What clients say about this service

I wanted a pet care service that felt more personal than simply booking whoever happened to be available. dogoboca has been exactly that. Chloe knows her sitter, we know who is coming to our home, and communication has always been excellent. It feels much more like having a trusted personal pet caregiver.
Stephanie M. Palm Beach
Our Dachshund, Oscar, has his own very specific routine and he absolutely lets you know when you get it wrong. dogoboca actually listened to all of our instructions and followed them. Oscar was relaxed when we got home, which is not always the case when someone else watches him. We'll be using them again.
Robert A. Lake Worth Beach
We needed someone to care for Sophie while we were away for the evening, and I was nervous because she is very attached to us. I received several pictures and a message letting me know she had eaten and was settled in. Being able to see that she was comfortable made such a difference.

Questions

Before you book

Which pets do you look after?

Dogs and cats are the core of what we do, and we also care for birds and parrots, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, ferrets, bearded dragons, geckos, turtles and aquariums. If you have something unusual, just ask - we will tell you honestly whether we are the right fit.

Which areas do you cover?

The whole coast from Boca Raton to West Palm Beach - including Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, Lake Worth, Wellington and Palm Beach Gardens. Not sure if you are in range? Just ask.

Is my dog safe with you?

Yes. Every sitter is background-checked, hired in person and works here legally. We always start with a free meet & greet, you have the same trusted sitter on every visit, and every visit ends with a photo report in your account.

Do you send updates while I am away?

After each visit your sitter files a report - the arrival time from our clock, a note and any photos - and it appears in your account under Reports. When your sitter records the walk, the report also carries the distance, the time out and a map drawn from what the phone caught. Phones stop recording when the screen goes dark or the signal drops, so the map shows gaps and the distance is a lower bound, never the full walk. We do not send live updates or automatic photo messages. If you want to hear how a particular visit went, call or write and a person will answer.

How does overnight boarding work?

Two options: cage-free boarding in our home for dogs and cats, or in-home pet sitting where we stay overnight at your place - the best choice for cats, birds, reptiles and anyone who does better in their own space.

What vaccinations are required?

For walks and drop-ins we just need a current rabies vaccination for dogs and cats. For daycare and boarding we also require DHPP and Bordetella. Birds, reptiles and small pets need no vaccination records - just care notes and a vet contact.

Start with a free meet & greet Twenty minutes, no card on file. You meet the person who will actually be coming, and either side can walk away.
