Toby and Chloe were amazing pet sitters. It wasn’t the easiest sit - a nervous dog and 3 cats with various ailments and medication to have, but they took it all in their stride and cared for them so well without any issues. Our nervous dog Zelda warmed to them in just 2 days which is a record for house sitters so far! I also really enjoyed getting to know them over dinner the night before I left, they’re very easygoing and positive people. They also left the house spotless for when I came back. I would love to have them sit for us again. You can rest assured your house and animals are in safe hands with this lovely pair!
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!
I'm delighted to have found Lisa as a sitter and hope to have her back again! She was detail oriented and clearly cared about my cats' well being. She asked good questions about the cats' routines and needs and about the house to be sure she'd meet my expectations and have a comfortable and successful sit. She communicated very well before and throughout the sit and even though I was unreachable for much of the time I was confident everyone was in good hands. Lisa left the house in immaculate condition and the cats were relaxed and happy when I got home. What a delight!
Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
Brian is a very professional sitter that does a good job, pays attention to details and is easy to work with. I have a lot of plants. A lot. He suggested me do a video for the plant care so he could be sure of which ones needed what. Brilliant! I’d never thought of that. They were in great shape when I returned. I explained that I needed some flexibility with travel dates, he agreed and rolled with the punches like a champ when my dates did indeed change. Unfortunately, he was a bit allergic to my cat but made it work anyway. He was really awesome about everything including a tree that fell next door in a storm and blocked the road for three days. I appreciate that he appreciated how funny and how much personality Boo has. They got along well and I received some great videos. I returned home to a happy cat and a house well taken care of 😊. I would definitely recommend Brian.
Windy & Dustin are some of my top go-tos! They are wonderful sitters who I can trust to take care of my cats and goats and love them like their own! They are so respectful of my house and are always flexible with me when plans change last minute.
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
We couldn't have asked for better sitters than Pares and Mark. Since our initial contact, it was straightforward to communicate with Pares. We were lucky enough to get a chance to meet Pares with our dog Luna, and Luna got along with her immediately. During our time away from home, she kept us informed about how both our dog and cat were doing, and they were both cuddling with her since the first day. We got a lot of pictures and knew that they were safe and happy. The apartment was exactly as we had left it when we came back. Pares and Mark even ran the dishwasher and the washing machine for us. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter, and it made our trip very easy knowing they were taken care of so well. We'd have Pares and Mark back to our home without any hesitation.
My husband and I reached out to Toby & Chloe after reading their profile and impressive reviews only a week before our trip, since our scheduled sitter had to cancel at the last moment. They were very friendly and quick to respond to chat from the very beginning, and ended up exceeding our expectations during their two week stay. It was evident they had thoroughly read our Welcome Guide beforehand, as they arrived knowledgeable and prepared to care for our home and pets. They were very willing and happy to take the necessary time with us to walk through the house and meet our cats, as we got them acclimated with our daily routines and answered any questions. Shortly after we left, our city had a heat wave come through, and after immediately notifying us, Toby went beyond the call of duty and inspected our struggling AC unit to pinpoint the issue. As far as cat care is concerned, we have two seniors (who have more sensitive tummies) that can get irritated after a fur ball or swallowing anything out of the ordinary. When this occurred, Toby & Chloe stepped in and took wonderful care of our cat duo; softening their food and even cradling while hand-feeding them for extra comfort. We truly could not have asked for more affectionate and responsible sitters. We returned to a spotlessly clean home, happy cats, and well maintained plants and pool. (They even cleaned our dusty Kitchen pendant lighting, which requires a steady hand and is definitely a time-commitment …We felt like professional housecleaners had been there!) On our way back, Toby & Chloe stayed in communication with us to monitor our arrival time, allowing them to care for our cats until just before we got home. Overall, they are very reliable and trustworthy sitters whose genuine goal is to provide a top-quality sit, while maintaining your household and seamlessly transitioning to your pets daily schedule.
I whole-heartedly recommend Carly and her partner Fanny to sit for you! They were fabulous and reliable house sitters from start to finish. Carly was timely and thoughtful in all of her communications and let us know the state of affairs in our apartment with our cat and plant babies while we were away. They followed our directions to a 'T.' We came home to find a happy cat, thriving plants, a spotless apartment and laundered linens. We would definitely consider contacting them again to house sit for us!
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, $10/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!
Tara took care of our 17 year old cat and did a fantastic job!! She was fine with giving Mia her meds, which gave us peace of mind. We will definitely call her again. And, we recommend her to anyone who is needing a great pet sitter!!!! Thank you!!!!
Tara is Awesome! We feel so comfortable knowing our dog is having just as good a time with Tara as we are on vacation! Can’t say enough about our experiences. Our dog loves her too!
