“We couldn’t be happier with the care Viktoryia and her family provided for our corgi, Emma. From the initial meet and greet, we knew Emma would be in great hands and treated like part of their family. It was wonderful to hear that she got along well with Coco and their daughter. Throughout Emma’s stay, Viktoryia kept us updated with adorable videos showing Emma happy, comfortable, and having a great time. Those updates gave us peace of mind and made our vacation even more enjoyable. Viktoryia is an exceptional sitter, and we would gladly have her watch our Emma again!”

10. Kelsey S.
“Kelsey is fantastic with our pup and we’ve had her watch him several times. He is a bit of a nervous dog sometimes but he absolutely loves her and I know he gets extra spoiled when he’s with Kelsey.

14. Lindsey G.


“Lindsay is an awesome dog sitter. I had to leave the state for a couple of weeks and was perfectly comfortable having my “kid” at her house. It’s nice because she works out of her home and do you know about the dog isn’t love for long periods of time. I will definitely use her again !”




15. Thelma C.


“Thelma took great care of Jazz, my little westie. She sends me a video of Jazz having fun. It was a short visit, one night only. We will book with Thelma again. Highly recommended. Thank you Thelma. Greatly appreciate.”


16. Debra F.


“We have just moved to Sarasota and this is the first time we had to leave our dog Blini with a sitter. We were so lucky to find someone like Debra (and Howard too) who lives so close to us on Siesta Key. They have three small dogs, and she was very careful to introduce them to ours slowly so that our dog, who can be a little slow to adjust to new situations, wouldn't feel overwhelmed by them. They give all their dogs two long walks a day, which was great for our energetic dog also. Blini had a great Christmas weekend at Debra's place while we went to Miami. Thanks Debra and Howard and your three dogs!”


17. Adam W.

“Wonderful with my dog!”


18. Sarah & Aaron B.

“Hans had a great time with their family. We appreciated the pictures and info on how he was doing. Always nice to see Hans getting snuggles in while we are away. Their other dog was a sweetie and got along with Hans perfectly. We will definitely book again when we have to head out of town next time.”




19. Charlotte J L.


“Jazz had a great stay with Jeannine! She sent regular updates and she was responsive and professional. Most importantly, Jazz came home tired and happy!”


20. Lori M.

“Just wonderful! We left our Norfolk Terrier, Holly with Lori and Jim for 2 weeks while we were overseas and were absolutely at peace the whole time. Lori would send photos each day with a tidbit of what Holly was up to. They are very caring and we are so glad we found them. Holly enjoyed her stay very much! We highly recommend them. Thank you both for taking such good care of her!!”
