“Kaitland provided excellent care for our dog while we were out of town. He had a great time and seemed to really enjoy the environment at her house. Kaitland kept us up to date with pictures everyday. Great experience!!”
“Marlena was absolutely amazing with our dog, Winnie! From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely at ease knowing she was in great hands. Marlena sent us daily updates and adorable pictures that showed how happy and comfortable Winnie was the entire time. It’s clear that she truly loves and understands dogs. Winnie came back happy, healthy, and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, Marlena is the best! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and loving to watch their pup.”
“Edward is a “Dog Whisperer”! He was GREAT with my dog Milli. Kept me informed of her well being and what a wonderful time she had with him. I would recommend him to anyone that wants their dog treated with loving care! Thank you, Edward! I would give you 10 stars but the scale only goes up to five.😊👏🏽👍🏽”
“Hi was great with Cooper and I received several updates! He seems to have had a great stay. We hope that he will be able to return in the future! Highly recommend ❤️”
“Shannon took great care of our sweet Sophie!! Appreciated the updates she gave and knowing that Sophie was having a wonderful time with her, other doggy friends, and her family.”
“Kelly and Brian look at Lakota like she's one of their own. We never have to worry about her while she's with them. Kelly and Brian helped Lakota celebrate her 10th birthday while we were gone. They got her a cupcake and sent photos of her enjoying her cake while wearing a party hat. We really can't thank them enough for the care they provide her.”
“I had such a great experience! My dogs clearly had an amazing time and looked like they were having the time of their lives. Brooke was very attentive and kept me updated throughout their stay, sending pictures every day and letting me know how they were eating and doing. I really appreciated the communication and knowing that they were being well cared for. When they came home, they were completely worn out, which tells me they had a wonderful time! I’m very happy with the care they received and will definitely be using Brooke again. Highly recommend!”
“Just a wonderful experience for my girl Fenway. My work keeps me away for long stretches and it has taken “many” Rover caregivers and she is one of the best.”
“Megan was amazing with Louie! This was our first time leaving our pup with someone he didn’t know. Megan provided great updates which put my nerves at ease. I will definitely be reusing her in the future.”
“I really don’t have the words to explain how amazing my sweet Daisy did with Ms. Alicia and her husband. Ever since adopting Daisy my boyfriend and I have always been really nervous about leaving her with people that she doesn’t know. We did a meet and greet before her stay, she became attached and did very well. They did so much with her (car rides, walks, playtime), sent me pictures and videos throughout our week of being gone. We never once felt nervous or worried that our baby wasn’t loved and cared for. We are so thankful we have found the greatest dog sitter for our sweet baby. If you are looking for a fun, loving, reliable, caring dog sitter, she is the dog sitter for you.”
“Wendy was absolutely amazing! She treated my fur baby with so much love and care! Would highly recommend her anytime as well as I intend on using her services in the future!”
“Imani did such a great job with my fur baby! She sent pics and kept great communication! She def loves what she does and she have a beautiful family who shares the same feeling. Def recommend and would send Blu back!”
“Hannah was really great with my senior dog and cat. She had a calm and warming presence about her and my animals were well taken care of. Will definitely ask for her on the future!”
“This is the second time I have used Angela and like always my pup had the best time! He comes home worn out yet ready to go back! She is so attentive and sends me picture throughout the stay! I cannot recommend her enough! I will 100% use her again!”

There are locks on either side and we do have cameras for extra security. Your furbaby is our furbaby while you’re away❤️
“Linda was absolutely wonderful with our little Beau! ❤️ We were away for an engagement weekend for our daughter, and from the moment we dropped him off until the moment we picked him up, we felt completely confident that he was in the best hands. Linda kept us updated with photos along the way, and it was so reassuring to see Beau happy, comfortable, and clearly enjoying his stay. She took such wonderful care of him and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We will definitely work with Linda again — she’s the best!! 🐾❤️”
“They were so sweet and took great care of our little guy! Sent pictures and updates of walks -will definitely be our go to sitters if they are available! Thank you so much :)”
“Gissell and her family were the best. She sent regular updates throughout the day. She and her family loved on my fur babies and made them feel right at home. Definitely rebooked before current visit was done.❤️”

“Bryce and his wife were able to come visit my kitty with only a days notice. They took their time to let him warm up to them and sent me pictures and great updates. Thankful to have some peace of mind that he was doing ok while I was gone.”
