“Maya is great with the dog. She takes a good care of my dog Maddie. She sent pictures every day to keep us up to date. I would definitely send my dog to her next time when we need and certainly recommend her to everyone who needs a dog care.”
“I had peace of mind and my dogs had a great time. They got lots of time outside in a large fenced in yard so they could play and explore in safety. They went on long walks together and even made a new friend. We will definitely be reaching out again when the need arises.????”
“Amanda did such a great job with Cash! She was very informative and gave many updates throughout the trip. I would 100% book again! Your dog will be safe in her hands!”
“Wendy was absolutely phenomenal. She took great care of our dog, sent us plenty of updates and pictures, and went above and beyond to absolutely spoil our pup. We will 100% be boarding Phoebe with her again.”
“Janine was awesome!! Maddie seemed very comfortable with her. She loved the deck and fenced-in backyard, especially after she learned to do the steps on her own (we have no steps) on Day 2. We appreciated the daily photos and videos. We could see she was enjoying herself and felt loved. I was afraid she wouldn’t want to come home (LOL)! We will definitely use Janine again!!”
“Our first trip away from Bean for more than a night, and Melissa took such great care of our girl. Regular check-ins, pictures and communication so we could feel comfortable that all was fine and we could enjoy our vacation. She's the best!”
“Heather did an excellent job. She is reliable and my dog is very shy and fearful at times but he fit in well with her dogs and I was at peace when I was gone knowing she was taking care of him. I will definitely work with her again! She is a kind and loving person.”
“Savannah was awesome! She kept me up to date with both pictures and videos. My husband and I both commented on how nice it was to take Sylvie to Savannah's home, compared to a boarding kennel. She got a lot more love, attention and care and came home smelling great too!”
“Cassie was great from start to finish! We were leaving on a family vacation for a week and our normal sitter had to cancel last minute. Cassie took our pup in with almost no notice and treated her like a queen! Truly seem like an amazing family, very caring and amazing with animals! Thank you all for taking such good care of our Purdy!”
“Gail provides excellent dog sitting service with so much care for your dog. She knows a lot about dogs, keeps you updated daily with the pictures she sends and walks your dog. I highly recommend her and I would use her service in the future if I need someone taking care of my dog.”
“Jeremy watched our Bear dog for a couple nights and took great care of him. They played, took walks and he even kept Bear happy and busy during a rainy day. Jeremy sent us pictures and videos and was great with communication. He seemed to genuinely care for our pup and our pup was happy hanging out with him. We would definitely book Jeremy again!!”
“Laurie was super quick to respond to all of my messages and my dog had a great time there!”
“While Olivia was very glad to be home, I know that she was well taken care of while I was gone. Doug followed the feeding instructions that I gave him and I hear that she had plenty of walking. I hope he is available for future occasions when I am gone. I have already tipped him on pick-up.”
“Meredith is so sweet and caring to our ‘puppy’! She made sure to keep us updated the entire time Ruby was in her care. We greatly appreciated the amount of communication!”
“Kayla did a great job of taking care of my dog Baxter! We were gone for just over a week on vacation out of the country. She sent pictures every day and he looked so happy! There was a minor hiccup in the beginning with my dog being territorial but she handled it so well! I will definitely be booking her again!”
“James did a fantastic job taking care of my dog for a week, soon after I moved to Fort Myers. His house and yard are very clean and spacious, and he has a friendly dog (Myles) who was great company. James, himself, is clearly a devoted dog person himself, and is also clearly motivated to do a great job as a dog-sitter. It was obvious, throughout my dog's stay, that James cared about her and keeping her feeling comfortable. As for my level of comfort, he texted me regularly while I was away, often including photos of my dog. And he responded immediately when I texted or called for information. Finally, I could tell that my dog was very comfortable at James' and Myles' house, from the meet-and-greet to the pick-up. I can't recommend James highly enough.”
“Rikki and her family are amazing!! Our dog was clearly well cared for over his 2 week stay, and Rikki communicated constantly with us for pictures and updates to help us feel at ease. Highly recommend!”
“Suzanne went above and beyond caring for our 2 labs over the weekend. One of our pups had some behavioral issues but Suzanne handled it perfectly and kept us updated with photos and continued feedback! I highly recommend her if you want a conscientious pet sitter! Five stars ⭐️!!!!”
“Absolutely recommend! They took care of my IZZY and gave her lots of love and attention. I also received updates on my girl with pictures. They are great sitters will definitely use again.”
“Sasha did an amazing job watching my dog, Nyx! Not only was Nyx well cared for, but she also came back nicely brushed and looking great. Sasha’s animals got along perfectly with Nyx, and it was clear they had a blast playing together. I really appreciated the attention and care Sasha gave—Nyx came home happy, tired, and clearly loved. Highly recommend Sasha for anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter!”
