Briana was great with Dante. Very patient and understanding with him. She was very responsive to questions and communication overall and shared cute pictures of our fur baby during our time away. Dante seemed to be very comfortable with her.

Jennifer is the best!!!! My cats were treated so well that I didn't see any difference in their behavior after our extended departure. They were relaxed when we arrived and I could see right away that they really liked the care Jennifer gave them. Jennifer was very helpful and available. She helped us out when our trip out of the country was extended by 2 weeks. I had peace of mind knowing my cats were in good hands. Everything was clean when I arrived and my cats had missed us, but I could see that they were relaxed and well fed. seraphin, my most shy cat, was super comfortable with her, and that's a great proof of the quality of the bond Jennifer knows how to build with animals. Thank you :-)

April was amazing. Very professional. Took care of any changes we had immediately. Our Animal kingdom loved her, and she loved taking care of them. She was always on time for her drop-ins and she checked in and checked out perfectly. She let us know of any issues, a and took care of them immediately. Such a pleasure knowing that we could relax knowing our pets would be well cared for. We were able to concentrate on our family. We will most definitely book with her again.

To whome it may conern, Rachelle has watched our dogs for us on numerous occasions. She has watched them for days at a time when we have gone out of town, and she is also willing to go by the house and let them out, feed them and take them for a walk. We enjoy Rachelle. She is a pleasant young woman and has been very always been reliable and caring. We have never had any issues and certainly trust her with our precious fur babies. She is willing to facetime too and we really like that! I certainly reccomend her as a reliable dog sitter and our pups do too! God Bless

About: I have helped old dogs in the water, making sure they can swim, or at least tread water, while ensuring they stay afloat. I have taken care of dogs from year-old puppies, to old ones who need a little assistance getting up and down. I am always ready to go on a nice long walk, or just stay in and relax. I am available for boarding daily, with little notice necessary. I am at home full-time, and am ready and able to take care of your open whenever needed. I have a yard with no fence, and live on a lake with a dock. I do have 2 cats, but are very used to larger animals, and friendly with dogs. They can be restricted if necessary. I can easily crate your dog, if and when it is needed. I am also very good with cats, and have no issues if they get nervous or frightened.

Harper is always been a pet lover. She is very attentive and animals respond well to her. I have a very timid kitty and Harper coaxed the kitty out of hiding and was able to get her comfortable with physical affection. She has always just loved all pets.

Ashley was absolutely wonderful! She was great with our cats. She came every day at around the same time, fed and watered them, played with them and cleaned their box. She sent us adorable pictures that we looked forward to each day of our trip! I would leave my pets in her care again in a heartbeat! We really appreciated the care she took to communicate with me while we were gone.

Natalie has cared for our two cats on the many occasions we have been out of town. Not only is she responsible, diligent, and communicative, but she is so affectionate and loving towards them, as if they were her own. She is all around a wonderful, kind person and I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone who can give their pets the love and attention they deserve.

About: I have always been an animal lover and I’ve had dogs and other animals almost my entire life. I’ve personally had and cared for dogs of all sizes from a tiny teacup poodle (6lbs) to a huge labradane (125lbs) as well as all ages of dogs newborn-16 yo! I’m currently a student at Florida Southern College, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I am also an Army ROTC cadet at Florida Southern, so walking my dogs and yours is a great way for me to stay active! Safety is always my #1 priority, I will always lookout for the wellbeing of your dog based on their specific needs. Each dog is unique and has their own routine which is important for me to follow to the best of my ability.

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! :)

I have known Jon Burkhart since the day he was born. He is my grandson. It's difficult not to sound over enthusiastic because of our relationship. Jon is a bright, warm, and caring young man who consistently displays the qualities necessary for being an excellent pet caregiver. He has two dogs of his own and is completely involved in their care from exercising them to fulfilling their health care needs. Jon would be the perfect person to fulfill the responsibilities of a pet care service provider.
