“Angelica was wonderful. She took exceptional care of my pet. I felt so comfortable leaving Punkin with her. She treated her like she was part of her family!! Thank you so much. I will definitely trust you with my pet for any future vacations.”
“Danieris and Julian are a wonderful and kind couple. They welcomed my dog and communicated regularly about his stay and questions. I would absolutely use them again.”
“Great communication and daily updates with photos were all greatly appreciated during Archie’s stay. It looked like he had a blast from all the photos. We were even running behind on our travel back due to unexpected traffic and Sydney was able to accommodate us which we appreciated greatly!”
“Joanne was amazing with my 4 year old rescue dog Juniper. We have had her less than a year and we have never left a pet with anyone except family. This vacation we needed someone other than family to keep her for a week. Because she is a bit anxious and has a specific diet, I wanted someone with experience and a loving home to welcome her as their own for a week. Joanne fit the bill, sending me notes on her care, photos and videos of her interaction with other dogs. She went above and beyond caring for Juniper, giving her the love as well as the care and patience needed to get her out of her shell while staying with her. I will definitely use her again with no reservations!!! She deserves a 10 star review but they only allow up to 5, so she gets a 5 + plus from me. Thank you Joanne!!! From Cheryl H.”
“Summer was absolutely amazing with our little girl, Bella, who is it puppy. Also, she just lost her brother, and was very commanding from losing a booking of two dogs down to one dog. On top of that, we had to readjust our schedule, and again was very accommodating to our circumstances! Hands-down for this dog sitter who went above, and beyond taking care of our little girl! I highly recommend her!!”
“Matt & Nicole took wonderful care of Marley! They communicated with us daily and sent photos as well. I would definitely recommend them and will be future customers! Many thanks for taking such good care of our pet!”
“They saved our Christmas! Our dog sitter for a family trip canceled at 9pm on Christmas Eve, and Shelisha responded promptly on Christmas morning, making it so we could take our kids up north to see their grandparents.”
“There are not enough words to describe how amazing our experience was. First let me start by saying my initial dog sitter Canceled on us the day before our flight to Columbia. Due to safety reasons because of the hurricane. I contacted Angie and she immediately responded and we did a meet and greet right away. My dogs loved her and family instantly. She provided multiple daily updates and tons of photos which will be printing out. Lol Leaving your dogs with someone such last min is never easy but Angie surely made it very smooth! Our dogs came home happy to see us but I can see they are sad to have left. If you need a sitter who is response, caring, loving and will treat your dog as thier own then this is your person! Recommend 1000% .”
“This was our first time using James’s for our fur babies and both Winston and Bella just fell into a routine and made themselves right at home! He did a great job entertaining both of our dogs at the same time and loving them equally. They have different foods, and he was able to take care of each of them as they needed to be taken care of. Also, he mentioned that he would keep in touch and send pictures. He absolutely did a great job letting us know how our babies were doing even within a couple hours of dropping them off, and letting us see that they were getting the love and attention they needed. I highly recommend him, and we will use him again in the future!”
“Awesome Family! Truly cared for our Nala and allowed her to have so much fun! Very personable and was very welcoming! Highly recommend her service! Nala definitely had so much fun and are so grateful!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Vanessa provided for our dog, Gus! He had an amazing time playing with other dogs, getting spoiled with trips to the dog park, pup cups, and even celebrating at a pup birthday party with dog-friendly treats. Vanessa made sure Gus was happy, active, and loved every minute of his stay — he was truly on vacation just as much as we were! She also sent us plenty of photos, updates, and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind and made us feel like we were right there with him. We highly recommend Vanessa to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. We already have another trip planned and will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Christian was absolutely wonderful. He took his time getting to know Georgia during our meet and greet. He carefully observed how she interacted with other dogs at his home. He is very compassionate and knows what he is doing. I felt extremely comfortable boarding Georgia with him for a few days. He sent pictures throughout his visit so I always knew how Georgia was doing. I highly recommend Christian and I will definitely use his services again.”
“Angela and Jorge were so good with our poodle Bailey! They made us feel comfortable in their home and Bailey to feel welcome. The communication was superb and we felt she was well cared-for and happy. We will definitely use them again.”
“Maya was a very easy sitter to work with. She responds quickly, is very kind, she keeps you updated frequently, and she knows and loves dogs. She was great with giving our boy his medications and keeping up with his demanding puppy schedule. IYKYK. We’ll definitely use Maya again!”
