This was our first time using a pet or house sitter and the bar set by Leslie is very high! She is warm, friendly, communicative, responsible and very clean. Upon arriving, she immediately bonded with our rat terrier, Oreo, by bringing him a new frisbee (his favorite toy/activity) and throwing it for him in our backyard. Leslie has a sweet and mellow dog, Benny, who is now Oreo's new buddy! She kept my husband and I updated via texts/pictures of their daily activities, our house, and was proactive in asking questions before she left. She even dropped our dog off at the kennel for one night at the end of our trip since our flight was too late for us to get home for him! Our home was clean and had fresh flowers from our garden that she put in vases for us! Such a simple and nice touch! We have asked Leslie to come back to sit for us again for 2 weeks in August. I'd highly recommend her to take care of your pet(s) and home too!
Angie and Joe were fabulous pet/house sitters and overall people! Angie sent daily updates with photos. Really appreciate the extra effort they put into watering the grass and garden. The house was exactly the same as when I left (including sheets/towel washed, beds made, frig cleaned, dishes put away and trash taken out...). Pretty sure Mia was looking for them the next day as she ran to the guest bedroom. Already scheduled a second sit! If you're lucky enough to land them as pet sitter then you're lucky.
Sharon was a fantastic sitter for our week away! She left the house as tidy and clean as we left it, including changing the sheets for our arrival. I truly cannot even tell she was here and that made coming home after a long travel day so much easier. She was communicative every step of the way and provided daily updates on our cat with photos. We knew our home and pet were in good hands! I would gladly welcome Sharon back any time should we be so lucky : )
Hanna did an excellent job sitting Molly, Eddie, Jasper, and Miley. She communicated well, took notes on our initial meet and greet. She went out of her way to help us get the dogs to a kennel when we experienced a family emergency and could not extend her sit due to work commitments. The dogs loved her and the shy kitties came out of greet her mid stay. She left our home immaculate and well cared for. She is truly a winning pet sitter in our eyes! We hope she can come again sometime.
Martin was a very conscientious and thoughtful house sitter who took excellent care of our pets and our home. He was reliable, self-sufficient, and a very good communicator. He clearly enjoys and cares for animals, and our house was spotless when we returned. We recommend him wholeheartedly!
We were so happy to have Kyle as our house sitter for two weeks. Besides taking great care of our pets and our house, he was very accommodating. We were always able to get in touch with him if we needed to, and he agreed to take on some extra plant watering’s when the weather made a sudden change. As a bonus, he is very likable and communicative. We would definitely have him come again.
I have had 4 pet sitters this year so far. And Liz was the best! She was wonderful with cats. She has an easy going manner and is very comfortable to be around. Very smart and she is a great communicator. She followed all directions and left the house spotless. I highly, highly, highly recommend her! I would have her again anytime!
Toby and we were SO lucky to have Tom be our home and pet sitter for our Thanksgiving Holiday trip! From the very beginning Tom was responsive and communicative. He was even able to arrange a "meet and greet" with us and Toby before beginning his stay. While here Tom took great care of our home, and, most importantly, provided wonderful care of Toby! When we got home everything was in perfect order and we could tell that even though Toby was happy to see us he was going to miss Tom. I would be thrilled if we could have Tom as our zeewoi again. You will be lucky if he can do the same for you. :)
Mikala & Jake were great house & pet sitters for us!! Our dog and two cats absolutely adored them, and we came back to a very clean home with happy animals :) They were very reliable and fast communicators. They even had to deal with our power going out while we were away, and they handled it well. It eased our minds to know our animals and house were in such great care while we were away and would have them sit for us anytime!
Farhan is a fantastic house sitter! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a down-to-earth, kind, and caring pet sitter for their home. We have three small dogs (around 6 lbs) and he took excellent care of them. They can be a little nervous/ timid around new people, and more so around men at times, but the dogs didn't show any of that nervousness around Farhan! He was gentle and respectful of their space and they warmed up to him immediately. I got a wonderful text the first morning that I was away that they cuddled up with him at night - showing how quickly they adjusted to him as their caretaker. I was able to meet Farhan in person before I left on my trip and I was able to have a wonderful conversation with an ambitious explorer. He is a delightful person. Upon my homecoming the house was very clean and the dogs were happy and relaxed. I can't ask for anything more! Thank you Farhan for taking such wonderful care of our three dogs and our home.

Steve and Eric came over for a meet and greet to make sure everyone liked each other. We instantly felt comfortable with these two and how they immediately felt comfortable with our 2 dogs. We have 1 that is not easy to gain trust, but did with these two. Dogs have an instinct for food people. They came when we agreed, spent extra time with our little ones and even brought our package deliveries inside. They sent us daily reports and pictures of how things were going. Could not be happier with their care. Total professionals who we will ask to come time and time again to care for our pets care! Highly recommend!! Thank you Curly Tail - Steve and Eric!
We used Curley Tail Care Company to stay out our house with our dog and cats. Steve was an absolute pleasure to work with. He came to our house a couple of times to get to know our babies as well as get a good idea of their routines and unique personalities. Our cats are super afraid of new people and we were concerned that they would not come out with someone new. Steve helped ease our concerns with updates and photos of the cats coming out and we greatly appreciated the communication while we were away. Our dog absolutely loved him! He has a great love for animals and knowing that he was able to give our animals the time needed was comforting. It's hard to find someone who you can trust to stay in your home and care for your pets but would highly recommend Steve and his company.