I have known Tara since she was a little girl and was thrilled to learn she had her own pet sitting business. She has always been compassionate and caring about animals so I believe this is a labor of love! I used Tara for the last 11 days for care of my cat and 2 birds in my home. Tara did an absolutely amazing job! She went above and beyond to take care of my fur/feather babies! She is a beautiful person inside and out, she is very trustworthy and comes highly recommended! It takes the worries out of leaving your pets behind. Thank you Tara from the bottom of my heart, Saturday the cat, Moonpie and Tiki the birds are most grateful!
Tara’s compassion towards animals is what really drew me to her. She truly cares and knows very well how to care of your fur baby because of her upbringing on her farm and even currently. She is very trustworthy, kind, and professional. Tara came to my house to take care of our puppy for two days. I love that she gives you the option to watch your pet at her place or your home. Our puppy loved her and we are so happy to have found Tara. Our family highly recommends Tara to care for your pet too.
Tara is a sweet young lady who immediately makes you feel comfortable from the moment you and your fur babies meet her! She has a love for animals and I know they feel it. I did!! They felt loved, safe and cared for when with her. This of course brought great comfort to me knowing my fur babies were in good hands. My hubby and I decided last minute we needed her an extra day and she was very accommodating. I’m a pet sitter too, so knowing I can call upon her for my own needs is awesome. She is very thoughtful and has been of great help to me. . So whatever your need is, don’t hesitate to call Tara! Your pets will thank you!!
Back in December my family and I went away right after Christmas and were gone for several days. Not only did Tara care for my miniature schnauzer Holly but we also took Biscuit to Tara (my daughter’s dog). Either dog has ever been boarded and we wanted them to have the “comforts of home.” They loved the attention they received and got along very well. We are going on a cruise in a couple of weeks for the weekend and have already reserved a spot for them. I definitely would recommend Tara.
Tara is great with animals! Very caring and professional. I call her every time I travel and she's always done a stellar job. The most reliable pet sitter I've ever had. Couldn't recommend her enough!
Tara loved my dog even tho he is adhd....and super tough to handle. ❤ Never Hesitate to have "Tara's Animal Care" take Loving Care of whatever loved one (pet) you have. Thanks again Tara!
Tara is thoughtful, caring, and very responsible. She took care of our small farm over Christmas and our cameras proved she not only fed the animals but loves on the animals too!! I would recommens her to anyone.
Tara is super sweet and our Jack Russel was well taken care of. Will definitely be calling her again to watch our pet.
I have used this service for several years and HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Angela and Mike genuinely care for my cats and it shows. More than just feeding and changing litter, they give each a bit of personalized attention each visit. As a result, when I get back from a trip, even a long one, my cats don’t pull the guilt card with me. They are fat and content and always happy to see Angela if she comes by just to say “hi”. You won’t find a better pet sitting service!!!
We have used Angela and Mike for four years now. We had a diabetic kitty so it was very important to us that we had somebody that we could rely on that would come twice a day at 12 hour intervals. They have been extremely reliable and are very compassionate to our animals. Our kitties love them and so do we. I highly recommend using their services.
We have been using the pet sitting services of Angela and Mike for about four years. They are the best! They are quick to return a response, extremely reliable, promptly arrive each day that we are away to care for our cats, and send us regular updates while we are away. They treat our pets with compassion and kindness and care for them as if they were their own. We never worry about the care our girls are getting while we are away. In addition to caring for our cats, they also get our mail, retrieve our trash/recycling containers and water plants. Angela and Mike are a great team that always goes above and beyond.
Angela and Mike have been caring for our cats and dogs for around five years now! They have never said no to any of our requests including several last minute plans! They are always reliable and spend quality time with our animals. Our pug cries out of excitement when he sees them too! They were compassionate with our older sick boxer and now they are doing the same with our new young wild puppy! We always receive texts and updates after their visits which puts our minds at ease. I hope Angela and Mike never stop pet sitting as we never worry about our pets and home while in their care. They bring trust, kindness, and lots of love for the animals!
We have been using Angel Care Pet Sitting and Services for over a year and they are the BEST! Our dog is a rescue and we wanted to find someone or a service who would be a good fit for him and make him happy when we are not home. Angela and Mike always take such great care of our dog as if he was their own. They are very reliable, send updates and even photos of him when we are on vacation. They make sure we never have to worry about our dog and home when we are away. We are so grateful to have had them recommended to us by friends of ours!
Angel Care is the best pet sitting team in the business! Angela and Mike have always gone above and beyond for us and our two cats whether we’re gone for 2 days or 2 weeks. Both clearly love our pets almost as much as we do and spoil them with affection. My husband and I feel peace knowing such wonderful people are caring for our cats and home while we are away and always have excellent communication. We have used Angel Care at least 4 times a year for 3 years and have never had an issue. This is not a company but extended family for your pets!
