“Cynthia is great and took excellent care of my two pups. I received updates and pictures and I could tell the pups were having fun. I’ll be a return customer.”
“Absolutely amazing pet sitting experience! My pets were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for while I was away. Communication was excellent with regular updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind. Reliable, professional, and genuinely caring — I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy pet care. I’ll definitely be booking again.”
“Great communication! Amazing with sending pics and videos and asking questions about care! Overall great experience and by babies came back pooped from all the fun they had!”
“Adriana was amazing! My dog took to her immediately and he’s normally shy. She had a pool for my dog to swim in and a big backyard for him to run around and play. She sent me pics and videos of him everyday while I was away. She also helped me by cooking his food for him while I was away. I will definitely be rebooking with Adriana when I go on my next trip!”
“Tannia and her husband were wonderful with Dustin! She sent lots of photos and updates on his visit. They made me feel very comfortable leaving Dustin in their care. I will definitely be calling them the next time I need a sitter.”
“Very informative of my cat while be considerate with him and consistently giving him lots of attention, room to move around and made him feel at home. Her family and herself have gone beyond expectations for him.”
“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!”
“I just moved back to Jax and needed to find a new pet sitter for my toy poodle. I was scheduled to be out of town for 4 days and I had anxiety about leaving him with someone he was unfamiliar with for that amount of time. I downloaded the Rover app and Layda literally fell into my lap. Her reviews were great and her availability was open. I reached out and she was immediately responsive. She offered to give me a call to walk me through how the app works and we talked in depth about my dog. She asked all kinds of questions and gave super helpful suggestions. Before I completed my booking, I asked if we could do a meet & greet so that her and Jinger could meet and she happily agreed. They hit it off perfectly. 2 days later I dropped Jinger for his extended vacay and I could tell my baby had the time of his life. Layda sent pictures and videos multiple times throughout the day and she was always responsive when I checked in. She allowed him to be comfortable and feel at home and I really appreciated that. Based on my first (of many more to come) booking, I can tell that Layda truly cares about what she does and thats a great feeling as a pet mom.”
“This was our first time with Kaitlyn and Andrew, and we were very pleased with the experience. We were regularly updated with photos and felt entirely comfortable leaving Mickey in their care. He was perfectly calm upon his return home and we could tell he received expert care. Thank you Kaitlyn & Andrew!”
“She was awesome 😀😀 Kept me up to date with info and pics of them. She was great and would def use again and again. She also took them in with a late notice too, she was the best 😀”
“Patti was wonderful with our 2 dogs! Her communication with us during our trip was so appreciated. She sent daily updates, photos and videos, which went a long way to ensure us that our pets were cared for with as much attention to detail as we would give ourselves. This made our trip so much more enjoyable and stress-free. I would most definitely recommend her for pet boarding. She’s absolutely wonderful!”
“Laura has taken care of Leviticus a couple of times already. Each time she has been attentive and caring and always sends the best photos. She is very flexible with her timing and very easy to work with.I will definitely continue to use her services. She's amazing!”
“Wendy was wonderful. She sent the cutest photos of my baby daily! She came home tired and happy. It's clear she got lots of exercise and lots of love. Will be using Wendy's services in the future! :)”
“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.”
“Rachel was awesome! Freyja had room to run and friends to run with, and I received photos updating me throughout her stay. She's my first choice when I have to go out of town for work.”
“Andrea and David took perfect care of our dog Blue! They sent pictures, updates and videos throughout his stay. They also sent him home with a Polaroid picture of him and a blue bandana. Such sweet details that made me feel Blue was right at home. Will definitely use them again and would recommend to everyone!”

