“Susana was such a life saver, we were on vacation and needed help with one of our cats who needs daily medication. Despite being on a cruise she was so easy to communicate with and even coordinated with my friend who was house sitting for us. I would 10000% recommend Susana!”



“Erika once again was amazing with our Boo. She went above and beyond taking care of him and taking care of our home. We appreciate you so much and you are always our go to girl when we go away.”


“Michelle was amazing with our fur babies!! She spent a good amount of time with them each visit, and she even left me notes for each visit as well. We couldn't have asked for better care, and we would 100% recommend her to anyone else. I hope she's available next time we need someone to watch our boys!”


“Me and my pet are new to pet sitting so I had no idea what to expect. Camila went above and beyond during her time with Osiris. She was very flexible and responsive. I can tell that she knows what she’s doing and loves animals. Will be using her again when I’m out of town!”


“Thanks!”



“Allison was absolutely wonderfully. She kept my girls fed, clean, and safe while I was away. She was also very respectful of my apartment and, per my request, kept me updated each day about my girls. I will be utilizing her services again!”


About: Former pet care assistant at a boarding and daycare facility, which I left after relocating for my husband’s career.

About: I’ve cared for pups of all ages—from bouncy puppies to wise old seniors. I specialize in creating a fun, safe, and loving environment where every dog feels like family. Whether it’s giving meds or handling quirky personalities, I’ve got the skills to keep tails wagging and hearts happy.

About: Are you looking for someone to look after your furbaby as their own? Are you looking for someone who has been working in the pet care industry for 5+ years? Look no further. During the hot summers, Dogs are kept in AC at all times. Except when being walked. I find this especially imporatant during the summer in Florida. We can keep your dog separate from other dogs if needed.( Especially dogs that dont get along with other dogs). Your Furbaby will be under great care. I will be sending updates and pictures throughout the day or stay. For checkin, I will provide pictures of your furbaby and show you how they are doing. They will receive my full and undivided attention. This is my passion and what I do fulltime. I offer playtime, feeding (breakfast/dinner) if needed, 3 walks a day, and socialization with other dogs. For dog walks and/ pop-ins, parent and I will set the times that I will need to come by and checkin. Safety is my number one priority. For small dogs I have a big outside playpen. I walk bigger dogs. Inside dogs roam the house but I crate them if they seem like they need a break.

“Kaylee was great and updated me everyday about my babies!”


About: I’ve taken care of senior and special needs dogs in the past. I promise to care for your pet and give them lots of love! I am currently working from home and have plenty of free time to take your pet on a walk or spend quality time with them. I offer pet sitting at your home. I promise to care not only for your pet but also to be very mindful of your home and environment.

About: Hi everyone! I am a teacher & dog mama who is looking to keep busy this summer and help take care of your fur babies! I have been helping take care of pets and house-sitting for over 8 years. I’ve had both dogs and a cat as pets so I am very familiar & comfortable with them. I have experience with caring for dogs starting at 8 weeks up until their senior years, so I know how important it is to stick to a schedule when it comes to potty breaks or medication. Since I am a teacher, I have most of the summer completely free on the week days and weekends other than a few weeks where I will be traveling. I am able to stay at your home all day and night if needed, to help watch over fur baby. I ensure that your pet stays comfortable in your own home by respecting their space and boundaries at all times. If you have a pet that is a bit shy towards new people, I do my best to give them space and not overwhelm them with my presence. I will stick to any schedule you may have to ensure that your pet has an easy transition while you are away.

About: I’ve always had an interest and appreciation for animals so I was always volunteering to take care of my family and friends pets at a young age. It wasn’t until college when I got my very own dog and thanks to my experience from taking care of others pets I was able to take care of mine with much ease. I work part time and have a very flexible schedule throughout my day. Any request in advance is is sure to be doable by me. I live in a spacious apartment with my dog. I also have a private dog park just a minute walk from my building. I live on the first floor so that makes walking my dog and yours that much easier and efficient.

About: I am often called by friends and family to check in, feed, and walk pets. I love interacting with high energy puppies and I love spending quality time with low energy seniors. I currently work part time, and occasionally attend classes at UCF. This leaves me with plenty of open time! I have my own car and am very good at time management. Since I prefer to care for pets in the clients home, I will share that I am incredibly respectful and will not be afraid to ask questions regarding the home safety or pet safety.

About: I’ve taken care of everything from ferrets to large dogs! I was the famous pet sitter in my neighborhood growing up. Whatever your dog needs I can provide, no problem! I’m a college student with a pretty relaxed schedule. I’m available for most of the week so I’m flexible with your needs, whatever that may be. I’m also totally fine with them tagging along for my errands! I’m very mindful of other’s spaces and even tidy up a little so the place is nicer than when I found it. I’ve also worked with dogs with behavioral issues so nothing surprises me!

About: I always ensure a pet is safe and happy under my care and I am the go-to pet sitter in my circles. Making sure a pet gets its exercise and enrichment is essential! I’m a graduate student at UCF so I’m currently enjoying a more open schedule during the summer! I am quite available for whatever you and your pet needs. I like to keep my pets on a carefully followed schedule when it comes to their bathroom time and eating times. I also love playing with my dogs in order to get their energy spent and to make sure they are also mentally stimulated.
