“Chris took great care of our Vizsla, Kona. He gave us daily updates and pictures and walked her regularly. Just before drop off Kona had an unexpected trip to the vet due to a potential ear infection. When we brought the meds at drop off for him to administer for the week, he was very accommodating and gave them to her each day. We would definitely use Chris again!”
“Kevin was exactly who I needed to take care of my dogs while I flew across the country for a few days. He was flexible and great with communication. He answered quickly, gave me lots of updates, and photos! He took great care of my dogs. Helped to not be worried when I was on vacation, as I missed them a lot. Would definitely book with him again. My dogs were worn out and happy when they came home. Thank you!!”
“Julie and Joe were the best. I don’t leave my girl (Teka) with just anybody. She is a 15 year standard poodle and they have her insulin shots and very well cared for. I would recommend them for anyone. Dave and Janell Gage”
“This was Sawyer's first time at a sitters. I was so happy he had a great experience. Josie and her kids treated him like a family pet. All the pictures sent to me were wonderful and enabled me to enjoy my little vacation with no worries. I will absolutely using Josie again!”
“Bradley communicated well, sent many pictures and ensured our pup was well cared for. We appreciated meeting before the drop off for the dogs to get acquainted. We will certainly use Bradley again when visiting St. Joe.”
“Melissa was great! Very flexible and accommodating. Our dog Rocco received lots of attention, walks, and playtime with Melissa’s dogs. He came home very happy, calm, and ready to nap!”
“Michaelynn was AWESOME with our English Bulldog, Tootsie. When we took Toots there a second time, she couldn't wait to get in the door. Our dog has some special needs medically and Michaelynn went above and beyond. She sprayed her with a nice hypoallergenic grapefruit spray, she had a chicken broth labeled for her for us to take home, and she put rugs all over the house because our dog was unsturdy on hardwoods. The yard is huge and a great place to play and she doesn't have a million dogs there, so she gets great attention in what feels like a "family" environment rather than a sitter that is basically just a kennel. Couldn't recommend her enough! ”
