Judith was a great pet sitter! She was very communicative and asked questions if there was anything we left out in the home guide. She sent us photos and videos of our cats each day. She was also extremely clean. When we returned, it was like no one had even been there. She even washed the sheets and towels unprompted! We would definitely use Judith again as our Zeewoi!
Sweet Pea is a charming, talkative tortie that will steal your heart. Jason is very kind and personable, and made sure everything was well prepared for an easy stay. Would recommend for any sitter on this platform. Thanks so much!
Jim and Jody are exceptional hosts and amazing pet parents to Kaiya! I was welcomed me into their home 2 days early and invited to stay 8 days until my next sit in another state. I was amazed at and grateful for Jim and Jody’s thoughtfulness and kindness to me. Jody’s Hospital Chaplain experiences proved very helpful to my professional journey. Thank you Jody! I nudged my eating preference to indulge in one of Jim’s delicious master-chef cuisine! And I even attempted a few culinary feats in the top-notch kitchen of their beautiful home. Kaiya is a true hunter dog and leader with quite the personality! She also loves her independence but will sit at your feet under the table or on the chair across from you when she chooses! I enjoyed my time in this lush country setting yet close to restaurants and groceries. This is truly a sitter’s delight if you enjoy - 5 lush acres, deers, close proximity to groceries, varying restaurants, trails heads, etc!
We had a good time with Malva and Nenita. We took them to the dog groomer and I even had a haircut myself (in the same street). The dogs are not potty trained, but both very adorable and affectionate. Upstairs can get very hot in the summer but otherwise the house is pleasant, stylish, with convenient amenities and easy to clean.
we had a great time looking after Percy & Gizmo who are the most beautiful, gentle and playful feline companions. They were a little shy at first but soon got used to us and it was fun to watch them chasing each other in endless games of hide and seek. We love cats but these boys are extraordinary - happily rolling over to present their tummies for stroking and never once threatening to swipe you with their claws 😻😻 Sophie’s house is spacious and comfortable - set back from any main roads yet close enough to walk to the shops and Poole Quay. Sandbanks is a five minute drive away and we had some lovely walks there along the long stretches of sandy beach while admiring the open water swimmers braving the spring seas. Sophie is excellent at communication and super helpful with instructions for the care of the cats and the house. A generous and thoughtful host Sophie and her boys welcomed us on arrival and made us feel totally relaxed and at home in their home. Definitely a 5* sit with two amazing cats and kind, generous hosts - thanks again for inviting us and hope to return soon 🙏🙏
I really enjoyed the house sit, and I very much miss Savannah & Banjo. Please let me know if I can ever be of service again in the future. Meeting interesting people in interesting places is why I house sit. Warm Regards, Tom
We had such a lovely dog sit looking after Moose. He is the most gorgeous, gentle thing and he and our cocker spaniel Mika got on really well together. Melissa‘s home is lovely, and is in a great spot, a 25 minute walk down to the Barbican and just a few minutes walk to the nearest park. There’s a small Co-op and a slightly larger Tesco’s nearby, and we had a great Thai curry delivered one night. Moose travels well; he hopped straight into the back of the car and sat with me no problem, and was good as gold on the boat going over to Cornwall. He’s really well behaved and will happily sit at your feet while you’re having a pint or a coffee. The only thing to mention about Moose is that he can be reactive to some large dogs (not but all) so as long as you keep a firm grip and give him some reassurance, he is no problem. In fact he’s an absolute sweetheart, he is so placid and loving. Thank you for having us to stay Melissa, we hope to be able to petsit again for you and Moose if ever you need it 😊

I have been using Pawsitive Pet Care for over 1.5 years and only regret is not finding Amanda sooner. Finding someone that takes care of your pets as good as you do and that you can trust to have their well being a priority is something that she prides herself on. Whether it’s a walk, daycare or week long boarding, she provides updates and pictures daily, doesn’t hesitate to notify of any concerns, has made bland diet for stomach issues, and even went to my vet in an emergency. My boys especially enjoy going to playcare and love all of the toys and water options she has, and she does a great job of evaluating temperaments and activity level for all clients. Highly recommend!
