“Sophia was amazing. From the moment we dropped off me and my husband both felt so comfortable and at ease leaving our baby with her. We were updated throughout his whole stay with pictures. He went on walks, and got to play with other friends. We will definitely be booking her again ❤️”
“Would definitely recommend! I know my girl had a great time here (apparently she loved the pool). Kayla/Richard provided photos throughout her stay and updated us on what she had been up to. Will definitely be using in the future!”
“I cannot recommend this dog sitter enough! She was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Not only did she take incredible care of my dog, but she went above and beyond by picking her up and even giving her a bath before bringing her home. Her patio is perfect for high-energy dogs, with plenty of space to run, play, and burn off energy safely. It was such a relief knowing my dog was getting exercise, attention, and lots of love while I was away. Communication was excellent, and it was clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. My pup came home happy, clean, and exhausted from all the fun she had. I would trust her with my dog again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and exceptional dog sitter!”
“Chelsee was wonderful with our girls! We have two one-year-old, very active dogs and she did not hesitate to take them on! She was very communicative during our trip and sent lots of pictures (which helped us to know how well they were being taken care of). We truly appreciate Chelsee and her care of our girls and would definitely entrust her with their care again !”
“David and Krysta were fantastic. They have a wonderful family and my dog felt comfortable almost immediately after I dropped her off. David kept me informed, on the daily activities, sent me pictures, and provided behavioral updates. David and Krystal responded promptly adjusting to me very short notice request to drop off Bree and when I arrived ahead of schedule to pick her up. I would highly recommend this family if you need assistance in caring for your love ones. Truly thankful for this experience as it was my first but will not be my last.”
“We are so grateful to have had Heather watch Rex while we were on vacation. She was so sweet and sent us pictures everyday. The whole family loved on him and he was well taken care of. He even barked and tried to go back in her house when we came to pick him up! 😂”
About: I have cared for and trained my dog, my mother’s and grandmother’s dogs. I have also provided a variety of personal home-care services to senior citizens, special needs children & nannied off and on throughout my early adult life. I love caring for and helping others. I substitute teach during the school year and I would love to care for pets during the summer time! It is my goal to at least work part time on top of another part time job! :) I have an apartment where I can keep pets for a short amount of time; we have a nice walking area and a dog park.
“Mary was an absolute doll. She kept me well informed of Kumas stay. She made sure to keep Kumas schedule to the dot & she helped me keep him from chewing all of his personal stuff for his crate. What a wonderful woman. I definitely recommend her, I’ll be booking her again for my holidays next year. ☺️☺️”
“Anna is incredible! ? While we were away, we didn’t stress once about our golden retriever being taken care of. She sent pictures daily and took such great care our little guy! If you want someone to spend quality time with your fur friend, Anna should be your go-to rover!”
“We left our three dogs with Gabrielle again for 10 days while we went on vacation, and she was absolutely amazing! She sent me daily pictures and updates, spoiled my dogs with so much love, and made sure their medications were given. With two blind dogs and one senior, I never have to worry because Gabrielle and her fiancé always take such great care of them. They truly are the best! Highly, highly recommend!”
“We can't thank Erik enough.. cause we were a pain in the neck. Switching days and extending our vacation and he was so understanding and polite.. he contacted us every morning with updates and new pics of our dog and our dog looked happy and healthy in every Pic.. we could tell when we picked our dog up he was very well taken care of loved the whole time he was with Erik.. we couldn't be happier and will use Erik everytime we vacation in the destin area.. so if you need a sitter in his area do yourself and your pet a big favor and contact Erik.. thank you again Erik”
“Wonderful family! Very attentive to Solo’s schedule and adherence to our house rules. Solo felt immediately comfortable in their home and loved his stay. Great communication and daily updates.”
“Cheryl was great! She sent frequent updates, took lots of pictures, and my boys looked happy. This was my first time leaving my boys with someone. I was not totally stress free because lets face it, I am a mom, but I was pretty dang close to stress free thanks to Cherly. She gave them exercise, relaxed with them, played with them, and overall gave them the best care and affection! She even helped me do some foundational and potty training for my 4 month old puppy. Thank you Cheryl for being the best dog mom and care taker!! I appreciate you so so so much!”
“Tami is awesome. Out three dogs love going to see her. She is welcoming and loving to the dogs. They have no apprehension and know that they will be well taken care of. She is so accommodating and gentle with the dogs. She will always get our first call when we need a sitter. Wonderful!”
“Carla and her family babysat our Teddy. From the minute he got in he was loved and cared for. Carla sent me frequent updates and pictures and I knew he is in good hands. Thank you!!!”
About: Ease your travel worries and entrust me with your Fur babies safe haven within my home and my very playful fur baby. Great respite care Have doggie door and fenced area to play . Work part time but plenty of doggie activities available. Fenced yard or indoor play area with doggie toys. My Belle loves to play with others. Fenced yard, large screened in porch with doggie door leading out to fenced area. Great for pretty days. Don’t kennel unless requested. Loving environment. I have a very playful Boston Terrier.
“Dana and her family are passionate animal lovers. They watched out Goldie for two nights. She sent pictures and videos and many updates. He came home calm and happy. I can tell his time in her home was fun and restful. We will be utilizing Dana's services again! Thank you, Dana for making Grizzly feel like one of your family.”
“Brittney was terrific watching our dog. She always responded in a timely manner, was completely flexible to any requests/concerns we had, and provided us regular photos and feedback of the visit. Our dog is fairly anxious and doesn't spend much time alone. Leaving him at a traditional boarding kennel causes a lot of stress on all of us. Brittney did great watching him, and he seemed to be very comfortable with her. We had a terrific vacation knowing he was in good hands while were at the beach. I would absolutely recommend her services.”
“Alexandra and crew (people, cats and a dog) were so welcoming that our two aussies were soon happy with their doggie vacation. They had very much built-in play time with the resident dog, and bonded with humans and animals alike in ways we'd not heard of from new contacts since Misty was a puppy (seriously, the pics and descriptions indicated a level of ease, happiness and playfulness we see with them at home). At pick-up time, they were glad to have us visit, but didn't seem completely ready to leave, We cannot imagine a better experience for our pups. If we manage to come to Miramar Beach again, we will definitely try Alexandra again.”
“Logan is great! She always takes great care of my dog and he leaves happy and exhausted! She is also very flexible with drop off and pick up times which is great. I will always go to Logan first if I need someone to watch my dog!”

