Dog Sitters in Groveland, FL

This place came recommended by a friend. My dog stayed for three days. He seemed to enjoy himself. Thru groomed him for me, cut his nails and I was told he made friends and played well with the other dogs. Very reasonably priced.

We left our two young fur babies with Pat the Dog for a week. The pups went right in with no hesitation. We were very relieved because it was their first time being left. They were very happy when we picked them up. We highly recommend Pay the Dog……….you don’t have to worry about your fur babies.

We've been taking our pooches here for over two years. They do a pretty good job grooming them. Turn around time is fairly quick too. Sometimes the fur isn't always even, looks rushed, but overall the job gets done. I'm the proud mama of rescue mutts, not show dogs. I do wish they had a higher, more noticeable sign. Even after driving there multiple times, I've passed it more times than I care to admit. And turning around is definitely not convenient. Parking is not great either, but I have found the outside median grassy area is a much better place to park and allows you to get out with little effort. Phone staff are always polite and helpful. Darby is very sweet and attentive. She actively listens to specifics I've given her, regarding the health welfare of one of my dogs and shared the info with the groomer. Tyler has a subtle sense of humor, but he's thorough and ensures you're aware of their policies. I also appreciate that they require veterinary proof of vaccination and wellness checks. Keeps everyone's fur babies safe and healthy.

My dog has been attending Pat the dog since he was a puppy. He absolutely loves it there .He comes home happy and to me that is important. The staff is great and the same people have been there since he was a puppy so it must be a great place to work as well.

We had our dog groomed a week before and bathed the day before dropping him off for eight days and we picked him up drenched in pee. I’m horrified and will not be coming back.

I boarded my 6 dogs and am very pleased with their care. I highly recommend Pat the Dog to anyone that needs to board their dogs for a trip. If there were 10 stars, I'd give them a 10.

Friendly and knowledgeable. Our Briard has been to a lot of groomers all around the country and he was so relaxed and looked so nice after our first visit. We will bring him back while we are here in Florida. Thank you 🩷 …

Excellent facility that offers day care, grooming, and boarding. I am very happy with the staff and the services. Lulu enjoys her time there.

This place is NOT recommended. After several years as A client I was 10 minutes late for an appointment and was scolded by the groomer and charged extra 20 dollars. She has zero customer service skills and was VERY rude to us. We will NEVER to this unorganized place where the groomer is a terrible human. NOT Recommended…..🤬 …

All the girls that work there are great and never had an issue with anyone. What I will not tolerate is Tyler screaming at my dog for being excited and acting like...well A DOG!! My dog has been going there for over a year and never had a problem. The fact that my husband could hear it from the front desk is completely unprofessional and unacceptable. Obviously he does not need to be working with animals. We will be taking our business elsewhere

Interviewed a few different people to pet sit my two cats. Knew instantly that Ana was the one I would go with because she asked good questions and took notes of everything we discussed. My cats fell in love with her instantly and one of my cats is very scared normally but Ana won her over very quickly. Will definitely be using her more in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter.

Ana and Julian have been taking care of my puppy for months now. They came by about a month and a half before I even started work, because I wanted to have someone lined up. They then went out of their way to stop by again when we finally got close to needing them daily to check in on my pup! My pup LOVES Ana. She takes such good care of him - she asks questions about my training with him so she can continue it when she is here. She always sends me photos and videos so I know he's happy - it brightens my day to see him so happy! I recommend Ana and Julian 100%!!! They will help you with whatever your pet sitting needs are! They are also professional and reliable - I always know if we set dates and times, Ana will be here!! LOVE them :) - Sarah

I cannot recommend Like your Pet enough! As a pet owner we always worry about leaving our 2 babies when we have to travel and cant take them but since we met Ana and Juliana we know they are in good hands and are getting lots of love. Whenever we are away we get lots of pictures and our dogs absolutely LOVE them!! I’m such a loyal client that I moved to the same community as them so that they can continue to look after our babies and I’ll continue to follow them wherever they go 😂😂😂😂

I couldn’t be happier with their care with my puppies. Ana and Juliano have been taking care of my two dogs for months now. It’s impressive how good they care about them. They send videos and photos from their walks everyday. You can see they are really happy. My dogs love Ana. It makes me happy to see how much they are loved by. I really recommend them with no doubt. They will help you with whatever pet sitting or dog walker you need. Super professional and reliable! Thank you Ana for all you do for Sam and Roxy. They truly love you. ❤️

Ana and her husband are such sweet people! I felt very confident that they took wonderful care of my puppy. You can tell that they both genuinely love animals. She sent me photos and videos and walked him every 2 hours. It is great knowing we can trust and rely on them whenever we need to travel! Thank you again Ana!

