If we could leave 10 stars we would! Shawnee is amazing! Our babies loved her, and she took such great care of not only our babies but our home as well. We had some unexpected appliance issues arise while we were away, Shawnee was great about communicating with us and letting us know not only what was going on, but stepping in and making sure that everything was taken care of as if it was her home. She reached out every day and let is know how our pups were doing, and took amazing pictures, and sent us multiple pictures every day. We cannot express our gratitude for everything that Shawnee did for us, and how well she cared for our babies, they were so happy and well cared for. Of course it's never easy to leave your pets when you go away, but moving forward when we travel and can't take our pups with us, we will be reaching out to Shawnee to come back and take care of them, we know that we have nothing to worry about when Shawnee is caring for our pups and our home. Thank you Shawnee you are AMAZING!!!!

From day one Christian was professional and willing to work with our not so friendly boy. We got hourly updates with pictures on our animals. One of our animals got sick while we were away and Christian was great with extra cuddles and provided what was needed. We had no worries or hesitations about our kitties and dogs while we were away.

Mikayla did a fabulous job sitting for my fur babies! She sent pics and updates often and kept me at ease during my trip. This was the first time I had ever left my dogs with anyone other than family so I was very nervous. But she assured me they were having a good time and we're safe. I would definitely book her again!

I was referred to Vanessa by a close friend of mine who told me she watched her 3 cats and small dog named bunny, while her family went on vacation. So I booked her and let’s just say she’s my forever dog caregiver my boy Toby French bulldog loves her every time he’s around her he’s a happy boy. She got him from being lazy on the couch to wanting to take small walks. So thanks again Vanessa your awesome!

She took such good care of my pups, she walked them, cuddled them, played with them, and gave them the best care. My dogs loved her and every time I say her name they run to the door. I will call her every time to take care of my babies!!! I would give her the highest rating plus plus plus!!!!!!

It is with great pleasure that we write this letter of recommendation for Shannon Kulakoski. She has provided exceptional dog walking and pet sitting services for our elderly dog over the past three years, and we could not be more grateful for her dedication, compassion, and professionalism. From the very beginning, Shannon proved to be incredibly responsible and trustworthy. She was always timely, communicative, and consistently went above and beyond in her care. Every visit came with picture updates and thoughtful notes, which gave us peace of mind knowing that our senior Yorkshire Terrier was in loving, capable hands. Our dog has specific needs due to age and health conditions, and Shannon has always been attentive, gentle, and accommodating. We would not trust anyone else with our dog and feel so fortunate to have found someone so dependable and kind. One particularly remarkable example of her intuition and dedication occurred when she noticed that a neighbor's dog was exhibiting unusual behavior. Her quick thinking and instincts led her to alert the owners, who were then able to seek immediate veterinary care. The vet confirmed that her timely actions literally saved the dog’s life. Shannon is not only a responsible and loving caregiver, but also someone who genuinely understands animals and takes her role very seriously. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of pet care services and are confident that she will exceed your expectations as she has ours. Sincerely, Rosalie, Eric, and Melissa

We recently had Niko take care of our three dogs while we were on vacation, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we returned, it was clear that our dogs had been well cared for—they were happy, healthy, and full of energy. Niko did an excellent job ensuring our pets were comfortable and content during our absence. Not only were the dogs in great spirits, but our home was also in perfect condition, just as we left it. It was so reassuring to come back to a clean, tidy house. If you’re looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter, I highly recommend Niko. We will definitely be reaching out to him again for any future needs!

About: I’m an animal lover who enjoys playing and cuddling with fur babies. I’m open to meeting the individual and unique needs of every animal I care for. I enjoy creating my own schedule and prioritize care into my routine to soothe, comfort, entertain and provide basic needs for every animal in my care. My availability are weekends and afternoons. Routine schedules for feeding, potty and play time are ideal so I and the animals know what’s coming, if you have a routine set I will gladly flow with what’s already in place.

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!

Ashley was amazing! 😍 She was extremely patient with my dog that has anxiety issues. She took time to let him get comfortable with her. In addition to that, she was very thoughtful, and has sent messages throughout the whole process, from her ETA to all of the dog related updates. 🍀

Alison did an amazing job taking care of our two huskies while we were enjoying the theme parks in Orlando. She maintained constant communication with us, keeping us updated and even sending photos of our dogs, which gave us great peace of mind. She took them out for walks and spent plenty of time with them, ensuring they were happy and well cared for. Everything went smoothly without any issues. Honestly, we highly recommend Alison to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
