Pet Sitters in Plantation, FL

BE AWARE! At first, I LOVED taking my dog here! Staff is FABULOUS.. the facility beautiful , and my dog always enjoyed his daycare/boarding days! HOWEVER, he has contracted KENNEL COUGH for the 3rd time. .. the only places he has been are home, or doggie day care/ boarding a few times. ( yes, he is inoculated) I am sad to say, he will NOT be returning.

While I'm always satisfied with how they take care of my pets, the cost to board them has become outrageous. For 2 dogs to stay in the one suite for 6 days, the cost was nearly $1k. This does not include any activity time. Unless I paid extra, they would have spent the 6 days entirely within their cage.. I will be seeking alternatives in the future.

I absolutely love Bayside Pet Resort of North Port I can’t say enough about the staff. Everyone is extremely friendly and welcoming of me and my girl Bella. She is very well cared for and spoiled at doggy daycare. Thank you for taking such great care of my girl and tiring her out for me. Thanks-one happy Momma

Great boarding facility that offers every amenity you can think of and more. Our pup has always been super anxious and shy; the staff was very understanding and took great care of him during his stay and also when Maggie (she's fantastic!) groomed him before we picked him up. Highly recommend this gem for any and all pet needs!

I reached out to Bayside to help with my german shepherd girl who had severe separation anxiety. She has been going to day school twice a week with Aja and I have seen a tremendous change in her anxiety as well as behavior. I truly believe that all the people there love being with these pups and the pups know it. When we get there everyone greets my Mercy girl with a smile and most of the time a treat. She has mad such growth that she even passed her temperament test so she can play in the daycare, something previously that I thought might never happen. A heartfelt thank you to Aja and all the staff at Bayside for being so amazing with my sweet girl.

We boarded both our dogs for just a few nights in a shared suite. After getting home, we noticed Lucy’s belly, paws and pits were very irritated including welts and scabs. The pit welt was raw and did bleed. She does suffer from allergies but this was not the condition we dropped her off in. She was probably anxious and out of her element and this likely heightened the irritation and her biting and scratching BUT I question the lack of treatment. If the dogs were checked on properly this should have been noticed. The one-on-one playtime person that we paid extra for should have noticed. We also paid extra for the Care Club understanding that something like this would be treated to avoid the worsened condition and infection. But I guess if it’s not noticed it can’t be treated. At the VERY LEAST this should have been mentioned and brought to our attention at pick up – especially given the fact that even if no-one else noticed throughout the stay it would have been blatantly obvious to the groomer that was also paid to bath the dogs before pick up. There were no issues with our other dog. I did send an email a few days later after Lucy was responding well to the medication and asked that management be made aware to ensure closer attention is paid and that it does not happen in the future. I did not hear back until I requested acknowledgement of the email a week later. I decided to write the review as I am not confident after speaking to the very sweet front desk person that it was taken seriously. There was no communication from the general manager at all and it’s a month later. Hopefully this will help implement some changes to improve this aspect.

The resort facility is great. Our dog was there when we visited our children up North at Christmas. Darby came home after 10 days. She was well, bathed, and tired from her group play times. Although we paid for it, we never were able to see her on the suite monitor. It was a major disappointment! We brought it to the staff’s attention but they didn’t adjust our bill. We will be using the resort in North Port from now on.

The new Bayside Pet Resort - North Port is a wonderful addition to our community. It is a 5 star resort! Ricky not only loves his 4 legged friends but is equally happy to see each of the amazing staff. They are each true professionals and well trained.I am most impressed that the staff are ensuring that the dogs are having fun while keeping them safe. What fun to watch Ricky on the webcam. He comes home from daycare happy and understandably exhausted. Ricky's picture was taken on opening day. - He's just loving life at Bayside!!

We brought our dog for boarding for the first time and we are so pleased! All the staff is wonderful and our dog Cal had a great time! We will definitely be bringing him back again.

We have been bringing our dogs to Bayside for training and daycare and love everything about it!! The training with Tracey Lieske has been great as we have 2 very active golden retriever puppies. We have boarded our pups several times and are very happy with the care they receive. The staff is friendly and care about our dog’s. The new facility is beautiful and so convenient. Thank you Bayside!!!

I only used this place recently because my kennel was damaged in the storm. Though the people are nice, the place is not very clean. My dog wound up getting a very nasty skin infection on his tail from some bacteria he picked up there and, despite having all his vaccines, wound up with kennel cough! 300 dollars and a vet visit later I have sworn off going back.

