“Just a wonderful experience for my girl Fenway. My work keeps me away for long stretches and it has taken “many” Rover caregivers and she is one of the best.”
“Rachel was a godsend. She took my 90 lb. puppy for 3 days after I was injured. Aldo and her dog played for 3 days straight, she said, and he came home exhausted, clearly happy and in love with Rachel and her daughter. I cannot possibly give her a high enough recommendation. Of course I will hire her again.”
“We can’t say enough good things about Cynthia — or as Lambeau knows her, Grandma G! From the start, she treated Lambeau like family. Lambeau got to play outside, cuddle on the couch, and even enjoy a little yogurt (her new favorite treat). Cynthia kept us updated and clearly adored spending time with her. It’s such a relief knowing our pup is in such kind and caring hands. We’re so thankful for Grandma G and can’t wait for Lambeau’s next stay!”
“Tyler was wonderful to work with! Great communication. Our dog is very anxious, but Tyler and her family made him feel right at home, which really put my mind at ease. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
“Blanca put both Pepper and me at ease immediately. Not only is she knowledgeable, but was friendly, accommodating and responsive. I feel so glad to know my pup was well loved while I was away!”
“Bingo had a great time with Rochelle. I was worried about leaving him with someone he didn't know but she was great with him and he adjusted quickly and seemed happy and content. She sent daily pictures and videos!”
“Adriana was fabulous! She was so easy to communicate with. She sent regular photos and answered any questions I had. Upon arriving at her place for drop off, she immediately put both me and our dog at ease. She sought to understand our dog and all her quirks to make her time away from us sweet. Our dog for whatever reason likes to sleep in her bed only if it is against a wall and Adriana made sure even that happened. Our dog was so relaxed and happy she got home further confirming she was well taken care of while we were away from her.”
“So very thankful to Randy for watching our furbaby for us! They have the perfect yard for him to run around and we felt completely at ease with the frequent videos and picture updates.”
“I was really happy leaving my dog with Em and will continue to bring my dog under her care in the future. I was really comfortable after meeting her and so was my pup.”
“Edward is a “Dog Whisperer”! He was GREAT with my dog Milli. Kept me informed of her well being and what a wonderful time she had with him. I would recommend him to anyone that wants their dog treated with loving care! Thank you, Edward! I would give you 10 stars but the scale only goes up to five.😊👏🏽👍🏽”
“I cannot express how much we appreciate Emma and Adam. This was absolutely the best pet sitting experience we’ve ever had. We travelled to Jacksonville to catch a cruise ship and boarded our fur baby for five days. I am always nervous about leaving my dog, but Emma made every step of the process as wonderful and reassuring as possible. My dog was in a loving home with great communication, wonderful pictures, and a very responsive sitter. We were able to thoroughly enjoy our cruise knowing our dog was in such capable and caring hands. I highly recommend Emma as a pet sitter!”
“Crystal is amazing! My dog had a wonderful time with her. Very good at keeping me updated with pictures. I would definitely recommend her and I will be requesting her again.”
“Tannia and her husband were absolutely amazing! My pup Rori loved every minute of the stay! Tannia sent me updates and pictures everyday. Rori already wants to go back and play with her new friends! Will definitely be using Tannia and her husband again!”
About: Hello! My name is Lindsay and I’ve been working with rescues around Jacksonville for the past 20 years. I started at humane society and worked with a few locals rescues since and have been around all kinds of dogs and temperaments. I am beginning my dog walking and check in business and will expand to dog boarding for special dogs that can’t always go to traditional Boarding. I understand a lot of dogs have special needs from anxiety, not being friendly with other dogs, fears of storms and fireworks, and even medication treatments. I have personally fostered hundreds of dogs from puppies to moms to seniors and am acutely aware that sometimes a walk or check in is a bit more. I understand the guilt of a dog parent not being able to check in on their babies or give them enough time during the work week and I’m here to help with that. I look forward to creating a consistent client base of wonderful dog families that may be overlooked or unable to be cared for by the standard walker. I am happy to take your dog to parks to socialize safely, handle vet appointments better than your husband or even just reassure you that you are doing your best as a pet parent. While not yet training certified, I have completed training with several trainers and fosters and can help with the basics and/or continue your style of training for additional reinforcement. Above all your dogs happiness and health is the most important. And a happy dog is much better at home to help you with your stress too 🥰 I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies and becoming someone you can rely on when needed. Check out my socials for a history of me interacting the doggos! Sunwoofcaraoke on Facebook and instagram I am full time caring for the doggos! This will be my full time job and only other bookings will affect the time availability. I am available 24/7 for regular bookings and understand some of our dedicated third shifters need check ins too! I care for your pets the way you want me to; however I am a force free believer. I will not use shock collars or prong collars for walking. For safety reasons I will not use retractable leashes either. I have plenty of spare harnesses and leashes for walking if needed. I also believe creating a bond of trust and leadership with your dogs is important. I ensure your pet doesn’t get overheated and takes breaks as needed. Weather is funny in Florida and I will make sure you pet can walk, potty and play safely.
“Randy always has the best time hanging out with his buddy Pepper and the whole family! The daily updates bring me so much comfort, especially when you have a dog with health issues. Thank you for always taking such wonderful care of my baby”
About: I do not currently have a dog, but I have lived with plenty of dogs in the past! Some roommates had dogs. My most notable experience is with my mothers' 6yr old Goldendoodle, whom I no longer live with. She is a burst of energy, and well-mannered. I visit her to walk/play, take her on trips, and visit dog parks. I would love to meet your doggos and provide care during the week/weekends, or extended pet-sitting services! I am currently unemployed and looking to make this my full-time job! I am available always! A good timeframe for me is 8am-8pm, but I am willing to work outside these hours if needed! DOGS: I can do boarding, I own a home near Murray Hill, with a fenced backyard! I know lots of great walking spots & dog parks! I can also arrange play-dates with other dogs to keep them company during their stay, or in general! My cats are great with dogs, but I can keep them separate if needed. I can also come to you for feeding/playtime/walks/park days! CATS: I can board up to 2 individual cats in separate rooms within my home, (or 2 cats from same home in one room, etc.). For now, I'd like to avoid boarding cats freely throughout my home, as one of mine can be picky, and I would not want to cause additional stress for your kitty(ies)! But, I can set them up in their own room and check on them throughout the day, and/or let them roam while mine are separate. I can also come to you for feeding/playtime!
“This was the most peaceful and joyful experience leaving our fur baby for so long. Charlayda made it so pleasant for us sending us pictures and videos every day updating us with Daisy. I will definitely used her services again and she’s very recommended. Our Daisy had so much fun.”
“Wendy was absolutely amazing! She treated my fur baby with so much love and care! Would highly recommend her anytime as well as I intend on using her services in the future!”

