“Sterling was amazing with our girls! We took them on vacation with us, but they had a hard time being left in the unfamiliar environment and experienced some separation anxiety. With Sterling, they were completely at peace and didn’t even cry when we left. We’d definitely book again if we go back!”
“Maria is fabulous. She took care of my dogs like they were her own. She kept in contact and sent pics. She really made my vacation so much less stressful bc I normally worry about them whenever I go away. I recommend her 10/10!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was around 10 years old, starting with my first family dog. Currently, I help take care of our two dogs at home alongside my mom. In addition to my own pets, I also look after a few family friends’ dogs, giving me a variety of hands-on experience with different breeds and personalities, but especially pitbulls! As a teacher, my schedule allows me to be available for pet care after 3 PM on weekdays and throughout the weekend, as well as most days in the summer! I regularly care for my own two family dogs and help out with my family friends’ pets, so dog walking and sitting naturally fit into my daily and weekly routine. I’m used to balancing responsibilities and enjoy spending my free time with animals. Whether in my home or a client’s, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick to their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care they need. At a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure everything is clean and secure. At my home, my pets get plenty of attention, outdoor time, and a calm environment to relax in. I treat every pet like they’re my own!

“Mae was amazing. It was our first time hiring a pet-sitter, and we will definitely use Mae again if we need it. Getting home, our animals weren't stressed out at all, though they usually are after we take a trip. Mae sent daily photos and even left some wonderful printed photos for us when we returned. Our pup had some tummy trouble while we were gone, and she handled that as well. Overall great experience, so thankful for a stress-free trip!”

About: I treat every pet like family—whether they’re a playful puppy needing structure and training, or a sweet senior who just wants comfort and gentle care. I’m experienced with pets at all life stages, including administering medications, managing special diets, and providing calm, reliable companionship. I also prioritize communication, keeping you updated with messages, photos, and peace of mind while you’re away. It’s not just pet sitting—it’s personalized care from someone who genuinely loves and understands animals. My schedule is very flexible since I do daily dog walks and pop-ins. I already have regular clients in the Margate area around 3:30–4:30 PM, so if you’re nearby, that works out great! If not, no worries at all—I’ll always do my best to find a way to help.

My goal is to make it feel like you never left… just with a new best friend in the meantime!
About: They say you should surround yourself with good people. I think you should surround yourself with good animals. I have been alive for 34 years and have never lived without a pet, usually multiple. I started dog walking and sitting for friends and neighbors when I was a teenager. I’ve had experience with dogs of all shapes, sizes and temperaments; from yorkies to mastiffs, from puppies to seniors, from training pads to diapers, from calm/shy to hyper/anxious. Everyone I have dog walked or pet sat for have been a repeat client - one dog never even left! (A story that’s too long for here, but I would love to share. That’s dog changed my life and his owners became family🥰) If you are looking for someone to spoil your dog with love and treat them like family when they can’t be with you, you found the right person! I can’t wait to meet you and my new best friend. ☺️ As a teacher, my summer is fully open! I am flexible and available anytime during the day, even if you have to book last minute. Starting September 2nd, my availability will be after 3:30 pm on weekdays (4:40 on Tuesdays) and anytime during weekends. I am also available for overnight, as long as your pet is okay to be alone during my work hours. I live in a one floor townhouse with a fenced in back yard, just a couple block from the beach. I prefer to take care of pets in their own home, as I have a crazy two year old cat. However, arrangements can be made depending on the duration of stay and the amount of time booked in advance.
About: I’ve always had love for animals and helping people out! I’m currently going to college to become a vet-tech or veterinary rehabilitation therapist.

Adrianna S.
“Adrianna has been a godsend for us!! Finding a sitter for our 85lb boy who can sometimes be aggressive when scared and anxious was a huge challenge for us until we found Adrianna! From the moment they met, my boy warmed right up to her. What a relief for us! She has been so fantastic and handling our pup and she just truly understands his needs like he is her own. She was really awesome about some training tricks we didn’t know about and I cant recommend her enough.”
