Happy Tails

I have been so pleased with happy tails! Being new to the Atlanta area, we could no longer rely on friends or family to watch over our cat when we traveled. We never had a pet sitter in the past, so we chose happy tails based on online reviews an couldn’t be happier! Nadja is fabulous!!! She loved our cat as if he was her own and we were assured he was in good hands. I love the «pawgress reports» and text updates. Nadja and Elizabeth are professional, responsive and so friendly. They go above and beyond and I appreciate the meet and greet prior to our first visit. Highly recommend!

In Feb I started working in Midtown and needed someone to let my dog out for a mid-​day potty break. After checking out their website and reading the sitter profiles I was impressed and made a meet n’ greet appointment. I was nervous, Sasha’s very protective of me, my husband, and the house — if he meets a stranger at the pet store he’s all waggy tail and goofy grin, but someone comes to the door and he’s Cujo. Elizabeth assured me that Sasha’s not the only dog like this and gave me instructions for when Sheila and Maggie arrived.
So Sasha’s in the office with my husband where he can see the driveway, front door, and living room through the glass French doors. They pull up to the house and the barking, howling, and growling starts. So I let them in and we stand by the door for a minute and introduce ourselves, ignore the barking, and make sure he sees me give them a few slices of cheese. We go to the living room and they sat on the couch while I stayed on the other side of the room (so they were no threat to me). Chris let Sasha out and they don’t look at him, just keep talking to us while he checks them out. He knows they have cheese, so he sits, does the cute thing with his ears, and tilts his head to one side… and he’s got two new best friends!
Sasha had a bad fall a few years ago and had a bad leg that he sometimes drags. So since they wouldn’t be walking him, just letting him out the back door to potty, I didn’t expect them to stay for the whole 30 minutes, just potty and leave. But they do stay the whole time and sit in the yard with him, play with toys, give him belly rubs and treats, and leave a «Pawgress Report.»
Maggie and Sheila are great with him and will text or call me if something seems strange, like «He was panting and acting nervous when I got here. Was he ok this morning?» And twice Sheila has gone to the house for an emergency dinner potty break — once when Chris and I were stuck on 400 for two hours due to a multi car crash, and once when the exhaust system was stolen off my car in a parking garage and I didn’t get home until midnight. Both times I sent a panicked text to everyone and Elizabeth assured me that if Maggie or Sheila couldn’t get out there, somebody would. Two weeks ago Sasha hurt his bad leg and we ended up having to amputate it. So he was in the hospital for one week and Chris worked from home this past week. For the past two weeks I’ve been getting texts and emails from Sheila and Maggie asking how he’s doing and sending good wishes, and yesterday Maggie stopped by with cookies and toys!
So yeah, they are awesome and I love how they take care of my baby. If I had a tail, it’d be happy :)

I recently used Happy Tails to cat sit my three furry kids while on a week-​long vacation. It was the longest I have left them since adopting them a year ago. When I got home they were all very happy and I did not get any attitude, or cattitude, backlash. Happy Tails is reliable and very professional. I will be using them again in the future.

My husband and I have been using Happy Tails for over a year for our 5 dogs, 3 cats and 2 turtles. The service they offer is second to none and they are very professional. I love that our fur babies get to stay in the comforts of their own home while we are on vacation. It allows us to relax and not have to worry about them because we know that they are in good hands. Katrina is very prompt at responding to any phone calls or emails. We always request Shiela and she leaves us detailed notes and sends text messages and pictures to keep us posted on how everyone is doing while we are away. I highly recommend Happy Tails to anyone that is looking for a professional and caring company.

They are wonderful… I feel so comfortable having them take care of my pets.

The last time we went on vacation, our dog boarding fees were more than what we spent on ourselves for housing! So we decided to give in-​home dog sitting a try. Not only did we pay a third of the cost of boarding our dogs at Happy Tails but the pups got to stay in the comfort of their own beds. Our sitter Carol was absolutely amazing! She would send us updates and pictures of the dogs and when we got home, we found a daily journal of the dog’s activities! She also brought in the mail and watered our plants (another bonus of in-​home sitting!) We thought the dogs would have missed us terribly but when we got back, they acted as if we had just gone to the store for a little while — and that’s a GOOD thing! It tells us the pups felt comfortable and safe. We’ve never had in-​home sitters before but we 100% trust Carol and Happy Tails!

This was the first time that I had used a pet sitting service and I was anxious about the quality of care and attention that my dog would get. My dog is my fur-​baby and I wanted him to feel comfortable. When we met the sitter, my dog liked her right away. Each day I came home, I would find a daily handwritten note from the sitter about her visit with my baby. I really liked this company and feel that my dog was in safe, caring hands while I was away.
