“Stephanie and Elizabeth were very accommodating. They watched our dogs for a long weekend. When we came home, both dogs were relaxed and happy. We feel like they treated both our home and pups with respect.”
“Michael and Shanna took care of Renny while I was gone all week. I really appreciated the updates and peace of mind while I was traveling. They remembered to leave lights on for him before I got home too.”
About: I am a teacher and over the summer am home and open the a free schedule all day. I also love dogs and love to get exercise in like taking a long walk. I am a teacher who is on summer break and will be home to care for dogs of all sizes. I have 1 dog who is friendly and loves to play. He loves his Daily walks. Pets are welcome to roam in a huge fenced in backyard with plenty of shade. They are open to roam free in the house and snuggle up on the coach when in the home.
“I am so impressed with Jamie! we had a change of plans and needed to leave very early. Jaime was an accommodated and came to our house at 6:45 AM on the nose! She is kind and caring.

“Could not recommend María enough. She will go above and beyond for you and your pets and treat them like her own. I left my puppy for the first time and María took such good care of him. When I got home he was clean (she had bathed him!), happy, healthy, and had a fat little stomach which means he was eating good while I was gone, which was a huge worry of mine given how small he is. She hand fed him to make sure he ate and was getting enough food in. I am so grateful for her and her kindness towards animals. María is extremely trustworthy, kind, and caring. Please give her the opportunity to care for your furry friends, you will not regret it!!! Thank you so much María for taking care of my baby. If needed, I will absolutely be using her services again.”
“Christine was just wonderful with my Yorkie. Even though he’s stubborn and old, she gave him love and took such good care of him. She’s a wonderful woman I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Lindsey was super! Puppies were happy and well cared for while we were gone and we got regular updates even over a busy Thanksgiving week. Lindsey is an excellent communicator, asking questions about things along the way both prior to and during the pet sitting sessions. She took nice care of the house, and was just wonderful to work with. THANK YOU LINDSEY!”
“The best decision we could have made! I had never left my baby with anyone before, and I did it with Mauricio. He's incredibly good, and communication is excellent. I recommend him 200%. THANK YOU!! I'm sure we'll be back.”
About: I grew up with a variety of pets. As a kid we had cows, horses, ducks, chickens, cats and dogs, as well as many more. I am in school working on my prerequisites for a Veterinary Sciences degree, so you can be sure that your best friend will be in the best care available!😁 I work full time from around 9am-5pm and can work outside of those hours, I wake up around 5am every day so I can be with your pet early and late. I am available for overnight appointments as well. Generally for pet sitting, before I go to work I’ll feed your animals, take them on a walk and prepare for when I’m gone, when I get off work around 2-3pm, I’ll come back and take them out for a run or play with them, and stay with them for a while for some cuddles or just for company. For drop ins I can do 3 per day, one at around 5am, one at 3pm, and one at 9pm. For walks my schedules the same. I have a blue Doberman and Shepard/Cane Corso mix so I can be comfortable around every breed no problem. I love hanging out with animals and having some playtime or going on runs with them. If they aren’t that social I can still let them outside and just be there as company for them while I do my schoolwork.
About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats for several years and truly understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. As a pet owner myself, I have hands-on experience with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, daily walks, playtime, enrichment, and lots of affection. While I’m newer to professional pet sitting, I have real-life experience caring for my own animals and helping friends and family with theirs. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable caring for pets of different temperaments — from energetic pups to independent or shy cats. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I currently work part-time and create my own schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, including afternoons and evenings. Because of my flexible schedule, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods and will receive consistent care and attention. I have a fully fenced backyard with grass for safe outdoor play and live within walking distance of a dog park for extra exercise (with owner approval). Inside my home, pets are supervised and kept in a calm, clean environment. I can easily follow specific feeding schedules, crate routines, medication instructions, or litter box preferences. For cats, I ensure litter boxes stay clean, provide enrichment and playtime, and respect their space if they prefer quiet companionship. My goal is to create a safe, loving environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away.
About: I've taken care of cats, dogs, and exotics for many years. Well versed in pet care for any breed and kind of animal. Big fan and friend of all pets alike. I am currently an online college student, so I have plenty of time to play and care for your furry family members, with extra love! I have a very friendly but shy chihuahua who would be separated from your furry friend in my home. I can uphold any rules you may follow in your own home for your pets as need be.
