“Nancy is an excellent dog sitter. She takes such great care of our pup, Koah. Her home is relaxing and quiet and he gets all the snuggles he could ever ask for when he's with Nancy.”

“Laurie was amazing! She communicated well, set up a meet & greet on very short notice, and made our pup feel right at home. She was super understanding of all his quirks and did a great job sticking to his routine. I will definitely be using her again soon!”

“Jewel was so kind and detailed taking all the info I had for Luna since she is Diabetic and on special diet. Has a fenced in yard and walks the dogs. She brought out her two precious little princesses to meet Luna and they were so adorable. Her detailed text with pics of Luna’s daily events made my day. Thank you so much Jewel. I can see Luna was super relaxed since picking her up and her usual cry whining just didn't happen. It usually takes her three days to get chill again when I leave her. Thank you and your pups for her great stay away from home. 💖 You were the perfect pick for Luna.”

“Jennifer is lovely and a very caring person for my two young Havanese. She sent us pictures throughout the day. We felt confident leaving them with her. We had a video chat first and met her in person when dropping the dogs off. She showed us around where they would be playing and introduced us to her young daughter. She and the dogs seemed to hit it off.”

“This was our first time using Rover, we have four fur babies , 2 cats and 2 dogs. Robyn and her family were amazing! Kept in contact with photos and updates on the babies. We hope to have Robyn and her family watch our babies again. 🙏🏽”

“Jessica was a fantastic sitter and everything I could have asked for, for my elderly special needs dog! Her kind demeanor and vast experience in the veterinary industry gave me complete confidence in leaving Sadie with her. She has a beautiful and clean home, and sent me many updates and photos. Thank you Jessica!”

“Tara and Justin are AMAZING!!!! We recently moved to Sarasota and were worried we wouldn't find anyone to care for our dogs since we don't know anyone in the area. I went on over and found Tara and Justin. They first watched our 2 doodles for an overnight (at my request) to make sure they were a good fit. Everything went great, so we booked them again for a week while we were out of town and they truly treated them as if they were part of their family! They sent us numerous photos (sometimes multiple times a day) of them playing, cuddling on the couch and playing with their 5 yr old son. Tara is super responsive and accommodating as well with pick ups and drop offs. I couldn't have asked for a better home and family to leave my pups with. We have already re-booked for next weekend and will continue to use Tara and Justin! If I could give them 10 starts I would!”

“Mila had a great stay! They gave her lots of loving and sent pictures through out her stay! Whenever we go out of town again I know Mila will be in good hands:)”

“Audrey and Karson were awesome! They took such great care of our pup while we were away and made sure to send pictures and updates. We would be more than happy to have Boomer stay with them again!!”

“Callie was great four our two dogs. She has a great set-up for dogs that like the outside. She also has two dogs and the four of them seemed to enjoy each other. We highly recommend Callie and hope to regularly call on her in the future.”
“5 stars is not enough for Georgianna, she helped us a lot. We had some changes in our flight talked to her to make some arrangements in short notice and was not problem at all. My dog looked so happy while spending time with her. Once again Thank you much for all your help and I definitely recommend her 1000%”

“Amanda and her kids did a great job watching our dog, Hans, and treated him like a part of their family. He loved cuddling with her daughter and husband. We plan on using them again soon.”

“Katerina was fantastic; she was always responsive, professional and accommodating. Her son was also very lovely and took great care to make sure Finn was happy and well taken care of. I would definitely recommend Katerina, and I look forward to booking her again in the future!”
“I am so grateful for Elisa and the amazing care she gave our dog! She’s reliable, kind, and clearly love animals. Our pup was happy, safe, and well-loved. We’d definitely trust them again and highly recommend their services!”

“Misty take care of Roxie & Skye and spoiled them with cudled. She periodically sent mea pictures of them while I was way for a weekend. I am certainly will have Misty to take care my pups again.”

“Tara is AMAZING! Our pup boarded with her full time for a week while we were out of town. Professional, caring, reliable, and communicative, just to name a few of her wonderful care giving qualities. Lots of pictures and communication every day. Even on short notice and on top of that our pup started going into a heat cycle while in her care. Tara kept us updated and made sure our pup was safe, loved, and cared for. Could not be happier with this experience and I highly recommend Tara!”


About: I have taken care of animals my whole life, and have cared for 4 dogs in my home until. I love dogs, the outdoors, and being active, so dog walking is super fun for me! I have experience with high-energy dogs as well as slower senior pups. I work part-time and have a very flexible schedule, so I have plenty of free time for your pets! I’m currently available all day (including early mornings) until evening, Monday-Saturday for walks or check-in visits. I currently have Bo, a senior pitbull, who is super chill and has no problems with other dogs. I also recently got a Belgian Malinois puppy named Darth Vader! Mercury, my brother’s 6 year old Australian Cattle dog, loves to play and I take care of him on occasion. We have a large patio and pool that dogs can enjoy laying in the sun or swimming! I also have a super walk able neighborhood, with a walking trail that is off the pavement. Additionally, I do enjoy taking dogs in the car for walks in new locations or trips to the dog beach/park!
“Nicholas was awesome with Zeus. For the 2-1/2 weeks we were gone he kept us infor.ed and sent pictures frequently. I realized the day after we left that I had missed Zeus' heart worm protection and Nicholas went out of his way to pick up a dose at my vet. We highly recommend Nicholas and will absolutely use his services again”

“I recently had Naveah dog sit for me, and it was my first time ever leaving my dog with someone. She sent plenty of videos and photos, and I felt completely at ease. Little Holly was basically on vacation—out on adventure walks every day and clearly having the time of her life. I went into it worried, but by the end of the first day I knew she was in great hands. Holly was genuinely well cared for, and it showed. I highly recommend Naveah!”

We had a wonderful experience with Amy! She provided daily photos and frequent updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Her communication was excellent, and it was clear she treated our dog as if she were her own. We couldn’t have asked for better care and would highly recommend her!

We are so glad we found Neha to take care of our little chihuahua mix when we’re gone! Neha watched her for more than a week, and we were always comfortable and confident that she was in competent, caring hands. Neha communicated regularly, with photos to keep us informed. We recommend Neha highly!

Kathrin was kind, professional, and very responsive. Her home is clean and in a nice neighborhood and our little Minnie seemed to have had a great time with her family. Kathrin took Minnie on walks and sent lots of photo updates. She takes very professional looking photos so that was an added bonus! Would highly recommend 👍🏽
