Carole and Ron are excellent cat-sitters! They took very good care of my cat Lola and of my house. I came home to a happy cat and a very clean and tidy house. They sent me pictures of Lola and kept me updated, so that I had a very relaxed holiday. I very highly recommend them as cat- sitters and I would be thrilled if they would come back to sit for Lola again. Thank you so much!
We are thoroughly pleased with and impressed by Daniel's kind, generous, and careful care of our cat and our house. He is a committed and experienced sitter who completely understands his role and responsibilities and also how to gently win the confidence and affection of a pet. He is an excellent communicator, and he kept us regularly up to date on our cat's well being--sending us texts and photos at least once/week as we requested. Our cat who is a little afraid of new people, grew fond of him, and we have returned to a very calm, contented cat. We highly recommend Daniel, and we ourselves would be thrilled to engage him again when the need arises.
Kira was the best sitter we have ever had! I chose Kira because of her reviews, ability to sit during the dates I needed and willingness to communicate with my daughter/neighbor who co-parents Colby with us. I am always a bit anxious about having someone in my home and trusting them with our fluffy son. Kira put us at ease almost immediately. I received photos and videos everyday throughout the stay. I got updates on Colbyās activity and the fun they were having together. My heart felt full knowing that Colby was being well loved and cared for. Additionally, Kira was so kind to keep us posted on any deliveries that arrived at the house. āØFinally, when I arrived home, the house was tidy and clean! Again, I am so grateful that Kira was there keeping the house and my cat safe! I hope she will come back and sit again. I know Colby would love to see her again.
Sabre is a sweet, honest person who stepped up at the very last moment (after the prior sitter flaked out) to watch our dog and cat for 17 days. When there were a couple minor accidents, she informed us of them right away. One involved a burnt pan (easy to do if youāre not familiar with an induction stovetop) which she offered to replace. Sabre also washed the towels and sheets, and made up the bed before we got home. The yard was pooper scooped and litter box was clean. Pets seemed well-cared for. When she had to leave town for several hours one day, she made sure to arrange for our neighbor take care of the pets. Additionally, I appreciated how she didnāt assume that it would be ok to bring her cat. When we found out she was going to keep her cat in a kennel during her stay here, we told her she could bring him which worked out fine. Overall, I would confidently recommend Sabre to watch your pets and house.
Best house and pet sitters we've ever had! They definitely gave our cat and dog plenty of love and attention.
Elyse was one of the best pet sitters we've ever met! Couldn't recommend her more. We hope she stays at our place again. She sent many pictures of our beloved cats throughout our absence. We returned to our cats seeming relaxed and happy as ever. She also left our apartment sparkling clean. 10/10 :)
If Macie and Roman ever apply to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the. offer. You will not be disappointed. They are among the top (if not the top) sitter I've ever had and I've been on this site for years. Primarily, they are very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Macie and Roman kept me abreast of their plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk them through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Macie and Roman really care. When they got to my apartment after a very long morning of traveling, I explained the care instructions and they were very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Macie and Roman followed those exactly. Third, Macie and Roman make you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out of hiding very quickly and was snuggling with them and letting them hold him. It was so nice to see the pictures of them all bonding! Macie and Roman have a calming energy towards animals for sure! Macie and Roman were also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 30 minutes. I really appreciated that. Fourth, Roman and Macie will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Macie and Roman also respects your property. We had a room we asked them not to enter and they respected that. In short, Macie and Roman are amazing. I would have them back in a heartbeat. If you have any questions I would be happy to answer them. Ask Macie and Roman for my number.
Chris was a fantastic cat sitter for our elderly and high maintenance kitty. Chris was the perfect combination of responsible and on top of her medication needs while also being calm and relaxed about her picky eating habits and the need to monitor her food and medication consumption. He was prompt, easy to get a hold of, responsible, and overall, a great sitter. I would definitely recommend him and most certainly hope to have him stay with her again.
Cat and Paul were wonderful sitters - our cats were contented and calm when we returned. And the house was spotless. Plus Paul mowed our entire yard including the back meadow - what a surprise! We very much enjoyed visiting with them as well and getting to know them. Highly recommend :)
Kristi was an exceptional house / pet sitter and we appreciate her being so flexible as were not sure how long our vacation was going to be. She was prompt, courteous, and even drove up the weekend before to meet with us. She took great care of our house and our dog snd cats loved her. I would highly recommended her.
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least 20$ per visit, $18/week per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
Aries is the absolute best , and will treat your little fur baby as if theyāre hersš„° She keeps in contact and sends pics throughout my dogs stay. Sheās gives the best care and I trust her 10000% with my little Lola. Highly recommend, for daycare and boarding! ā¦
Bruceās home away from home! When we lost our longtime pet sitter, we had to scramble to find somewhere else for our little pug mix to go. We tried several pet sitters and services and it was always a big hassle to try and work out scheduling and fluctuating rates. Iām so glad to have found Tiny Paws when I started searching for other alternatives. Aries gives the attention and care on par with any sitter weāve ever had, maybe even more! The flexibility she offers is amazing and her rates are more than fair. Bruce absolutely loves it there and is comfortable with the other dogs as they are all similar in size. We have used Tiny Paws for overnight stays as well as just individual days. Aries is communicative and always sends pictures and updates. So thankful for Tiny Paws and highly recommend it!
