“I honestly cannot say enough amazing things about Monique. From start to finish, she went above and beyond in every possible way. This was by far the best experience I’ve ever had with a pet sitter. She made sure my dog felt completely safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. You can truly tell she has a natural connection with animals and treats them as if they were her own. My dog can be a little particular, and she handled everything with so much patience, care, and attention to detail. My dog loves her 🤩 What I appreciated the most was her communication — she kept me updated throughout the day with messages, photos, and little updates that gave me so much peace of mind. I never once felt worried because I knew my dog was in the best hands. She was also incredibly reliable, punctual, and respectful of my home. Everything was exactly as I left it (if not better!), and she followed all instructions perfectly. It’s not easy to find someone you can fully trust with your pet, but she exceeded all expectations. I would 100% book her again and again without hesitation and highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone truly exceptional. Thank you so much again for taking such incredible care of my baby! 💛”


“Amy is super sweet & so kind with my dog. She was on time and so great at communicating with me ahead of time. Made for easy setting up of the visit. Zip loved her & we can't wait to use her again in the future!”

“We had an awesome experience with William (goes by middle name Logan). One of the big things that caught our attention to his profile was that he is a trusted real estate agent in the area. Logan gave us updates every day, sending us daily pictures of our pups, took them for a long walk and kept them company while we were away. We were nervous being first time users of the app as our pups are like children, and Logan was a perfect option for us. Could not recommend him any higher. Thank you for everything Logan!”

“Alex did great with my boys. They were happy and she helped with my little guys medication. My dane is over 100 pounds and a playful puppy. She kept good communication and was super helpful. We'll definitely book with Alex again.”

“Rebecca was awesome! Daily updates and photos! We were gone for 7 nights, and it was so comforting to know someone was here at our home with our pets. Rebecca was also very receptive to all my crazy instructions and notes and did everything to a T! Will definitely be recommending her to our friends and using here again!”

“Ryan was an absolute awesome sitter for our little Luna. He was very accommodating and came a little early per our request to bond with Luna and give her time to feel comfortable around him. She seemed very comfortable and happy and wanting to play. Ryan was very respectful and helped also keep things tidy , bringing in our packages and mail. We definitely will book with Ryan again for our next trip.”

“Carly did a fantastic job persisting both our cat and dog. She dropped in once a day with our cat and came multiple times to spend time with our 12 year old out. We couldn’t be happier with the service she provided to both pets”

“Christian is fantastic. He stayed with our two dogs for the first time and right away, made me feel at ease. He is quick to respond, very cooperative, polite and it’s evident he really loves animals. I would recommend Christian to anyone in need and will definitely ask him to return!”

“Mariah was absolutely incredible! This was my first time leaving my puppy and she sent so many updates and treated my dog Archer as if he was her own. I would highly recommend her to any dog owner and I will be using her again in the future!”

About: I have 13+ years of hands-on dog care experience and love all animals like they are my own! I have owned and cared for dogs from a very young age and love being around them. I currently have a dachshund named Eddie who is my best friend. He is the sweetest, but also deals with anxiety, so I understand how important patience, consistency, and a calm approach are. Because of that, I’m especially mindful of each dog’s comfort level and routine. I also volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I work with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. This has given me experience handling everything from high-energy dogs to more nervous or reactive ones. I'm located on Harbour Island and can get to wherever in a pinch! I am in between jobs right now so I have an abundance of time to care for your pet or house sitting. My flexible schedule allows me to be active with your pet throughout the day, take them on several walks if needed, and offer extra love and play time! I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and make it a priority to follow your pets routine closely so they feel safe and comfortable. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, basic medication, and reinforcing good leash behavior. I will ensure that your pet is taken care of as if they were my own! I like to provide clients with daily photo and text updates no you never have to worry about them - they are in good hands! I am in between jobs right now so I have an abundance of time to care for your pet or house sitting. My flexible schedule allows me to be available for walks, drop-ins, and sittings throughout the week. I’m based on Harbour Island, so I’m convenient for nearby clients and can be available for midday, afternoon, and evening visits. I’m reliable with timing and make sure your pet’s routine stays consistent. I live in an apartment on Harbour Island and keep things clean, calm, and comfortable for pets. I’m really mindful about safety—especially in an apartment setting—and always keep dogs secure on leash during walks. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and what they need, whether that’s some space or a little extra love. I stick closely to your care instructions (feeding, meds, routines, all of it) and keep you updated so you can feel totally at ease while you’re away.
“Kailee was so lovely to work with- one of my pups is very shy and she came out for Kailee (instead of hiding) faster than she’s ever come out for any sitter before. I knew my girls were in great hands. She sent pictures regularly to keep me up to date with them, took them for walks and was very sweet to them. I could tell they had been very well cared for while I was away. She also left my house so clean and in perfect condition. Can’t recommend her enough and already booked her for a second house sitting booking! Thank you Kailee”

“Rebecca did an amazing job. She stayed with my girls, took them on walks, and went above and beyond to send me photos and videos of them and keep me updated while I was traveling. They absolutely love her and I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats for the past 8 years. Including some who needed extra care. I’m happy to help anyone in need and make sure their pets get all my love and attention. I’m currently a nursing student at the University of Tampa and am flexible with afternoons/mornings during the week. I am also available all day Friday-Sunday. I am experienced with dogs who need to be leashed, have an electric fence in the backyard or that come to when called. I have given baths/groomed, walks, runs, playing catch and cuddles.

This was an outstanding experience! Liz took the time to meet our pets before we made our decision, which gave us peace of mind. Her experience and education in animal care are evident, and she has a natural affinity for animals. Throughout her stay, she kept us updated with regular videos and photos, ensuring we were always informed. We returned to a perfectly clean house…trash taken out, beds stripped, and more. We will definitely book with Liz again as soon as possible!

This is our second time booking with Leah and she is fantastic! She stayed over during our wedding weekend and a few days before one of our little guys hurt his back leg. She kept an eye on him while keeping us updated. Very responsible, great at communicating, left the house clean, 10/10 :)

We had a great experience with Olivia our house sitter over Easter weekend! She took wonderful care of our two golden retrievers, Jackson and Parker, and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout her stay. It was clear the dogs were happy, well-exercised, and comfortable in her car. I’d highly recommend Olivia

Bryson stayed at our house to watch our GSP for the weekend. He kept us updated throughout his time with our dog and took great care of him. Our dog is very high energy so it was great to find a sitter that is used to all types of temperaments. The house was clean when we got back home and he even washed the sheets. We will definitely be asking Bryson to watch our dog again in the future!

I had such a great experience with Kiran! She kept me updated throughout the day and sent lots of pictures of Franklin, which I really appreciated. It gave me so much reassurance seeing how happy and comfortable he was. She was very responsive and even accommodated having a friend pick him up, which made everything super easy. She took him on long walks, played with him, and made sure he was entertained and well cared for the entire time. It truly gave me peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands while I was away on vacation. I would absolutely book with her again.