I highly recommend Steve & Eric with Curly Tail Care. Steve came and stayed at our house with our 2 dogs. He was absolutely amazing with them. He sent me morning pictures of our cocker spaniel (who usually takes quite awhile to warm up to someone) getting his morning belly rub. They are so professional and love animals so much. We were so thrilled to find someone that let us feel at ease while we were on vacation. Our pups are our children so to find someone like Steve, where you can go away and not worry at all about them being taken care of is a true blessing.
I was in need of a fur sitter and I decided to post for recommendations and Wow I was overwhelmed with so many neighbors recommended “Curly Tail”. I send them a text message and Steve the owner contacted me the same day. We had a meet and greet with Steve and Angela who was assigned to watch my fur babies. I am very pleased with their service, Steve is great and Angela is fabulous, she did an amazing job. Highly recommend Curly Tail.
Curly Tail Care took extraordinary care of our dog when we went away for a few days. We received check-in photos of her activities and how she spent her time, usually multiple times a day. It was our first time leaving her after rescuing her 6 months earlier so we were nervous about how she would react, but she was happy and comfortable with her companion! We know we can count on Curly Tail to provide her with the best loving care, and us peace of mind, when we go away again!
We were recommended to use Curly Tail by another pet sitter and they did an excellent job staying with our three dogs while we were away. We received great pictures and could tell that our pups were quite happy. When we returned the house was as we left it and the dogs were obviously well taken care of. Thank you for allowing our family to have a relaxing time away without worrying about our furry family members!
Steve was awesome, one of our Boston Terrier rescues had been abused before we took him in and he can be very difficult with people he does not know. Steve came over several times before our trip and got to know Buddy. This was critical in getting Buddy to trust Steve, by the end of our trip Buddy and Rosie were sitting on Steve's lap and giving him kisses. Steve stayed on our home and took great care of our pups, we will utilize Curly Tail whenever we travel without the pups.
Steve and Eric are wonderful people with a real heart for dogs. Our senior dog trusted them immediately, making himself right at home in their home. We felt totally comfortable leaving him with them for the weekend. We loved getting the daily reports and pics, showing how happy he was! They are our go-to for pet-sitting from here on out.
We are so lucky to have found Steve n Eric (curly tail care company) It’s not easy trusting our pets with just anyone, Our first Meet n Greet turned out wonderful both Steve n Eric were top notch’s for us and our pups…Our pets adore them both and they treat them like family ❤️❤️❤️ Again We are very lucky to have found Curly Tail… I don’t know what we would do without Steve and Eric! Thank you for making us feel at ease when going away ❤️❤️❤️
Fantastic Pet Sitting! I recently used Curly Tail Care for my kitty Charlotte’s care, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. Curly Tail’s dedication and professionalism were outstanding throughout. Communication was prompt and clear. Curly Tail Care kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which really eased my mind while I was away missing my furry baby. It was evident that Curly Tail genuinely cared for my cat. From adhering to feeding schedules to ensuring plenty of playtime, every aspect of my kitty’s well-being was considered. My cat seemed completely at ease when I came back from vacation as she is not your typical cat and hates to be alone. I am grateful of the company and attention given to Charlotte while I was away. The environment was safe and welcoming, and I appreciated the attention to detail in following any specific instructions or routines. Curly Tail Care was accommodating with feeding and litter fill times, which made the whole experience stress-free for me. I highly recommend Curly Tail Care to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet sitting services. I will definitely be using them again in the future!
I have used Pawsitive Ruff House Pet Sitting exclusively for nearly 5 years since we moved to Florida. When we travel I don't trust anyone but Sibahan and her team to come care for our dogs and now cats in our home. Our babies love her and she has earned our trust...she takes very good care of our babies and our home.
Sibahan Sanders loves every pup that is in her care. My two love going to pawsitive ruff house. Black and white big bou and merle pup in photos playing with frens!
I feel so confident with leaving my baby girls in their hands. They send you pictures of how your puppies are doing. They have a wonderful home, they have even done emergency situation is with us and helped me out of so many issues. The picture I have attached is at her house they always feel safe and they love them
If your looking for a pet sitter look no further. These guys are amazing. They truly treat your pets like their own. No cages, their houses are just Like your pet being at home. They send you updates and pictures. Lots of playtime and love while under their care.
I would like to recommend Pawsitive Ruff House Pet Sitting LLC as being the pinnacle of service for pet boarding. Sibahan Sanders always goes out of her way to make your furry friend happy and safe. We have had our Maggie out to her for 2 years now, and she just LOVES Sibahan! She has come to our aid in the worst possible circumstances, often with no forewarning. Finally, with our Maggie in her last days, she and her wonderful spouse Cory Sanders came over to say so long. It was touching, and SO compassionate. She really cares about our pets, so I highly recommend her for any boarding needs you may have. Five stars for sure. So give her a call this holiday season! 🥰😉
This is the best pet sitting service you could ever want for your furry family members (and even feathery or scaly ones too). They take your pets into their home as a part of their family while you are away and your pets enjoy themselves so much they forget you are gone! The drop in service is also convenient if there are times your pet will feel more comfortable in their own home, in their own bed, but still need someone to visit to feed them, take them out and help them not feel lonely. We love Shavahn and the personalized services her team provides, and I wouldn't think of hiring anyone else!
Kim and Siobhan are absolutely amazing. They truly treat our animals like family! We've trusted them for 2+ years, at their home and in ours. While away on vacation, we feel so safe and secure that they are watching our 2 cats and 4 dogs. They love our furrbabies and send pictures and updates. Kim even raced over immediately when we were out of town and had a household emergency that we needed checked in on. We are just so thankful to have these ladies in PC!!
