Dog Boarding Bayou Oaks

“Viktoryia was a pleasure to talk to and her whole family definitely loves and cares for dogs. Her place is amazing and the dogs absolutely couldn’t get enough of their little adventure. We picked our pups up clean and happy, you could tell they had a lot of fun! I would recommend everyone to reach out as we were worried about our boys but she kept us informed and confident the entire time we were away!”

“Jewel was so kind and detailed taking all the info I had for Luna since she is Diabetic and on special diet. Has a fenced in yard and walks the dogs. She brought out her two precious little princesses to meet Luna and they were so adorable. Her detailed text with pics of Luna’s daily events made my day. Thank you so much Jewel. I can see Luna was super relaxed since picking her up and her usual cry whining just didn't happen. It usually takes her three days to get chill again when I leave her. Thank you and your pups for her great stay away from home. 💖 You were the perfect pick for Luna.”

“Wonderful communication and care on a very last minute booking. Didn't have to worry at all because my normally shy pup seemed to immediately snuggle in and love Yvette”

“Absolutely fantastic sitter. Her and her family took amazing care of my girls. She kept me updated daily and even sent me pictures of all the adventures they had. My dogs are my only family and finding someone to care for them in my absence is very stressful. Elisa took all the stress away and showed my girls all the love I would have. Would 1000% recommend to anyone that is looking for a loving home for their fur babies. Thank you Elisa! I will be booking again soon”

“I used Rover for the first time and was honestly a little skeptical because of past experiences. However, my original sitter had an emergency and recommended Rover, so I decided to give it a try. After reading countless reviews, I came across Alyssa and felt comfortable enough to book with her and I’m so glad I did. From the moment I met her, I felt at ease leaving my baby in her care. She was incredibly sweet, very communicative, and always responded promptly with pictures and videos whenever I checked in. What really stood out to me was how flexible and accommodating she was, especially since this was a last-minute booking she truly was a lifesaver. Most importantly, when I picked up my baby, she was so happy and comfortable. She didn’t seem anxious or like she was trying to rush out, which meant everything to me. I would absolutely book Alyssa again anytime I’m visiting Sarasota. Thank you so much, Alyssa!”

“I cannot say enough great things about Francis! She watched my senior dog, Madi, for a week while I was on vacation. Just before I dropped her off, Madi had been scratching and developed an issue with her eye pressure and had to start eye drops. Francis welcomed her with open arms. A few days into her stay, Madi needed a follow-up vet visit, and Francis took her in and handled everything—including her meds and eye drops—with so much care and attention. Madi is also on heart meds and requires extra support, and Francis went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and well looked after. She sent me daily updates and photos of her relaxing on the couch or exploring her big backyard, which gave me so much peace of mind. I knew Madi was in loving, capable hands. Francis is kind, thoughtful, and clearly has a huge heart for animals—she had a senior dog herself so she understands. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Madi stay with Francis again. You are amazing, I can’t thank you enough!”

“Donna and Michael were exceptional pet sitters for our dog, Arizona. Their home is very inviting and almost designed perfectly for dogs. We truly felt Arizona was in a very safe place and with other dogs that were all gracious hosts and welcomed Arizona without it being overwhelming. We highly recommend them and will use them again in the future.”

“Deborah did a fantastic job! She communicated to advise if all was going well. Was very professional and in my opinion, is an expert in dog sitting. She has several dogs and is well equipped to manage a dog. Was pleasantly surprised how easy the process was and how my Lola enjoyed the stay. Great experience and will definitely use her service again!!”

Mark S.

“Can’t say enough positive things about our first experience with Amelia! Very accommodating—she even kept him an extra night when I miscalculated our booking! Sent lots of photos and we could see our pup was comfortable with her and her dog. Will be using her again every chance we get!”

Paula M.

“We were nervous about boarding our dog the first time (mainly my wife) and Lisbeth was an absolutely fabulous person to trust our puppy with! She is a professional, caring, and responsible "sitter" and we will be lucky if she is available the next time we need her. Yes this is a lot of praise, but it's for good reason. Thank you!”

Christopher S.

“My pups had a great time!!! Hope sent pictures and kept me updated the whole time. Her home is so dog friendly with toys and dog beds galore. I picked them up today and already booked their next stay!!”

“Cyndee is so good with Lily! When I meet with Cyndee I thought yes she is ok. Because she is very loved for animals and Lily liked her. I was sure for my baby is in the good hand. And when I returned for drop off Lily I saw my baby is happy. I am very glad to Cyndee took for Lily. Thanks again for taking great care of my baby”

“Thelma is the best. Beatrice does well in a home setting, feels safe, and doesn't come home stressed. I trust Thelma -- she treats Bea like one of her own. Highly recommend.”

Mary P.

“Audrey and Joseph are always the first place I check when I need a sitter! They do a great job of making my pup feel welcome and send daily photos. Trust them 100% with my fur baby.”

“Sarah was great! We booked her for a last minute Disney trip and she was very accommodating. My dogs did great, she had everything for them. She even sent pics of them. We felt that they were in good hands.”

“Lori and her husband welcomed my Louie and Natty into their home this past weekend. This was our first Rover experience and it could not have been better. My boys were well taken care of, happy and I received regular progress updates and pictures which I loved. Lori was also very accommodating when our flight home was running late. I would highly recommend Lori, and I will do so to family and friends in the area. If you want the best care for your pet, I would book Lori. This was a wonderful first experience with Rover!”

“Merve was great with our pup! Had no issues with special diet and supplements and sent photos or video everyday. Dru had such a great time playing all week with Thor. Thanks so much!”
