“AMAZING SERVICE! Randy and Mimi took care of our dog like he was their own. He had such a good time and was able to socialize and meet new dogs. We would recommend them to anyone looking for an amazing doggy day care/boarding for their dog!”


“Everything went smoothly and Midnight was very happy thank you again for everything and we will see you on the return trip in a couple months. I cannot leave you a tip at this time you know why but I will get you one soon.”


“Sharon was AMAZING!!! She lived Naomi from the minute she saw her. Naomi made a two new friends immediately. She wanted to play with the dog and snuggle with Sharon. It was like long lost friends reuniting. She sent a picture and updated us also. Sharon is an angel with a heart for both dogs and their owners. We have found our Jacksonville Rover and will book again with any trips where Naomi comes along. Highly, highly recommend Sharon!!”


About: My name is Laura. I know the importance of trusting someone to take care of your babies. I will give them love and care like at home. They bring so much joy and peace to my life. I feel like they are the soul of our home. I hope to have the opportunity to meet and take care of your babies. See you soon. This is a part-time job, I also work at Amazon Flex, so I adjust my work schedule depending on the clients I have during the week! I have a small patio in the back, and you will also have your walkies in the area for as long as you want. I have two dogs that will accompany your babies Luna and Mattias... we hope to have them home soon.

About: I live in a home with a fenced-in yard. I have 5 animals of my own (1 dog, 4 cats) and I live with 2 other furbaby spoilers (1 works at the humane society!). I also work from home, so I can be very flexible. I promise to send you silly/cute moments of their vacation 🥰 I work from home, so I am very flexible. I also have a fenced-in yard. I can follow just about any routine your pets are used to. I’m big on furbaby cuddles! While I’m watching them, they will get all the nose boops and scratches they want! If they’re on a potty schedule, I’ll set timers to make sure I don’t miss it. If not, I love figuring out what their cue is to go outside :)

“We were from out of town for a wedding and found out our pet friendly hotel would not let our 5 pound puppy stay in room in a playpen while we were out so needed someone quick. Joanna was quick to respond and was very accommodating for the daycare on a Sunday. She is a very caring person and her love of pets shows. Our puppy did well in the family atmosphere. As a veterinarian I would feel very comfortable asking Joanna to care for our pet again.”


“Kaitlyn and Andrew were great with my Dustin boy! They kept me informed all day of his activities and how he was coming along! Highly recommend and I’ll definitely use them again! Thanks for caring for my Dustin!!”


About: I have always grown up and been around dogs and cats. I grew up with big dog breeds and they will always hold my heart, but I currently have a small dog who I love like a human child haha. I’ve been around and helped train puppies and also have experience with older doggies. I accept and love all shapes, sizes, ages, and breeds. I have a full time remote job , so I am always home! I may go to the gym for an hour but I am never more than 20 minutes away from my house. I have time during my day for long walks and even longer cuddle sessions. I have a larger apartment so accommodate any size doggo and my own small pup to offer some company to yours! I also love to be outside and go on walks so there is no shortage of outside time.

“I needed a emergency dog sitter for a few houses on a Saturday night and Colin and Juliana came through at the last minuete. I dropped my daschsund off and I immediately felt comforatable with Colin and Juliana and that they had a safe home. I received a couple of pictures and updates during the stay to ensure me my daschsund was fine. I have no problem recommending Colin and Juliana and I will be bringing my daschsund back in the future.”


“Q and Eric took great care of our dog Benito. It was our first time using Rover. We arrived to a clean home. Our dog was clean and happy when we arrived. We had photos and videos of him having fun playing with other dogs and also sleeping on their couch. We would book with Q and Eric again.”


“Charlayda is absolutely wonderful. She provided me with updates throughout the visit and kept me updated on my little man. I also got a cute repot of him at the end which was so lovely. I recommend Charlayda 10000000%. Her beautiful smile and warm personality was very refreshing and comforting. Thank you so much !! Meechi and I will be back xoxo”


“My puppy had an amazing time at Katelyn’s. She kept me updated and sent me pictures throughout the day which I really appreciate. He was so tired he couldn’t keep his head upon our drive home.”