“Kelly was amazing with my cat! Gave him lots of love and play time, I could tell from the initial meet-and-greet she would take great care of him. I’ll definitely be booking her for next time!”
“Crysta was AMAZING!! I had a unique request: help me get my three dogs to my wedding. Our dogs are a very big part of our lives and we knew our wedding wouldn’t be complete without them. We’ve always dreamed that at our wedding we would be surrounded by our family and friends and our dogs are the most important members of our family. Crysta made our wedding complete! She stepped in when no one else could and accepted the request without hesitation. I scheduled a meet and greet just to make sure she got to meet them first and we talked through our wedding timeline. I asked Crysta to be at our Airbnb for 4 pm, let them have a quick potty break, and take them about 15 minutes down the road to our venue, wait while we take some family photos with the pups, then bring them back to our Airbnb. Let me tell you, she exceeded my expectations TREMENDOUSLY!! She arrived out our house around 3:30, let them have a longer potty break than I asked for, and made it to my venue ONE WHOLE HOUR before the wedding started. She went above and beyond to make sure my dogs were cared for and got to and from the venue safely. I’m not from Destin, I was just in town for the wedding from Houston, but whenever I am back in town and need help with our dogs, she will be the FIRST person I call. She was so kind and friendly and she treated our dogs like they were her own. Words cannot describe how happy I am that I found Crysta. I think my dogs were just as happy, they loved her!! She sent me some cute pics too. Thank you so much Crysta!! You made our dream come true! ♥️”
About: Hello, My name is Britni and I'm a huge lover of animals! I currently have 1 dog, 2 cats, and 3 chickens! 🐕🐈⬛️🐔 I grew up with a father that trained bloodhounds for the Walton County prison and was taught the responsibilities of caring for animals at a young age. As a child I was fascinated to witness the strong bond between man and canine, and had a deep appreciation for the entertainment, safety, and companionship these animals provided. 💗 I began volunteering with the animals at the E. O. Wilson Biophilia center in Freeport earlier this year, and it has solidified that working with animals is a passion of mine. I am currently offering services to do drop ins or take your pup on a walk! Thank you for considering me to work with your beloved pet! 🐾💞 I am currently leaving a decade long career in resturants/hospitality behind, and following my passion of working with animals! I'm very excited to start this new chapter and can be flexible! I do not offer sitting in my home, but will always ensure to be mindful and bring a sharp awareness anytime I am working with someone's beloved pet.
“Madeline took wonderful care of my senior cat with daily drop-in visits while I was out of town. My cat doesn't like many people, but she warmed right up to Madeline. I was able to leave my cat at home where she is most comfortable and know she was well cared for. I highly recommend her and will definitely hire Madeline the next time I travel.”