I love Angela and Mike! I am new to the area but they had great reviews so I used them when I went to Boston for six days. They came the week before to meet my cat, who is very friendly and I gave them his routine and I filled out their forms. Angela came everyday and not only took care of his needs (litter scooping and food and water) but also played with him for at least a half hour to 45 min every day! They even put my garbage out for garbage day. They left the house spotless. My cat loved her. They were very reasonably priced too. Less than what it would have cost me to board him. I will definitely use them again.
For five years our cat, Ozzie, has been lucky enough to have Mike and Angela take care of him. He greets them like part of the family. When we have returned from a trip, Ozzie will post himself by the window where he has always seen their car appear at a certain time of day! And…it’s not just for his expected meal. It’s because he interacts with them and gets plenty of playful attention. Our instructions for feeding, medication etc. are diligently followed…always. The house is as clean as we’ve left it and mail or package deliveries are brought inside. Any “cat messes” are taken care of, and the litter box is never left unattended. All texts or emails are quickly answered, assuring us that all is well. If there are any concerns Mike and Angela may have about feeding problems or unusual behaviors, we are immediately notified. Seeing Ozzie totally relaxed when we return tells us that he is exceptionally well cared for…with no signs of stress or anxiety. Mike and Angela are definitely his “second Mom and Dad” when we must be gone. We recommend their care and services with “five stars” plus full confidence!!
Angela & Mike (Angel Care Pet Sitting) have cared for our cats (and dog before she passed away) for over five years. We have always been comfortable leaving our pets and home in their care. They came to meet our pets and gather vet information, etc. before they began pet sitting for us. They have always accommodated our sometimes last minute plans. They are reliable and go the extra mile. They don’t just rush in and feed the kitties and clean the litter boxes, but also spend time with them, brushing if needed and giving meds. They text each day with updates and I’m impressed that they ask us to let them know when we return home so there’s no chance of the kitties being left alone if we didn’t return home when expected. Simply put, they are the best!
Angela & Mike are excellent pet sitters. They're prompt, reliable, kind to my cats and always keep me up to date on their status. They're the only visitors my little feral cat trusts. They also bring in mail, water plants, etc. Highly recommended!
We were staying at a campground in the area, read the reviews and booked an appointment. They got us in quickly, did an excellent job! We are grateful and would highly recommend!
My Stella has never looked more beautiful. She's a snow white toy poodle and looks like a show dog today!! Thank y'all for the best groom ever!!!
Paid just under 60 dollars for a botch job which I can tolerate because mistakes happen and fur will grow back. What I cannot tolerate is groomer tearing or cutting my dogs 6 week old 20 dollar harness and offering zero compensation.
Very pleased with Daisy’s first visit to Riverside. 8:00 appt and was ready to be picked up by 10:30. Everyone was extremely pleasant. Brie groomed Daisy exactly how I asked. We definitely will recommend and consider this to be our grooming establishment of choice.
Riverside always takes great care of our fur baby for both grooming and boarding! We have used their services for several years.
Super friendly staff! Got us in next day appointment, took very good care of Bailey and she came out looking like a diva 🥰 …
I received great service from this place. My baby is skiddish around new people and i just recently moved from Orlando. They did such a great job on her she seemed so happy after her groom
Giving 3 stars because my dogs usually looks good when I picked them up from Riverside Groomers, their haircut normally include “never touching the ears or tail let it grow” I got my dog back from the groomers and his ears were uneven and obviously I was very annoyed good groomers but just not the right fit for my Taste.
Awesome place to bring your dog for grooming! Tom was excellant with Prada. She's a senior dog. She looks so pretty and it only took alittle over 2 hours! Very efficient! Very friendly and has AC for your pup! I've been coming here for a year and I will return.
I have taken my fur babies here for over 3 yrs! And Boarded as well. I love the staff and they do a great job with grooming.
We have a 5 year old dog who has been attending daycare several times a week since he was 6 months old. We tried Dog Kidz for daycare for several weeks due to the good reviews. We did not have a good experience. Several times when we came to pick him up, there was no one in the building with the daycare dogs and no one watching them. The small dog group has toys and chews down all the time even when unsupervised. No other daycare we’ve used has had toys because it causes problems with resource guarding. Our dog is high energy and has always been in the medium group at other daycares because of this. Dog Kidz refused to move our dog to a larger play group when we told them he would guard toys and after he started having issues with guarding toys. We had the manager scold us about the resource guarding behavior with the toys even after we had told them it would be a problem. We train and socialize our dog. We are actively training to reduce resource guarding. Dog Kidz did not try to work with him or use our offered solution of putting him in a group without toys. The final straw was when our dog came home with bite marks all over his face and scruff and they didn’t tell us about any incidents. Probably because no one was watching him when it happened. We took him somewhere else (who doesn’t have toys down like all other dog daycares) and he’s doing great. EDIT because I can't respond to the Owner's response. First off, Arlo is a 34 pound large french bulldog, NOT a boston terrier. He's plenty big to be in a medium-sized group. Second, here is a picture of his face after the bite. This should have been obvious to staff since it was obvious to me when I got him home. Finally, yes, we did tell the woman who gave us the intro tour about him resource guarding toys. If that didn't make it to management, I don't know what to tell you.
