I have two pups, Mya and Milo, that Carly always takes great care of when she watches them. Mya is a 17 year old Jindo, which if you know anything about the breed, you know they are very smart, very loyal, and can be very protective. On top of that, she also has health issues that requires medication and attention. Due to both of these things it is extremely hard to find someone both we and Mya trust to watch her when we are away, but Carly is one of those few people. She is gentle and patient with Mya, makes sure medications are given at the correct time, and sends us pictures to ease our anxiety of being away. Milo on the other hand is a Corgi who is much, MUCH easier to handle. She is equally as great with him, and I think he might like her more than us (he sure seems disappointed when we come home). All in all, she is very kind and attentive towards our dogs’ drastically different needs, and I would recommend her to anyone who is needing someone to take care of their pups — whether it’s just for walking or extended time away.

I can’t say enough good things about Jenna! While I was away in Spain, she took care of my dog Milton, and honestly, I think he might have had a better vacation than I did. She treated him like absolute royalty—my little king was spoiled in all the best ways. From regular walks and playtime to thoughtful updates and adorable photos, Jenna made sure I knew Milton was in loving, capable hands. It’s clear she genuinely cares for the pets she looks after. Milton can be a bit particular, but Jenna was patient, attentive, and incredibly sweet with him. When I came back, he was happy, healthy, and maybe even a little sad to say goodbye to her. If you’re looking for someone to love your dog like their own, Jenna is it.

About: Taking care of animals isn’t just a job to me, it’s a hobby! Giving them the proper care they need brings me happiness everyday! I’ve had animals since I was 5 years old, and I’ve learned so much as a I got older. Bathing them, making sure they have a consistent food schedule, and giving them love and attention is my main priority! I will love your fur babies like my own and give them the best care they need. I’m currently working in a restaurant, so my availability would be Sunday through Thursday the full day and night, and every other Friday and Saturday. In your home I’ll first make sure your fur baby trusts me and gets used to me as I know I’m a new person in their home. I’ll make sure their properly fed with your schedule, bathe them if need be, taking them on walks every couple of hours, and giving them one on one attention.

As Sophia’s father, it brings me a deep sense of pride to write this testimonial. From the time she was young, Sophia has had a special, almost instinctive bond with animals—especially dogs. She’s not just good with them; she connects with them in a way that’s rare and beautiful to witness. Now 20 years old and a junior at the University of Florida studying Environmental Science, Sophia has always had a heart rooted in compassion—for nature, for people, and especially for animals. She has grown up with three Golden Retrievers: Dewey, Jackson, and Monte. (Ollie and Charlie our cats too) These dogs weren’t just pets—they were family. I’ve seen her rise early to walk them, nurse them when they were sick, laugh with them, talk to them, and love them with her whole heart. She treats every dog as if they were her own, with patience, gentleness, and a joyful spirit. When Sophia is with a dog, you can feel the mutual trust and love. It’s not forced—it’s who she is. She’s dependable, responsible, and deeply caring. There is no one I would trust more with a beloved pet. If you’re looking for someone to care for your dog the way you would—maybe even better—Sophia is the one. I give her my wholehearted recommendation and a very enthusiastic 5 out of 5 stars. Sincerely, Bruce Famiglio A very proud father

Highly recommend her! She communicates and arrives on time. Our dog must have really enjoyed his time with her because he was napping when I got home and was tired. She updated me with great pics of their walk.

Mindee is everything I wanted for my dog. Mindee is competent, comfortable and friendly with Coco. I feel totally comfortable sending her off for a walk even though Mindee is brand new to her. We feel fortunate to have found her.