I am so extremely thankful to have been referred to Amanda! I had an 8 day trip planned before I adopted my shelter pup and was so worried about him being boarded because he plays all day and snuggles all night. Amanda takes such good, loving care of all dogs in her care, as if they are her own. She sends lots of photos and updates and Oscar loves going over there. I was able to enjoy my trip without any concerns! I am going to continue Oscar having a play day on a weekly basis! I have told everyone I know how great she is! Highly recommend!
Amanda is a pleasure to work with and does an excellent job at keeping me updated on my sweet girl Betty. Betty stayed with Amanda while we went we went on vacation and it was wonderful to have piece of mind that she was safe and having fun. Amanda sends pictures and updates. We have also done home visits when it's been just a couple of nights away. We have been a customer for over a year and find Amanda excellent with her communication. Betty also loves Amanda's dog, Charlie.
Beautiful and well designed outdoor space for dogs to play. Inside just as dog friendly with toys and soft, cozy places for dogs to chill. Amanda has clearly devoted time and energy to this business and truly cares about pups that she has in her home. Our dog loves it there and we highly recommend Pawsitive Pet Care Services!
I have been using Amanda's services for a few years now and have always been extremely pleased with her kindness and care of my fur babies. It's such a good feeling to travel and know that the kids are being well taken care of. I also enjoy the photos she sends. Thank you Amanda!
I highly recommend using Pawsitive Pet Care for your pet. We were very happy with Amanda’s care of our dog. She updated us & sent pictures daily. We have an anxious rescue pet but she was bery relaxed aand happy with Amanda. Will be boarding our dog again in February!
Amanda is truly wonderful! Our boy Beau stayed with her while we were out of town this past weekend. I could tell from the photo and video updates I received throughout the weekend that he was loved and cared for and had the best time playing with the other pups she was caring for. I plan to have Beau join in on doggie day care from time to time knowing how much fun he had. I highly recommend Amanda and Pawsitive Pet Care.
Amanda at Pawsitive Pet Care is Amazing!! Our Molly loved Amanda! We were gone for 16 days and Amanda came over to our house every week day. She played with Molly, pottied Molly and sent us texts and pictures everyday in regards to Molly. We did not have to worry about Molly!! Thank you Amanda🩷!! Rich, Stacy and Molly Swan🐾🩷
Amanda is very approachable and loving towards my young dog. She’s also very flexible with scheduling. She has created the perfect home doggie daycare environment with an amazing fenced in backyard! I feel so lucky to have found her and her services, I only wish she was open more days…
Amanda is wonderful! On time, consistent, reliable, and most importantly wonderful with the dogs! The dogs love when she comes to walk them. Would highly recommend Pawsitive Petcare.
We have been using Golden Hour Pets regularly for a year and a half and they continue to exceed our every expectation. We travel frequently and they take all the worry out of leaving two kitties at home. They are 100% reliable, easy to communicate with, and clearly have a deep passion for animals. We love getting updates and photos while we are away, and most importantly coming home to happy kitties. Thanks to the team at Golden Hour for giving us total peace of mind when we are out of town!
Jess was available to take care of puppy, Lilly, since she was 8 weeks old. She took AMAZING care of her of her. She came to see Lilly 3 days a week, 3 times a day. Lilly loved her Jess! Unfortunately we had to move from the St Augustine area, but I will be forever grateful to have come across Jess and so will Lilly! ❤️❤️ I 1000% recommend hiring Jess because she is so reliable and trustworthy! ❤️
Jess is the Best!! I have 2 German Shepherds (one is my service dog) who I trust nearly no one with. But when I’m stuck at work, I can always count on her to be there for us! I highly recommend her to all my friends and if you’re looking for someone to take care of your babies when you can’t? Do not hesitate to use Golden Hour Pets!
Our dog loves his visits! As an owner, I love the communication and pictures with each visit!
Super-professional and did an amazing job taking care of my pets while I was gone. Really appreciated the pictures and daily check-ins!
