“Jessica and Willie were great hosts for my pup. She responded quickly and took him in very last minute. Communicated with me and sent lots of pictures. Winston was very happy! Will definitely book again.”
2. Laura C.
“Laura is loving and caring. She took very good care of my Rhett and she sent me pictures everyday to show me that he was doing fine. I would highly recommend Laura to care for your dog. I will ask her to watch and care for Rhett again.”
3. Jessica A.
“We are so thankful to have found Jessica to watch our sweet Rottweiler, Vinny! As pet parents, we were a bit worried about leaving him anywhere, especially since he’s a bit “extra” at times, but Jessica made the experience so stress-free. Vinny had an amazing time, and honestly, when he came home, it seemed like he wanted to go back to her place! We can tell he was in great hands, and we truly appreciate the care and attention Jessica gave him. Vinny will absolutely be back! Thank you so much, Jessica!”
4. Giovanni G.
“This was my first time using Giovanni and I am 100 percent satisfied. I was sent pictures of my dogs as well as a report card of how their stay was. My dogs were even given a treat for the car ride home that kept them entertained. Pricing was very reasonable and affordable, will definitely be using the service again for our next trip. Thank you for taking such great care of Maya and Logan!!”
5. Madeline D.
“Best pet sitter in town very patient and friendly. Kept me updated the whole time while I was away from my home. 5 stars is not enough to give Madeline”
6. Jose O.
“Jose watched my family’s dog and two cats for a week and was 10/10 awesome. He sent us photos and videos, was prompt in responding to us, and made drop-off and pick-up so easy. An added bonus? Our dog came home perfectly clean and brushed, and all three of our fur babies came home happy. I would absolutely hire him again!”
7. Anastasia E.
“Anastasia has been our best sitter yet! Her knowledge of dogs and their behaviors was reassuring while we were away. She was flexible in taking on our daughter's dog at the last minute and handled them both, flawlessly. Also, her daily updates and pictures/videos were fun to view while away and gave us a great sense of confidence that our furry friends were in good hands. Thank you very much, Ana, we will be back. I would highly recommend Anastasia to all.”
8. Marijana K.
“I cannot express how grateful I am for the exceptional care Marijana and her lovely children provided to my dog during his 4 -day stay at her home. From the moment I dropped him off, I could feel the warmth and attentiveness that put my mind at ease instantly. Marijana treated him like family, and her genuine love for animals was evident in every interaction. Not only did she ensure his routine was perfectly maintained, but she went above and beyond by teaching him new skills and behaviors that I can already see making a positive difference. It’s clear she took the time to get to know his personality and needs, tailoring her care to make him feel comfortable and secure. Throughout his stay, Marijana continuously kept me updated with wonderful videos and pictures, capturing all the moments of his day, from playtime and walks to peaceful naps. Each update showed just how happy and engaged he was in her care, which made my time away truly stress-free. Her children were also so gentle and involved, giving him even more love and attention, which I found truly heartwarming. It’s rare to find someone who can offer such a perfect balance of professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals. Marijana has far exceeded my expectations, and I feel incredibly lucky to have found someone who cares for my dog as if he were her own. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet with the utmost care, attention, and affection, Marijana is absolutely the best choice!”
9. Shawn G.
“Shawn was amazing! We have an anxious senior Golden Retriever who needs extra attention and care. Shawn made her very comfortable and sent lots of pictures and updates. We will definitely be repeat customer!”
10. Nirvan D.
“Great. Good communication and photos. My puppy got some good exercise and interaction he needs too!”
11. Laura L.
“My two pups were so happy and felt at home at Laura’s. Laura communicated well and responded quickly. She sent multiple pictures, videos, and text updates throught the day! She was so sweet, and the dogs quickly warmed up to her. She even came up with a unique way to get my dog to eat all of his meals as he is a grazer when it comes to eating. We would definitely recommend Laura and will use her again!”
12. Don S.
“Pluto had a great stay with Don and Linda! Don was communicative and even gave me tips to helping Pluto with his jumping and leash pulling. We will definitely be reaching out to Don again and would recommend him to anyone who wants a loving place for their pet to stay! 10 out of 10!”
13. Jennie D.
“Jennie was loving and caring to our 9 year old cockapoo. Together with her husband, our Sophia was well taken care of . Many walks , cuddles and extra attention was apparent in the many pictures and updates they sent us . We also appreciated Jennie suggestion to do a”meet and greet” so Sophia would feel comfortable . Overall a great experience .”
14. Jeanette N.
“Jeanette was fabulous. We set up a meet & greet a few weeks prior to me needing her service. She made me feel at ease and asked lots of questions about my pup so that she was ready ahead of time. I got regular photos and updates, without asking for them. My pup was being thoroughly spoiled the whole week. I highly recommend Jeanette for your dog sitting needs.”
15. Nicole W.
About: Ever since I was a kid caring for animals is something I have loved. Anytime a family or friend needed their dog, cat, or reptile to be taken care of they always brought them to me knowing that they would get taken care of as if they were my own. To me being able to care for someone's pet isn't just another job or responsibility but a way to help someone out, while also being able to do something I enjoy, which is what i feel sets me apart from many people. For experience that I have, I've taken care of pets such as dogs, cats, snakes, and hamsters. I currently work Monday- Friday where I work from 12-6. So I am available in the mornings and on the weekends. I can also do overnight stays as I will be home to take care of them. If I am dog walking I always prefer a park or somewhere with grass as it tends to be cooler so that they don't risk burning their paws in the hot pavement especially in Florida. If I am pet sitting I will always ensure to play with them and spend time with them the whole time I am with them as. I usually like to take them to go potty every two hours or sooner if they show that it is needed. I also like to bring toys or treats with me (with the permission of the owner) when I am taking care of them. Any toys I bring are always either new or rubber toys that have been cleaned.
16. Fernanda C.
“Fernanda did an amazing job with Lucy. She and her husband were very flexible with dropping off and picking up our Lucy Lou. It was also nice they were able to host us for a brief meet & greet to ensure both her and Dexter got along well. Highly recommend and we look forward to Lucy's next visit knowing she will be in good hands.”
17. Jeannette B.
“I highly recommend. Jeanette was amazing and flexible, she even went out of her way to pick Loki up while I was coaching and happened to book the wrong day. Loki was so happy playing with her dog when I came to pick up. Would use again!”
18. Miguel L.
“Miguel was wondering at communicating and helping my dog come out of his shell. Very patient, very understanding, and very kind. My dog is never outgoing and by the next day Miguel had him sleeping belly up and looking to be pet. Very grateful.”
19. Teresa K.
“Teresa took such great care of Jojo! She takes the responsibility of caring for others’ pets very seriously. She understands dogs and their behavior and took great care to make sure Jojo was comfortable. Jojo was a little timid the first day, but settled right in by the second day. Teresa gave me many updates during Jojo’s stay along with photos and videos. Jojo was affectionate with both Teresa and her husband. It is such a relief to find someone that I feel so comfortable leaving Jojo with.”
20. Perry F.
“Perry took good care of our two dogs. He gave us daily updates and lots of pictures. Our dogs had a great time with his dog Francis. We highly recommend Perry!”
