“My girl, Cherry, is a frequent flyer at Gabriela's house. I have peace of mind knowing that she's in an environment where she's taken care of and loved like she's a part of the family. Yes, loved - I truly believe this. Gabriela and her kiddos know Cherry's likes, loves, and her silly quirks. They include her in family outings and activities. When she's not sure about something, like a food item treat, she reaches out. Communication is fantastic! I dont like going on trips without our girl, but Gabriela makes it easier with all of the picture, video, and text pupdates. If you're looking for a sitter who will take good care of your doggo, Gabriela may be a great fit! I highly recommend her ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Ana was great! She took excellent care of my special-needs boxer dog Jax, making him special treats and spoiling him in general! She was also able to keep him an extra day on short notice. I definitely recommend and will book with again!”
“If you’re looking for a loving, caring, and genuine sitter, use Sadie!! I just picked up my dog, Mamba, and I couldn’t have had a better experience through Rover. She sends daily photos and updates, and we will be using her services again. Thank you Sadie and family!”
“Thank you guys so much for caring for Dakota a second time I can tell he really enjoyed his stay and that you took very good care of him you will be my go to.”
“Sheila was amazing! We set up a meet and greet a few days before the stay, she was extremely sweet and my dog was very comfortable with her. She made sure that my dog was safe and made me feel at ease. She sent photos throughout his stay and updated me about how he was doing. 10/10 I would recommend Sheila to anyone who is looking for a sitter and I will be booking Sheila again when needed.”
“Erika always takes such great care of our fur baby! We came back to her as she did the best last visit and she always kept us updated, pictures, such great communication! I highly recommend her to anyone who visits!”
“Jordan was fantastic and took great care of my fur baby. My pup can be high maintenance, but Jordan was very good at attention to detail and great with interacting with her and sending photos.”
“Andrew and Maria are amazing. Our dog bonded with Maria instantly; she is a true “dog whisperer” and has a profound gift with animals. They both did an excellent job caring for our dog. You won’t find a nicer couple to look after your pet in the area. I highly recommend them!!!”
“Jessica did a wonderful job with Koda. Jessica sent lots of pictures and updates. Koda came home happy and healthy. Thanks for a great stay. Would definitely book again. The only downside was Jessica lives on base so we had to meet up at a location off base and transfer car to car. Not a big deal but may matter to some.”
About: Have had 6 years experience with dogs and have babysat for multiple friends, family, or family friends. I have a fenced yard and always willing to go for walks. Used to volunteer at an animal shelter in college I currently work full time on the weekdays and part time doing my masters online. Holidays and weekends I’m primarily available since I usually stay at home or in the local area to study. My full Time job allows me to have all holidays off! I have a fenced yard and a 1700 sq foot home with no roommates or other pets! Animals are available to roam all over the house freely and I am more than welcome to keep them out of a crate if they are trained and do not have a history or chewing on furniture
“Kayla and Trevor are honestly the best! They send lots of pics and give updates on what the dogs have been doing each day. Daisy always has the best time when she’s staying with them. They care for my dog just like they do their own. I will continue to use Kayla and Trevor!”
“Barbara took great care of my 3 dogs, she sent great updates too and was very responsive to all communication! Even worked with me regarding drop off time as I got held up at work! Thanks Barbara”
“Our young lab Storm had a great time hanging out at Jeannette's house this past weekend with her dog. From the way it sounds and how well he slept the night we picked him up he probably played the entire time. She was super easy to communicate with and sent lots of great pics of him hanging out in the water, her house and backyard while he was visiting. We would definitely recommend her for anyone wanting a positive experience for their dog.”
“Margaret was amazing with my fur babies. She sent plenty of updates including photos and videos. Very easy to communicate with also. If I could give 100 stars I would. Thank you for taking great care of of our little pack.”
“She's so sweet and great with the pups. They love going to her house and don't even look back! Laura has also gone out of her way to help me with other animals who stay home, cats and birds. I'm so grateful! Highly recommend.”
“We had a great experience leaving our sweet little Leo. They sent us updates, pictures, and videos. He even got a little bath before we picked him up. If we ever find ourselves in Destin again, we will definitely be dropping Leo off here.”