We are So glad we met Jessica! She has been taking care of our “crew” whenever we travel for the last 6 months and we are able to go away with the peace of mind that our babies are being well taken care of! She has even dealt with some serious illnesses and again, we were totally confident that she was taking as good care as we would have. We HIGHLY recommend her!!!! 😻🐶
We boarded our pup there for 6 days. We were in a bind as our dog sitter was not available. The place was dirty and my first impression was that it was a “dump”. Maintenance was non-existent. The play yards did not have one blade of grass, just black dirt. She came home filthy. Most importantly, our dog requires eye drops 7 times a day. There is NO way the drops were given as instructed. We go through a tube of artificial tears every day and 1/2. We sent 3 tubes with her. She returned to us with 2 1/2 tubes. She also requires Cyclosporine and Tacrolimus drops which she never received as the bottle was just as full when we picked her up as when we dropped her off. We send our dog to an ophthalmologist in Jacksonville for eye care. This stay set her back to having green oozing goop we had been treating successfully. If you love your pup, do not use this place for care.
We have been taking our dog Gracie to Cindy's for about 5 years. We know that they take great care of her because she loves going there and she always gets very excited when we pull in yhe driveway. Cindy's is just good old fashioned love for your fur baby!
Dogs are well taken care of. They do not come home with flees or tics, and never dirty. This has been problem at other shelters in Palm coast where they lose the stuff your dog came with but not here. Love doing buisness with them and you and your pups will as well.
Very good experience for our border Collie puppy. They all love dogs and take good care of them
Great place my dog loves it there And everyone takes great care of him. My dog is 16 1/2 and just could not ask for more. Love Cindy and her staff
I have 2 beagles who stayed for 6 days and they seemed to have a great time! They were both happy, well fed, and perfectly clean when I picked them up! All the staff I spoke with was so kind and friendly. I definitely recommend them!!
Our Dog always looks forward to going to Miss Cindy’s.
The staff is always friendly and accommodating and my dog seems to like going there. They have a nice shaded outdoor area and climate controlled kennels.
Cheap, simple, clean, and my dogs seem very comfortable here. Most clients and dogs I see through drop offs seem comfortable with this place, save of course for the dogs that are so nervous anywhere without their owners. No grooming services but one time I arrived with my dogs after they had a potty accident in the car. Staff helped us so much, they brought out fresh leashes, helped lead the dogs out of the car without spreading more and gave them a hose down. Owners get to visit their dogs while boarded during business hours. Booking process even as a new client and/or dogs isn't as time consuming as some other boarding places but they still ask questions for health and comfort reasons and of course, you have to show some sort of proof of rabies vax. This is a great place.
We have tried a few places for boarding and our fur baby seems to have enjoyed the stay here the best.
We love Happy Hounds!!! It is soooo wonderful knowing we can go out of town and our dogs are being loved and cared for in our home where they are comfortable. Denise comes at established times and spends quality time with them. Thank you!!!
We just dropped our pet off for a week with Crystal. Prices were very reasonable considering other companies in town. She made us feel at home and comfortable watching our pet for so long. She has a large property and is very professional. She has the experience and loving attitude to take care of all your furry family members. I won't hesitate to come back next time we go back out of town. Thank you for the wonderful experience!
My dog loves to come here and see Auntie Crystal! The dogs are well taken care of and get to enjoy a home environment unlike typical daycare and boarding establishments with concrete kennels. Great opportunity to interact with other dogs in a stress free environment. The prices are phenomenal as well. KEEN highly recommends!
Crystal is an absolute rock star. Our dog can be a bit of a rough player so we were nervous to leave her for 4 nights with other dogs. Crystal spent a LOT of time with us helping to integrate Bailey and before we knew it, she was perfectly joined in with the other dogs. Crystal sent us updates and pictures and even washed baileys bed and blanket the morning that we picked her up. Crystal knows every trick in the book to keep the dogs happy and behaved (including leaving action movies on in the living room all evening when there was a thunderstorm so the dogs didn’t even notice the thunder) Tons of play and outside time and undivided care from a vet technician? All for a fantastic price? Sign me up every time!