About: Hi there! I’m an Alaqua Animal Refuge approved foster momma! I treat every animal like they’re part of my family, not just a booking. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away — whether that means structured walks, playtime, or plenty of snuggles on the couch.

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow routines closely and provide regular updates and photos so owners always feel reassured. My goal is simple — happy, comfortable pets and owners who feel completely at ease while they’re away.

I take the time to make cats feel comfortable, provide plenty of attention and playtime, keep litter boxes clean, and make sure they stay happy and healthy while you’re away. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your cat is being well cared for.

Definitely recommend Ashton for your pet sitting/drop in visit needs!”

About: I have always had a dog by my side so I have a lot of experience. In our household live with us, our 2 year old Belgian shepherd Dodge, who needs to be worked out daily and our 12 year old Labrador mix Bella.

“Sweet woman! She responded quickly, was sensitive to my situation and worked with me on the scheduling, drop off, pick up, etc. she gave me updates on my puppy and he seemed so happy and safe there. I will be back and highly recommend”
About: Our place or yours? We live in a 3/2 home.. Our back yard is fenced in and secure. We do have two doggies that love other dogs. I can come to your home also. This is all I do now, and I love it! I previously worked 5 1/2 years at a local animal hospital. I have been working with Rover 8 years and I love it! My husband is a sergeant at a local prison. Several local families I have pet sat for, for almost 11 years. I can come over and walk your dog(gies) each day, or check on them several times a day. Our pets are family members. We have two children that love animals as well. If you choose us, your kids will be treated with the love and fun they deserve. I have given medicine,diabetes shots, accommodated special needs doggies and special diets. If your baby needs their own space we have an empty room they can make their own sanctuary. I was a member of AmeriCorps for two years, here in Okaloosa county. They taught me more about helping local children and other local charities. Now, my only job is pet care. I do go to a few people's houses and let their animals out, play with them during the day. Other than that, I am home with my family and the pets. I try not to have too early drop offs or too late pick ups, as not to disturb our neighbors. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs to keep your pets company. If your dog needs to be crated we can do that also. Pet Care is my full-time job. I board dogs out of my home, it's like they are part of my family. I also go to other people's houses and walk dogs to check on their pets. I have three fenced in yards two are dedicated to pet sitting. Most of the fences are new and they are all secure. My two sons definitely help with my pet sitting business.
About: I grew up with our K-9 police dogs at home and have been dog sitting for military families in Germany, New Mexico and Florida for 5 years. I‘m a stay at home wife with 2 dogs and no children. Unfortunately not able to watch any cats due to me being allergic to cats. Also not able to watch dogs that aren’t potty trained due to carpet floors. I have a fenced yard and 2 friendly dogs to keep your dog company. I have crates available if needed and lots of toys and treats.
“Ashlea is very friendly and accommodating. fast to respond and let me know our fur baby was doing good. She also sent me pictures and videos of her throughout the day. Would highly recommend and will use again if I’m ever in this area in the future. Thank you!”
“Dana was so wonderfully accommodating when we were on vacation with our dogs. We messed up schedules for an outting and didn't have a place to take the dogs. She was so sweet with our sweet babies. So thankful for her”
“We brought our 6 month old puppy to the beach with us and she barked like crazy in her kennel. I reached out to Lucia on Rover and she was quick to respond. She kept our girl (Harper) for us at her house while we enjoyed a beach day. I know Harper enjoyed her time with Lucia and we are so so thankful for her! I could tell within 2 minutes of meeting her she was a safe space for our dog and I was able to enjoy the beach knowing Harper was in the best hands!! We will be using her every summer!”
“Carla is wonderful. I’m in from out of town and have a younger dog. She was up for the energy, and has a beautiful home and fenced in backyard. She has two older dogs of her own and her son is so sweet and tender with the dogs. She sent photos through the day, and kept my boy happy and out of trouble! This was my first rover experience and Carla has made me a believer. She put me at ease and showed me where my boy would be in her home, and asked questions I didn’t think to add in my “new mom overshare”. Truly cannot say enough.”
About: I've had a special place in my heart for dogs since I was a kid. I was the designated puppy trainer, groomer, and bestie for our family pups growing up. I have my own sweet mini labradoodle, Lainey, who loves company! I've helped with family and friends' pets my whole life, and I'm excited to have a new schedule these days that allows me to help out pet parents on Rover. I currently study from home, so I have plenty of time for your pup! I don't have any obligations away from home, so if your pup needs a little extra attention, feel free to say so, and I'll accommodate the best I can. I have a roomy apartment and a screened-in porch. When we're not on walks or at the park, my pup loves hanging out on the porch with the fans on for some fresh air (door to the inside kept cracked open). My apartment is toddler-proofed and safe, and I'm always around to keep an eye on your pup. We have plenty of chew toys, treats, and fun to go around :)
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a special place in my heart for dogs. I recently moved back to the U.S. from the U.K., where I spent time caring for pups while their families traveled across Europe or back to the States. Now that I’m settled, I’m excited to offer boarding and drop-in visits for your furry family members! My three daughters love helping out and are gentle, playful, and hands-on with feeding, playtime, and giving lots of love. We treat every dog like one of our own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home. Whether your pup is staying with us or just needs a quick check-in while you're out, you can count on us for reliable, loving care. We can’t wait to meet you and your dog! I’m home full-time and would love to care for your pet—whether it’s just for the day or a longer stay. I’m here to help in any way I can. I have a large backyard for playtime and three dog-loving daughters who enjoy spending time with our furry guests. We’re hands-on and love interacting with the dogs throughout the day. I also have a crate available if your pup needs it for sleeping or feeding—whatever makes them feel most comfortable!

