“This was our first time leaving George with Kris and we couldn't be more happy. She took exceptional care of our George. He was completely content and happy in Kris's care. She provided daily updates, pictures & video's to assure us that George was living his best while staying with her.”
“Fantastic care taker for my 17 year old dog while visiting friends at the Villages! My yorkie went right into the house and got comfortable - he does not do this at his regular kennel back home!!! Clean environment very very nice family!!!”
“Since I have a very spoiled cat, she provided very special care for Meester! If Lorraine would accept my next trip for boarding I would be very appreciative! Thank you for providing excellent care!”
“Alia was wonderful with our kitten for the 2 days we were away on a quick family getaway and was very responsive when I checked in! She even sent us pictures to ebsure he was comfortable. My family felt that our kitten was in great hands with Alia and I will definitely come back to her again if I need a sitter in the future 😊”
“Alexa had a good time and came home happy, her second time with Janelly. Great to have someone close to home when we have to leave for a few days. She is easy to work with, and we will leave Alexa with her again.”
“Great couple thst I felt comfortable leaving our puppy for the first time!! I was sent tons of pics and updates!! She was loving all over them when we left! I would recommend for sure! They even taught her to spin!!!”
“If you’re in Ocala, Florida and need to find a beautiful home with exceptionally caring people to board your small dog, these are the best people. When Laquitta and James host your pet in their gorgeous home, you know your furry child will be cared for just the way you do yourself. Chucky, my 3-year-old Pekingese, was happy and playing with Laquitta and James’s own young Shih Tsu the whole week. He was fed with food I provided, he was loved and cherished. Another gentle Shih Tsu, Izzy, is a gorgeous senior. Chucky has a “home away from home” with Laquitta, James, Otto and Izzy.”
“This was our first time using Kristin and we were very happy with her care of our 3 dogs and overall services. She watched them over a hurricane weekend (which made us nervous), but she was calm and managed the whole situation very well. We would highly recommend Kristin!”

“Super sweet, lots of communication. I felt super comfortable leaving my baby. I got picture mail throughout, and could tell she and her family genuinely love and care about animals. Will definitely be using again!”
“Manny & Jessica were so wonderful! I felt so comfortable leaving my Frenchie with them. They were very prompt with all their responses and sent me great updates so I could hear about the fun my pup was having. Without a doubt, I would book with them again!”
“Shayla was great to work with in keeping Teddy. This was my first experience in leaving Teddy with someone other than his trainer. The communication was excellent. Teddy loved his visit with Shayla.”
