1. Tich M.

“I was extremely happy with Tich, Not only was she beautiful inside and out, she genuinely cared about my dog Billy. He was a little anxious when he first got there and she knew just how to calm him down. She sent me lots of pictures and videos, which gave me comfort. He looked very comfortable and calm when we picked him, and that says a lot. I would definitely use her again.”


2. Kalli K.

“Kalli was great with my Dog Gracie. She lives directly across from a huge park that has both a small dog and large dog, fenced in well maintained dog park. Her personal dog was great with Gracie as well and is very calm and laid back. They played well together and Kalli sent regular updates and pictures. I will definitely book again and highly recommend her.”

8. Antonio R.

“Antonio came through for us in a pinch over Thanksgiving holiday and we are so grateful! This was Marley’s first time staying with Antonio and from the moment we met him at his grooming salon (which is so nice btw!) we were instantly comfortable. We are helicopter parents and he didn’t bat an eye and was totally understanding of our novel of instructions and requests including her preemptive first aid medicines. We can tell he was very attentive to Marley while we were gone and she got walks and lots of treats and even made a couple of pup friends who he was also babysitting. We got updates and pictures everyday and Marley came home fresh & fluffy (as we took advantage of his grooming service 😃) and happy. Thank you so much Antonio for taking such good care of our Marley!! We would happily recommend him to anyone have have him babysit her again! 🤗”

15. Steve G.
About: I'm a dog lover with over 15 years of experience caring for pups. For the past 5 years, I've been a dedicated foster parent for South Florida Dachshund Rescue, welcoming over 20+ adorable pups into my loving home! Currently, my sweet dachshund, Luna (age 10!), keeps me company, and I previously had a Jack Russell who lived a happy life to 17. Being around dogs my whole life has given me a deep understanding of their needs. I can tailor walks to your dog's energy level and personality, ensuring they get the exercise and playtime they deserve. Whether your pup is a playful dachshund or a spunky Jack Russell, I'll treat them like my own – with love, patience, and respect. I taken care of dogs of all ages and have learned the patience of gaining a dogs trust with love and affection. I am self employed and have lots of free time through out my days all week Monday thru Sunday to cater all your pet care needs. My Luna is potty trained and moves around the house as she pleases. Our apartment offers tons of space and is a very peaceful and welcoming environment for any dog.


16. Marcella N.

“Marcella was wonderful. She watched our baby Milo for 8 days while we went on vacation. During that time Marcella sent us twice daily updates with pictures. This made it easier for us to enjoy our vacation. Milo was well spoiled and treated like one of her own dogs. She has a wonderful little dog named Allie who was a perfect companion for our Milo. Marcella took the time to walk Milo daily and give him a bath while we were gone as he like to play and get dirty. would highly recommend Marcella for any care for any of your special babies.”


17. Yolyann R.

“I found the best sitter in Miami! Yolyann not only accepted my baby last minute but was super flexible with our schedule. I received pictures every day and had peace of mind that my dog was in good hands so I was able to enjoy my mini vacation and based on the pictures he had a good vacation too.”


18. Kristina I.

“Kristina was very good with my dog. I felt very comfortable boarding my dog with her, she makes sure to keep you updated and send pictures/videos throughout the entire stay. Also, besides a good pet sitter she is overall a good person, very reliable, and trustworthy”


19. Lydia C.

“We couldn’t be happier with our dog boarding experience! Lydia was incredibly flexible with our last-minute drop-off and accommodated a change in our pickup date. We received daily photo updates, which gave us peace of mind, and our dog had a great time playing with the other dogs. The spacious backyard gave plenty of room to roam and explore. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”
