“Lori and Jim took wonderful care of our pups. Both were amazing, gentle, and loving with our two dogs. Lori was very responsive and thoughtful to send us frequent updates on our pups. We highly recommend Lori.”
“I’m 100% sure my golden doodle loved her stay with Thelma and her husband! Thelma helped my girl to realize she could swim, and taught her to find the stairs to get out of the pool. It was so nice to get pictures of my doodle while I was out of town, so reassuring that my girl was enjoying her stay. And there were other dogs there for her to play with, good time for an only dog. I am happy to recommend Thelma, and I’m sure I will book with her again.”
“Again I’ve had Marlena watch my pup several times and he has so much fun when he comes home, he sleeps for like 2 days lol That even went to the Farmers Market and took my pup with them and had him in dog carriage and he got all the attention and prob loved it lol”
“Cindy and Steve were awesome! Our dog Theo had a great time staying with them, and they were very excited to spend the 5 days with him. We received many photos and updates about our pup, and he was in great spirits when we picked him up. We really appreciated the meet and greet that Cindy and Steve offered us especially since our dog is young and we were a little nervous about leaving him. They were so kind and sensitive to that and made sure that we knew he was having a great stay with them. Thank you Cindy and Steve!!”
“Paco had an amazing stay with Viktoryia and Coco! I got lots of updates and photos. Would happily leave Paco with them again. Thank you for taking such good care of our boy!”
“Audrey and Joseph are always the first place I check when I need a sitter! They do a great job of making my pup feel welcome and send daily photos. Trust them 100% with my fur baby.”
“We had an excellent experience boarding our senior diabetic Schnoodle, who requires special care and insulin injections twice daily. The care was exceptional. Jewell has a very kind and calm personality and we felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. We highly recommend Jewell for anyone looking for compassionate, attentive, and reliable care!”
“Deborah did a fantastic job! She communicated to advise if all was going well. Was very professional and in my opinion, is an expert in dog sitting. She has several dogs and is well equipped to manage a dog. Was pleasantly surprised how easy the process was and how my Lola enjoyed the stay. Great experience and will definitely use her service again!!”
“Morgan and her family are very welcoming and Nala had lots of fun with all of her kids. Morgan did a great job keeping me up to date of Nala and sending me pictures and videos. Nala had lots of fun. Thank you Morgan as a first time user of this app, you increase my confidence.”
“Linda and Brian cared for our Rue girl for two weeks while we were out of the country. It’s impossible to put into words how much we appreciate the love and care that was extended to our baby. She made fast friends with their sweet dog, Carmi, and Linda sent daily pictures or videos showing them having so much fun together and then napping together from exhaustion. Linda made the time to meet us well in advance of caring for Rue and really listened to what Rue needed, including walks, being brushed, the ability to have her crate to sleep or take breaks in when she wanted, and following her feeding schedule. Linda allowed Rue free rein in her home, and even made time for her to relax on the lanai to people and bird watch; something she loves to do at home. Rue had an amazing time, and this allowed my husband and I to really enjoy our vacation knowing she was having the time of her life too. We wholeheartedly recommend Linda for pet sitting services. I don’t think you’ll find anyone as wonderful as Linda and Brian out there! (Thank you so much for everything, Linda!)”
“Mila had a great stay! They gave her lots of loving and sent pictures through out her stay! Whenever we go out of town again I know Mila will be in good hands:)”
“This was our first time using Alicia and our 11 year old dog had previously been going to another lady for several years. His first night with Alicia he was a little sad and unsure but he acclimated quickly. Alicia was very responsive to us when we reached out and made him feel safe and secure.”