Like Your Pet did such an incredible job with my pet. I can’t recommend them enough! They came to my home daily while I was on vacation and everything was seamless. They texted me daily with updates and pictures of how my pet was doing and when I returned home, my pet was happy and healthy. Ana and Juliano are excellent caregivers and I will definitely utilize their services again!

Ana and Juliano are incredible. There is no one else that I can trust to take care of my dog besides them. They know what they are doing, and they do it with love. I love that they send me pictures and videos every day. If you need someone to take care of your pets, they are the ones!

Anna and Julio are fabulous, responsible, loving people. I am so lucky to have known them and to have them take care of my dog, Winston. They do such an amazing job. They are so flexible, always update me with pictures and videos when we are away. Thank you Anna and Julio for helping us every time we have needed help with puppy sitting!

I have a special need senior dog and two cats and I gotta say, Ana took such good care of them that I had a slight feeling they didn’t like seeing us when we came back from our trip 🤣🤣. Jokes apart, it’s safe to say that she knows what she is doing, that her love for animals is genuine and that from now on she will be the only one looking after my fur babies whenever we are away. Thank you Ana!

I don’t have enough words to describe how awesome Ana and her Husband are. I will recommend them to anyone that has a pet and need their services. They are very professional and incredible sweet. They answered all my questions and were always available. They sent me pictures and videos of Milo several times throughout the day while they were taking care of him. If you live in the area, do not hesitate to contact them.

The caring and compassionate owners run a top notch boarding facility. Our dog Molly just absolutely loved this place. After having a horrible experience at another local place, it was a blessing to board her here.

Great place to leave your pets. Rick, Cathy and the staff are wonderful with the dogs. Our older bloodhound seem d to really enjoy himself We will definitely be back and recommend!

We are from Decatur, AL. We took our Boxer and our very hard to handle Rhodesian Ridgeback here. They were very accomodating seeing as we could only make it outside of normal hours. Even though we were after normal hours the tour of the facility was very thorough. We got to see all three play areas and we got to see the kennels. We have no doubt our dogs go exersize as they were "tired" of thier vaction when we picked them up. They were there almost a whole week and were still in great health when we picked them up. Of course our dogs would have ripped through some treats if we had any because all thier activity over the week they were there burned some calories. We are going to board them here again this December for another week.

Just picked our baby up Chachee and he absolutely loved it. Very pleased with the care he received definitely will be using them again, would recommend them to anyone needing a great dog resort!

Called to see about boarding and the owner was very nasty and rude. Definitely wouldn’t trust such a rude person with my furry family members.

Grateful that I had them so good great service

owner sounds aloof during call

Really friendly.

Emily and Bill did an outstanding job watching our 3 dogs. Their service was exceptional. They went above and way beyond what we would have expected a sitting service to do and it was greatly appreciated. They gave great reports after each visit and sent wonderful photos. I attached the cutest photo of our big dog poking his head out of the dog door. I highly recommend WiseDog Pet care and we will use them again in the future.

Bill and Emily are wonderful! They have taken care of our fur babies for many years with the utmost of care! We have a pit bull who has never done well at typical boarding places. It is so nice to be able to have him stay in his happy place with people who truly love him. My mom had an older dog that she could no longer take care of. Sadie was 12 years old and had always had stomach issues. Bill and Emily worked with Sadie for weeks as we tried to find her a good home. With their love and attention, they figured out what caused her stomach issues and developed a diet for her. She went from throwing up multiple times a day to not throwing up at all. She is currently with a loving family, and we are so grateful for Bill and Emily for taking the time to figure out what diet works best for her. You will not be disappoint with their service. I HIGHLY recommend them!