This small business is better than the ones that are "chain" pet sitting company's. I have a Husky, I have left my dog with this company 3 or 4 times now and i have absolutely no complaints. There has not been one time that i have not been able to drop my baby off they always make room. AMAZING communication all day and night if need be to check on the pup. Pictures in morning, play time, and night time to keep me updated. every time i get my pup back he is always smelling good and tired out from all the playing. From suiting their needs as in maybe my dog being spoiled and sleeping with me so he has to always be in the bed to bathing or even brushed at pick up. Not to mention you get all this great service and it doesn't break the bank!
So we moved to this area during summer 2020 and got their name off of Facebook recommendations. Sarah watched our two pets (dog and cat) since we had to move but our stuff had not arrived for our house yet and we were in a hotel. They were amazing. Sent pictures and we could stop and see them both. Our dog had other dogs to play with and he came home exhausted!!!! Fast forward six months. We have taken small trips and Sarah has watched our animals and stopped to check on the cat every time. They are affordable, loving to our animals and will come and pick up or drop off since our schedule is so crazy. Sarah has even taken our dog in to get bathed for us. She is amazing and 100% would recommend them! They have been great and I wouldn't go anywhere else. Better than a big boarder and takes care of your animal like their own. ♥️♥️
I hired Pawsitive Ruff House Petsitting, LLC over the Labor Day weekend to watch my pets, as they came highly recommended. Unfortunately, I was extremely disappointed to find that they expect the dogs to go 12 hours without being let out to potty. I find this to be abusive, as I personally can’t hold it for 12 hours. (Yes, I have cameras in the house that I actually reviewed since this was my first time using this Petsitting service.). Prior to leaving town, I had given the times that I needed Pawsitive Ruff House Petsitting, LLC to visit. I was texted the night before about moving my times and I had said no and explained why I needed those times. The owner of the company said ok. Upon speaking to the owner of the company, she informed me that if I can’t be flexible, then I need to board my dogs in the future. She explained that they were very busy since it was a holiday weekend. I can certainly understand this, however, she should have turned down the Petsitting job. I feel as though she said ok to satisfy me, but planned to do what they normally do and didn’t expect to get caught. I had also been told that each visit would be about 30 minutes. According to my camera, each visit was only 10 minutes. Again, I understand that it was a holiday weekend and they were very busy, however, don’t tell me that the visits will last 30 minutes each and then each of the 12 visits only last 10 minutes. I will not be using them again!
Highly recommend Emma and Xanadu Pet Care! She took fabulous care of my two Chi's, one with special needs. I wouldn't hesitate contacting her for future pet care.
Emma was great with our two older dogs. She sat with them while we enjoyed dinner and night out. Our 15 1/2 year old springer can get very anxious when we are away and Emma kept him calm and quiet. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her!
We absolutely loved Emma she was so great with our dog Sebastian!!!!!! He is a big dog and has lots of energy and she played with him and gave him lots of love for us!!!!!!!! This was the first time we left our puppy and she made the experience great she kept me updated on pictures and when he went potty and how much he ate!!!!!!!! We are so glad we found her and will always use her as our dog sitter!!!!!!!! She treated my baby like he was her own and that was so amazing to know he was taken care of when I was not around!!!!! I will refer her to everyone!!!!!!!! You will not be disappointed if you hire her!!!!!!!
Emma watched our dog for a week while we were away. We did not want to use a kennel again so we looked for an alternative. She followed the schedule we asked for and our dog was happy to go on walks with her. We were impressed with the updates and pictures provided. Highly satisfied 👍 …
Emma is great, she was responsive and I can tell my cats loved her, they were well behaved when we got home. She sent pictures of them so we could keep in touch. I will call each time I need her.
I found Xanadu pet care when I was new to the area. They have reasonable rates and genuinely love your pets! My dogs love Emma! And we plan on using Xanadu for more services in the future.
Did great job and exceeded my expectations at a very fair price. Would highly recommend to anyone who is very protective with their dogs. She will make you feel very good and comfortable with the care they are getting while you are away.
Amazing, my dog Winnie has never been happier when she gets to visit with Emma. She’s so nice and then I can relax too because I know Winnie is having a nice time and getting good attention. Highly recommend
Emma does a great job with your pets. She is very responsible, and communicates professionally. I highly recommend her services. She sends photos too!
Did an amazing job of taking care of my dogs. Made me feel she treated the dogs as if they were her own. Would strongly recommend Xanadu Pet Care!
Palm Coast Pet Sitters was a wonderful find. Kelly comes for a in-home (free) consultation. So comforting to meet Kelly, have her meet our dogs and discuss our needs. Very professional and friendly. Kelly assigned Terry as our Pet Sitter. What a match, our dogs didn't want her to leave when we returned, so cute! This was our first experience and we requested a long shift. I was a bit nervous. Kelly and Terry made us feel comfortable and they were available anytime. Terry sent us pictures and messages, that made me 😃. I loved it! My senior dog needed medication and Terry handled that plus all the cuddling he demands, 😆. The paperwork you fill out is detailed and shows that they care. We are looking forward to our next reservation!