My dog Blue is a walking advertisement for Bark Stars . He gets out of the car and pulls me in there. If anyone driving by sees him they know how excited he is to go there . The staff is phenomenal and Blue loves them and all the other dogs . He gets so excited just driving up to Bark Stars . Blue goes to a park on days he doesn’t go to Bark Stars. We go past Bark Stars. He knows the turn off to Bark Stars and when we make it he is so excited. While he loves the park he prefers Bark Stars . Great place!

My dog had never been to day care or boarded since coming out of a shelter. He loved coming to Bark Stars! And I loved seeing the Facebook pictures when I was at work. The staff was so friendly, and I always felt my dog was taken care of. If we didn’t move, we would still be coming regularly!

I have a very active pup. We were going away for a week. I needed my pup to be taken care of and not just walked 3 times a day. I picked Bark Stars because he would get to spend the day playing with other dogs during the day. When we were gone we saw pictures of him playing ball and hanging in the shade. When I picked him up we were told stories about how fun he was. I felt like my fur kid was in great hands all week. We will definitely be back for play dates.

The only concerns I had was my dog lost her voice over the two night stay, she was very thirsty when she got home,, and seems less active over last 2 days at home.

We love this place and our pups really enjoy going and making friends. My dogs have never been in this type of setting before. A family member or close friend has watched them, so we were unsure how they would adjust. Our dogs loved it so much I’m not sure they wanted to come home when we came to get them! Highly highly recommend!!

My dog loves going to Bark Stars. She enjoys playing with the other dogs, interacting with the staff, and going outside. The staff is very friendly and caring.. Baths and nail trim appointments can be made while my dog attends day care, making appointments convenient for my work schedule.

So I didn't even go in there today to put my dog up or anything. But I will say after talking with the assistant manager, I would have no problem leaving my dog there at all whatsoever. The people are kind and exactly the type of folks you want taking care of your animal. You can tell that the employees have a lot of passion for what they do. So yes when we're ready to go on vacation I know for a fact these guys will take care of my fur baby just as good as I do!

I’m in Venice for work and I’m unable to bring my Maltese to work with me. She has separation anxiety and I needed a place to leave her during the day. When I picked her up on the first day, she was happy to see me, but was not anxious from being away from me. She also slept all the way home, so I knew she got lots of activity during the day. The next day when I brought her in, she leapt out of my arms into JP’s. I was shocked because she does not do that at her other location. She loves it there and I’m so impressed by them. She’s always clean when I pick her up and in a happy and mood. I would recommend this place to anyone. My dog has been going Monday-Friday for 3 weeks now.

These are the sweetest people in the world! I came into town for a short term work assignment and struggled to figure out what to with my puppy. I started off bouncing her around friends houses and crating her for long periods of time but it became so overwhelming and stressful I seriously considered forfeiting the work and reluctantly decided to take a chance and look into daycares fully expecting it to be an emergency back up option only… But the staff here changed all of that! We go almost every day now and are going to be sad to leave. I am so grateful for the peace of mind during the day and their smiles and excitement when she arrives every morning make me that much more confident that this was the best decision we could have made!! I highly recommend this loving, fun environment!

We always have a great experience here! I trust the Wag Watchers pet sitter Rose with our dogs and I never worry when we leave them with her while we are away. The dogs are well taken care of and happy. I love the amount of play time they recieve as well as all love and care they get. We are repeat customers and will continue to use them.

I have not used their service yet I meet one of the pet sitters she's very nice and we will let you know after the service has been completed

We have 2 Frenchies, one of them is quite old and neither had ever stayed in a kennel before. We had to go out of town for 4 days in July and we were apprehensive about leaving them. We took them to Greencove Acres and we couldn't be happier. I called to check on them while we were away and Kevin called me right back to let me know that they were doing fine. When we picked the dogs up they were clean, they were in good spirits and we were happy that we had found a good kennel. The facility is well maintained, the care givers are very friendly and we highly recommend them.

I have used Kevin and Kelly's services at Greencove several times now, and would recommend them to anyone in the Venice area. They are polite, friendly, and return calls promptly when leaving a voicemail message. My two dogs aren't used to being in a kennel environment and are at ease here in the nice native Florida surroundings, and are let out to enjoy the sun several times a day with other dogs in separate pens. Their rates are affordable and the facility is clean and professional.

We have been boarding our dogs here since the 90’s. It’s just nice and clean and simple. The owners are so nice. My dogs think they’re going to camp. They come home safe and well cared for and happy. I highly recommend them.

