About: As an enthusiastic and dedicated dog walker, I bring joy, exercise, and companionship to your furry friends. A lifelong dog lover, I've had dogs since I was a kid and deeply understand their needs and behaviors. With a commitment to their well-being, I ensure every walk is safe, fun, and tailored to your dog's needs. Trust me to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. Aldo I’m a freelance dog trainer! Pet care is a central part of my routine. Each day, I schedule specific times for walking, playing, and caring for dogs to ensure they get the exercise and attention they need. My weekly plan includes regular walking sessions and any necessary feeding tasks. Growing up with dogs, pet care is my passion. In my home, I create a safe and comfortable environment for pets, ensuring they have plenty of space, toys and a cozy resting area. I maintain a consistent feeding and exercise schedule and provide lots of love and attention. In clients' homes, I follow their specific instructions to maintain the pets' routines and comfort. I ensure the pets are fed, walked, and cared for according to their usual schedule, providing personalized attention to meet their unique needs.

About: Hi there! I’m Kevin, your local dog walker based right off the beautiful New River in Fort Lauderdale. I specialize in dog walks and drop-in visits for dogs living in condos and the surrounding neighborhoods. I’ve always had dogs in my life, and caring for them has been second nature for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I’ve walked and pet sat for the dogs of friends, neighbors, and family—treating every one like my own. I currently have a Bichon Frise named Murray, who’s not just my pet, but my daily sidekick and constant reminder of how important it is to give every dog the love and care they deserve. If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog with the same care and attention they receive at home, I’d love to be their new best friend! Whether it’s a quick midday walk, a feeding visit while you’re at work, or just some love and attention while you’re away, I’m here to help. I offer flexible daytime and evening availability and am reliable, responsible and passionate about keeping your dog happy, safe, and active. When I walk or care for your dog, I give them my full attention—making sure they feel safe, loved and comfortable. I stick to their routines, offer plenty of affection, and make sure they get the exercise, play or rest they need. Whether we’re out on a walk or relaxing at home, your dog will be treated with kindness, patience and care. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry companion.

About: I CANT GO ON VACATION WITHOUT SEEING PHOTOS AND VIDEOS OF MY ANIMALS SO YOU SHOULDN'T EITHER! I will happily send you lots of videos and pictures of your animals throughout my time with your animals. I love to see all the different quirks that’s make them who they are and want you to know they are healthy and happy to ease any worries while you’re away. ABOUT ME: I've owned and taken care of dogs since I was born. I cannot remember a time there weren't at least 2 in our house at a time. I currently own two pitbulls I got in college and love them like children. Would love the opportunity to love on your pups! I have experience in all types of situations with dogs and will make sure to ask any questions in order to respect your home and animals as everyone is different. VERY FLEXIBLE: I am available for your animals when needed. Very flexible with my daily hours. For stays - I am flexible and work from home. Just need wifi to be provided and will be able to attend to your pets. I want to follow any schedule and rules you have implemented to keep consistency and eliminate as much anxiety for you and your animals as possible. I realize it’s not easy to leave your pets so I will make sure to keep you updated and send photos as much as you’d like. I like to over communicate and ask questions before doing things in your home or with your animals in order to respect both and keep the trust you have given me.

“Christina took great care of our kitties while we were on a trip. Highly recommend her services!”


“This was Cherie’s second time watching our cat Polly and didn’t think her first go around could be better until it was this time. Her reliability is unmatched and is totally and completely loving and caring for our cat. Really appreciate how much she cares for Polly and Polly feels the same!”



“We had Neil do drop in visits to watch our two cats while we were away on vacation and Neil was fantastic. He played with our cats, fed them, and scooped the litter. Neil sent us a detailed summary after each visit with pictures. I know our cats were well taken care of with Neil. I would definitely hire Neil again!”


“Tish took such wonderful care of my Harper. He was happy and secure when I came home to him. He loved spending time playing with her and appreciated how much love she gave him.”


About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up with multiple wonderful dogs who were my best friends throughout my childhood and teenage years. They taught me so much about unconditional love, loyalty, and joy. I’m passionate about caring for pets and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Flexible availability for pet care, including last-minute requests. Your pet’s comfort is my priority. I’m happy to adjust my schedule to make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need. Spacious home and fenced backyard for safe play and relaxation — your pet will always be supervised and cared for like family. I will treat your pet like my own, ensuring a secure and happy stay.

“Mara made an instant connection with my shy girl Prima! She did a great job taking care of Prima while I was away and always made sure to send me videos or pictures when she was doing her drop in to visit and care for Prima. Her communication was good and she was flexible with things like scheduling the meet and greet and returning the keys to my apartment.”


