“Huge thank you to Viktoryia for hosting my anxious little terrier while I was on a business trip. Her dog, Coco, took my dog under her wing. My dog had the run of the house which was wonderful as she insists on snuggling with her humans on couches / beds or wherever they happen to be. Thank you, Viktoryia!”
“Stephany did a phenomenal job keeping our French Bulldog. She communicated throughout the day with pictures! She genuinely loves what she does. Highly recommend her. She has heart of gold.”
“Evelyn was amazing! She was very accommodating. She cared for Charley as we would. Gave him lots of cuddles, walks, play time and so much more. She sent us pictures and kept us up to date with him. He loved her home and spacious fenced back yard. We would definitely seek Evelyn when we can’t bring our pup along. Thank You!”
“I cannot say enough great things about Francis! She watched my senior dog, Madi, for a week while I was on vacation. Just before I dropped her off, Madi had been scratching and developed an issue with her eye pressure and had to start eye drops. Francis welcomed her with open arms. A few days into her stay, Madi needed a follow-up vet visit, and Francis took her in and handled everything—including her meds and eye drops—with so much care and attention. Madi is also on heart meds and requires extra support, and Francis went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and well looked after. She sent me daily updates and photos of her relaxing on the couch or exploring her big backyard, which gave me so much peace of mind. I knew Madi was in loving, capable hands. Francis is kind, thoughtful, and clearly has a huge heart for animals—she had a senior dog herself so she understands. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Madi stay with Francis again. You are amazing, I can’t thank you enough!”
“Shari was fantastic and our dog was comfortable, happy and well taken care of! We appreciated all the cute pics and Shari’s prompt communication! You can tell she knows what she’s doing when it comes to dogs! Highly recommend her!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Nathalie watching our dog, Rocky. She was very professional but also friendly and welcoming. She sent us daily photos and videos. Rocky had a wonderful time running and playing with other dogs in the large fenced yard. I highly recommend Nathalie!”
“Elisa was absolutely wonderful while taking care of my pup. I loved getting videos and pictures throughout his stay with her. It was obvious he was well loved and cared for while at her home. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Leslie is a dedicated and responsive dog sitter! Her updates are thorough and frequent. And photos are great. My dog Fiona was very comfortable with Leslie and her cuddly Pug. Leslie really understood Fiona and I highly recommend her dogsitting!”
“We were looking for someone to leave out super high separation anxiety dog with because we've not been able to go anywhere since our other dog passed. We did a trial run over night with two people and Faith was amazing with her. So we did a M-F and she seemed like it went amazing! Faith is probably the only person we trust going forward. Would recommend 10/10!”
“James was awesome. He took in our Ellie and treated her as his own!! We relaxed and enjoyed our visit at the beach knowing Ellie was with James and very well taken care of. Lisa E.”
“Christal was great! My family and I enjoyed a nice vacation in Siesta Key with peace of mind that our dog was being taken care of nearby. Christal’s location was very convenient to our vacation spot and she sent photos of our pup throughout the stay. Would definitely recommend!”
“Ashley did a fantastic job taking care of my Husky. She was very responsive over the phone and sent lots of pictures and videos. 10/10 would recommend. Very sweet person too”

“This was my second time leaving Yogi with Asya. She communicated well, sends awesome photos, and it looks like Yogi has a great time! I will continue to ask them to take care of Yogi when I'm away.”
“Marycarmen took very good care of my 3 month old puppy who was still recovering from an ear infection. She administered his ear drops, hand fed him because of his cone, and sent pictures to update me. Highly recommend!”
“My dog had the best time with Lisa & Matthew! I received many pictures and videos, they have a nice backyard where the dogs can play! My dog came back so happy 🥰 thank you again!!”
