“Samantha is always the best and most reliable!! She is always on time and takes the cutest photos of my boys to send me while she’s there. We’ve used her every time we go away and the pups are always happy and healthy on our return home. Highly recommend!!”
“We had Jessica drop-in on our kitty while we were away for a long weekend, and we have been so impressed by how well she got along with our shy (but sweet) kitty. She provided us with detailed updates, sent many pictures with every visit, was very communicative and responded in a timely manner. We have never felt more at ease leaving our kitty behind than we have leaving her in Jessica’s care. We would gladly have her take care of Sandy again. Thank you again for everything!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I could remember growing up with both but most importantly my experience in shelters and vet tech fields from learning to care for their emotional and physical needs and understanding on a deeper level to understanding their medical needs. I have experience with good animals and dangerous animals. Any quirks I can most definitely try to work with. I am currently working as a vet tech in Brevard County. I am lucky enough to have every other day off, to check in on your beloved fur babies and take on walks or even dog sit overnight. I have one small dog girl who loves anything and everyone she meets, and a big open field to have them run around in. Plenty of good quality treats and love to go around!

Rachel J.
“I am personally recommending Rachel! She always does an amazing job with my two dogs over the years (Cooper & Knight). She is always the first and only person we call every time we go out of town to watch the dogs and let them out and walk them as well as the person we call upon when we are unable to walk the dogs and let them out during a busy work week. She is reliable, responsible, timely, a true animal lover, and does a great job communicating. If I could give a rating it would be 10/10!! I swear sometimes we think our pets like Rachel more than us!! Can’t say enough about her experience and passion with animals. We love her!”