If you are looking for the perfect place to drop off your pup look no further. Aries (the owner) is a literal angel. She cares so deeply for all the dogs there. We routinely use Aries for day care and boarding when we are out of town. She is throughly communicative with daily pictures and texts. I never have to worry when Lucy is with her. Lucy has grown so attached to Aries and we would never trust another person with our dog.
Aries the owner is amazing, we would take our dog Riley back anytime. She was so good with him. We liked it that he could play with the small dogs. He made friends and enjoyed the stay there. Thank you for taking care of Riley.
I have never been to Tiny Paws Doggy Daycare. My goodness, I live 3,000 miles away. But I have known the owner, Aries, for over 20 years. I have trusted her every minute of that time. She has always been so good with pups that EVEN I ask her for advice, and I used to train Rottweilers and Entlebuchers. You will trust her. I promise. She is proof that God exists.
Just started taking my 5yr old frenchie here part time for socializing and fun time. She loves it! It is all small dogs which is great. Aries, the owner, is very careful introducing new dogs. I haven't boarded my pup there yet but I will. I'm very impressed with the cleanliness . The rates are very reasonable and Aries clearly loves all the dogs.
Boboo & Bear absolutely love Tiny Paws š¾ . They have met other dogs and always love to go ! We're excited there will be a doggie cafe soon. The owner is incredible- professional, caring and supportive š . Highly recommend š š¶ š ā¦
We were visiting Clearwater and wanted a fun and safe place to bring our three pups to while we went on some adventures. The owner, Aeries was fantastic. It was obvious from my first phone call with her that she puts her heart and soul into the business. She made sure that all of my pups; including my special needs senior were comfortable and well taken care of. She sent us pictures throughout the day and let us know how they were doing. I wholeheartedly recommend Tiny Paws Doggy Daycare, and without a doubt, we will be returning to see her on our next visit.
What an amazing experience with Tiny Paws. We went to Clearwater and unfortunately our dog Moana wasnāt cooperative at the hotel and Tiny Paws took her right in and took the best care of her. Definitely recommend! Thanks again!
If you are looking for a place to board or just for the day Tiny Paws is the place to choose. Aries was very caring, loving and genuinely passionate with all the dogs & with our dog. She sent us pictures and texts regularly to update us on how she was doing because this was our first time boarding her since we got her. She spent 3 nights at Tiny Paws, full time, while we were on vacation. I know she was well taken care of because when I picked her up she was happy & wagging her tail. Highly recommend!
Whenever we travel and are unable to take our dog with us, family members watch him. For our most recent trip, our family was unavailable. My dog is my baby, and I was super nervous to try boarding with someone else. I reached out to Miriam based on her phenomenal reviews. She responded promptly to my inquiry and was very friendly. We did two ātrialā daytime daycare visits before overnight boarding. For the actual boarding, My dog had the best week ever!! More importantly, I survived the week as well! Haha! Miriam is amazing! Anytime I texted her for updates she not only responded but sent pictures. Thank you Miriam! Cooper canāt wait to come visit again.
Cozy Doggie House is such a wonderful, clean, and safe place for dogs! Miriam takes awesome care of my little senior dog every time! Whether thatās for grooming, day care or overnight stays- he is always so happy & relaxed after. Iām very particular with who cares for my dog but Miriam is definitely someone I trust for that! we will definitely always come back here š
Cozy Doggie House is the first place Zensu has ever stayed for doggy daycare while I went to the beach & the Salvidor Dali museum. Miriam is also the first person, other than me, who has ever groomed him. What a great experience for us because of her excellent care! She has such loving respect & understanding of dogs PLUs great customer service with humans. Her back yard garden is a little paradise. Thank you Miriam. š¶š¾š„°š¤
Miriam is a great person, friendly, kind and caring. She took care of my baby boy! I would definitely recommend her to others for her services.
Miriam took great care of our Scarlett. Great communication and safe backyard for the dogs to play!
I've had a great experience utilizing the services provided by Cozy Doggie House. Miriam is very kind and is such a wonderful host for all the doggies in her care. My two dogs enjoy playtime in her beautiful backyard. It is obvious that she really loves what she does. I will definitely continue to take my dogs there and would recommend her to anyone in need of quality doggie care.
I recently moved to the Clearwater area and found Miriam online and after a few day visits we left our dog at her place for the holidays. Penelope loves Miriamās and she does a great job catering to each dogs needs! Penelope came home happy and healthy and thatās the most important thing to me. Highly recommend her services!
Very happy with Miriam ā¦ she loves your dog as much as you do. She did a great job grooming our poodle with attention to detail. Weāll be boarding our dog with her because she has a cage free, stress free environment and has plenty of room for the dogs to run around in her fenced in space. Happy we found this caregiver.
Updated to add: my rat terrier just came back so happy! Weāve been using Cozy Doggie House for 2 years now and they keep delivering an amazing service. They even renovated the area and dogs are secure and well taken care of. 1000% recommended Miriam is the best. She took care of my rat terrier for over two months and she sent me pictures whenever I needed them. I canāt recommend her enough, she really cares about pets, all her family are dog lovers so she was raised with all their love and she transmits that love and confidence to them. She also give them baths and pamper them! Is such a relief for me, I would have never ever left my dog if it was not with her. You wonāt regret it!