A clean and very well-run boarding facility. They offer doggie day-care, overnight accommodations and even grooming services. The dogs have freedom to stay inside or go outside in fenced areas. Our dogs get plenty of play-time and exercise.
I have been taking my dog Harry to Dogkidz for boarding and grooming for the last two years. I cannot say enough great things about this place ! Harry gets such great care there and his grooming is always excellent ! They are very caring and professional and I always feel confident leaving him there knowing he will get the best of care!
This is a great place to take your dog. My dog runs in pulling on the leash and I know she has a good time because she comes home and crashes for a big nap after she is there. Everyone working there is very nice, professional and courteous. The prices are reasonable. Yeah, great doggy day care!
We have been taking our dogs there since 2009. great place where they let the dogs run and play together. they have live video cams where you can watch them while you're out of town.
💕Dog Kidz 💕has been WONDERFUL for us and we’ve been going there for many years (10+ since our oldest was just a puppy). Our 2 Weimaraners get so excited as soon as I turn down the street that they start whining to get out of the car to stay and play. Sandra and her team love on our fur babies like they’re family and I always feel comforted leaving them there, knowing they’ll be in good hands. ❤️
We took out dogs multiple times and everytime they come home like they had a blast, and they also look like they had plenty of exercise
Warm, attentive staff who know your dogs. Both my dogs love going there, and have had no negative experiences. Another place I took my dogs previously had too many dogs. Consequently play injuries would occur. DogKidz has been injury free and very good for my excitable pet.
I am very picky of where and who I leave my girl (dog) with. Long story short, my girl LOVES this facility. She cannot wait to get inside when bringing her. And she usually doesn’t want to leave when we pick her up. I closely monitor staff’s interactions with her and how she responds. She is very happy to see any one of the employees, and they respond with the same happiness. She communicates ZERO red flags. She goes to daycare on average 2 days a week. We’ve boarded her once with daycare included. The only concern I had was hoping she knew we didn’t abandoned her. She feels safe, secure, and is very happy here. This place gets very busy over the holidays. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
Friendly staff. They made last minute accommodations for our dog. Our dog was abandoned and has issues socializing with other dogs and people. They are knowledgeable about handling this types of dogs. We fully trust them to take care of our pet.
Ron is now my go-to cat carer! Not only is he thorough, caring and a great communicator, he is flexible in emergencies. Judging by the photos he sends, my cat loves him and does well under Ron's care. A+++
Ron went above and beyond for my 2 cats. I think they actually looked forward to seeing him. Their needs were well cared for. I highly recommend him for your pet.
Ron watched Luna and Lilly for us. Very responsible. He kept us updated on a daily basis with text messages and pictures. I definitely recommend him to watch your kitties while you're away.
Very professional, loving, great communication. Every aspect of Ron's service was exceptional. Reconfirmed in advance of starting and after service was complete. Highly recommend.
Ron cared for our 2 elderly cats for 8 days and did the best job! They were well taken care of. They are both on medications and Ron gave them their meds easily. He was on time each day and sent pictures with updates each day! We will be calling him again. Such a relief having someone so trustworthy to watch our elderly gals.
Ron watched our two cats for 10 days! It was the first time we had left them for that period of time and it was a bit nerve racking. Ron put our minds at ease with daily text and photos. He truly is a "cat person"! We highly recommend Ron!!
Ron did a fantastic job with my two cats. I left on a four month hike and I received regular updates with photos. When I returned, the cats were well cared for and socialized. It was like I had never left. He obviously spent a lot of quality time with them. His care was over and above, he taught them tricks, brought in the mail, got extra food when the supply got low and tended to their flea meds. I'll use him in the future and wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a cat sitting service.
Ron was super accommodating when my regular cat sitter was on leave and I desperately needed to travel for work last minute as I many times do. It couldn’t have been easier to book, pay, and provide cat sitting needs and cat details with him via Meowtel. We then found a mutually beneficial time to do a quick meet and greet (which covered all the basis for in home care, emergency procedure, etc) He is very knowledgeable of what cats need and how cats personalities can be so my cat was very happy and comfortable with Ron visiting as a last minute new cat sitter. I would keep Ron as a regular sitter if logistics made more sense or if I didn’t already have a sitter that is great right next door. I couldn’t have gotten any luckier that he was available when I needed him and he is a purrrfect cat sitter.