Set back off the road under beautiful shade trees, Greencove Boarding Kennel is a great place for your dogs and cats. Friendly and knowledgeable staff treated our dog as if she was one of their own. We were very comfortable leaving our girl in their care.

Awesome experience here! Kennel is so clean and well organized. No worries leaving our pup with Kevin and Kelly!

Have used Greencove the last 4 years for my English Setters when we go on trips from 1 week to 3 weeks. They are excellent!! The dogs are kept in separate runs. And when they go outside for exercise they are also kept separate. They are feed exactly how you ask and each dog gets some attention each day. Dogs are always happy when you pick them up and don't seem to have any nerviousness at all.

We have been using Greencove for 10 years. They are the best.

Amazing experience, the owners genuinely care for the wellbeing of all the pets, and leave us with confidence when traveling. Thank you!

Kelly and Sister, Kendra we're Wonderful. My Dog Jax, followed them around everywhere and it was like my dog had a better Vacation than I did. I think they are Awesome.

There building is new clean and the stay on top of things. There very friendly there and you can rest easy that your fury friends will be in good hands. Highly recommend them.

We were very worried about our dog but thankfully found this place. Has a very homey atmosphere and let our dog have a stress free time. Extremely friendly people and very pleasant to talk to. We recommend this place for all who are looking for a place to have your dog stay. We are highly grateful that we found this place and surely will be coming back!

A wonderful place for a vacation for your dog! Alex & Valeriya

Staci provided exceptional care for my guinea pigs during the 15 min house visit which includes cleaning of the cage, refilling hay, and giving veggies. The in-person meet and greet allowed for a seamless introduction and demonstrated her genuine love for animals. What truly stood out was Staci's remarkable patience and professionalism when I forgot to leave my house key; she coordinated with the locksmith to access my home. I highly recommend Elly May's Critter Sitters for anyone with small pets that need care while you travel.

We had made plans to go out of town for several days and I had some very young chickens that I could not just leave unattended. Staci and Michelle came over and did a meet and greet. We went over what needed to be done which was quite a bit! They did everything to a “T”! They sent pictures and kept me up to date everyday which really kept my mind at ease knowing they were in great hands! Staci and Michelle are really fantastic and still watch our chickens!! A huge thank you to you both!

My husband and I had planned on going on our cruise and we originally had family staying over to watch our dog, but one night didn’t work out and we reached out to Critter Sitters and Staci is amazing! She came over and did a meet and greet with our stubborn Shiba Inu and I knew right away that she would be in good hands. We really appreciate her being able to take care of our baby and especially with such short notice! I highly recommend them!!

Staci really helped us out of a last minute bind we were in , she watched our dogs for 3 days, they loved her, she loved them, and thought enough of us to send us pics every morning when she came over to show they were happy and playing. We will definitely be using here company again, we can't say enough good things about her.

We just moved from Texas in December and this last week my father in law passed away and we had to go back to Texas for his funeral. We had no one to take care of our two fur babies (dogs) and Elly Mays Critter Sitters came to the rescue. She was absolutely amazing. I got pictures of my babies and was informed how things were going several times a day. At such an emotional and hard time she really put my heart and mind at ease to know that our dogs were so well taken care of. I can't say thank you enough. I will always use them to watch our dogs and I highly recommend them. She truly loves animals.

This is the second time I have used Elly Mays... I have four very different cats, two of them are what I call the typical scaredy cats, and Staci has gone above and beyond what the job called for. I was gone for almost a week, I got daily communications, photos, comments... she even searched and got pictures of the two elusive ones. The house was Immaculate when I returned... the cats were happy and just as I left them. If you love your animals and treat them like family, you certainly can trust them to Staci and Ellie Mays, because she treats them as family too... she's reasonably priced for the service that she gives... I would never go anywhere else and I suggest, if you need a sitter for your babies, you use this service... you will not be disappointed!! 😻😻😻😻

Staci and her coworkers have been watching my cats and home when we travel for the past 7 years. Reliable, caring and trustworthy. I highly recommend her to watch over your pets!

Staci and her cohort Linda are the absolute best. They love our kids like their own and go above and beyond, especially with our very geriatric girl that they cared for to the very end. True pet lover's, it's not just a job for them it's their passion.

I have been using Elly Mays for the past 8 years and I can say hands down that the owner is the absolute best person you want watching your pets. She goes above and beyond for every animal she is entrusted with, not to mention just about every animal that crosses her path. If you need a pet sitter, you won’t find anyone better than Elly Mays.

