Charlayda, or “Layda” recently took care of our 4 dogs—2 11-mo olds, who sleep in the garage, are trained to bathroom on puppy pads, and a 4 and 5 year old who are totally family members who sleep on beds, love the outdoors, and live to please people! We went away for a military graduation for 6 days, and were nervous to use a “service” but our friend could not stay here, so we took a leap of faith with Rover and Charlayda. When she came for a Meet and Greet 4 days before we were leaving, we immediately could tell we were with a lover of dogs, someone knowledable who all 4 dogs quickly “took to.” All of our fears about leaving went away as she asked questions and took the time to get to know specifics about all 4. While away, we received photos, videos, and texts as requested. When we returned home, all the dogs were calm, happy, sat for treats better than before!, and we could just tell that Layda had earned an A++++ in every way. We never thought we could leave all of them. We were proved wrong!! She’s superb. We’re now thinking about a weekend away, something we considered impossible before!! We’re so grateful!!

Alexis was literally so wonderful. We had a trip planned for months, and one of our cats was diagnosed with pneumonia right before we were set to leave. Alexis was comfortable administering medication, and sent such good updates about how everyone was doing. I was actually able to relax and focus on the tasks I needed to do on the trip. Will one hundred percent be recommending her to others!

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I am very patient and loving. I know everyone might say that, but I really do love animals 🥰 I have my dog Kota who’s been my best friend for 10 years now, he’s super sweet and friendly with other animals. I have a huge backyard with a pool where your furry friend can run and swim. I also work from home so they will always have someone there. I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible. My mornings start off with feeding my animals and going for a morning walk with the dogs. During my lunch hour that’s when I let the dogs outside to run around and swim for an hour, and then again once my work day is done. We also take potty breaks in between. When my friends and family leave their dogs with me I follow the same schedule and make sure the dogs get plenty of exercise, tired dogs are happy dogs :) since I’m home all day me and Kota can provide companionship all day long for your furry kid :) I live in a house with a huge fenced in yard and a pool. Dogs are allowed on the furniture. I’m always around to make sure that they’re not eating things they’re not supposed to.

About: I’ve taken care of my personal dogs as well as family dogs for years. I love to play with them and just sit and cuddle with them as well. I am currently a graduate student at Jacksonville University. I am available after 2pm everyday, and on the weekends I can do all day! I am also usually up pretty late at nights so can do late night walks/sitting as well. I am a very trustworthy person. On walks I will make sure they don’t get into anything that may be harmful and always be prepared when in contact with other people/animals.

Jennifer is truly an exceptional, attentive, and trustworthy pet sitter. I have a senior diabetic cat, and consistency with visit timing is absolutely critical. Jennifer arrived on time, every single visit, and provided outstanding care not only for my cat, but for my home as well. After a few past sitter experiences, my trust isn’t given lightly, but Jennifer earned it immediately. Our meet-and-greet went wonderfully, and she followed through on everything she promised. Her reliability, communication, and genuine care gave me complete peace of mind. If you’re considering Jennifer, don’t hesitate. You, and your fur babies, will be so glad you chose her. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

Gracie did a fantastic job taking care of our cats over the holiday weekend. Her visits were timely as were her communications. All the photos of our babies put us at ease. She even managed daily medication needs for one of our cats without issue. I am happy to recommend Gracie.

Risa was a blessing to have, she took great care of our 3 dogs. Just as she would if they were hers. She came by our house very prompt and spent time walking our dogs , playing with them , feeding them and even hanging out in the house with them when the weather was rainy. They loved her as well . I would definitely rebook her for future appointments and recommend her. She takes her job very serious 10 ⭐️ out of 10 ⭐️

I don’t even know where to start. I had to go to the hospital unexpectedly and was panicking about my cats and my apartment. Illeana responded right away and stepped in when I really needed someone. She met me at the hospital to get my keys and took such good care of my babies, sending me pictures and updates that gave me so much peace of mind. But what she did beyond that completely shocked me. I came home to a clean apartment. She took out all my trash, cleaned my kitchen, washed dishes, bought bowls for my cats, left cleaning supplies and even flowers on the counter. She showed me so much kindness during one of the hardest weeks I’ve had. I have no family or friends in this country so she’s the only one I had during that time. She is compassionate, trustworthy, and truly goes above and beyond. I will never forget what she did for me and my cats. If you’re thinking about booking her, please do. She’s amazing.

On short notice, I appreciated that Amelia was so generous with her time. I was pretty harried with an unusual morning but she was calm and attentive to my dog. I felt comfortable leaving her in my home with Rusty and I couldn’t have chosen anyone nicer. We’d love to have her again