I was in a pinch, and Marian helped me out. She seems to have a very good understanding of dog behavior, and I felt comfortable leaving Oscar with her. She also responded promptly whenever I asked for an update. I would definitely recommend Marian and plan to use her services again in the future.
When I moved down to Florida a little over a year ago I was so worried about finding a place that my 3 fur babies could go to socialize with other dogs and make friends. Enter Jenn and Posh by Lucky Puppiesā¦ what sets Jenn apart from all the other places my three have been, as I moved around a lot when I was in the Army, is her love for the dogs. She takes the time to get to know the dogs and makes sure that each dog meshes well with the other dogs that are there. This creates an environment that is above any other doggy daycare. On top of doggy daycare, Jenn offers extended stays which have been a godsend to me. With all the travel I do for work, I have total peace of mind that my boys are well taken care of and loving their time with āAunt Jennā. Jenn treats my boys as her own and seeing how excited they get to see her, melts my heart. For anyone in the Clearwater area looking for an amazing doggy daycare and extended stay, look no further than Posh By Lucky Puppies. You and your dogs will love it!!!
Posh by Lucky Puppies A Home Away from Home for Lola We are absolutely thrilled with Posh by Lucky Puppies and cannot imagine a better place for our beloved Lola. What truly sets this daycare apart is its unique approach to building a tight-knit community of dogs. With a requirement of at least one day a week, Lola gets to spend time with the same group of dogs regularly. This consistency has created a wonderful bond and trust within the pack, something weāve never experienced with any other daycare. Lolaās excitement when we pull up to the daycare says it all. She has so much fun every single time, and we love seeing how her friendships with the other dogs have blossomed. Itās not just a daycare; itās a place where she can truly enjoy herself and feel safe. Jennifer and her team are simply amazing. They are incredibly sweet and kind, treating each dog with the utmost care and attention. Jenniferās passion for her business is evident in everything she does, and itās clear that this love and dedication transcend to the dogs under her care. Posh by Lucky Puppies isnāt just a daycare for usāitās the best possible place we could ever leave Lola, whether for a day of play or an overnight stay. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a loving, safe, and joyful environment for their furry friends.
As I began my search all over Pinellas County for a doggie daycare business, NOTHING compared to Posh by Lucky Puppies! The care, attention, and love that Jen and her staff provide the dogs is unmatchable! You can truly tell they have a genuine passion for providing next-level care. Jen will treat your dogs as if they are her own! My pup was shy when he started, and now plays and interacts with all of the new friends he has made! Thank you Posh by Lucky Puppies for being the safest, kindest, and cleanest home away from home for my pup. No isolated pens or kennels... just love and attention. He is always happy, and I have the greatest piece of mind knowing he is at the best place in town!
Dear Jennifer, I'm sitting here realizing that less than two weeks post knee replacement surgery, I'm in no shape to travel. I am so sorry to miss the grand opening of Posh by the Lucky Puppies. but I know you are in for a lifetime of success. What a beautiful facility that will always be in pristine condition. Thatās just the way you operate! Please allow me to brag on you just a bit! Seems like just a short time ago you were starting to become acquainted with pet sitting, and as I recall, Hank was the first baby you took on full time. (Hank is now almost 11!) Of course Jesse and Wyatt got the advantage, too, because they, were Hankieās big brothers. They too, got your snuggles, attention, and play time, daily as I went back to work teaching school after getting Hank as four month old rescue pup over Christmas vacation. That job was supposed to last until summer. Haha. It went on to include the next full school year, and lots of week long vacations for all our familyās dogs, as well as our own. We just couldn't end a good thing until you moved to Florida! And look at you now! I'm pretty sure that my three amigos gave you, in one experience , the wide range of opportunities you needed for your dog career, each having his own personality and idiosyncrasies. Wyatt, the stubborn little wiggle butt, Jesse the escape artist from the small space in the corner where the fences didn't meet in the backyard, and Hank your over the top, loud mouth, energy packed, food obsessed, smiley faced, all boy pup. As an ABC certified dog trainer, I was also able to share with you so many tricks of the trade and give you access to some of my trainer acquaintances, to not only make dealing with my dogs a little easier, but also provide you information that I feel sure youāve have been able to pass on to your clients. Yes, we provided your crash course in dog handling. You learned so much so fast! Baptism by fire! And wow, how you grew! ! We all came to love you, Jennifer, and then your sweet Bella, so very much. I loved having her stay with us while you got settled in Florida. Of course we hoped you wouldnāt like it, and come back to us! But, Florida is lucky to have you, and lucky to have Posh by the Lucky Puppies. You will always be part of our family and we wish you the very best in your new adventure. You come HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Lots of love, Sharon and George
Posh by Lucky Puppies is the BEST! It truly is a doggy paradise and the owner Jenniferās love of animals truly shows. She doesnāt crate the dogs and shows them so much hands-on love. Her new location in Clearwater is so beautiful and has so much room for lots of play and rest! Thereās even a ball pit which the dogs love so much. It has been so awesome watching the business grow. If youāre in the Clearwater area and youāre looking for a go-to doggy daycare with extended stay options that you treats your dog(s) like their own, give Posh by Lucky Puppies a try and youāll be welcomed like family. š
We recently had Lola come into our lives a beautiful mini cockapoo. We love going to Dunedin and drove by Posh Doggie Day Care and saw the beautiful pink building. We checked on availability the next day and the minute we talked with Jennifer the owner we knew we were so lucky to find such a great place for Lola. She can't wait to get there & play with her friends. She jumps out of the car and blends right in with her pack. What a dream come true.
