Matt was great with my dogs! I have a 5 year old spaniel and a 5 month old terrier puppy. I have only had the terrier puppy for 3 weeks, and he is very attached to me and gets upset when he is not with me. We drove 20 hours from upstate NY, rented an Airbnb, and a few hours later left the dogs in order to attend an event at UF. This was a lot for my two little dogs! Matt handled them beautifully! Matt arrived on time and stayed with my pups for 5 hours. He took them for a walk, and settled them for a much needed nap. He sent me pictures of my dogs, which was reassuring to me as I was worried about how they would react after traveling so far and being left in a strange home. Matt communicated with me while I was away and his care for my dogs allowed me to enjoy my event. I would hire him again if I was local. 10/10 thank you Matt!!!!! ⭐️

Zoe was wonderful with our two puppies. She made sure to ask all questions and really get to know our dog’s personalities. She was so caring and loving. We have anxious pup who doesn’t like another dogs so she paid close attention to that. She was very respectful to our schedule for the pup and really made sure to follow. She was a great communicator also. She was giving plenty update for us anxious parents. I would recommend her to all our friends.

Lis was great with my dog Falcor. They made sure he was well taken care of and as a Siberian Husky, Flacor lets me know when he is not pleased... ;-)

Shannon was absolutely amazing with my boy Koda. She sent pictures and videos throughout her time with him and kept him right on his normal schedule. Her kind and calm demeanor made Koda feel comfortable right away. I wasn’t worried once! She communicated with me throughout her stay and reached out if she had any questions. I can’t recommend Shannon enough, she was awesome and I will definitely be booking her next time.

As a former owner of my own pet sitting business, Alexis proved to be a huge help for me. She was reliable, left house cleaner than when she left it, respectful of my clients property but most of all, animals love her. Both big and small, and including my difficult old blind dog who doesn't like many people! I highly recommend Alexis. She will be a wonderful asset to your team.

Lois did a great job of taking care of my dogs and house. The house was exactly as I left it, I was sent multiple updates a day on the dogs (along with photos), and they were flexible on leaving and return time.

McKayla did a great job watching our dog. She's very kind and really seems to love the animals she pet sits and our pup seemed to love her too! McKayla sent us cute pictures and updates almost daily. That really made us feel comfortable with her. As a bonus our house was immaculate when we got home. We will be using her again!

Rebecca was amazing with our Otto. She agreed to do a meet and greet and listened to his schedule and asked great questions. We also contacted her to do another drop in visit prior to r rating at our house while we were getting married. She was punctual and was able to exercise our very energetic boy. During her stay at our house, she took care of ottos needs but kept us informed and provided updates often. We came back to a happy dog and the house just the way we left it. We will definitely use her services again! 😊

Richard is amazing. He kept our pups for us in the middle of a hurricane, sent pictures of their care, and they were so obviously well cared for. So grateful for his good service. We highly recommend.