About: I’ve been helping take care of animals since I was very young. I’ve been raised with dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, and birds! So if you have animals other than dogs or cats, I could help care for them too:). Currently I babysit twice a week, meaning my schedule is pretty open!

This means that my Mondays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays are open!:) I will follow any directions you give to me and I’ll make sure to give your pet some company when they need it! You pet is safe with me:)!
About: Many years experience as a loving pet-parent (cats, dogs, bunnies, guinea pigs, birds and fish). I have worked as a dog-groomer as well.

I currently do not have pets after losing my 22 year old rat terrier last year but would treasure yours like my own.

“Kelly handled my dog Stella amazingly. I live in a very dog heavy neighborhood and I adopted a senior German Shepherd with dog on dog reactivity due to early trauma in life. Kelly took my dog on a nice long walk for an hour and Stella was tired when I got home which made me so happy. I could definitely tell Stella loves Kelly. She even had her favorite ball in her mouth in the picture that Kelly sent me. Stella won’t even bring over her favorite ball to my parents so I definitely will be rebooking her again. I would highly recommend Kelly for anyone’s dog.”
About: I have been training dogs for 8 years, I have spent the past couple years working in rescue so I can also train during a visit! I am a retired veteran and have access to Eglin AFB! During a stay I can potty train and work on basic commands, during a stay or walk I can work on leash training! I have 2 dogs with medical conditions so I am experienced with medication administration and I also worked for a vet clinic! I’ve worked in rescue so I also do well with shy or “difficult to deal with” dogs! I am an online college student so I have free time to check in and make sure that let’s get proper outside time and exercise! **disclaimer** I am unable to accommodate overnight stays at this time due personal circumstances. I am still available for house sitting and will be with the pets during the day but will return home in the evenings. I understand that some dogs are jumpy or quick to run! I ensure that I am not careless and am always paying attention when opening doors or gates, and ensure that anything that could be harmful is put away!
“Josie was amazing, I needed a last minute sitter/walker due to my other one not working out and Josie was right there when needed! Atticus loved being with her. I would definitely recommend Josie and I will be continuing with her!”
“Madeline is actually THEE best dog sitter there is out there. She’s always super attentive, loving towards your four-legged bestie and sends all of the best pictures and updates during her visit. While you may miss your buddy terribly, you know they’re in safe hands with Madeline. Let your stress and anxiety dissipate with her services!”

I focus on building trust through patience, routine, and attentive care, treating every animal like my own.
About: I love 🐕 🐶 . We foster a lot. It's nice to get all the unconditional love from our precious pets. Dogs are man's best friend I'm a stay at home mom. I have a husband and 8yo twins living in our home. I am a great caregiver. I love what do I have a fenced yard and 2 of my own medium size rescue dogs. I am very responsible and caring for my clients and their furbabies.
About: I love all animals! I have owned a chameleon, cat dog, hamster you name it I’ve had it. I enjoy animals so I can ensure your baby will be taken care of as my own! My availability is from Monday - Thursday 6:00am - 3:30pm! :) Friday I’m completely available! :) If needed I can also do 10:00pm - 1:00am I had four cats and they had their own room!