I am so grateful that I found WiseDog Pet Care. Emily and Bill have the best communication I have experienced with pet care. I love the updates and pictures we receive during their visits. We have 3 big dogs that don't have the best mannerisms, but Emily and Bill made us feel at ease knowing they can handle them. The billing and scheduling are truly easy. I am so happy with the service we have had so far. Thank you soooo much for taking care of our babies and keeping our minds at ease knowing you're there taking care of them.

Emily and Bill from DogSmith of Greater Orlando Pet Sitting are great! My husband and I have two Labradors and we went away to Europe for almost 3 weeks. During that time there was a hurricane in Florida, and we were concerned to say the least! Emily and Bill took care of the situation and made sure our dogs were safe during the hurricane and for the rest of the trip. They kept in constant contact and provided regular updates and photos. They made sure I felt safe that our dogs were taken care of, so I could enjoy my vacation. Thanks Emily and Bill!

I was always reluctant about having anyone babysit my dogs however when I met Emily and Bill they definitely changed my mind. My dogs love them so much and they are so incredible with my dogs. Emily really goes out of her way to play with my dogs besides just feeding them and fluffing their beds. I feel so happy and secure knowing that my dogs are being taken care of by DogSmith of greater Orlando. I have two Labradoodles and they both weigh around 70 pounds. I would highly recommend this company because I feel very fortunate to have met two people that really love dogs and make them happy.

Emily & Bill are fantastic! They took excellent care of our boys and our home while we were out of the country. Extraordinary petsitters like them aren't easy to come by, but ordinary one are everywhere, so watch out. When you do your research carefully, you'll find that DogSmith rises to the top of the list. Remember, you're trusting your furry family members to someone. With Emily & Bill, I slept well at night and my mind was at ease, allowing me to more fully enjoy my vacation. We'd hire them again without question and we'd recommend them to all of our family and friends.

We have used Emily twice on our last 2'vacations and we love her! It's so nice to not have to worry about our cats ( yes she takes care of cats too) while we are away! She even sends us updates each day after she stops by which is so nice! We would highly recommend Emily !

At first I was worried to have someone come to my home when I am not around. Also not knowing are they who they really say they are. Or will I come to an empty house. They came over before the pet sitting to introduce themselves and to meet their client. I would highly recommend them for pet sitting. They took care of my Dachshund Oscar for 4 days and did a wonderful job. When I got home I could tell they took good care of him. Also, I received 3 messages a day with updates and I have documentation of every visit. They are very professional and trustworthy. I will be using them in the future.

DogSmith of Greater Orlando has taken care of our girl Precious for 2 years now and have given her outstanding care. Precious does not take to everyone however she has taken to Bill and Emily immediately. Thank you DogSmith for everything you have done for our girl and us. Sherrie McDaniel

I have used DogSmith several times. They are wonderful. Coming on time, my dogs love them & I get detailed happenings with pictures every day. They are flexible with my schedule and easy to contact. Thank goodness for them! I recommend them highly!!

Puppy Dreams is the only place we trust to take care of our pups when we’re away! After a horrible experience at another boarding facility we found Puppy Dreams. There was a couple month wait to do our initial visit to determine if our girls could join the pack but I’m glad we waited until we could get in. P & L love it there and are always happy when we arrive and are great when we pick them up. At other facilities they would have gastrointestinal issues in the days after pick up but that hasn’t happened on any of the occasions they’ve stayed. The facility is spacious and clean with lots of outdoor space. Puppy Dreams has been able to accommodate multiple last minute requests for boarding when we had water damage in our home and it wasn’t a safe environment for them. It’s been awesome not to have to worry about our pups throughout the reconstruction and Puppy Dreams has had availability for our girls on the multiple occasions it’s taken to get all of our repairs completed. The staff is fantastic and it’s reassuring to know that our dogs are so well taken care of when they’re away from home. They’re getting playtime, given their medication, fed and walked consistently, and enjoying lots of love & cuddles from the staff. If your pups are a big part of your family like they are for us, check out Puppy Dreams where they’ll be treated like they should be!

