April was amazing. Very professional. Took care of any changes we had immediately. Our Animal kingdom loved her, and she loved taking care of them. She was always on time for her drop-ins and she checked in and checked out perfectly. She let us know of any issues, a and took care of them immediately. Such a pleasure knowing that we could relax knowing our pets would be well cared for. We were able to concentrate on our family. We will most definitely book with her again.

Jennifer is the best!!!! My cats were treated so well that I didn't see any difference in their behavior after our extended departure. They were relaxed when we arrived and I could see right away that they really liked the care Jennifer gave them. Jennifer was very helpful and available. She helped us out when our trip out of the country was extended by 2 weeks. I had peace of mind knowing my cats were in good hands. Everything was clean when I arrived and my cats had missed us, but I could see that they were relaxed and well fed. seraphin, my most shy cat, was super comfortable with her, and that's a great proof of the quality of the bond Jennifer knows how to build with animals. Thank you :-)

About: I have helped old dogs in the water, making sure they can swim, or at least tread water, while ensuring they stay afloat. I have taken care of dogs from year-old puppies, to old ones who need a little assistance getting up and down. I am always ready to go on a nice long walk, or just stay in and relax. I am available for boarding daily, with little notice necessary. I am at home full-time, and am ready and able to take care of your open whenever needed. I have a yard with no fence, and live on a lake with a dock. I do have 2 cats, but are very used to larger animals, and friendly with dogs. They can be restricted if necessary. I can easily crate your dog, if and when it is needed. I am also very good with cats, and have no issues if they get nervous or frightened.

To whome it may conern, Rachelle has watched our dogs for us on numerous occasions. She has watched them for days at a time when we have gone out of town, and she is also willing to go by the house and let them out, feed them and take them for a walk. We enjoy Rachelle. She is a pleasant young woman and has been very always been reliable and caring. We have never had any issues and certainly trust her with our precious fur babies. She is willing to facetime too and we really like that! I certainly reccomend her as a reliable dog sitter and our pups do too! God Bless

I recently had the pleasure of having Kira care for my dog while I was away for a week, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! Kira is an incredibly reliable and attentive person, making sure that my dog, Cooper, was well-fed, exercised, and loved. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing that Cooper was in great hands. Kira went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. I highly recommend Kira to anyone looking for a trustworthy, experienced, and caring dog sitter.

About: I have always been an animal lover and I’ve had dogs and other animals almost my entire life. I’ve personally had and cared for dogs of all sizes from a tiny teacup poodle (6lbs) to a huge labradane (125lbs) as well as all ages of dogs newborn-16 yo! I’m currently a student at Florida Southern College, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I am also an Army ROTC cadet at Florida Southern, so walking my dogs and yours is a great way for me to stay active! Safety is always my #1 priority, I will always lookout for the wellbeing of your dog based on their specific needs. Each dog is unique and has their own routine which is important for me to follow to the best of my ability.

Madison is a fantastic sitter! These are the things that stood out to me: - Madison was very punctual. We asked her for daily visits for our young cat Chidi and she was there at the same time every day. - The photos that Madison posted were amazing and I will cherish them forever. She also sent videos. - The Rover cards were detailed and I looked forward to them every day - I can tell Chidi loved her! We adopted him during the pandemic so he only knows us and a couple other people and I was worried he wouldn’t want to interact but he looked to be happy in the photos and videos. Will definitely book Madison again if she’s available.

Megan (aka Elly May) is a true animal lover! Just knowing she has many cats, dogs, fish, and a lizard tells me she can take care of any type of pet. She watched our 6 cats for a week and did a FANTASTIC job. We were stress free having her take care of our babies and the house...it's so nice to come home to a clean, fresh smelling house! She's extremely professional, honest and caring. Loved her service and highly recommend to everyone I know. If you want your pet's treated like the family members they are, Megan's your girl!