About: Hi there! I’m an Alaqua Animal Refuge approved foster momma! I treat every animal like they’re part of my family, not just a booking. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away — whether that means structured walks, playtime, or plenty of snuggles on the couch. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing because I know how important peace of mind is when trusting someone with your best friend. Pet care fits naturally into my daily schedule because I own my own business and work from home. This allows me to provide frequent supervision, potty breaks, walks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I also have the flexibility to step away when needed for walks, drop-ins, or special care requests, so pets receive consistent care without long periods alone. I adjust care to each dog’s personality and needs — whether that’s structure and patience for puppies or extra comfort and gentle care for seniors. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow routines closely and provide regular updates and photos so owners always feel reassured. My goal is simple — happy, comfortable pets and owners who feel completely at ease while they’re away.

At my parents, I have chickens, rabbit, dogs, and a cat. I am always surrounded by animals and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I am currently a full time student. Also, I have a full time job. I will remain as flexible as I can be. I am definitely free all weekend and Monday through Friday by 3 p.m. till however late. I will not be providing any home services such as boarding. I provide the following services: dog sitting, dog walking, cat sitting or any other animal, and house sitting.
About: I grew up in a home with multiple pets and have hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages. This includes feeding, walking, grooming, playtime, and providing lots of attention and affection. I offer drop-in visits for both cats and dogs, including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, potty breaks, walks, and interactive playtime tailored to your pet’s needs. I understand how important it is to know your pet is happy and safe while you’re away, so I provide regular photo and video updates for peace of mind. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re gone. I work throughout the week I am an esthetician but my shifts are at most 6 hours. So I am able to stop by before and after work. I also am able to take breaks at work if needed. In my home, I create a safe, clean and welcoming environment for pets. I follow their usually routine as closely as possible. Whether it’s feeding schedules, walks or bedtime rituals to help make them comfortable and reduce any stress.
About: I have owned and taken care of animals since I was a young child. I grew up on a farm in Ohio where we had dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, horses and even a llama! As an adult, I have owned my own animals and they always live very happy, luxurious lives. Spoiled but healthy is key! I’m great at following directions, and proper care is at the forefront of my services! I currently work from home and am home pretty much 24/7 with the exception of appointments, errands and adventures so I have lots of time to give to not only my own animals, but animals in my care! I have a fenced in backyard perfect for a little doggie “zoomies” sesh, and a clean and pet safe interior of our home. I am home 24/7 so I am able to provide attentive and constant care to your pets, updating often with photos and even videos!

“We hired Ashton to walk our baby while we were out of town and she was staying with my elderly grandparents. She was amazing and shared plenty of pictures for every walk. We will definitely use her again next time we need someone.”

