“This was our second time having Joe and Reanaleena care for our dogs, Pereus and Atlas, and once again, they went above and beyond. It’s such a relief to leave town knowing our dogs are not only safe but truly loved while we’re away. They clearly remembered all the little details from the first stay and made the dogs feel right at home again. We got regular updates, photos, and even some sweet moments captured that really showed how comfortable and happy Pereus and Atlas were. Take advantage of their pick up and delivery options as well. I was beat from the drive and Joe dropped the boys off without hesitation. It’s rare to find sitters who are so reliable, communicative, and genuinely connected with the dogs. We’re so grateful to have found them and wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to book again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for care that feels like family!”
“She is amazing! she took care of my golden doodle like it was her own. I will definitely book her again ❤️ her dog summer is the best and got along with mine very well. Don’t hesitate and book her!”
“Laura was super accommodating and kind. Galileo and I just moved to Fl from ct and I needed to head across country for a last minute work trip. Laura made me feel comfortable leaving Galileo in her care and provided updates on how well he was doing.”
“We were traveling through Jacksonville and had a business dinner on the way. We needed a dog sitter on short notice and Katya stepped in to assist. We left the dog with her her for about 2.5 hours, received numerous pictures and updates. Great communication and affection for our dog. When we picked her up we were told they walked her for an hour since she was in the car all dayu. Great sitter, great communication! Thank you for helping us out!”
“Brandon was incredibly friendly from start to finish. He genuinely loves animals and his warm demeanor made both me and my pet feel instantly at ease. Brandon ensured compatibility offered a meet and greet to ensure it was a good fit with another dog to meet everyone's needs. Communication was top of mind as I received updates and photos which increased my level of comfort.”
“Meyoung was AMAZING!!!! So accommodating with my last minute booking and she did so well with my hyperactive puppy! I also appreciated all of the pictures and updates. I would definitely use her again and I highly recommend.”
“Rachel and her daughter were amazing!! From initial contact they made the experience seamless and welcoming. Koda didn’t want to go home he had such a good time. 10/10, hope to use their services in the future! Thank you both!!”
“Clarissa is amazing! Great communication and even sent pictures during our time away! My crazy pup came home exhausted! She even taught her how to sleep without being in a crate or in the bed with us and she is doing well not messing in the house when we are resting! I am so grateful! We booked again and will continue to book every trip we can with her and her amazing family!”
“Lala was fantastic! She came a little earlier to pick up Cleopatra because of a conflict that arose. On top of that, she kept her a little bit longer than prearranged delivery back home. She sent pictures and descriptions of Cleopatra’s mood and she did much better than I expected.(the cat, not Lala ;)). We definitely recommend her and would use her again.!!”
“It was great to leave Eli with Maria again, and know that I wouldn't have to worry about him while I was away on my trip. Maria was very nice, and accomodating, just as she was for a previous stay.”
“Anitra took exceptional care of Mia while we were away. From the moment we met her, we knew she would be in good hands. She was punctual, reliable, and truly attentive to her needs. Anitra sent us regular updates and adorable photos & videos, which put our minds at ease. Mia clearly loved her, and we came home to happy baby girl. Anitra’s knowledge of pet care, combined with her warm personality, makes her an outstanding sitter. We can't recommend her highly enough and will definitely be booking her again in the future! We are also super excited for HAPPY PAWS PARK to be completed. We appreciate you 🤎”
“Kristall is the absolute best!!!! I've never left any of my pets with a sitter and I was very nervous. Kristall answered all of my questions at our first meeting. I did a day care day to test things out before my trip. Otis had a great time and I no longer had any concerns with leaving him with Kristall. I was able to enjoy my vacation and received frequent updates and pictures. When I went to pick Otis up I don't think he wanted to leave. Thank you so much Kristall for spoiling my little dude!”