“Cherisse was awasome!!! My dog definitely enjoyed being over there. She sent lots of videos and pictures!!! I would definitely love my dog to go over there again in the future!!!”
“Brittanie took wonderful care of our golden retriever. She and her family was a great fit for our fur baby, since they had a golden of their own. We enjoyed the daily updates that she provided us during our time away from Claire. Look forward to booking with her again.”
“Honestly couldn’t be happier! Would definitely recommend them to take care of your fur babies. Great communication, very easy going and flexible and most importantly they truly care for your pets as their own.”
“The most comfortable I’ve been in leaving my fur baby with anyone! This whole household is dog friendly and loving. Teddy is cared for and socialized with other dogs, as well as people. The yard is large and set up for exercise and fun for dogs. Thank you to Susan and her family for giving my dog a great time!!”
“They were amazing to my kitty Buggy, super understanding of all my crazy asks and nervous jitters leaving my friend behind. They sent update pictures and even went to the store to pick up more food and treats because I had miscalculated how much she would need. I would definitely use them again.”

“Ruth is amazing! For each visit with our Luna, she provided us a detailed report of how Luna was behaving and what they did together, as well as pictures of our furry baby. I loved our interactions and felt very safe and comforted knowing Ruth was taking good care of our pet.”
“Thank you Jennifer for agreeing to take care of my cats on short notice. You were so kind to them and seemed to genuinely love them; even my two ferals and the cat who lives across the street who comes over for snacks. You truly love our furry babes.”
“10/ 10 ? Amber did an amazing, very thorough job of taking care of our two cats while we were away. She documented every step ( feeding, clean litter boxes, taking out feces to trash) with pictures. She even cleaned up puke from one of the cats and made she they were feeling ok before leaving. We will be using her services again in the future. ?”
“Elizabeth did a fantastic job at taking care of my two kitties. She cleaned up after them well and made sure to check in with me at every visit. It made being away from them a lot easier. I would absolutely book with her again in the future!”
“Kylee was fantastic. The communication was amazing and she was so so sweet and took great care of our furry friend. Will definitely be having Kylee come visit again!”
“Yan was absolutely amazing! I highly recommend working with her to care for your pets. She followed all instructions that we left . Plus consistently kept us updated with pics and notes about our kitties!!! I was nervous at first because I had never used a site like this before. But I am very glad we did! I’m more happy with the choice we made to work with Yan to care for our cats!!! YAN IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!!”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for animals and the genuine love and patience I bring to every pet. I’ve been around both dogs and cats my entire life and have experience caring for them for family and friends. I currently have a puppy that I’ve raised since she was just 8 weeks old, so I understand the time, consistency, and attention young dogs need. From potty training routines and reinforcing basic commands to providing plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection, I’m comfortable caring for puppies as well as adult pets. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I've bottle fed newborn kitten's that were abandoned,also feed an help adult cats that need a home. If an animal or pet is abandoned I will care for it an find the owner.
“Sunni is an angel and I am extremely grateful for all her help! The fact that my shy cat came out during her visits tells me a lot about how kind of a person she is! I would not hesitate to request her again and I absolutely recommend her for anyone wanting first-class care for their fur babies! Thank you Sunni!”
“Lauren was great and very kind. I could tell my cats enjoyed her being there just through the photos. She did everything I asked her to and the place was exactly how I left it. Will definitely rebook her”
“Madison was amazing! We went out of town for a weekend getaway and were so anxious about leaving our cats behind. However, Madison eased all these worries away. Her communication was excellent and I could tell my cats were in caring hands. She was able to get my reserved cat to come out of his shell and even administered medication. I would recommend Madison and will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!”
About: what sets me apart is my genuine love and respect for animals. I understand that every cat has a unique personality- some love attention while others prefer their space- and I’m committed to caring for them in a way that makes them feel safe and comfortable. I always respect their boundaries, follow their routine, and make sure they receive plenty of care, patients and affection on their terms. As someone who hopes to become a veterinarian, I am passionate about animal health and well-being. I treat every cat and animal as if it were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member isn’t a caring, trustworthy hand while your way!