“Sophia was amazing. From the moment we dropped off me and my husband both felt so comfortable and at ease leaving our baby with her. We were updated throughout his whole stay with pictures. He went on walks, and got to play with other friends. We will definitely be booking her again ❤️”
“Would definitely recommend! I know my girl had a great time here (apparently she loved the pool). Kayla/Richard provided photos throughout her stay and updated us on what she had been up to. Will definitely be using in the future!”
“I cannot recommend this dog sitter enough! She was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Not only did she take incredible care of my dog, but she went above and beyond by picking her up and even giving her a bath before bringing her home. Her patio is perfect for high-energy dogs, with plenty of space to run, play, and burn off energy safely. It was such a relief knowing my dog was getting exercise, attention, and lots of love while I was away. Communication was excellent, and it was clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. My pup came home happy, clean, and exhausted from all the fun she had. I would trust her with my dog again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and exceptional dog sitter!”
“Chelsee was wonderful with our girls! We have two one-year-old, very active dogs and she did not hesitate to take them on! She was very communicative during our trip and sent lots of pictures (which helped us to know how well they were being taken care of). We truly appreciate Chelsee and her care of our girls and would definitely entrust her with their care again !”
“David and Krysta were fantastic. They have a wonderful family and my dog felt comfortable almost immediately after I dropped her off. David kept me informed, on the daily activities, sent me pictures, and provided behavioral updates. David and Krystal responded promptly adjusting to me very short notice request to drop off Bree and when I arrived ahead of schedule to pick her up. I would highly recommend this family if you need assistance in caring for your love ones. Truly thankful for this experience as it was my first but will not be my last.”
“We are so grateful to have had Heather watch Rex while we were on vacation. She was so sweet and sent us pictures everyday. The whole family loved on him and he was well taken care of. He even barked and tried to go back in her house when we came to pick him up! 😂”
About: I have cared for and trained my dog, my mother’s and grandmother’s dogs. I have also provided a variety of personal home-care services to senior citizens, special needs children & nannied off and on throughout my early adult life. I love caring for and helping others. I substitute teach during the school year and I would love to care for pets during the summer time! It is my goal to at least work part time on top of another part time job! :) I have an apartment where I can keep pets for a short amount of time; we have a nice walking area and a dog park.
“Mary was an absolute doll. She kept me well informed of Kumas stay. She made sure to keep Kumas schedule to the dot & she helped me keep him from chewing all of his personal stuff for his crate. What a wonderful woman. I definitely recommend her, I’ll be booking her again for my holidays next year. ☺️☺️”
“We can't thank Erik enough.. cause we were a pain in the neck. Switching days and extending our vacation and he was so understanding and polite.. he contacted us every morning with updates and new pics of our dog and our dog looked happy and healthy in every Pic.. we could tell when we picked our dog up he was very well taken care of loved the whole time he was with Erik.. we couldn't be happier and will use Erik everytime we vacation in the destin area.. so if you need a sitter in his area do yourself and your pet a big favor and contact Erik.. thank you again Erik”
“Cheryl was great! She sent frequent updates, took lots of pictures, and my boys looked happy. This was my first time leaving my boys with someone. I was not totally stress free because lets face it, I am a mom, but I was pretty dang close to stress free thanks to Cherly. She gave them exercise, relaxed with them, played with them, and overall gave them the best care and affection! She even helped me do some foundational and potty training for my 4 month old puppy. Thank you Cheryl for being the best dog mom and care taker!! I appreciate you so so so much!”
“Dana and her family are passionate animal lovers. They watched out Goldie for two nights. She sent pictures and videos and many updates. He came home calm and happy. I can tell his time in her home was fun and restful. We will be utilizing Dana's services again! Thank you, Dana for making Grizzly feel like one of your family.”
“Brittney was terrific watching our dog. She always responded in a timely manner, was completely flexible to any requests/concerns we had, and provided us regular photos and feedback of the visit. Our dog is fairly anxious and doesn't spend much time alone. Leaving him at a traditional boarding kennel causes a lot of stress on all of us. Brittney did great watching him, and he seemed to be very comfortable with her. We had a terrific vacation knowing he was in good hands while were at the beach. I would absolutely recommend her services.”
“Alexandra and crew (people, cats and a dog) were so welcoming that our two aussies were soon happy with their doggie vacation. They had very much built-in play time with the resident dog, and bonded with humans and animals alike in ways we'd not heard of from new contacts since Misty was a puppy (seriously, the pics and descriptions indicated a level of ease, happiness and playfulness we see with them at home). At pick-up time, they were glad to have us visit, but didn't seem completely ready to leave, We cannot imagine a better experience for our pups. If we manage to come to Miramar Beach again, we will definitely try Alexandra again.”
“Logan is great! She always takes great care of my dog and he leaves happy and exhausted! She is also very flexible with drop off and pick up times which is great. I will always go to Logan first if I need someone to watch my dog!”
“Jennifer is AMAZING! She is kind, responsive, and very understanding! She takes great care of my pup and treats him like her own when he’s there! Highly recommend and will always use her if she’s available!”
“Betina was amazing with my dog Griff! He’s a senior dog and needed lots of extra care during his stay and she was so kind and accommodating. I highly recommend Betina if you’re looking for quality care for your fur babies!”
“Ashlea and her family were so amazing with Teddy. We haven’t left him with anyone other than family in years. Teddy fit right in with her cats and dog. I was such a great experience we would definitely use her again!!”
“Allison was very attentive with my dog Jupiter during her stay at Allison's. She also texted me updates on how Jupiter was doing throughout my absence. Will definitely use her services again in next trip!”
“Molly and Mousse had a great stay with Tammy and her family. They were spoiled rotten. I didn't worry once about them while I was gone because I knew they were getting great care. I will use Tammy again in the future.. Great experience for me and for my dogs.”
