“This is the 2nd time Andrea and David watched my dog. Each visit they make sure to keep me updated with how he’s doing, and with photos. He always comes home the same happy dog he was when I dropped him off. I cannot recommend them enough and I will allow them to watch my puppy over and over again!”

About: I've had and cared for dogs for most of my life. They are family to me, and I care for them as family. My house is perfect for pets because they can sit by the front window and keep an eye on folks walking by. I have a great-sized yard so they can sun themselves and run around. Pets at my house get the royal treatment; they can sleep anywhere they like and will get so much attention and so many tummy rubs. I work from home, so my pet-sitting schedule is very flexible. It's a welcome break from the computer to take a pup out for a walk or to have a quick play in the yard. I have a fenced-in yard in a quiet neighborhood, so your fur baby will be kept safe. The gates are locked, and I am usually home. There's no need to worry, I'll keep a close eye on them.

“Five stars! Maria was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Olaf. From the moment I dropped him off, Maria was incredibly attentive and kept me updated throughout his stay with regular communication, including adorable videos and pictures. It was so comforting to see Olaf happy and well-cared for. They even went above and beyond by taking him for walks and including him in their weekend picnic plans! It's clear they truly love dogs and treat them like their own. I will absolutely be contacting Ryan and Maria again whenever I'm in the area – I highly recommend their dog-watching services!”

I have a very skiddish and shy dog who grew to fully trust Cynthia in a very short amount of time which doesn’t happen often. I’m so happy to have found her and will definitely be using her for all of my future travels! Thank you again Cynthia!!”

We appreciated the updates and pictures she sent us. 3 of our 4 pups did come back with a little cold and I thought the $90 roundtrip pickup and drop-off to Ponte Vedra was a little steep, but overall we were happy with her services. She sent them home with cute little bandanas which was sweet!”

About: Boarding: Dogs must be crate trained and vaccinations up to date. Must be kid friendly and do well with large dogs. I have a large, shaded back yard where we can play with toys or fetch. Walk around the quiet neighborhood or take a nap and cuddle. I have an active golden doodle who can’t wait to have a play buddy. I will happily take your dog on walks, play their favorite game and keep a structured routine if needed. Administer topical, injection or oral meds. Meet and greets preferred prior to care. I am currently working from home and have a large shaded yard. Which means potty breaks and outside play and relax time are always available. I will make sure your pets schedule is followed so you can be sure your pet will have fun and be cared for while you are away. My home is doggie safe. Minimalistic feel with little to no clutter. Space for your dog to stretch out and relax. Separate room with crate for sleep and/or alone time if needed. If I leave the house crate trained dogs can safely stay in crate with water and food. Feedings can be done separate if needed. Please bring leash, water and food bowl, and favorite treats. Do not bring toys because they will be enjoyed and destroyed by my dog.

We’ve had Andrea Cristina and David watch our dog multiple times, and each experience has been wonderful. They are incredibly friendly, flexible, and easy to communicate with, which makes everything so stress-free for us. Most importantly, our dog absolutely loves them, and that says it all! We are so appreciative of Andrea Cristina and David for the care and attention they give our dog. It gives us such peace of mind knowing our dog is in such great hands. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and amazing sitter for their family pet.

I knew for sure Bogie had a great time when I picked him up because he didn’t know who to focus on. He was happy to see me, but also checking with Candace and Thomas for their direction. He definitely felt happy and completely secure—at home, even! They gave a daily update with pictures and absolutely treated him like their own. I’m very grateful!

Dropping off an animal (Astro) can be hard sometimes, but Rebecca did such an awesome job and made me feel so comfortable leaving him for the first time. She was very responsive whenever I asked for updates or pictures and truly met Astro’s needs. I’m grateful for the care she provided. I defiantly recommended booking Rebecca if you are in the area. We will defiantly be booking her again.🐶🎉

Alysia did a wonderful job taking care of our girls during our 6 day trip out of the country! We have one young pup who can get a little rambunctious and then a 13 year old girl who was recently started on some new medications. Alysia handled both of them like a champ! She was very comfortable administering medications which gave me a lot of peace of mind during our trip. Both girls seemed very happy and comfortable when we picked them up, which I also appreciated. Will definitely be reaching back out in the future!
