    I am so glad I found Karina! She is the only place I will ever take my pug again. She sends photos and updates as often as you'd like. You can tell she really cares and is passionate about what she does. I can leave town and never worry, and my dog comes home happy and healthy. This is really the only place to go!

    Had to go out of town and didn't want to bother family members with this task, I went on yelp to see if there are any pet sitters and came across Karina Kares. She had no reviews but her website was there. I went to her website and saw reviews of her previous and repeat customers so I proceeded to contact her. Her rates were reasonable and she did exactly as I instructed her to do. Will visit my home 3 times a day and sent me pics at night of her visits with my pets. I trusted her with my home Keys which is a big deal. At first I was hesitant but after our initial meeting I felt she was trustworthy. And also the reviews on her facebook page helped in my decision. I would definitely use her services again!

    I love Karina!!! There has never been a time where she has let me down. My Dexter always has so much fun when he visits her and her family!! The times I've had to take him was last minute, and she has always made accommodations. Can't beat the price either. It's much better and more personal than taking your pup to a boarding shop. She updates me throughout the day with pictures and texts. I wouldn't trust anyone else to care for my puppy except her. Thank you Karina for treating Dexter like family!

    Karina and her family did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs while we were away on a trip! They were very friendly and caring, and sent us updates and pictures regularly so we would know how they were doing. They even got to make new doggie friends part of the time they were there. We would definitely leave our dogs with them if we needed to in the future and know they are in good hands!

    Karina was great in taking care of my pups. I left them for a week and was very sad to leave them behind, but Karina made it easier for me and reassured me that they will come around.. When I Picked up my pups they were happy and healthy looking which made me even more satisfied and happier that my pups were on good hands. Most definitely I will leave my pups again. She is great!!! Thank you Karina

    Karina took care of my fur babies for a week. I can't say enough about how well they were cared for. I received daily updates and photos. I know it's hard to leave our pets, but feel 100% confident that they are in great hands with Karina and her family.

Aylens home is impeccable. Her back yard was safe and completely enclosed. Aylen kept me updated and sent many pictures. The first night was difficult for the dogs because they missed us but Aylen contacted us immediately and was able to help the dogs with some suggestions from us. I also was impressed with the fact that Aylen's dog sitting also included her entire family. Her parents and even her niece helped in caring for them and making sure the dogs were happy and never left alone. I highly recommend Aylen as a pet sitter. She is a kind, responsible person who seems to understand dogs.

Having cared for my own dog for eight years, I understand the importance of love, attention, and comfort, especially when pets are adjusting to a new environment. Unlike traditional kennels, I offer a cozy, stress-free atmosphere where dogs receive personalized care, frequent walks, and plenty of playtime. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I can provide more one-on-one attention than larger facilities, ensuring each pet feels safe and comfortable. My rates are competitive without sacrificing quality, making it easier for pet owners to trust that their furry friends are in good hands. Most importantly, I genuinely love what I do—this isn’t just a job for me, but a meaningful way to care for and connect with animals.

    I spoke with Josie who is very personable and sweet. When I asked if I could come by to see her…read morefacilities she told me that she is not doing tours... She gave me a rate of $50.00 per kitty even though they were going to be boarded together. That's a $100.00 a day. I sent her all the medical information along with her form completed along with pictures of my kitties. She gave me three choices to pay for the deposit.... Cash, check or cashier's check was $400, Zelle was $404.00 and if you paid with a credit card higher due to the fees. I sent her an email to ask why there was an additional $4.00 for a Zelle payment when Zelle and most banks and credit unions do not charge fees. I sent out the email on Sunday and have not heard back. In the meantime I found another A Country Cat House located near Tampa that is owned by the brother, I asked about company policy regarding customers being able to come and visit the facility and was told they always allow customers to come and visit. Because most people like to see where they are boarding their babies. I told her what Josie's policy was and she said they do things a bit different. I then asked her about their pricing and was told that if you board two kitties with them, they place them in connecting kennels for $60.00 a day.... Not $60 for each cat, they charge for the kennel size.... I was astonished.. Needless to say they will have a new customer once we finally move up there, however I am going to pass on Josie's. Only because with all the research that I have done, when a business does not allow you to check their facilities out, that is a red flag, so that and her pricing is why I will be looking elsewhere. Josie did reach out to me and explained to me why she hadn't been able to get back to me. Josie also explained that she would allow me to come and check out her facilities and try to work with me on pricing. Her reviews are exceptional except for the few incidents that were not favorable which we discussed and I was satisfied with her responses. I am still not quite convinced she will be in my budget. But I do appreciate that she cared enough to reach out to me.

The house has a large backyard where you can see there's space for the dogs to run and play. Anthony takes daily pictures of the dogs and sends them over so we can see the group of dogs and what they are up to. He has a magic power (for real) because he manages to keep all these dogs sitting while taking pics lol. Our dog feels like he's at home there since we take his bed, leash, and food. Also, Anthony is very easy to reach. We would answer your call/texts right away or within mins! we heard from him through our building. It turned out that a lot of ppl use their services here so that gave us more peace of mind. We love them and are very grateful for their services a because they love our dog as much as we do.

When we picked her up, I gave her water and she immediately started drinking it desperately. She didn't even greet us. She was more focused on drinking water than on seeing us, which says a lot about how thirsty she was. That behavior is not normal for her. Runa is not a dog that pants excessively unless she has been running a lot or is extremely tired. She almost never pants, not even when she's happy. That's why it really stood out to me that in every photo I received during her stay, she was constantly panting. At first glance, the dogs may appear "happy," but in reality they seem thirsty. She was there for only 5 days and still came back thinner and extremely thirsty. I can't imagine how uncomfortable that must have been for her , or how other dogs may be feeling if they are not being given proper access to water. I'm writing this with sadness, but also with the hope that this feedback leads to better care and attention to the well-being of the animals left at this place.

With a very poor life expectancy after diagnosis, we moved to Miami and needed to find a new veterinarian for her. We were blessed to find this practice and Dr. Michael. The loving Care he was provided did not just prolong her life, it helped prolong her happy and enjoyable life as long as possible. It also helped us prepare to know when going on was not an option. The incredible compassion shown through their care was over the top superb. My most recent visit was to bring my new baby and for spaying. As always, the medical skill and compassion was remarkable. I am comforted to know that my dog's health is being overseen by Dr. Michael. There is one problem with this practice that I do need to call out. I'm a busy person and don't always have time to wait. I understand when I come in for emergency care that there will be a wait, depending on the other other appointments and emergencies being taken care of, but when I bring my dog in for scheduled spaying to drop her off and then return at the time that they tell me to pick her up I do not expect to have over an hour wait in the waiting room. But I did in the morning and then again in the afternoon. Having run a medical practice of my own for decades, I know the importance of valuing other people's time and feel that they do not value mine as well as they could. This is my only complaint, but it is not a small one. I will of course tolerate the wait because of my trust in Dr. Michael but feel that this is something they should work on by having systems in place to prevent weight time when it is unnecessary. I highly recommend this practice for the quality of Care but be prepared for the long wait times.