“Sara was awesome with my cat Blaze! She sent pictures and updates and was very understanding when we had to cut our beach trip short because of a hurricane. Will definitely be using Sara again in the future!”
“★★★★★ Macy was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of both of my dogs while I was away, checking in three times a day and spending quality time walking, feeding, and interacting with them so they felt comfortable and secure. When Khaleesi unexpectedly became sick, Macy went above and beyond and took her to the emergency vet for me, which gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was out of state. She kept me fully informed throughout my entire trip and was dependable, caring, and attentive. I came home to two happy, well-cared-for dogs. I would absolutely trust Macy with my girls again and highly recommend her!”
“Isis is an amazing sitter! She took such good care of our fur baby! This was our first experience with using Rover and she made things so easy! Isis was so friendly, dependable and great at communicating things to me..we will definitely be looking to book her to take care of our kitty again our next vacation!”
“Hirono did a fantastic job caring for my four cats for a weekend trip away. She communicated well, was punctual for 2x/day visits, and put me completely at ease leaving my babies in her capable hands. I've never had a catsitter who scooped the litterbox during visits, so I felt that was an amazing touch. I very much enjoyed my first booking with Rover; the daily report cards and pictures were so cute and much appreciated, and I would definitely rebook with Hirono again. Thank you!”
“Brooke is hands down amazing. Our 3-week work trip turned into a month and Brooke went above and beyond for our 2 beautiful kitties. Many who aren’t cat owners believe that cats are just fine alone and can be for many days at a time. That is a huge myth and our babies are extremely social furballs. Brooke spent an hour every other day with them, playing and cuddling and I know that they were in fantastic hands. She is extremely professional and quick to respond. Seriously don’t look at any other sitter because she is the best you will find in the area. A few years ago when we used Rover for the first time we were gone 23 days, the sitter that we paid to come over every other day decided to just not come by about halfway through our vacation. Our cats ripped through their food bag, their water was just about empty, and litter box overflowing. Animals are the most innocent creatures that rely on us to protect and keep them alive. Brooke not only sent us an abundant amount of photos she really cares about your animal and ensures they are extremely well cared for. I cannot thank her enough and will be definitely rebooking in the future. Seriously do not book anyone else, she’s a rock star I can’t say it enough.”
“Tania was straight forward, it was very easy to meet her and hire her. She made constant contact when showing go to my property to check in on my cat while I was away. I would definitely recommend and book her again.”
“She was wonderful!!! I️ had to leave last minute for a family emergency and she was so communicative and sweet with my cat! My girl loved her and she took good care of her! 10/10 recommend !”
“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’m especially thankful that I’m able to use her for the month that I’m here. She has been so kind, reliable, and wonderful to work with. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets! 🐾🤍”
“Nancy did an excellent job dropping in to take care of my cat, Arthur, for six days while I was out of town. She was also able to accommodate me on extremely short notice, as a sitter that I had lined up had to cancel just a few days before the trip due to a family emergency. Nancy stopped by at the right time every day to give Arthur consistent care, which is important for a cat that can be fussy and relies on routine. She told me that she enjoyed brushing cats' coats when I first met her, and when I got back, Arthur's coat was beautiful! Arthur clearly enjoyed Nancy's visits, and I'll be sure to call on her again the next time I take a trip.”

“This is the third time we have hired Lexi in the last six weeks.... and there is a reason she has become our "go-to" sitter -- our kitties love her, and she does a great job. There is not much we can say that has not already been written in prior reviews -- we are very happy having Lexi take care of our home and our cats while we are out of town. :-)”
“CJ house sat for our cat while we were away and she was amazing. Gave him so much love and attention and kept us updated daily with adorable pics. So grateful for her willingness to book last minute too. We came home to a super happy kitty.”

About: I volunteered at Ana’s Angels for 3 years, I walked the dogs, made them look nice and presentable for people wanting to adopt them, I fed them, gave them water, and cleaned up their poop. I will be able to do the same, if not more for your dog or puppy. I am a big animal lover, and would love to help you out! I have my own animal at home, but able to come during the day or board any cats that are friendly with other cats as needed. I will come to your home and take your pet and whatever they may need…if they need a walk, to be let out, fed/water, or even some love. I am very respectful and will follow whatever rules you oblige upon me, and will show your pet so much love and care!
