2. Marianne L.

“I am so grateful to have found such a wonderful dog sitter! My puppy is like my baby, so finding someone I could trust was very important to me. From the moment they met, my pup felt comfortable and even gives her kisses—which says a lot! I feel completely at ease knowing he’s in safe, loving hands. She provides the best quality of care, always sends me pictures, and responds quickly to any messages. I couldn’t ask for more!”

7. 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!”

They understood my way of caring for Poppy and they did not disappoint. They also took cute pictures of her which i appreciate! I will definitely be reaching out to both of them again. Thank you again to you both! 🙏”


11. Charlene C.

“Charlene was wonderful with our animals and sent plenty of pictures and updates during her stay. She was quick to reply to my messages, offered to meet up a couple times before the stay to make sure all the animals were comfortable with her, and she made sure our house was cleaned up before we got home, as if we had never left! I will definitely recommend Charlene for anyone who needs a pet sitter!”


12. Nicole G.

“Nicole has been amazing since getting our new puppy Bailey. We first used her services for house drop ins, and recently had to take an emergency family trip for 3 days which we booked Nicole to house sit. It is always nerve-wracking to leave a pet let alone let alone a puppy at 5-6 months, but we knew from how Bailey has enjoyed her house visits Nicole would be the best fit. Nicole was communicative the whole time and sent lots of cute pictures of Bailey and it made us happy to see how happy Bailey was! Thank you Nicole - 10/10 recommend and will absolutely book again!”




13. Neil 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”

17. Leiya T.
“Leiya is what every pet owner wants there pet sitter to be. She is happy to go above and beyond for all of the animals she spends time with. You can tell when someone has a passion for something and when it’s just a job. And Leiya has a passion to be around animals. She watched both my golden doodles when I was away and would update me about when they were fed, walked, and even gave them a bath after a dirty day at the park. For me I feel comfortable letting Leiya spend time with any animals after the experience I had!”


18. Katie B.
“Katie watched my golden doodle named Meco and I’ve never seen him more happy!! He had more energy when we returned then I’ve ever see him have. She did a wonderful job taking care of him I only use her going forward when I’m out town.”