Kelly is amazing. She has been helping out for 3 years and the animals absolutely love her. My Great Dane gets so excited every time she comes to take care of him and of course the cat is indifferent and just appreciates the kibble but the ferrets love the attention and play time with her. Thank you for all you do Kelly, you make our time away from home enjoyable knowing our fur babies are well taken care of. We appreciate you. ❤️
We are so happy and blessed to find palm coast pet sitters! Kelly and Jenny right from the start understood the needs of our family. We have three dogs, the one German shepherd needed a little extra time to get to know people. Over the past several months before our vacation we did drops in with me here, then with me not here and the steps worked great! Jenny took such good care of our babies, constantly giving me pictures and updates- communication was amazing! We are so lucky to have Jenny taking care of our crew and will be using for much more events! Highly recommended!!
I’m Just had another stress free vacation thanks to Kelly Winter of Palm Coast Pet Sitters! Can’t recommend her highly enough. She’s taken excellent care of my dog, Oliver and my house for several years now and is consistently beyond just reliable. Kelly does what she loves and it shows. I always get updates, pictures & quick response to any txts and come home to a happy dog who was looking for Kelly earlier this evening.
From the initial meet & greet at our house, to the meet & greet at Kelly's house, and throughout our dogs' stay, an emphatic 5 stars across the board! I can confidently recommend (already have to several friends and co-workers) PC Pet Sitters to anyone who requires their services. Reasonably priced, several options for care, simple and convenient. Clearly Kelly has a place in her heart for all pets & their owners. Craig, Palm Coast
Kelly and her team saved us! We already loved them, but this weekend, when our flights were cancelled out of NY, we had no options and Kelly and team were booked. But… by some miracle they were able to pull on some extra help, make some rearrangement and work things out. Kelly said “Do not worry about your pets! We will always do whatever we can to help. We’ve got them covered and they are both happy and healthy.” We had a changing of overnight guard at our home. She brought her pillow and blanket, and even offered to wash sheets. But… how are they with our dogs? Amazing! We moved from CT in April ‘21. We only use stay-in dog sitters for our German Shepherd (GSD) and prefer our Golden to go to home boarding. Palm Coast Pet Sitters offered this arrangement. Our GSD has health issues and is also particular about people. When she met Kelly for our initial consult/interview, Ava immediately decided she liked her. We were surprised, pleased and very comforted with how Kelly handled her with confidence and a calm demeanor. Her intake form is thorough, and she treated her exactly as we would. When Kelly wasn’t available for our trip this last weekend, she offered Jenny, and assured us we would be happy. We had an intro meeting to decide for ourselves and Jenny was great with our Ava! Very knowledgeable of the breed but also very experienced with many types of health issues, dogs of all temperaments and is very affectionate with her. She gets down on their level. Both Kelly and Jenny worked together to be sure Ava had overnight care with breakfast and morning play, plus midday, afternoon, dinner and bedtime care before our late arrival home. Sophie the golden got two extra nights in her play world. And Sophie being terrified of storms was able to curl up behind Kelly on the couch one afternoon after getting her calming chew and thunder shirt during a bad one. This is how she feels the most safe ♥️ I can’t begin to express how happy, and relieved we are to have Kelly (plus her family), and Jenny care so lovingly for our girls. They are organized, professional, provide detail invoices and payment options. They are highly responsive, and send us pics and video of our girls multiple times a day. They are THE BEST!!!! Pics: Sophie protected in a storm and enjoying the pool party. Ava so happy, and ridiculously silly, but obviously comfortable. If you have been a parent to a GSD…. You know what that means to us. ♥️🐾
Kelly and her team are amazing, I highly recommend them . I have a very skittish type of dog and diabetic on top of it that requires 2 insulin shots a day . And Kelly absolutely had no problem giving my Bandit his meds . When your out of town you get updates and pictures. You will never worry about your pets when in the hands of Palm coast Pet Sitting services!!!
Kelly and Jen did a fabulous job taking care of our three dogs and Amazon blue-front parrot. Thank you so much for the reliable and excellent care for our hairy and feathered family!!
My husband and I couldn’t be any happier with Janis. It is a blessing to be able to have someone now we can trust with our 2 babies in our home. She took such good care of Maisie and Lexi while we were away. They loved her. Its out first time using Palm Coast Pet Sitters and they were amazing. Its very hard to trust anyone with your spoiled babies but Janis went above and beyond, we love her. We can not say enough of how amazing this experience was for the babies and us. We highly recomend this 5 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Palm Coast Pet Sitters. Thanks again for all the love , and all the pics and videos and messages. They are really going to miss you Janis. I strongly recommend them and look foward to our next vacation since we are trully relieved to have found someone so trustworthy and accommodating. 10/10 recommend
I used palm coast pet sitting for about 4 days recently. We were in touch with terry every day, she cheerfully replied, how the dogs are doing , and pictures. We came home to 2 very happy doggos ( big doggos!) the house was tidy the pet bowls were clean and and if I text for any reason , my texts were answered promptly. Would give them more than five stars of that was an option. For sure, we will use their services again.
Hannah was absolutely amazing! She came to my house to feed and let out my two dogs while I was out of town. She sent pictures and updates each time on how they were doing. This was the first time I have used them and I will be using them again!
The Ruff House South has been incredible to our little pup. We have had dog walkers before and coordination was hard, charging extra $, etc. this is not the case with Ruff House. They are extremely flexible and care about our little pup so much. We get updated pictures and texts everytime they walk with our dog. If anyone in the St. Augustine area needs a dog walker I highly recommend. Hannah and Donald, thank you for your help and keep up the good work.
