“Linda is wonderful, caring and you can see how much she loves animals. Our girl is a little high maintenance and Linda went over and above to make sure she was taken care of. Kept us updated with pictures. Our girl felt right at home the moment she arrived. She also fell in love with Ron he played ball with her which is her favorite pass time. She had a great time . So grateful for her.”
“Fabulous, Fabulous, Fabulous, Friendly, Caring, and SO wonderful! Our Ruby was happier staying with her than she is staying at home with one of us when the other leaves the house! Her constant updates, photos & videos are a terrific comfort! We will absolutely trust her with our Ruby again! Thank you, Lenetta!”
“Our 2 Havanese loved their time with Erica and her family! The felt very comfortable and at home with Erica! Erica kept in contact with us and shared pictures of our ‘kids’ during their overnight visit! We will be returning!”
“Nola & Rick are everything I was looking for in a pet sitter for Juli! Juli comes to work with me every day and helps out in my therapy office. That being said, she is not used to being left alone. The home setting Nola & Rick provided for her set me at ease. Knowing that she would not be left in a boarding cage unattended helped me relax and enjoy my time away from her! They were caring and attentive, welcoming Juli into their home with their own pets. The meet & greet helped our pets get to know each other before they met again for Juli's stay. Thank you both for this great experience!”
“This was my kodas second stay with stephani and I couldn’t be happier. I ended up needing to extend the stay and she was very helpful and flexible. She always keeps me updated with messages and pictures, which makes me feel really comfortable while I’m away. I trust her fully with my dog and will definitely book again.”
“Ozzie loved staying with Katie and her family. Katie sent lots of pictures and videos of Ozzie so we didn’t have to wonder how he was doing. Would recommend 100%!!!”
“Such a sweet family! They took very good care of my Cookie! And she made bestie's with her daughter. Happy that she was happy. Will definitely use them again in the future. Thank you Stefhany &Jean. Will definitely recommend them to others. 🥰”
“Fantastic care for our older pup. Dawn was communicative and a breeze to work with. She obviously cares deeply about the welfare of the animals she looks after and I wouldn't hesitate to book her again in the future!”
“I can't say enough good things about Candace & Joe...our experience with them boarding our dog Sammy for a week was better than we could have imaged...she kept us posted with frequent pictures & texts, letting us know how he was doing, so we could relax & enjoy our cruise. It was the first time we had left him with anyone other that family or close friends & we were a little apprehensive...he hadn't exactly adjusted well to our move to Citrus County & it had been difficult to do things we wanted to do that did not allow us to take him along. We can definitively say we have found great caretakers for him, & I have no doubt he will be excited to see Candace & Joe again! Thanks!!”
“Sarah was GREAT!! She was kind, attentive and sent me pictures. She took my pups for walks. I love that they were in a home, not just a kennel. I loved talking with Sarah. She was easy to work with and I would definitely have my pups stay with her again”
“Mary took excellent care of my dog for four days. She and her husband are both nice people and it’s evident they care for their own pets as well mine. Definitely recommend and will entrust them with my dog in the future if they’re available. 🐶”
“Chris and Joanne we’re amazing with my 18-year-old Cupcake! A lot of people shy away from caring for an old girl, but I’m so happy I found Chris and Joanne! I can’t thank them enough for helping me feel at ease from the moment I met them. Their home is truly a pup home and the extras they put in place to ensure Cupcake was safe was over and above any expectations that I had. For this, I am truly grateful. ❤️🥰”
“We were very nervous to leave our boy (Blake) with someone other than family, but Samantha put us at ease. Blake seemed happy with the whole family. Samantha sent pictures often which helped with the separation. We definitely will be having Samantha watch our boy in the future.”
“Kailyn was awesome with my dogs!! They’ve been “hungover” all day after spending the weekend at her house! One became obsessed with one of her toys and she let him keep it! She is clearly a loving dog person and my dogs can’t wait for their next vacation!”

Rhonda did a Fantastic job with our dog Quilla. She sent pictures everyday of how much fun he was having staying with her. Also i want to thank her for watching him on such a short notice. I would highly recommend that if anybody needs a pet sitter to contact Rhonda