She has provided care for my cats for 6 years. Even through hurricanes. Conscientious, careful, and caring. The best ever.

We recently left our fur baby, Leo, with Walter & Jillian for 12 days while we left for our honeymoon. We’ve never left Leo for this long, let alone had him stay at someone else’s house. We were nervous of course. However, the first day we met Walter & Jillian we knew he would be in great care. Walter & Jillian treated Leo as their own. They took such great care for him. We had no worries on our trip and I genuinely believe Leo had the time of his life with them. They sent us photos throughout the stay and Leo had the biggest smile on his face. We are so happy that we found Fetch! Leo is so happy too. 😊

I cannot speak highly enough of Fetch! Pet Care of Sarasota and their exceptional cat sitter, Richard. We recently had to leave town for a week-long trip to Alabama and were fortunate enough to hire Richard through Fetch! to take care of our beloved fur baby, Gunner. From the moment Richard stepped into our home, we knew Gunner was in great hands. Richard's passion for animals was evident as he greeted Gunner with genuine warmth and affection. It was heartwarming to see how quickly Gunner took to him. Throughout our vacation, Richard went above and beyond to ensure Gunner's happiness and well-being. Richard not only tended to Gunner's basic needs but also made sure to engage him in playtime with an assortment of toys. It was evident that Richard's interactions with Gunner were filled with love and enthusiasm, which meant the world to us as devoted pet parents. In addition to his care for Gunner, Richard demonstrated an incredible level of thoughtfulness by vacuuming the house as needed. Returning from our trip to a clean and tidy home was an unexpected delight! Moreover, Richard even assisted with taking out the trash on trash day, which we found incredibly considerate. Fetch! Pet Care of Sarasota proved to be a reliable and professional company to work with. The ease of booking their services, coupled with the seamless communication throughout the process, was impressive. Richard's dedication, attention to detail, and sincere love for animals truly set him apart as an exceptional cat sitter. We can't thank him enough for the peace of mind he provided while we were away. Gunner seemed content and happy upon our return, and that's all we could have asked for. Without a doubt, we highly recommend Fetch! Pet Care of Sarasota and specifically Richard as a cat sitter to anyone in need of top-notch pet care services. They exceeded our expectations, and we will undoubtedly be reaching out to them for all our future pet care needs. Thank you, Richard, and Fetch! Pet Care, for giving us a worry-free vacation and taking such amazing care of Gunner. Your service deserves more than five stars!

Scheduling via the app was really convenient, and it was great to receive all the reassuring feedback, with the checklist and photos, after each home visit. The owner Walter was friendly and helpful and our cat sitter Lori was very attentive and conscientious in taking care of our senior kitty. We would confidently recommend Fetch! of Sarasota to anyone in the area looking for high-quality pet care!

After having some bad experiences with Rover, I decided to try Fetch Pet Care. They are everything Rover falls short of. Fetch Pet Care is reliable, with many options on how they can care for your dog, awesome online scheduling tool, flexible cancellations, very responsive customer service from all the sitters and the owner, easy payment and much more. They have all their bases covered and gained my full confidence from the first interaction! I was losing faith in finding good pet care in Sarasota, until I found Fetch!

Walter and his crew are amazing. Our dog has done overnights a few times and I often wonder if our pup is sad to see us come get him. There is great communication and care throughout the entire stay. So thankful for this great company, highly recommend this company and their services!

Our Bailee was so well taken care of and loved Walter & Jillian. She has anxiety when we have left her in the past to travel, but she adjusted very well. Walter kept us posted and sent pictures on how she was doing.

Our Chi needed a sitter so we could enjoy a visit to Cool Today Park. This was a new experience for her. Tammie came the night before and spent time getting to know her and allowing our sweet girl to feel more comfortable. We were able to enjoy our day knowing she was well cared for.Reasonable rates. great communication. Would definitely use again!"

Fetch! Pet Care Sarasota is awesome! Our cat sitter not only fed our cats and cleaned their litterbox, he also provided mental stimulation and physical exercise each day. Lots of photos were taken and really made us feel comfortable while we were away. I would HIGHLY reccomend!!!

I have used Fetch Pet Care for over 3 years and have never been disappointed with the care provided. Most recently, Tammie and Sara provided extended coverage sending daily updates and pictures of my feline “children “. They took care to ensure our home was clean of the kitty litter which the cats tend to track around. They provided additional services such as watering our plants and setting out the garbage as we left a few days before. They even asked if they should be getting the mail though we had stopped it. It’s a comfortable feeling knowing we can leave and our loved ones are being well taken care of.

