“Issac and Vanessa took the best care of our cat, cheese! Literally heaven sent. I was worried sick about leaving him for 5 days but they really put my worries at ease. They kept me updated with pictures and videos and he looked comfortable every time. Our flight ended up being delayed a whole day and they took him for an extra night. I can’t thank them enough, our cheese is finally back home and looks great. I made a great choice and cheese will definitely be back whenever I need to leave on a trip again and will know he’s in great hands. Thanks again you guys ❤️”
“Melissa was great from the beginning! Her greeting was like she already knew Cinnie and Cinnie fell in love! She helped with having her walk steadily and was very patient. She also sent me insta-worthy pics of my beautiful long haired doxie. She was always responsive and had great tips for training my puppy. Already booked again!”

“Quedé muy complacida con el cuidado de mi gatica. Ella llegó un poco tímida pero con la dedicación de la Sra. Janet, salió de su escondite y se sintió segura. Recomiendo 100%, porque es muy dedicada y cariñosa con las mascotas. Gracias...”
“This was the second time with Emily. I can’t thank Emily enough for the wonderful care she provided. She caref for him like he was the only pet in her house. I only wish that I could have brought her with me to Gainesville 😭”
“What a find and a blessing it is to have found Natalia and her wonderful family! We have two shepherd / lab mix pups with a LOT of energy and boarding has never really been something we considered due to the long hours in a crate. This beautiful family took in our fur babies and just made them part of their everyday life for the time we were gone. You can tell they just love dogs so much and enjoy all the different personalities that they get to care for. We will definitely be booking again and frequently as our dogs now consider this a home away from home ❤️”
“Hard to explain how grateful we are to have found Dorisa and Craig to care for our Hazel. We were able to go on vacation and not wonder how she was doing because Dorisa was in frequent communication with pics/ videos which I loved receiving. 😊 It brought such peace of mind to see her being lovingly care for. Also, they went above and beyond to keep her routine and humor her quirky habits. They were so amazing with her! We will definitely be booking with them in the future without hesitation. Thank you!”
