“My dog Mila had the best time with Margaret and her family!! I received lots of pictures everyday and she had outstanding communication.

I am extremely pleased and will definitely be returning!”


“Andrew and Maria are amazing. Our dog bonded with Maria instantly; she is a true “dog whisperer” and has a profound gift with animals. They both did an excellent job caring for our dog. You won’t find a nicer couple to look after your pet in the area. I highly recommend them!!!”


“Jeanette and her husband were great with my two doggies! I got an update almost daily and pictures were sent as well. The two are super knowledgeable about k-9s and took perfect care of mine. I would recommend and plan to use again since my pup lab-pit is now the best of friends with hers!”

Her communication was excellent and she made sure she knew all the details before I left. She adores all animals and it shows with how she takes care of them. I recommend her for all your pet sitting needs! Outstanding service!”


“David and Krysta were fantastic. They have a wonderful family and my dog felt comfortable almost immediately after I dropped her off. David kept me informed, on the daily activities, sent me pictures, and provided behavioral updates. David and Krystal responded promptly adjusting to me very short notice request to drop off Bree and when I arrived ahead of schedule to pick her up. I would highly recommend this family if you need assistance in caring for your love ones. Truly thankful for this experience as it was my first but will not be my last.”



About: Is your dog like Marley? I will take the wildest of the wild to the most tamed. I've owned and cared for dogs most of my life they truly have different personalities that usually mirrors their owners. I enjoy being outdoors and exploring different parks around the city. Nothing beats the company a dog provides. I've owned three dogs in my life. My first was a Brittany Spaniel he was super energetic sweetie even until the end of his life. His best friend came later, a Beagle names Shiloh she was a prancing princess who definitely made sure to let him know who was in charge especially around feeding time, when I had to separate them. And finally Roscoe the "Gentle Giant Gentleman"; A Doberman whom i have claimed as my own although my boyfriend is his actual "owner". I’m available, to pet sit right now, I am a Business marketing student and I work part time at a vegetarian restaurant. I love to ride mu bike most evenings if there’s nothing else. I live by myself, your baby will get a lot of quality time with me. I live in a 4 plex apartment with a security gate, my apartment is sizable for a medium dog to move about freely

“Micah was very communicative in the process. This was my first time using Rover and she definitely made my experience a great one. She assisted with boarding my little pup ,Cooper, for two days and was very accommodating with pick-up and drop-off times. She frequently updated me with videos and pictures of Coop living his best life. Cooper had so much fun playing with their dogs. I never seen him interact so well with other dogs that’s bigger than him. I highly recommend using Micah if you are in the Fort Walton area! She’s definitely my go-to option!”


“Robert and his wife have been so awesome! We’ve used them multiple times and our dogs are always excited and run right in to his home when we drop them off. We are sad we’re moving and won’t be able to keep using them!”


“Patricia was amazing! She made us feel comfortable right off the bat about leaving Wesley with her. She asked about his usual routine and reassured us she had no problems taking care of him. We received photos and updates daily and felt at ease knowing he was in good hands. We will definitely book again if Wesley’s welcome back!”


“Erik did a great job keeping my updated on how things were going and sent pictures as well. Flexible with the drop off and pick up times and was quick responding/communicating.”
