“Marianne has been absolutely the best pet sitter we could’ve ever asked for. She is loving, attentive and communicative. She’s quick to make the animal comfortable. she watched my cat sushi over the weekend faithfully for months. We kept going back to Marianne because she was truly the best person for the job. when my cat started to get sick, she noticed immediately and notified us so we were able to get her into the vet and cared for quickly. We know Sushi loved her and we would definitely work with her again!! Thank you, Marianne!!”


“Danielle and Deborah were absolutely amazing!!! We reached out to them to do visits at our home, for our four pups! We have two puppy siberian huskies a pomeranian, and chihuahua. The trip was pretty last minute and were unable to Meet with them to go over everything. With that, we also have a husky who requires medicine at a very specific time. We were really worried and stressed about who would care for our pups...and then we found Danielle and Deborah! :D They took such wonderful care of our pups, gave them their medicines on time and allowed us to have a very happy and relaxed trip. :) They followed every instruction, and overall I could not be more impressed and thankful! To top it all, we were sent amazing photo updates! They left a lovely note and goodies for the fur babies! yay!! We feel so spoiled! We recommend Danielle and Deborah to any dog owner! We will be using them again! Thank you so much!! you both are truly wonderful! :)”


“Ted was awesome! We met beforehand to introduce him to our two dogs. Ted was instantly a hit with them so we scheduled 3 drop-in visits for 6 days and the dogs were perfectly taken care of, including daily walks and playtime. My dogs loved Ted so much that I didn't get one spiteful poop from my little dog in his secret, "I'm-mad-you-left-me", spot. Ted also sent photos and comprehensive updates through the Rover app after each visit. I will definitely be booking with Ted again.”


About: I’ve raised my own pets since childhood. I’m experiencing with caring for 13+ dogs at a time. I currently have a 6 year old plot hound pit mix and a 2 month old kitten! :) Recently left my restaurant job of 10 years to seek alternate opportunities and I’m looking for something to keep me busy. What better way than to assist my community in caring for their pets! I would prefer to do at home visits since I currently have a 2 month old kitten and a dog. I will ensure your fur baby gets the best attention possible including walks, play time, and loads of pets.

About: I have always had a connection with all animals, and I look forward to building a connection with your pet. I'm patient and love to learn about your animals personality, like there favorite toys, treats or games. I have a fenced in yard and a great neighborhood for taking nice walks with your pet. I currently have no pets , so your pet will get my full love and attention. I can also administer medicine or follow any special instructions you may have. I take this seriously, I have cared for elderly blind dogs, cats with wounds that needed treatment, so I have experience with certain special needs. You can also count on constant photos and texts to keep you updated on how your animal is doing. This is my full time job and my passion. I'll be available to your pet 24/7 day and night especially since I don't currently have a pet. My day will be committed to caring for your pet, they will get plenty of love , attention and play time. Please bring any of your pets favorite toys or treats. I live in a nice 1 story home with plenty of space for your animal to play, I also have plenty of toys, treats and comfy spots for your pet to relax. I also have fenced in yard for them to play and there is a park just a short walk away. Our pets are our family and I will treat them like family and respect any request you may have. You're welcome to bring your pets crate , bed, food , toys, favorite treats or anything that will make them feel more at home. You can also expect many pictures of your pet having fun throughout the day to help ease your mind.

“Shannon was awesome Great communication -it was the first time we have left the dogs like this and I was a little nervous but starting with the first visit she put my mind at ease. Sending pictures and detailed everything the dogs were doing. The lasts day she even had to get creative since one of the dogs found a hole in the fence. She immediately let us know and did her best to block the escape route! Highly recommend Shannon!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including a German Shepherd, Husky, Pitbull, Cocker Spaniel, and a Beagle. My pet care journey began in Texas, and continued after I moved to Florida, where I’ve regularly sat for friends, family, and neighbors. Whether it’s going on walks, providing enrichment, or simply giving belly rubs and love, I always make sure every dog feels safe and cared for. I’m comfortable with strong breeds, energetic pups, and senior pets alike. I’m available for walks and drop-in visits on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 6–11 AM and 3–10 PM. If you’re planning in advance, feel free to reach out about other days or times — I’ll do my best to accommodate! Animals have always held a special place in my heart. I’ve cared for senior dogs who required medication multiple times a day, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for. I love playing fetch, tug-of-war, and going on long walks — I take my own German Shepherd on a 4-mile walk every day! Your dog will be treated like family, and their comfort and happiness will always come first.

“Jenni did an amazing job with our kitties while we were out of town! She was prompt and sent great pictures and updates, and I always felt that they were being very well cared of. I will definitely use her again!”


About: Besides having raised and cared for my own cats and dogs, I worked in a kennel for years. I walked, feed, cleaned and played with our animal guests. From bottle feedings to administering medications, there is not much that I have not experienced and enjoyed doing while engaged with my own and other people's pets. I dispense my own pet care routines in the morning, midday and evening hours daily. A client's pet care routine will be carried out according to their preference. Any reasonable special needs will be considered and can be discussed. I have two indoor adult cats in my large apartment. One is very active, curious and social and he needs playtime every day. The other one is less active, less social and aloof. Nonetheless, both kitties look forward to their brushing times every day. Once they are satisfied they go to their favorite areas to cat nap or sunbathe near the window and watch birds, squirrels and the busy waterway out back. When pet sitting in a client's home, they can expect that the same attention will be given to their pets, so please be sure to point out their favorite toys, brushes and lounging and hiding spots in the home.

