“It was my first time using this Rover app for my puppy and I have to say Blanca was amazing with my puppy Nori. Definitely will be calling her again . She was very loving towards her and my puppy seemed very happy.”
“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”
“Katya was beyond amazing. She took fantastic care of my dog, provided daily updates, and kept my mind at ease the whole time. She was so kind and flexible when I had travel issues. She clearly works hard to make this a great experience for both owners and the pets. Thank you so much, Katya!! Highly highly recommend”
“My chihuahua and I haven't been a part in forever. When my family and I went on a one week trip, I knew I had to find the perfect dog sitter. My dog is picky and I was worried, but she was immediately comfortable at crystals house. She is so kind and attentive, and became best friends with my chihuahua. She was comfortable around everyone in the household and very well taken care of. Will certainly be using her services in the future and am beyond thankful for her and her family. Thank you SO much”
“I can't accurately express how much of a relief it is knowing that Freyja is with Rachel and her family (human and furry) when I have to go out of town. She gets all the activity and attention she needs, which is quite alot. Rachel is the very first person I contact when I know I'll be unable to watch Freyja, she should be yours as well.”
“She was very attentive, always responded quickly, and kept me informed the entire time. Most importantly, my dog Milo came back happy and very calm. I would definitely leave him with her again!”
“Anna took great care of my dog while I was on vacation, she sent me updates, and my dog definitely came home happy. I can tell she had a good time and was well taken care of! This was my dogs second time staying with Anna. Thank you!”
“Christine was amazing! Accommodated a last minute boarding for my 2 year old pug (Luna) — which was a life saver! She sent frequent updates of her snuggling with Luna, playing with her, and even napping with her. Highly recommend 😊”
“Rosangely and her husband Anthony were great with Kita! They kept me informed the entire time with text updates and photos, and my pup returned home happy and healthy. I'm sure she will be excited to go visit her babysitters again soon!”
“We feel so lucky to have found Laura. We do not ever worry about our dog when she is in Laura’s care. The photos and videos that Laura constantly shares prove that she is treating our dog like her own every single day. We have been back server al times and will continue to book with her anytime we need.”
“Susan was AMAZING! She took great care of our pup, Nala. She sent tons of updates and photos while we were gone and made sure Nala had all the attention and affection she needed! Susan is a great choice for your next trip out of town! She'll give your dog all the love. She even sent Nala home with some homemade dog treats! ❤️”
“Unfortunately i can only rate out of 5 stars. If i could rate them out of 100 or 1000 then i would. Great family and perfect sitters. Would use them again in the future if the need ever arises. Took cute pics of my dogs with their pup and updated us on everything. My big pit mix baby loved them so much he even slept with their oldest at night. 1000/1000 thank you!”
About: I’ve been a dog lover all my life and until recently been an owner of a small dog for 16 + years but unfortunately have lost him about a year ago to old age. Now I have retired and looking for something to do with my spare time. If you are looking for someone to take care of your small pet in a safe , cosy environment. You are at the right place. I am retired as I mentioned earlier and would be taking care of your fur baby like I took care of my own fur baby for all those years I have a nice fenced yard for your little fur baby to run around and have fun. I don’t like to keep your pet outdoors all the time in Florida heat like most places . They will be indoors with me. I will walk your baby at-least a couple of times on my cosy little neighborhood with least amount of traffic and noise
“We are so grateful to Anolan for taking such amazing care of our two dogs, Maisy and Hendrix, this past weekend while we made a last-minute trip to New Orleans for the birth of our niece. From the very beginning, Anolan was incredibly kind, patient, and responsive. She sent us updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing our doggos were both happy and in good hands. Maisy and Hendrix absolutely loved her (and her sweet dog, Benji, who they got to go on walks and play with!), and they were clearly spoiled with love and treats. Anolan’s boyfriend was also great with them, and it was heartwarming to see how comfortable and relaxed our pups were in their care. We ended up being delayed in picking them up, and Anolan was nothing but understanding and gracious about it. We would 1000% recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter. Thank you again, Anolan—you’re the best!”
“Vigi and family were wonderful and my Harley was nothing but happy with them. I will be booking for any future boarding and daycare as long as they are available. Highly recommend them for your fur babies!”
