Linda came out with water for Gerta. There is a dog behind the house, but nonreactive. Overall a good experience.

Our dogs had a great time! The yard has a good amount of grass for the dogs to roll around and lots of trees, a water feature, bushes, etc to explore. The host was kind and left water for the dogs to drink. We definitely plan on booking more time. here!

Hi! Thank you for considering Great Oaks as a welcome, safe spot for you & your pets. I am a lifelong animal lover & Master Gardener. When we moved into this home we designed the garden with walking paths, shade & sun to enjoy the climate & weather changes. As a pet owner & lover I have served as a Board Member for the Aiken SPCA. In the early ‘90’s a few of us got together & helped open The SPCA Thrift Shop, which still operating today. Later I worked as a Front Desk Volunteer at the Aiken County Animal Shelter. I have always been a trusted pet sitter. However, I recently became physically challenged & find myself helping care for special needs & senior pets. And, creating a great, private park for all of us. We look 👀 forward to your visit. Linda Levinson Taylor
