Apollo had a wonderful stay! He was really happy the whole time, we got lots of pictures and updates, and I'd say he came back calmer and better behaved than when we left him! I'd love to have him stay here again!

Sayla loves every trip she has to Shannon's. She plays so hard it takes her a whole day of rest to recoup! Wonderful to have someone to trust for our girl.

I usually go with a pet boarding facility but wanted to try something different. Meaghan was very responsive and flexible with my schedule. She welcomed my 2 frenchies with open arms no hesitation. She made me feel more comfortable with her than taking them to a pet paradise.

Wendy was superb. This was my first time boarding my 4 month old teething golden and was exactly what I was hoping for. I was out of town for 4 days, she was very flexible with my flight delay, sent updates and pictures daily and my boy was excited to see me but sad to leave Wendy cause she took such good care of him. I’m hesitant to trust strangers with my pup but will absolutely be using Wendy again.

As always, AMAZING. I will plan my vacations around her. If she can’t watch Ellie.. I ain’t going. Best dog sitter there is. When we turned into her neighborhood Ellie already knew where she was and got so excited. She loves going over there. I highly recommend and will scream to the rooftops … chose Charlayda. I drive an hour just so Ellie can stay with her, trust me she’s worth it

I had a 10/10 experience with Alicia this past weekend while she watched my dog, Kingston. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Alicia was incredibly patient, kind, and attentive with him. She sent daily updates and photos, which meant so much to us while we were away. I’m so thankful to have found her and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. Your baby will absolutely be in great hands with Alicia!

I was worried because that was the first time Demi, my cat was going aways for a few days to a different home. Megan sent daily photos, videos and updates that put my mind at rest. The cat was happy and relaxed when picked up. I would rebook and I strongly recommend her services.

I cannot express how much we appreciate Emma and Adam. This was absolutely the best pet sitting experience we’ve ever had. We travelled to Jacksonville to catch a cruise ship and boarded our fur baby for five days. I am always nervous about leaving my dog, but Emma made every step of the process as wonderful and reassuring as possible. My dog was in a loving home with great communication, wonderful pictures, and a very responsive sitter. We were able to thoroughly enjoy our cruise knowing our dog was in such capable and caring hands. I highly recommend Emma as a pet sitter!

She clearly works hard to make this a great experience for both owners and the pets. Thank you so much, Katya!! Highly highly recommend

I’ve never felt more comfortable leaving my dog anywhere. My Nico (a miniature long haired dachshund) was in great hands! We got photo updates and quick responses anytime we checked in. He was always happy and taken care of! We could tell from the photos that he was having a great time. We will definitely be booking again! Thanks for loving our sweet pup!
