Heartthrob Kennels

Carla was an excellent caregiver for my doggy. He stayed with her for the weekend and was healthy and clean when I picked him up. I can tell that he had a great time with her because he was hesitant to leave. I will definitely use her again in the future.

Carla is the most caring and accommodating pet sitter!

My 3 year old baby, Duke, has had the privilege of going to Heartthrob Kennels since September 1, 2012. Duke is in Carla's wonderful and trusting care Mondays through Thursdays, and also for some sleepover stays. I work long hours and Carla puts my worries at ease with her warming affection towards dogs. It truly is Duke's home away from home. Carla's home is clean, safe, and perfect for dogs to have lots of room to play. I know Duke loves going there when he can't contain himself in the car as we approach her home. Duke never likes to leave my side, so when he runs to her door, I know his stays are nothing short of amazing.

Thank you, Carla, for your incredible passion for dogs and for being Duke's wonderful second mommy!!

Wrigley is still sleeping off his weekend! Thank you so much for taking such good care of him. He was in absolute heaven. I want to thank you so much for easing my mind about leaving him for 2 days. You were a pleasure to speak with in person and on the phone. Wrigley seems to have had a wonderful time. I cant tell you thank you enough. You and Hearthrob kennels are def. on my list for recommendations most definitely. Thank you again for all the love you showed to Wrigley while we were gone. Hope he can come back one day!





Thank you,

Thank you Carla for taking such good care of my baby boy Boots! I was within an hour of taking him to a kennel to be boarded for the weekend, where he would have been kept in a kennel or dog run for 3days with the exception of going out for 3 walks per day. My heart was heavy and I didn't want him "locked" up for 3days. I met Cassandra and she told me about you and the weight on my heart lifted tremendously when I called and you said you could take him for the weekend. He was in a safe and loving environment and had a ball playing with his new friends. I can't thank you enough for taking care of him like he was your own dog. He's my Boo Bear and I love him like he's my furry son and I appreciate you very much. Boots has now found a home away from home and will be a regular at your kennel. I would recommend you to anyone looking for a safe and comfortable experience for their furry kid(s)! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

What a rare find! I had to go out of town on short notice and needed to find someone to care for my three boys (canine). I had never boarded them before and was not comfortable with putting them in a kennel. All 3 are rescue dogs and one is a mama’s boy who is very timid with people initially. I wanted them to be in more of a home setting like they are used to. After hearing about Heartthrob Kennel, I decided to contact them because I really liked the idea that the boys would be in a home setting with a family. I was so pleased to meet Carla and to find out about her knowledge and experience with dogs. I really liked the fact that she paid attention to detail about their habits and personalities. After I took the boys to meet Carla and saw how immediately comfortable they were with her, I knew I could board them there with ease. Within a couple of days Carla was able to keep them and I was able to go out of town knowing that they were in good hands. After I got back, I noticed that the boys were not beating down the door to get out of there. That is a good sign! My one dog Milkshake even seemed hesitant to leave Carla’s son. I received great pictures of them during their stay that also showed how comfortable they were. I will definitely use Heartthrob again. Thanks Carla and family for providing a safe and warm home away from home!

Hi Karla. I just wanted to say thanks for taking care of me while my mommy was out of town. Although I misses my mommy I loved being at your house. Everybody treated me like family and I especially liked how you let my mommy know I was doing fine, (I was worried about her and her separation anxiety). My mommy was so happy with the care I received that she said I could come back the next time she goes out of town. See you soon, Bentley

"I am so happy to have found Heartthrob Kennels and Karla - I have never boarded a dog before and I couldn't stand the thought of having to put my puppy in a concrete stall with a fence while I go out of town; with no one there to check on him. Karla loves those dogs and treats them like children and family. I can't wait for Bandit, my Blue Heeler puppy, to go there again. I have been recommending Karla to everyone I know that has a dog. Bandit is either worn out from playing so much with the other dogs or he is depressed for having to come home, because he has slept for two days!!! He had so much fun - I can tell. He lost three teeth while there!! Karla is the best!!!