“Kathrin was kind, professional, and very responsive. Her home is clean and in a nice neighborhood and our little Minnie seemed to have had a great time with her family. Kathrin took Minnie on walks and sent lots of photo updates. She takes very professional looking photos so that was an added bonus! Would highly recommend 👍🏽”
“**⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Care and Communication** I cannot recommend Audrey and Karson highly enough! They provided outstanding care for Cairo during our time away, and their communication throughout the entire experience was truly exceptional. The peace of mind that comes from such excellent communication cannot be overstated. As a pet parent, knowing exactly how your furry family member is doing while you’re away is invaluable. We will definitely be booking with Audrey and Karson again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their services to other pet owners looking for reliable, caring, and communicative pet care. **Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Cairo!**”

About: Hi! I’m Brandi and I’ve had my own cat Leo for the past four years, so we completely understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your cat. Cayden has been around cats and Leo as well so we both know they’re family, and leaving them with someone else can be stressful! We’ll treat your cat with the same care and attention we would want someone to give Leo. We’re happy to follow their normal routine, whether that means playtime and cuddles, keeping them company, or simply giving them space if they’re more independent. We’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and plenty of love while you’re away. We are dependable, attentive, and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your cat is happy and well cared for. 🐱❤️
“Olivia was great and did a great job. I have had other pet sitters in the past and they forgot something but Olivia did not. She is a professional pet sitter and passionate about animals.”
“Kathy was so helpful. She came every day to check on our kitty, sent us photos and updated us on everything. We are truly grateful that we found her. Definitely will be booking her when we go out of town again. Thank you so much, Kathy.”
“Jill is awesome!!!!! So great with the kitties! Reliable, professional, and so kind!! Have used her several times, already have her booked for a long trip later in the year and would not hesitate to book her again. Love her!”
“Highly recommend Nevaeh! I felt more at ease using this app for the first time and leaving my pups overnight. She provided updates and included pics every drop in. Would 100% use her again 🤍”
“From the moment Amelia met my dogs during our meet-and-greet, it was obvious that she was very comfortable with pets, which was extremely important to me. She was punctual for both the meet-and-greet and every visit, followed all of the instructions, and communicated very well throughout. Most importantly, my dogs were comfortable with her, and I felt they received genuinely kind, attentive, and caring care. I will definitely be using Amelia again for my future pet-sitting needs and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.”
“Amanda was warm and caring immediately, so I knew my rabbit would like her company! He usually hides when new people are around but he came out and let her love on him during each visit. She kept me updated the whole time I was away and sent me pictures of my boy!! I felt at ease knowing Clyde was in her care. Thank you, Amanda!”
“We’ve already booked Michelle for the next month - yes - we liked her that much. It was evident that she’s very comfort with dogs. She asked the right questions to get to know the pups during meet and greet. The visit went smoothly. Great communication throughout.”
“Emma is the BEST! She was available extremely last minute when my husband and I had to go out of town for a family emergency. She still found time in her day to make sure she did a meet and greet to meet our babies before we left. The whole time we were away she was sending us pictures and staying in communication with us so we knew our fur babies were in good hands. Leaving your pets while traveling can be stressful but Emma truly made sure we had nothing to worry about! We have a newly diagnosed diabetic cat and she made sure he got his insulin twice a day. Your pets are in great hands with Emma, and I cannot recommend her enough!”
“Daniella was amazing to Frank! She went above and beyond to make sure Frank had lots of love while I was traveling over the holidays! Very reliable and communicative. 100% will book again!”
“Dennis is a fantastic sitter. Very professional and super nice. I wanted to find a sitter that specialized in cats that way I felt more comfortable while on vacation. He made sure to send a text with pictures of Poptart to show how she was doing. If you have a cat that has medical needs he can also take care of that. Overall I'll definitely be using Dennis in the future and recommend to anyone with a cat to use his services.”

About: I have trained my dogs since I was fourteen and have a love for pets. I don't work and live in a home with a large backyard so your pets will have my full attention. I have two friendly loving dogs I take care of who would love to have extra friends to play with. :) Sorry but no pit bulls or aggressive breeds will be accepted. Thank you for your understanding. I stay at home but of course may go out for groceries or a small amount of time to the gym. My doggies are well taken care of and spoiled and would love some furry friends to play with. My backyard provides a good area for bathroom breaks and is cleaned on a regular basis. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and bed and are an integral part of my daily life and routine. They are very loved and they know it! :) Bathroom breaks are frequent as I keep an eye on their needs and the water bowls are always clean and available for them.