Ruff House is absolutely the best for your fur babies!! They go above and beyond with care of your animals, spending quality time walking and playing with them along with awesome photo updates! Flexible times and days, great pricing for walks and respond quickly. We love them and so do our dogs! Don and Hannah are wonderful and we use them for overnight visits too. They take care of our dogs like they are their own and have used their services for years. Highly recommend to any one looking for trusted pet care services!!
We have used Ruff House for years, both for dog walking and stay-at-home care. They're 100% reliable and send us daily updates of our pups while we're at work or out of town. Most importantly, they take the time to get to know our dogs, understand their routines, and to make sure they're both safe and comfortable. We cannot recommend them enough!
The Absolute BEST Dog Care in North Florida Hands Down! Whether you live in St. Augustine or the greater Jacksonville area, Ruff House is the Go-To place for your pets. Donald and Hannah took the best care of our two rescues, Candy and Cookie who initially were not well socialized. Each day we received photos of our little Maltese walking, sitting and yes laying down with the Big Dogs! The girls came home happy and tired. Do yourself a favor and book a stay for your furry friend, you won't regret it :)
I've taken my dog to several different places for daycare, and our experience with Donald and Hannah was definitely the best! The home atmosphere is great, my (very shy) dog Reese liked them right away, and she's even allowed on the couch at naptimes! Donald and Hannah also sent me pictures and video of Reese playing with the other dogs. Cannot recommend enough!
This is hands down the best daycare for dogs you could possibly imagine. Nobody could come close to Hanna and Donald, as a team they will have your "loyal / best friend" hesitating to leave at the end of the day, and you would think you have a professional photographer doing a photo shoot of your pal with the frequent pics you receive through-out the day. Thanks Hanna and Donald, you guys are the best.
What a awesome place. Donald and Hannah are true animal lovers. Ruff House South is a gorgeous place. We never had to worry if our dogs were safe and we felt great knowing they were having such blast. Thanks Ruff House South!
We used The Ruff House for our beloved dog Eddie, when we and they were in JAX. We have since moved to Sarasota and cannot find anything even close to this kind of personalized and family environment type care. I am considering driving 4 hours to leave him with Hannah and Donald when we go to Europe next year. They are the best!
Love ruff house! Hannah and Donald are amazing dog lovers. I wouldn't want anyone else caring for my little pup. Thank you guys so much for letting me travel while knowing my Roxie is in great hands!
My crew can be a real handful and finding a pet sitter is not an easy task. I am so happy I was able to get in with Tricia. She is an experienced dog handler and is super reliable. She genuinely cares about our pets. She has always made time for us on short notice. The dogs get super excited when we tell them she's coming. So glad we called Happy Paws!! 😊
Tricia has watched our fur babies several times and each time we know when we leave them that they are in very loving and capable hands. She treats the pups like they are her babies, she makes sure that they are well taken care of and loved with attention, and treats lol. When we get them back from her, you can tell they miss her, she is someone you know when she watches your babies that they are in great hands. She is passionate about animals and that is a special quality to have. When you go on vacation you know your babies are on a vacation as well and don't have to worry because Happy paws pet sitting will do a great job.
She took care of my 3 fur babies. All 3 are VERY hyper and 1 of my boys is very vocal. Right from the first they met her they LOVED HER. THE best is she sent pictures while she was there assuring me of their care. My dogs are my babies and it felt great to find someone who treats them as such.
So happy to have found Pampered Dog Boarding. I have two very pampered Caviliers and have avoided traveling since my usual sitter moved out of town. I didn't want to leave my girls at a place where they would spend most of their time caged. Barbara keeps the dogs in her home and treats them as her own. She sends daily videos and pictures and is always quick to respond when I text. I will absolutely use Pampered Dog in the future and will recommend to all my friends with small dogs.
I highly recommend Barbara and her husband Don at Pampered Dog Sitting, and I am SO glad I found them. I am very picky when it comes to my Maltipoo. I interviewed Barbara on the phone, and then visited her home before deciding to give her a try. Her home and yard are spotless-perfectly clean. And the entire environment is geared towards the dogs' safety and comfort. She only takes small dogs and only a few at a time. Bandit is clearly well cared for there and always goes to Barbara (or Don) happily when I drop him off. I have used Pampered Pet for daytime dog sitting, weekends, and I've also left Bandit with them for 10 days on 2 occasions. Very happy with their professional service and I know they love Bandit. Highly recommend.
Traveling without my dog is extremely difficult for me until I met Pampered Dog Sitting and Barbara. My experience with her and the love and compassion she has for dogs is incredible. I highly recommend her and the wonderful care she exhibits.
I don’t like to leave bad reviews. But considering the circumstances, I feel I have no choice. I called her and asked if she had any availability for my Chihuahua and she said she did. I gave her all my information and she said just be there before she closes at 5. My husband and I arrived to her house where she boards a few hours later and got no answer at the door. I called her on my cell while still standing at the door and she answered. I told her who I was and that we spoke that morning with an understanding that I would be able to bring my dog for boarding. She told me that she did not remember speaking with me and did not have me on her records, but I know this was not correct because I had saved her number and her address so I would be able to get there later that day. The only explanation I have for this is that I am African-American and when she saw me on her RING camera she decided to change her mind about keeping my dog. I have never had an experience like this before and it really upset me. She was not rude in anyway but she was dishonest about saying she had not spoken with me when she had. I drove 30 minutes to her destination for nothing which was a great inconvenience for me. I cannot speak on her care of the animals, I’m sure it is great that’s why I chose her to watch my baby, but as for denying speaking with me on the phone after she saw who I was, I will let you make your own judgment call on that. Thank you
My Yorkie Poo is very satisfied with his dog sitting experience. I can tell by how happy he is when we drop him off with Barbara. As for my wife and I, we are also happy because we feel very secure knowing Oakie will be well cared for in a clean professional environment. 5 stars says it all.
