Great sitter! I’ve worked with Nikayla a few times now and she’s been great! I do not worry about the safety or well being of my pups when she’s taking care of them! I will continue to book with Nikayla! She’s great!

Natalie has watched our two cats numerous times in the past few years while we have been on vacation. We pick her because we know she loves animals and besides being regular and doing the job well including making sure everything is clean and picked up before we return home she loves the animals. She takes time to get down on the floor or wherever they are and pet them and spend time with them. She is always responsible and goes above and beyond in her pet sitting. I highly recommend her.

I hired Rachelle to house sit with my Corgi for Labor Day weekend. She kept me updated throughout the weekend and sent lots of pictures. I would love to use her again in the future!

Alex was great. First time using her and everything was great and the dogs liked her! She took them out for walks, potty breaks, and was great to them. She stayed over at our house and everything was perfect. I would use her again!

Savannah has watched my 10-year old flat-coated retriever while I’ve been away for business trips or just running late after work. She is attuned to an animals needs and specific care, if needed. She is there for a walk, feeding, and extra love! And shedding has never bothered her… which I’ve always appreciated. She’s a trusted person I will always feel safe asking to care for my girl!

ALberto and I first met when I worked in the kennels at SPCA Florida. I found him to be extremely professional and kind to all people and animals that came across his path. It amazed me that he took time to volunteer while working a full-time job and having a family to take care of. His passion for improving the lives of the dogs in our kennels was his motivation. It is now 6 years later and ALberto still volunteers for us. As the Volunteer/Outreach/Off sites Manager, I continue to see his dedication as he is now an Off SIte Adoption Counselor and does events 2 times every month. Other volunteers ask to train with him and love being part of his team as he brings dogs to local stores to get them adopted. When I need a pet sitter, Alberto will be the one that I call!

We have known Janet, and she has been taking care of our dogs & cats, for at least 12 years. Janet is the best! She’s great at keeping in touch with you if you are out of town, so you can have peace of mind knowing that your pets are doing fine. Janet will also go above and beyond to take of your pets in whatever they might need while you are away. She is very responsible, trustworthy, and dedicated to caring for your animals. And… all the animals just love her! It’s definitely a win-win situation.

Abby was my favorite pet sitter. My Sangria pup adored her! She was responsible and always left my home in great condition. I trusted her to give my baby medications and she reported her dietary intake and walks. If she hadn't moved away I'd still use her!

Alison was great! It was our first time leaving our golden, and his first time spending even a night without his mom or dad. I work from home 99% of the time and he’s a true Velcro dog, following me everywhere. So I was very worried about how he’d do without me, and vice versa. Alison was great with him and made time to come for a few walks in the weeks before we left so she and Santo could get to know each other a bit. After we left she checked in with us and sent us photos and updates about our baby, which helped me worry less about whether he was feeling sad or abandoned. She was respectful of our home and even asked before signing into a streaming account we don’t have. And when we got stuck in nightmare traffic on I-4 on the way home from the airport, she stayed past the time booked for our stay so Santo wasn’t alone.

April watched our gaggle of pups when we had to unexpectedly go out of town. She did an amazing job with them, was responsive, and I felt at ease knowing she had a handle on our crew. We have a puppy and an older guy needing medical care and she handled both so well. I would definitely recommend April!

I have a bull terrier mix and an Airedale, and corgi. They have such Distinct personalities that it’s hard to manage them all. She took care of them for a week while I had to travel for work and she absolutely was amazing. Amazing communication from Madison and my dogs were happy and vibrant through photos and when I got home. I’ve used Madison since then. I highly recommend.

About: Your pup or cat will have the best care under me they will have lots of cuddles, walks, kisses, play time and runs! I am experienced with small dogs from a tea cup chihuahua to a large breed dog like a great dane. If your pet is taking medication I will be attentive to their care and make sure they are treating like my own. I will always make sure to text or call with daily updates. If there’s anything specific such as certain amounts of walks a day, being groomed, or if they need to go to the dog park etc... I don’t mind doing those things. I can’t wait for you to book me today I can’t wait to meet your sweet angel! :)