About: I’ve taken care of friends and families dogs my whole life, I am a pet lover and very gentle with animals. I have a large Great Dane at home so I am also familiar with large dogs. I am currently a college student-athlete living in Lakeland, not as busy as you think! I take mostly online classes and have a perfect schedule for check-ins, and walks! I’m always looking to help take care of animals because I have a passion and love for them, especially pups🐾💛 I am just looking for check ins and dog walking, I live in an apartment so I most likely won’t be bringing a dog back home.
About: BEST CARE ANYWHERE! My home is calm and quiet, all dogs do great with me. My back yard is fully fenced; my back door opens into that backyard. My front doors have two barriers you can see that, in one of the photos on my profile. Customized meals for every dog. Dogs sleep in crates at night to ensure safety! March 2026....10 years Rover sitter I have over 50 years professional experience caring for dogs, I am now retired. I have worked in the boarding, grooming, training and vet tech fields. YOUR DOG MUST BE FRIENDLY WITH OTHER DOGS NO BULLY BREEDS NO Dogs over 14yo NO drops offs or pickups after 6pm Your dog must be on flea preventive. I am retired and need to feel I am contributing to society in some small way. I love animals and they love me, so this is a good fit for me. I can care for dogs, cats, birds, horses, cattle, goats, chickens, rabbits, snakes, reptiles, raccoons and some small wildlife (depending on their needs) in their home or mine!
“Megan is heaven sent! My dog needed day care where he was getting the same love as if he was home and Megan provided that plus more! Our work hours are from 8-7pm between us both and we felt Neeko needed to get out the house to not be cooped up all week. I’m so happy that I chose Megan for this and the fact she provides updates and pics throughout the day is amazing and warms my heart! She treats our dog like it’s his second home! Book her!”
About: As a dog sitter, I pride myself on providing the most caring and loving environment for your furry companion. I treat every dog as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and cherished in your absence. Whether it's playful walks, cuddles on the couch, or simply offering a watchful eye, I prioritize their happiness and comfort. With personalized attention and a deep understanding of canine needs, I do attempt to house train with the time I have with every furry friend I receive, giving you peace of mind knowing your dog is in the best hands. I am a college student, getting my degree in digital design. Due to myself being an art major I have more time than other students and will be able to devote more time to my passion and that’s working and caring for animals. I live in a gated apartment complex, therefore yard wise is open but limited. My apartment has more than enough space to play, sleep, and simply enjoy the presence of every furry friend.
“Excellent care surrounded by a loving family. Updates were provided with photo. Fenced yard and safe surrounding.. my pup was happy. Thank you Angie. Hope to see you again.”
“Vely was awesome. We were welcomed in to see her home before leaving the dogs. We felt fully comfortable leaving our 2 pups with her. She had great communication the entire visit, with lots of pics and messages! We have already booked our next stay with her!”

About: I have had a big passion for animals since childhood. I grew up with many animals and always dreamed of working with animals. I graduated from university with an associate in veterinary technician. I been working for several years in veterinary medicine and doggy daycare i really have fun and enjoy all my time with them. I’m currently working 3 days per week, usually I’m off on Sunday and the rest of the time at home. My schedule rotates, I do not always have the same days off. I have an empty room only for them, small cage if needed and a porch that they can be around. I’m a pet friendly and I always walk my dog around so he can enjoy the complex.
About: Firstly, I will listen to your pet's needs that you have, and follow them accordingly. Secondly, I will play with your babies and pay attention to them, with love and affection. I will walk with them around the Lake's, and engage them, by talking to them, so that they know they are loved by me. Thirdly, I do like to play catch and engage them in different games, so their time away from you will fly by for them. Lastly, I am not trained in the Heimlich for dogs, nor CPR, but I have had to do the Heimlich on my own dog, whom was choking on food, to save her life. I look forward to playing with your babies. Thank you so very much.
“Jani was great with Junior. He only stayed with her for the day. He can be fickle in his old age but loves people. She did great getting him comfortable in her home and giving him attention but also his freedom when needed. I received constant pictures which is always great! Will use Jani again if needed!”
