“Cannot praise her enough for how much above and beyond she went to take care of my dog while I was away for 3 days for the first time. I was anxious and worried but she kept me updated every 2-3 hours with photos and comments on how my fur baby was doing. At the end of the day she wrote me a summary of my dog's day! My dog got along very well with her dog Summer. She treated my dog with true love and even took him to the beach and also offered to give him a bath. She was cuddling with my baby and gave him lots of love. It was absolutely an incredible experience with her and I will look nowhere else for my dog's day care/boarding services. Thanks again!”
“We were traveling through Jacksonville and had a business dinner on the way. We needed a dog sitter on short notice and Katya stepped in to assist. We left the dog with her her for about 2.5 hours, received numerous pictures and updates. Great communication and affection for our dog. When we picked her up we were told they walked her for an hour since she was in the car all dayu. Great sitter, great communication! Thank you for helping us out!”
“She did an awesome job! Yekaterina was very accommodating toward our fur baby. She kept us updated with plenty of pictures, made a great suggestion to help our cat gt acclimated to an unfamiliar environment. Would definitely book again!”
“We are so happy to have found Viji! Our 12 year old doodle developed a skin infection a day before he went in for boarding, but Viji took such good care of him and made sure he got his medications on time. She also was in touch with us constantly, letting us know how he was doing, and sent us lots of pictures and videos. He looked very much at home - and pampered 😊. We will surely be using Viji’s services again!”
“Lindsey and Jose took amazing care of my fur baby! I ended up dropping her off with an upset stomach after dealing with it for a few days and Lindsey had no problem at all with it and was so kind and caring about it! If you need to leave your senior dog(s) with someone you can trust Lindsey is the woman! She is very flexible and provides daily updates! My doggo looked like she had a very fun time sunbathing in the fenced yard and napping on the couch with them. She even had her own little spot in her daughter’s bedroom! I highly recommend Lindsey and would gladly use her as my sitter again in the future!”
“Emma and Adam were amazing and we are so grateful they were willing to take on our 2 challenging pups for a week. A big huge thank you to their sweet pup Patrick for putting up with our pups. Emma sent pics and updates regularly and kept them on a routine with plenty of walks and exercise. I was super nervous to leave them with someone new for so long but she put my mind at ease and was super supportive. We would not hesitate to have her watch our pups again.”