“Risa was so easy to work with! Her response time was quick, scheduling was easy, and she did everything asked of her. My cat seemed happy when we returned and our place was in great shape. Would definitely recommend!”
“Steven did a great job communicating with me before, after and during the visit. He was very patient with my old boy,Domino giving me great peace of mind. Will definitely book Steven again when the need arises.”
“★★★★★ Macy was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of both of my dogs while I was away, checking in three times a day and spending quality time walking, feeding, and interacting with them so they felt comfortable and secure. When Khaleesi unexpectedly became sick, Macy went above and beyond and took her to the emergency vet for me, which gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was out of state. She kept me fully informed throughout my entire trip and was dependable, caring, and attentive. I came home to two happy, well-cared-for dogs. I would absolutely trust Macy with my girls again and highly recommend her!”
“I’m so grateful I found her! She is so great at communicating and always keeps me updated, which gives me so much peace of mind. I’m especially thankful that I’m able to use her for the month that I’m here. She has been so kind, reliable, and wonderful to work with. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets! 🐾🤍”
“Ashley was great. This was our first time leaving our kitty and using a pet sitter. We were anxious leaving her but Ashley gave us detailed updates every visit and pictures. She also answered any questions we had. We will definitely request her services again.”
“My babies love Patrick, it's so nice to see them happy when he comes and visits my boys! He is always on time and creates play time with both of them!”
“Jeweliana and Riley were amazing over the holidays, checking in and socializing with our cat. I appreciated all the updates and prompt responses. Thanks again guys. See you next time”
“Kelly took wonderful care of my dog while I was gone for 5 days! Great communication and loved all the pictures! I would definitely rebook with Kelly the next time I go out of town!”