About: Hi! My name's Gisselle I’m 26, an animal lover, and part of a proud military family. I got into pet boarding as a way to help my family financially while also pursuing something I genuinely love—caring for animals . Growing up with different animals helped develope an understanding that can only come with experience. What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with dogs and my commitment to providing exceptional care. I've cared for dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities, including fostering and rescuing dogs from neglectful situations. Through hands-on experience and self-education in canine behavior and training, I've developed the skills to understand and meet each dog's unique needs. Whether caring for playful puppies, active adults, or senior dogs, I provide a safe, loving, and dependable environment that gives pet owners peace of mind. I'm currently unemployed and have a great support system of friends and my spouse who LOVE dogs. Not tied to many commitments, leaving me free to be present & dog sit day/night. Typically only gone to do errands. Which isn't more than 2 hrs at a time. Available Mon-Sun for nights and days. I understand the concerns that come with leaving your fur baby in the care of someone you may not know. My goal is not only to provide your pup with quality care, but to ensure they are treated with the same love, attention, and compassion I would give my own. A few of the protocols I have in place when your pup boards with me include, but are not limited to: regular photo and video updates, testimonials and reviews from previous clients, and passing my Rover background. For your pet’s safety, I am always physically present when they are outside to help prevent any potential escapes or elopements. I also have cameras on the property to monitor the surroundings, and I keep the contact information and locations of nearby veterinarians and animal hospitals readily available in case of an emergency.
“Thank you so much for welcoming my babies into your home and taking good care of them. I can tell they had a great time and felt right at home. I appreciate the pictures and communication about how they’re doing through the day. I definitely plan to book more services with you in the future!”
“Hunnyhad an amazing day making new friends.. This was the best experience I have ever had being new to the area and I would most definitely recommend Marilyn if you want your baby safe and well taken care of. Hunny will only be going to Marilyn Q.”
About: I’ve always lived with many cats and dogs my whole life. I’ve had a variety of pets of all ages including rabbits, snakes, bearded dragons, hamsters.

We take the dogs on daily walks and sometimes to the park. We are always spending time outdoors in our spacious back yard with our dogs running around and cats climbing trees and roofs and such! I have 2 dogs and 2 cats both very friendly if spending time together! I also have a fenced in yard with a garden. I have a separate indoor petroom stocked with a couple crates (if needed for my big dog), enclosed cat litter boxes, a large cat climbing tree, plenty of pet food and treats, many water bowls and toys for all! And a very family friendly neighborhood for walks and a spacious (not fenced) park as well.

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and have experience caring for my own Siberian Husky, Bluey. I understand the importance of keeping dogs safe, active, and on their normal routine. I’ll treat your pet like family by providing plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, and lots of love. I know every dog is different, and I’ll follow your care instructions to make sure your pet feels comfortable and happy while you’re away. I’m home most of the day, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, playtime, and supervision. I have a flexible schedule and will make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. I only take one family’s pets at a time so I can give them my full attention. I always supervise dogs while they’re outside and follow each owner’s instructions carefully. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is safe and having a great time.
About: My husband and I have cared for dogs our whole lives. We have experience taking care of dogs of all sizes and ages. We also have experience with leash training, teaching commands, and crate training. Between Chad and I, there will almost always be someone at house watching your dog. Our fully fenced in yard allows us to let your dog run around and play at anytime. We typically feed all of our animals 2x a day, but can feed your’s on a different schedule if needed. All dogs are taken out every 4 hours during the day. At night, the last potty break is around midnight, and the first one around 7am. Since we have 4 dogs of our own, we are used to building our time around them. If we are ever gone from the house, we put the dogs in their crates for their safety and comfort. As mentioned above, we have a fully fenced in lot with ample space for dogs to run around and enjoy. We love dogs and any dog that we care for will be treated as if it is our own. We love snuggling with them in bed, throwing the ball outside, and taking them on walks. Our goal is to make your dog feel as comfortable and as at home as possible. Due to our schedules, one of us is always home unless we run an errand together, so your dog will always be in great company. We have 4 dogs: 1 fixed female dachshund 4yo, 1 fixed male dachshund 8yo, 1 intact male bloodhound 8yo, 1 intact male hound mix 1yo. All of our dogs are up to date on shots and have ample experience playing with other dogs. The dachshund’s tend to do their own thing, and the hounds love to spend as much time as they can outside. None of our dog’s are aggressive, but we are prepared to separate any of our dogs from the main living space, if ever needed. We also have an indoor/outdoor cat who is up to date on shots, he usually stays in our room, closed off from everyone else when inside. We have a 1.5 year old son who adores all animals and will love your dog. We take precautions to make sure he is never getting into a dog’s space and disturbing their space. Our son’s room is gated off from all animals. We have a fenced off area in the back of our property with chickens.
