“Gail took wonderful care of our sweet dachshund puppy, Frank - and was always diligent about sending photos updates so that we knew he was in good hands. We only used Gail for daycare, but would definitely recommend her!”


3. Pam L.

“I can't say enough great things about Pam! She took such incredible care of my dog, Duke, and went above and beyond in every way. From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely loves animals and takes her responsibilities seriously. Pam was incredibly attentive and caring throughout her time with him. She kept me updated with photos and little notes about their day. Whether it was long walks, playtime, or just snuggling up on the couch, Pam made sure Duke felt comfortable, loved, and safe. When I came home, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had been well cared for. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly compassionate to care for your pup, Pam is the one. She treated Duke like her own, and I’m so grateful we found her. Highly, highly recommend!”

Also, Erick sends me pictures and videos of my dog while I’m away to reassure me she’s doing well. I trust Erick 100% and have recommended him to coworkers and friends.

“I left my dog, Florinda, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! She’s usually a bit grumpy around other dogs, but she surprisingly made friends with Fera, who is incredibly friendly. It was wonderful to see how comfortable and well-cared for she was. Tarik and Isabela were amazing! You can truly see their love and dedication to the animals. Florinda came back home super happy, and we will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend! 🐶💙”

19. Nikita S.
About: I have always had an affinity for animals! You can leave your pet with me assured that they are getting the love, care, and attention they need because it is a true passion of mine. Raising and handling dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, even a squirrel I have truly seen it all. My experience of caring for animals of all different sizes, personalities, temperaments, and obedience levels I learned great patience and deep understanding of body language to get them the care they need. When under my watch, your pets will receive the same amount of love and respect I have towards my own. Their health and safety comes first always; then we work on how to keep them as happy and content as possible when they’re missing their parents. I have a very open schedule as it is a priority to get your pet the care they need. From week to week I will be there for your pet! I have owned and cared for cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, and even a squirrel! This includes spending quality time, walking, feeding, watering, bathing, vet visits, etc. I will treat your pet with as much respect, care, and love as I do my own. In addition, I’ve worked on crate, entertaining, and obedience training. While I love my pets dearly there is a hard line when their behavior can be reckless and possibly dangerous, I keep a close eye to make sure they are safe, healthy, and happy.


20. Mark L.

“Mark was great! We had a meet and greet the night before so we could discuss all details about caring for Buddy and have Buddy meet his dog Coal. Coal is a very laid back guy and they got along great! A plus for us is Mark works from home so he could be with Buddy all day. Mark is a super nice guy and very professional. We highly recommend Mark and hope to use him again during our stay at Pompano Beach!”