About: I have fostered for the SPCA since I was 12 and have owned pets my entire life. I have a passionate love for animals and recently discovered a new passion for pet sitting! I STRICTLY KEEP ONLY ONE PET FAMILY AT A TIME - so I can focus on their personal and familiar schedule, happiness, and safety. I ALSO WELCOME SPECIAL NEEDS PETS, as I have owned and cared for many myself. Keeping your pet is a privilege and brings me great joy, it is not a primary financial stream. (If you need a recurring or long-term sitter who will build a loving relationship with your pet, please contact me for discount.) As for my background and experience, as a youth, I began fostering animals for the SPCA at 12 years old, and then at 16 began raising and training guide dog puppies for Southeastern Guide Dogs. I have been awarded volunteer and foster of the year both by the SPCA. As I got older. I saw a great need for foster parents who could bottle feed abandoned puppies and kittens, could care for older pets needing extra time and expertise, and pets with a wide variety of special needs. After adopting several special needs pets who would otherwise have difficulty finding a forever home (the last two passed away last year), I found myself wanting to adopt every animal I fostered. knowing that wasn’t realistic, I realized pet sitting might be better outlet for me to direct my love for animals (Without the pain of not knowing if the pet I fostered would eventually find a loving home). And I have loved hosting happy pets ever since! My children are now in college, and after losing my precious older dog and cat a couple years ago, I now only have one cat we rescued during a storm. My ultimate goal is for both you and your pet to be comfortable and have peace of mind before and during the time you are away, and I strive to love and entertain them so much that they feel at home (or on vacation) until you come back for them. I work from home, allowing me to be available for your pet at almost all times - which is especially helpful with puppies/kittens, older, or disabled pets that need to be closely watched. (I have many years experience with disabled, sick or elderly pets). I am experienced with giving both oral and injected meds, expressions, helping them eat, exercise, etc. Because I only pet sit one animal family at a time, I am able to adjust to your pet(s) schedule. Whatever makes him/her most comfortable! I take the trust and safety of pets very seriously, only keeping one pet (or family of pets) at a time. I also document a daily diary of their experiences, and send pictures on a daily basis (unless requested otherwise). You can review the daily diary document (as well as information I prefer to obtain before pet sitting), in my photos section. This document includes the preferred vet and emergency center I utilize, although I am happy to contact your preferred vet if provided to me. I also have multiple friends who are veterinarians, and I never hesitate to contact them if I am at all concerned about any pet in my care. I prefer dogs be crate trained if they are young and active, but while I have a large double-sized crate, it is only used if we are all gone for a short time (for the dog’s safety and comfort). The rest of the time pets are welcome on the bed to sleep with us, on furniture, etc. If there is a reason the dog can’t be crated, please discuss it with me and we can come up with safest and best plan for your pet! I also have a room set up for pets in case they want to be alone or have quiet time. It is also helpful if you bring a blanket from home, so s/he is comforted by the familiar smells of you and their loving home!
“Incredible dog sitter! Leo felt right at home from the moment he arrived. A beautiful yard to play in and greatly enjoyed hanging with Coco! Every day he came home to me happy as can be.”
About: I have two cats and a dog of my own that I have been taking care of since they were babies. I have cat sit and dog sit since I was 10. Although I am in college I have tons of free time almost every day of the week except for Tuesdays! I almost have my own transportation and have tons of free time! I walk, feed and play with my dog! My dog and I have morning and nightly walks! I also clean my cats litter boxes as well as play with them!
About: I’m a responsible, loving, and attentive pet caretaker who treats every animal like my own. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet cuddle time, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for. With experience and genuine love for animals, I’m committed to giving them the attention and affection they deserve while you're away. I also provide you with updates through texts with pictures! I am a stay at home mom with a furbaby of our own, and I have complete open availability for overnight stays and play dates! "We have a large fenced in backyard that offers plenty of space for play and relaxation, nestled in a quiet and peaceful cul-de-sac. Our friendly 2 yr old Golden Retriever, Lucy, loves to play fetch and welcomes new friends with a wagging tail. Pets are treated like family in our home-they're welcome on our oversized sectional. Fresh water is always available, along with treats (with your permission), and a variety of toys to keep them entertained and happy
About: Having worked as a vet tech and former zoo aide, I genuinely love animals. I know all my pups will come with different personality types and needs. My kind disposition makes it easy for me to adjust to the needs of every dog I host so that they feel welcome and at home. If you book with me, your baby will get regular doggie walking time, they’ll get to go on runs in big open fields, and if time allows, a few beach visits! I live in a spacious apartment with a good amount of floor space for your fur baby to enjoy. Due to my not having a backyard on demand, we do have nearby doggie parks, and a running trail where we can go on runs! Regular walks are always included. I am working from home year round, so I am flexible when it comes to hosting your pup! If you are looking to set a long-term boarding schedule, we can definitely arrange something. My home is spacious and minimalist. Therefore your fur baby will not only be comfortable, but very safe within my home as it is regularly clutter free. I make sure they have fresh water everyday, and take them out at least 4 times a day. ✨NOTE✨ - We provide dog training! If you’re interested, please feel free to ask about this! I work from home year round so you can count on me to be home with your dog the majority of the time! 🐶 🐾 I’m extremely attentive and strive to provide the utmost care for all my furry guests! They won’t go a day unloved or improperly cared for while under my supervision. We also provide training upon request! Please feel free to ask about these services.
