Courtney was great! My dog has separation anxiety & is usually freaking out when I get home after being gone all day. But this time, she was calm and happy. She clearly loved Courtney!

Taylor was such an amazing sitter! She gave me detailed updates every time she checked in on the pups. Will definitely hire her again if she is available :)

Sheana came through when I was in a pinch. I needed someone to let the dogs out because I was stuck in traffic in the mountains. She responded last minute and had excellent communication. She’s the best!

It was our first time leaving Skittles with a sitter, and Daniel did a great job of assuaging our fears! He was super communicative and made sure we knew that Skittles was in good hands. Highly recommend!

Kelli was awesome boarding my two dogs. Not only did she give daily updates with videos and pictures she also worked with them on introducing them to her cat and getting used to her big dogs. Can't recommend enough!

Sparta Town Center
Sparta is a dog-friendly town and its streets are open to dog-walkers and their pooches, either on a leash or under strict voice control. With so many places to see, a long stroll with Fido is a furtastic way to get some exercise, meet new or old friends, and check in to Backwoods Bean Coffee Shop for breakfast, lunch or dinner with a coffee, a beer or a glass of wine. Most of their dining options are farm-to-table, and the menu changes often to match the season and availability, so you’ll never be bored here. Two outdoor tables await you and your pup!

Each access area also includes picnic facilities, two with shelters, grills, and fireplaces. Campsites in the park feature primitive, walk-in or canoe-in camping and Fido is welcome.

Roaring Gap
Roaring Gap is a neighbor of Sparta, and home of the pup-friendly Stone Mountain State Park, which features a massive granite dome at the summit. This serves as a landmark for some as they hike the park’s trails, and a challenge for others who dream of climbing the huge rock. The park offers more than 18 miles of trails for hiking, and a 90-site campground equipped for RVs and tents. Tent pads, tables, and grills adorn each site, and some have hookups for water and electricity. The trails vary in difficulty, and feature waterfalls and some rocky terrain, not to mention scurrying wildlife and birds. Fido must be leashed within the park. Day picnickers and overnighters will find the 75 picnic sites convenient and scenic, and two shelters feature grills, water, and restrooms. Streams covering over 20 miles crisscross the park, and are open for fishing, cooling off or just watching and listening as they gurgle by. This is a pawrfect destination for you and your fur-bud to explore!