We took our two family dogs to Carla’s for the weekend when we had to leave town for a wedding. I really don’t like the idea of leaving them at a kennel, and our in-home dog sitter was unavailable, so I was a little anxious about taking them some place new. As soon as we walked in to Carla’s home I felt at ease. She is so sweet and calm with our very energetic girls, and it made me feel comfortable leaving them in her care. When we picked them up, they were clean and happy and seemed to have loved their time there. We were very pleased. We are planning another trip, and Heartthrob Kennel was the first place we thought of to care for our babies! Thank you Carla, and your family, for the work you do caring for our family pets! You make our time away from them so much easier knowing they are in good and loving hands!

bodyA couple of weeks ago, I found a magical connection and a new member of my family!

Mrs. Karla Hines, the owner of Heart Throb Kennels really showed a sincere affection for me and my Dog Dolcie. My schnauzer is a 11 year old guy full of life and Karla responded to his needs and flirty personality. I also find it my duty to support a local business and I am grateful to know her... I brag on Heart Throb to everyone in Henry County!

Hi Karla,

I wanted to say thank you so much for keeping India while we were gone for the week. I was amazed as to how easy it was to leave her with you. She didn't cry or try to run once. She seemed to have felt right at home. I thought it was really nice how you and your family have opened your home up to dogs. I think that is why India settled in so quickly. Also, your home is neat and clean. It's a very nice environment. Leaving India with you made it easier for my children and I to enjoy ourselves while out of town. I appreciate all that you do and I will definitely recommend you to others and use your services next time we need to leave town.



Thank you,

Stephanie

Karla at Heartthrob Kennels is truly a God send. I was scheduled to go out of town for 2 weeks in June. The person who was going to watch my son's new puppy Sheba, had not contacted me and I was left at the last moment with no pet sitter for Sheba. I located Karla's website on the internet and called Heartthrob Kennels and left a message. Karla called me later and upon explaining my situation to her, she immediately said she should not have a problem keeping Sheba. She was so very pleasant on the phone and I immediately felt a since of relief. Within less than a week's time, Karla and I had spoken on several occasions and shortly thereafter, my son and I were dropping Sheba off at Karla's. Sheba made herself at home immediately! Sheba had so much fun while at Karla's. When we picked Sheba up 2 weeks later, it was obvious that Sheba had a blast and had made some great new doggie friends. She also had gained a surrogate family as I could tell Karla's family had also fallen in love with Sheba! I am so very thankful to Karla and her family for taking care of our baby (Sheba). I would recommend her services to any and everyone that I know and meet. For me personallly, I will DEFINITELY send Sheba back to Karla anytime I need a pet sitter. As a matter of fact, Sheba had so much fun at Karla's, I plan to take time just to take Sheba by Karla's for visits to say HELLO to Karla, the family, and her new doggie friends! Karla, thanks so much for all you do and for being a great lover of dogs! You are truly special!





With Sincere Thanks,



Regina, Khalil & Sheba

Heartthrob Kennels is an excellent enviorment for your pet. We have a small dog and he felt right at home, I think he would have been perfectly happy to live there:) If you are looking for a businnes that really cares about your pet, look no further then Hearthrob Kennels!!!!

I have 3 dogs that are like children to me, and I have a hard time trusting anyone with them. However, Carla LOVES dogs and has truly made me feel comfortable during their stay at her kennel. From the updates by phone to the personal photographs she takes...it's very reassuring. My dogs seemed to be very happy when I picked them up, which speaks volumes to me. I would definitely recommend her for the care of your pets! They will be loved:)

Hi Carla



Baxter had a wonderful time at the Heartthrob Kennel in Stockbridge. This was his first time and it will not be his last. You have a very warm and loving atmosphere where dogs can relax. Baxter was comfortable when he walked in the door and you all made him feel that way. Your price is the best kept secret on the Southside. Thank You!

Karla Hines and her family are wonderful people. This was my first time buying a

new puppy from her and it was a great experience. I loved the professionalism

and kindness that was shown to my family and to the puppies. I appreciated the

time Karla took to explain the puppy-buying process and the "new puppy kit" she

provided to us. If you are looking to buy a cocker spaniel puppy, I would highly

recommend Karla to everyone I know.
