1. Karcyn S.
“Karcyn was amazing! She took exemplary care of our dogs while we were away. One of our dogs required specialized treatment and medicine because of a recent injury and Karcyn went above and beyond to make sure she stayed healthy. Our dogs were well loved and we enjoyed receiving frequent updates and pictures. She even cleaned up after the dogs and brought in packages. We found our house better than we left it. She cared for and communicated better than some of the sitters we've hired for our human children. Highly, highly recommend Karcyn! We will be asking her back any time we travel!”

“We thoroughly appreciated the attention Lily gave Fern during her stay. We felt so comfortable with her from the beginning. Lily offered to come by the house twice prior to her stay just to get familiar with Fern. She sent several pictures and updates throughout the weekend and left our house very neat and tidy. We have already scheduled another stay with her and will not get the usual anxiety about leaving Fern with a sitter at all! Thanks, Lily!!”

I never had an ounce of worry while I was out of town and would absolutely ask Niara to watch my fur babies again! Thank you, Niara! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Nicole made our trip to Destin absolutely perfect. She was sweet, prompt, kind, went far above and beyond to love on and care for our Samson. We got several picture updates while she was sitting for him, responded to our questions immediately, and made us and Samson feel at ease as soon as we met. She took him for multiple walks in the hours she was with him and went the mile extra mile to care for us and our nerves, too. I would recommend Nicole to every pet parent in or visiting the area and she will be our first contact if the needed in the future. We are so thankful for Nicole!”
