“I was overall happy with the care Mary gave to my pet. She knows everything about cats whether they’re big or small. I was updated by her and gave me photos and videos. My cat enjoyed his time at her home and it was like a vacation for him. I will for sure come back for her whenever I need a cat sitter.”


“I cannot begin to sing the praises of Debbie and Tom and how amazing they are. My Lola is almost 14 years old and takes heart medication. She's very needy and constantly wants human companionship. She did not lack for any attention whatsoever. They took such good care of my baby and every small detail was taken into consideration by them. The daily pictures also helped me to see she was in good spirits. When I picked her up she was so clean, her bed and blankets and dishes were washed prior to pick up. These small gestures really meant a lot to me. I really cannot sing their praises enough and now I'm excited that I've found people who will love my baby as much as I do.”


“Kristi was the perfect dog sitter! I can tell my pup was well taken care of and happy. She sent me updates and pictures. Her kids and dogs were great with Rotsoe. Amazing communicator and a wonderful, clean, safe home. I recommend her especially for the anxious dog owners like me lol.I will be definitely using her again.”


“Maria was amazing! From the moment we had our meet and greet I knew my fur baby was going to be in great hands. She communicated with messages and pictures and my Sasha had a great time.”


“First off I want to say Natalie and her family are awesome!!! We had a short trip down to the Keys and I had to leave our dogs with a sitter. This is the first time either dog has been with a sitter and my one female dog has a traumatic past so is very shy/skittish. Natalie and her family treated our dogs like their own and spent so much time with them, making sure they felt comfortable. Natalie even spent the time to sit with Koa (my female dog) and make sure she ate her dinner. Jackson (our male dog) had a blast playing with Natalie's kids and got all the attention his playful puppy self needed. I don't live in Florida full time but I know while I am down here if I need dog sitting, I will rebook Natalie to watch our fur kids again. Thanks so much Natalie for everything you and your family did to make Koa and Jackson feel safe, loved, and comfortable ❤️”


“Another perfect experience with Elizabeth! I left my mini goldendoodle for the day today and she sent some great photos and videos of Dakota having a blast with her boys and fellow pups under her care. Looking forward to our next stay in January!”


“Antonio was amazing!! Friendly, easy to communicate with and understands dogs. He treated my fur baby like his own immediately and always sent us pics and updates. We had a family emergency and he was able to accommodate us without any issues and we were reassured in a stressful situation. Definitely will call on him again to help out with our baby!”


“Kristina was wonderful with both of my dogs- super communicative, sent tons of pictures and gave them so much care and patience and attention. Definitely recommend she was great!”


“Appreciated the check-in pictures and daily updates. My dog seemed to have a great time at Natalie’s and even had a few other friends to play with. Natalie was also very professional, and I’d be happy to leave my dog with her again!”


“Nicole looked after our two dogs for a four days. They were well taken care of and she sent pictures and a video to keep us updated. I would highly recommend Nicole.”


“Monique was an amazing cat sitter! She took our two cats in and they grew to love her! She was super communicative and sent lots of photos and videos daily. We could really tell she liked taking care of the cats and we were super comfortable having her watch them!! She’s the best!!”


“Camilla was super nice and took really good care of Molly. House is fully enclosed and she owns a medium size dog. I'm hoping to use Camilla again in the near future. Thanks!!!”


“Juan Pablo provided an amazing environment for my timid pup! He sent frequent updates and pictures and I felt comfortable knowing my dog was safe and well cared for. Would highly recommend and will definitely be booking with him again!”


“They pay so much attention to my doggo and treat him as if he is theirs. I know my pup is safe and happy with these amazing hosts. My dog didn’t even want to leave!! H loves them and their dog Riley so much 💕”


“I cannot recommend Maisa highly enough! She boarded my pomsky, Romeo, for four days and she provided best-in-class service from start to finish. Her communication was above and beyond—she sent a milllion photos and videos, keeping me updated from sunrise to sunset. I never once had to wonder how Romeo was doing; I could see how happy and comfortable he was every step of the way. Additionally, Romeo absolutely adored Maisa's two dogs. They played well together and by all accounts there were no issues integrating Romeo into her home. It was clear she genuinely cared about Romeo and treated him like one of her own. Her attention to detail, warmth, and reliability gave me complete peace of mind. I came home to a happy, healthy pup, and I know he had a great time playing with her two dogs! If you're looking for someone who will love and care for your dog like family, look no further. I will absolutely be booking with her again!”


“Heather made our trip away from home so much easier!! She was super responsive, sent us updates and pictures multiple times a day. We were happy and comfortable working with her. We finally found someone we can trust with Capri :)”


“Kathye definitely lived up to her 5 star reputation. When it comes to trusting someone else with your pet, there really isn’t much more to ask for than having them returned to you happy and healthy and that is exactly what I got. Kathye very clearly understands the emotional component of leaving your pet behind and will keep you updated the whole stay-she is quick to respond to messages and you will feel very comfortable from drop off to pick up. I have spent 3x as much money on pricey pet hotels and had my pet return to me limping and injured with no explanation. You will not be disappointed if you choose to board with Kathye. IMO she is worth way more than she charges.”


“Rebecca is quick at communicating and I got daily photos and fast replies. She has plenty of space and is very kind. She asked about my preferences for feeding and crating my pup. Her pup, Pepper, was sweet and played well with mine (after just a little grumbling from Pepper to let mine know it’s peppers house lol but both tails were wagging like crazy). Rebecca is a great pet sitter. I definitely recommend her, and would love to return to her as long as she’s available.”


“Dave loved our dog like his own. Hawkeye loved the huge backyard. He sent tons of pictures and videos. I could enjoy the vacation knowing he was getting all kinds of attention . Will definitely contact Dave again!”