“My girl loved staying with Carl & Em! She felt right at home and I had peace of mind knowing she was being well taken care of and loved while I was away for a few days. 💕”
“Tannia and Chris are by far the best sitters I have ever had! My dog doesn't typically do well with other pups, but their dog Domino is an angel and they get along beautifully. They also had no problem handling my older dog's many medications. Tannia is extremely responsive and sends so many cute pictures, which really helps put my mind at ease when traveling.”

“Holly was awesome with our four Kid-ttens. The 2 youngest really love spending time with Holly on the patio. They always had food & water top off. Their litter boxes were cleaned out. We were very p)eased with the quality of her service. We will call on Holly again. We highly recommend her to watch over your babies too”
“Rebekah was absolutely wonderful, and I could not have asked for a better pet sitter for my kitties while we were away for five days. This was our first time using her, and she even offered to come by beforehand to meet the cats. That thoughtful gesture really helped me feel comfortable leaving her in our home and trusting her with my kitties. From the very beginning, her communication was thoughtful and reassuring. I especially loved the photos and videos she sent each day. She somehow manages to take better pictures of my cats than I do, and they were the cutest, funniest little snapshots of them being sweet, playful, and adorable. It truly felt like getting little highlights of their day. I was on a cruise and did not have access to my kitty cameras, so those updates meant a lot to me. Her messages, pictures, and videos made me feel completely confident that my cats were happy, safe, and well cared for. One of my cats is a little shy and usually hides when someone new comes into the house. Rebekah was so patient and gentle with him, and by the last day he had fully warmed up to her. He came out from hiding under the table and even let her pet him, which was really special to see. She also went above and beyond by tidying up and showing the freshly cleaned food and litter areas in her updates each day. I really appreciated seeing how much care she put into every visit. It gave me such peace of mind knowing my cats were not only cared for but genuinely enjoying their time with her. I would absolutely trust Rebekah again and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable pet sitter.”
“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.”
“We've used Alivia twice now and will definitely keep booking her whenever we need a sitter. She's super sweet, very communicative, and loves her furry friends. Our cat loves her and she sends us the cutest pictures when we’re away. It's such a relief knowing our kitty is in such good hands!”
“Kimberly walked into a difficult first time situation to manage my brother's pet cat's improperly maintained litter box. My brother is in assisted living,(Florida) and does have cognitive issues. He, by mistake discarded the scooper. Kimberly was in her rights to quit right there. Instead she informed me of the problems and opted to try one more visit. I, (NJ), saw to it to provide items needed. Who could ask for a better second chance. Kimberly is most definitely a caring professional. Hopefully it goes better going forward. I am prepared to at some point look to get Nicholas (the cat), adopted, but for now I thank Kimberly for her great efforts.”
“Karen is amazing. Played with my two cats, showed up on time. Followed instructions to a "T", and my girls really appreciated her company and care. Made going out of town easy and stress free. I'll definitely book again when I need cat care, I cannot stress how amazing of an experience this was!”
“Kara was so great! She helped me in such a short notice and my dog Boone was taken care of. She sent pictures, updates, and communicated well. I would definitely recommend and will hopefully get to use her services in the future!”
“I can’t think of a more loving and capable caregiver than Brittany! Brittany did an amazing job with my Scarlett! My dog took a liking to Brittany immediately and she just connected with her so well. Brittany was extremely communicative, friendly, and very professional. We will be using Brittany regularly in the future for all our pet caregiving needs, and we would recommend her to anyone!”
“Sara was awesome with my cat Blaze! She sent pictures and updates and was very understanding when we had to cut our beach trip short because of a hurricane. Will definitely be using Sara again in the future!”
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.
“Another great experience with Scott! I couldn’t ask for someone better with my dog and more reliable. Will definitely be rebooking with him in the future, thanks Scott!”
“Risa has been wonderful! I had to leave my Rocket for a short trip and she took care and attended to his needs while I was away. Will definitely book her again. :)”
“Sandra did a great job caring for our cat. She was comfortable giving his inhaler and spent lots of quality time with him during each visit. She also kept the litter box tidy and took care of things when he wasn’t feeling well. We’re grateful for her help and that we came home to a happy and well-loved cat!”
