“Sharii B. is the BEST dog sitter ever. Our fur baby Tiffany loves ❤️ going to her home and spending time with her. She loves hanging out in the yard and soaking up the sun and in the evening, the cuddles 🥰”
“Would highly recommend Kristin! She sent a lot of updates and my dogs seemed to be having a great time the entire time they were in her care. Everyone in her family is a dog lover so there was no shortage of attention to go around. Looking forward to using her again in the future!”
“Joshua was on the ball from inquiry to pick up. Excellent communication and care of our 13yo golden doodle. Their dog is a sweetie and Rosie loved the company. We're already rebooking! Thanks for taking such great care and giving Rosie the best possible experience away from us!”
“Haley was absolutely wonderful! We had to extend our time with her unexpectedly, and she accommodated us willingly—even on short notice. Her flexibility and kindness made a stressful situation much easier, and we’re so grateful for her support.”
“Winston was very well cared for over his extended stay with Janet. He seems to have enjoyed the company of the other dogs under her care during his 16 days with her. She is very good with all the dogs and I would use her again for short or long stays. Very reliable and trustworthy.”
“We love Elena & Meiru! This is the 2nd time we’ve booked a stay and they are so great with my corgi. He loves their big backyard and gets lots of love when he’s there. We will definitely be back whenever we go out of town!”
“Awesome vacation for our fur baby! Cece kept us updated each day, with pictures and videos of him playing and having a great time with his new friends. When we picked him up, she gave us a “report card” of his activities and a recap of his fun times. Exceeded our expectations! I felt like we left our fur baby with family. Highly recommend Cece!!”
“Laura and Ron were fantastic pet sitters! It was just 2 nights but our little guy Rudy was comfortable with them right away. The fact that they watch one pet at a time was a real plus for us as Rudy does not always do well with other dogs. The daily videos were fun to watch and made us feel good even when we were away. They took special care of Rudy who is 15. We will definitely be using their services again. Thanks guys!”
“Absolutely amazing!! I boarded my dog over Christmas, and I couldn’t have asked for better sitters! Great communication and pet care, great area (next to a dog park! And plenty of other sweet dogs to play with!), very kind! My puppy Reyna had an amazing time and I would 100% recommend to anyone looking to board their dog on their own doggy vacation!”
“Maxine was fantastic with our baby boy Rambo! We booked last minute stay because we wanted to provide our other baby with one last peaceful weekend before we said goodbye as she crossed over the rainbow bridge. Maxine knew this and was so compassionate in her communication with us and kept our spirits high by sending the most hilarious pictures of Rambo in tons of different costumes and scenarios. We’re so grateful that we found her and had her as our sitter, she made a very difficult time in our lives much easier by taking such great care of Rambo, which allowed us to give our sweet baby girl the best weekend send off.”
“Windell took good care of our 11 year old diabetic tortie. Our trip was delayed a day due to hurricane Helene, so he was very accommodating and communicated well.”
“she is very sweet i love that she includes her kids they are also very sweet she is very patient with my anxiety filled baby’s and also communicates very well this is my second time going to her and will continue to go back as long as i can !”
“Trevor is amazing, I’ve left my two large dogs with him numerous times and he always does a fabulous job. He updates me regularly with great pictures and my dogs come home happy every time.”
“Ashlee is always kind, quick to respond and makes my fur baby feel loved and safe. Whenever I travel is so nice to have peace of mind that my dog is safe in her care. Thank you Ashlee for being the best!”
“Shelley did an amazing job. She was quick with responses and accommodating. While I was out of the country she made sure to send me updated pics of my pups to ensure me that he was doing well and having a great time. I will definitely request her for boarding again in the future. I came back home to one happy dog.”
“My husky was very happy with her visit-- she clearly was well cared for and had a ball with the other dog in the household. Appreciate the timely communication with Estefany as well.”
“I had an amazing experience with Iyorima this past weekend! I had to travel for a wedding I was in, and she took such great care of my dog, Rose, the entire time. She kept me updated with plenty of pictures and videos, which gave me total peace of mind. Rose looked happy and well taken care of the whole time. She was a huge help, and I’ll definitely be using her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“I can’t even begin to explain how GREAT Marcus was. During our most stressful times regarding our living arrangements, Marcus quick responses and last minute requests made this transition much more easier. We needed him for a couple of days until our apartment was ready, our apartment kept being delayed due to construction and inspections, and our dog’s stay kept getting longer and longer. Marcus had no problem accepting our last minute request and he made us feel comfortable in knowing that our special dog was safe and sound. Marcus will definitely be our to go Rover guy and Mango (our dog) absolutely loves him! Thank you Marcus for making these stressful times a little less hectic.”

Lynne and Michael provided such great care of Zada! The pupdates were great each day! Zada didn’t want to leave when it was time to go so I knew she had a great time with her new friends! Thank you for taking such great care of our pup! Would highly recommend to anyone!!!
We had an amazing experience with Delaney and couldn’t be happier. From start to finish, she was fantastic with our two dogs, Atlas and Apollo. She sent plenty of fun photos and videos along with regular updates, which truly gave us peace of mind while we were away for the weekend. It was so clear that both dogs were comfortable, well cared for, and genuinely enjoying their stay. Atlas loved the attention and playtime, and Delaney was incredibly patient and sweet with Apollo, who can be a bit more skittish. When we picked them up, they were happy, relaxed, and it honestly seemed like they adored her. Delaney made it so easy for us to enjoy our trip knowing our pups were in great hands. We will 100% be using her again in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative sitter.
Kory took great care of my pup! I was sent photos and updates almost every day. Communication was fast and friendly. Notes regarding his behavior and needs were taken. It was clear my pup had a super fun time and was well looked after. I would certainly leave my dog in their care again!
Marcus is great with Ziva, my Belgian Malinois. He is very accommodating and I can tell she enjoys her stay! He sends updates and is always available to let me know how she is doing or answer questions. He is our go to local sitter after moving here this year. I am very careful who I leave with her with- her last sitter was our go to for 5 years before we moved to Tampa. I am glad we found him!
Hannah was an absolute delight in taking care of my baby. She sent me numerous photos, and he was thoroughly happy and safe under her care. Her spacious backyard is a dream come true for dogs that require ample exercise. Hannah was incredibly responsive and attentive, keeping me updated on his well-being while I was away, which I genuinely appreciated. Moreover, her prices are unbeatable. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend her services.
I booked with her over the Thanksgiving holiday, and I really appreciate how willing she was to take care of my dog, Canelo, while I was out of town visiting family. She did an excellent job keeping me updated with pictures and texts, and it gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing he was doing well. She took great care of him, and I would definitely book with her again!
