1. Katya G.

“Offered time for my pups to explore and reviewed special instructions for my senior dogs with me before I left. Loved the daily updates and photos!! Appreciate you taking care of my girls, Katya!”


2. Clarissa L.

“We appreciate you watch our pup while we were out of town. She came back worn out so I know she had a great time playing!”


3. Sylvia H.

“Stanley loved Sylvia! He was shy when we met her for the introductory meeting beforehand, but at least he wasn’t barking, which is usually the case. He was sad when I left him the day I dropped him off, but not upset. Sylvia sent me so many photos and updates! He slowly made his way to getting closer to her, and now he has a second mom. I wasn’t sure he’d come home with me :P Thank you for taking such good care of my baby, Sylvia!”


4. Tyler H.

“She was awesome 😀😀 Kept me up to date with info and pics of them. She was great and would def use again and again. She also took them in with a late notice too, she was the best 😀”


5. Rachel M.

“I can't accurately express how much of a relief it is knowing that Freyja is with Rachel and her family (human and furry) when I have to go out of town. She gets all the activity and attention she needs, which is quite alot. Rachel is the very first person I contact when I know I'll be unable to watch Freyja, she should be yours as well.”


6. Janet & Saar Z.

“Our dog Riley is pretty shy/timid initially so we weren’t sure how she’d do, but from all of the pictures and updates from Janet and Saar throughout the weekend it was clear that she had a great time, settled in quickly, and loved running around the big backyard and playing inside and out with all of her new friends. Janet and Saar are very kind and responsive and clearly took great care of Riley while she was with them”


7. Laura C.

“I recently had Laura watch my 100 lb Goldendoodle, Bogey, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the moment I picked him up, it was clear he had an amazing time—he didn’t even want to leave! Laura was fantastic about keeping me updated with daily pictures and videos, which really put my mind at ease. You could see in every photo that Bogey was happy, relaxed, and having a blast. Laura clearly knows how to make dogs feel loved and cared for. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter!”


8. Lindsey & Jose H.

“Unfortunately i can only rate out of 5 stars. If i could rate them out of 100 or 1000 then i would. Great family and perfect sitters. Would use them again in the future if the need ever arises. Took cute pics of my dogs with their pup and updated us on everything. My big pit mix baby loved them so much he even slept with their oldest at night. 1000/1000 thank you!”


9. Shera M.
“Shera absolutely spoiled my dog Ollie during his stay with her. You can truly tell she cares about the pets she sits, and really appreciate her asking questions to ensure mine and Ollies comfort levels throughout the weekend. I highly recommend her and Ollie can’t wait to have another reason to have her as a sitter!”


10. Em Z.

“Thank you so much, you all were so great with our pups and they loved it so much! We appreciate it all 10/10 we recommend and we will be back .!”




11. Jamie C.


“This was the first time our baby had been away from us overnight and we were a bit nervous. Jamie was awesome and Kleo had so much fun at her first sleepover. Thank you Jamie for taking such excellent care of her. We now know we can leave her with you anytime and not have to worry. Kleo will be back💕”




12. Stacey S.


“Stacy is always our go-to when we need a sitter for Scout! She keeps us updated throughout his stay and sends great pictures and videos of our pup. You can tell she really cares for the dogs in her care. Highly highly recommend!!”


13. Brandon B.

“Brandon was incredibly friendly from start to finish. He genuinely loves animals and his warm demeanor made both me and my pet feel instantly at ease. Brandon ensured compatibility offered a meet and greet to ensure it was a good fit with another dog to meet everyone's needs. Communication was top of mind as I received updates and photos which increased my level of comfort.”


14. Rosangela T.

“She was absolutely amazing with my 2 boys. She treat them like her own. Got daily updates and pictures of them all the time. Felt so at ease and who 100% rebook when I need to”


15. Jiaqi L.

“Jaiqi was really great with my little guy. Jaiqi communicated very well and sent pictures. My little guy came home nice and tired like I like it! Will definitely work with her again. ?”


16. Cynthia G.

“If I could give 10 stars I would, Cynthia was amazing with our dog(Santana the Bulldog), he was well kept in her home, well feed, she is amazing lady as well, very sweet and absolutely followed all of our instructions that we left with her. Santana felt right at home with her, she provided many pictures and sent texts messages everyday to keep us informed, I would recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and compassionate person to watch their fur baby, I will definitely call on her again, this will be Santana’s second home.”


17. Maria Luiza F.

18. Abigail M.

“Abigail was amazing!! She was accommodating last minute and communicated with me about my dogs stay in a timely manner and sent lots of pics! My dog Rex had a great time playing with her dog, Maggie, and was happy and all tuckered out when he got home. 10/10 recommend!!”


19. Yanqiu & Eric C.

“Such a smooth and reassuring weekend booking with Yanqiu & Eric! I had a last minute trip pop up and they were incredibly accommodating arranging a meet and greet immediately and then taking Caddie in for the weekend. They provided me with plenty of updates throughout the trip and Caddie came backed pooped from having such a fun weekend.”


20. Natalie & Michael L.

“Natalie and Michael were amazing! We needed a last minute sitter because we were evacuating Hurricane Milton, and they really saved us! I got to see lots of pictures of my girl playing and enjoying her time. If we are ever back in Jacksonville (hopefully under better circumstances) we will 100% ask them to watch our girl again!”
