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.
“I needed a person who was going to welcome my fur baby into their home and treat them as it was their own pet. Daisy went above and beyond the call of duty with Gizmo. Daisy is from now on the person I will contact to care for my dog.”
“Christa was wonderful! She was very responsive to texts and sent a lot of photos and videos. We felt comfortable leaving our puppy with her and are so glad we did. We highly recommend her!”

“It was my first time hiring a sitter for my two cats and my first long trip away from them. I was so nervous but Deborah was very caring and patient and made me feel comfortable very quickly. I appreciated her quick responses and detailed daily updates with photos. My boys seemed very relaxed with her...she even got my very finicky one to eat while she was there which is pretty much a miracle!”
“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 don’t even know where to start. I had to go to the hospital unexpectedly and was panicking about my cats and my apartment. Illeana responded right away and stepped in when I really needed someone. She met me at the hospital to get my keys and took such good care of my babies, sending me pictures and updates that gave me so much peace of mind. But what she did beyond that completely shocked me. I came home to a clean apartment. She took out all my trash, cleaned my kitchen, washed dishes, bought bowls for my cats, left cleaning supplies and even flowers on the counter. She showed me so much kindness during one of the hardest weeks I’ve had. I have no family or friends in this country so she’s the only one I had during that time. She is compassionate, trustworthy, and truly goes above and beyond. I will never forget what she did for me and my cats. If you’re thinking about booking her, please do. She’s amazing.”

“Carter was extremely responsive and communicative while I was away for 5 nights. I was so fortunate to have him House Sit my cats and I am already planning to use him again. He's fantastic.”
About: As a cat owner myself, I understand that every cat has a unique personality and routine. I have experience feeding, cleaning litter boxes, playing, and making sure cats feel safe and comfortable in their own home. I know that some cats love attention while others need space, and I’m happy to care for them at their own pace. I’ll treat your cat with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own.

“AMAZING SERVICE! Randy and Mimi took care of our dog like he was their own. He had such a good time and was able to socialize and meet new dogs. We would recommend them to anyone looking for an amazing doggy day care/boarding for their dog!”

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!
“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.”
“Marisa and her family are the best! We felt totally comfortable leaving Zoey in their care. Our anxious dog had a great day. We.look forward to more visits! Thanks, Marisa, for the pictures and videos throughout the day. We appreciate you!”
“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.”
“Lana was responsive and warm from the start, took care of my baby at the last minute for us and it went great. First time using a dog sitter but we will be repeat customers.”
About: I’ve been around many kinds of animals my whole life, including dogs, turtles, rabbits, fish, and guinea pigs. My childhood dog, Zoey, was an older German Shepherd who really shaped my understanding of and love for animals. I grew up in a very animal-loving family where caring for pets was seen as an important part of building responsibility and character. I’m very comfortable with big dogs and used to handling high-energy personalities. Now as an adult, I have my own dog, Aries, a sweet and playful 3-year-old Pitbull Lab mix, who I’ve had since she was a puppy. Being a dog owner myself helps me understand how important it is to fully trust the person caring for your pet. I’ve personally used Rover and had great experiences, and I’m excited to provide that same level of care, communication, and reliability to others. I genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that means going on walks, playing, or just cuddling and keeping them company. I’m currently studying biology and hope to work in the veterinary field one day, so caring for animals truly means a lot to me. I am currently just a student, so I have plenty of time for your pets! I'm home the majority of the time, except for my saturday classes and I'm available any day of the week! If I'm never not home either my sister or father will step in. My home has a big open first floor where dogs are free to hang out and make themselves comfortable. They’re also welcome to sleep in my bedroom if they like being close at night. I don’t allow pets on the couch, but they’ll always have their own comfy spots to relax. I do have a yard, and while it isn’t fenced, I use a secure leash setup so dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time with supervision. I also use my open garage as a great shaded space for my dog to relax for 2-3 hours a day. I supervise our Ring Cameras frequently. Fresh water and a comfortable resting area are always provided.
“I’m super grateful she was willing to take my pup on such short notice — her flexibility made things a lot less stressful for me. I would’ve felt even more at ease with a few updates or photos during the day, just to stay in the loop. Thanks again for helping out!”
About: Hi, I'm Lydia, and I'd love the opportunity to care for your pet! I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. Whether you're at work, on vacation, or just need an extra helping hand, you can count on me to provide dependable, attentive, and compassionate care. I've cared for and fostered dogs and cats of all ages—from playful puppies and kittens to sweet senior pets. Through that experience, I've become comfortable administering medications, caring for anxious or reactive pets, and adapting to each pet's unique personality, routine, and energy level. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, chasing toys, snuggling on the couch, or simply having a calm companion, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I'm also a registered nurse, so providing attentive care, following detailed instructions, and staying calm in unexpected situations are second nature to me. I work three 12-hour shifts each week, which gives me several full days to dedicate to pet care, including walks, runs, drop-in visits, daycare, and overnight stays. My goal is simple: to care for your pet as if they were my own while giving you complete peace of mind. During every visit, I'll send detailed updates along with plenty of photos, so you'll always know how your pet is doing. I pride myself on being punctual, communicative, and reliable, and I would be honored to earn your trust. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family! I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule that will allow me to take some last minute requests! I work 3-12 hour shifts a week which provides me with a lot of free days!