We needed a cat sitter soon after moving to Rockledge. My 2 cats are really shy and one of them is very anxious, so I always worry when I travel. Ron's demeanor was perfect to put them at ease. One of them stayed in her hiding spot during his visits, but he was able to spend time with her and feed her there, and she didn't run off, which is amazing! He texted me with pictures at each visit, which always made me smile and he made an extra visit on the last day when our return flight had to get rebooked. Ron took care of the litter boxes, took the trash out, took the mail in, and we returned to a tidy home and 2 happy and relaxed kitties <3 We will definitely request Ron's services again!
Very good cat sitter. Reliable, kind and reasonable. Came to home on short notice, recommend Ron.
We had the best experience with our sitter, Jessica. She was so kind, genuine and loving to our fur babies. We trust her so much and will be using the services in the future. Thank you!!
We have counted on South Paw for over 6 years for their pet sitting services. Stacy and her crew have always been able to accommodate our needs, including the rare times when we have had to make last minute changes. All of the pet sitters have been very caring individuals and have been meticulous in providing our dogs' medications. They also provide photos of the kids so we don't miss them too much while we're away. We can very highly recommend South Paw.
I highly recommend South Paw Massage and Wellness for their ability to provide loving and reliable pet sitters who will take care of your pets in your home. We could not be happier with Sheila and Margaret and Cassidy. We know we can go away and our two dogs will be safe and happy. Plus Jessica who does the scheduling does everything possible to accommodate last minute requests. We are thrilled that our friend Jean recommended South Paw and we also recommend South Paw to our friends.
Stacie and the entire staff have been the most fantastic blessings for me and my pooch! Due to an injury I have been unable to care for my senior pup with medical issues. He's 16 or 17 y.o. dachshund-poodle rescue that has been the center of my life for 15+ yrs. He's on many meds for health issues and IVDD (spine issues). We had gone there twice for massage before I was injured and they were able to find a way to board him on last minute request. He's been there for over a month now. Not only do they take amazing personalized care of him, but he's gained a new lease on life; being in that environment, the vet said it reversed his dementia. They inform me promptly if he has any flare ups of his medical conditions, they send me pics and videos. The times I have been able to have him back home for an overnight visit he was much more comfortable being pet because of the massages, much more relaxed. He's always excited when he returns there. I can't wait to see him after his first grooming there! I'm thrilled they are comfortable grooming senior dogs and will handle him with care. Honestly, I couldn't trust them more with his well-being during this time when I can't care for him myself! They have it all and Lenny really does love it there! Thank you Southpaw!!
OMGosh this place is an answer to my prayers. I was desperately looking for a reputable dog sitter and they make it so easy. I’ve got a choice of two wonderful women that will dog sit overnight (yes overnight) at my home; they both are incredible. My dogs love them and I can enjoy traveling knowing my dogs are well taken care of. I also take the dogs to South Paw to meet the SmileSpecialists to get their teeth cleaned. If you haven’t tried the 10 minute no anesthesia dog teeth cleaning - you should try it. Highly highly recommend this organization!!
We feel very fortunate to have found South Paw. Shelia our sitter is fantastic! She is so wonderful with our dogs. Our husky is very timid and does not warm up to people easily but Shelia had her eating out of her hand in one day! Your fur babies will be in great hands with South Paw.
I've used South Paw for pet sitting several times. I leave knowing that whether it is Sheila, Helen or Margaret, my 3 dogs will be loved and cared for just as I care for them. The gals text me often and always send pictures. I love knowing someone is sleeping at my house and all is well. What a blessing for me to have this business here in Vero Beach! Many thanks to you all!
Today we took our two 10 lb mini poodles for their first-ever swim session and it was AWESOME! The 2 instructors were so good with them and had great ideas for helping the boys ease into it. Our one dog absolutely loved it and was so proud of himself for trying something new. Our other dog doesn't love getting wet so he is on the fence about it but he still did great! We're going back next week for session #2! Thank you Stacy and team!! 😍 We've also had several massages done at South Paw and we've noticed such a difference! Our one dog was attacked by a dog in 2016 and has some upper back/neck stuff going on. He relaxes into the massages pretty quickly and just lays there soooo chill and yawns/releases the whole time. He definitely loves it.
South Paw’s in-home dog sitters are excellent! Each one is dedicated to keeping the dogs happy and healthy whenever we travel. The sitters follow our doggy routines and probably give the pups more attention than we can on a regular day! They send updates and photos at whatever frequency we request, so there’s no worrying while we’re away from home. Our dogs are happy, which makes us happy, too. Thanks, South Paw!