“Jeweliana and Riley were super attentive with our kitties while we were gone! Next time we go on a trip, we are definitely having them watch our cats again. 😼”
“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.”
“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.”
“Karen looked after our 5 rescue kittens that we found 2 weeks before our vacation. She took photos on each visit which definitely it made it easier for us to relax knowing they were being well looked after while we were away. We will definitely trust her again to look after the two that we are keeping in the future. Thanks so much Karen ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: I’ve loved cats my whole life and I think they’re are truly the best! I have three kitties - Dodo (8y, Siberian, adopted in 2021), Rexi (2y, shorthair, adopted in 2024) and Vision (1y, shorthair, rescued in 2025). I also take care of the stray cats in my neighborhood and participate in TNR (trap-neuter-release) programs. I often look after my friends cats when they are out of town. People love to say I’m a cat lady, and I take it as a compliment. Vision is blind so I have experience with taking care of cats with disabilities, as well as can give oral medication. I would love to take care of your kitties!
“Sara dropped in on my car for several days, and always made sure to give him lots of attention and time besides the necessities like food and water. Always takes pictures too! Would refer to a friend, and will certainly re-book in the future.”
“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. :)”
“Hailey was so amazing with our two kitties! I highly recommend you book with her if you want your fur babies to receive excellent care while you’re away. The booking process was smooth due to Hailey’s kindness, professionalism, and flexibility. Thank you again!!”
“Alivia is amazing! She would let me know when to expect her to arrive, update me with the status of everything going on with my cats. Sent multiple pictures every visit to include the cleaned litter box and the filled food and water dishes. She even watered my plants and cleaned up hair balls. I highly recommend Alivia to care for your fur babies.”
“Nicole is great. Not only reliable, helpful with making last minute changes to schedule when needed, but also know I can count on her to give meds to my girl Nova (cat) with visits. My boy Bentley who can be quite shy even warms up to her. She’s also great about fulfilling any other odd requests that pop up when I’m not home—checking to make sure garage door is closed, etc.”
“adriana was absolutely amazing to my kitties! she adjusted care to their specific needs and will definitely be booking with her again. she’s so sweet and loves animals :)”
“This was our second time requesting Maria's help and she was great! Even on short notice and a mistake on my end with the booking Maria delivered quality care for our cat!”
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: I have experience caring for cats of different ages, temperaments, and needs, including shy cats, senior cats, and multi-cat households. I understand that cats are unique in their personalities and routines, and I always take a calm, patient approach to earning their trust. I am comfortable with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, administering basic medications if needed, and providing companionship on the cat’s terms. I also pay close attention to behavior changes and make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and stress-free while their owners are away.
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.

“This family is amazing at what they do. They are quick to respond to your booking request and they have accommodated me on several occasions when my schedule has changed. I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter while I’m in Florida for the holidays. They send soooo many pictures and videos. It’s wonderful!”
“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!
“Emma was great. Consistent communication and very accommodating. I was running a bit behind with pick up and she’s was quick to reassure me. I can tell Ellie had a blast with her and their dog Patrick. Highly recommend her care.”

I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages, including puppies and seniors, and I always make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always feel at ease while you’re away 💗 I’m a stay at home mom, so I’m home most of the day and able to give your pet plenty of attention, care, and supervision. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to accommodate walks, feedings, playtime, and any special routines your pet needs. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where your pet will feel comfortable and cared for. My home is non smoking and pet free, creating a calm space. I’m very attentive and patient, and I’ll always keep you updated so you feel at ease 💗
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I am very patient and loving. I know everyone might say that, but I really do love animals 🥰 I have my dog Kota who’s been my best friend for 10 years now, he’s super sweet and friendly with other animals. I have a huge backyard with a pool where your furry friend can run and swim. I also work from home so they will always have someone there. I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible. My mornings start off with feeding my animals and going for a morning walk with the dogs. During my lunch hour that’s when I let the dogs outside to run around and swim for an hour, and then again once my work day is done. We also take potty breaks in between. When my friends and family leave their dogs with me I follow the same schedule and make sure the dogs get plenty of exercise, tired dogs are happy dogs :) since I’m home all day me and Kota can provide companionship all day long for your furry kid :) I live in a house with a huge fenced in yard and a pool. Dogs are allowed on the furniture. I’m always around to make sure that they’re not eating things they’re not supposed to.
“Chrissy and fam were great. Ellie was quick to warm up and by the second day, she was already pawing at their front door to go inside. Chrissy made sure I was up to date on her day and she was excellent at communication. Highly recommend and definitely will return once the occasion arises.”
“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.”