About: 4 yes I spent 4 yrs a vet tech. 10 other years I spent on a farm training sheepdog I'd rather have no other friend I am disabled due to a brain tumor but has nothing to do with my ability to love. I have a very open schedule hugs. We had security on site 24/7 Plus have 24 surveillance and home and around house even the dog park has security. Kermit Look forward to

“Ruth has been so wonderful with my puppy Zoey. It's my first puppy and my first time using a sitter so I am so grateful to know that there is an agency with kind and pet loving people that are willing to help people like me. Thank you again Ruth.”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for animals and the genuine love and patience I bring to every pet. I’ve been around both dogs and cats my entire life and have experience caring for them for family and friends. I currently have a puppy that I’ve raised since she was just 8 weeks old, so I understand the time, consistency, and attention young dogs need. From potty training routines and reinforcing basic commands to providing plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection, I’m comfortable caring for puppies as well as adult pets. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits very well into my daily schedule. I have a flexible routine that allows me to dedicate time to feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and giving pets the attention they need. Since I already care for my own puppy every day, I’m used to planning my schedule around a pet’s needs and making sure they receive consistent care. I’m dependable, organized, and committed to following each pet’s routine so they stay happy and comfortable while their owner is away. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I make sure they have fresh food and water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of love and attention. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, potty breaks, and any special routines their pet is used to. I also keep a close eye on their behavior to make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and healthy. My goal is to help pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their owners are away.
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I have three sweet, friendly dogs of my own, and I truly treat them like my children. In my home, dogs are family—they’re welcome on the furniture, can sleep in the bed if that’s what they’re used to, and get plenty of love, attention, and playtime. We have a large yard where the dogs love to run and play, and they’re just as happy relaxing inside together. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, so I do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while you’re away. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind, knowing your pup is being cared for just like one of my own. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life because I have three dogs of my own. I work part-time with a flexible schedule, and both my significant other and I work just five minutes from home, so the dogs are never left alone for long. My daily routine revolves around feeding, exercise, playtime, and lots of attention, so welcoming another dog into our home fits in naturally. I make it a priority to ensure every dog feels safe, loved, and cared for as if they were my own. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home has a large, fully fenced yard where dogs can safely run and play. I also have a dedicated dog room, as well as kennels available if a dog needs their own space for meals, rest, or if separation is preferred. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and free of hazards, so you can feel confident that your dog will be in a safe environment. Whether your pup loves to play or simply relax, they’ll receive plenty of love, attention, and personalized care in a secure, welcoming home.
“Margot loves her walks and time with Kylee! So thankful we found an awesome doggie walker! I feel guilty for being unable to do long walks so it is amazing knowing Margie’s having a great time when we’re apart!”
“Mariah did a great job taking care of my dog! She was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared about making sure my dog was comfortable and well taken care of. Communication was easy, and I always felt confident knowing my dog was in good hands. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!”

About: I've owned and cared for all types of dogs. I've walked and cared for large and small. I've experenced easy, well trained to the most challenging. I love them all.

I treat every animal like my own and focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. I’m reliable, very responsive, and available for last-minute bookings when needed.

About: I’ve been dog and house-sitting since high school, and it’s something I’ve always loved doing! Even when I came home on college breaks, I made time to care for families’ pups. I have experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages, and I’ll make sure your furry friend feels safe, loved, and cared for like they’re my own. I work as a barista, so my shifts are short, which means plenty of time to spend with your pet. I often work early in the morning so I can be up for walks, feeding, and play time. I’ll care for your dog with love and attention, following all instructions for both your pet and home to ensure comfort, safety, and peace of mind.

