“Shari is terrific! She calmed my two young pups as they are not yet a year old and were very nervous about new person. When I returned they were happy to see me, looked great and were even more calm. She worked some kind of magic on two very energetic puppies. I recommend her highly.”

“Sasha was fabulous! She got my cat, who is very shy and NEVER interacts with people he doesn't know, to come out and play and let her pet him on the very first visit! She was super communicative throughout the week, sending multiple pictures and an update each visit. I had peace of mind that my little one was in very good hands and will definitely book her again!”

“Krista was wonderful with our two tabby’s. They both are usually shy around new people, however her loving energy won them both over immediately. I highly recommend Krista, she went above and beyond caring for our cats.”

“My little cat has epilepsy and some loss of vision. Linda has been great administrating her meds, having patience with her sometimes unpredictable behaviors, and communicating with me. It’s supportive knowing she’s in good care when I’m gone.”

About: I have owned dogs and/or cats my entire life. Our animals are truly part of our family. At our house snuggling and playtime is always included. I've raised puppies, cared for our senior pets and cherished every moment in between. I currently work part time from home and have a great deal of time and flexibility to care for your furry family member. Early drop offs and late night pickups can easily be arranged if needed. I am home 95% of the days and have a fenced in back yard with easy access for your pup to go in and out as much or little as possible. I also have a big, friendly dog to keep your pup company. Our house is there house where snuggling on the furniture is common and cleaning up messes is no big deal.

About: Hello! My name is Ashley, and I graduated from the University of Florida with a degree in Biology (Pre-Professional). I was previously planning on applying to Veterinary school. However, I am now a first year pharmacy student at CU. Caring for and helping animals is a passion of mine, and I think our four-legged furry friends deserve the very best! I have two 50lb. dogs and a 30lb. of my own, as well as a 7lb. cat. They are all spoiled with treats and love, but they're well trained and well behaved. I have interned at a rescue shelter, where I was in charge of animal well care. I administered vaccines, gave daily medications, and even syringe/bottle fed small animals (including an abandoned squirrel). I also volunteered at an animal hospital for 18 months and worked directly with the head veterinarian. I have traveled to volunteer at a spay and neuter clinic in a small, rural village in Guatemala, where some people traveled for days to get their beloved pets the care they needed. For 3 months I worked as a Veterinary technician at a large south Florida rescue and helped care for the 300+ dogs on site. Even though I no longer plan to pursue a career in veterinary medicine, I still love working with animals and would love to continue working with them.

“Annette has been so wonderful wi the my 3 dogs. She is such a positive, encouraging person- I’m so glad to have met her and for her to help with my dogs.”

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and grew up caring for Saint Bernards and English Mastiffs, so I’m extremely comfortable with dogs of all sizes tiny to giant breeds. I have over 10 years of hands on pet care experience, and neighbors, friends, and family have always trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like they’re my own. I’m currently a Division I athlete on break, which means I have plenty of free time, a flexible schedule, and lots of energy for long walks, playtime, or just hanging out with your pet. Whether your dog is a senior who needs patience and calm care, a puppy who needs structure, or anything in between, I’m here to help. I truly love all animals and will make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for. Let me know what your pet needs. I’m excited to meet them! My schedule is very open right now since I’m am home on break, which gives me plenty of flexibility and availability throughout the week. I’m free mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and I’m able to adapt to whatever routine your pet is used to whether that’s early walks, midday check ins, or nighttime feedings. I’m also available for last minute bookings or changes, and I’m happy to work around your travel or work schedule to make sure your pet gets consistent, reliable care. I always make safety my first priority, whether I’m in your home or mine. I stick to your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable, and I’m careful with things like feeding times, walks, and any special instructions you give me. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, and I never rush anything. I’m patient and gentle with every animal, and I take the time to get to know what makes them feel safe and happy. Your pet will always be cared for like they’re my own.

I also treat homes with the same care, watering plants, keeping things tidy, and making sure you return to both a happy dog and a peaceful space.