We LOVE bringing our two dogs for boarding and doggy day care at Puppy Dreams. The owner is wonderful and the staff is super friendly. They give the dogs quality care and attention each and every time. I have been taking my dogs here for several years and will continue coming back. The dogs hop out of the car when I arrive and get excited when they go inside. The building is clean and well maintained, and again, I can't say enough about the owner and staff. They are AWESOME. :-)

Just a wonderful and caring pet boarding for our Duffy to visit. We have been using them to take care of our pets when we travel for over 15 years, and never a worry 😟 …

Bindi just loves Puppy Dreams. They take and return dogs very quickly. Always Friendly.

Highly recommended! They love and take great care of the pups!

Staff is wonderful and really cares about your pet. We Did first day of doggy day care here and our puppy loves it. The dogs are watched over carefully and play in the outside yard often. Looking forward to our next day there for our puppy. So reasonably priced for the services you get here.

Having tried several doggie daycare locations across Orlando, Puppy Dreams is BY FAR our favorite! The staff are all so friendly and caring, and you can truly see that they enjoy what they do. They take the dogs out more times per day than other daycare places, and they really let them play to their hearts content! We never worry about our pup when she’s here, and we know she’s getting honest love and attention. When your pup is here it’s like they’re staying with an extended member of the family! Thank you, Puppy Dreams!!!

We just started taking our dog, "Mama", to Puppy Dreams a few weeks ago. She loves it! She really enjoys being with other dogs (especially the calm ones), and she's always happy when any of the staff come out to greet her and take her in to start her day there. Great day care for dogs!

All 3 of my pups have stayed at Puppy Dreams since 2006. They have a caring staff and I have trusted leaving them. Duffy likes the big grassy play yard and playing with his little friends.

We love bringing our dog here! We’ve had trouble at other boarding places who won’t take him because he’s overly playful and too big for other dogs. At Puppy Dreams, he gets 1 on 1 attention or carefully supervised play with other dogs that share his temperament. He’s always so happy to go for daycare or boarding and we can tell the whole Puppy Dreams staff truly love every dog that walks through their door. Couldn’t recommend them enough!

Lorri took such great care of my fur baby while we were away! She kept us updated with regular updates about my pup, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear my dog was being cared for by someone who truly loves animals. I highly recommend Lorri’s services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter!

I was new to the area and found Pawsmere Pet Retreat searching online. I've boarded my cat, Maverick, with Michelle at Pawsmere Pet Retreat several times over the past year. I have been so pleased with the care and attention Maverick has received. I get updates via text, photo or video during his stay and he is comfortable and happy in his surroundings. Michelle is knowledgeable, friendly, professional, sweet and truly cares about her furry clients. Maverick looks forward to his "vacations"! I highly recommend Pawsmere Pet Retreat😻

We love Michelle and Pawsmere, she is always accommodating and attentive to our Pomeranian pup, to say he adores her is an understatement. We are able to book our vacations with peace of mind knowing she’s watching him and he always comes home spoiled after his grooming. 10/10!

We and our pups could not be happier that we found Pawsmere! They have groomed my mini Aussie puppy twice and boarded her and our older dachshund recently. Michelle and her staff run a professional and caring operation. They are truly passionate in their dedication to our pups. They were attentive to my very nervous 8 month old pup, kept me informed and provided excellent care. Thank you, Pawsmere!!!

We brought our two dogs (one is 3 and has been boarded before and one is 8 months and never has) to Pawsmere Pet Boarding and we couldn’t be more grateful we did. The owner treated them like family. She keeps it small in the way of allowing roughly 3 dogs to board at one time. This allows the dogs to get adequate attention, exercise, and safety. She sent me texts during our time away updating us on how the dogs were doing and included photos and videos. The dogs stayed almost a week and they were so happy to lucky when I brought them home. She is also a grooming facility. So she groomed them before pick up per our request. It was a great value and quality care for our fur babies. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a more personal affordable boarding option for your dog or cat.