“This was the first time I had ever left Luna alone and had someone stay at my house with her. Vanessa was awesome and I got pictures every day along with text messages telling me what all she did during the day. I will definitely be using her again. 🙏🙏🙏”
“Angie is awesome! I just got home and found everything just as I had left it. And when I had to leave for vacation, my sweet girl wasn’t feeling the best. Angie took everything in stride and took such good care of my pup while I was gone. I absolutely would not hesitate to have her back.”
About: My name is Rachel and I am a college graduate of RU. I earned a Bachelor's degree in Marketing with a minor in Business Analytics. I am currently in the process of studying for my Florida Teaching Certification. I am a Pre-K teacher at the moment. My love for teaching young children and education is something I pride myself on. With that being said, the school year wraps up May 21st, so I am looking for summer work while I have time off from school! For the entirety of my life, I have been around dogs. My family has had two miniature pinschers and a Jack Russel. I have dog sat for families with Golden Doodles, Australian Shepards, Golden Retrievers, Daschaunds - the list goes on! I am open to staying the night to watch dogs while their owners are away, coming to walk dogs during the day or even just keeping them company when need be. I would love to learn more about how I can provide help with watching your dogs in the future. I am currently off for the summer! I will possibly be getting a part time job in addition to dog sitting, but my schedule is super open and flexible! I treat your dogs just like mine - with lots of love and respect! I always make sure to keep the dog’s schedule on track in terms of eating, using the potty, playtime, etc.

McKayla was absolutely amazing while house-sitting and caring for my dog, Mable, and my cat, Kaiah. Mable is still a puppy with a ton of energy, so she can definitely be a handful, but McKayla was incredibly patient, attentive, and wonderful with her. She also took great care of Kaiah and made sure both pets were happy, comfortable, and well cared for while I was away. What really stood out was her communication. She sent so many photos and updates throughout my trip, which gave me complete peace of mind knowing my pets were in great hands. She was always easy to reach, quick to respond, and kept me informed the entire time. Since she stayed in my home, I also appreciated how respectful and responsible she was. Everything was clean, tidy, and exactly as I left it when I returned. Coming home to happy pets and a well-cared-for house made all the difference. I would absolutely book McKayla again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, communicative, and caring pet sitter. She went above and beyond, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
Kaitlyn was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our dogs and cats while we were away, and gave us complete peace of mind. Her communication was excellent from start to finish, she kept us updated with messages and photos, which we really appreciated. We will definitely be booking with her again!
I'd use Shanna and her husband any time. Watched my guy for three nights at my place. Great communication -- they sent me updates after every meal and walk that he took his meds ate, peed, pooped, and photos each time. Exactly what I need to make me feel like he's being well taken care of. Five stars!
Valentina was outstanding: a true dog lover, very responsible, she asked all the right questions in the beginning, followed all requests, but also went above and beyond to take care of our 2 large babies. In addition, worth mentioning: this is the cleanest our house has been left by a dog sitter. Highly recommend Valentina to anyone!
Sara was fantastic and cared for our anxious furry friend incredibly well - taking him everywhere, despite not having to and providing updates throughout the day to give us peace of mind. Sara is friendly, reliable and trustworthy with both our home and our pet. Highly recommend.
If I could give a 100 ⭐️ rating for Cole I definitely would. I had a family reunion in another state to attend and my Molly is not only my emotional support animal but she’s also getting older and dealing with senior dog issues with hearing and seeing and getting weak in her back legs and I was panicking about leaving her in a kennel when my concierge sent me some people who could stay at my home and take care of her I carefully reviewed the list and immediately Cole stood out and I had a feeling in my heart he’s the one! We met before leaving town so he could meet Molly and she would get to know him a little and not be afraid. He kept in constant contact while we were gone and sent pictures of her cuddling with him. My heart just melted 🥰 We got home from our trip and Molly wasn’t expecting us and barked and backed up like we were strangers lol because she wanted Cole back. My husband and I are so very grateful and thankful for Cole and would highly recommend him for anyone who may need a dog/home sitter he’s a genuine person who truly loves and cares about our furry kids 🐶💖 I don’t know how to thank him enough for his kindness and love for our girl while we were gone.🙏🏻
Jennifer was on time for our meet and greet which says a lot to me regarding reliability! She sent photos and texts every day and made us feel rest assured that the pets were well taken care of. We plan to hire her in the near future and feel relieved to finally find someone we can rely on.
