“I can’t recommend Jelinna enough to watch over your fur babies. We felt at ease the whole time we were away knowing our pets were in good hands. Both of our animals can be a little temperamental in their own ways, and she navigated that wonderfully and became quick friends with our monsters. Communication was wonderful and she left our home in perfect shape. A+++”


“Konstantina did a wonderful job with my senior dog today. He was so relaxed and content when I got home it was great. I highly recommend her if you need a sitter you can count on.”


“We needed someone to take care of our two senior dogs when we went out of town, and found Shania! We did a meet and greet and after getting to know her briefly we felt that with all of her experience she would be a great option! Shania followed instructions with coming over and letting our two senior dogs out early morning and throughout the day, and also making sure they were fed! She was excellent with communication when needed and very friendly. We appreciate her accepting us on Rover and grateful she took care of our two dogs.”


“Justine was wonderful taking great care of The Girls! You can tell her experience with animals and the care she exudes. The girls thank you for caring for them as do we. I highly recommend Justine for your pet-sitting needs. We will call on her again in the future. Thank you Justine.”


“Shirley saved the day for us. Our scheduled pet sitter became ill and had to cancel. Shirley saved the day, she was able to accommodate my very last minute request. She did very well with our very energetic 14 month old pups. Would recommend.”


“Did a fantastic job with our pets and kept our house clean and neat while we were away. Thank you Alexis, highly recommend! Went above and beyond for us and was very professional and polite.”


“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We cannot say enough amazing things about Hallie! She stepped in on short notice to care for our boys, Loki and Maverick, and completely exceeded our expectations. This was the first time we had ever left our six-month-old golden retriever with anyone, and we were honestly very nervous. But from the moment Hallie arrived, she put us at ease. She stayed in our home and was incredibly respectful, clean, and communicative. Hallie kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the weekend, which made such a difference and allowed us to actually enjoy our trip. It was clear the boys had a blast with her—they were happy, well-fed, and kept on their regular routine. Hallie truly went above and beyond, and we feel so lucky to have found her. We are already looking forward to having her back for our next trip. Thank you, Hallie, for treating our pups like your own!”


“Samantha is a very friendly, calm person. She stayed at our house to take care of our five-year old Samoyed for a long weekend. Samantha and Kody got along well and everything was fine when we returned. Definitely would hire Samantha again.”


“My cat has bad separation anxiety, and Ahjinae did a great job with him while I was away. She provided updates and photos when he came out from his hiding spot and she played with him and gave him attention when he allowed. She was super responsive and flexible as well when scheduling and making arrangements. I will book her again!”


About: I have owned dogs for as long as I can remember and currently have 5 dogs and 1 cat I care for. I also have experience working as a kennel tech for 2.5 years and still currently employed where I do things like Feed, medicate, walk, bathe, vaccinate, and other services clients may ask for. I take care of 5 dogs and 1 cat at home and at work I care for plenty more dogs and cats. I am constantly running around making sure they are fed, medicated, and fully updated with additional services clients request. With my job in an animal hospital I am experienced in seeing changes in dog’s body language and knowing how best to care for them for the current situation. I have experience caring for everything from small dogs to the biggest dogs.

“Debra was amazing! She provided my 2 senior dogs with wonderful in house care meaning so my dogs who have vision and medical needs a familiar environment.

About: I have externed at a veterinary clinic, volunteered at animal shelters, and completed a NAVTA Approved Veterinary Assistant (AVA) Program in 2017. I provided palliative care for my own senior pup at the end of his life. Currently, I have two cats. I have always been an animal lover and take great joy and caring for our four-legged companions. I believe pets are family and should be treated as such. I currently work remotely, so I have a flexible schedule and have ample time to give all the care and attention that your pet needs. I can stay on property full-time if desired, only stepping away for food runs/necessities. I am prompt and professional. Please let me know if you have any special instructions or if your pet has special needs that require specific care requirements. I will do everything I can to provide a calm and enjoyable experience for your furbaby.

“Alyssa took great care of our 2 dogs while we were gone for a weekend. She was very responsive and spent good time with them. She did well with sticking to our schedules for them and adjusting anything as needed. She also left our home very clean and like we left it which was nice! We appreciate her time a lot this weekend!”


About: Hi there! My name is Lauren, and my husband and I both work from home with plenty of time to care for your fur baby! We have both been dog owners our entire lives and have plenty of experience with a variety of breeds, ages, temperaments, etc. We recently said goodbye to our 6yo miniature Golden Retriever (mixed with a Cavalier King Charles) who unfortunately lost his battle with aggressive bone cancer. He was our pride and joy, so we’re putting extra time and attention towards caring for your fur babies. We take lots of walks during the day and enjoy playtime and snuggles too! We are happy to accommodate your pet’s needs. We only accept one pet at a time to make sure they are given our utmost attention and care. We allow pets on furniture or to sleep in the bed with us if that is desired. We hope you’ll consider us for your drop in visit or long term boarding needs! Please let us know about your pet’s needs, likes, and dislikes so that we keep them safe and happy during their stay with us. We want them to feel like they are in their normal routine while with us! We both work from home, so we will be here almost 24/7 with your pet. We can provide bathroom breaks and walks at any time frame needed, and can provide lots of extra playtime and snuggles during the day! Please tell us about your pet’s favorite activities or any issues/triggers so we can keep them happy and comfortable during their stay! We only accept one booking in our home at a time to ensure your pet is well cared for! We do not have a fenced in yard, but we were accustomed to taking our own dog out in the yard on a leash and on lots of walks during the day. We do have a screened in lanai with a pool, so we can all sit out back for some fresh air or swimming if your pet enjoys the water. They are never allowed out without our supervision. Please let us know if your pet has any behavioral issues or extra needs so we can make sure to keep them safe and happy during their stay with us!
