“Had to leave a second review because Raquel is the best. My boy Pablo always comes back happy and calm, it's such a relief knowing he's so well cared for. 1000% recommend!”
“Shirley was amazing! Great communication, she sent me the cutest pics of my dogs having the time of their life. Very caring, informative and was even able to drop them off. She took all the nervousness out of boarding my dogs. A+++”
“We had a wonderful experience with this dog boarding service! It was my first time leaving my puppy with a boarding service, and I was always anxious about leaving her with people I did not know. This time I did not have a choice, and I was so lucky to find Tiffany. She sent me daily updates with photos, videos, and comments, which gave me so much peace of mind. My puppy looked happy and well cared for throughout her stay, and she was cheerful and relaxed when I picked her up. It was clear she had been in great hands during my trip. We will definitely use Tiffany's services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a safe, caring, and reliable place for their pet.”

“This was our first time boarding our dog with Diana. We were excited to meet her but not more than our Missy was! Diana was punctual, professional, and warm. Our dog took to her right away as her love for animals was evident. She regularly updated us with photos of our dog while we were away which I appreciated. I would recommend Diana to anyone who likes to know that their pup is in not only good hands but a warm home as well.”

We truly appreciated all the love, attention, and care Amy gave him. We would definitely trust her with Eric again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“A wonderful home away from home for our Tony Pupperoni! Susy, Richard, and their son Miguel are a lovely family who took the best care of our boy! They were very responsive, sent pics, and went out of their way to make sure he ate well, played, and rested! We will for sure use them again and highly recommend if you’re looking for peace of mind when leaving your fur baby in someone else’s care!”
“Norman is an absolutely fantastic dog sitter! He truly goes above and beyond when it comes to caring for dogs. It’s clear that he’s not only experienced but also very knowledgeable about dog behavior, training, and health. Norman’s communication is great, and he always keeps me updated with photos and notes about how things are going. It’s such a relief to know that my dogs are in caring, capable hands while I’m away. If you’re looking for someone reliable, professional, and genuinely passionate about dogs, I can’t recommend Norman enough. He’s the best! 🐾”

“Erika is just the best! This was my first time being away from my two puppies ? ?. Based on the reviews, I chose Erika and I’m sooo glad I did it. Since the first moment she, and her daughter, were very sweet with my puppies, she sent me a lot of pictures and videos of them daily playing on her backyard, she took them for walks quite a few times a day, I could tell they were having a blast ?. She is very thoughtful and sweet and that made me feel in pace, knowing that my dogs were in really good hands ?. She is very flexible and understanding with the time. She and her daughter gave my puppies so much love and fun that once I picked them up, they immediately felt asleep ?. I’ll make sure to book again with her next time I have to go on a trip.”

Erick was very kind and accommodating, and Nina had a great time with him! He has a really nice backyard for the dogs to enjoy, and Nina seemed very happy and comfortable during her stay. I really appreciated how easy and pleasant he was to work with. Would definitely recommend him!
Marina is truly a gem! I was super anxious about leaving my dog with someone new for the first time, but she immediately put me at ease. She was so responsive and kept me updated with lots of pictures and videos throughout the stay. She has a gorgeous backyard, and her two daughters took care of my fur baby like she was their own. My dog had such a great time! I couldn’t recommend Marina enough. 🤍
I Left my dog with Sylwia for over two weeks. She sent multiple pictures, my pup got along great with hers, and she was communicative the whole time. They were the best snuggle buddies, which is great for a cuddly and anxious pup like mine. Wonderful and super friendly sitter and I will happily return again in the future!! Would (and will) 100% recommend to anyone in the S. Florida area. Thank you, Sylwia!
Our Cocoa had a fab time staying with Leo. He provided updates and photos everyday. We rescued Cocoa from the streets a few weeks before and required boarding before taking her back to the UK - Leo boarded her and he made sure that there was no halt in progress with her in terms of training and diet. She looked amazing when we picked her up and we could tell that she was well looked after with Leo.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