I will care for your pet like they were my own! I promise to be professional and courteous while entering your space to care for your pet if I'm dropping in. If they are staying with me-I also have a beautiful back yard overlooking a pond for some good supervised sun bathing, fetch, or good sniffs.
“Kaitlyn and Andrew were great with Ruthie. From pics, I could tell Ruthie had a blast and was well taken care. Very accommodating with drop off and pick up times”

“Wendy was super awesome to accept my last minute booking for my baby's evening care. I have never left my Squiggle with a pro-sitter, so I was apprehensive about the experience - but I had to try it out, knowing I would probably need sitting services in the future. Wendy was on time picking up my little guy, and even went above and beyond when she went by the pet store to pick up Squiggy's fave brand of food at my request. Thanks, Wendy. She was responsive, quickly answering when I messaged to check on my baby. She even sent me pictures, and although he looked miserable BC he missed me (we are VERY attached), I was comfortable knowing he was well cared for while with Wendy. I had appointments until later that night and Wendy was very accommodating and dropped him off right when I asked, and she gave me a full update via Rover - right down to how many times Squiggy made poo. That is some serious awesome. And although very excited to see me and be home, Squiggy wasn't traumatized I left him with a stranger. Now that he has met Wendy, I wont hesitate to book her again, should we need her. Squiggy made a new friend, and I am now totally cool with Wendy watch my little guy again.”
About: For 17 years I have been taking care of dogs (really animals of all kinds, shapes, and sizes) both of my own and for others too. There has never been a point in my life that I have not had a dog. Right before I was born, my parents got a beagle that I grew up with. I started taking care of her at a young age (I’d say even later than 17 years ago, just not notable enough to count for it) when she needed special baths for her skin condition, treatments for her ear infections, and catering to her broken arm after getting run over by a car. Before she passed, we got a husky. I helped train (on and off leash commands), groom, trim his nails, and learned how to speak husky. He was a very loved hand full. I learned so much from him because of all the trouble he made from running away, eating glue, chewing up the entire house… you name it, he did it. Through these lessons I have learned not only how to retain my patience and grace, but also how to be a beacon of support and reservoir of love for all fur babies. Nevertheless, when he got older, I gave him shots for his hip dysplasia and ensured he was most comfortable until the day my sister and I sat in the room with him on his way up to doggy heaven. Today, I have a great pyrenees who is a bundle of joy. Again, I have trained her, happily cater to her persistent anxiety--especially with thunderstorms--ensure she is exercised, groomed, and feeling loved. Currently I am working part-time and most of this is at home doing online research for school. Pet care is my daily routine anyways and I have a partner who often stays home to take care of our pup. He certainly supports me needing to fill my cup with more love in my heart from interacting with animals. Nevertheless, I love to help people out. I find that having a good, stable community is the most precious thing we can have as people. It takes a village and I am happy to be apart of that village. I am happy to make any accommodations possible to help you and your fur baby feel the most comfortable with my care. Upon your request to book me, we will go over the requirements of their boarding or my visit(s). You let me know what I can do to help and what you feel most content with.
“Charlayda did an AWESOME job with Kash today. Very professional, friendly and great communication. I am so grateful to have found her. I was very nervous this morning when I dropped him off and every time, I thought about him a picture or video popped up. So, I knew that he was in good hands. I have definitely become a repeat customer and I have told my friends about her already!! She's a keeper!!”
About: I have a soft spot for lap dogs disguised as big dogs. No difference between a puppy and a pit bull to me, I’m always happy to provide a second home! On weekdays I work from 9am-5pm but otherwise I have full time availability to play with your pups. Weekends and holiday stays aren’t an issue! Just send me a message and I’m happy to help! I live in a comfortable and clean apartment on the Southside of Jacksonville. Beach trips, park play or even in door stays. Happy to help :)

“Ashley was wonderful! She was prompt, communicative, and took great care of our little Australian Shepherd on his walk. She kept us updated on how he did, including his potty breaks, which we really appreciated. We’ll definitely be using her again!”
“I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Deborah! My husband and I have a Scottish terrier puppy. I had to travel for work one week and my husband works long hours at the hospital, so we hired Deborah to walk our puppy during the day. I was nervous because he is still young and this was is first experience with a walker. Deborah was so caring and patient with him! She followed all our instructions, came exactly when scheduled, and throughly documented each visit. It really put my mind at ease when I could see her visit reports and pictures while I was traveling. We will not hesitate to hire her again!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember and have years of experience caring for both dogs and cats.