Michelle the owner of Pawsmere Pet is fantastic! She does an excellent job bathing and grooming my frenchie!! He comes back smelling great, looking fabulous!

Love love love! Our dog always looks Amazing! Michelle is so knowledgeable in dog grooming, dog behavior, and training techniques. I love that you can get an appointment quickly too!

Michelle really loves animals. It shows in her attention to detail. My Benji loved his visit to Pawsmere.

Was very pleased with my grooming. Such a clean and tight cut. Loved it. Would recommend pawsmere to everyone

What a lovely place! Michelle is absolutely amazing! Paisley and Madeline look (and smell) gorgeous!

Michelle is lovely person with a true affection for the pets that she services!

AlleyCat’s has been our pet sitter since moving to FL three years ago. They take tremendous care of our pets and we love the communication we get. They are also great if you just need someone to water plants, brink in packages, etc while you are away. Highly recommend!!

I feel such peace leaving my pets knowing they will be so well cared for. The app is amazing and allows me to stay connected with my sitter, receiving daily updates and photos. Thank you, AlleyCats!

We have been using Alleycat's Pet Service for cat sitting since we moved here in 2014 and we love them. They are super attentive, very professional and always available when we need them. When one of our cats was very sick and on death's door while we were away they sent a very experienced cat sitter to cat for him, make him comfortable, communicate his situation to our vet and even administer fluids to him so that he'd make it until we got home. (It worked! I got to be with him at the end which was so appreciated.) Now we have kittens and they are great with them too. Highly recommended.

AlleyCat's is the best! Alley came to my home and met my cat, got me set up on the app and toured the points in my home that she would need to know before my trip out of town. She came every day as promised and stayed for the entire 30 minutes that I had hired her for (did not get that elsewhere!). The daily reports and photos were really nice and I didn't worry at all that my cat was in good hands and enjoying her visits. My kitty can be a little feisty and she handled it wonderfully. Will definitely use AlleyCat's again!

I can't say enough good things about Alley Cats! We have used Alley Cats for occasional overnight getaways in the past and they have always been so wonderful, however, this weekend we were going away for a more extended period of time and our pup happened to come down with a stomach bug just as we were heading out. Not only did the whole team of Alley Cats professionals come together to take care of our baby, but they kept us updated at every visit with pictures and messages. When our pup needed to be taken to the vet for some meds, Ally, the owner, took him in like he was her own. We are SO grateful for this service. It is incredibly reasonable, price-wise, and worth every penny. Ally, Michelle, Kelly, Courtney and Susan have all worked with us and our pup and we are SO impressed with how thorough and caring they all are. THANK YOU, ALLEY CATS!

AlleyCat's Pet Service is the ABSOLUTE BEST!!! They take incredible care of our dogs & are so easy to do business with. They communicate through a portal that easily allows you to schedule, pay invoices, receive messages from the pet sitters & get super cute pictures of our dogs while we are away! We have been using them for many years & refer all of our friends & family! We love AlleyCat's Pet Service!!!

As always excellent service! We recently returned from a 3 night get away. We have 4 dogs and a Guinea Pig and never worried. Allison kept us up to date on her slumber party and all of my babies were well taken care of. Love the ability to keep them in the home environment. I have been a client for over 5 years and have always received amazing care for all of my babies every visit.

We've used a AlleyCat's to look after Chloe for all our trips since we moved to Winter Garden in 2014. Chloe is always perfectly happy on our return, well fed and cared for - and the regular updates and photos while we are away provide extra reassurance that all is well at home. Of course AlleyCat's makes sure the litter tray is clean, mail brought in, and all the other details that help for a smooth vacation for us and for Chloe!

We can't recommend AlleyCat enough! We have been using them weekly for a little over six months now. Carla, our pet sitter, is reliable, communicative, caring, and goes above and beyond in so many ways. We especially love the pictures of the dogs we get after each visit. It gives us such a peace of mind during the work day!

