“This family is amazing at what they do. They are quick to respond to your booking request and they have accommodated me on several occasions when my schedule has changed. I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter while I’m in Florida for the holidays. They send soooo many pictures and videos. It’s wonderful!”




2. Wendy R.


“Wendy was super awesome to accept my last minute booking for my baby's evening care. I have never left my Squiggle with a pro-sitter, so I was apprehensive about the experience - but I had to try it out, knowing I would probably need sitting services in the future. Wendy was on time picking up my little guy, and even went above and beyond when she went by the pet store to pick up Squiggy's fave brand of food at my request. Thanks, Wendy. She was responsive, quickly answering when I messaged to check on my baby. She even sent me pictures, and although he looked miserable BC he missed me (we are VERY attached), I was comfortable knowing he was well cared for while with Wendy. I had appointments until later that night and Wendy was very accommodating and dropped him off right when I asked, and she gave me a full update via Rover - right down to how many times Squiggy made poo. That is some serious awesome. And although very excited to see me and be home, Squiggy wasn't traumatized I left him with a stranger. Now that he has met Wendy, I wont hesitate to book her again, should we need her. Squiggy made a new friend, and I am now totally cool with Wendy watch my little guy again.”


3. Andrea S.

“Andrea was very accommodating to my schedule and sent lots of videos and pictures throughout my dogs visit. She filled me in on the attitudes of the other dogs she was sitting before I decided to go with her for doggy daycare and all of the dogs ended up getting along nicely. Guiseppe seemed so happy and tired from playing in all of the pictures and I know that he was taken care of:) will definitely book again!”

“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.

“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.”

About: I have taken care of dogs for the majority of my life. Whether it be my own dogs or family friends, I have experienced the different varieties in dogs and their own unique personalities. Hi! I absolutely love animals—especially dogs—and have a puppy of my own who melts my heart every day. I’m dedicated to providing your furry family member with all the love, attention, and playtime they deserve, ensuring they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I have a fenced-in yard where your furry friend can safely run around and play. I share my home with two roommates who also love dogs, so your pup will get plenty of attention and love. There are several dog parks nearby, and I’d love to take your dog on beach walks if they enjoy the water! My own puppy is very friendly and would be thrilled to have a playmate.


20. Laurel L.

“Laurel Ley is my go to dog sitter of all time! She keeps my little Chihuahua/Terrier mix, Bella, who has always been timid and shy around people, but she loves Laurel like a second Mom (sometimes I think even more). :-) Laurel is truly an animal lover and protector, with all animals. Doesn't matter if its a dog, cat, duck, or goose, she's going to do everything she can to be sure they are loved and protected. If you are looking for someone who will love and protect your fur baby, you couldn't pick anyone better than Laurel.”
