“Linda was very patient with Monty and she provided a loving space for our dogs to feel at home. Once he settled down he was attached to Linda's side. Linda sent several photos and it was nice to see our dogs and Linda’s dog all getting along and clearly feeling at home. Thank you for taking care of our dogs and the assurance that they were well cared for allowed us to truly enjoy our vacation.”
“Team Stephany did a wonderful job boarding Penny! Good feedback daily and I could tell Penny was having a wonderful time with Minnie. Would highly recommend and will hopefully use their services in the future. Thank you!”
“Very responsive with booking, even with the short notice that we had. She sent multiple videos and pictures of Sophie throughout her stay. We felt extremely comfortable leaving her for the weekend and will definitely use Debbie again!”
“Kendal is an amazing dogsitter. It’s always a little nerve wrecking to board your animals but she was always quick to respond to any text messages and provided plenty of pictures. I highly recommend her to any dog parent. You can tell she has a genuine love and compassion towards our four legged fur babies. Thank you so much Kendal! 😊”
“I highly recommend Yohanna and Mark. They truly love dogs, and the pictures they sent realty showed my dog as a member of their family. I liked that they only watch one pet at a time, so i knew mine was well cared for.”
“Cheri is so caring and knowledgeable about animals, dogs in particular! So thankful that we found her to care for our 4-legged baby. Our pup had a great time with Cheri, and we received photos of their time together. Cheri was flexible and super responsive; our dog came home clean and happy; and we highly recommend Cheri!”
“James was awesome. He took in our Ellie and treated her as his own!! We relaxed and enjoyed our visit at the beach knowing Ellie was with James and very well taken care of. Lisa E.”
“This was my second time leaving Yogi with Asya. She communicated well, sends awesome photos, and it looks like Yogi has a great time! I will continue to ask them to take care of Yogi when I'm away.”
About: Hi, my name is Kelly, and I have taken care of numerous animal species ranging from canines to reptiles. 🐶 I am excellent at training puppies, and I am experienced with special needs animals (my family dog was diabetic). I have a small fenced yard, and a large lanai area for the dogs to sunbathe in. ☀️ With your permission, they can swim in our pool!! The dogs love cooling down on our tile floors after a nice walk. My house is roughly 2,000sq ft and we sometimes section it off with a gate to provide my cat a secured, calm area. My partner works from home, so somebody will always be around to give your fur baby attention. 😁 A little about me- I love animals, nature and traveling. 🌴 ✈️ I have a bachelors degree, and I am currently a high school history teacher. 🍎 I have two adventure dogs, and one cat (acclimated to canines). McKenna also holds a bachelors degree. She grew up with dogs. She loves to go on long walks with the pups, and cooking is her favorite hobby. If you prefer somebody to stay at your house, I can ensure you my dogs and cat will not be present. Thank you for the opportunity to earn your business and trust. I look forward to meeting your babies! ☺️ Please feel free to message me with any questions or concerns. I respond quickly. I will make sure to walk your baby in the morning and in the evening. McKenna works from home, so your dogs will never be unsupervised! I have a small fenced in yard and a large lanai. The dogs love to sunbathe in the lanai and swim in the pool. We have a large home that can be sectioned off. This works great if your baby is shy! If I stay at your home, I can ensure you we will go on lots of walks.
“Tina is the best! We know that our little guy is totally taken care of, which enables us to really enjoy our time away. We will always ask Tina first for boarding Thor in the future.”
About: I have been around dogs all of my life. I recently lost my last fur baby and am not ready to replace her. I work full time, and need encouragement to get outside and exercise without the pleading eyes of my own dog. I will happily walk your dog and make sure they are safe, well and happy. I work full time, but am available for early morning, evening and weekend walks and care. I am available early morning (before 7.00) and evenings (after 6), and weekends. I am also available on most major holidays for walking or visiting. I am a responsible person. I will make sure your animals are safe, happy and not alone. I will leave your home neat and secure.
“Crysta is incredible. Disco didn't even want to come home! She updated me constantly with the cutest photos of my pup getting tons and tons of love. She even stopped by to pick up his food and meds because I forgot them. Can't say enough good things!!! HIGHLY recommend her!!!”
“Leslie is absolutely incredible. We are empty nesters, who are completely obsessed with our "Covid" dog. We had so much trepidation leaving him...that is until we met Leslie. She is so professional, reassuring, knowledgable, and outright just LOVES dogs, and treats those under her capable care as if they were her own. I had the privledge of meeting her husband who is an added bonus! Leslie sent constant updates, with the most adorable photos - it brought such to us and alleviated any and all anxiety we had. We can not reccomend her enough. THANK YOU Leslie!!!”