AlleyCat’s Pet Service is one of a kind. We recently brought a new puppy into our home and I asked for recommendations (now I know why I received so many on this business) I contacted them through their website which is beautifully done and easy to navigate for all your needs. The owner reached out to me to schedule a meet and greet. The two primary sitters that come to my home are amazing with our puppy and the owner is quick to respond and runs this business so well. I love the online scheduler and the fact that I get a notification in the portal after they leave with a report on what they did during the visit and some really cool pics they take every time they are there. I highly recommend them and will be using them for overnight needs as well.

Michelle and her team at Pluto’s Pals Pet Care were a lifesaver for us and our 2.5-year-old Portuguese Water Dog, Otter. We were at our wit’s end when we found Michelle, as Otter had begun displaying aggressive behavior, severely biting us without warning. We had already spent thousands of dollars on numerous vet visits, including a GI specialist and a veterinary behaviorist who prescribed a variety of anxiety and sedative medications. We even tried working with a fear-free trainer, but nothing seemed to help. It was heartbreaking to see Otter so unhappy, and we felt completely lost. Michelle was a breath of fresh air. From the moment we met her, we felt heard and understood. She took the time to really listen to our concerns, cried with us, and showed us and Otter the utmost respect. Michelle’s compassion and expertise were evident from the start. We were literally a day away from the heartbreaking decision of behavioral euthanasia (this was tearing us up but we were under the impression it was the only option), as Otter was so fearful that he wouldn’t even be in the same room with me without growling, barking, and charging. It felt like my best friend had suddenly turned against me, and we didn’t know why. Nothing had happened that would justify his behavior. Michelle helped us discover that Otter had numerous food allergies, which were likely causing him immense discomfort and triggering his aggressive behavior. With her guidance, we were able to wean Otter off his anxiety medications and sedatives, experiment with different diets, and introduce CBD oil and probiotics. The transformation was incredible. Otter graduated from a board and train program with Michelle at Pluto’s Pals, while we attended her first weekly dog psychology class to better understand how to communicate with Otter in a way that is natural for dogs. Despite our initial apprehension, given the amount of money we had already spent on various treatments and trainers, we are endlessly grateful that we took a chance on Michelle and that she took a chance on us. She truly helped us rebuild our relationship with Otter. Otter has come such a long way. He’s no longer fearful and aggressive; he’s the smart, sweet, and feisty dog we always knew him to be before his aggression started. He even allows us to groom him again, something that had become a huge issue due to his discomfort. We cannot thank Michelle enough for her patience, understanding, and dedication. She has given us back our best friend, and for that, we will be forever grateful. If you’re struggling with your dog’s behavior and feel like you’ve run out of options, I highly recommend reaching out to Michelle at Pluto’s Pals Pet Care. She’s our angel and truly a miracle worker!

Mr Giggles LOVES Michelle and his pack at Plutos Pals! I wish I would have called a year earlier because it was what I was looking for all along. He gets training, gets to play outside in the spacious area where he can run, play in the water feauture(which he loves), play with his pack, so he has a balanced, structured day. I was hesitant in the beginning due to the days, hours, and all-size dogs together, but I made the adjustment because he is happy, learning, and she is a trained handler with dog pyscholgy experience. He has never been excited about daycare, but I love the fact that he beats me to the door. And he asks Michelle for cuddles and gets them while he is there which makes me so happy. I've also learned a lot from Michele and grown as a dog owner which has improved our relationship because I understand dogs more now.

