“Shafika was amazing. She surpassed our expectations. She sent several updates through the day and left our house impeccable. We can't wait to use her again!”


“Meghan has been wonderful with Lyla from the beginning. Whether it’s taking her for a walk or watching her overnight. She is the first person I’ve felt comfortable enough to have watch Lyla over night, aside from family. We have adopted another dog to the family & without hesitation I knew he would be in the best care with Meghan. I highly recommend having her watch your pets!”


“Katie was a delight. She was very comfortable with our older lab and made him comfortable. She was very responsive and helped us on short notice. We will definitely have her take care of loved one in the future!”


“She was GREAT with my babies and she took really good care of my home. She even contacted me about an issue one of them was having but had already took steps to help fix it. I’ll definitely use her again. She’s the best.”


About: Hi! I’m Jillian, a current master’s student at Florida State with a deep love for animals. I grew up with two cats and have fostered five dogs over the past four years, so I have plenty of hands-on experience with different pet personalities. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. If you'd prefer to meet or go over instructions beforehand, I’m happy to come by to make sure everything goes smoothly. I’m not only an animal lover, but also very reliable and detail-oriented. Feel free to reach out with any questions or pet care needs! I am a student living near Florida State's campus and taking classes. That being said, I can do drop-ins during the day, spend the night with advance notice, and work out a schedule that works best for you. My classes are in the mornings and afternoons, depending on the day, so please reach out to me for more information and specific schedules. I am there for the pet's needs, so I am willing to adapt to the schedule provided by the owners. Whether that be neighborhood walks, going to a pet park, or spending a certain amount of time with the animal. I am very flexible and can be there for your animal's needs,

“Seanna took wonderful care of our home and pets while we were away for nine days. She even ended up staying over an extra day last minute when we didn’t make our flight connection coming home. Seanna dealt with unexpected issues, including unexpected cleanup on one of our dogs had to run in with a rodent in our backyard! She also communicated well and sent us cute photos of We appreciate all of her care for our pets.”


“Jordan makes going out of town easy and stress free. Jordan watched our three pets for 10 days while we were abroad on our honeymoon. Longest we have ever been away. Got daily updates, our very shy cat hangs outs and we highly recommend Jordan for any house sitting and pet watching needs. Will be continuing to use Jordan!!! Thanks a million”


“Kylie did an incredible job with housesitting my two dogs and my cat while I was on an extended work trip! She was very attentive, sent daily photos, videos, and text updates, asked important questions when necessary, and left my home even cleaner than when I left. If you're looking for a pet sitter, you really will struggle to find someone who does a better job--and at a reasonable rate. Highly recommend!”


“Sarah was very nice and respectful. She sent us updates with lots of cute pictures of our fur babies. One of our cats gets a little nervous around new people and won't always go to her food dish so Sarah made sure to find her and bring the dish to her for every feeding. We returned and our house was actually cleaner than we had left it. We had left a dirty dish or two in the sink and she had washed them for us. I would recommend Sarah to anyone in need of a sitter.”

“Here's a simple review template for a dog sitter: "I highly recommend Sebastian for dog sitting services! They took wonderful care of my 2 dogs and cats while I was away and went above and beyond with some circumstances that were let’s say ‘less than ideal’. Sebastian was reliable, trustworthy, and showed genuine love and attention to my pet. I received regular updates and photos, which put my mind at ease. My dog was happy and relaxed when I returned home. Five stars and thank you Sebastian!”


About: I've been taking care of dogs for the last 10 years but professionally for two. Whether it's by my neighbors, my friends, my family or my clients, they have always been able to rely on me to feed, walk, groom, take care of their dogs whether it was for the afternoon or for a week-long vacation, I've never let them down. I'm currently a full-time student at Tallahassee State College, my schedule varies depending on the day, but I am typically available on the weekends and anytime after 1:00 p.m. on the weekdays.No matter what day it is. Rain, sleet shine or snow I will always make sure to find time for your pet! I love to take care of all animals! I always ensure that I keep their personalities and routines properly cared for. I do have quite a few pets at home which makes boarding difficult. I do not have a problem coming over to a client's house to take care of their pets. Where I treat their house with the utmost respect.

About: Hey there! I've grown up around dogs of all shapes and sizes, from playful pups to cuddly seniors. Because of that, I'm super comfortable handling dogs with different needs, whether it's separation anxiety or just general high anxiety. I'm all about creating a calm and happy environment for your furry friend! Incorporating pet care into my daily schedule is seamless and enjoyable. I prioritize dedicated time slots for feeding, walking, and playing with the pets under my care, ensuring their needs are met.By integrating pet care into my routine, I create a balanced and fulfilling lifestyle that benefits both myself and the animals I look after. In clients' homes, I focus on making pets feel secure and cherished. I stick closely to the owner's instructions for meals, meds, and exercise, keeping things familiar and stress-free for the animals. I also make sure to spend quality time playing, cuddling, and keeping their space neat and clean. My goal is to give both the pets and their owners peace of mind by being respectful and attentive to their needs.

“Caleb did a fantastic job sitting at my house with my dog Dixie warmed up to Caleb immediately. Caleb is a very respectful young man and took great care of my dog and house. He sent me plenty of pictures and took my dog for many long walks. Great job caleb!”


About: I've had dogs for nearly my entire life and enjoy being around and spending time with all dogs I've ever met. When you have to be away or just need a caring pair of hands I can be there for you. I'm looking to make this a part time effort to help out people who need caring hands. I am typically available just about anytime night or day. We have 3 cats at our home (Beef Broccoli and Brisquette) as well as a German Shepard Husky mix (Moxxi). While Beef prefers to live outside and passively engages with us the way outside cats tend to do. Our indoor buddies are happy playful and surprisingly talkative, they get their flea meds bimonthly as we rarely have flea issues.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I can remember. I have always had animals growing up from cows, horses, goats, pigs, chickens, cats, and dogs. I grew a huge attachment to all of my animals and have continued to love them throughout the years. I currently have 2 dogs and a horse who boards at a different location due to me not having the proper land currently. My dogs are my LIFE! I make in home healthy treats for them, take them on daily walks, park trips, and go road tripping with them as I can. I do not have any children so I treat my dogs like my children. My mom has always told my dogs “you hit the jackpot” when we get a new one. I have one rescue pitbull and one aussiedoodle that we had as a puppy. They are intelligent, friendly with other animals, and welcoming of any dogs into their home:) We are a happy home and cannot wait to meet your happy pups! I work a full time flexible schedule so this makes it where I can attend to any schedule if I am made aware a week in advance! I take my pups on daily walks in the morning and evening. During the evening time is where I work on training and where they get spoiled with many treats!:) My home has a fenced in backyard that is a small backyard with grass and space to run. I will tend to your animals, by feeding them on their regimented schedule, taking on daily long walks, any medication needs, and any other needs your dog may have! I provide great supervision with our pups as we keep all access to any trash cans out of reach due to our puppy still curious of all things:) You can guarantee your pup will be safe, happy, and healthy in our home!