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!
“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.”
“My pup, bandit, had a great time. I scheduled a day care for Tuesday and Thursday. On Thursday, as soon as I pulled into the drive way, Bandit got really excited. Jerome sent pictures both days and updates, he even fed him dinner which wasn’t necessary since I plan on feeding him when he got him but it was super kind of him!! Bandit is a high energy dog and when he got home all he did was sleep which is great! I would definitely recommend Jerome and I would use him again. He was very nice and accommodating, treating my dog as his own :)”
“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 years of hands-on experience caring for my own dogs, family friends’ dogs, and other pets. I currently care for three dogs and two pet snakes, so I’m familiar with meeting the needs of different animals and keeping a consistent routine. I’ve helped raise two litters of puppies, giving me experience with dogs from newborns through their senior years. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, cleaning enclosures, playtime, and giving medication when clear instructions are provided. Most of my experience is with small dogs, though I’ve also cared for larger breeds, including a pit bull. I’m comfortable working with dogs of different personalities, whether they’re energetic, shy, or anxious. I believe every dog deserves patient, attentive care and someone who treats them with the same love and respect they give us. This stays truthful while highlighting your experience in a way that helps build trust with potential clients. I’m currently a college student with a flexible schedule. I’m available before 9:00 AM and after 1:00 PM on weekdays, and I’m available all day Friday through Sunday. I do my best to keep my calendar up to date and respond promptly so pet parents know they can count on me. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications with clear instructions. I understand that every pet has a different personality, so I adjust my approach to help them feel comfortable, whether they’re energetic, shy, or anxious. My goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible while providing plenty of attention, affection, and care. I’ll also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pet is safe and happy
About: I’ve cared for animals throughout my life, including my own pets and those of clients, friends, and family. As a veterinary technician, I work with cats and dogs every day, providing compassionate care. I’ve worked with pets sized from newborn kittens to Great Danes. I also volunteered as a dog walker and animal enrichment volunteer at the humane society, gaining experience with dogs of many different personalities and medical/behavioral needs. As a foster parent, I’ve raised several neonatal and underage litters in my home, providing the around-the-clock care and attention. Animals are my passion, and caring for them has become a lifelong commitment of mine. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, some extra attention, or more specialized care, I treat every animal I meet with the same compassion and dedication I would give my own. My goal is always to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work full time as a veterinary technician, so my schedule is limited to the weekends and Mondays. I am willing to work around my work duties to provide compassionate pet care! I believe the best pet care starts with getting to know each animal and maintaining the routine they’re accustomed to. Before caring for a pet, I take the time to learn about their personality, daily schedule, feeding routine, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions from their owner. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the pet and their space, and I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and companionship while also giving pets the space they need to feel comfortable. I’m experienced with pets of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and medical needs, and I’m comfortable administering medications and providing moderate-level medical care when appropriate. My veterinary experience also allows me to recognize changes in behavior, appetite, energy, or other signs that something may be wrong. Most importantly, I treat every pet as an individual and care for them with the same patience, compassion, and attention I would want for my own animals.