My dog Maggie was almost 9 months old when I got her from a rescue. She was wild and wiggly and had no understanding of any commands. But I figured as she matured she’d settle down and I would have a handle on her. After 3 months passed I realized Maggie needed more than I could provide her when it came to helping her reach her full potential. At home she was fairly calm but if I had visitors or took her out in public things would quickly escalate. She is a social butterfly, not aggressive but hyper. She approached everyone with an enthusiastic jump nearly knocking them down. She had rude social behavior with both people and other dogs. Walking her on a leash was difficult as she pulled hard in every direction. With her constantly jumping on people, tugging at their clothes, biting them for attention and ignoring my commands I was at a loss as to how to stop her awful behavior. I became mentally & physically stressed always trying to control my dog and living a life of chaos. But then, I met Michelle and EVERYTHING changed! I enrolled Maggie in the 3-week boot camp at Pluto’s Pals and it was the best decision I’ve ever made for my dog! From my first conversation with Michelle I knew she is genuinely invested in every dog she works with. She took the time to listen to my concerns as well as explain her approaches. Not only does Michelle have extensive quality training but she has a true understanding of the reasons behind a dog’s behavior. She holds the keys to changing that behavior and bringing out the very best in a dog. Not only did Maggie emerge as a shining star after training but we as dog owners benefited as well. Michelle equipped us with the tools necessary to continue a structured life for Maggie which in turn enriched our lives together as a family. She is the same sweet, vibrant girl we love but has a new calm, obedient, patient disposition about her. We can now walk her with ease, have company over without chaos and have peace of mind knowing she’s living a life that’s safe and secure. We look forward to watching her grow and learn even more in future training sessions with Michelle. Pluto’s Pals has also become Maggie’s home-away-from-home if I need to travel without her. She has such a total blast every time she reunites with her pack! It’s so comforting knowing she’s getting the best care. Thank you Michelle for bringing out the best in our pup!

When I say Michelle is one in a million, I mean it. She will always put your dog first and educate you on how to enhance your pup for a better future. Bono adores going to Pluto’s and I LOVE when he returns as he is normally bouncing off the walls, but instead returns home to me well mannered and sleeps for a day! You’ll see the confidence in your dog soar and learn instinctive skills our modern lifestyle inhibits. I board and daycare Bono without hesitation, knowing he is able to socialise all day unlike other boarding facilities that isolated until a 30 minute play time is due. From zooming in the yard, stomping his paws on pack walks to splashing in the pool and cooling off in the house on the tile or sofa. They are monitored 24/7 and have freedom to roam, socialise or crate themselves for alone time whenever they want. (Plus Michelle monitors when a nap is needed for Bono as he would play all day!) It’s the closest if not better than home as he gets to snuggle with all his pack pals. Seeing Bono be a confident, sociable pup around balanced and beautifully mannered pack members is a feeling I don’t tire from. I’ll always be thankful that I met Michelle at a local pet fest and cannot recommend her services enough. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nothing but an amazing experience so far with Pluto’s Pals! When moving to the Orlando area we were recommended to check out Pluto’s Pals by our dog trainer, and spoke with Michelle on how to get the dogs to become part of the pack! We have done both pack days and overnight boarding, & we normally do just 1 pack day a week for the two pups. Everything is extremely organized and a lot of care and thought is put into everything. From making sure the dogs are all healthy and vaccinated, to getting them adjusted to all the dogs in the pack! My dogs are big barkers (dachshunds are very loud hahah) but they were also dealing with insecurity and nervousness. Just bringing them once a week into a calm and structured environment and introducing them to new dogs has improved both of their behaviors tremendously! They can walk with and near other dogs and strangers without reacting, they are much more polite with strangers, and their confidence has skyrocketed. We’ve been a part of the pack for about 3 months now, and will stay with the pack as long as we are in Orlando! Thank you Michelle and Pluto’s Pals for taking great care of Benson and Piper 🐶🐾

Michelle is incredible. We moved here late 2022 and it was hard to find a good daycare/boarding facility (there are many options to choose from, but none seemed to have the quality I was looking for). I found Michelle, called her, and Kobe made it into the pack a couple days later! He absolutely loves it there and I appreciate Michelle’s approach - she emphasizes training and fun! She’s also the only person that’s been able to trim his nails, which we’ve always had a hard time with. I travel 45 min one-way to get to her so that says a lot about my trust. You’ll definitely get the full package with Michelle!

I highly recommend Michelle and Pluto’s Pals Pet Care for all your puppy and dog needs. Our puppy has been attending pack days for the past 6 months. He gets excited every time he sees Michelle. He has learned to behave and socialize with other dogs during pack days. He’s spent a few weekends with her when we’ve gone out of town. Our family was first time dog owners. Naturally, we had many questions. Michelle has been very helpful and responsive with all our questions and concerns.

