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!

Alta Vista
Located off Decatur Pike near North Mouse Creek, the Athens Regional Park is a wonderful family and Fido oriented park. There are several ball fields where your pooch can chase a ball or just roll around in the grass. A hiking trail offers a great path to walk through the area and get some exercise. If you are out with the children, they will have a blast at the playground, and you and your pup can sit on one of the benches and relax while they play. There are clean bathrooms and you can refill water bottles at the water fountain, but you will need to bring your own doggie waste bags.

Clem Jones
Situated on East Madison Ave and Slack Road, your pooch will love visiting Prof Park and the Prof Park Dog Park. The dog park features two sections, one for small pups and one for larger dogs. You will need to keep your pooch on a leash as you walk to the area from the parking lot, but once inside the fenced area, Fido can run around and sniff all the trees and roll in the grass unhindered. You will need to bring your own water bottles, as the dog park doesn’t have access to drinking water. Another fun adventure you can have with Fido is visiting Mayfield Dairy Visitors Center near the park. You can relax on the covered porch with Fido and enjoy different flavors of ice-cream. Your pooch will love a pup cup and spending time with the family.

Westwood Heights
In downtown Athens, you can easily walk your pooch to the McMinn Field off Park Street and McMinn Avenue. The area offers several sports fields and you can walk your pup around the park while watching the games. Once you get bored of McMinn Field, walk a half a mile north and visit the JL Cook Memorial Park. This area features a paved walking path where you and Fido can get in some laps or relax on one of the benches. There are also two pooch-friendly motels in the area. Ingleside Motel welcomes pups of any size for a small fee, and Homestead Inn in Athens also allows pups to stay in the pet-friendly rooms.

Northpoint
Just fifteen miles north of Athens, Sweetwater is a fun town where you can spend time with your pup. If you are taking your family to the Lost Sea Adventure Cave, someone will need to stay with Fido since pups are not allowed on the tour, but pups are welcome on the grounds and on the nature trail. While strolling through the almost 1/3 mile trail, you and your pup can admire groups of plants that are considered some of the most diverse in the world. When you get hungry, head over to Hunter’s Bakery and Café where you can order soup, salad, burgers or a variety of other dishes. You and your pup will enjoy relaxing at one of the pet-friendly outdoor tables. If you need a place to stay – Days Inn Sweetwater welcomes two pups of any size for an additional fee.
Tellico Village
If you are planning to spend time in the elite Tellico Village in Loudon about 25 miles north of Athens, the Rover Run Dog Park is a member only dog park, and your pup will need to be interviewed and pay a fee before being allowed to use the area. Pup parents who are looking for a “Country Club” atmosphere for their pooch will enjoy the spacious area divided into two sections, and there is water available for the pups and restrooms for pup parents. Pooch-friendly accommodations are also available in Loudon. Check out the Inn of Loudon where two pups of any size are welcome or the La Quinta Inn & Suites where Fido can stay with no additional fee.