My husband and I have been taking our mini goldendoodle Louie to Posh by Lucky Puppies for almost two years and could not be happier. Jen and her team are incredibly friendly and welcoming. Our Louie settled in immediately. When we pick him up at the end of the day, he is exhausted and cannot wait until his next visit. We can tell he is comfortable there, feels safe and has made great friends. The staff organizes a variety of activities, playtime and even birthday parties to ensure the dogs have a fun-filled day. Louie had the most fabulous birthday party!! He shared cake with his friends and had a special treat bag for all his friends to take home as part of his birthday celebration. Checkout their Instagram account @posh_dunedin_doggiedaycare to see for yourself. They recently moved into a new facility that is set up with the safety of the dogs in mind. It has a very spacious indoor and outdoor area and is truly a special place for all our furry friends. Additionally, Jen and her amazing staff do a fantastic job keeping us informed when there are updates or announcements to share. If you are looking for a doggie daycare that genuinely cares about your pet's well-being, Posh by Lucky Puppies is the perfect choice. We highly recommend it.
I contacted Jen at Posh by the Lucky Puppies when we got our new puppy, Sadie, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, in the fall. Jen asked me to come for a meet and greet, and I could tell that she's very selective about the dogs she takes into her daycare. Sadie LOVES going there. She started out at 2 days a week and is now going 3 days. We had no idea when she was 12 weeks old that just a few weeks later she would start to show signs of some neurological issues common to the breed. She's become our special needs puppy, and we are so very happy that she's at Posh and gets the special attention she needs and would never get at a "big box" daycare. We know Jen treats her and watches over her as if she's her own puppy, and Sadie adores her! I highly recommend Posh!
The cutest and most fun doggy daycare in the area. Jennifer is full of energy and love and she gives it all to these lucky puppies. She answered any and all of my concerns that I had. During my several visits, I witnessed employees cleaning up and being very interactive with the dogs and that spoke volumes. Highly recommend š ā¦
if you are looking for Doggie Daycare in the Dunedin/Clearwater area,Posh by Lucky Puppies Doggie Daycare is the best! š¾ I discovered this daycare driving by on my way to work and when I looked up the hours and they were 6am-6pm I decided to give them a try.

From snack time to play time (My girl likes to play a lot) and maybe even a nap (I hear my girl doesn't nap much) š„° Our dog has been loving it there and has made great friends. Join them for a luxury retreat that transforms your dogās day into an unforgettable adventure! š¶āØ #PoshPuppies#DogsofInstagram #DoggieDaycare #LuxuryPetCare
We took our golden retriever, Riley, there for the first time this week. When we spoke with the staff on the phone, we were told that we could tour the inside since it was our first visit to their shop. When we arrived, we were not even allowed inside the building not even the waiting area. We were not asked to show proof of vaccinations which seemed odd. The groomer did a good job on her tail and "butt feathers" but her ears we not done to what we asked and very uneven. During our initial phone call we were also told that the price would be $70 for the groom but at the end of the visit it was $90 which is reasonable but wish they were more honest over the phone. Later that evening, Riley seemed off. Very afraid and not in a pleasant mood at all. We do understand that taking your pet to a groom shop can be stressful but this was not her first time getting groomed. She even seemed a bit lethargic not wanting to be touch. I called my mom who owns her own grooming shop on the east coast and she thought all of this was a bit off. I think we will stick to mobile grooming so we can be with Riley the next time.
Never again. My first red flag should have been when the door was locked and I wasnāt allowed to go in. I had to go through their drive way to drop my Yorkie guy off. Then the person who took him took off his collar to carry him in. WAY too much room for error. I was asked what kind of groom I wanted. I said I wanted a ānice little boyā groom for himā¦about half as long as he was. I pointed out some dirt like stuff on the top of his head. I was told it looked like āflea dirtā and if he had fleas he would be given a flea bath. Iāve never seen a flea on him, my other dog or in my house. When I picked him up I could tell that his face didnāt look even. I paid and drove off (have to go through the drive way again). I didnāt get very far away and started to rub his head and felt the āflea dirtā was still there!!! I called to see if he had even had a bath and I was told yes. I asked if he had fleas and I was told no. By now I can see that this was a SUPER bad groom. Uneven and choppy. I told the person on the phone I was very disappointed and I wouldnāt be back. My friend who referred me called them to voice her disappointment which prompted a call to me. I mentioned the āflea dirtā. Now I was told he DID have fleas and was given a flea bath but I wasnāt charged for it. I donāt believe that for a second because I got a call to ask if his teeth could be scaled. I was asked to bring him back on a week day so it could be fixed. I work and that is why I scheduled a weekend appointment. I was given excuses as to why the groom was so choppy. One being that my dogās hair was uneven to begin with and thatās why it was hard to get it even. Iām not a groomer but I know thatās not how that works. AVOID AND BEWARE.