About: When I turned 20, I went to the pound and got my first dog Ellie. In the past years, she made me learn responsibility and love. I am currently unemployed because I am focusing on school! So I pretty much have open availability to spend time with your lovely pet and more! my biggest thing is quality time and love with your fur baby! We will be adventurous and find new scents around the neighborhood. I will also make sure that they get their playtime, get well fed, and clean up after any messes!
“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: Hi! I’m Christine, a professional pet care specialist with over 15 years of experience working with dogs, cats, and small animals. In my early 20s I worked as a vet tech until I opened my own pet grooming salon. I operated that salon for 12 years before transitioning careers. My background includes professional grooming, animal handling, pet behavior, and pet first aid. I provide dependable, compassionate care and understand that every pet has unique needs. I hold certifications in pet CPR & First Aid. In 2025 I received certification in feline safety through the Intellectual Groomers Association. My current work-from-home position provides me with a flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Because I work remotely, pets are rarely left unattended and receive consistent supervision, companionship, and care throughout the day. When pets stay in my home, I do my best to maintain the routine they’re accustomed to so they feel comfortable and secure. I follow each pet’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, medication requirements, and any special instructions provided by their owner.
“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.”
“Tyler was SO great. She sent updates throughout the day and was so sweet towards my pup, Ted! He had such a good time with the other pups that were there and he came back happy and TIRED. Thank you Tyler, for being so accommodating and caring. Ted will definitely be back! ❤️🐶”
“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!”
“Susan is a very experienced & loving dog mom. She made me feel comfortable that my 2 were away from me & enjoying themselves. I got lots of pics & updates & even a personalized box of homemade treats fresh from her kitchen! Thank you Susan!”
About: I’ve loved animals since I can remember! I’ve rescued every pet imaginable at one point or another! I’ve volunteered at FCNMHP for over 10 years and I’m very active in finding every pet a forever home! I’ve worked at Publix for over 21 years and I am currently a manager on the south side of Jacksonville. I have a flexible schedule throughout the day and I’m able to take breaks when needed. I am free most evening during the week and weekend. I’ve never met an animal that I didn’t fall in love with! Every animal deserves a full bowl of food and water, lots of pets, an unconditional love. There’s no such thing as an ending to the game of Fetch!
“Elizabeth was amazing! I had a early drop off schedule with varying pick ups times, and she was extremely flexible. Elizabeth took great care of our puppy! We will be using her again!”
About: 💖🐾Currently booking June and July💖🐾 I’m a fully insured sitter with 10+ years of experience caring for pets of all kinds—furry, feathered, and scaly. 🥰 I connect especially well with anxious pets and have practice with senior care and medication administration. My approach is calm, patient, and focused on making every pet feel safe, understood, and loved. Pet care is my full-time job, and I am available everyday from 7:00 AM–9:00 PM. 🐾 Before Booking 🐾 ✨ A meet & greet is required for all requests so your pet can get comfortable with me—either in your home or mine. ✨ Pricing may occasionally be adjusted after the meet & greet depending on care needs, travel distance, scheduling demands, and overall booking complexity. I’m often able to offer reduced rates for clients located closer to my home/service area. Any pricing adjustments will always be discussed transparently before booking confirmation. 😊 ✨ Drop-Ins & Walks: I always do my best to keep drop-in times consistent, though a little flexibility is sometimes needed and greatly appreciated. ✨ Housesitting: Pets must be comfortable being left alone for 4–6 hours at a time. My goal is to maintain your pet’s routine as closely as possible, but I will step out to care for other clients. If your animal requires constant care or cannot be left alone for that length of time, we can chat about extended visits or alternative services that may be a better fit. If you’re unsure what service to book, just send me a message and we’ll figure out the best fit together! 💕 Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, walks, or quiet companionship, your pet will always feel safe, supported, and right at home.

About: With many years of experience and a home full of kindness, we welcome every furry guest like family. After our own senior dog crossed the rainbow, our hearts have even more room. My mom and I work part-time, which means one of us is almost always home. Your pet will never feel lonely here — just cared for, watched over, and loved like family. I follow every instruction carefully and always respect each pet’s unique needs. Animals are like kids — they all have their own personality, comfort level, and routine. I make sure they feel safe, understood, and cared for at all times.