About: I have two dogs and two kittens and volunteer at the Humane Society, where I foster kittens and have experience providing medication care. I also have senior pet care experience, having cared for my 13-year-old Chihuahua until recently. I provide a loving, clean environment tailored to each pet’s needs. I work remotely with flexible hours during specific days; and am free most weekends. I provide daily feeding, exercise, playtime, cleaning, and medication for my pets. Whether in my home when fostering or in a client’s home, I create a safe, calm, and clean environment. I ensure secure spaces, closely monitor pets, and follow all care instructions carefully. I prioritize trust through clear communication and treat each pet with patience and respect. Safety and comfort always come first.

“Page is an incredible pet sitter and one of the best by far!! She was very communicative and thorough throughout her visits and I felt 💯💯💯💯 that my beloved cat (male Tabby, age 4) was in great hands. I also like her energy and genuine sense of care. I will definitely be a repeat client whenever I am out of town!”


About: With 29 years of experience caring for animals, my love for pets began in childhood with cats and has grown even deeper as a devoted dog (and cat) mom for the past 10 years. I treat every fur baby as if they were my own, believing that every pet deserves kindness, patience, and genuine affection. My approach is rooted in compassion and extreme attention to detail-I notice the little things that make each animal unique and ensure their needs are always met. Whether it’s a playful kitten or a loyal pup, I create a safe, loving environment where pets feel truly cared for. Your furry family members will always be in gentle, attentive hands with me. I am currently available at your request Monday - Friday and most weekends. For any special accommodations / timing - I’m happy to make myself available! I am happy to come to your home and follow any detailed care/instructions needed for your fur babies to be happy and healthy! My philosophy is to care for your pet as you would so that you can relax and trust that they are happy in your absence :)

About: Please message me if you have any questions, or if you have more than one fur baby so I can accommodate your needs. I like to do a meet and greet first. It’s important for us all to feel comfortable, especially your VIP’s! Your fur baby/babies will be treated like a VIP’s… VERY IMPORTANT PETS! I only take in one or babies from the same home. They will be 100% my focus, as this is my main role. My whole family will give them so much LOVE!!! I am British but have lived in many places. I have lived with dogs and cats since I was born. My 1st cat lady lived until she was 17. I had a beautiful English springer spaniel, liver and white named Sonney. He was awesome. Had a gorgeous grey cat named smokey. We had a energetic cat named Ellie who we rescued from a shelter and we relocated her to Australia from the UK with us. Our most recent love was Shankly. A big beautiful black lab who we adopted in Australia at 8 weeks old.He lived 6 years in Oz, 5 years in the UK and nearly 3 years in Jersey City with us. Sadly he got diagnosed with cancer in January 2021 and we all fought so hard to save him. We sadly lost him in June 2021. He would have been 14 in September 2021. We are a family of pet lovers and happy to share our love, even if only for brief moments with your fury babies. I trained Shankly from him being 8 weeks old and did dog and animal training courses many years ago in Australia. When I was younger I worked in the RSPCA animal shelters. I truly love animals and would take care of your babies like they were my own. Shankly had health problems since he was a puppy with arthritis, so we understand how to take care of animals with medical needs and restrictions. Especially, when Shankly was sick with cancer and had his toe removed we were totally all over his medical needs. Anyway, I would be happy to meet you before hand as an introduction to see if we are all a good fit for eachother. I am a genuine pet lover with experience. I am currently a stay at home mom and love caring for dogs too. I will be able to offer a good amount of attention on your loved ones. 100% attention! We will have a lot of fun together! 🐾❤️ We moved to Fort Lauderdale in 2022.Pets would live in our home with us. I have a fully fenced yard and dog gates up around my house to keep all our visiting fur babies safe. My husband, my 2 kids, daughter is 12 and son who is 9 and me. Both my kids have grown up with a big black Labrador so they know how to act and handle pets. As previously mentioned our dog, Shankly passed in June 2021, we miss him so much but we have a lot of love to give your fur babies! All the fur babies that have stayed with us have all had a great time and we have looked after lots of repeat customers. They become part of our family🐾 We love having special friends stay and it’s even nicer when they return! 🐾 I am a mom and care for people’s fur babies too. I am able to offer lots of attention to your loved ones. Our whole family love animals and we really care for your babies like they are our own. They live inside with our family and we follow your routine. I keep to your feeding instructions and rules to the best of my ability. I want your pets to feel settled,relaxed, happy and most importantly feel loved. I love seeing happy waggy tails! Especially when our repeat customers return and they are so happy to see us all again! Your loved fur babies will be made to feel part of our family. We absolutely love animals! The whole family interact with them. My kids love playing with dogs if that is what they like. We walk them and give lots if cuddles and attention. I really look out for your animals welfare. I genuinely care for their wellbeing. I love seeing them happy. It makes me happy!