I love this āresortā. The staff absolutely love the animals and they take such great care of them. My Penny is a rescue, cute as can be but very scared and is extremely attached to me. I like to travel often and this is the place I always check penny into. š they communicate well, pick up/drop off is a breeze, they work miracles because they are always able to trim her nails, something I canāt even do! ā¤ļø The place I feel she is safe, cared for, and really loved by the staff.
I love VIP!! They are thoughtful and caring! I drive all the way from Tampa to get my dogs groomed there, both Standard Poodles, even taking extra loving care of my older black standard who was recently diagnosed with cancer. I will not take my dogs elsewhere! They are always happy when I drop off and pick them up! They do a fantastic job and you can tell they honestly loves each fur soul that walks through the door and we feel like a part of the family!
They always take great care of our five dogs, and are very accommodating schedule wise..
I like taking my dog there for his grooming bc itās close to home, quick and affordable BUT if my dog comes out of there again with an open gash on his paw one more time I will turn into a Karen. Thereās no reason why he should be bleeding when he was just there for his nails only. IF YOU DONāT LIKE YOUR JOB THEN QUIT BUT DONāT TAKE IT OUT ON MY BABY. ITāS HAPPENED TWICE. I didnāt say anything but better believe I will next time.
Picked up my dog in the worse condition. They stated he ran into a fence so hard. Clearly tried to cover up that he was attacked by a dog. The wounds and scratches are dog puncture wounds. They never called me. Stated the VET was closed for after hours. Didn't call emergency VET service for him. I went to pick him up and saw the deep wounds and requested they get him Veterinary care. Honestly would have come further a long than covering it up. I'm so distraught and currently at my Personal VET to confirm my story. He is writing me a letter and confirming it's not a blunt trauma from a fence.
This place is great. Our first time and we will go back. Usually Abby and Scooter come home from the groomer stressed out. Not this time. They looked so wonderful and both got different cuts than they normally do. Price was perfect and drop off / pick-up were a breeze.
My dog is very uncomfortable away from home but seemed to really be happy with her visit to the spa as they were extremely nice to her since Aylla is are baby we are very thankful to the entire staff.
We will never use this place again. One of our dogs came back with Kennel cough, despite being vaccinated. Our other dog came back with trauma to his eye resulting in swelling and a large amount of blood vessels to burst, It got worse than the pics attached & took over a week to clear. The staff was rude. I contacted the owner immediately and have still not received a response. Terrible experience!
My fiancĆ© and I recently took a trip to Clearwater, FL, and stayed at a beautiful hotel right on the beach with our two beloved fur babies. Our first day out, we decided to leave our dogs in the hotel room. Well, long story short, about an hour later, we received a call from the hotel saying we needed to return due to a noise complaint about our dog barking in the room. After that, we felt our little getaway was ruined, as it was far too hot to take our fur babies anywhere during the day. We were even contemplating going back home. As the owner of Diamond City Digital Marketing, I know how to dig into high-rated businesses. I started looking up dog sitters near me and came across two different options, one being VIP Pets of the Belles. We called and spoke to a lovely woman named Petra, discussing our concerns, certifications, and everything in between. We felt pretty confident, so we gave them a chance and went to take a look at the area where our fur babies would stay. We saw how our dogs interacted with Petra, and vice versa. Mind you, our fur babies have NEVER been to a pet sitterāthey are always with us! We felt so great about everything that we decided to take a chance and leave them with Petra for just a couple of hours. From there, we have built such a great relationship! Petra truly is an amazing woman. The way she cares for your babies is so comforting. Anytime we go to Clearwater, we will be going with Petra, and if she's booked, we will at least stop by to say hi! I cannot give Petra enough praise. If you're looking for a sitter and are wondering if the pet sitting route is the right one, it absolutely is! As long as you have your baby in Petra's hands! Again, thank you, Petra. We appreciate you so much and can't wait to see you again!
Petra has taken loving care of our two dogs. They are happy to see her which is important to us that they feel comfortable with her. She sends updates with photos and treats them as her own. We strongly recommend her services!
Petra took such excellent care of our cat. This was our first trip after adopting so Petra definitely made being away so much easier. Very good communication. She sent us pictures of our kitty after every visit. We already booked her services for our next trip, we highly recommend her. Petra is also a talented pet photographer š ā¦
Weāve known Petra for a few years. She is an animal lover and awesome gardener. She has taken care of our two dogs a number of times and sheās totally reliable; itās just like the dogs are at home. Certainly check out Petra if you want complete piece of mind, and comfort knowing your animals are well taken care of.
While in the area for an extended visit, we needed to travel home for a few days. Not knowing anyone in the area, we had to make a tough decision. We researched multiple commercial boarding facilities, plus a few people on Rover. Then, I found Petra and VIP Pets of the Belles. It didnāt take long during the vetting process to decide we wanted Petra to take care of our boy. She may be a little more expensive but sheās worth it. We were able to leave our boy with her exclusively and have complete peace and comfort knowing he would be well taken care of. She also stayed in contact with photos and updates making it the best experience possible. We highly recommend her and will definitely use her again, if the need arises! Thank you, Petra š¾š, for taking such good care of our baby! We could tell he was very happy and enjoyed his stay!