“Holly is such a great sitter! I messaged her this morning asking if she could stop by while I was out of town due to an issue with our automatic litter box. She responded super quickly and created peace of mind knowing my cat is in good hands. Thank you so much from Brandy and I!!”
About: I’ve been caring for cats for around 15 years and truly enjoy spending time with them. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, play with, clean litter boxes, and give their cats plenty of love and attention while they’re away. I understand that every cat has a unique personality, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or a senior needing extra patience, I’ll treat them like they’re my own and make sure they stick to their normal routine.
“There’s a reason Evan has a perfect rating. He was able to take care of my cat with only 12 hours notice. It was an unexpected/emergency trip so there was no advanced planning but Evan rolled with it, found everything - food, litter, the house key (!) It really was last minute. Evan even loaded and ran the dishwasher for us so that we didn’t walk into a disaster Highly recommend Evan!”
About: I have been caring for dogs and cats for over 27 years. Having grown up with pets and assisted neighbors, friends, and family since childhood, I’ve developed a naturally calming presence that animals truly respond to. I specialize in making pets feel secure and relaxed, which is especially helpful for animals that may get anxious when their owners are away. My care is thorough and heartfelt. I’m experienced with everything from high-energy play and long walks to the "spoiled" side of pet life—plenty of back and belly rubs, baths, and quality companionship. I also have extensive experience with cats, including maintaining strict feeding schedules, refreshing water, and ensuring litter boxes are kept perfectly clean. Whether your pet needs an active buddy or a quiet, gentle soul to keep them company, I treat every animal with the same love and attention I give my own.
About: Whether your cat needs fresh food and water, litter box care, playtime, medication, or simply someone to keep them company while you're away, I'll provide patient, loving care tailored to their needs. I have a special place in my heart for shy, anxious, and senior cats and know how important it is to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I'll make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and cared for in your absence. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your feline family member is happy and in good hands.
“Kara was incredible and we’ll definitely be booking her again! She was on time to each check in, sent lots of pictures, and sent very detailed updates. My pup was excited to have a visitor during my time out of town and I’m so glad I chose Kara to drop in with Oliver.”

“Katya was great! She stayed in contact and progress updates on how Smokey was doing! Smokey came home exhausted from all the fun and in great shape. Highly recommend! Thank you!”
About: I have had the joy of having dogs and cats as my companions my entire life! Including 2 painted turtles and fish. I've always had a love for animals and nature. I absolutely enjoy meeting new pet friends of all kinds. I have been pet sitting here in Jacksonville for 3 years now and have had the pleasure of caring for parrots, fish, cats, and dogs. A client of mine has a cat that needs medication as well as my own dog with allergies. I've done pet sitting for my own veterinarian's small farm with ducks, chickens, mini ponies, and mini donkey's as well. I now basic training as my own dog attended puppy classes at the K9 Obedience Club of Jacksonville. In my younger years, I worked in a veterinarian clinic for 2 years. I took a different path and started a career in the medical field in a sleep lab and am now getting back to what I truly love. Pet care! Either way, I have a nurturing nature and will treat your pets just like my own! I am a stay-at-home mom currently. I pick my daughter up from school weekly and am unavailable from 1pm-2:30pm due to the commute. Otherwise, I'm available to care for or play with your pet any other time during the week. I am available anytime on the weekends. I have a large fenced in yard with two friendly dogs for your pets to play with. I crate my own dogs and can do the same for yours if need be. I give my own dog medication for her allergies and can do the same for your own. I never leave outdoor play unattended as I do have a pool. If feeding time is needed, I separate all so as to not cause issues. I give lots of love and attention!
“Laura was great. I was nervous about leaving Bella and she assured me she would be fine. Bella warmed right up and they had a great first day. I received pictures and videos of how Bella was doing throughout the day.”
About: When it comes to dogs, I’ve done it all! I’ve cared for puppies, seniors, high-energy pups, couch potatoes, and dogs who need a little extra love and support. No matter their age, size, or personality, I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up in a family of dog lovers, I learned how to care for, train, play with, and understand dogs from an early age. As I got older, I became the go-to dog sitter for friends and family. Before long, coworkers began trusting me with their pets too, thanks to my experience and genuine love for animals. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away I work remote and can be very flexible not only with the time you need me but with the location. I’m available 7 days a week. I have a fenced yard and 1 senior dog named Junior. Junior has been around a plethora of other dogs in his 15 years and is very friendly. Don’t his age discourage you, he still loves to run around and play. I can easy crate your dog if needed. I have a fenced yard and 1 senior dog named Junior.