The atmosphere here is serene and I’d love to share that with more pups in my neighborhood! Since I work with dogs full time I can offer my services any day of the week for boarding, sitting, and drop ins. I let the dogs outside typically every two hours or less. Caring for pups is my main daily priority! While I make a point to set appropriate boundaries and keep an eye on everybody, I believe in leading with kindness. My dog and I like to go for sniff walks so pups that stay with me and like walking will go with us for those. They will also be spending time in the fenced area of the yard or pool cage while I am with them supervising, if it is not too hot outside. I have crates if I need to kennel any pup.

“Mylena is amazing! My dog Tessa has never been around children and let her know I was worried about that and she put me at ease the morning of drop off. This was my first time putting my animal in boarding before. Mylena texted me EVERY day with pics and updates. My heart broke leaving her for 2 weeks, but I knew she was in great hands. I will ALWAYS go back when I need a pet sitter. Thank youuuuu so much for making my girl feel right at home. Highly recommend!!!!!!!”
About: I’m very active who works from home with my own 1.5yr old Lab who’s an absolute angel with no mean bone in his body. There is a large dog park 30 yards from my apartment and a large lake your dogs will get to enjoy plenty as I always aim for 15k steps a day. I watch another large Lab and Golden frequently so very used to handling large, strong dogs! I work from home Monday through Friday and always up by 7am. I take my dog on a long morning walk, lunch and evening with dog park visits sprinkled in between. I along with your dogs love to get sun and fresh air as often as possible. I use the apartment gym for 45min daily and have a Furbo camera to view dogs. My place is 1,005 sq ft inside always cold from the Florida heat with a large fenced in dog park just 30yds from me your dogs will enjoy multiple times a day! I understand how nice it is for a dog to have fun and get all their energy out so you can have extra relaxation and peace of mind!
“This is Cooper’s 2nd stay with Amy and we are extremely happy! He adjusts well and enjoys having her family giving him lots of love! We also appreciate the frequent photos of Cooper while we are away. Thank you!!”
“Jeffrey and Stephanie are fantastic dog sitters — I couldn't recommend them more highly! From the very first meet-and-greet, they were warm, attentive, and clearly dog people through and through. They kept me updated with photos and messages throughout every stay, so I always knew my pup was happy, safe, and having a great time. My dog absolutely adores them. It's such a relief to have sitters I trust completely — they treat my dog like family. Highly recommend booking with them!”
“Tina took great care of Murphy! I could tell she felt right at home with her. It’s obvious that Tina loves dogs. The photos and videos she sent put me at ease knowing that Murphy was happy and having fun.”
“Nicole and her family were wonderful with my pug and French bulldog! They are a true dog family and Nicole has prior dog experience that was very helpful in terms of gauging behavior, interaction with other dogs, and any individual needs. They gave them lots of playtime as well as breaks/rest, asked good questions, and shared photos & videos. Nicole has a large fenced-in yard that my dogs loved tearing around in. Their family also were able to help on short notice when I had a family emergency out-of-state, which made a huge difference. Thank you SO much for caring for my pups!”
“Picked our bernadoodle up earlier today from her first visit/overnight stay with Hope and Scott. Video/photos and text exchanged. We couldn't be happier with the service they provided. Had a bad experience with a previous sitter who temporarily lost our dog. I know our Teddi is now safe and sound with Hope and Scotts care.”
About: NEW ACCOUNT, SAME AMAZING STAR SITTER ALERT 🚨 ‼️🚨 I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life. Growing up, my family fostered dogs, which gave me experience with pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Now that I have kids of my own who absolutely love animals, I still enjoy welcoming furry guests into my home. I will treat your dog like part of my family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who works from home, so your pup will get plenty of attention, love, and care throughout the day! Because I’m home most of the time, I’m also able to accommodate puppies and provide frequent potty breaks, playtime, and supervision. I love having furry friends around, and since I usually stay local, you can feel confident that your dog will have consistent care during their entire stay. I enjoy taking daily walks, playing fetch, and making sure every dog gets the exercise and affection they need. My goal is to make your dog feel comfortable, safe, and loved—as if they were part of our own family. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and burn off energy together under supervision. I make sure every pup gets plenty of outdoor time, playtime, daily walks, and lots of love and attention. Since I work from home, your dog won't be left alone for long periods and will receive frequent potty breaks, meals according to their normal schedule, and any medications or special care they need. I treat every dog like a member of our family and do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and at home during their stay.
