1. Vanessa D.


“Vanessa was absolutely incredible! From consistent updates with pictures and videos to giving our Bella girl lots of love and care. It was our first time using a dog sitter for an extended trip and Vanessa made us feel comfortable and our dog safe and happy. We could not be happier and more appreciative of Vanessa. We would highly recommend her and will definitely be requesting her assistance again!”


2. Marianne L.

My puppy is high-energy, and I truly appreciate knowing he was in good hands. It’s such a relief to have someone I can trust. Highly recommend this sitter to anyone looking for reliable and loving care!”

Thank you again to you both! 🙏”

7. Christina L.

“Thank you for taking good care of Sam! I felt very comfortable with her from the moment I met her at our meet and greet. We will definitely book her again.”


8. Robin W.


“Robin definitely lived up to her reviews! She was staying with my little dog and 2 bunnies for the whole weekend. She did an amazing job, I did not need to worry about anything. My dog is usually very shy, and it takes him days to warm up to someone new, but with Robin it happened super fast and already within 15 minutes he was nudging her hand asking to pet him! Robin’s calm presence, attention to detail and obvious love for animals made her the best choice - I knew my pets were in good hands. ? Thank you, Robin! ?”




9. Jaclyn G.

“Jackie has come to the rescue for myself and husband while vacationing in Lauderdale. We have our small 14 year old Maltese with us, and had no choice but to take him with us. He doesn’t do well at boarding facilities. I decided to get a dog sitter with the hopes of finding someone asap that not only takes good care of my dog, but is friendly with myself and husband too. It’s hard to trust good people. Jackie is wonderful and accommodating to the times we need. Will use her again in the future when I’m back in Lauderdale. Highly recommend!”


10. Dawn W.

11. Kristina D.

“I had a pleasant experience having Kristina pet sit Milo at my apartment for 3 nights/3 days. She was quick to respond. She gave me frequent updates and pictures. She left my apartment just as I left it. I would definitely recommend her to watch your pet and would use her again!”


12. Nicole Z.

“Nicole was SO SWEET with my two boys who sometimes can be a lot to handle. I really appreciated her stopping in before our vacation to meet them. She sent pictures the entire time and I will 100% be booking with her in the future! Thank you so much for taking care of my babies!”


13. LaMyiah P.

“LaMyiah took such great care of our two babies. She treated them as if they were her own. Not only did she care for their needs but she also made sure the house was also well taken care of. She will definitely be our go to girl! We felt at ease when we left the state. LaMyiah sent us updates, pictures, and videos!”


14. Christina A.

“Christina was the best pet sitter that we ever had! It was obvious from our first meeting that she is a caring and conscientious person. She went above and beyond in handling all of the special needs of our elderly pets. She also sent us photos and short videos of our pets everyday! I highly recommend Christina as a pet sitter! She is the best! -Karin & Lana”