About: I have been around pets since I was a kid, from turtles to parrots! My family love animals and we all have pets. I am currently a co-Mom to a lovely orange tabby named Neo. I have often cared for my sister’s or my mom’s dogs and cats (between the whole fam we have 5 cats and 6 dogs!) Although I am new to officially pet sitting, rest assured your babies will be in good hands. I will take care of them as if they were my own. I currently have an open schedule and can accommodate most schedules at this time. However, this could change depending on work schedules so I will update this as needed. For now, I’m flexible. For over nights we could discuss specifics, but I am open to spending time at the home to help ease any stress your pet may have in your absence. For walks I can pick up and walk your pet around your neighborhood or take them to a park. For non-overnight home visits I can come over and depending on which service you want, walk or just let them out to do their business. I can also feed, give meds, and do play time. All walks, home visits are in 30min increments.

“Regan was incredible! Super communicative, my cat absolutely loved her. I will be reaching out to Regan the next time I go out of town. Cannot recommend enough”

Kevin M.
“I highly recommend Kevin as a reliable and caring pet sitter and dog walker. He was my go-to person for my dog, Annie, before I moved from South Florida, and I truly couldn't have asked for a better person to entrust with her care. Annie was always excited to see him, which gave me so much peace of mind. Knowing that she was genuinely happy in his care made it so much easier to be away from her. He’s also a fantastic communicator—always responsive, punctual, and easy to coordinate with. Whether it was a daily walk or overnight pet sitting, I always felt confident that Annie was in good hands. He’s not only dependable and professional, but also clearly loves the animals he works with. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets”

Regan was incredible! Super communicative, my cat absolutely loved her. I will be reaching out to Regan the next time I go out of town. Cannot recommend enough

Jessica took great care of Roxy while we were away. She was loving and caring. Jessica sent photos everyday and spent time doing Roxys 2 favorite things. Treats and brushes. I will be booking Jessica next time we go out of town!

The saddest day! We will miss you so much. Good luck with the move and thank you so much for always taking the best care of our kitties. We never had to worry- always knew they were in the BEST hands!!!!

I can't recommend enough! They were absolutely amazing—super communicative, responsive, and always available when I needed an update or had a question. They took such great care of my French bulldog, going above and beyond to make sure both of us felt totally at ease while I was away. It gave me such peace of mind knowing my girl was in such capable and caring hands. Highly, highly recommend! Thank you both!!!🙏🏻

Krystal did a wonderful job taking care of my two babies. She did two visits a day to my home to feed walk and take care of my babies. I got home last night and they were both happy and healthy and very well taken care of.

Abby was fantastic! She took care of everything with great attention and made sure we were always informed. Communication was clear and timely, which gave us real peace of mind. We’re so happy to have found her and would gladly book with her again!

I can’t say enough how much Dawn is amazing! My life depends on her! She is simply the best in pet sitting!
Laura is AMAZING!!! You can tell how much she truly loves animals. We needed to use her services for the holiday weekend, which then turned into more time away due to a family emergency. She was so accommodating and we were able to add additional days. I felt at ease being away knowing that Laura was taking such great care of our girl.

Aubri is always great! This is either her 3rd or 4th sit, and Sabina always is on her cutest behavior with her (as evidenced by the pics she sends!) so I know that Sabina likes her. Aubri sends detailed updates each visit and is always kind and professional. I will continue to book with her any chance I get.

Max is amazing! He treats our special girl like family! He’s an effective communicator and I never have to worry when I know Max is taking care of our pup. He goes above and beyond every time! We are so happy to have found Max and will hands down refer him to anyone who needs a pet care taker. 🫶🏼🐶

Maricruz was reliable and thorough in caring for our Rosita. She consistently completed all tasks during her 30 minute visits - refreshing food and water in clean dishes, maintaining the litter box, and even managing to give our shy Rosita some attention. We appreciated her dependability and attention to detail, especially with our sometimes timid cat. Would recommend Maricruz for your feline care needs!

Heather was amazing!!! She was able to help us out last minute and was very communicate and flexible with us! Fishy loved her!! Thank you so much Heather!! Highly recommend her 🐾🩵

The best on Rover! We have tried multiple petsitters and Catherine is the most thoughtful and reliable petsitter we have found. Truly a gem and highly recommend!

Our Great Danes love Tich! She is reliable and always goes the extra mile. You can really tell she cares about your pets. Would definitely recommend!

Allison watched our cat for a week and was great! Sent pics and communicated everything clearly. Would definitely have her care for Mimo again! ☺️

Great dog sitting service! Angelika was attentive and sent regular updates. Our dog was so happy and well cared for. Would definitely book again!

We had such a great experience with Inna over Christmas that I ended up asking if she could watch the cats for New Year’s. Again, it was a very last-minute request and Inna kindly accepted. She is tidy, professional, communicative, and both the cats love her. I highly recommend her.