I am blessed to have my dog ,Diamond, cared for by the South Paw staff. I Rescued her and she suffers from severe separation anxiety. Stacy and the staff have tirelessly worked with her and they have a trainer, Cissy, that has done wonders. I have used daycare and board with great success. I won’t leave my dog overnight with anyone else. Diamond runs to her area when we go there. She is so happy to be there. I get emails, updates and pictures of here which is so comforting. Diamond is so happy there and so am I. Gloria. H
Do NOT take your loved ones here!! Please read! I'll keep it short for my mental health . My dog is gone because of this place . He was not sick, he was not old . He was just a baby 1 1/2 years old and under there watch he was hit by a car. Our lives have been turned upset down. And our baby will be forever in our hearts . Here is a picture of our beautiful boy that was loved sooooo much and had the best life! Ps. It had taken me about 6 months to be able to speak out about it. But I want to make sure it does NOT happen again.
The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Dogs in care appear well cared for and the services are reasonably priced. I love that they also host dogs for the humane society as its so sweet to see a dog spa so actively give back in such an immediate fashion.
Finally, we found a groomer for our elderly female dog that treated her like she was their own dog. The bath and groom took less than 2 hours, not 4 hours like these big box stores and our Sugar was not cooped up in a small cage. Thank you for a great job and we'll be a long term client. UPDATE: Change of personnel has rendered this grooming salon 2 to 3 stars. My elderly female dog, at 60 pounds, is running up a $ 112 bill for a bath and basic grooming. Time to give her a bath myself and some trimming, but we found Blue Ribbon groomers that provide a bath and cut for $ 70.00, a $ 42 savings that will pay for a nice dinner.
Our Golden Retriever went for her very first spa day here. She came home looking wonderful and happy. Her coat was silkier than I have ever felt it! She had a trim of her nails and the fur on her paws and belly and it came out wonderfully. The team there was fantastic and our dog even went back for extra pets before leaving. I appreciated the precautions due to COVID19. They did car side pickup and drop off for our dog and we did not have to enter the building. They wore masks when we saw them and offered to take payments over the phone. We would absolutely go again and recommend it!
Very friendly and omg an amazing job on my dog. Last min they where able to come pick her up and drop her off. Very grateful. Would most definitely use them again.
I highly recommend boarding and all services at Orchid Island Dog Spa! I was so worried to leave my new puppy overnight, but I could tell the team really cared about the dogs and that she was being very well taken care of. She made a best friend and was even sad to leave. It was nice to know she was safe and cared for overnight. I will definitely be bringing her back! Everyone is extremely nice, too!
Marsha was so kind and gentle with my toy poodle. I am very particular as my dog has a collapsed trachea and its important to me that the groomer knows how to handle that. Cupcake looked amazing when she got done and she was a real mess when she went in. The woman at the front desk is so sweet and helpful. Great place! Highly recommend!!!!
This is a great place to send your dog. It's like Romper Room for dogs. They have fun daily activities for all the dogs such as arts and crafts and birthday parties and the staff are terrific. They are very kind and helpful. They take all breeds including pit bulls which is a wonderful thing. I highly recommend checking them out.
Since our first visit my dog’s friends at Orchid Island Dog Spa have taken the stress out of grooming and made her feel pampered and special. As a Wheaten her cut isn’t easy but she looks wonderful every time. When I have a special request, they are always responsive. Won’t go anywhere else.
The best experience for Chance. They took their time with my Maltese and she was very happy after day at the spa. Normally after been groomed she just wants to leave, but at Orchid Island Dog Spa she came out wagging her tail and wanted a belly rub. Thank you guys for making my baby feel special!! I will be back .
Terri and her team are the best! We have always had a relative to watch our pets when we go out of town but unfortunately the situation changed, and we had to figure out what to do. When I was at the vet's office, I mentioned the situation. As overprotective fur baby parents we knew we definitely didn't want to board them. They suggested we look for a pet sitter. I went online and found Pet Nannies and I am so glad I did. From the start Terri put us at ease and let us know our boys would be taken care of just like they were theirs. We have used the service now numerous times and couldn't be happier. We get two updates a day which include pictures and movies. They feed, play, exercise, and keep them company on each visit. When we come back it's like they haven't missed us which is great. Thanks, Pet Nannies we will be calling again soon.
Pet Nannies is amazing! My pet is well taken care of and happy! Ms. Terri and her team are extremely dependable and trustworthy. I always get a beautiful pic of my dog after their visit!
Terri and her team are absolutely amazing. It was the first time we’ve ever used a pet sitter and they completely put our minds at ease while we were away. They sent pictures and videos every single time they visited, which was just so nice to see our dog so happy with them! Our dog is pretty shy when she meets new people, but I could tell she felt comfortable with Terri and her team. They were very professional and were even able to work me in for an extra visit when my plane was delayed and I couldn’t get home in time to feed her. They are the best and we will for sure be using them every time we have to leave our sweet girl!
