“Katya was wonderful! Our dog is very energetic and this was our first time leaving him for a week-long trip. Katya kept us updated everyday with pictures and videos and made the stay completely stress free. We would absolutely book with her again!”
“Rachel and her family were great for boarding for our first trip away from our pup. I got photo updates and he was happy and content when we got him back. Will definitely use her again!”
“Blanca put both Pepper and me at ease immediately. Not only is she knowledgeable, but was friendly, accommodating and responsive. I feel so glad to know my pup was well loved while I was away!”
“Just WOW!! Would leave my pups with them any day!. So kind and loving. Even took care of my 6 month old which I know can be a lot of work. Kept me updated while out of the country. Would highly recommend!!!!”
“Christopher was very easy to communicate with and sent photos of my dogs throughout the week. He let me know when one of them didn’t seem to be eating normally and he was confident in handling it. My dogs came back happy and without issues.”
“Winnie had a blast! Lindsey had great communication and sent pictures daily! Winnie came home worn out from all the playing she did for the week.”
“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.”
“Receiving daily updates and photos made me feel so at ease and truly showed how well my sweet boy was being cared for. It meant so much to see him happy and comfortable. So grateful for the love and attention he received and would absolutely trust them again!”
“Ms. Cindee was amazing and patient with our anxious pup. It was a peace of mind to know our girl was safe and being cared for with a large backyard and lots of pets and cuddles! Thank you!!!”
“My chihuahua and I haven't been a part in forever. When my family and I went on a one week trip, I knew I had to find the perfect dog sitter. My dog is picky and I was worried, but she was immediately comfortable at crystals house. She is so kind and attentive, and became best friends with my chihuahua. She was comfortable around everyone in the household and very well taken care of. Will certainly be using her services in the future and am beyond thankful for her and her family. Thank you SO much”
“Absolutely amazing pet sitting experience! My pets were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for while I was away. Communication was excellent with regular updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind. Reliable, professional, and genuinely caring — I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy pet care. I’ll definitely be booking again.”
“Kendra was amazing and I had great peace of mind knowing my dog was in wonderful hands. Communication was stellar: I got updates and multiple photos every day, and it was awesome to hear of his adventures while I was out of town. I recommend Kendra to anyone looking for a thoughtful, caring pet sitter and I for sure be back as a returning client.”
“Meredith had a great stay with Sherrie and her husband! She came back happy and tired (which is a good thing and means they got out her energy). Sherrie sent photos and was very understanding when our evening flight got delayed.”
“Joshua went above and beyond while watching our French bulldog. He kept us updated throughout the stay and made sure everything was taken care of. We will definitely be coming back! Thanks Josh!”
“Emma did an amazing job with my baby, Audemar! She sent detailed updates every day, which kept me completely in the loop and at ease. From our meet & greet, I could already tell that Emma and her husband would be great caretakers. I dropped Audemar off without a single worry, and he had such a great time with their dog too. Thank you again! I will definitely be booking with you in the future!”
“I told Christine that I had an issue with Benny marking and she had a solution. She is regimented and very thoughtful. Benny also received a grooming from Christine because she happens to also be a 12 year veteran groomer! In addition to his training while he was at Christine’s home he came back clean and happy! She sent photos that reminded me of homeward bound when Benny went in the yard with the other dog friends. Christine is a compassionate woman and has a loving and safe home for the pups. 1000% rebooking.”
About: I’ve taken care of my personal dogs as well as family dogs for years. I love to play with them and just sit and cuddle with them as well. I am currently a graduate student at Jacksonville University. I am available after 2pm everyday, and on the weekends I can do all day! I am also usually up pretty late at nights so can do late night walks/sitting as well. I am a very trustworthy person. On walks I will make sure they don’t get into anything that may be harmful and always be prepared when in contact with other people/animals.
“Left our 2 kitties with Christian and they were very well taken care of! She sent plenty of updates and pictures, and treated them like her own. Would definitely recommend her for your cat sitting needs!”
“Layda is the best! Thank you so much for taking such great of my baby. It gives me great peace of mind when I have to leave her that she's in such good hands.”

Rachelle is awesome. She sent us pictures and my dogs looked comfortable staying with her. When we picked them up, they both looked happy and looked familiar with Rachelle so I think they were comfortable staying with her and liked her. They didn't forget letting Rachelle know they appreciated her by going back to her and let her pet them one more time before we left.
Hannah was absolutely incredible caring for our dog, Rogan, for nearly four weeks. Rogan was treated like part of the family, and it was clear he felt right at home. She sent multiple pictures almost every day. What really stood out was how thoughtful and caring Hannah is—when it was raining and outdoor play was limited, she even went out and bought Rogan a toy to keep him entertained. That is above and beyond! We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and we’re so grateful. We would trust her again without hesitation and recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pet.
Another amazing stay with Sherrie and her family :) my baby loves staying with her and I love that I don’t have to worry about him! You can truly tell she loves animals and treats her guests like they are her own! 🥰🩷 if you are looking for the right sitter, book here!!!!
We can't say enough good things about Brent and David. This was the first time our two, 8 1/2 year old Boxers have been away from us for 8 days. We had left them a day or two with our daughter in the past and through that experience, we discovered they don't eat for a day or two over separation anxiety and basically mope. Not the case here! These pups didn't miss a beat! Healthy appetite every day, plenty of exercise with walks and outdoor playtime, sofa lounging, treats, love, pets, full - hands-on attention and just happy. Our guilt and worry disappeared pretty rapidly after seeing the daily photos and video we received. We could not have dreamed or asked for better care of our fur babies. We can now take trips without concern and will always use Brent and David! Our dogs were loved. Highly recommend, A+, Five Star #happyfurbabies #BrentandDavid #Rover
Michael did an amazing job boarding my dog for the week. He kept me updated, made sure my dog was well cared for, and treated her like family. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in great hands. Highly recommend Michael to anyone needing reliable and caring pet boarding!
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!
