I have used Nyla/Broward Pet Sitting for a few years. This was the first time I had my pets there for more than one night. I was comfortable leaving them in Nyla's care, with complete instructions as she told me to provide. Two dogs require daily medications, and one dog is on a special no-fat diet. I left a lot of instructions and different foods and treats for the dogs, and for the cat. I feel that my pets were well cared for. Nyla did share status information with me on-line. When I went to pick up the dogs, they looked happy in the yard, and I was wondering if they even missed me. They did. But, I am glad they were so happy at Nyla's house. My cat did not do so well, but Nyla informed me that she was not eating, and was hiding in the cat room. I suggested the food with tuna, and it must have worked because she was not starved. I also suggested putting one of the dogs she gets along with in her room, but the dog barked to get out, so Nyla informed me that she didn't keep him in the room. The room for the cat was nicely set up; I guess my kitty missed me. The facilities are great! Nyla gets to know the dogs and their quirks. My pets were very happy there and well taken care of. I have recommended Broward Pet Sitting, and now have a friend who left her dog and cat there for two months. You must be honest with Nyla about your pet's behaviors, please, so she is aware of any special needs. For example, one of my dogs pees indoors -- I left a belly band, and pee pads. When I take my next vacation I will be glad to be able to leave my pets with Broward Pet Sitting, knowing they will have optimal care in a "family" home atmosphere, under a responsible, caring business owner. It's a nice set-up. I have hesitated to take vacations and leave my pets in the past. Now, I will feel comfortable going away, because I know I can count on Broward Pet Sitting for great care!

I never worried at all about my dog. Nyla keeps in constant touch and my dog is as happy as can be to go and stay in their home. I love this place and tell all my friends that they too will have an exceptional experience.

Seemed to be ok but I was not happy that, although I told Nyla not to remove my dogs' collars, one was handed back to me minus her collar, which was in her tote bag. Explanation was not given but instead I was told that the dog kept her up one night during a bad storm and therefore wasn't a good fit for her business. I since have seen the rort about the dog she cared for where she put a shock collar on it causing servere burns. Anothe customer stated he saw photos of his dog with a red collar which he later found out was a shock collar (by her own admission). I believe my dog didn't have her collar on because she had been wearing a shock collar. I cannot recommend this business for that reason. Also, her kitchen where she keeps the dogs' supplies is very disorganized. She boarded my friends two poodles which overlapped with my dogs' stay. I got a frantic call the night befor I dropped my two off that she ran out of food for my friend's dogs and I had to rush our and buy more. My friend doesn't make mistakes like that. Judging from the way the supplies are kept, she probably gave their food to another dog by mistake.

I have used Broward pet sitting for a while now. I travel a few days for work almost every week and feel so good about the care my dog receives with Nyla. Nyla goes out of her way to deliver an exemplary customer service experience. I have had many schedule changes, late flights and other hang-ups and it is never a problem. They have always been there for myself and my dog, Zoey.
I would not hesitate to refer BPS to anyone who wants a loving 'temporary' home for their pets. Their care, nurturing, attention to detail and over all love for animals is amazing!!
Love BPS. Thanks for all you have done for me and for making my life so much easier!!!

Max learned to get along with other dogs and with kids. Nyla really cared for him like he was one of her family. She re-enforced the training classes that I was going to and practiced his "tricks" with him. He seemed to have endless energy and this was the perfect solution and place for him to play and learn. I had to move out of town and he really misses his friends at Broward Pet Sitting. But because of his good care he can stay at home alone and he never destroys anything. Thanks Nyla:)

Nila was very attentive to our needs with Parker. He is a rescued dog that was abused and has built a fear of people because of it. They not only cared for him over the weekend when my wife and I traveled, they began steps toward rehabilitating him. This is something I did not expect, but am very pleased with his progress in just one weekend of being in their care. Parker has built a fear of women and avoid my wife at all cost. However, when we picked him up he licked her and laid back for a belly rub. Something he has never done in the past. We look forward to using more of their services and network of trainers to assist us in making Parker a well adjusted and happy member of our family. Thank you Nila and we will continue to use your services in the future.

I knew immediately when I picked up my 2 puppies that they were well
cared for. I was worried about my little Molly as she has lost 90% of her eyesight over the last 6 months. She is shy and timid and needs help getting around. Molly seemed happy and was jumping around when we came to pick her up. They were happy and looked clean and healthy. Nyla really knows her animals and she makes sure they are safe and happy. It gives
us great peace of mind knowing we can plan a getaway and not worry
about our babies. Thanks Nyla.

Everything went very well. I was a bit concerned leaving my cat alone for an extended period of time, since this is the first time I've taken a long vacation since I got him. I asked for him to be checked on twice a day. He didn't interact much with his caregivers, but he was well tended to. I really like the e-mail updates after each visit. Highly recommend Broward Pet Sitting and will hire them again when I take my next vacation next year.
Response from Broward Pet Sitting

Very pleasant, professional, and easy to work with. Received email updates after each visit. The sitter showed concern for my cat and spent time interacting with my pet to be sure everything was all right. The emails kept me away of what was done during each visit and how my pet responded to the sitter.