When traveling for work or leisure, many of us seek safe, comfortable, and pleasant housing for our beloved pets. The opportunity for our pets to remain in the comfort of their home is exceptional. As such, we were delighted when we learned about VIP Pets of the Belles. Petra and her staff have provided exceptional care for our lovely, albeit somewhat aloof, cat. Petra sends us a text letting us know when she arrives, what food and other care services have been provided, and shares delightful pics of our little family member. As others have mentioned, Petra takes awesome pet pictures! We have found VIP Pets of the Belles to be very reliable and trustworthy. Moreover, it is reassuring to have another set of eyes on our home while weāre away. Petra and her staff have a high level of professionalism and are quite friendly. Without reservation, we highly recommend VIP Pets of the Belles for high quality pet sitting/care services.
I called Petra about caring for our brand new kitten while we went out of town. She responded to me right away. She set up a free consolation for the next day. I was so pleased when I met her. She was very very friendly, easy to talk to and mature. She took notes on everything and was very sweet to our kitten. When the time came for us to go out of town we felt assured he was in good care. Petra came every day we were gone. She took photos of our kitten and sent text messages as well. We had great peice of mind knowing he was so well cared for. She brought him a new toy and we can by the photos he was having a blast. We will be using VIP Pet Service again and again in the future and highly recommend them to anyone seeking pet care.
Petra took great care of my cat and pup - and all during Christmas break! So convenient! Sheās great with communication; and I received photos of my pets at each visit. What a great service. I highly recommend her.
My sweet highly-sensitive rescue kitty Phoebe had never been left overnight since I rescued her ten years ago when I found out that I needed to be out of town for ten days. To say I was over-protective of my little fur-ball is an understatement. I reluctantly researched local pet-sitters, and made an appointment with Petra Taylor, owner of VIP Pets of the Belles, to come to my home to discuss her caring for Phoebe in my absence. I was immediately struck by her warmth and caring, as well as her total professionalism. She took detailed notes and we agreed she would come in twice a day to spend a half-hour each visit with Phoebe, feeding and "loving her up." Petra came in morning and evening, exactly as scheduled, checked in by text, and upon leaving would send me little notes and a few photos that Phoebe was doing just fine. On one occasion, she even sent me a short video of her purring contentedly, assuring me she was eating well and just fine. Every two or so days, I would call her by phone and she further assured me that all was well. I am SO GRATEFUL that I have found a wonderful loving care-giver for my kitty. I recommend VIP Pets of the Belles without qualification. Thank you, Petra, and I'll be calling you in January!!!
Petra has been walking our English Springer Spaniel all winter. āGronkā loves her and knows when sheās coming. Heās a rescue and quite a handful. Thanks Petra, youāre the best!
Rhonda is the best! She took such great care of my pups and treated them as if they were her own. Taking on two puppies is no easy feat and she did it with ease. Rhonda made me feel so comfortable throughout the whole stay and sent regular pictures and updates so I always knew what was going on. She is experienced, knowledgeable, and is an awesome person that I am so happy to have found. I will definitely be using her services again in the future!
Iām so grateful to my friend who referred me to Olga! She is truly the best pet sitter ever! Right from the start, she was super accommodating, even on such short notice. Olga went above and beyond by sending me adorable photos and video updates throughout the day. Sheās incredibly sweet and caring, and my dog absolutely adores her! From the very first meeting, Myla felt so comfortable with Olga, and she loves spending time at her doggie daycare. Olga not only saved the day by stepping in last minute, but she also brightens my day every time my pup gets to visit her. I wouldnāt change her for the world! If youāre searching for a fantastic pet sitter, look no furtherāOlga is your girl! š¶š
Olga took great care of our dog and cat while we were gone. I could tell from the daily pictures she sent that they both were very comfortable with her. Very trustworthy, good communicator, and has a personality that animals love.
Olga is awesome and is extremely professional! She sends regular picture updates during her stay at our house, and she was able to take care of our four dogs, including two small puppies, with no problem. She also easily and diligently followed instructions on their high-maintenance diets and routines. She even accommodated us last minute when our trip got extended by changing her schedule around our needs. I highly recommend Olga and will be using her for future pet sitting!!
Olga was wonderful! Very responsive and took great care of our high energy puppy! She sent daily updates with pictures and videos. Our pup had a great time playing and being cared for by Olga!
Olga was great with our dogs! Very reliable and sent lots of pictures while we were away! Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to help care for their dogs.
I have used Olgaās pet sitting services twice now to watch my cat and dog and she has been phenomenal! She never misses a visit, has been flexible when we needed her help even longer than discussed and always sends updates with pictures. Weāre very grateful to have found Olga and know I can trust her to give my fur babies love and care when we need her again. 10/10 recommend.
Olga is great with my dogs and very reliable. I love knowing that my dogs are being watched by her when I go out of the area. Great person and great pet sitter.
I recently had Olga from Happy Puppies dog sit at our home for 11 days while we were in Europe, and I must say she did an outstanding job. During her stay, we experienced a hurricane, and Olga went above and beyond the standard duties of a dog sitter. She helped us feel safe by doing storm preparations, communicated with us,including putting down some sandbags, and coordinated effectively with me as we had people coming in and out prior to and after the storm to do work or grab things from our home. In addition to her storm-related efforts, she took excellent care of our pets. Olga sent us updates and pictures numerous times throughout the day and was very responsive to our messages. Overall, her proactive approach and dedication made a significant positive impact during a challenging time, and allowed us to not worry during our vacation. Would highly recommend, and an incredible value for money service!
