Gold Leaf Pet Resort

Gold Leaf Pet Resort is a traditional dog boarding kennel at 2057 Seven Mile Hill Road in Dahlonega, GA, and it also boards cats. The resort sits on 34 park-like acres and describes itself as having a relaxed country atmosphere, with the focus on each pet's comfort, safety and health.

What does a stay at Gold Leaf include?

Dogs stay in spacious runs of over 100 square feet, each with private indoor/outdoor exercise areas. The facility is climate controlled, which matters during hot Georgia summers and cold snaps in the mountains. Owners who want their dog to get more activity can add optional play time and nature walks around the property.

Who looks after the dogs?

The resort highlights its experienced staff and says they are comfortable with all kinds of pets and personalities. That is useful to know if your dog is shy, energetic or new to boarding. Grooming is available on site, so a dog can go home clean after a longer stay.

What does it cost, and how do you book?

The resort's website lists boarding rates from $30 to $40 per night. Reservations are made by phone at 770-297-7787. The office is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Saturday from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM. It is closed on Sundays, so it helps to call during the week when planning a trip.

What should owners have ready?

Gold Leaf requires vaccinations for boarding. Call ahead to confirm exactly which records the staff will need, and have them ready before drop-off. For general questions, the resort can also be reached by email at typesetit@att.net.