About: I’ve had pets all of my life. I grew up with large dogs and currently have 2 small breed dogs. I have had older pets and puppies too. I take amazing care of my pets, and will for yours. My husband and I own a house with a backyard and lots of space to walk dogs around the neighborhood. I am a stay at home mom and am available to watch your dogs all day and provide the best care for them. I’m always here. I have a gated backyard with 2 small breed dogs. They are allowed inside and can go outside anytime to potty. If needed, I can crate your dog and we have a puppy room inside the house where they can sleep.
About: As a pet owner, I know how important it is to have your furbaby well taken care of when you're not around. My two pups have since passed away and while I'm not ready to add another to the family, I would love to puppysit yours! I can administer meds, feed, walk, and play with your dog. I also have four young children who adore animals and would shower your pup with love and endless playtime. When your dog stays with us, it becomes part of the family. I believe it should be that way because that's how I would want my dog taken care of when I'm out of town. I am currently a stay at home mom so my time is flexible and I am home a lot. Your dog won't be lonely and will get plenty of pets, cuddles, and playtime. When your pup visits us, they become part of the family. So rest assured they will get plenty of attention, walks, and love throughout the day.
“We needed someone to care for our puppy while we came to town for a funeral and Beverly provided great care! She was very communicative and reassuring as this was our first time using this service!”
“Alejandro and Mariana were very flexible whenever my work schedule changed and always took great care of Kodi every time they watched him! I would definitely recommend them!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12. I had a family dog for 18 years and I currently have a small fur baby of my own. We go for walks and he enjoys lots of cuddles. I have the luxury of being home often but I know how stressful it can be to coordinate care for your pets and finding someone you can trust. I’m here to help alleviate that stress and care for your loved ones like my own! I currently work from home and make my own schedule so going for walks and play time and scheduled feedings are easily scheduled with my flexible availability I take long walks often.

“James is awesome. He did a meet and greet with both of my dogs prior to the walk and was understanding when I was late due to traffic. He has a calm demeanor and understands the importance of giving an anxious dog their space. My dogs did great on a walk with him, and he made sure that they were safe. My anxious dog actually approached and sniffed him after the walk, and even took some treats from him which is a big deal for her. I highly recommend James to anyone!”
About: Growing up, I cared for two wonderful dogs who taught me responsibility, patience, and companionship every day. One was a playful miniature poodle, and the other was a loyal cocker spaniel, each with their own unique personality and energy. Spending time feeding, walking, grooming, and playing with them helped me develop a deep appreciation for the joy dogs bring into a home. Today, I own a golden doodle that continues to strengthen my love for working with and caring for dogs. I’m currently working part-time, so there is flexibility throughout the week to care for your pup! I am also available on weekend days. I have a fully fenced in yard at home and have had crate trained dogs. I ensure that there is time to explore the outdoors!
“Maria is great! My dog loves her, she is always happy to see her for her walks. Maria refills my dogs water and is prompt with her walks. You will be very happy with Maria!”
“My dog Lucy enjoyed her walk with Rebekah so much! It was great how Rebekah communicated everything with us during and after the walk. I will be booking her again and I highly recommend her for any type of dogs. My dog is 60 lbs and she handled her very well.”
About: I have lived with and been exposed to pets of all kinds and ages. Almost all animals seem to love me, and I love all animals! I am currently unemployed and just finished my senior year at Carbondale Community High School, so I will have plenty of free time to take care of all pets. I am very flexible and tend to learn quickly, so any special care or routine needs for your pets don't have to change while you're on vacation or traveling!
“Stormee was so great with Duke! It was such a relief knowing he was in good hands because he can be a handful with his reactivity, but I felt confident in choosing Stormee knowing she has a reactive dog herself so she is all too familiar with the challenges / management. She was so sweet at the meet and greet too. I appreciated the mid work days photos and report card. I’d highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have also cared for my own cat for many years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities, and I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, happy, and on their normal routine. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, love, and care. I’m a full time college student as of right now I have a job at my college that is very flexible to where I can make my own hours. Since it’s summer I don’t have classes so I’m free every day of the week! The safety and comfort of every pet is my top priority. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully to maintain their pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care needs. In a client’s home, I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and affection. I am patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s behavior to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand the trust that comes with caring for someone else’s pet and home, and I take that responsibility seriously.