Olga is my favorite dog sitter/walker by far. She magically available whenever I've needed her last minute, although I do try to give her advance notice! She's always on time and does exactly what she says. She even sends me pictures of my pup on the walks. I can tell my dog loves to see her when she comes to our house. Would recommend her to anyone, and would trust her with my dog anytime!
We are so thrilled to have found Olga! She stayed in our home to take care of our two older dogs in their familiar surroundings. We recieved multiple updates every day and she took great care of our house while we were away. She took wonderful care of the pups with lots of walks and love. I will definetly look for Olga next time we are going away.
I use Beach Buddies for sporadic walks when we are gone for too long for our puppy to be in her crate. Misty usually walks her. I get updates about the walk and usually a picture. Scheduling is very easy and there has been availability each day. They definitely love dogs and I would definitely recommend.
Beach Buddies has been caring for our pets for 10 plus years. Celeste and her team are professional and trustworthy. We are very grateful for the care they provide.
Very happy we found Beach Buddies soon after moving to the beach full time. They take such great care of our doggies and the communication is very comforting.
We absolutely love Beach Buddies! Celeste and her team are great with our older cat, giving her lots of love and attention while we are gone. They send us pics and updates of our girl during our trips. We feel very secure with Beach Buddies coming to visit. We couldn't be happier with their care of our Divot and would highly recommend.
Beach Buddies has been our go to for our yellow lab for four years. Never have they disappointed and I trust them daily. I recommend you give them a try. You will not be disappointed!
Celeste, Laura May & Holly are great with our dogs, they are our 1st choice always. We love the convenience of in home care, and the dogs appreciate being able to stay in familiar surroundings. Its never a concern leaving them in their trusted hands. These Ladies are thoughtful, accommodating, prompt, and genuinely love animals. Highly recommend!
We've used Beach Buddies Pet Sitting services several times. We have 2 beautiful Abyssinian cats that I am very protective over, the girls are so wonderful with my fur babies, they are always on time, text updates and photos of how things are going, I couldn't be more pleased !
Celeste and her team always go a step beyond. They pay loving attention to our clients pets and have a keen eye for seeing when something is out of place in their homes letting us know so we can act quickly. Beach Buddies Pet Sitting is our go-to pet sitting service for our discerning clients and their fuzzy, four legged children.
Iāve been using Beach Buddies for about 16 years now since 2006 for my pets (dog and cat). Theyāre very dependable, professional, responsive. I like that they text me to let me know how the pets are doing or if thereās any questions or issues.
We are extremely happy with Beach Buddiesā£ļø Our lil Dory had a compete connection with Celeste and Laura the moment she met them. If your looking for a dog walker to help out, I highly suggest giving Beach Buddies a callā£ļøThe Best of the Bestā£ļøšš»šš« ā¦
We have been with Ken for several years. He has always taken great care our Danes. He's really good with big dogs and treats them like their his. If you need a fantastic dog sitter Ken is the one.
Weāve used Pets Best Friend over the lifespan of two dogs, plenty of nights, weekends, and other events when weāve had to be away. All-in-all, we have had nothing but OUTSTANDING service, attention and love from Ken and his team for our furry loved ones. Ken is very prompt on time commitments, response to our needs (even on short notice) and has been 100% reliable over the years. Weāve recommended him to others and they have been equally pleased. I would highly recommend them to āyouā as well! Your pets (loved ones) will be in good hands!
Pets Best Friend has been taking care of my dogs for many, many years. Ken provides excellent, caring service. My dogs always have been very excited to see him. He has helped with leash walking training with my current dog. He also leaves a note, at my request, letting me know what "business" my dog does on his walk and gives him a treat out of my dog's treat jar after his walk. I highly recommend Pets Best Friend to anyone needing a pet sitter. Ken is the best there is!
Ken is very reliable and professional. We have traveled three times at various lengths including 10 days. He gives us the peace of mind our pet is in good hands. He stays in contact on a regular basis ensuring everything is ok. Five stars for such an important business. We couldnāt travel and feel confident without Kenās services.
Ken is great! He is almost always available when I need him, sometimes even with short notice. For me, itās great that he has availability in the evenings and on the weekends. Ken is willing to work with the unique needs of your pet, even when those needs change as your pet ages. Ken is dependable and I know I donāt have to worry about my pets when they are in Kenās care.
Ken does a fine job taking care of my cat and my house. My cat got sick once and Ken sent him to my vet. May have saved his life while I was away and could not be contacted. I trust Ken with my house and my cat.
My dogs and cats love Ken! I feel safe with the care of my animals. I never have any doubt that things are going to be taken care of. He goes above and beyond - if thereās a āaccidentā he cleans it up and even runs the laundry. I trust Ken completely with the care of my animals when I need help or am out of town
Ken has sat for our two Chihuahuas on multiple occasions for multiple days. Our dogs were well cared for. Ken is very trustworthy and has good communication. We will certainly use his service again.