All dogs are taken out every 4 hours during the day. At night, the last potty break is around midnight, and the first one around 7am. Since we have 4 dogs of our own, we are used to building our time around them. If we are ever gone from the house, we put the dogs in their crates for their safety and comfort. As mentioned above, we have a fully fenced in lot with ample space for dogs to run around and enjoy. We love dogs and any dog that we care for will be treated as if it is our own. We love snuggling with them in bed, throwing the ball outside, and taking them on walks. Our goal is to make your dog feel as comfortable and as at home as possible. Due to our schedules, one of us is always home unless we run an errand together, so your dog will always be in great company. We have 4 dogs: 1 fixed female dachshund 4yo, 1 fixed male dachshund 8yo, 1 intact male bloodhound 8yo, 1 intact male hound mix 1yo. All of our dogs are up to date on shots and have ample experience playing with other dogs. The dachshund’s tend to do their own thing, and the hounds love to spend as much time as they can outside. None of our dog’s are aggressive, but we are prepared to separate any of our dogs from the main living space, if ever needed. We also have an indoor/outdoor cat who is up to date on shots, he usually stays in our room, closed off from everyone else when inside. We have a 1.5 year old son who adores all animals and will love your dog. We take precautions to make sure he is never getting into a dog’s space and disturbing their space. Our son’s room is gated off from all animals. We have a fenced off area in the back of our property with chickens.
About: I volunteered at Ana’s Angels for 3 years, I walked the dogs, made them look nice and presentable for people wanting to adopt them, I fed them, gave them water, and cleaned up their poop. I will be able to do the same, if not more for your dog or puppy. I am a big animal lover, and would love to help you out! I have my own animal at home, but able to come during the day or board any cats that are friendly with other cats as needed. I will come to your home and take your pet and whatever they may need…if they need a walk, to be let out, fed/water, or even some love. I am very respectful and will follow whatever rules you oblige upon me, and will show your pet so much love and care!
About: As the saying goes, we truly do not deserve our pets. Most of us know this already. But our pets do deserve someone who not only recognizes this fact, but actively works to desperately earn that love and affection they shower us with day in and day out. I am that person :) I am currently between jobs with a bit of a financial cushion to keep me steady for a few months. This will fit in perfectly with my schedule because it’s completely free right now. I am in school right now for Human Services but that will not affect my work. My girl (Maggie) has her crate from when she was a puppy and that’s still very roomy for her, but she doesn’t use it really unless she’s pouting before i leave and she knows she’s not going with me. My house is very clean and she always has fresh water, plenty of potty breaks and lots of pets. Maggie is a bit of a ‘petmaxxer’ where she will consistently bother me until she receives enough pets, but let me tell you, there is never enough pets for her! She’s is my life.
“CJ was amazing in winning the trust of our anxious pup, Lily. She calmly worked through Lily's fears and became her friend over the course of just 2 walks! She is patient, enthusiastic, and clearly loves animals. We highly recommend CJ!”
About: I truly feel that it is my duty to ensure the happiness and safety of each pet in my care. I keep that motto at the forefront of my mind each and every day that I spend with your pet. Because I am aware of how much pets contribute to our lives, it is my responsibility to ensure that your pet receives the same level of affection and care as they do at home. Even though I've been an animal lover all my life, my experience with dogs is much more extensive than that. Because I love dogs so much, making them as happy as possible is second nature to me. I've worked in cat and dog boarding and daycare for more than ten years. I've worked with hundreds of dogs and wouldn't change it for the world! I have loved and cared for all sizes of dogs, animals with special needs and pets in need of injections or oral medications also Seniors and declining. When acquiring a new customer, usually I like to arrange a meet-and-greet. It's a great way to make sure we're all a good match, which is very important to me. Also, it gives us a chance to talk face-to-face about your expectations for your dog's care. Since you know your dog better than anyone else, it's always fun to talk to owners in person about what makes him or her tail wag. Finally. I adore getting to know new dogs and demonstrate I am a welcome presence and I am here to make friends. My everyday availability is twenty- four hours a day and seven days a week unless i update my calendar because i am completely booked with pets. In my home - No pets allowed on beds, fenced yard, non-smoking household, walks every few hours in owners home - walks every few hours, overnight boarding available

“Kaitland provided excellent care for our dog while we were out of town. He had a great time and seemed to really enjoy the environment at her house. Kaitland kept us up to date with pictures everyday. Great experience!!”
“Marlena was absolutely amazing with our dog, Winnie! From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely at ease knowing she was in great hands. Marlena sent us daily updates and adorable pictures that showed how happy and comfortable Winnie was the entire time. It’s clear that she truly loves and understands dogs. Winnie came back happy, healthy, and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, Marlena is the best! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and loving to watch their pup.”