It is obvious Barbara loves dogs...and they are truely PAMPERED! I knew they were in good hands as soon as I walked into her house. Barbara really knows dogs :) I will be returning to PDS and going on more trips now that I am comfortable with my dogs' care.
This was my puppy's first time away from us at all. She spent the night with Barbara and came home a very happy doggie. She got all the TLC she needed. Thank you Barbara for the loving care you gave my baby.
I take my Maltese here to Barbara. She's wonderful with her. Her home is immaculate, she takes care of Bella as if she's her own and her rates are more than reasonable. Thanks Barbara.
Your favorite love one will be treasured and well being taken care. I’ve personally seen the owner walk and pamper her pets regularly. I’m always very impressed! You should feel comfortable working with such a caring pet lover.
I used this company to care for my pet for the first time and would recommend it to anyone who needs care for their fur baby. Definitely would use her again. Thanks again Barbara!
We have such a timid and nervous dog (Teagen). Very happy that they made her feel so comfortable for the time she has stayed! Even better being able to watch her on the live cameras and they did such a fantastic job giving her personal attention! Love love love it! Thank you!
Our 2 corgis spent the weekend and seemed to love their stay and the staff! Everyone is professional and friendly and they played a lot with the dogs. It’s very clean, spacious and well ventilated. We’ll definitely bring them back in the future!
My dog, Lucy, can be very anxious and loud around other dogs. So much so, it frightens our house sitter so we have to board her when we go out of town. She used to fear car rides and now gets excited to "get dressed" and "go see miss Maggie" which brings me to saying: This location is filled with the sweetest, most accommodating, empathetic staff we have ever encountered. I am able to actually relax on vacation not worrying about my misunderstood loud silly girl getting ignored or verbally abused because someone is frightened of her. She is excited to go and she comes home happy and relaxed. She doesn't smell when she leaves or come home and drink gallons of water then pass out, like she has at other places. This lets me know she's not stressed, is happy and getting her needs met. I am so incredibly grateful to have found this place. Thank you so much Maggie for loving on our girl and to everyone here behind the scenes who has helped care for Lucy. You guys are top notch.
We boarded our 2 year old cattle dog for a week and felt she was well taken care of and looked after. This was the first time she’s ever been boarded. She’s always stayed with family, so we loved getting to see her on the webcam. Every staff member we encountered was friendly. They all seem happy and to really care about the dogs’ well-being. Being a high energy, active breed, we felt she was able to get enough stimulation and playtime. We added doggie ice cream every other day. Of course, our pup was extremely excited to see us on pickup. She seems happy, not anxious, no signs of illness, injury or stress, and is her normal goofy self. We would definitely board her here again. I would recommend Pet Paradise St. Augustine to anyone looking for a day camp or boarding facility.
We left our 2 pups here for 10 days. It's really hard to leave them for that long, but the staff there make it so fun and such a loving environment for the pups, we didn't have to worry about our fur babies! When we picked them up, they were clean, fluffed and perky! Ready to go home and snuggle! Thanks guys!💖 …
It’s hard leaving your pet anywhere, but of course it’s not always practical to take them on trips with you. I was so grateful for the special offer Pet Paradise was offering for a free day at the camp to meet the staff. My dog was well taken care of, and I loved the cameras they have set up around the establishment to check in on your pets. We look forward to boarding him here for our next trip and feel at peace knowing he’ll be somewhere safe where he can have fun too. I’d say the only hard part is knowing that since he’s not fixed yet (at the suggestion of our vet to wait for the 2 year mark), he isn’t allowed to play with other dogs, can only have 1-on-1 time, and it costs more money. It’s still worth it to us, just makes us a little sad, knowing it’ll be like this for 1.5 more years any time he has to be boarded.
Oh my gosh! We LOVE pet paradise. We brought our puppy who’s just shy of 3 months, so naturally (we were a bit nervous to drop him off and go)..however the girls at the front desk were so sweet and attentive, I immediately knew he would be in great hands! When we picked him up he was happy, and so excited to go back the following day. 10 out of 10 , definitely will be recommending!
BORDETELLA and MORE! I boarded my dog, Rocco, here 3 times in the last 4 months, usually 11-15 days each time. He was completely vaxxed prior to his 1st stay & has NEVER bit/attacked another dog or human. They would NOT honor the remaining 800+ reward points I had accumulated for all 3 stays. Total cost: $1733! Rocco was diagnosed with Bordetella, AKA Kennel Cough, by my vet' the next day. This was an additional $149.25 for the antibiotics & services. It was during a 15 day stay, and I still wonder how long he had to suffer... I was not offered any compensation, though I requested it after the 3rd stay. They told me it was "the season" for this disease (In July???). My dog, I was told, was separated from the other dogs because of his breed (Staffy/Pitbull Terrier). I never ONCE saw him on the live cams that they provide online. They gave him a white collar with the word "CAUTION" written on the front, yet his "Pawgress Report" stated that he was "Shy, Relaxing & Exploring", cleaned his bowl and is welcome back any time. Each time, I brought toys for him to play with, some did not return. Twice, he did NOT get to play with them, since they came back brand new and squeaking. On the 3rd stay, I asked if they let him play with the toys and was told that he "had so much fun playing every day with them". I picked up one toy, held it up and squeaked it. Rocco usually disables the squeak in less than 4 minutes. I don't like being lied to... The manager informed me that the "Next time it happens again, please notify them" so that they can disinfect the immediate area for Bordetella. NEXT TIME?!? There will be no "next time", I can assure you! -Sonny Zito ( And now, I can expect the same copy/paste, banal and rhetorical reply from them. How they strive to insure customer satisfaction, meeting or beating expectations and possibly a lame apology.)