I booked with Pet Nannies twice, once over the week of Thanksgiving and the other during the week of Christmas while flying home for the holidays. I have a chinchilla and she requires very specific care with regard to environmental conditions, playtime, food, etc. I’m honored to have the first chinchilla they’ve cared for because they did an absolutely fantastic job. Terri (owner) is incredibly knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and compassionate with pets. I had verbally detailed to her the care my pet needed during our meet and greet, and she had sent me back a comprehensive list of everything I had explained from memory! She also sends sweet messages and artistic pictures of your pet to let you know they’re doing okay. Julia and Loren also did an awesome job caring for her and sending check-in messages and pictures every time they went over. I have never had more peace of mind being away from my pet, so if you are in their service areas, don’t even think twice about booking with Pet Nannies!
What a wonderful experience we had with Ms. Terri! Finding a pet nannie for our Manny cat in Fl was hard. Between the extended time away from the home and someone in which we could trust to come to the home. Ms. Terri and her team provided us this and more! From the start of the process ( meet and greet), to the regular updates while we were away from the home and the feedback when we arrived. Our Manny cat was in great hands! We will be using her team for all trips in the future!
Wonderful, caring, and detail oriented service. I just relocated within Brevard County and needed new pet sitter for our two kitties. We have a senior (18 y/o) cat and one younger cat. I was concerned about finding a good sitter for our senior. I hate leaving our babies. I was really impressed with Terri and her team. The initial in-home consultation left me feeling much better and I knew we found a good fit. They even had some good suggestions to make our kitties more comfortable during our absence. This team of wonderful people really cares about the animals they are taking care of. We got daily pictures with updates and some enjoyable videos too! They have amazing communication. I felt so much relief knowing they were taking good care of our kitties. When they visit, they don’t just quickly do the minimum. They do what’s needed and more. It was nice to come home to kitties and a home that was well taken care of while we were gone. As long as I’m in their service area they will be our service provider for taking care of our very loved kitties! Thank you Pet Nannies team 😊😻❤️
Wanted to take a moment to publicly both thank and recognize Pet Nannies as a caring, professional, and trustworthy in-home pet care service. I recently had to make a brief trip out of town and needed care for my senior fox terrier. The charming daily reports they provided via text gave me reassurance my fur baby was in good hands. So grateful this type of pet care service is available here and will certainly be utilizing them again. Highly recommend!
Pet Nannies have been great and dependable! been when needed. Terri gives us peace of mind knowing that our 15 year old Puppy has backup when things unexpectedly pop up. Big recommendations!
Best pet sitter by far!!! We have no worries when leaving our furry family home alone, Pet Nannies is always on time and responsible, sending us videos and photos of each visit. This is so much better than leaving your pet in a kennel locked in a cage. Always responsive and most friendly, glad I was introduced to them.
Terri owner of Pet Nannies , LLC is awesome. Peaches loves her! Best of all I have peace of mind knowing she’s being well taken care of!
↓ We didn't hire Pam at Latch-Key pets as a chauffeur for our dog but as a sitter while we out of town, and she did a GREAT job. Flexible with scheduling, considerate, and caring. We were extremely pleased with Pam "going the extra mile" to make sure our pet was well cared for and comfortable (we monitored the security cameras regularly and could see that she was). We were also impressed by Pam's follow-up after we arrived home to make sure things were ok. A far better solution then kenneling. YOU ROCK PAM! Thanks.
Pam and her associates are caring, competent, and dependable. Pam treats my pets as if they were her own. My pets love her, and so do I.
Hope she pet sits better than she drives. Just blew through a stop sign in a residential area.
I highly recommend Ashley with Handled With Love Pet Care! She comes to my house to let my dogs out for potty breaks whenever needed. Her pricing is very reasonable, and most importantly, she is trustworthy. Ashley always sends update photos, which gives me peace of mind knowing my two large dogs are well cared for. I feel completely safe leaving their care in her hands. She truly does an amazing job!
Our dog can be difficult because she is a rescue with an unhappy back story. But she loves Ashlie and can’t wait to jump in the car when she arrives. Very trustworthy service, dependable and good communicators.
I’ve had a great experience using this company ! They’re super responsive and great at working with us. I love having the peace of mind that when we’re on trips my dog is home and comfortable and safe in their care. I love the app they use and that I can see pictures of him and get daily updates.
If you’re looking for someone to look after your pets, everything from drop-in visits to overnight stays, call Ashlie and Handled With Love Pet Care.
Our previous pet sitter was clearly having issues with the different cats and their meds as they got older, so we were very picky about finding a new sitter. Ashlie has met all our expectations and makes sure we have all the photos and info we need to know our kitties are doing well. The app she uses for communicating and sharing photos has been so nice to use. Our cats are definitely a handful but even our most skittish rescue adores her. We highly recommend her, especially if you need peace of mind for pets with medical needs.