Pets Best Friend has been taking care of my 2 cats 3 or 4 times a year since they were kittens 7 years ago. They are completely reliable and professional. I especially appreciate that they text me the day before the start date to let me know they'll be there the next day and again on their last day to let me know they're done. They have texted me pictures of the cats playing on several occasions while I'm gone to let me see how contented and happy my cats are. I have a tremendous amount of trust and satisfaction with Pets Best Friend. They have gone out of their way on a couple occasions when emergencies arose. I highly recommend them.
Ken has been taking care of my 2 dogs and cat over the last 8+ years. 1 of my dogs had serious health issues and Ken administered his medication during his visits. He isnāt just in and out, he plays with the dogs and even brought a laser light with him to entertain the cat. Ken is trustworthy and reliable.
Tyler pup and his family absolutely love Fast & Furriest Dog Walkers. Tyler got lots of love and attention while his hoomans were out of town for a few days. We received updates and photos each visit. He really loves his new bestie and looking forward to more visits in the future. Highly recommend Brittany!!!
We began having Brittany pet sit for our 1 year old golden retriever named Moose about 3 months ago and could not be happier! She is extremely reliable and always sends us pictures from her visit. We feel so lucky to have found her to care for Moose when we are at work and highly recommend Fast and Furriest.
Brittany is absolutely amazing and I have two pups that come with a history so they are a challenge. She put my mind at ease knowing they were well cared for while we were away. She is great at communicating and did not miss a beat! She is our first choice when it comes to the furry family members of our family.
I was looking to find someone I could trust with my fur babies and I came across Brittany, who has been an absolute blessing! Brittany is very professional, communicates thoroughly and is so loving to my fur babies! If you are looking for someone who you can trust to take exceptional care of your animals, then you have found the right person!
Before Brittany, I never had a pet sitter simply because it takes a lot to trust someone with my fur babies. I took a chance and Brittany is wonderful. She goes the extra mile with my German shepherd and my 2 cats. When Iām gone, I know they are given so much love and I never have to worry. Thank you Fast & Furriest Paw Walkers! ā¤ļø
Brittany is a TRUE professional and truly cares about our furry family members. She treats them as if they were her own. Our pup was immediately comfortable around Brittany when they met!
We highly recommend Brittany ā she took care of our three cherished and spoiled ākidsā while we were on vacation for the week before Christmas. Brittany was responsive and highly professional. She met with us beforehand to discuss pet care at length. She also proactively asked us about any ārules of the houseā (e.g. take shoes off, don't go in the kitchen, or those kinds of things). She sent pictures and texted us while we were gone to make sure we knew that everything was OK. We felt very confident that our pets were being well taken care of and that our home was secure. This allowed us to enjoy the vacation without constantly worrying about our beloved āanimal family membersā. She will definitely be our first choice for pet care next time we go on vacation.
Brittany walked my pup daily while we were out of town - my dog is very shy but warmed up quickly - which speaks volumes! Will definitely use her services again!
This is more than just a business, they care about your dog and are 100% the people that Iād trust with my family member. They are considerate, helpful, flexable, and honestly with everything Iāve been through, the only people Iād trust with my dogs. They ARE dog ppl and instantly love your dog like their own. I couldnāt have asked for better pet sitters.ā„ļø
Thank you so much for the 5 star review Alexis! Let us know how we can help again in the future :)
Lori is the BEST! Our dogs absolutely love her and I feel at peace knowing that while they are with her they are having a blast, and not missing us too much. She is very accommodating and communicates with excellence. I would recommend her to anyone!
My dog and I both absolutely love Lori! She really does care for the animals that she watches. I have been using Lori as my dog sitter for 7 years now! She is very accommodating and professional. From feeding, dog walks, daycare, short term and extended stays, she does it all! This is the only person I feel comfortable leaving my dog with when I travel far.
Lori is awesome! She takes such great care of our 2 dogs. We have them on a special Rae food diet which she handles with no problem and sends up updates with pictures to our phones to show they are doing well. What we love the most is she cares for them in her home. We have never been fans of kennels and day care centers so this fact alone is a big deal. Our dogs always come home happy and tired! Highly recommend Elite Pet Watchers and Lori's personal care.
We were desperate and found out about Lori 2 days before our 7-day cruise! She had no problem accommodating our 2 dogs right away and immediately gave us peace of mind! She provided us with constant updates and photos and I didnāt worry about them even once! We picked up two very happy, clean dogs and know we have found our forever dog sitter! Extremely reasonable, trustworthy, and an absolute lifesaver that I would recommend to everyone!! Thank you Lori- we really appreciate you!
We have used Lori for nearly 2 years to assist with our two mastiffs. We have hired her for both āboardingā and home visits when we work long days. Not only does she make it easy, but we are able to travel knowing that our dogs are taken care of and are not stuck in a kennel or crate. She regularly sends photos to update us, even for daily walks. I cannot day enough good things. Highly recommend šš»
Lori at Elite Pet Walkers has been a part of my dogās life since April of 2018 and she is absolutely the best! She loves my dog just as much as my dog loves her and that is pretty awesome ! I have total trust in Lori and absolutely recommend her to watch over your fur babies !
Have used Lori's services several times this year since moving to Florida. My pups love her and I always know they are in good hands with Lori & TJ. I recommend them to anyone who wants their dog to be well cared for while they travel!
