Kathy was wonderful! Daily updates via email with pictures really helped put my mind at ease about leaving my babies for the first time. They even got a stocking and a toy on Christmas Day! I will definitely use Kathy again and I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter.

Cherolyn is wonderful with Simba- she is so happy to spend time with him and I know he gets so much love and attention from the updates she provides. He also comes home tired which is a great sign that he has lots of playtime when he is there. He also squeals with delight and excitement during the car ride when he realizes he is going there. I couldn’t ask for more in a sitter!

Frances took such great care of my fur babies! I felt 100% confident leaving them with her. They were free to have full reign of the home as if they lived there. They also had a nice big back yard to explore if they wanted. She gave them extra perks like watermelon on a hot day (we talked in advance about treats) and a cooling mat to lie on. Don’t look any further! You’ve found a gem 💎

Linda was a terrific nanny for Oscar! She responded very quickly to my request, had a prompt and positive meet and greet… and was kind and caring during Oscar’s stay. We received numerous pictures of his “making himself at home” and a happy reunion after 12 days. Highly recommended!

Viktoryia was a pleasure to talk to and her whole family definitely loves and cares for dogs. Her place is amazing and the dogs absolutely couldn’t get enough of their little adventure. We picked our pups up clean and happy, you could tell they had a lot of fun! I would recommend everyone to reach out as we were worried about our boys but she kept us informed and confident the entire time we were away!

Leslie was a fantastic dog sitter for my 12 pound, 13 year old Malti-Poo! She went above and beyond with him as he is an older dog and needed medications given which she did willingly. She communicated with me quickly and often and sent pictures each evening of my sweet Buddy as he relaxed and played and this level of communication made me feel great about leaving Buddy with a sitter for the first time in his life. In fact, she took such great care of Buddy that he almost didn't want to leave and come home to South Carolina with me. Finally, Leslie's location was ideal and very convenient to Siesta Key and her fenced in big back yard is just what everyone wants for their dog. I would highly recommend Leslie to anyone who needs a dog sitter.

Jewell is a true jewel!! My nervous pup flourished with her and her sweet pups. My dog is a singlet and isn’t around dogs a lot !Jewell’s pups welcomed her into their home and became great friends with my pup. I appreciate the socialization she received while staying with Jewell. We will be using her again. She is amazing, her home setup is perfect. Jewell is fantastic for nervous dogs. Highly recommended!

Morgan is an amazing dog sitter! It’s so nice to have someone that spends their life taking care of dogs watching over your fur kids and not someone just trying to fit the dogs into their life. As happy as my dogs were to see us, we think they were sad to leave Morgan’s house and the new buddies they met and played with!! We highly recommend Morgan!!

About: I’ve had pets since I was a young girl. There was always a dog and cats in the house, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I recently lost my dog to old age, and I really miss that daily companionship, which is why I’d love to help care for other people’s pets. I’ve pet sat for friends, family, and neighbors over the years, and now I’m ready to open that up to more families. I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats, and I have two cats of my own. I’m patient, attentive, and I treat every pet like they’re my own—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable and easy to communicate with, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m home most of the day, so I have a flexible schedule and can give your pet plenty of attention and care. I do have two kids, so with a little advance notice I’m happy to plan ahead and make sure I’m fully available for your pet’s needs. I’m an active person and enjoy going on walks, so dogs will get plenty of movement and time outside. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and sitting during the week and weekends, and I can adjust to your pet’s routine to keep things consistent and stress-free. I have a fenced backyard, and pets are always supervised when they’re outside. Most of the day they’ll be with me, so they’re not left alone for long. I handle all feeding, walks, and care myself to keep things consistent and done right. I have two cats that are indoor and outdoor. They’re friendly and used to being around other animals, but they mostly keep to themselves and won’t bother your pet. My home is calm, clean, and safe. My kids are gentle and love animals, and I always make sure interactions are respectful and supervised. I treat every pet like my own and do my best to make them feel comfortable and at home while you’re away.

Jersey loved staying with Robin!! She took amazing care of him while we had a few days away! Let him sleep with her, took him for walks and spent some time gardening in her backyard! Robin has an inviting, warm, clean, beautiful home that any pup would love to visit! Great street views on a comfy ottoman are the added bonus for Jersey! She doesn’t take multiple clients at a time which was comforting for us—although Jersey loves playing with other pups, we don’t know that other pups love playing with him. Thank you for the assurance our baby would be safe and well taken care of while in your care!

She sent lots of pictures and was very accommodating with sh l schedule for pick up and drop off, as well as a meetup to make sure the dogs got along with her dogs. Plenty of space for the dogs to run around and play outside including a nice shaded area with a koi pond. Thank you for taking care of our dogs while we were away for the weekend.

Jennifer was AMAZING! We have a high maintenance bulldog and the morning we was supposed to drop him off he ended up at the emergency vet for an injury. Jennifer let us modify our drop off time to make sure we still felt comfortable going on our overnight trip. She also sent us pictures and videos the entire time our baby was there. She gave him meds, dealt with him not sleeping, and his whining. We would recommend her to anyone and will definitely be booking again the next time we need a sitter.

Lisa is wonderful! Bosco can be a little finicky and ‘moody’— and certainly doesn’t like kennels. So we tried Rover and were blessed enough to find Lisa! Thank you again— and will likely check in with Lisa to make sure she’s available before even planning our next trip!

I liked that Jade invited us over the day before we dropped off Bella. She asked if I felt comfortable leaving Bella with her. I did. When I picked Bella up, she was not stressed at all. I believe all went well! Jade gave Bella a Bath. I paid Jade for that and gave her a tip. I will have Jade dog sit again if I need her.

Ray and his son were great with our dog! She made herself right at home and they were very welcoming, offering her treats and a bone right away, which made her very happy and not at all sad to see us leave. I appreciated the texts and pictures Ray sent us throughout the stay. Ray was quick and easy to communicate with. I would use Ray again for watching our Arya!