I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and will treat your pets with the same love and care I give my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and energy levels and can provide walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and drop-in visits while keeping your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I’m also very comfortable with cats and understand that sometimes earning their trust means giving them a little extra patience and space! I’m happy to follow detailed care instructions and will always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and getting plenty of attention. 🐶🐱❤️

“Savannah has been wonderful! Our previous dog walker, Paige, was with us for almost two years, so I was definitely nervous about having someone new take over. Savannah has made the transition so much easier than I expected. She is reliable, communicative, and clearly very caring with our dogs. I already feel comfortable and confident knowing they’re in good hands with her. We’re so happy to have met Savannah and really appreciate how easy she has made this change for us!”
About: Hi, I’m Hailey! 🐾 I’ve always had a huge love for animals, and there’s nothing I enjoy more than getting to know each pet’s unique personality.

I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and small pets of all ages, including seniors and pets who need medications or extra care. I’m big on keeping your pet’s normal routine and making sure they get plenty of love, attention, playtime, and of course, treats! I also don’t charge extra for additional pets, so my visits are always one set price whether you have one pet or a whole crew. 🐶🐱🐰 Most importantly, I want you to feel completely comfortable while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets like my own and keep you updated so you never have to wonder how they’re doing.

About: Hi everyone! My name is Alyssa. 🤗 What sets me apart is that I genuinely treat every pet like family. I’m patient, attentive, adaptable, and especially comfortable with senior pets, anxious animals, and pets who need extra patience or specialized care. I have personal experience caring for a senior cat with diabetes, which has taught me how important consistency, observation, and attention to detail are when caring for an aging pet or one with additional needs. I’m comfortable following detailed feeding routines, medication instructions, and individualized care plans. I’m also very calm and capable in a crisis. If something unexpected happens, I don’t panic. I assess the situation, follow the appropriate steps, communicate with the owner, and make sure the pet’s safety comes first. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to stay level-headed when you’re not there. Above all, I pay attention to the little things: changes in appetite, bathroom habits, energy, behavior, and overall mood. I want every pet to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their person is away, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you never feel out of the loop. 🐾💛⭐️🤗✨ As an actress and social media content creator, my schedule is very flexible and currently quite open, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m able to work my days around their routines, whether that means walks, feedings, playtime, medication, or simply keeping them company. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, and having a flexible schedule means I’m not constantly rushing off to another commitment. Your pet can get plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. Basically, I’m happy to let your pet be my boss. 😂🐾 Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible. In my home, I give pets time to become familiar with the surroundings and neighborhood rather than overwhelming them. I pay close attention to their stress levels, body language, appetite, energy, and behavior so I can adjust their care to what they’re communicating. When house sitting, I treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own. Along with caring for your pets, I’m happy to handle everyday things like tending to gardens, taking out the trash, doing dishes, bringing in mail, and keeping the home tidy. I want you to come home to happy pets and a home that feels just as you left it. 🐾
“Carter did a great job caring for Lucy! He was punctual, checked in with me often, asked questions about caring for my puppy as needed, and took pictures to share! I will ask for his help 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.
About: I've been around dogs of all sizes and ages my entire life, and I absolutely love being around them. From playful puppies to calm senior dogs, I enjoy caring for each one like they're my own. Since I'm currently in the military and can't have a dog right now, spending time with yours gives me the chance to enjoy that companionship and give back some love. Whether it's walks, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I'm here to make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and loved. I work Monday through Thursday from 7am to 2pm, and I’m available to care for your furry friends anytime after 2pm. If you need boarding, I’d be happy to host your pet in my home—just let me know if that’s something you’re comfortable with. I keep my calendar up to date for easy booking and clear communication, so scheduling with me is always simple and reliable. Your pup will feel right at home with me! My space is always clean and tidy, and I can easily accommodate crate-trained dogs or let them relax around the house—whatever they're used to. I have a dog park just downstairs and live in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood that’s perfect for walks. I’m also very active, so if your dog needs extra exercise or playtime, they’ll definitely get it. Whether they love lounging or staying on the move, I’ll make sure they’re happy and well cared for.
About: I've taken care of pets, mostly cats, since I was 8. My mom's side of the family were vet techs and farm kids, so I've grown up knowing how to take care. I've also handled multiple special needs animals, both dogs and cats with skin and diet issues. I understand how animals can be with new people, and take the time and energy to let them trust me. I will be working and going to school in the upcoming spring semester. I like to travel so certain dates may be unavailable, however, I love to take care of animals and will dedicate my time to their care. I follow instructions that the owner would like, and supervise their fur-baby to keep them safe from eating things they shouldn't, staying within their allowed area, and most importantly, being able to be themselves and play or relax. I understand how to give medications, even to those pets that do not like taking them. I want to give the care that I would want my pets to have.
“Alexandria was amazing! I got called into work and she was a life savor today. She showed up on time and followed all my directions. I loved receiving the photos of Bentley afterwards too. He was such a happy boy when I got home today. I will absolutely be using her again!”
“Rachel started walking my lab, Millie when I needed surgery to replace my knee. She came every day and Millie loved her! She now is my go-to for boarding! We do a lot of travelling and Rachel takes good care of Millie in her home with her dog Captain. When I pick Millie up, instead of being wild she's relaxed and happy! Rachel is the best!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals my whole life. my uncle owned a farm with many animals and I would take care of them every week. This is where my love for animals came from. I know how to take care of animals as well know when something is wrong. I have owned animals of all types. I’ve owned dogs as big as American eskimos and small ones like toy poodles. I love long walks/runs, especially when I have a good companion by my side. I am also a cat lover. I once had sheltered 12 cats and eventually found homes for all of them. I am very patient, kind, and energetic. I’m the type of person who will treat your animal as my own. Free as a bird! I have no weekly restrictions! I’m capable of taking care of your dog or cat anytime during the week. I’ll be there for you for whenever you and your fur baby need me! I can take care of your pet in the comfortability of your home. You can count on me to keep you well informed on my whereabouts and arrivals/departures from your home! I can and will provide pictures and videos for your pet and home to make you feel secure. Please don’t hesitate if you have any questions or special requests on how to make this experience as easy and comfortable as possible!