“Ive really enjoyed Charlayda as my pet walker. She is so sweet and very responsible. I love that when I reach out to her she response immediately. I truly think she just loves her pups and Im always confident when Im at work that my pet is in the bests of hands.”
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.

“My pups loved Nicole! And I loved meeting Nicole. She sat with me and listened to my concerns and care instructions for the pups. It was a huge peace of mind knowing that they were excited to see her and she was taking care of them like her own pups:). Will definitely use Nicole again.”
About: I have cared for cats since I was about 10 years old and dogs since I was 15. I have volunteered in shelters for over a decade and have worked for a veterinary clinic for the past 4 years.

I currently work part time in the evenings and will be in college in the spring/fall time. I am available during the summer most hours and am happy to make things work as best as possible. I do not have a yard but live in a smaller HOA with areas to take longer walks and many grass spots for potty breaks. In my home the fur baby will have free rein of the upstairs and downstairs as long as I am home or will have the second bedroom to their selves. In the clients home I love a detailed list so I can do whatever the fur kiddo is used to on a daily routine.

About: Hi, I’m Hailey! If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family and keep you completely at ease while you’re away, I’m your person. I’m a full time pet sitter and I truly love what I do. I’ve been caring for animals since I was 15 and have experience with a wide variety of pets including seniors and pets who need medication or extra care. My rate provided for house sitting is subject to change for constant care requests. For drop in visits, I do not charge extra for additional pets. I do pet sitting full time and maintain open availability. This allows me to accommodate a variety of schedules while still providing consistent, high-quality care for every booking. I am available for all holidays, as well as for last minute bookings. I provide in-home pet care at the client's home only. I am available for drop-in visits, overnight stays, hourly day care, as well as around the clock constant care.

I follow your exact instructions and routine to keep your pet happy and stress-free in their own environment!
“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.”
“I had a fantastic experience with Karen. She is friendly and calm with my nervous dog Luna, which made a huge difference for her first walk with a new person. I really appreciated how Karen took the time to ask thoughtful questions about Luna's routine, quirks, and comfort level before heading out. It was clear Karen genuinely cares about making the walk a positive experience. Highly recommend!”
About: My mission is to provide compassionate, dependable, and personalized care that allows pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own home while giving their families complete peace of mind. Every visit is built on kindness, trust, and treating each pet like a member of the family who is viewed and nurtured with love! Currently living with a cat, and I am both, a dog and a cat person! 😇 I offer flexible availability throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I do my best to accommodate regular daily walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting requests based on client needs and availability. For recurring dog walking clients, I typically schedule visits within consistent time windows (such as mid-morning or early afternoon), which helps maintain your pet’s routine and reduces stress. For pet sitting and drop-in visits, I will coordinate a schedule in advance to ensure your pet receives reliable care and attention while you are away. I respond to messages promptly and will always communicate clearly if I am unavailable or if my schedule is full for a specific time period. The safety and well-being of every pet is my top priority. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes or during walks, which allows pets to remain in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine with minimal stress. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely regarding feeding, medications, routines, and house rules. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, triggers, and comfort level before beginning care. I ensure all doors and entry points are secure at all times, and I am extremely mindful when entering and exiting the home to prevent any chance of escape. I do not allow off-leash outdoor time unless explicitly approved by the owner and in a fully secure area. I maintain a clean environment by properly handling food areas, litter boxes, and any pet-related messes during each visit. I also monitor pets closely for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health and will immediately communicate any concerns to the owner. Trust and respect are very important to me. I treat every home with care, privacy, and professionalism, as if it were my own.
About: I’ve taken care of a few dogs in the past few months, I’ve also help master some of the basics training. I keep the pet entertained and read body language to respect boundaries! I have also volunteered at Jax humane society. My schedule is pretty flexible. I work from home so it’s not much of a hassle for me to make time for your fur baby! I have a long side walk to take long walks. I have a nice sided yard so they can run around and play. There will be other dogs around the area when we go on walks so they will have some type of interaction.
About: I am a high school teacher looking for work with animals! I have 2 dogs currently that love other dogs. I am active and love to take long walks and trips to the park with my own dogs.