“Ellie is always happy going to and coming home from Emma’s, which says everything. She’s comfortable, excited, and clearly trusts her. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing Ellie is in such good hands.”

“My doggy had a wonderful time with Charlayda, and it was so nice to hear from her every now and then!

Very happpy with her service and communication”

“Tannia and Chris went above and beyond my expectations when caring for my senior girl. They are very accommodating and their knowledge of animals is impressive. They took alot of time listening to my concerns/instructions and followed them carefully. Thank you guys for loving on and caring for my baby.”
About: I have taken care of dogs all of my life & LOVE them. I work from home in a professional job, so I have plenty of time to take care of animals during the day and I take my dog out on four walks a day. I also have a good sized, enclosed yard. I am extremely hyper vigilant, so your pet will always be taken care of with me. I treat dogs like children and My Mika is extremely spoiled. She gets along with all other dogs and cats. I currently work from home full-time, so I have plenty of time to care for animals in my home. I take my dog out on four walks a day and I have a good size enclosed yard. I have a fenced yard with sod. I don’t leave my dog out there for long - only to go to the bathroom because she prefers to be inside with me and right now it's too hot. I will accommodate whatever needs your dog has. I have a fenced front yard as well and my dog likes to be on the porch people/dog watching.
About: Dogs have been a part of my life since I got my very first puppy at six years old. From that moment on, I wasn’t just “around” dogs, I grew up learning how to understand them, love them, and communicate with them. What truly makes me different from other sitters is that I care for dogs emotionally just as much as I do physically. Your dog won’t just be fed, walked, or watched, they will be loved, seen, and heard. To me, dogs aren’t “just animals.” They are family members with feelings, personalities, and needs. I make it my priority to make every dog feel safe, appreciated, and understood, giving them the attention, affection, and companionship they deserve. My goal is for your pup to not only be cared for, but to have an experience they’ll remember, one filled with joy, comfort, and connection. Over the years, I’ve trained all my own dogs and even worked with professional trainers so I could learn the right techniques and bring them home. I’ve gained hands-on experience with: • Potty training • Door manners & boundaries • Feeding routines & food discipline • Socializing with other dogs I’m fully committed to the well-being of every dog I look after, and I genuinely look forward to meeting new pups and adding more furry friends to my life. When your dog is with me, they’re treated like my own , with patience, structure, safety, and endless love. I’m currently home from college for the entire summer and pet care fits perfectly into my schedule because I have plenty of free time and no other jobs or major commitments while I’m here. I spend most of my time at home with my family, so I’m available throughout the day to give your dog the attention, love, and care they need. Any small activities I have during the day usually last only 1–2 hours, and I’m very flexible and great with communication. I make sure to plan around my bookings so your pup’s routine always comes first. Your dog will have someone who is present, reliable, and fully available to care for them. When I care for a pet, I don’t see them as “just a dog.” I see them as a member of the family, just like I would treat a younger sibling. That mindset guides everything I do. In the morning, feeding them is my first priority, just as I’d make sure any family member eats. I also make sure they get outside for bathroom breaks right away, because their comfort always comes first. I genuinely enjoy being outside, no matter the weather, and I love taking dogs on walks. Fresh air and movement are a gift, so I make sure each pup gets regular walks, bathroom breaks, and plenty of time outdoors. When a dog signals that they need to go out, whether they walk to the door, ring a bell, or give me a look, I don’t make them wait. I respond right away. I keep each dog’s routine consistent, especially feeding times and potty schedules, because structure helps them feel safe. When we’re out walking, I sometimes take different routes so they can experience new sights and smells. I never walk dogs off-leash outside of fenced areas for safety reasons, both for the dog and others around us. At home, I like to include dogs in what I’m doing throughout the day. I don’t believe in locking them away unless absolutely necessary. If I’m cleaning, folding clothes, or moving around the house, I let them follow me so they feel involved, loved, and part of my world. I also have a secure patio play space where dogs can run around freely while staying safe. My goal is always to make every dog feel cared for, seen, safe, and appreciated, like they are truly part of the family while they’re with me.
“Krystal and her family are amazing, Tommy loved her and her kids and got excited to see her. I would 100% recommend her and I will be contacting her when we come back to visit Tampa!”

