“This was our third time using this sitter, and we’ve always felt very comfortable leaving Buddy with them—but this time truly showed how exceptional they are. We had an unexpected emergency with Buddy involving a neurological issue, and they handled it calmly and professionally. They called me immediately, followed my instructions exactly, and kept me updated throughout, which really helped put me at ease during a very stressful situation. They are incredibly responsible, attentive, and reliable. I’m so grateful for the care they gave Buddy and the support they gave me. I highly recommend them and look forward to bringing Buddy back once he’s feeling better.”

“Stephanie was amazing with our pup! She is friendly, communicative and flexible. She sent us multiple pictures daily to ease our minds that our buddy was in good hands. He loved his time there with Stephanie and Toby so much that he didn’t want to come back home with us 🤣”
“I live in South Florida but often travel with my dog, a 17 pound cavapoo named Goldie. I was in the area with family for two weeks and had to find a place for Goldie to stay for 4 days. I found Cathy and read the reviews and decided to book it. I couldn't be happier! I got pictures of Goldie playing with the other dogs and her daughter even let her sleep in bed with her! Like so many dog lovers I'm always nervous leaving my baby with a stranger but after meeting Cathy for 5 minutes she wasn't a stranger. I couldn't recommend Cathy more!”
“I We had a great experience with Yesenia and Manny while Cody stayed with them for 4 days during our trip. It was Cody’s first time boarding at someone else's house, and everything went smoothly. Yesenia and Manny were very attentive and caring, which made us feel completely at ease. They also sent us regular pictures and videos of Cody, so we could see how well he was doing while we were away. We highly recommend them and would definitely trust them again!”

We couldn’t be happier with the care she provided and would definitely recommend her. Truly kind and caring!”

I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Bentley! From the start, she made me feel completely at ease. Bentley was comfortable, happy, and clearly well cared for the entire time. Mary kept in contact with me daily, which I really appreciated, and gave updates that reassured me he was in great hands. She also followed all of my instructions exactly. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. I would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive!
Camila was absolutely wonderful! She kept me updated with photos and videos and took such great care of Winnie.

I’ll definitely be booking her again—couldn’t be happier with the experience!
Vinny took amazing care of Buddy and really went above and beyond to make sure Buddy was comfortable and had everything he needed. It looks like Buddy had such a great time and really settled in. Vinny was very flexible, communicative and provided great updates throughout Buddy’s stay. Thank you very much, Vinny!
Due to some last minute changes, we had to find boarding for our 7 year old pup for 8 nights (!). It was our pups' second time boarding ever (1st time was at an animal hospital and it went terribly). We decided to give boarding a 2nd chance, and our dog was in good hands. Andrew safely and thoughtfully integrated our 20 lb. pup into the existing playgroups, to the point where the little guy made big dog friends! Andrew was clear and concise in his communication and availability. He was also clear and concise in his expectations for our dog and the dogs he cares for, raising the bar for their behaviors. All the videos he sent us had plenty of wagging tails. Our pup came home happy, spunky, and more obedient.
