“Fantastic! Murphy does not usually do well with dogs bigger than him, or too many dogs at once, however, his stay with Sylvia may have changed that, not sure what she did but my boy was very happy hanging out with the other dogs and made his stay a pleasant experience for us all. Highly recommend Sylvia if you need a sitter for your fur baby.”


“She is/was wonderful. We met her and her husband a few days prior to get them acquainted with our boy and him acquainted with them and their baby. We received updates and pictures multiple times a day. They gave our boy a shower after a hard day of play and were perfectly fine when we came back a day earlier than booked. We will definitely be returning customers and will recommend this couple to anyone.”


“Anas and Tate were amazing! We just moved for Gainesville and were in need of caring and reliable sitters for our dogs. They have a great setup with a lovely fenced yard that our dogs enjoyed playing in. It was clear that our pups came home well taken care of. Anas and Tate provided excellent care and communication, always sending photos and updates, and even giving our dogs a bath so they came home nice and clean. We are so thankful for them!”


“Sanja is the best, her love and care boarding of our dog Lady is so comforting. Sanja takes very good care Lady during her stay, and always send pictures showing how happy Lady is at the dog sitter!”


“Adam was a fantastic sitter! He sent lots of photos and updates and took great care of Charlie. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with Adam and will be using him again in the future :)”


“Melissa is fantastic! She kept us informed with pictures and updates and made sure our boys felt right at home! They came home happy and well cared for and we couldn't be more thankful! We will definitely book with Melissa again soon!”


“Alexander and Josephine went above and beyond for my pup. This is one of the few times I’ve had peace of mind when having someone boarding or sitting for Koda. I appreciated how communicative Alexander was.”


“I had to find a sitter unexpectedly during a trip because my original plan fell through. It was my first time being away from my dog, so I was really anxious. But Godness was so kind and responsive. She really helped ease my worries. She sent photos and videos every day, which made me feel reassured. I’m so grateful that she cared for Summer with so much love and attention. Sitters like Godness are truly rare. Thank you so much for everything!”


“Katrina is very friendly. She let us come into her home while Millie sniffed around and relaxed some before we left. Millie was anxious and Katrina sat down with her, pet her, and gave her some cheese to help her calm down. Katrina sent pictures of Millie and gave updates every day.”


“Nina is everything you could ask for to watch your pets. She took care of our older dog and cat for about 3 weeks. This included providing medicine and ensuring our dog didn’t play too hard due to her condition. Also, our cat celebrated 15 years while we were away and Nina made his day special. We received consistent photos, videos, and communication throughout our trip. We even received some great surprise gifts when we came to pick them up! Highly recommend Nina and we would definitely use her again in the future.”


“Mona was awesome with Oreo. He is a laid back kind of dog and she let him lay in the yard or in the house. She kept me up to date and sent pictures every day. He had such a great time, that when I came to pick him up, he hesitated a little. That is the sign of a good dog sitter. Thanks for taking such good care of Oreo.”


“We were nervous about boarding our two dogs for the first time, but Courtney and Brian really went above and beyond to make us and our pups comfortable. Really great care and communication with us throughout our trip. Definitely would do it again!”


“She went above and beyond to make sure my dog felt at home. With her daily updates and fast responses, it was easy to enjoy my vacation because I knew he was being taken care of.”

“Leah and her family were a great fit for my doggies! I 100% trusted them to take good care of my babies. They accommodated so well for my dog who is afraid of fireworks!! I received lots of pictures of them playing with the family and Teddy.”


“No other word but AWESOME! The kids were well cared for and our baby girl didn’t want to leave! We received updates often and photo dumps when the intl. WiFi allowed for it. 10s across the board!”
