About Oscarville

Hi, I’m Heather.

A family home near Lake Lanier with a fenced yard, room for zoomies, and 25 years of dog-care experience behind it.

I work from home, and our family is genuinely dog-obsessed. Over the years we’ve cared for puppies and senior dogs, very big dogs and very small ones, plus plenty of pups with their own routines, quirks, and extra care needs.

Oscarville is meant to give visiting dogs room to just be dogs: off-leash time in a securely fenced backyard, walks, company, naps, and a home rhythm instead of a kennel routine.

What every hound gets

A day at Oscarville.

The inclusions make more sense when you can picture the day. Scroll through the routine to see how the care fits together.

7:30 AM · Good morning
Breakfast on scheduleMedication if neededMorning potty break
7:30 AM

Good morning, hound.

The day starts like a normal day should: outside, breakfast, fresh water, meds where applicable, and absolutely no need to rush.

Meals your wayMedicationFresh water
9:00 AM

Walks, sniffs, fresh air.

Outside time is part exercise, part enrichment, and part extremely serious neighborhood investigation.

Then, gloriously, nothing.

Dogs get actual downtime in a real household instead of being entertained into oblivion. Nap, lounge, supervise the kitchen — dealer’s choice.

Home comfortsRestPersonal space
3:00 PM

Play when there’s play to be had.

Afternoons make room for toys, enrichment, another trip outside, and attention calibrated to the actual dog rather than a one-size-fits-all schedule.

Dinner, updates, settle in.

Evening brings dinner, another outside break, the day’s update home, and a quieter household rhythm before everybody calls it.

Questions before the suitcase comes out?

A few practical things guests ask most often before a stay.

Current availability, rates, and payment are handled on our booking page. This site is here to show you what a stay at Oscarville actually feels like.

No. Dogs stay in a home environment and follow a more domestic rhythm rather than a large-facility routine.

That’s the goal. Feeding, medication, sleep habits, and other important routines can be discussed before the stay.

Boarding stays of 14 nights or more include complimentary grooming through a local grooming partner before pickup.

Yes. Heather sends photo and video updates during stays, so you can see how your dog is settling in and spending the day.
