“Joseph & Reanaleena we’re perfect! They were very professional and attentive. Giving me updates & pictures daily. My dog is more difficult than most and requires special attention and they handled it perfectly! I highly recommend! 5⭐️”
“Our Yorkie had a wonderful stay at Katya’s Paws Paradise. Katya attentively listened to all the details and special requests regarding our pup’s care, and she followed through on them. We received daily updates and photos during his stay. Katya’s own fur baby is a delightful, intelligent, and welcoming companion to any dog. We are eagerly looking forward to booking our next stay with them. Thank you for creating a home away from home for our fur baby!”
“Brandon was so amazing taking care of Nala. He communicated extremely well and kept in contact with sending pictures. Nala had such a great time and loved her stay! Will be booking with him again for sure!”
“Roogles had so much fun staying with Rachel and her family! This is the longest we have ever been away from Roogles, but Rachel sent several pics and it was clear that he was happy and fit right in with her family. Rachel has a sweet family that clearly loves animals! Their dog Dan-O is Roogles new best friend! When we picked him up, he didn’t run for the door like he usually does, he wanted to stay! When we got home, Roogles roamed our house looking for Dan-O! Rachel is definitely our number one pick in the future!”
“Lala was fantastic! She came a little earlier to pick up Cleopatra because of a conflict that arose. On top of that, she kept her a little bit longer than prearranged delivery back home. She sent pictures and descriptions of Cleopatra’s mood and she did much better than I expected.(the cat, not Lala ;)). We definitely recommend her and would use her again.!!”
“Very informative of my cat while be considerate with him and consistently giving him lots of attention, room to move around and made him feel at home. Her family and herself have gone beyond expectations for him.”
“Em & Carl were wonderful with my dog! He’s usually a bit skittish, but they were so patient and caring. I loved getting daily pictures and updates—it gave me such peace of mind. Highly recommend & will definitely use them again!”
“I appreciate the care given to my pup "Harley" that Lindsey and Jose gave during her stay. They were professional and communicate well before, during and after her visit. Thanks for taking care of Harley!”
“Our Luna girl had such a great time with Toni and her crew. Our girl can get overstimulated around too many dogs but she always had a place to relax on her own and Toni’s dogs were so sweet with her. Would definitely book with Toni again”
“Honey was amazing! She was not only attentive to my puppy’s needs but also sent regular updates keeping me in the loop with how everything was going. It was very reassuring to receive updates and photos showing just how happy and well-cared for my puppy was. She also takes photos as a hobby so we got some really nice photos of our puppy! It’s clear that she genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond. Highly recommend!”
“Emma and Adam were amazing and we are so grateful they were willing to take on our 2 challenging pups for a week. A big huge thank you to their sweet pup Patrick for putting up with our pups. Emma sent pics and updates regularly and kept them on a routine with plenty of walks and exercise. I was super nervous to leave them with someone new for so long but she put my mind at ease and was super supportive. We would not hesitate to have her watch our pups again.”
“Rachelle is amazing. Our furry girl was well loved and taken care of while we were out of town. We received pictures and updates while we were gone and a happy, non stressed pooch when we came home ❤️ couldn’t be happier.”
“Laura was super accommodating and kind. Galileo and I just moved to Fl from ct and I needed to head across country for a last minute work trip. Laura made me feel comfortable leaving Galileo in her care and provided updates on how well he was doing.”
“This was our first time using Rover, so we didn’t know what to expect from the sitter or Tony, but we were very happy with the experience and level of communication.”
“Amazing experience! Cynthia took our dog last minute as we were out of town on vacation and our grandmother passed away and so we had to fly out that next morning from Florida. She sent so many great updates. On short notice I went to her house and met her and she made me feel so comfortable leaving my baby with her for a few days! My dog felt right at home and wasn’t depressed. Cynthia is a true dog lover and will let your dog make themselves right at home and not have them locked up in a kennel! Would definitely use her again! Thank you!”
“Sherrie is so great with our little 4 legged family member. He never has anxiety when we leave like in the past when we used a boarding facility. We get daily updates with photos from Sherrie which my daughter loves. We love Sherrie and Bandit gives her 5 PAWS!”
“Chrissy and her family took amazing care of our two pups. Derby had a rash and she tried coconut 🥥 oil on his hot spot which provided relief plus his hair starting growing back. Odie was happy in all the photos and we knew they were both in excellent care while we were on vacation out of the country. 🙏😎🫶”
“Jessica was great with our puppy! She continued to send pictures during the whole stay and my puppy seemed very happy the whole time! She took her to the dog park and the beach so we were very happy with how active she was with our pup! We will definitely be using Jessica again”
“Susan was AMAZING! She took great care of our pup, Nala. She sent tons of updates and photos while we were gone and made sure Nala had all the attention and affection she needed! Susan is a great choice for your next trip out of town! She'll give your dog all the love. She even sent Nala home with some homemade dog treats! ❤️”

Truly amazing pet sitter! I felt very comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands and having fun 🩷 I will definitely be rebooking in the future! Very kind and understanding when I needed to adjust my pickup time, and very welcoming to my sweet baby too 🩷🩷 I hate leaving him but I love that he got to play with their dogs, get lots of snuggles, and run around in the backyard! 🐾
Sweet Ashley and her husband took great care of my 5 yr old Rat Terrier, Petey! They have a lovely home with a big grassy back yard not too far from us. And they have an 8 yo Daschund named Tank, who is very loveable and makes friends easily. They went on walks, played fetch, and he even slept in their bed! I don’t think Petey missed us one bit. He’s going back there next time we go out of town!
Brook kept my Lucy for 6 nights, I am very happy with her service. She sent multiple pictures of Lucy during her time there ensuring she was having a good time.This was the first time ever using a pet sitting service as I’ve always been skeptical of leaving her with strangers. I feel like Lucy fit right in with Brooks family and will definitely use her services again. Our vacation was so much more relaxed without the stress of traveling with a dog. Thanks Brook and family for taking such good care of Lucy
Abigail was amazing!! She was accommodating last minute and communicated with me about my dogs stay in a timely manner and sent lots of pics! My dog Rex had a great time playing with her dog, Maggie, and was happy and all tuckered out when he got home. 10/10 recommend!!