“Edward is a “Dog Whisperer”! He was GREAT with my dog Milli. Kept me informed of her well being and what a wonderful time she had with him. I would recommend him to anyone that wants their dog treated with loving care! Thank you, Edward! I would give you 10 stars but the scale only goes up to five.😊👏🏽👍🏽”
“Shannon took great care of our sweet Sophie!! Appreciated the updates she gave and knowing that Sophie was having a wonderful time with her, other doggy friends, and her family.”
“Kelly and Brian look at Lakota like she's one of their own. We never have to worry about her while she's with them. Kelly and Brian helped Lakota celebrate her 10th birthday while we were gone. They got her a cupcake and sent photos of her enjoying her cake while wearing a party hat. We really can't thank them enough for the care they provide her.”
“I had such a great experience! My dogs clearly had an amazing time and looked like they were having the time of their lives. Brooke was very attentive and kept me updated throughout their stay, sending pictures every day and letting me know how they were eating and doing. I really appreciated the communication and knowing that they were being well cared for. When they came home, they were completely worn out, which tells me they had a wonderful time! I’m very happy with the care they received and will definitely be using Brooke again. Highly recommend!”
“Just a wonderful experience for my girl Fenway. My work keeps me away for long stretches and it has taken “many” Rover caregivers and she is one of the best.”
“Megan was amazing with Louie! This was our first time leaving our pup with someone he didn’t know. Megan provided great updates which put my nerves at ease. I will definitely be reusing her in the future.”
“I really don’t have the words to explain how amazing my sweet Daisy did with Ms. Alicia and her husband. Ever since adopting Daisy my boyfriend and I have always been really nervous about leaving her with people that she doesn’t know. We did a meet and greet before her stay, she became attached and did very well. They did so much with her (car rides, walks, playtime), sent me pictures and videos throughout our week of being gone. We never once felt nervous or worried that our baby wasn’t loved and cared for. We are so thankful we have found the greatest dog sitter for our sweet baby. If you are looking for a fun, loving, reliable, caring dog sitter, she is the dog sitter for you.”
“Wendy was absolutely amazing! She treated my fur baby with so much love and care! Would highly recommend her anytime as well as I intend on using her services in the future!”
“Imani did such a great job with my fur baby! She sent pics and kept great communication! She def loves what she does and she have a beautiful family who shares the same feeling. Def recommend and would send Blu back!”
“Hannah was really great with my senior dog and cat. She had a calm and warming presence about her and my animals were well taken care of. Will definitely ask for her on the future!”
“This is the second time I have used Angela and like always my pup had the best time! He comes home worn out yet ready to go back! She is so attentive and sends me picture throughout the stay! I cannot recommend her enough! I will 100% use her again!”

“Gissell and her family were the best. She sent regular updates throughout the day. She and her family loved on my fur babies and made them feel right at home. Definitely rebooked before current visit was done.❤️”
“We can’t say enough good things about Cynthia — or as Lambeau knows her, Grandma G! From the start, she treated Lambeau like family. Lambeau got to play outside, cuddle on the couch, and even enjoy a little yogurt (her new favorite treat). Cynthia kept us updated and clearly adored spending time with her. It’s such a relief knowing our pup is in such kind and caring hands. We’re so thankful for Grandma G and can’t wait for Lambeau’s next stay!”
“Our Doberman, Ana, has stayed with Debra multiple times and has received excellent care and attention every stay. Ana has some major health issues now and I was worried about leaving her. Debra was so kind and made sure our dog was comfortable and happy. She went above and beyond and sent us pics and updates every day so we could relax and enjoy our cruise knowing that Ana was okay. So thankful to have found Debra! She is amazing!!!”
“Richard was the best! He went above and beyond all of our expectations. We were a little bit nervous at first because this was our dog’s first stay away from us, but Richard eased all of our nerves! He surpassed all our expectations. Not only did he take amazing care of our dog as if he was his own, but also sent lots of photos/videos throughout the week so that we never felt too far away. He even noticed some allergy hotspots and gave him a soothing bath to help. We would highly recommend Richard!”