We couldn't be happier with the results with our girl Cali. Michelle was awesome to work with and it is so nice to have Cali relaxed and confident. She is just a different dog and she is so nice to be around. I'm 100% positive Cali is much happier too, with us now knowing how to communicate with her better. It was a great experience for Cali and us, I recommend PlutosPals Pet Care to everyone that may need Michelle's service. Great great place!

Our greyhound, Dana, has attended Boot Camp and is a regular pack day participant. Before her training began, she was the most fearful dog we have ever seen and rescued. Michelle took her under her wing and sent her back a different dog. She is now very outgoing and much less afraid of noises and people. We highly recommend PlutosPals and are thankful we found Michelle.

Thank you Michelle for hosting my sweet girl, Sophie for 3 days! From start to finish, Michelle communicated effectively, first calling and asking really thoughtful questions about my pup’s behavior at home. She also educated me on basic training and behavioral aspects, which I appreciated. She took all the necessary precautions by ensuring all pack members are vaccinated and are current on preventative treatments (heart-worm/flea & tick). Upon their initial meeting, Sophie immediately took to Michelle’s calm nature. Being pretty picky about where my dog stays for extended periods of time, I was immediately reassured that she was in great hands. Michelle constantly sent updates about Sophie, administered medication with no issues and was able to get my girl to eat from day 1 (she typically goes on hunger strikes when in a new environment). She allowed my girl to move at her own pace and even accommodated her need to be super close to a human, until she warmed up to the pack. I’m definitely looking forward to utilizing her training services in the near future, so we can continue building Sophie’s confidence when around other furry friends of all sizes. Please consider Pluto’s Pals Pet Care, your pup will thank you!

FROM LYNNE BIE - CLIENT: We have used Loving Paws on many occasions and every time the service is 5 star. Finding Marc was the best thing that happened to us since we like to travel but don’t want to board our cat. Marc is 100% dependable and our cat is relaxed and happy when we return. Pictures are sent to us daily so we can see our little guy and if there are any issues he is in touch with us immediately. I could not recommend a better company to work with and you can be assured that your pets are in excellent hands. we have him booked for several more trips and it is just one less thing to worry about when we travel.

We have 2 Chihuahuas, 1 Bloodhound, a Bearded Dragon, an African Grey Parrot, a pig, a goat and a flock of chickens. We've been forever concerned about animal care when we have to go away. The options of having family or freinds taking care of our pets, and boarding them too, all seemed to fall short of our expectations. Then we found Loving Paws of Clermont. Our worries about animal care are over. We just returned from a short trip away and all of our pets seemed absolutely fine. In fact, we think they would have rather seen their Loving Paws people come through the door as opposed to seeing us. It's sort of like they were saying, "Oh its you" in a very non enthusiastic kind of way. That made our day! Our animal care worries are over Thanks to Marc and the Loving Paws of Clermont bunch. Awesome! Tom Jackson & Susie Simmons Groveland, Florida

On glowing referrals, I contacted Marc to do some training with my dog for anxiety issues. Our first session was actually so much fun, and Belle responded so positively to Marc. I was amazed at how much she learned and responded in just one session. Unfortunately, I learned that I need more training than the dog! Marc definitely has a calming aura that is obviously perceived by the animals he trains. I would definitely recommend Marc for any dog training needs!

The service received was excellent. It is the first time we've used them and will do so in the future. Ana did an excellent job of keeping in touch with us after every visit, including pictures of the cats and a checklist of everything done. she even brought in some flowers left at our front door the day after we left and kept them watered until our return. It is a professional and well organized organization with a real compassion and dedication for the the work they do.

Thank you Loving Paws of Clermont for everything you've done for us over the last year or so. My boys love it when you come to see them and I know that they are well taken care of when we have to go out of town!

They were excellent as always. Take great care of my cats. Play with them, let them out on the lanai. I come home to content cats and can go on vacation without worrying about them!

Such caring services for our 2 dogs and easy to schedule! I love the pictures we receive of our fur babies when we're away.

Recently moved to the area and feel very lucky to have you found this gem! Great customer service, good prices and our dog comes home happy! We will definitely be back!

Extremely professional and reliable! Our pets where very well taken care of!
