Thank you Monika for starting this wonderful service! Mercy was our "host-mom" for Olive and there was no way I could ever be happier with Olive's "vacation". Mercy is such a warm and loving person, I knew Olive would have fun there. Mercy's entire family was loving and friendly with Olive. I received daily messages (sometimes twice)and photos too. Olive loves to walk and Mercy enjoyed taking her on long walks. With a large screened patio, Olive could be safe outside at anytime. Everything about Olive's vacation was wonderful. Olive was adopted from Animal Services at the end of October and I really hated the thought of her staying at any of the other kennels I checked out. There was NO GUILT upon leaving on our vacation after dropping her off at Mercy's home. I was actually afraid Olive wouldn't want to come home again! I think she had a great time. Most Sincerely, Nancy Griffin, Miami-Dade County

Dear Monika,
Thank you for responding to our request so quickly. I wanted to take the time to tell you what a wonderful experience we had meeting with your pet host partners in our quest for a loving home to board our dog Kinzie for the holidays.
We had gone to several kennels to interview owners and take tours of the premises and were not very happy with our findings. When we discovered your website for Cageless Boarding we were very excited about the possibility of our Kinzie being in someone's home who would care for her and not being locked in a cage all day . We received e-mails from several of your hosts and we were extremely pleased that we were able to meet with four of your pet host partners and spend some time with each of them getting to know them and their pets to see if the hosts and Kinzie would be a good fit.
All four of the pet hosts we met with were extremely gracious, taking time to have Kinzie meet with any of their pets and to answer any questions we might have.
We chose who we felt was the best fit for Kinzie for this time, but I wanted you to know we were very pleased with all of the pet hosts we met with and would definitely look forward to doing business with any of them in the future if a need arose.
Thank you for having this service for people who believe that dogs are Not prisoners and deserve a home to stay in while their Mommies and Daddies are away.
Regards,
Bonnie Cody, Sue Hess & Kinzie
Hi... I just want to thank Mercy for her wonderful job with Chiqui. She was so happy in her house and I feel so relax knowing that my little doggie was in good hands. I received pictures of chiqui every day. It was a good thing for me because I knew that everyday chiqui was happy and receiving a a lot of love from Mercy and her family. thank you very much.!! you did a wonderful job.!! :)
Hi Mercy,
I just wanted to thank you again for taking such wonderful care of our little princess Lola. There are very few people I trust with her and that are willing to take as good of care of her as we do, and you surpassed our expectations with flying colors! I felt so much more at ease going away, which used to be a complete nightmare for me! So with ?that said, THANK YOU SO MUCH! I just know she had a fabulous time with you & your family, and we look forward to using your services ?regularly in the future, should we need a petsitter again, which I know we eventually will. Lola couldn't be happier and I'm sure she will look forward to visiting you again soon.
With gratitude & many thanks,
Vanessa, George & Princess LolaXoxo
Hi Monika,
Thank heaven for the pet sitters you have working with you! I have used your services on two different occasions, once with Susie, and once with Jeanette. I would like to tell you that Susie was great,as I was in a bind with a last minute short trip with no one to help me. I found your pet sitting services through the search engine after spending two days trying to figure out what I was going to do with my little girl, Maggie Mae. It was a holiday and last minute thing, but Susie took care of Maggie Mae for us and the trip went well. Maggie Mae had a great time and slept for two days after coming home since she spent her time playing with Susie's dog. I live on Lake Okeechobee in a small town that is far from a lot of services, so it is not easy trying to find someone to leave Maggie Mae with, without traveling for miles. Your services offer sitters in a lot of areas that make it simple to drop off a pet on your way out of town.Mark and I had family visiting from New York over the New Year's holiday and they met us in Fort Lauderdale for a few days. I once again thought of your services. This time I was rushed again to get a sitter. After I requested your services, Jeanette let me know she could take Maggie Mae. Since she lived near where I had planned to stay, I decided to give her a try. Maggie Mae was in heaven! Maggie Mae loves to play with other animals, and she and Jeanette's two dogs got along from the minute we introduced them. When we arrived at Jeanette's home,which was quiet beautiful, she invited us in, we talked while the dogs got to know each other, Maggie Mae was so much into her two new friends, she barely knew we left.Jeanette emailed and called me along to let me know Maggie Mae was having a great time and she was behaving very well. This let me know I left her with a caring and loving person. Maggie Mae was a happy pup! Our trip was worry free. When we picked up our little girl, even though she was glad to see us, I think she would have been happy to stay with Jeanette and Bruce and her two new friends.I do not like to go away and leave my little girl, but sometimes it is necessary. Next time I do, you can be sure I will ask for Jeanette!Thanks again for providing such a wonderful and needed service!Judy, Mark, and especially, Maggie MaeMercy was great! I've left Yona with her twice and he loved her and her family. She is a very responsible, caring and consciencious pet sitter. Her home was impeccable and I felt stress free in leaving Yona with her. I got updates on his stay and I was very at ease leaving my 83lb Chocolate Lab. Would definitely use her again.

This was a wonderful experience for my dog, Lucky, and for me. Mercy Valido and her family are true dog lovers. Mercy has a vivacious energy and genuine concern for the happiness of the dog and the owner. Text messages from Mercy regarding Lucky's activities were reassuring. Cageless Boarding and Mercy came to the rescue when my usual pet sitter was unavailable. Mercy provides the kind of care you would want your loved one to experience when you are away. All in all our experience was far better and beyond than anything expected!