Let me start by saying this incident happened a couple of years ago… September 2022. I didn’t say anything at the time because I was sooo angry about it, I couldn’t find the right words, and then as time went on, I felt it was too late to post about it. I am making this post now because I tried to take my dog to a daycare where we live now, and she is TERRIFIED- almost 2 years later. She used to love going to PP, and I used to love it too! Until the day we didn’t. I was curious if other people had the same experience we did, and reading PP’s responses to many posts, I am again pissed about this and now wish to share our experience… I dropped my pup (50lb pit mix) off for a full day of day care. I had no worries leaving her there, and she was always happy to go! The last day we were there, they bring her out and she’s moving a little slow. Not entirely unusual, it was a hotter day and she was there all day so I figured she was just tired. They said “she was great” and quickly walked away. I figured they were busy so we left. We got home and she wouldn’t jump out of the car…thought maybe she was tired? Bring her in the house, and she just stood by the door, wouldn’t move. I picked her and carried her up the stairs, when I set her down, she let out the loudest yelp I’ve ever heard out of her… They returned my dog to me with ALL of her paw pads completely raw, a few still had the top layer, but those were hanging by a thread. I called them and they said “yeah, that sometimes happens with high energy dogs with the wet turf.” (If this is something you’re aware of, maybe take better precautions to prevent it?) I can understand why it happens, but I don’t understand how they let it happen.… this is not something that happens in an instant, it takes time. She was suffering…with how she was walking and acting, there is no way she finished her day of playing and they should have checked on her and notified me of her injuries. The daycare employees did not notify me, and acted as if they knew of it and avoided that confrontation. Obviously, my dog needed vet care… sedation, debridement, and follow up wound care totaling over $700… I called them saying this isn’t right, it’s negligent in my opinion. They claimed their lawyers say it’s not negligence and they are not liable. They “made it right” by refunding me for that day, and giving me a $200 PP credit (as if I would ever bring her there again). So, when I read on posts that they provide a “safe” environment and the care of your pet is their priority…that may be the case for most, but not us. I hope nobody had/will have the same experience we did, but it is worth putting out there how PP deals with these situations. Like I said, almost two years later, and my dog still remembers what her last day of doggie day care was like…
We took advantage of the "1 free night" for first time boarders. Our dog loved it so much he dragged us in, tail wagging, for his second boarding visit.
Anastasia Island Pet Sitting and Home Watch is top notch and they have definitely made a life-time customer of us! We never left our baby Rocco before and were a little nervous about leaving him. But the team was so caring and friendly and easy to work with, that our minds were at ease the entire time we were away. They truly took care of Rocco as their own! If you’re looking for a service that’s like having family watch over your pets or home, Anastasia Island Pet Sitting and Home Watch is who you should call.
The best pet sitter anyone could ask for! This was the first time my new cat had a pet sitter. Michelle was extremely nice, caring and dependable! With each visit Michelle texted me and sent pictures of my cat. It was so reassuring to know that he was receiving special, loving care while I was away.
I am so happy I found Anastasia Island Pet Sitting. My dog has very high anxiety when I leave and typically will not eat or sleep. I was comforted by the way they treated my dog like she was part of their family. I received texts with pictures of my dog eating and playing in the back yard!!! So happy!!! Will be calling them again for my next vacation!
Thank you so much for taking care of Beau while we were away! Our plans were "fluid" up until the last minute and I didn't want to put our anxious pup in a public doggy day care. I was so happy you were available to watch over him! It really helped reduce my worries while traveling out of town, knowing that he was in capable, loving hands. With so much uncertainty these days, it was great knowing Beau was in good care!
My dogs are extremely shy and warm up to very few people. Both of them always run into day care and love all of the staff. For their first boarding experience, one of them grabbed their leash and walked herself in. I appreciate the time and care they put into the care. Dumplin and Grits love pet paradise, and the staff of pet paradise always show that they love them!
Always a good experience for my dog. Almost 5 years since we started with the Paradise for Pets.
I only stopped by for a tour and to get information. The staff I encountered were great and informative. They are very transparent with pricing too. The facility seems great. I didn't like that the boarding rooms shared a space with grooming. Although, the grooming area has its own door, it really, really stinks. I have not tried any services yet UPDATE:12/24 I did use their boarding services for 6 days. It was my very first time boarding my 2 boys and from the moment of dropping them off the staff did amazing at comforting, explaining, taking their time and making the whole transition as smooth as possible for all of us. They communicated very well during the stay, did not hold back and information such as not eating the first couple days and/or them having diarrhea ect.(which I knew would occurr due to their separation anxiety and it being their first time beinf with strangers) So there were no surprises when I picked them up regarding their stay and the price-they are very transparent and no hidden fees. I am a very happy, happy customer. My boys appeared just as healthy as drop off and no new or concerning behaviors. They did have kennel cough but I understand, that's to be expected. I will be utilizing their services again and will be adding in day camp. I DO RECCOMMEND Pet Paradise-Palm Coast!