I couldn't be happier with Broward Pet Sitting. My family had to go out of town for ten days, and we have an older dog who is happiest around people and other dogs. We didn't want to leave her home alone for so long, and kenneling didn't seem like a good option, either, so we brought her in to stay with Nyla and her family at Broward Pet Sitting.
For the same price we would have paid to give her a no-frills stay in a kennel, our dog had a stay in a family home setting, along with several other dogs. The care she received there was excellent, and I will not hesitate to bring her back any time our family needs to travel in the future.
If you have to leave town but can't bring the dog, I highly recommend trusting your furry friends to Broward Pet Sitting.

I honestly cannot say enough about Broward Pet Sitting. I reached out to them to inquire about walking our two large dogs during the week. They came out to our home on our schedule and spent over an hour allowing our dogs to feel comfortable with them. They then came back the following week for a few more "acclamation" sessions. They truly went above and beyond, in my opinion, making me and my dogs feel comfortable. You can truly tell they have a love for animals and I cant imagine finding anyone better to care for my dogs during the day. They are responsive to all of my questions, emails and phone calls and are on-time for every appointment. They send pictures and text messages every day after the appointment to let me know how everything went - this absolutely makes my day!!!! I feel luck to have found them and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for pet care services.

Broward Pet Sitting provided excellent care for our dog. He was well groomed when we picked him up their comments about him evidenced that he received plenty of personal attention and was treated like a member of the family during his stay. They are very accommodating and much more accessible than any other boarding location we have used in the past enabling us to drop him off and pick him up at time that we're convenient to us and our travel plans. Their prices are quite reasonable and their business hours do not cause you to be charged for more time than necessary. We will definitely board our dog with them again.

It was a warm and loving home that took care of our two dogs. They feed them ,walked them , played with them and were extremely attentive to them.They sent us videos and pictures of the dogs while they were there.It was a great experience for the dogs and us. It also was very reasonable in terms of the price.

I found Broward Pet Sitting services quite a while back through Angie's List. After our initial Phone Conversation we set up a convenient time to introduce ourselves in person and allow Nyla the owner to get to know our dogs. She is a wonderful person and you get a immediate comfort about the care she provides and how she is very knowledgeable about pets. Her warmth and professional courtesy made me feel reassured that my girls would be in great hands while traveling. She was also aware that leaving your pets is just like leaving your child and she made a special effort to keep me posted on the happiness of my girls and sending me photo's and messages. Although that is not required she is just very thoughtful in that way. So I can tell you hands down she is not only a fantastic Pet Sitter she is very reliable and has always been there for us to watch our girls when ever we have requested. I respect that Nyla and her family are very busy with the business so I try to make our appointment as much in advance as I can because I don't know what I would do if she were not there. So I we have been utilizing Broward Pet Sitting Services for a couple of years and I have reccomended their services to many friends over the years. It will make you feel very comfortable and secure with her service I trust them completely and Plan to use her services again very soon. I would give her a five star rating if it existed but for now the highest A plus and I have also told Nyla if she would like to use me as a reference to any new customer that I would be happy to accommodate.
They are a Dogs best friend!!!

Nyla was the very best dog sitter. She came to my home and met my dog, Dixie, a few weeks before I was travelling out of state.She was very professional and offered me many references. I felt very comfortable with her. I rarely leave my dog, but had no choice and Nyla was willing to go above and beyond and stay at my home so that my dog was comfortable in her surroundings. She sent me text messages and photos keeping me informed of Dixie's well-being while I was away. My family returned to a very happy dog. I can't thank her enough for taking such good care of Dixie. She treated her just like she was one of her own dogs. I trust her with my dog and my home. She is truly wonderful!

I just moved to Miramar from Detroit with my cat, Mimi, and my dog, Snoozer. The day before my departure, my friend who was going to watch Mimi and Snoozer, got sick. I needed a trustworthy pet sitter who can take care of my babies while I was on vacation. Kathy from Broward Pet Sitting was terrific! From the moment I met her, I felt comfortable that she would take good care of my babies. Kathy came to my home and fed/cleaned up after Mimi and fed and walked Snoozer. I am certain she came three times a day as scheduled and spent more than 30 minutes with them because my neighbor told me she saw her. Kathy sent me daily updates with pictures via text. Upon my return, my home was in the same condition as I left it, my mail and newspapers had been collected, my plants were watered and I found a two very happy pets. I am so glad to have found Kathy at Broward Pet Sitting. I let everyone at work know that if they need a reliable pet sitter, they must call Broward Pet Sitting.

We used Nyla at Broward Pet Sitting for the first time & our experience was great.....great......great. Our two Maltese dogs, Gilley & Mille, were taken care of like part of their family. Nyla has a wonderful gift with dogs. The love she gave our dogs was unbelievable.
When we leave town, we know that our place for our two Maltese dogs is
with Nila. Thanks for always being there for Gilley & Millie, they love you.
