly. The whole staff has been so welcoming to us and even was gracious to check our doggos in when we were a couple minutes past 12pm one day. So blessed to have such a great doggie camp in Rabun County who takes care of our lovely fur babies!
A friend recommended Shady Oaks to us because we had an upcoming trip. We had enough notice to schedule our dogs for a daycare stay prior, and our dogs couldn't have been happier! The staff was sweet and polite. We boarded the dogs a couple of weeks later for 5 nights. We sent them with their own food, bedding, and meds. They looked happy and healthy when we picked them up. We will use Shady Oaks again for daycare as well as boarding!
We took our pup chevy there and he came back happy, healthy and with no problemos!
This was our very first visit... I requested a teddy bear cut, she (Candice) agreed and this is what I came home to... with messages telling me to “get over it” when asking for a partial refund. I’m appalled that this woman thinks her grooming and her attitude was professional and people should see what she did to our dogs. They were groomed at the end of May before moving here and she claimed they were matted and it took all day... I dropped them at 11am and they were picked up at 4:30pm. 5hrs for 3 dogs is all day?! “Get over it”!? We’re heart broken! I’m still waiting on the “break down of charges” email and partial (if not FULL refund!), too. :( Beware!
Always great with our two auzzies. They always run right in with no hesitation!
I have never been so impressed with a Day care for my baby girl Irma Lee as I was with Shady Oaks. They went above and beyond for my special little angel. I could see that she had such a good time there. I wished I lived a lot closer, because I've never seen my baby so happy before. They took such good care of her. I was nearly in tears seeing how much fun she was having and how happy she was. Really is 5 Stars enough for Shady Oaks? No it should be a lot more. I can't recommend Shady Oaks enough! You can feel safe knowing that your precious little family member will get lots of play and love. Next time I'm in Georgia I'll make the trip just for Irma Lee. I want to give them a huge thank you from the bottom of my heart. Just so very wonderful.
Needed dog boarding for 6 days, called in a week ahead and they had a spot available. Drop off was easy, staff super friendly. Picked up one day early and they gave credit for the remaining one day. No payment was due until pick up. Our dog didn't complain about the stay so we assume he had a great time ;) I would definitely bring him over there again. Thank you.
I brought my dogs here while staying at Tallulah State Park for a week. FYI-The kennel is 10 minutes from the state park. The owner was very sweet and polite and gave me confidence that my puppies will be well taken care of (which they were) This kennel is a small, but big enough facility for your fur babies to run around and have fun. Definitely will bring them again if I plan another visit
When we first moved to Rabun,we tried multiple kennels,once we found Shady Oaks,we knew we had found the place for our fur babies. Shady Oaks is by far the absolute best. Our dogs are always happy when we pull up to Shady Oaks and they are always in good spirits when we pick them up. They go above and beyond with both our girls,one who is 140lbs and one who is 100lbs. Ppl are often hesitant to take In larger breed dogs and the owner and staff treat our babies just like any other. Not only have we been late to pick up but we’ve been late for drop off and as long as we call,there’s never been a problem. I would 100% recommend Shady Oaks.