We drop our little dog off for overnight stays. The price is great and she gets to play with other dogs her size which she loves. She really loves this place and is always happy when we drop her off and when we pick her up.
We boarded our dog for 13 nights in September and we appreciated of the staff named Ariel who called us while we were in Portugal to report that our pet had bouts of diarrhea which can be related to a separation anxiety. However we were not happy when we got back our pet with hardened stools on her buttocks and hair and hair was unkept. They could have just placed the hair tie before sending the dog back to us (never mind the combing) but the hygiene was so poor. The resort manager named Sheryl said “your dog is biting”. Now, if that was the case, how come they were able to clean her when she had diarrhea of 2 days. She is nippy but she does not bite. Why can’t 2 people assist her during cleaning her buttocks. It takes at least 5 minutes to do this. This thing happened twice already in that facility but we never said anything on the first offense. Pet Paradise mission states “they have compassionate and dog lover staff” but our pet was unattended . $52.00/day for very unsatisfactory service. If they can’t attend to hundreds of dogs they have, they must either hire more staff, or decrease the number of pets they admit or all staff need to have “inservice on how to care for pets efficiently “ or they may close their business. Very negligent and irresponsible.
Our young mini dachshund Obi, loves it! His most recent visit was for all day daycare. Obi is excited to go there and comes home tired and happy from all the playful exercise he enjoys so much.
My dogs are very shy and slow to warm up to people. It took a couple of months, but they race out of the car to greet the staff anytime they're dropped off. If my picky hounds love the staff, I do too.
We are very protective of our fur baby and Pet Paradise made sure she was comfortable in the play yard with other dogs. We loved how attentive the staff was with our pup.
It’s always hard for me to leave our dog when we go out of town. The staff at Pet Paradise make it a little easier. They give our pup lots of love, playtime, supervised interaction with other boarders and manage his diet like we do at home. The facility is clean, lots of outdoor space and they even have a pool. Our dog has always come home a healthy, happy boy!
fully vaccinated dog otherwise not exposed outside home became ill after boarding and one by one unboarded dogs caught the virus which hospitalized the last dog to catch it. I seriously doubt they clean properly. Theresa Andre RN
Chris was fabulous with my little Chloe! She took to him immediately when he came by for the initial visit. She has severe separation and storm anxiety so I was very concerned about leaving her. Chris came by three times a day, walked and fed her and spent time with her and put her thunder vest on when storms were coming. He provided me with reassuring updates on her condition during my trip. I was concerned that I might come home to a very upset little baby, didn't know how she would respond to my absence. But she was calm and happy to see me and was clearly made comfortable by Chris's presence. It could not have turned out better! I can't thank him enough. I highly recommend Chris and will confidently have him care for Chloe again for any future travel!
I have been using Chris for several years now for my three dogs. He is always dependable and reliable. He is very kind and relaxed as well as reasonably priced. Me and my dogs appreciate Chris! I highly recommend him for pet sitting in Palm Coast!
Chris is THE BEST!! We trust him 100% and recommend him completely. When we go away, we have peace of mind knowing our fur and feathered babies are getting the love and care from Chris, just like when we are home with them. He is a part of ours and their family. Anyone should feel secure in trusting Chris’ talent, attention to detail, care, and love with their pets. He is outstanding!! Our babies are looking so forward to the next time Chris will be visiting and taking care of them!!! 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🤗😘😊
Chris's dedication to caring for my pets has been unwavering over the past three years. It's not just about feeding and walking; he provides a level of love and attention that makes my fur babies feel right at home. My older dog, who requires medications, has benefited greatly from Chris's expertise and compassion. What truly sets Chris apart is his commitment to communication. He consistently sends me updates during his visits, which brings peace of mind while I'm away. Knowing that my pets are not just being looked after, but genuinely enjoyed in his company, is priceless. I cannot stress enough how highly I recommend Chris as a pet sitter. His reliability, attention to detail, and the genuine bond he forms with animals make him an exceptional choice for anyone who treasures their pets like family. Thanks to Chris, I can travel with confidence, knowing my pets are in the best hands possible.
Chris is great with our 3 dogs and 2 cats. He's always on time and gives us a report on our pups everyday. He's very attentive and a great communicator. He's spent the night while we were out of town. We are so happy with bis services. Truly an animal caring person. We would definitely recommend Chris!
We have had Chris as our cat sitter for over 2 years. He is wonderful with our temperamental kitty cat. Always reliable and responsive with good updates of visits. We have recommended him to several of our friends and family.
I give Chris 5 stars because he is Reliable, trustworthy,and wonderful with my animals. I have 2 dogs and a cat: a Cane Corso ( that can be bossy ) a Mix Breed from the shelter.( She's skittish),and A cat,(who usually likes to be left alone). He managed on the first visit to win over all three of my "kids".
Our family has been using Chris at home care house & pet sitters since 2004, to care for 4 of our dogs! Not only when we travel but he has assisted us after surgery while we were recovering but couldn’t take a puppy out. And now daily while we work. He is great with our babies, he sends me updates so I know he visited and cleans up after them. I have referred him to several friends who use him as well.
Chris has been taking care of my 2 year old furbaby since she was 8 weeks old. Trustworthy friendly professional and usually can help me out with last minute changes in my schedule.
I’ve been using Chris to take of my Pug since I’ve had her, almost 14 years now. Hands down he is the best. Totally trust him to stay at my house when I need that too. I recently fell and have needed him daily. He is so dependable and Ladybug sits at the front door waiting for him to come!