Simply put: amazing experience! Ashlie was extremely thorough with communication & providing care for all three of my dogs. She stayed over my home for two nights & did one morning drop in. As expected, everything remained tidy & kept. Our experience was outstanding & will certainly use her services again!
I have to say I was alittle nervous about doing the drop in thing but Ashlie and her girls did a fabulous job! My husband and I couldn’t have been happier about the job they did we got pictures and notification ever time the visit started and ended😀Ashlie was great about answering any texts or calls I made to her to check in on our boys. The other big plus was that our boys loved them and there visits❤️ we will definitely be using her for any future trips or vacations and we would highly recommend Ashlie and her crew
They keep me updated all day on what my pets are up to. They provide pictures that let me know everything is okay! One below. I would recommend to anybody
Ashlie and the sitters from Handled with Love are very patient and kind people. They were absolute sweethearts with my very shy cat. They really respected his boundaries but continued doing the tasks I asked of them. I really appreciated all of the pictures and messages they left and they really took note of any potential issues and continued to update throughout the drop ins. Booking was very in-depth and I appreciate the amount of detail asked to ensure ideal care. I really appreciated the range of times they can accommodate for drop ins. Love love love and highly recommend! ❤️❤️❤️
Ashlie is absolutely wonderful!! While we were away, she sent us tons of pictures of our dog having a blast at her home. I don't think he was ready to leave when we picked him up!
Dylan our 5 y/o lovable yellow lab has been coming to Pawprints since he was a puppy! He goes to daycare, attends trainings, and has been boarded numerous times. His favorite is the swim time!!! He LOVES the place and can’t get in there fast enough when we drop him off! Staff is AWESOME!! VERY grateful!! We HIGHLY recommend!!
My mini Aussie and I have attended Puppy Kindergarten and Beyond Puppy classes. He has learned so much, and so have I. I’ve used their boarding facility, and rely on daycare when needed. Each employee takes the time to answer questions and all are knowledgeable and caring. It’s a safe, fun and loving place for your baby!
My Toto has been going to Paw Prints for over 14 years . When Lisa and Shaun first opened. Toto loved going there . They were awesome the staff was outstanding. Now 14 years later they are incredible. Unfortunately I had to put my baby to sleep on Tuesday . But next puppy will go straight to Paw Prints. I could not recommend enough. Training, playing and boarding are outstanding. Toto will miss you guys and so will I . See you again soon . Thank you for taking such great care of my baby.
Although the facility looks wonderful and they do seem genuinely concerned for the wellbeing of the dogs, my first experience with their policy of a doggy daycare visit for evaluation didn't go smoothly as I was not informed of an additional cost for the dogs to be evaluated. Also, one of my dogs was made to kennel in a high traffic area with, in my opinion, too much stimulus to be able to settle and rest without making noise, therefore, he was not passed for the evaluation and I was asked to bring him back for another cost and he would be placed in the actual boarding area. I feel like this is in an effort to extract additional costs from me. When I expressed my concern about whether or not they would except him when the time came for boarding, they assured me they would be able to. So, why the extra stress of getting my dog there for another evaluation and charge? Do not get me wrong, I have read and spoken to people who have utilized this service and all have high praise, but I am not in favor of charges not divulged at the start nor the policy of repeat evaluations do to an unfortunate choice on the part of the provider.
Pawprints has been amazing! My strong willed super active pup loves going there and falls asleep in the car on the way home. She has a private training session during her day and we both participate in the group sessions and pool parties. I was so frustrated with an unruly puppy prior to Pawprints but now she's a new dog. We both are so much happier. Thank you Pawprints!
My dog has stayed here many times & she’s always treated with the best of care!! I’m out of town during this Hurricane Milton & they have been very great about keeping in contact with me.
I wouldn’t trust any other place with our 2 dogs Lilly & Iris. A true test is when your dogs are practically jumping out the window for daycare and knocking you out of the way to get inside fast enough for boarding!! Swim Club is their favorite!!
Everyone also remembers Rocky, even if we haven’t been there awhile and that makes me feel good. The rates are reasonable and the daycare is great…sometimes I gave them give him a half hour training while he is there. 5-star for sure.
I love this place… they’re clean, organized & takes very good care of your furry kidz. And most of all the dogs have a good time while being boarded!! The staff is very friendly too😊. …
Brought our 3 dogs there to be groomed for the first time. We were concerned because our pups can be a challenge. They took the time to listen to our needs and concerns as we are new to the area. The staff did a great job with our dogs and put them at ease, providing a great experience for them. We won’t need grooming services often but when we do, Pawprints is where we will bring them. Thanks for the fantastic experience!