Currently own 3 dogs, one is a 6 year old pit bull, the others are a 3 year old lab and a 6m old corgi. As your sitter you can expect your dog to play, run and be tuckered out by the time you come home. I also offer baths, nail trims and minor grooming. I am studyinging to get my ADT for dog training, I can offer some training in leash walking, manners and a few comands now but hope to expand that in the future. I look forward to meeting you and your 4 or 3 legged companions. Thank you for your consideration in you pet sitting needs. Im home all day except for school drop off and pick up for my kids. Weekends are always available unless my slots are full. If your dog has separation anxiety please inform me before booking so I can make arrangements for school drop off/pick up so your baby wont be left alone. With on demand potty breaks and play time your fur baby will have a ball here. Water is filled hourly or as needed and food is offered on the owner's schedule, 2am feedings for fluffy? Not a problem!
About: I’ve walked dogs around my neighborhood for the past four years. I have lots of experience with animals— I personally have many different animals such as dogs, cats, and others! I’ve had experience in the veterinary field and want to pursue the veterinary field and become a licensed veterinarian! I am free for whenever is needed! I am hoping to head over to college soon but in the mean time work up some cash! I have been walking dogs around my own neighborhood around four years now. I treat the animals week, in which they are safe and happy!
“Micah was an absolute blessing! Kirby was happy upon her arrival. She was prompt, reliable, trustworthy and will updated me when whike i was working which is always comforting. I don’t know what we would do without her!”
“Luciano was great! He listened to the specific needs of my fur babies and followed through on all instructions. He gave me updates on the boys and sent videos/photos daily. I felt such at ease during my trip out of state. The boys seemed very happy! I would highly recommend Luciano! I will definitely be booking with him again!”
About: I have owned dogs since was 9/10 years-old, and enjoy playing with dogs and love keeping them occupied espically puppies. For puppies, I like to help potty-train them by offering treats to understand that "outside is where we use the bathroom not inside". I also pay really close attention to due to possible getting into things. I watch out for things that could possibly hurt your dog. As a dog owener myself I will treat your dog as if it was my own dog at home, giving all the attention and play time there hearts desire. I’m currently not working so I am available during select times. I also know what it is like to need a caregiver for your pets while you are away on a business trip or just a quick get away from reality. I live in an apartment complex where everyone keeps to themselves but as for any home I would treat it as if it were my home and how I would want to make sure things are in the right place

“Angelica was wonderful. She took exceptional care of my pet. I felt so comfortable leaving Punkin with her. She treated her like she was part of her family!! Thank you so much. I will definitely trust you with my pet for any future vacations.”
“Danieris and Julian are a wonderful and kind couple. They welcomed my dog and communicated regularly about his stay and questions. I would absolutely use them again.”
“Great communication and daily updates with photos were all greatly appreciated during Archie’s stay. It looked like he had a blast from all the photos. We were even running behind on our travel back due to unexpected traffic and Sydney was able to accommodate us which we appreciated greatly!”
“Summer was absolutely amazing with our little girl, Bella, who is it puppy. Also, she just lost her brother, and was very commanding from losing a booking of two dogs down to one dog. On top of that, we had to readjust our schedule, and again was very accommodating to our circumstances! Hands-down for this dog sitter who went above, and beyond taking care of our little girl! I highly recommend her!!”
“Matt & Nicole took wonderful care of Marley! They communicated with us daily and sent photos as well. I would definitely recommend them and will be future customers! Many thanks for taking such good care of our pet!”
“They saved our Christmas! Our dog sitter for a family trip canceled at 9pm on Christmas Eve, and Shelisha responded promptly on Christmas morning, making it so we could take our kids up north to see their grandparents.”
“There are not enough words to describe how amazing our experience was. First let me start by saying my initial dog sitter Canceled on us the day before our flight to Columbia. Due to safety reasons because of the hurricane. I contacted Angie and she immediately responded and we did a meet and greet right away. My dogs loved her and family instantly. She provided multiple daily updates and tons of photos which will be printing out. Lol Leaving your dogs with someone such last min is never easy but Angie surely made it very smooth! Our dogs came home happy to see us but I can see they are sad to have left. If you need a sitter who is response, caring, loving and will treat your dog as thier own then this is your person! Recommend 1000% .”
