1. Lindsay S.
“Lindsay was very professional and was very good at looking after our kitties while we were gone. She provided regular photos and written updates and got our kitties to trust and spend time with her in a short amount of time. I would highly recommend her without any reservations. She also alerted us when a tree fell in our yard. She is the best!”
2. Kaytee R.
“Kaytee did an amazing job! I told her that my cats would stay under the bed for days, but Scamp was out and getting pets on her first visit. She sent videos and updates and I never worried about my guys. Thanks so much Kaytee!”
3. Dawn M.
“We are super thankful to have Dawn to spend some time with jag and take care of him while we were away for a week. She’s very nice and responsive in letting us know that jag was taken care of. We would certainly have her back if we go away again.”
4. Daniela A.
“I had the pleasure of having Danny took care of my cats recently, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. When I returned, it was clear that my cats had been in the best hands. They were completely relaxed and content, a true testament to the care and affection Danny provided. Not only did she take care of my babies, but she also took impeccable care of my plants. Everything was thriving upon my return, which speaks volumes about her dedication and thoroughness. If you’re looking for a reliable, compassionate, sweet, and highly skilled pet sitter, I wholeheartedly recommend Danny. She exceeded all my expectations and speaks Spanish too!! what else do you ask for?”

“Ashley dropped in on my pups while we took a day trip to Key West. They are typically very anxious when we return home after an extended period, but they were very content. She provided excellent communication and photos. Will definitely use her again when we are in Marathon.”
8. Michael V.
“Michael is extremely professional and has exceptional dog care skills. He is trustworthy and punctual. Drug and smoke free. Michael is a great dog daddy and has advanced skills if an emergency would present itself. I have personally witnessed Michael caring for his pups as well as my dogs. He treats his pack like family and would lovingly care for your pups the same way. Lisa O.”
9. Nicole B.
“Nicole did a Great job of taking care of our 2 Dachshunds and older Lab. We took a trip to the Dry Tortugas and didn’t want to leave them in our 5th wheel for 14 hrs without a potty break. Nicole made two visits to walk and let the baby’s use the park for a stretch break. One of the girls wet the blanket in her kennel and Nicole noticed it and put it in a plastic bag outside our door. We enjoyed our trip knowing they would be safe and looked after! Thank You Nicole for taking care of our baby’s!”

I grew up with a dog, was always helping my friends with their dogs and always had a dog myself.

14. dylan y.
“Dylan went above and beyond to get to our house to take good care of our sweet rabbit for 9 days during a huge winter storm. He shoveled and had to walk in from the road due to all the snow and he kept us up to date daily.”
15. Katy S.
About: Hi, my name is Katy. I am an animal lover first and foremost. I have a puppy and 2 grown cats. I have had animals my entire life. I have cat, dog, and house sitting experience for over 25 years. I love that animals love you for who you truly are. All they need is love and attention and i have plenty to give. I'm big on attention to detail so if your dog needs something i will be the first to notice. I will take care of your baby as if he/she were my own. I do have a full time 9-6 job. But am willing to work with you around my schedule. I try to make time for those who need me, I do it for the animals 😍 I am unable to watch large animals at my home but am able to come to wherever you are and care for your pet there
16. Laura H.
About: Have had dogs since the day I was born, groomed them, trained them, walked them, and most importantly loved them wholeheartedly. I’ve cared and raised dogs from ages 3 weeks till they unfortunately departed. I’m currently in nursing school so I have lots of time to love them from home while I study or go hang out with them on study breaks. Take them for walks or if at my house walk them to the beach. I have room at my apartment and an unfenced yard where they could roam around. I have two fur babies that could keep them company on top of my company. I have a beach walking distance where they could run around if allowed by owner.
17. Nikkie C.
“I used Nikkie while vacationing in Florida. She let my fur baby out to bathroom and took him for a walk. I knew he was well cared for while I enjoyed a fishing trip for the afternoon.”
18. Sonja S.
“You will not find a better dog sitter than Sonja! She is so kind and caring and loves dogs so much! She will send you updates and pictures with cute emoji’s and make you feel so comfortable that your dog is in the best care possible. I was nervous about leaving my sweet little baby with someone I didn’t know, but I could not have been more pleased. If you are in the Keys area, I would highly recommend Sonja!!”
19. Joshua J.
“He was really great with our older dog and went above and beyond for our pup on the drop in visits. Highly recommend!”
20. Kaylee T.
“Kaylee seemed really eager to know what our 15 yr old min pin needed from her. She asked questions and texted us when she left. Our pup was content when we got home. Def would use Kaylee again.”
