“Colleen did an excellent job taking care of our 3 Beagle fur babies! Each pup has a unique personality and she gave them each the attention they needed. They all ate while we were gone which was shocking, usually they don’t. She shared lots of pics and kept us informed on their care! Highly recommend her!”


“Cathleen was great. She watched Otis for 6.5 hours in our home while we went to an event. Felt comfortable with having Cathleen in our home and very comfortable with her watching Otis. We will book Cathleen for our next event!”


“Allyson is amazing with our dog and cat! When we first moved here, I was timid about leaving my animals. Allyson helped me feel at ease with her fast responses, reliability, and daily photos- my animals love her and get to maintain their routine while we are away. We have used Allyson multiple times for trips lasting over a week to just drop-in visits. She always shows up and loves our boys and we are so grateful to have found someone like her. We will absolutely be booking with her again and full-heartedly recommend hiring Allyson for your next vacation!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life—from growing up with dogs, birds, and fish to building freshwater aquariums in high school. I now have two cats, a dog, and a bearded dragon of my own! I hold a bachelor’s degree in Marine Science from FGCU and completed an internship working hands-on with reptiles and marine life. With over a decade of personal and academic experience, I provide attentive, knowledgeable care for pets of all types, including senior animals, exotics, and pets with special needs. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life—I currently care for my own dog, two cats, a bearded dragon, and multiple aquarium setups. Feeding, cleaning, enrichment, and exercise are part of my everyday routine, so incorporating care for other pets feels like second nature. Whether it’s a morning walk, administering medications, or just providing companionship, I genuinely enjoy making animals feel safe, loved, and well-cared for. In my home, I maintain a clean, pet-safe environment with designated areas for feeding, play, and rest. I follow strict routines to keep pets healthy and stress-free, including scheduled feeding, regular cleaning, and daily interaction or exercise. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines completely—sticking to feeding schedules, maintaining litter boxes or enclosures, offering walks, playtime, and any specific care needs. I always prioritize safety, communication, and consistency to ensure pets feel comfortable and cared for in their familiar environment.

About: - Always home to keep an eye on your pet - Large fenced in backyard for exercise - Able to keep pets separated within the house if need be - Experience with administrating medicine - Plenty of toys and things to do in and outside of home We are a couple with plenty of availability for your pet. We both work from home with very flexible schedules and always have the weekends off. We have 2 dogs of our own.

We love connecting with animals as each one is different and we have the time and energy to do so.

About: I have had all different types of pets throughout my life in both childhood and adulthood, and with that experience in addition to being a former zoo keeper, I am both familiar with and comfortable with almost any species. Whether you have a puppy/kitten or elderly dog/cat, I am familiar with and comfortable with catering to every life stage and energy level, including special care and some medical care. Cat, dog, rabbit, ferret, snake, bearded dragon, frog, fish - if you have it, I love it! I work from home a majority of the week and have flexible hours. I am available for drop ins and walks anytime Friday-Tuesday, and then in the morning and late afternoon/evenings on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Our pets are only with us for so long, so I make it a point to make any time away from their favorite humans as fun and enriching as possible!


About: Taking care of animals isn't a chore to me, it's a passion. I really do see the uniqueness in each dog or cat. Growing up I would pet sit for elderly and sick foster dogs with many special needs, it really impressed upon me the need these animals have for care and connection. Im separated from my own fur baby as he lives in Oregon with my parents, but he is special needs. Three times a day he needs eye drops administered to him and before I moved away I was the main administrator of his medications. Im happy to play with your dogs and their favorite toys if you'd like, and glad to spend extra time giving them snuggles and love. I really do love dogs and I can't wait to meet yours. I promise I'll care of your animals as if they were my own. I have class part time so I'll have plenty of time to care for and play with your pet. Im usually available at 2:00 pm to start care during weekdays but my schedule is flexible, especially during the summer time. Overnights and mornings as needed. Whether I’m caring for my pets in my home or your pets in yours, I treat each animal with the same attention and love I’d give my own. I follow their routine closely—feeding, walking, playtime, and any medications—while keeping a watchful eye on their behavior and wellbeing. Under my supervision, pets enjoy a safe, clean, and comforting space with plenty of affection and engagement. I’m committed to providing consistent, reliable, and thoughtful care so every pet feels secure, happy, and well-cared for.

Renee J.
“Renee watched our two cats while we were gone for a week & she did a wonderful job. One of our cats gets medicine and Renee made sure she got it every day. She also played with them, gave treats, and loved on them like we would! 👍🏼♥️ The videos and pictures she sent kept us updated and knowing our babies were well cared for. We live in Titusville. Renee is a great pet sitter providing wonderful care & services. 😊🐈⬛🐈💕 She has also watched our friend’s dogs. I highly recommend Renee at Livin the Ruff Life for any pet activity, dog walking, overnights, drop ins, etc.”


Adrian H.
“Adrian took care of my senior dog, who needed a lot of extra TLC, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better. He was so patient, gentle, and completely in tune with what my dog needed. I also have a cat who’s usually super skittish around new people but she loved Adrian from the very start. There’s just something about his energy that animals trust. You can tell he genuinely cares for them, not just as a job, but from the heart. I’d trust him with my pets again in a heartbeat.”


Kaila C.
“Kaila is one of the kindest and most responsible human beings I know. The kind of person who can anticipate needs before they even need to be met, who will sacrifice their own comfort for the comfort of others, who constantly operates from a place of generosity and protectiveness. Kaila has a warmth to them that is lacking in most people. Any pet in their care will be dutifully cared for and safe.”


Debra W.

Took extra care of hand feeding her. Also carried Patty outside for fresh air. She was always on time. Debra would come visit with me after Party passed over the rainbow. I knew she'll be a great asset for your company and clients.”

Ali B.
“I am writing to enthusiastically recommend Ali Bradley as a pet sitter and dog walker. I have had the pleasure of knowing Ali for 5 years, and I can say with confidence that she is one of the most caring, responsible, and knowledgeable individuals when it comes to animals. What sets Ali apart is her extensive understanding of animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Whether it’s an energetic puppy, a shy senior cat, or a strong-willed rescue, she knows exactly how to approach and care for each pet’s individual needs. I’ve witnessed firsthand how quickly animals warm up to her and how excited my own pets get every time she walks through the door. Their tails wag and purrs start instantly—it’s clear they feel loved, safe, and happy in her care. Ali is incredibly punctual and professional, always communicating clearly and promptly. Whether it's providing updates during care or discussing schedule changes, she keeps pet parents informed and reassured. I’ve entrusted her with the care of my pets many times and have always come home to content, well-cared-for animals. Above all, Ali Bradley is someone you can trust completely. Knowing my pets are in such capable and compassionate hands brings me immense peace of mind. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone seeking exceptional pet care. Sincerely, Abigail Thompson”




Ursula C.
“Ursula petsat my dog for 2 weeks earlier this summer! The dog in question, Juniper, is very high maintenance but Ursula managed her care well. Ursula was able to follow instructions and make her food weekly, feed her twice a day, give her probiotics on schedule, and walk her early morning and afternoon. Ursula also kept up with her grooming needs and even brushed her teeth! Cannot recommend more!”