I wish I could give 10 stars. Crystal has been a lifesaver for us throughout the years, managing our dogs “particular” personalities and keeping them happy and safe while we travel. She’s literally a dog whisperer and if your dog has struggled in boarding elsewhere I encourage you to reach out to her. Shes flexible and accommodating while treating your pets like one of her own. Meeka and Rufus thank you!!
Crystal watched our older kittens for a little over two months while we stayed with family waiting for our house to finish. She did such an amazing job! She kept us informed with pictures and videos, she made our kittens feel right at home! I will definitely reach out to her again when needed and highly recommend her :)
Me and my husband stopped in to see the sites of St. Augustine and needed somewhere for our dog to go. We called Crystal and she was more than willing to take our dog in for the night.. She was amazing and very friendly. Our dog was able to run free in her home and not be caged up. We picked him up and we knew he had been taken very good care of. If you ever visit St. Augustine and need a dog sitter for the day or night give her a call.... We highly recommend her to anyone. Thanks Crystal for loving our dog like your own. You r amazing!!
No surprise that Crystal was the exceptional person and the quality pet sitter that I loved to give my happy crew to! She really cares for each family and pet so well, and I felt that the best time that my pets had were when they visited her home for two weeks while I was out traveling the country! Loved her service and love for pets! Thank you Crystal! I am referring everyone to you! And Sugar and Twilight say hi too!
So pleased with the amount of care and service provided. Crystal was more than willing to help me in a pinch and take my dog for the day for a few hours. Shes super friendly and is very knowledgeable. She cares so much about what she does and I felt so comfortable leaving my baby with her. I would recommend her to every single person I know. Will definitely use her again when in the area.
My family went on vacation and we left our family dog with Crystal at Preferred Pet Care in FL. Our dog was in her care until she cancelled on us, less than half way through our vacation. Let's back up - A few days after dropping the dog off at Preferred Pet Care, my daughter tried to connect with Crystal. After a few days went by and my daughter still hadn't heard back from her, she decided to send an email and Facebook message as well. About an hour after sending those notes, my husband and I suggested she call Crystal using a different phone number, one Crystal wasn't familiar with... This resulted in Crystal picking up and subsequently, yelling at my daughter, telling her she wouldn't watch our family dog any more. Why did she decide to stop watching the dog? When my daughter dropped the dog off at their house, Crystal told my daughter that she could text her (Crystal) to ask for dog photos. Our daughter was grateful for this and texted Crystal for pictures of our dog, no more than once a day, if that. Crystal then stopped answering my daughter's texts and wouldn't pick up the phone. However, once my daughter was able to connect with her, Crystal yelled at my daughter, saying she was the most demanding customer she's had, because she asked for photos once a day (if that). Again, Crystal said she could ask for photos... Crystal was: - Not responsive. - She was rude. - She didn't care about the wellbeing of the dogs in her care (no dog toys were ever present. - We spent a day of our vacation searching for someone to pick-up & care-for our dog. - We were concerned for the safety of our dog.
Crystal is a very knowledgeable and patient person with the animals. I needed someone that could care for a young energetic pup that has not yet been been socialized. She was understanding and amazing. She got him right out there in the mix. I look forward to having her watch my little guy in the future. Im so happy to find her!
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. ♥️♥️
We used Pawsitive Ruff House Pet Sitting when we needed to travel up north for a week. They treated our two dogs with so much love and attention I was almost fearing they wouldn’t want to come back home. We received updates and pictures daily. They can also handle dogs with special needs with medications, feeding, etc. This is absolutely the best pet sitting service. We’ll definitely be using them again in the future.
HappiPaw is such an incredible company! When my wife and I took our honeymoon, they were there to help and support! Our dog Chell couldn’t have been happier, and Theresa couldn’t have been more thoughtful! Since then, HappiPaw has watched Chell a few more times, and unlike taking her to a kennel or the vet, which she dreads- she always whines in anticipation for the love and care she gets! As far as Chell is concerned, she’s just going to hang out with friends for a sleepover!
Char is an amazing pet sitter with wonderful children that play with my Ollie every time we go on vacation. Worth every penny 🐾🐶 …
