1. Joann H.
“JoAnn was wonderful. She took great care of our house and our Daisy. She’s so kind to animals and very responsible. We were gone for five nights and she provided text updates and photos each day. I’d definitely use her again”
2. Shafika Danielle R.
“Shafika took amazing care of our dog and home. She was super communicative and went above and beyond to take care of Lucca (deshedding!) and our house (washed the sheets!). Would absolutely hire again!”
3. Kristina C.
“Kristina was very good with my two little dogs. Sent pictures daily. She also house set for me. The house was clean and even washed and remade the bed. I was gone 8 days. Kristina was pleasant to talk to and understood all my must haves for my babies. Will definitely use her again.”
4. Heather S.
“I literally can’t say enough about Heather. I had to go to CA for a doctor’s appt and had to be gone for a week and right before I left, my dog became really sick and needed IV for 3 days. Heather didn’t hesitate. She went above and beyond and took Maggie to the vet to make sure she got exactly the care that she needed. I wouldn’t have left my dog period, but I had that much faith in Heather and the doctor’s appt was beyond a need for me.”
5. Taylor S.
“Taylor was awesome from the get go! She accommodated our requests for dates by rearranging her schedule so she could care for our dogs. She checked in daily morning and nightly to put our minds at ease that our dogs were ok. We would highly recommend Taylor’s services!”
6. Alexys C.
“Alexys was amazing! She communicated well, and sent pictures regularly to ease my mind while I was gone. My dogs both loved her!”
7. Lauren W.

9. Tatiana Shane L.
“Amazing sitter for my two tripod cats. Tatiana was very communicative and flexible leading up to the booking as I had a few things change last minute and she was more than willing to accommodate. She sent updates and pictures and you could really tell she was spending time with my fur babies. They were well cared for. Will absolutely rebook with her in the future!!”

11. Kayla A.
About: Since elementary school, I have always wanted to become a veterinarian. Now, as a junior in college, I have ample experience working with various species. I currently work at an animal hospital, where I am familiar with dispensing medication and performing typical grooming tasks for cats and dogs. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine as I have no pets myself, allowing me to focus entirely on yours. My top priority is ensuring your pet's safety and enjoyment. I create a clear schedule tailored to each pet's needs, including regular outings and ample playtime to burn off energy. Caring for pets in my home or a client's home varies based on the service provided. In my home, I maintain a safe and comfortable environment, ensuring pets have plenty of playtime, exercise, and attention. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their routine and specific instructions, keeping the pets in a familiar and secure setting while providing the same level of care and affection.
12. Haley S.
About: I’ve always loved helping take care of animals! I have dogs of my own and I help my family and friends with their animals as well! I have mostly helped with dogs but I have helped take care of a few cats as well for my friends! Anywhere from staying with them, walking them, or just spending time with them! I will be sure to love your fur babies like I do my own! So I currently work full time at the hospital on night shift! My schedule is always different so it will make it harder to stay nights! But I can easily fit in walking, letting them out, feeding them, and loving on them! If your dogs were to stay with me I do have a fenced in yard and 2 other dogs to keep them company and play with! I could crate them if needed as I do crate my own dogs when I am not home! Me and my cousin so let our dogs sleep in the beds with us and we do let them on the furniture! We also have multiple toys that they can play with as well!
13. Olivia S.
About: I work from home and near a lot of great parks and walking trails! I have cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, and fish since I was 7. Helping friends and community members look after their fur babies brings me so much joy! I love being outdoors and walking around with an animal by my side (: I am currently working from home and am off at 4 on Fridays and free during the weekends. I get an hour-long lunch break, work a flexible schedule and can walk or care for your pets anytime! I can work from home from anywhere and have set up my home office in other peoples homes while they are out of the country and I look after their dogs. I am very versatile, welcoming, kind soul who would love to help you with your animals! I live alone in a 2 bedroom apartment, with a big patio and grassy area! and no current pets occupying my living space. I love to travel! I want to help others care for their pets and want to encourage other people traveling so I am open to helping others and welcoming my space to new pet friends!
14. Andrew P.
“I would recommend Andrew to anyone and have no reservations booking him again. My two adult pitbulls adore Andrew. I'm borderline concerned that they like him more than me. Andrew was in contact with me everyday I was away. He sent videos and photos as well as exact times when they started and ended walks. Additionally Andrew asked permission before doing things. Despite being a fairly relaxed person with people using the amenities, I truly appreciated Andrew asking for my consent prior to using them. Definitely give Andrew a call and see if he's available to watch your fur babies. I'm glad I did.”
15. Courtney G.
“Courtney is great with all pets and is very professional. She is reliable, consistent and eager to care for pets. It’s clear that she not only loves animals, but understands their needs. I highly recommend her!”
16. Graham G.
About: I have grown up with dogs and worked at the Tallahassee Animal Service Center for 6 years and have taken care of clients pets for 10+ years. I love all animals and enjoy taking care of them. I am currently working part-time so my schedule is very flexible. Most of the pet sitting I currently do is overnight at the pets house and letting dogs out in the morning and again in the evening in addition to feeding them. When I stay at the clients home and take care of their pet(s) I give the same care that they normally get. This can also include giving medication if needed. I also take care of some home chores - water plants, collect mail etc.
17. Harley G.
“Harley is the best person you could have around your animals! No matter where we are, if she sees an animal she runs to them! They love her and trust her immediately. She is an awesome listener and friend! Definitely a first choice!”

19. Ashli J.
About: I have 8 plus year worth child care experience ranging from ages 2-16 years old. I pay attention to detail, and prompt safe/clean environment or experiences. Along with working with kids in the afternoon, my morning schedule consists of me going to the gym and some free time afterwards that can be spent caring for your dog! I would care for the clients’ dog in their home to ensure safety for their pet, along with keeping areas clean that their pet frequents in the clients home as well.