“Steven was an absolute joy to work with today and absolutely LOVED on our dogs Scout and Seven. Very professional, reminded me i needed poop bags (just moved into a new neighborhood), and knew just how to handle our dogs untrained behavior. Poor Seven got pooped about 15 min in and Steven even just carried him home. We have fallen in love and DEFINITELY will be using Steven again!”

“Amazing would be an understatement. Maria’s love for dogs shined through from day one. My pet adored her, probably a little too much! Maria went above and beyond to help sit/walk my dog. She followed my instructions to the tee and helped bring packages in while I was away which was an added bonus to her awesomeness. Will definitely book with her in the future and encourage others to as well.”

About: As a toddler until I was 10, we had dacshaunds. I loved them so but when you discover them after they have passed, it leaves an impression on you. This type of impression has led a part of my life to educating, advocating, and nursing but a dog owner, I won't become. I've lived with the problem Doberman-Rottweilers, smaller schnauzers, cutesy Italian Greyhound AND I pet most every pup I see (with permission, of course). I've had and have cats, from 2 months to 24 years old. I would love to visit and care for the cats and dogs if my community. Reach out! I'd love to meet your pet baby. I work virtually 4 days a week and have a lot of flexibility. This allows me the ability to watch pets, and care for my own. I have 4 indoor cats and a myriad of outdoor cats. I play with them, feed them and provide then with their favorite snacks: Churus. Cleaning up the box during each visit is a given considering cats need a neat space. For dogs, I would make sure to have bags to get their waste and keep snacks to make sure their given something for good behavior.

