First off I want to say Natalie and her family are awesome!!! We had a short trip down to the Keys and I had to leave our dogs with a sitter. This is the first time either dog has been with a sitter and my one female dog has a traumatic past so is very shy/skittish. Natalie and her family treated our dogs like their own and spent so much time with them, making sure they felt comfortable. Natalie even spent the time to sit with Koa (my female dog) and make sure she ate her dinner. Jackson (our male dog) had a blast playing with Natalie's kids and got all the attention his playful puppy self needed. I don't live in Florida full time but I know while I am down here if I need dog sitting, I will rebook Natalie to watch our fur kids again. Thanks so much Natalie for everything you and your family did to make Koa and Jackson feel safe, loved, and comfortable ❤️

I can’t say enough good things about Tom. He watched our black lab for two nights and was the absolute perfect person for our dog. Our dog was well taken care of and loved like he was a part of his family, he got plenty of exercise, and he even was given a bath before pick up. My dog can’t wait to go back for another doggy vacation and I feel so lucky to have found Tom. It is not easy to find someone you trust to take care of your fur baby, and without hesitation I would recommend him to anyone.

I was overall happy with the care Mary gave to my pet. She knows everything about cats whether they’re big or small. I was updated by her and gave me photos and videos. My cat enjoyed his time at her home and it was like a vacation for him. I will for sure come back for her whenever I need a cat sitter.

Annelly (and family) took great care of Kimber. Kimber, being a German Shepard has separation anxiety but, she was well taken care of and I was informed of everything going on and felt secure with my choice. They took her for walks and made sure to sit with her during the July 4th fire works to keep her calm. As a last-minute reservation, with very little time to sit and talk to Annelly, she handled Kimber like a pro, and I would highly recommend her.
