1. Janet & Saar Z.
“Janet and Saar are warm and friendly people. They had several dogs over with Max and were very mindful of how the dogs got introduced to each other for the safety of all of them. They sent us pictures and news of our dog every day, allowing us to stay up to date and not worry about him. We were glad we left Max with them and would use them again, if and when needed. Thank you Janet and Saar. ?”
2. Cynthia G.
“Cinder was absolutely amazing with our fur baby. I am always hesitant to leave my baby girl with anyone but Cindee gave me the warm and fuzzy. She made sure to arrange a meet and greet before hand showed me where my little fur baby would be. I could tell she was experienced just from our conversation. She made it easy on me. She messaged me with pictures and updates to ease my heart and was very understanding of our situation with our newborn. 20/10 RECOMMEND!”
3. Paige B.
“Paige was the best sitter we’ve ever had for our pup! She laid with our pup and hand fed her to comfort her when she was sad without us — TRULY went above and beyond for our girl!”
4. Toni N.
“Jack is a very shy cat so it was important he have his own space. Toni let him have a room to himself to do his thing! She answered my messages promptly and sent pictures to keep me updated on how he was doing. I'll be using Toni's services again the next time we're in town.”
5. Sammy H.
“Sammy was excellent! She and her adorable dog took great care of our puppy for a week while we were out of town. They even taught him excellent manners. He came back better behaved than he was when we left him. She sent lots of photos and videos and it was clear he was having a blast and getting lots of play time and cozy time. I definitely recommend Sammy.”
6. Megan H.
“Oliver was happy to go play with Sammy and Megan making drop-off super easy:). The photos Megan sent put me at ease! I’m looking forward to Oliver’s next stay -his vacation:)”
7. Lauren M.
“Lauren is fantastic with our puppy Fletcher. She sends us updates and the cutest pictures. Highly recommend her. And he loves to play with her dog Bruin.”
8. Em Z.
“Em was so incredible to work with! I booked pretty last minute with her and had rather an odd request and she was so accommodating. She gave us updates during our pup's stay with her and sent us photos. She was incredibly easy to contact and she truly went above and beyond for us during a very busy wedding weekend. It gave me such a huge peace of mind to know that my dog was loved, safe, and well cared for while in Em's care. 10/10 would absolutely recommend!”
9. Teresa & Chase & Dakota F.
“Absolutely thrilled with Teresa's pet sitting services! From the moment I met her, I felt completely at ease leaving my fur baby, Paisley, in her care. Teresa's warm and caring demeanor was evident right away, and I knew Paisley was in good hands. Throughout the entire stay, Teresa kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which provided immense peace of mind. It was clear that Paisley was not only well taken care of but genuinely happy and comfortable. Teresa's attention to detail and dedication to ensuring Paisley's well-being truly stood out. She followed all of my instructions perfectly and even went above and beyond by engaging Paisley in her favorite activities. Coming home to a content and well-cared-for dog was such a relief. I am incredibly grateful to Teresa for her exceptional care and professionalism. Knowing that Paisley was safe and loved made all the difference. I highly recommend Teresa to anyone seeking a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you, Teresa, for your outstanding service!”
10. Tracee S.
“My Hades stayed with Tracee for a week and when I went to pick her up she did not want to leave. She felt, played and slept just like she was in our own home, if not better because of the attention she received. We received daily photos and videos about all of her adventures like playing in the pool and playing with the other dogs. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Hades will be definitely be back!!!”
11. Tyler H.
“Tyler was great with Duke. She sent lots of pictures and updates. She was easy to communicate with regarding the pick up time. Would definitely use her again!”
12. Madison P.
“I can now see why Maddie and Charlea have such high reviews.. they are awesome! They send so many great pics and communicate with you extremely well. I can tell my doggo has so much fun and is well taken care of whenever he visits them because he comes back so so tired. I will only use them as long as I’m in Jax, fantastic sitters!”
13. Megan C.
“Best of both worlds! Doggie Friends & People to be with. All the local sitters were busy so I looked near where we were vacationing ~ 900 miles away and found Megan. She set up a Google "Meet" and greet. Where she explained her setup & approach. She has two dogs and looks for 2 dogs that match well with hers. She was already boarding a young dog & was looking for an smaller older dog so she was excited to get my request. So I was fortunate not only for Desmond to play outside in a fenced in yard but it was also a great chance for him to be "one of the gang." And then when he needed a break to know that there are people near to sit by. I would recommend if you find Megan has an opening to take the opportunity and board your dog with her!”
14. Karen & Laura B.
“I recommend Laura & Karen to anyone in the Jacksonville area who needs to board their pup. They are professional, responsive and clean. The house is a blessing for Daisy, our 3 yr-old boxer/terrier mix who loves to stay here when we go out of town. Daisy feels comfortable in this home which works because she is relaxed like she is “at home, away from home”. She is happy when we drop her off and is all smiles and wags when we arrive at pickup. She shows no signs of anxiety like she did when staying at boarding kennels in the past. We could tell how much Laura loves animals and loves on my dog, She sends pictures and updates throughout the day, and was always available whenever I texted her. We are so happy to take our dog to this house to stay and feel confident Daisy will be happy to go back to visit.”
15. lsabela P.
“Isabela has been a lifesaver for us. Knowing our dog is getting a daily walk and some playtime while we’re at work gives us such peace of mind. We couldn’t be happier with her service!”
16. Amber L.
“My fur baby, Danny, has been spoiled by Amber while staying in her care. She loves dogs and they love her back, just as much. From cuddles to treats, she makes dogs feel safe and welcome in her home.”
17. Brittany E.
“I want to take the time out to thank Brittany!!!!! She’s the best. Not only did she take Sassy at the last minute she was polite, informative, sweet, and caring!! I would definitely book her again!!”
18. Kristine G.
“Kristine did a great job caring for my dog. He seems to have had a blast in her care. She did a good job of following the instructions we left for her. Would definitely recommend her to anyone.”
19. Brent & David W.
“Left my dog with them for the weekend! I was not worried one bit after I dropped off my dog! They are in a perfect location if your dog loves going to a park! Highly recommend them!”
20. Charlayda M.
“Thank you so much Charlayda ???! I am so happy I left my pepper in your care while I was away for work. Charlayda is such a sweetheart! She has a great fun personality and she’s extremely dedicated about her job. I never not once felt any type of stress while I was away. She had kept me updated throughout the entire stay with videos and pictures of Pepper and I greatly appreciate her for that ?. That definitely reassured me that my baby was okay and in great hands ? . She also has an adorable dog name Cocoa and she is the cutest chiweenie I have ever seen ??. They had so much fun together and when I came back to get Pepper she was a very happy dog. I highly recommend her to anyone that wants to leave their fur baby in her care ✅. She is extremely knowledgeable and gives great advice. Again THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH! I thought finding a dog sitter was going to be hard but now I’m comfortable with her and now I can say I have found a dependable sitter. I definitely will be bringing my Pepper back to her❗️❗️❗️♥️”