“Thank you so much, Aaliyah! We were very happy with your service and the way you took care of Soda. We felt completely at ease during our absence thanks to your presence with our daughter. We truly appreciate your kindness and professionalism. We highly recommend you!”
About: I grew up with beagles, and absolutely adore animals but I don’t own any at this time. I’ve had experience with both cats and dogs of different ages, breeds, and sizes. I did foster a young pup in college, and have also taken care of a few elderly doggies who needed extra TLC. Whoever your pet is, they will be loved and cared for just the same! I’m working part time during the week, so I will be able to spend plenty of time taking care of your pet(s) around my schedule! My schedule is pretty flexible before and after work as well. I leave everything as I found it in the house. When I have house sat and dropped by houses before, I’m always sure to be mindful of my surroundings and ensure it’s tidy. I also make sure I ask where any cleaning supplies are just in case there is an accident. I have found that each dog also has their own routine and favorite spots in the house, so I like to observe their behavior and follow them! I am there to cater to your pet, and as their sitter I am on their schedule, not mine.
About: My husband Melvyn and I love dogs and were dog owners for many years. We provide lots of love, walks and playtime. Currently, we do not have our own dog, but promise to make your pet feel like he's part of the family. We have an empty nest, so there are no children in the house. I work full-time, but my husband is home during the day. We doggie sit for family members whenever we can. I prefer to do a meet and greet so your dog will feel at home when he/she is dropped off to us. This also provides the opportunity for owners to discuss the dog's preferences. We will provide daily pictures as well. Please be sure to bring along your dog's favority toy and food. I am a virtual teacher and work from home. My husband is retired. This provides us the opportunity to be with our furry friends all day! I have a fenced in yard. I love taking long walks, too. We keep plenty of toys for our own pets as well as our furry guests.
“Kimberly is great with my animals! She follows all care instructions. She is very responsive. She has sat for me when I needed a last minute care for my dog. My normally very shy cat likes her. She normally runs and hides whenever anybody comes in. Not with Kimberly. I highly recommend her! I would gladly use her again!”
About: Fur friends are enjoyable to be around, whether they are my pets or yours. When I am caring for pets, I am especially aware of their individual needs, their body language and their need for physical activity. My pets can tell me through their body language when they have had a good or bad sitter experience. When I care for your pets, I want your fur family to tell you that they had a good sitter experience. Happy wags and meows! During the week, I work from home but I have flexibility to drop in to check on your pets. I am also able to take them on walks or run around the back yard, if that is what they need. My desire is to provide a safe environment for your fur family when you are unavailable to care for them. I am trustworthy and intend to demonstrate that character trait to you. I treat others the way I want to be treated, including pets.
About: Meet Sarah — A Lifelong Animal Lover You Can Trust Animals have been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember. From dogs and cats to rabbits and even flying squirrels, I’ve had the joy of caring for all kinds of creatures — and that deep love for animals is exactly what I bring to every sitting experience. At home, I share my days with three beloved pets of my own: Molly, my sweet 14-year-old chocolate lab; Tom, my spirited 11-year-old Catahoula leopard lab mix; and Harley, my 3-year-old cat. Living with senior dogs has given me firsthand experience with the extra patience, attentiveness, and gentle care that older pets need — and I genuinely cherish that slower, more intentional bond. I’ve been providing in-home pet sitting for many years, stepping into people’s homes and making sure their furry family members feel safe, loved, and right at home — because they are at home. I adapt completely to each pet’s personality and routine, whether they need quiet companionship, active playtime, or simply a calm and reassuring presence. I’m comfortable administering medications and have experience caring for pets with special needs. Overnight stays are no problem — I know how much it means to have someone truly dedicated watching over your pet through the night. When you leave your dog or cat in my care, you’re leaving them with someone who sees pets as family. I can’t wait to meet yours. 🐾 During the school year, I teach culinary arts at the high school level and coach volleyball in the fall and lacrosse in the spring — so my schedule is full and purposeful. But my love for animals doesn’t take a season off. Weekends, afternoons, and evenings are when I’m most available, and summers and holiday breaks are when I’m all in. Those stretches are my busiest and most dedicated pet care seasons, and I genuinely look forward to them. When I’m with your pet, I’m not squeezing it in — I’m fully present and happy to be there. When I step into your home, my goal is simple: your pet shouldn’t feel like anything has changed. I follow your routines, respect your rules, and bring the same warmth and attentiveness I give my own animals. Whether that means quiet companionship on the couch, a walk around the neighborhood, or simply making sure a nervous cat knows they’re safe — I meet each pet where they are. Your home stays tidy, your pet stays comfortable, and you get updates so you can actually relax while you’re away.