My dogs both have special needs, one has tons of allergies and the other one has hip dysplasia and arthritis. Walt and Jillian are really good at following all the medicine and individualized feeding instructions both of my dogs have, and its a lot! Plus they have a very dog friendly home and they spoil my dogs with love while they are boarded there.

When finding a place to board your dog, it can often be a stressful endeavor. However, JJ’s dog yard daycare and boarding, helped alleviate much of that stress! Before we even got the opportunity to board our chocolate lab, Lily, we did a meet and greet. Not only did I think that this was a smart move so they could know for sure that Lily was someone they could take care of, but it also showed a deep understanding on how to take care of a dog with maximum efficiency and care. We were sent pictures and videos daily of Lily enjoying her time there and she looked like she was having a ball! (And sometimes taking one 🤣) While it made us miss our baby even more, it made us happy to see she was being treated as if she was part of the family. My usual complaint with dog boarding services is that during the night they are unattended and there’s not someone on site who can deal with an issue should it arise. Luckily, JJ’s had someone on-site the whole time which served to ease the worry of my girlfriend and I. Lily was boarded for seven days and came back a happy girl and that’s really all we can ask for. Thank you so much for an amazing experience, and you best believe I’ll be using their services in the future. I cannot recommend JJ’s enough for people who want that little bit of extra care for their furry family member.

Jennifer and Julian were awesome with our dogs. We got daily text and pictures/videos so I could see how they were doing. Our dogs loved it there. The prices were fair and I love that my dogs were like part of the family and not locked in a kennel all day like other places. I would highly recommend them, they work with your schedule and they get spoiled and come home happy. Can’t ask for much more than that. As an added bonus Jennifer makes super homemade healthy dog treats, my dogs very much enjoy them🐶

Jennifer and Julian provided the best possible experience for our Sophia the 12 days of her visit. It was also great for me because every day (some times even more) sent pix and a story from Sophia & how she spent her day. I new she was very happy there & was experiencing new activities. We will continue to use them when we travel & do some day care as well for her to enjoy interacting with other dogs and her “second family”.

Jennifer and Julian did an awesome job watching our 11month pup Ben. We were able to relax knowing that they treated him as one of their own. We even got daily texts with videos and pictures for us to see how well he was fitting in and how relaxed he was in their home. I will definitely recommend them and be using them again!

I cannot rave enough about Jennifer & Julian! They watched our two dogs back in December over the holidays at our home on a pretty short notice. They came twice a day for an hour each time to feed them and make sure they had water and even took them on walks! (We have a doggy door so the dogs always have access to the yard to go potty). And they always sent pictures or videos of how they were doing. It was my first time leaving the dogs in the hands of anyone other than family but my mind was at ease the whole time knowing they were in good hands!

Our dogs Roxy and Buddy stayed with Jennifer and Julian for an overnight. They were both very comfortable staying in Jennifer and Julian’s home. Buddy made himself soooooo at home that he practically adopted Jennifer as his own, and I think he would have happily stayed with her if we never came back! Ha! They both send messages and pictures to keep you updated on what your dogs are up to. The dogs have access to indoors and outdoors. It is a home family environment rather than a kennel. Very communicative, which I love - puts my mind at ease. Our dogs loved it and we will be back!

My pups were very happy at JJ’s. We had to board them elsewhere a few weeks prior unexpectedly and my lab wouldn’t come near me for days after. After being with Jen and Julian they were happy, tired and we had no issues with them being disgruntled lol. They treat them like their own.

We left our Labradoodle with JJ’s for the first time, and we have already booked her next stay! Jennifer sent notes and photos every single day! We felt so good about Gracie being there! We are VERY picky about who takes care of our “baby”, and JN’s surpassed our expectations!!! Will recommend them to everyone! She’s home and exhausted!!! We always say, a tired puppy is a good puppy! ❤️❤️

I have called and left messages for JJ's Dog Yard & Boarding so I may board my dog. I chose this company based off the 5 star reviews. However I am very disappointed that not one person has called me back to even let me know if they have the availability or not. Unfortunately I will have to take my business elsewhere. Are you even in business?

Jennifer and Julian helped me out tremendously when I was in a jam. They were very good to Olaf and Moxie. Their prices are fair and they kept to their word. If I had any thing to recommend for improvementit would be that they would open a full-time business for working business professionals. The daycare hours are not in line with people who work a 8am - 5pm shift.I will definitely recommend them and hire them again if my work hours can line up.
