We had a great experience with Jeannette. She took wonderful care of my dog. I live in an area that has no reliable pet care, so my dog travels with me and stays with a local sitter. I’m always a little nervous, but Jeannette was very communicative prior to and great from our first meet. I would definitely use her again if I travel back to Destin.

Oaky is a fantastic dog sitter. She is flexible and communicative. She loves dogs and can read them. She cared for my dog very well. I highly recommend her.

Oakie was a great sitter for my dog. It was last minute but she was able to accommodate us and we were so thankful that she could. She sent pictures daily also text and responded to my texts in a timely manner. She was the perfect match for my dog. I highly recommend her and definitely will use her again.

Safety, trust & environment

Pets will be supervised in fenced yard. Currently I do not have any pets of my own, but I have extra crates, baby gates, and dog beds available to keep your pet safe and cozy.

A typical day

I’d be the ultimate pet-sitter sidekick 🐾! I’d tailor the fun to their personality. And of course, lots of cuddles (if they’re into that), silly voices, and maybe a pet photo shoot to capture their cuteness.