“Rosangely and her husband Anthony were great with Kita! They kept me informed the entire time with text updates and photos, and my pup returned home happy and healthy. I'm sure she will be excited to go visit her babysitters again soon!”
“Unfortunately i can only rate out of 5 stars. If i could rate them out of 100 or 1000 then i would. Great family and perfect sitters. Would use them again in the future if the need ever arises. Took cute pics of my dogs with their pup and updated us on everything. My big pit mix baby loved them so much he even slept with their oldest at night. 1000/1000 thank you!”
“Vigi and family were wonderful and my Harley was nothing but happy with them. I will be booking for any future boarding and daycare as long as they are available. Highly recommend them for your fur babies!”
“My girl loved staying with Carl & Em! She felt right at home and I had peace of mind knowing she was being well taken care of and loved while I was away for a few days. 💕”
“It was such a pleasure meeting Joseph & family! They took good care of our fur baby and kept us updated with pictures and text throughout his stay. We will def be booking again! ❤️”
“Cynthia always takes such great care of my girl! My dog is rather fearful and skittish, but she has no problem spending time at Cynthia’s and even snuggles with her. I will always book with her for our vacations!”
“Gabriella was great! She sent pictures and videos throughout of them cuddling on the couch together and playing at the park! Very responsive to messages too. My dog seemed super comfortable with her and her place was clean! Would definitely love to use her again!🧡”
“Michelle was wonderful, very responsive and went above and beyond for my dog while she was there. Bella is super sweet and plays very well. My dog was wiped out when she got back with a big smile on her face. Will definitely book again.”
“This was our fist time boarding with Chris and his wife and our two pups had a great time! We hope to use them again in the future! Thank you for taking such good care of our babies!”
“Gabrielle is very nice. First she was very understanding about my arrival time as the traffic accidents in Georgia added hours to our ride to Florida. She was very attentive to my pets to make them feel at home during their stay. The looked wonderful when I picked them up. She did a great job caring for Barb and Lou.”
“She is super sweet, very communicative which I really appreciate. My dog was super happy, like at home. We felt so relieved that our dog was in good hands. Thank you so much, we will definitely go back to her every time we have to go out. Thank you so much again :)”
“Theo had another terrific stay! Thank you so much for taking such good care of him. The daily photos were greatly appreciated. He really seemed to enjoy his walks and your company. We’ll be back!”
“I was very grateful that she accepted my last-minute request. My dog seemed happy and comfortable when I picked him up. She responded quickly to messages, provided updates when I asked, and was easy to communicate with throughout the stay. I would definitely use her services again.”
“Emma is truly an amazing dog boarder, and I cannot recommend her enough! She took such incredible care of my golden retriever, Cooper, and treated him like he was her own. From the very beginning, she was extremely kind, communicative, and flexible, which made the whole experience completely stress-free for me. She kept me updated with messages and photos, and I could tell Cooper was happy, comfortable, and well loved the entire time he was with her. It’s not easy trusting someone with your dog, but Emma made it effortless with her warmth, professionalism, and genuine love for animals. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and accommodating to watch your pet, Emma is absolutely a 10/10. I will 100% be booking with her again!”
“Hannah is soo wonderful and accommodating! Most importantly, I could tell by all the pictures that my dog was very happy while boarding with her. Extremely thankful we found Hannah and highly recommend her”
“Madison is a true lover of dogs. We have never had a sitter and she was phenomenal! Will definitely come back to her as needed. Very compassionate about animals. SUPER CARING AND HELPFUL.”