My husband and I were so lucky to have found Mercy as a host to take care of our dog while out of town. She gave him so much love as if he had been her own dog for years. She checked in frequently updating us with how our dog was doing that day. Cash was very happy and healthy when we picked him up and we would leave in with Mercy in a heart beat whenever we go out of town again. I would recommend Mercy to anyone would wants their pet to be loved and cared for while away. Thanks for everything Mercy!!
We would like to express our gratitute by writting to your company and our pethost, Mercy Valido from Pinecrest. My husband and I had to make last minute arrangements looking for sitting services for our dear Linda, and kennel services were out of question. I am glad these cageless services were created and we were very lucky to have found mercy to take care of our dog. she sent us emails and texts on a daily basis, which made us feel closer to her even though we were many miles away in France. It is such a nice feeling of relief and peace of mind to have our dog in good hands! Thank you very much for creating a service company that focuses on the happiness of the families and their 4legged companions. We will be forever grateful to Mercy and surely will call her again and again and refer her again and again....Best regards, The Rosa Family
Dear Monika,

You can tell by her expertise and how she talks about them.I just can't find in my short vocabulary another word for her then Excellent!"

I found Luiza through "www.cageless boarding.com" while frantically searching for a calm and loving place to leave our epileptic dog, Phantom, when we visit our children (now spread across the planet). My daughter, a veterinary medicine student, was especially picky about where we would place her doggie during our travels.
Luiza is helpful, flexible and well-knowledged on dog care. Her home is a loving, spotlessly clean, happy place. Phantom jumps right out of the car and heads for the door each time we drop him off. I highly recommend Luiza at www.cagelessboarding.com as a place to leave your doggie when you need to travel without worrying about your pet."

Hello Monika,
I am sending this to let you know about our experience with Lisa and Jerry. Our baby, Miloh, stayed with Lisa/Jerry for a week. This was the first time we tried this service. Miloh is a 9 year old Lab/Great Dane mix (big dog). He does not really do well at boarding kennels (no matter how nice). We hoped this would work better for him. Guess what? It was 100% better, maybe too good. Miloh was not as anxious to leave as he is when we pick him up at the kennel. He looked like he would be happy to stay another week. Lisa/Jerry are our new heroes!!! We highly recommend them, and this service. Thank You so very much.

Testimonial for Cageless Boarding, Luiza
I found the Cageless Boarding website when I was doing a web search for an organization that would not put my new puppy in a kennel and leave him there all day. And a service that would not only checking on him during their business hours while my husband and I were on vacation or out of town on a business trip. We travel on a regular bases and need a loving person to provide the same care to our dog like my husband and I would. We found that person with the help of cagelessboarding.com. Just like any individual I have a horror story of a place that I have left my 6 month old puppy with. My fears and horror stories have ended due to this wonderful organization. My puppy was well cared for, which included the person taking care of him, allowing him to continue to sleep near or sometimes on a bed with a person. He had his play toys, treats, walks, T.V. time, and even was able to meet new dogs to interact with. This organization supplies a home away from home for mine, yours and everyone's best loved pets.

Luiza was not only kind, loving and attentive to my puppy Grace but also very comforting and helpful to me.?Luiza went out of her way to make me feel assured that Grace was being taken very well care. She went out of her way to meet us at the airport late at night so that I would not have to go looking for her house as well as again going out of her way, late at night to return Grace to me. She so thoughtfull took my lil Grace to the vet as she was having terrible allergic reactions, she is healthy as a "horse" now due to Luiza's careing heart. I highly recommend Luiza and her loving family to any family who will be having to leave their pet for whatever reason.

Hello Luiza,
I wanted to write to you simply to tell you " THANK YOU " I just can't thank you enough, you know how difficult it has been for me and my family this last few months, with Mother's health and my Brother, well you are a life saver. You were sent to me from up above, I truly believe that. We are grateful to you for many reasons ( your kindness, your concern and your dedication) , just to name a few.Things are finally falling into normality at home now. You were right " it does take time".My family and I gracefully thank you for everything you did and you still do for us.
Cordially,The Smitters family
I would like to pass on a friendly word about Luiza and her pet-sitting services. She has watched our 2 dogs and 3 cats (quite a zoo) while we were away on business trips, I absolutely adore her, she is just so cute and sweet with my animals, they love her dearly. When she comes over sometimes to visit they go completely insane to see her, she doesn't mind the slobber, the pushing and the shoving. We feel so blessed to have her sit for us. We just can't imagine not having her watch our beloved pets.Thank you so much Luiza, from the bottom of our hearts.
Sincerely;Annie, Cozmo, Nala, Simba and Joey.Suzie H.
I'm so very pleased to let you know that my husband and I had a great time in Jamaica, and it's all thank to you. We cannot even imagine having to leave our precious, beautiful babies with anyone else but you. Thanks again for making this happen, and trust me we were not concern about them at all, they love you very much and that is all that matters to us. We're going to need your services in the future again, but we'll make sure to let you know ahead of time, we promise. Thank you very much.
Lynn and Bill
