“This was my first time leaving for 10 days on vacation and leaving my dog. She would usually stay with a relative and only over a weekend. I checked out boarding, but couldn't bare to leave her in a kennel for 10 days. That's when I booked Jennifer. All I can say is that Jennifer is a life saver. I was nervous as could be and when we met her and Hector we booked that night. They put us at ease and our Lily loved them as soon as they walked in. Al I can say is that Jennifer made our vacation so much easier and comfortable since I was a wreck leaving her. We got several daily pictures and updates on how she was doing throughout the day. Just constant correspondence and Lily looked so happy and safe in her own environment. Lily enjoyed her time with them and they were totally attentive to her and her needs as well mine as a first time doggy mommy! All I can say is Thank You!!!!! I most definitely will be using Jennifer in the future. Lily already misses her.”

“Jennifer was amazing! She was extremely efficient and responsive when it came to booking and the actual day of dog sitting. She was willing to take the time to come over ahead of time and meet the pups the day before. We were going to be gone all day for a day trip with our kids and needed someone to come and walk our German Shepherd and Yorkie and feed them dinner. She went over three times during the day and sent us pictures and videos during each visit. It was nice knowing they were in good hands as we are new to the area. We will definitely be using Jennifer again and highly recommend her!”

“Brittany took excellent care of our rambunctious puppy Emmy and old man Gibbs. They both appeared very comfortable with her. She followed routines and communicated daily. She is extremely trustworthy and we will be utilizing her services again.”

“Connie was a wonderful dog-sitter for my elder dog Kelsey. She kept me informed and sent photos throughout the days I was gone. Kelsey warmed up to her very quickly. It's a nice feeling knowing I have a trustworthy dog-sitter to turn to when needed. I highly recommend Connie!”

About: I’ve been a dog lover since I was a baby. My family has always had a dog in the home. We have had a Boarder Collie, German Shepherds, Labs and mixed pups. I have always been very loving with my pets and have always trained them to not be loud except in dangerous situations. I love to just spend time, walk, and play catch with dogs. Right now we are super busy with sports and school but I stay at home so I’m available most of the time. I am available during the weekends and will be able to have a dog at our home or can come to your home. Whatever makes your dog happiest! I have a huge fenced in yard which is perfect for dogs to run around and play. I do spray for bugs and ants so that isn’t an issue. I do have lizards that our puppies love to chase. I do have a pond in our backyard but we have a fence. The dogs like to watch the birds and bunnies. I do pick up doggy duties right after so don’t worry about your buddy trying to eat others.

About: I’ve always had cats and dogs growing up! I’ve been watching my families pets for years, and taken care of my own! I love learning about new animals. Feel free to ask any questions! I’m currently a house cleaner and my job is super flexible! I mostly work in Punta Gorda so I’m able to stop in most times of the day. When handling nervous animals, I always show calmness and patience, because they are emotional beings and they’re probably missing their owners. Play with them and make sure they feel safe and comfortable.
