My corgi Gus has been part of the Bark & Board family since we moved to Atlanta 4 years ago. Gus is…read morea "special needs" dog in that he's a rescue dog that's not fond of too many people or other pets. He's a loner until he decides he likes you, then you're in! Over the years, the B&B family have gotten to know him and they all have varying levels of comfort with him, Sophie being the stand out and could have easily replaced me as his mom! Despite Gus's lack of interest in most beings that aren't a tennis ball, everyone makes a concerted effort to get to know Gus and his quirks, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience! When there was an issue with another dog, not started by Gus, the B&B family immediately let me know and we solved the issue together, again with their team being absolute rockstars in care for Gus's small wounds before I could get back to him. I mention this story because there's always someone on a review site for doggy daycare and boarding with a bad experience who talks about it, but doesn't go into the detail of how the company made it right. Bark & Board have become trusted advisors and custodians to my dog for 4 years, and we cannot thank them enough for giving Gus a safe, loving, and comfortable experience for over 4 years, and will continue to do so and care for my little buddy. For anyone without a "special needs" dog, they will love your pet like their own and will get much more out of the themed days, photos & videos, "paw-gress" reports. But if your pet is a little more like Gus, rest assured, they will be in great hands!

Im sorry.. the people were nice enough but they did a complete hack job on my puppy. They had me…read morepay the balance after deposit first before seeing him and...... wow.... I know why. It's horrible. I explained what I wanted.. the layers I loved about my puppy's coat the fluffiness... and it's like they just shaved him and gave him back... no blending, not even.. no shaping. I'm so sad... it's not even going to grow back nicely. They really messed up my dog's beautiful coat. I was in complete shock... and so flustered I just had to get out of there. But I should have stayed and expressed how horrible he looked. I'll call in the morning but... it was the worse. I'll let you be the judge.

This is a long overdue review. I just happened to be scrolling for a specific text and pulled up…read moreold text exchanges with Karen from my days in Atlanta. And realized I owe this fantastic person a review. A very long story short, in 2015 I found myself in temporary housing after a move back to Atlanta to start a new job. It was a very difficult situation with two rescue dogs that suffered from anxiety/separation issues. The day prior my daytime pet arrangements had fallen through. I also had work travel imminent. I was in a panic and massively stressed. The same day I called Karen, she showed up to meet me and the two pups. They took to her immediately, even my ultra scared/shy guy who shivered and shook around people. She confidentially handled them, kindly calmed my anxiety over the situation and had it under control. She could double as a therapist!!! The next day while I was at work all went totally fine with their walk. I even received text photos with details of how it went. The pups were happy, I was relieved of stress and life suddenly became simpler. For simplicity sake I've glossed over a very trying and rough time in life. But for Karen and her team it would not have turned out so well. With a world of gratitude and thanks, I HIGHLY recommend.

The staff are dog owners themselves, not only do they understand the details of caring for a pet, they really adore animals. We recently returned from a trip. Our sitter was AMAZING! While we were away, she gave us updates the entire time with photos and took our energetic lab on long hikes. Our cat was given lots of head scratches and tummy rubs. We came home to a couple of chilled out, happy healthy babies. It's priceless to be able to depend on Buckhead Paws for a worry free get-away. They truly are the best, and we have had some experiences!

We used Critter Sitters for many years, through multiple pet sitters, multiple pets, and multiple…read morehomes and always found them to be professional, reasonably priced, and attentive to the needs of our pets. Recently our pet sitter through Critter Sitters retired and we met with our new sitter one time. Everything seemed fine and we were scheduled to go out of town and had confirmed with the new sitter employed by Critter Sitters that everything was in order. Yesterday I asked for clarification about the billing since it seemed substantially higher with the new sitter over what we had paid previously - in response, I have been told that the sitter's schedule has changed and that I should seek care for my animals elsewhere. With little more than a week's notice, this was very unprofessional and disappointing to say the least. I've tried to communicate my experience to the owner of the company but the line has been busy for some time; will update this review if new information becomes available but sadly, I can no longer recommend this business and would seek care for pets elsewhere. Update: the owner responded and while appreciated, I find the way this situation was handled by Critter Sitters very unprofessional. I can include the text conversation for reference as I did not negotiate: I asked a question about a price difference between two different sitters employed by the same company, a difference of over 300 dollars. The only "policy" I see enforced or followed here is poor customer service.

I had tried several people that I found through word of mouth and was not satisfied with their service or care. Buckhead Pet Sitting Services provided excellent care to my pets that far exceeded my expectations. Olga met with me prior to the first time pet sitting to meet my dogs and cat - she spent a time getting to know them and learning their routines and care. The first time she cared from my group, it was unexpectedly cold and my dogs typically stay outside for the day. Olga altered her schedule so that she could come over extra times throughout the day since the dogs had to stay inside due to the cold. She kept in close contact with me on the weather and when she thought it was safe to let them stay out. Olga's love for animals is so apparent - I felt she cared from my group just as she would her own. I looked forward to her comments and pictures she sent after each of her visits - reassuring me that all was going great and everyone was healthy and happy while I was a way. I will definitely be using Buckhead Pet Sitting Services going forward!

As any Border Collie owner knows, these dogs are incredibly high-energy and "too smart for their own good." I was looking for a trainer who understood the specific needs of a high-drive working breed, and we found exactly that in Jack. Why Jack is the Best Jack is an absolute miracle worker. From our very first session, it was clear that he doesn't just "train dogs"--he understands canine psychology. * Tailored Approach: Jack recognized Zoltar's intelligence immediately and gave us specific mental "jobs" to keep his busy mind occupied. * Clear Communication: He didn't just train Zoltar; he trained me. He explained the "why" behind every behavior, which gave me the confidence to continue the work at home. * Genuine Connection: You can tell Jack truly cares. Zoltar was always vibrating with excitement to see him, which made the learning process fun rather than a chore. The AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Advantage One of the best parts about training here is that they help you achieve the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy certification. Getting Zoltar through this program was a huge milestone. It covers the essentials: Socialization, Training, Activity, and Responsibility. Having Jack guide us through the AKC requirements ensured that Zoltar wasn't just learning "tricks," but was actually becoming a well-rounded, polite member of the community. It's the perfect stepping stone if you eventually want to pursue Canine Good Citizen (CGC) or therapy dog work. Why You Should Choose BHV If you're on the fence about professional puppy training, here is why BHV stands out: 1. Safety & Structure: They provide a controlled environment to socialize your puppy correctly, avoiding the "bad" habits puppies often pick up at random dog parks. 2. Expert Guidance: Jack helped us nip herding behaviors and nipping in the bud before they became lifelong issues. 3. A Foundation for Life: Since starting training, Zoltar has transitioned from a chaotic ball of energy into a focused, confident, and well-mannered companion. Barking Hound Village (and Jack specifically) provided us with the foundation for a happy life together. If you want a well-behaved dog and a stress-free home, book a session with them immediately!
