Crystal is awesome! Being a veterinarian myself, I am pretty particular about who I choose to care for my dogs. Crystal is caring, detail-oriented, and compassionate. She had great communication with us about the booking and about how our dogs were doing and sent lots of pictures of them to keep our minds at ease while we were away. She was super understanding when our start and end dates needed to be changed due to unforeseen circumstances and I appreciated that so much. She has taken care of our dogs in our home twice now and I just booked her again for a longer trip. It is so nice to be able to relax knowing our dogs and our home are in good hands. I highly recommend Crystal to watch your fur babies!

Kaitlyn was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our pets and went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, safe, and loved while we were away. Her communication was great, and it truly gave us peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter and would 100% book her again. Highly recommend!

Christina cared for our four cats in our home while we were away. She is extraordinary in every regard! We look forward to welcoming her back soon. Before we left for our trip, we could clearly see that Christina was passionate in regard to her dedication to providing the best care for each of our cats. In our conversations, she was meticulous about every aspect of their care. It was obvious from Christina’s communication and the photos that she shared with us while we were away that she offered kindhearted attention to our cats, made sure their food was offered on time, kept their litterboxes tidy and kept our house exceptionally clean. When we returned home, everything was in perfect order, and the cats were calm and very contented. One of our cats is on medication and needs special attention. Christina was very willing to work with her. She administered the medication and gave her that special sense of warmth and friendliness that prompted our cat to become her friend for life! We are truly grateful. Christina is professional, gracious and conscientious in every respect. She is a very intelligent young lady. We highly recommend her and look forward to welcoming her into our home again.

About: I’m a second-year veterinary student at the University of Florida with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I have dog sat numerous times for friends, neighbors, and families, including extended stays lasting several weeks. Through veterinary school and personal experience, I’m comfortable monitoring pets closely, administering basic medications if needed, and providing attentive, compassionate care. I understand how important consistency, communication, and trust are when leaving your pet with someone else, and I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently on summer break from veterinary school, so I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the week at all hours of the day to meet your pet’s needs. If you’re looking for a long-term sitter, I will also make sure to prioritize time for your pup during the school year (August–May). When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while their owners are away. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, and staying active or prefers a calmer, more relaxed environment, I’m happy to provide the care and attention that best fits their personality and needs. As a veterinary student with experience pet sitting for extended periods of time, I’m very attentive to animals’ behavior, routines, and overall well-being. I carefully follow all owner instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and household routines to ensure your pet is cared for exactly the way they are at home. My goal is always to make pets feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind. I also enjoy sending regular photo updates so owners can feel confident their pets are safe and happy while they’re away.

About: Growing up in my parents house I had 5 cats and 2 dogs. I love each one of my pets and their unique personalities, and they have been my biggest responsibility. I understand how difficult it is to leave a loved pet and know they are in good hands, so I treat each pet with the love and respect as if they were mine. I have a very flexible schedule, and can adjust to any accommodations. Available weekdays, weekends, days and nights! I am a student and work with pets as well as babysitting. For dogs I am more than happy to walk them, clean up after them, give them food and water and play with them as much as wanted! Same thing for cats as well as litter cleaning 😊

Teagan was absolutely amazing with our pets! She took such great care of our dogs, Beppo and Haruki, and even went above and beyond by helping with our cats and managing everyone’s medications with such care and attention to detail. When we got back, our dogs were not only well taken care of: Beppo & Haruki were genuinely happy and in great health when we came back home. Teagan is reliable, compassionate, and clearly loves what she does. We would welcome her back into our home anytime and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated pet sitter!

About: I’ve grown up around both cats and dogs, and my love for animals has always been one of the few things I’ve been completely certain about. That passion led me into the veterinary field, where I’ve now worked for the past 3 years caring for animals of all breeds, ages, and personalities. Through my experience in veterinary medicine and boarding facilities, I’m comfortable caring for multiple pets at once while still making sure each animal receives individual attention, patience, and compassion. I’m also trained in administering oral medications, injections, and other basic medical care when needed. Working closely with animals every day has taught me how important trust, routine, and gentle handling are for pets while their owners are away. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or needs extra attention, I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like they’re part of my own family. I work weekdays 9am–5pm, but I prioritize pet care before and after work, ensuring pets receive attention, playtime, feeding, medications, and loving care. I’m also available on weekends. In my client’s home, I follow each pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, litter box cleaning, walks or playtime, and administering any medications as instructed. I also make sure to give plenty of attention, affection, and calm companionship so pets feel safe while their owners are away. I keep the home clean, respect all instructions, and provide updates so owners have peace of mind.

About: I have been looking after family dogs and cats ever since I was a kid. It is from this experience that I have grown to love every animal on a deeper level and have the patience and knowledge it takes to continue to care for all sorts of pets and animals. I work full time remotely so I will have the flexibility to visit a fur baby at any time during the day or night during the week. I will alway respect your home and your pets and make sure I follow all of your instructions. I have experience looking after pets and homes for many friends and family so I will always give you the same amount of care and respect I give them!

Angelina did a great job of taking care of my 2 Boston Terriers. She walked them and took them on an occasional car ride. She also took great care with my house. It may have been cleaner than when I left it. I would definitely recommend her for your pit sitting needs.

About: I have an extensive background with all types of pets, even owning 15 types of big and small animals growing up myself. I’ve watched numerous breeds of dogs and cats for neighbors, family, and friends and I am dedicated to treating each pet with individuality tailored care. I have a flexible schedule as a part time barista and college student, and the earlier my notice is the more I can do for your furry friends. I make it my priority to check on my own furry friends as much as possible. Health is a top priority, but cuddles are always added if the pet permits them.

Xanadu is the literal BEST! 10/10 would recommend. She stayed at our place while we flew out for a weekend wedding trip and was extremely flexible when things went awry as hurricane Ian approached. Our trip was canceled and then back on and she came in clutch. Lots of pics and pets for our pup and floof, our minds and hearts were at ease knowing she was here.