Hoping to help out anyone who is in need of dog care. Being a teacher, I am very flexible with hours. I live on the southside of Jacksonville near Memorial Hospital so I am convenient to many places in town and I am willing to travel to areas just outside of Jacksonville as well. Can’t wait to meet your furry family members!
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.

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.

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. I am available for morning and afternoon care to ensure your pets get the attention they need throughout the day. I have a very flexible routine that allows me to prioritize drop-in visits and walks when you need them most. Whether it’s an early morning check-in or a mid-day walk to break up their day, I am consistent, punctual, and dedicated to keeping your pet on their preferred schedule. My goal is to be a reliable and calming presence in your pet's life. When I enter your home for a visit, I prioritize safety and security, making sure your pet feels comfortable and your home stays secure. I am highly vigilant during walks and play sessions, ensuring a stress-free experience for your furry family members. I pride myself on following instructions to the letter—from feeding routines to ensuring your house is locked up tight when I leave.

“Adriana was amazing! My dog took to her immediately and he’s normally shy. She had a pool for my dog to swim in and a big backyard for him to run around and play. She sent me pics and videos of him everyday while I was away. She also helped me by cooking his food for him while I was away. I will definitely be rebooking with Adriana when I go on my next trip!”
“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!”
“I just moved back to Jax and needed to find a new pet sitter for my toy poodle. I was scheduled to be out of town for 4 days and I had anxiety about leaving him with someone he was unfamiliar with for that amount of time. I downloaded the Rover app and Layda literally fell into my lap. Her reviews were great and her availability was open. I reached out and she was immediately responsive. She offered to give me a call to walk me through how the app works and we talked in depth about my dog. She asked all kinds of questions and gave super helpful suggestions. Before I completed my booking, I asked if we could do a meet & greet so that her and Jinger could meet and she happily agreed. They hit it off perfectly. 2 days later I dropped Jinger for his extended vacay and I could tell my baby had the time of his life. Layda sent pictures and videos multiple times throughout the day and she was always responsive when I checked in. She allowed him to be comfortable and feel at home and I really appreciated that. Based on my first (of many more to come) booking, I can tell that Layda truly cares about what she does and thats a great feeling as a pet mom.”

“Wendy was wonderful. She sent the cutest photos of my baby daily! She came home tired and happy. It's clear she got lots of exercise and lots of love. Will be using Wendy's services in the future! :)”
“Andrea and David took perfect care of our dog Blue! They sent pictures, updates and videos throughout his stay. They also sent him home with a Polaroid picture of him and a blue bandana. Such sweet details that made me feel Blue was right at home. Will definitely use them again and would recommend to everyone!”
“Conrad loved his stay with Ashley and fam over the holidays. We got regular updates and photos of all the fun which gave us a great peace of mind. Would highly recommend, and will be requesting service in the future. Thank you Ashley!”
“Alysia has taken care of our Frenchy several times and she has been very caring and diligent. Our dog feels comfortable at her home. She is highly recommended.”
“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 :)”
“Em was great! My dog is currently in her care for another stay while I’m away and i am totally at ease to know my dog is in the care of such a tentative person! Would definitely recommend her for your pet sitting needs!”
“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!”
“Fantastic couple! Made our trip so much more relaxing knowing Cherry was in great hands! They sent so many awesome pics and messages throughout her stay that let me know we’d made the best choice. We will definitely rebook with them!”

“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”
“Delaney was an absolute lifesaver for us with a last minute booking! From the moment i dropped our boy off, i knew he was in amazing hands. She treated him like her own and gave him so much love, attention, and care while we were away. We especially appreciated the constant updates, photos, and messages! it made being away from our sweet boy so much easier and gave us total peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. Our DJ came home happy, relaxed, and clearly adored. We could not recommend Delaney more and will absolutely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Was going out of town for work and it was an absolute pleasure having Amelia watch my pup. Went above and beyond and recommend her anytime your parting with you fur baby!”
“Hannah is so patient and kind. She made sure Ellie was happy and healthy during her stay, went above and beyond in her care, and was very communicative with me. I highly recommend her for any pup, especially if you need special accommodations for medical or behavioral issues.”