“Kira was awesome with my lil baby Draco. He’s a Rottweiler lol but that’s what he is to me and how she treated him which I really appreciate. I felt comfortable being out of town with the updates she was sending me and updates! I’ll definitely be using her again in the future :)”

“I needed a person who was going to welcome my fur baby into their home and treat them as it was their own pet. Daisy went above and beyond the call of duty with Gizmo. Daisy is from now on the person I will contact to care for my dog.”
“Christa was wonderful! She was very responsive to texts and sent a lot of photos and videos. We felt comfortable leaving our puppy with her and are so glad we did. We highly recommend her!”
“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!”
“Candace and Thomas were so great! Sent so many updates with photos that made me feel totally confident Tilly was in great care :) would love for them to watch her again in the future!”
About: I’ve been around many kinds of animals my whole life, including dogs, turtles, rabbits, fish, and guinea pigs. My childhood dog, Zoey, was an older German Shepherd who really shaped my understanding of and love for animals. I grew up in a very animal-loving family where caring for pets was seen as an important part of building responsibility and character. I’m very comfortable with big dogs and used to handling high-energy personalities. Now as an adult, I have my own dog, Aries, a sweet and playful 3-year-old Pitbull Lab mix, who I’ve had since she was a puppy. Being a dog owner myself helps me understand how important it is to fully trust the person caring for your pet. I’ve personally used Rover and had great experiences, and I’m excited to provide that same level of care, communication, and reliability to others. I genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that means going on walks, playing, or just cuddling and keeping them company. I’m currently studying biology and hope to work in the veterinary field one day, so caring for animals truly means a lot to me. I am currently just a student, so I have plenty of time for your pets! I'm home the majority of the time, except for my saturday classes and I'm available any day of the week! If I'm never not home either my sister or father will step in. My home has a big open first floor where dogs are free to hang out and make themselves comfortable. They’re also welcome to sleep in my bedroom if they like being close at night. I don’t allow pets on the couch, but they’ll always have their own comfy spots to relax. I do have a yard, and while it isn’t fenced, I use a secure leash setup so dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time with supervision. I also use my open garage as a great shaded space for my dog to relax for 2-3 hours a day. I supervise our Ring Cameras frequently. Fresh water and a comfortable resting area are always provided.
“This was our first time boarding our dog MJ and she felt right at home with Charlayda. We received multiple photos and videos during her stay, and we felt so at ease knowing our baby girl was safe and getting plenty of attention and love.”
“Hannah was AMAZING!!! We left our 6 year old Cavashon with her for 5 days when we went on vacation. She texted us updates and pics which allowed us to fully relax knowing our little “girl” was being well taken care of! We would highly recommend Hannah!!🐶❤️”