“Just a wonderful experience for my girl Fenway. My work keeps me away for long stretches and it has taken “many” Rover caregivers and she is one of the best.”
“We can’t say enough good things about Cynthia — or as Lambeau knows her, Grandma G! From the start, she treated Lambeau like family. Lambeau got to play outside, cuddle on the couch, and even enjoy a little yogurt (her new favorite treat). Cynthia kept us updated and clearly adored spending time with her. It’s such a relief knowing our pup is in such kind and caring hands. We’re so thankful for Grandma G and can’t wait for Lambeau’s next stay!”
“Tyler was wonderful to work with! Great communication. Our dog is very anxious, but Tyler and her family made him feel right at home, which really put my mind at ease. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
“Adriana was fabulous! She was so easy to communicate with. She sent regular photos and answered any questions I had. Upon arriving at her place for drop off, she immediately put both me and our dog at ease. She sought to understand our dog and all her quirks to make her time away from us sweet. Our dog for whatever reason likes to sleep in her bed only if it is against a wall and Adriana made sure even that happened. Our dog was so relaxed and happy she got home further confirming she was well taken care of while we were away from her.”
“I was really happy leaving my dog with Em and will continue to bring my dog under her care in the future. I was really comfortable after meeting her and so was my pup.”
“Edward is a “Dog Whisperer”! He was GREAT with my dog Milli. Kept me informed of her well being and what a wonderful time she had with him. I would recommend him to anyone that wants their dog treated with loving care! Thank you, Edward! I would give you 10 stars but the scale only goes up to five.😊👏🏽👍🏽”
“I cannot express how much we appreciate Emma and Adam. This was absolutely the best pet sitting experience we’ve ever had. We travelled to Jacksonville to catch a cruise ship and boarded our fur baby for five days. I am always nervous about leaving my dog, but Emma made every step of the process as wonderful and reassuring as possible. My dog was in a loving home with great communication, wonderful pictures, and a very responsive sitter. We were able to thoroughly enjoy our cruise knowing our dog was in such capable and caring hands. I highly recommend Emma as a pet sitter!”
“Crystal is amazing! My dog had a wonderful time with her. Very good at keeping me updated with pictures. I would definitely recommend her and I will be requesting her again.”
About: Hello! My name is Lindsay and I’ve been working with rescues around Jacksonville for the past 20 years. I started at humane society and worked with a few locals rescues since and have been around all kinds of dogs and temperaments. I am beginning my dog walking and check in business and will expand to dog boarding for special dogs that can’t always go to traditional Boarding. I understand a lot of dogs have special needs from anxiety, not being friendly with other dogs, fears of storms and fireworks, and even medication treatments. I have personally fostered hundreds of dogs from puppies to moms to seniors and am acutely aware that sometimes a walk or check in is a bit more. I understand the guilt of a dog parent not being able to check in on their babies or give them enough time during the work week and I’m here to help with that. I look forward to creating a consistent client base of wonderful dog families that may be overlooked or unable to be cared for by the standard walker. I am happy to take your dog to parks to socialize safely, handle vet appointments better than your husband or even just reassure you that you are doing your best as a pet parent. While not yet training certified, I have completed training with several trainers and fosters and can help with the basics and/or continue your style of training for additional reinforcement. Above all your dogs happiness and health is the most important. And a happy dog is much better at home to help you with your stress too 🥰 I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies and becoming someone you can rely on when needed. Check out my socials for a history of me interacting the doggos! Sunwoofcaraoke on Facebook and instagram I am full time caring for the doggos! This will be my full time job and only other bookings will affect the time availability. I am available 24/7 for regular bookings and understand some of our dedicated third shifters need check ins too! I care for your pets the way you want me to; however I am a force free believer. I will not use shock collars or prong collars for walking. For safety reasons I will not use retractable leashes either. I have plenty of spare harnesses and leashes for walking if needed. I also believe creating a bond of trust and leadership with your dogs is important. I ensure your pet doesn’t get overheated and takes breaks as needed. Weather is funny in Florida and I will make sure you pet can walk, potty and play safely.
“This was the most peaceful and joyful experience leaving our fur baby for so long. Charlayda made it so pleasant for us sending us pictures and videos every day updating us with Daisy. I will definitely used her services again and she’s very recommended. Our Daisy had so much fun.”
“Wendy was absolutely amazing! She treated my fur baby with so much love and care! Would highly recommend her anytime as well as I intend on using her services in the future!”
“Another wonderful experience with Alysia! Dante comes back happy and even slightly calmer somehow. I will use Alysia anytime I can to watch my little guy.”
“I’m so grateful I came across Daisy and her family. They watched my dog over the weekend and took amazing care of her. It was clear she was treated like part of the family, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Daisy kept me updated, and I could tell my dog was happy and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Richard was the best! He went above and beyond all of our expectations. We were a little bit nervous at first because this was our dog’s first stay away from us, but Richard eased all of our nerves! He surpassed all our expectations. Not only did he take amazing care of our dog as if he was his own, but also sent lots of photos/videos throughout the week so that we never felt too far away. He even noticed some allergy hotspots and gave him a soothing bath to help. We would highly recommend Richard!”
“We had a great experience and would absolutely recommend him! He went above and beyond for Coke, especially considering we needed help during a pretty stressful situation. He picked Coke up directly from the animal hospital for us, made sure he received all of his medications as instructed, kept a close eye on him while he was recovering, and kept us updated throughout his stay. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Coke was being well taken care of while we were away. He was dependable, communicative, and handled everything we needed without an issue. Coke came home happy and doing great! We’re very grateful for the care he received and would definitely feel comfortable booking with him again in the future. 😊”
“Lindsey and her family always take such great care of our baby! They’re incredibly accommodating and flexible and such kind humans. Our dog loves every minute with them and it gives us such peace of mind.”
“Our Doberman, Ana, has stayed with Debra multiple times and has received excellent care and attention every stay. Ana has some major health issues now and I was worried about leaving her. Debra was so kind and made sure our dog was comfortable and happy. She went above and beyond and sent us pics and updates every day so we could relax and enjoy our cruise knowing that Ana was okay. So thankful to have found Debra! She is amazing!!!”
“This was Jasper's second time staying with Andrea and David and he absolutely loved it. They took such great care of him. I got daily updates with lots of photos and videos. They are wonderful sitters.”
