“I was overall happy with the care Mary gave to my pet. She knows everything about cats whether they’re big or small. I was updated by her and gave me photos and videos. My cat enjoyed his time at her home and it was like a vacation for him. I will for sure come back for her whenever I need a cat sitter.”


“Debi is very responsible and kept me informed about my dog's wellbeing throughout her stay. She sent me pictures every day. Would definitely board my dog with her again.”



“I cannot say enough good things about Laura and Eduardo! This was my first time using Rover and leaving my pup with someone for an extended period (2 ½ weeks), and they truly exceeded all expectations. From the very beginning, communication was fast, clear, and easy. They sent daily photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind and let me see just how happy and well cared for my pup was. It’s clear they treated him like one of their own. I would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, loving, and attentive pet sitters! 🐾”


“She took good care of our Charmy and really took the time to be patient with her and ease her anxiety. Kristi really saved me since we were in a pinch since our sitter fell through the night before our trip!”


“First off I want to say Natalie and her family are awesome!!! We had a short trip down to the Keys and I had to leave our dogs with a sitter. This is the first time either dog has been with a sitter and my one female dog has a traumatic past so is very shy/skittish. Natalie and her family treated our dogs like their own and spent so much time with them, making sure they felt comfortable. Natalie even spent the time to sit with Koa (my female dog) and make sure she ate her dinner. Jackson (our male dog) had a blast playing with Natalie's kids and got all the attention his playful puppy self needed. I don't live in Florida full time but I know while I am down here if I need dog sitting, I will rebook Natalie to watch our fur kids again. Thanks so much Natalie for everything you and your family did to make Koa and Jackson feel safe, loved, and comfortable ❤️”


“This is my first time using Nicole and she was fantastic. Very communicative and put me at ease leaving Chloe with her. She sent multiple pictures and videos throughout her stay there and it looked like she was well cared for and had a great time playing with the other dogs there. Would definitely recommend her and will absolutely be using her again.”


“Another perfect experience with Elizabeth! I left my mini goldendoodle for the day today and she sent some great photos and videos of Dakota having a blast with her boys and fellow pups under her care. Looking forward to our next stay in January!”


“Raquel was fantastic! She made the whole experience easy and was very welcoming and I knew right away not only would my dog be safe and cared for but she would be loved! She kept me updated the whole time with wonderful photos and videos that really captured the joy and smile on my dog‘s face. Highly recommend Raquel!”


“Juan Pablo provided an amazing environment for my timid pup! He sent frequent updates and pictures and I felt comfortable knowing my dog was safe and well cared for. Would highly recommend and will definitely be booking with him again!”


“I cannot recommend Maisa highly enough! She boarded my pomsky, Romeo, for four days and she provided best-in-class service from start to finish. Her communication was above and beyond—she sent a milllion photos and videos, keeping me updated from sunrise to sunset. I never once had to wonder how Romeo was doing; I could see how happy and comfortable he was every step of the way. Additionally, Romeo absolutely adored Maisa's two dogs. They played well together and by all accounts there were no issues integrating Romeo into her home. It was clear she genuinely cared about Romeo and treated him like one of her own. Her attention to detail, warmth, and reliability gave me complete peace of mind. I came home to a happy, healthy pup, and I know he had a great time playing with her two dogs! If you're looking for someone who will love and care for your dog like family, look no further. I will absolutely be booking with her again!”


“Kristina was very good with my dog. I felt very comfortable boarding my dog with her, she makes sure to keep you updated and send pictures/videos throughout the entire stay. Also, besides a good pet sitter she is overall a good person, very reliable, and trustworthy”


“Skyler had a blast over at Camilla's place. During Skyler's stay she sent pictures and updates on her and when my husband and I picked her up she had so much energy! We will definitely use Camilla again!!”


About: I'm a dog lover with over 15 years of experience caring for pups. For the past 5 years, I've been a dedicated foster parent for South Florida Dachshund Rescue, welcoming over 20+ adorable pups into my loving home! Currently, my sweet dachshund, Luna (age 10!), keeps me company, and I previously had a Jack Russell who lived a happy life to 17. Being around dogs my whole life has given me a deep understanding of their needs. I can tailor walks to your dog's energy level and personality, ensuring they get the exercise and playtime they deserve. Whether your pup is a playful dachshund or a spunky Jack Russell, I'll treat them like my own – with love, patience, and respect. I taken care of dogs of all ages and have learned the patience of gaining a dogs trust with love and affection. I am self employed and have lots of free time through out my days all week Monday thru Sunday to cater all your pet care needs. My Luna is potty trained and moves around the house as she pleases. Our apartment offers tons of space and is a very peaceful and welcoming environment for any dog.

“Monique was the absolute best sitter for our adorable Mr Pickles! He had his own room the entire stay with lots of toys and activities. She even meditated with him once a day. It was so satisfying for us to know that our cat was happy and cared for while we were away on a 10-day trip. I can't think Monique enough for how wonderful she was with our family member!”


“Heather made our trip away from home so much easier!! She was super responsive, sent us updates and pictures multiple times a day. We were happy and comfortable working with her. We finally found someone we can trust with Capri :)”



“Ashley was absolutely wonderful sitter for our Royce. Our dog is senior 13 years old Doberman and he is very sensitive to the new environment. With Ashley he felt absolutely comfortable. Ashley was providing us daily updates and pictures of Royce relaxing at her beautiful waterfront backyard ☺️ We would absolutely recommend Ashley to take care of your pups with full confidence!!”
