Zoe was wonderful with our two puppies. She made sure to ask all questions and really get to know our dog’s personalities. She was so caring and loving. We have anxious pup who doesn’t like another dogs so she paid close attention to that. She was very respectful to our schedule for the pup and really made sure to follow. She was a great communicator also. She was giving plenty update for us anxious parents. I would recommend her to all our friends.

When Emily took care of my girl over spring break, I was nothing but comfortable the entire time being away from my dog. She was very loving and kind to her: always made sure her water bowl was full, fed her on time, walked her and let her sniff everything, but most importantly, Emily gave Jill space to get to know her on Jill’s terms. That’s important to me because she didn’t make Jill feel uncomfortable or pressured to like her, she let it happen naturally, and boy did it. I can’t recommend Emily enough, thank you!

Shannon was absolutely amazing with my boy Koda. She sent pictures and videos throughout her time with him and kept him right on his normal schedule. Her kind and calm demeanor made Koda feel comfortable right away. I wasn’t worried once! She communicated with me throughout her stay and reached out if she had any questions. I can’t recommend Shannon enough, she was awesome and I will definitely be booking her next time.

Alexis was amazing!! Although my dog Bella was not super enthused for our meet & greet, she had soooo much fun with her once they were at my place. She warmed up to her in due time and got all the cuddles, treats, play, and attention she needed. I received daily updates with pictures on how she was doing which I really appreciated. As someone with a slightly anxious dog 😅, I was pleasantly surprised at how much Bella behaved in my absence with Alexis. Anyone she feels comfortable with is someone I trust so I would deffffffinitely book again!

Lois did a great job of taking care of my dogs and house. The house was exactly as I left it, I was sent multiple updates a day on the dogs (along with photos), and they were flexible on leaving and return time.

We would DEFINITELY book Madyson again to stay with our pets. She was quick to respond, very communicative during her stay and the pets were happy and well-cared for. Don't hesitate to schedule a meet & greet with her and then book her! We got photos and an adorable video, and all was well when we returned home!

Haley has been very professional and responsible each time she has cared for my dogs. She has a love for animals and it shows in the care and attention she gives. What makes Haley stand out above the rest is the fact that she has worked in pet care environments (veterinary clinic, UF vet tech) for close to 10years! I am most grateful to Haley for professionally handling an emergency situation with my boxer when I was out of state. She contacted me immediately and sought care for my dog when I was unable. Thank you Haley, you are the cat’s meow!

Griffin is calm and understanding when it comes to my reactive dog. I can trust him walking my dog in a busy neighborhood. He does a great job of giving me updates with pictures. I feel comfortable with him being at my house and ensuring that the house is locked as well as kept clean. Overall, I would highly recommend him.

McKayla did a great job watching our dog. She's very kind and really seems to love the animals she pet sits and our pup seemed to love her too! McKayla sent us cute pictures and updates almost daily. That really made us feel comfortable with her. As a bonus our house was immaculate when we got home. We will be using her again!

Scott is ahh-mazing. I had a unique experience and he was so flexible and willing. I could tell my dogs loved him from the minute they met him. Pups were relaxed and so happy. More than I could have asked for. I hate giving him an awesome review because I’m selfish and want him all to myself. He’s so good I need to share ? Def will use Scott whenever the need arises. Thank you Scott!

Estefania was very professional from the start, a short meet and greet so out two dogs can meet her and she can get a short time with them. She had a calm nature about her which put our two dogs at ease. While we were away she took picture and sent them daily. Our house looked amazing when we returned and out babies were well taken care of. We will rebook.

Jess is so kind and patient with our exuberant dog, who I think likes her more than us! She is gentle with our shy kitties too. Jess is very reliable and we never worry when she is pet sitting for us. A+

About: I've lived with dogs for my whole life and started training them when I was a teenager! Live with large dogs, but love them all! I have a very flexible schedule. Currently, I walk my dogs from 8-8:30 am, but I'm available to customize anytime for walking or care as needed. I love and respect my dogs. I am firm with them, but very gentle. I try to understand their pack dynamic and fit myself in as a loving authority.
