“Deb was wonderful with our Bernedoodle, Crosby. He seemed very happy and comfortable in her home and she seemed to love him back. We felt very happy to leave him in her good hands. She kept us updated with pics and videos while we were away which made it even better!”

“Luna had a wonderful weekend with Rose! She sent daily pictures, took her on a visit to a friends house where she got lots of cuddles and attention instead of being home alone during that time, and even clipped her nails. We will definitely rebook in the future!”

“Sheree was soooo sweet, and so was her dog, Charley. She watched Chase for three days, and I can tell he had a good time. I will definitely book with her again in the future!”

“Lisa is very nice and you can tell she cares alot about dogs. It didn't take long at all for Lucy to be comfortable in her space and explore. Lisa kept me updated with lots of pictures of her playing and walking around which I loved! Lucy also came home very happy and tuckered out. Thank you, Lisa!”

“Great location when we flew out of Punta Gorda. The fenced in acreage was a great experience for or dog and Chelsea and Andrew gave her wonderful care. A happy, tired doggy upon picking her up. They communicated real well during our absence and we would leave her again there.”

“It was the first time we leave our dog here in the Usa...and we couldn't choose better!! Vicky and all her family were amazing with Hope...she sent us a lot of photos and video...and kept us updated with everything they did during the day...so we could enjoy our trip at best!!”

“Heather never disappoints! Our pup loves to stay with her! Heather goes above and beyond to make sure all her "guests" are loved and cared for. She sends pics and videos almost daily. I never have to think about whether Scooter is being well taken care of or not. We even had a major flight change and Heather was more than happy to have him longer than expected. He is booked for the following week again. He has met many other friends at his stay.”

“This is the second time we have boarded with Ms. Anna - I cannot say enough praise - she is amazing with our high energy Husky! She sent updates and photos and genuinely loves animals. She is our go-to caregiver :)”

“Amber was amazing to our dog Kenzo. She made sure to keep us updated with pictures and messages. She really cared for him and I could tell Kenzo was very happy. I will definitely book with her again for our next trip.”


About: I’ve always had dogs in my life from German Shepherds to our little cavachon. Since my kids are getting older and don’t need as much help, I have time to take care of your precious pets when you need it! I’m here to take care of everyone! My day is full of making sure every person and every pet has what they need! Walking, sleeping, eating, drinking, and mess making-someone has to take care of it all! I have a good sized yard and a nice wooded park with walking paths nearby for daily walks and outside time. Our home is clean and comfortable with big kids coming and going who love animals like I do!
“Our little dog was loved so much and taken really good care of. We appreciated that there was a meat and greet time set up a few weeks before we left him in her care. She also saw sent a few pictures throughout our trip that showed he was truly on vacation as well”

“Nanci and her husband were wonderful and you can tell they truly love dogs. Molly seemed to enjoy being with them and they took her for regular walks and kept in contact with photos. We definitely plan to use them again!”

“Danielle is a communicative, and thorough professional. She cares about the unique needs of the family and pets and takes the time to make sure that everyone feels comfortable. She provided so many updates and photos that it was hard to feel like we were even away from Roxxi! She was clearly being well cared for during our trip.”

“Thank you Jessica, Lucy and family for taking good care of our "girls" again this year! They had a nice time! We can tell because they were relaxed after we got them home. No signs of stress (like we've experienced in the past after bringing home our dog from the kennel). You folks do such a wonderful job with them, we really appreicate your care and understanding! Thanks again!”

“Megan was INCREDIBLE with our pup! She kept us updated during the week we were away. Great communication before and during our trip, too. Our dog was happy and clearly well taken care of. Would definitely recommend and have Megan watch our pup again!”
