“Isabella provided so much peace of mind when she took care of my little cat. I appreciated the daily pictures and easy communication - she went above and beyond in every way. Highly recommend!”


“Jessica was amazing with our dogs for drop in care while we were at Disney. I was not expecting her to send pictures and videos of the dogs so that was so nice to get live updates. She was very accommodating, and so professional. If you’re looking for a dog sitter and need someone on base then look no further. We will be booking her again this summer and we will have zero worries about our fur babies because we know they will be well taken care of.”



“Rebecca was awesome! We contacted her last minute and she was able to take care of our two fur babies. She kept us updated and sent pictures. This was our first time leaving them with a sitter so we were hesitant at first but glad we found her!”


About: Hi, I’m Claire! I’ve been caring for dogs for years and truly see them as family. Whether it’s going for long walks, playing fetch, or just offering a cozy spot to nap, I understand how important it is for your pup to feel safe, loved, and understood while you’re away. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, and I’m especially comfortable with puppies who need a little extra patience, care and training. Your dog’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities, and I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’d be honored to be your dog’s new friend! Live “on post”? As a milspouse, I have access to base housing at Eglin, Hurlburt, and Duke Field. I have years of experience with freshwater aquariums and small birds also! If you have reptiles, I am comfortable handling and feeding but may need some guidance with their other needs! I’m a stay-at-home mom with three kids, and we’ve been living in the Destin area for just over a year—loving every minute of the beach life! Because we currently rent our home, I’m only offering dog walking and drop-in visits at your home. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, as I have a flexible schedule and truly enjoy getting out for walks, giving pets some extra love and attention, and helping families feel at ease while they’re away. Whether it’s a midday walk or a morning visit, I’m happy to work with your pet’s schedule and needs. I currently care for pets in their own homes through drop-in visits and walks. When I’m visiting a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect and care I would want in my own. I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their familiar environment—whether that means sticking closely to their feeding and potty routines, spending time playing and snuggling, or just offering calm companionship. I always aim to keep your pets relaxed and happy while you’re away, and I’m happy to send photo updates so you feel at ease too. Need the mail collected? Lamps on a schedule? I know leaving your home can cause worry, I’m happy to help ease your anxiety by doing small tasks around the home to ensure you come home to a happy pet and a safe environment.

“Staci thank you so much for the last minute schedule to come by to care for Teddy and his cats! ? I highly recommend Staci to anyone who is very overprotective of their animals and wants the RIGHT love and care. I didn’t have to worry about anything and truly enjoyed my time away. Very communicative and loving. My animals love Staci. I will be using you again. Thanks again you rock.”

About: I'm a very experienced animal person (large and small) with a Level 3 certification in ‘Canine Learning, Motivation and Reinforcement’ via the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers and Dog/Cat CPR certified with the American Red Cross. I'm a professional, force-free trainer and I've volunteered with many dog and wildlife rescue charities. Walks and care take into account individual needs and I always monitor for inclement weather or excessive heat. Indoor games and enrichment can take place instead of walking and provide a bunch of physical and mental health benefits for your dog if they cannot go outside. Health and safety is a priority and I always follow your exact instructions. I can provide casual services or a more regular schedule. I don't have pets or children at home so my schedule is flexible and I'm happy to work in with your plans. I have a robust understanding of dog body language and wellbeing to ensure their experiences are positive and productive. Puppies and adolescents are a specialty. Veterinary care and special diets will be followed exactly.

About: I think a meet and greet is important, it will let me know if your pet needs anything special for their visit. At this point I am not currently doing another job., so I have flexible hours to take care of your pet. I can also drop in on your cat. I think cats need attention & exercise while pet parents are away. I can give them playtime and keep you updated on their response. I am currently not working another job. I have flexible hours and time to take care and play with your pups. I can also provide boarding on weekday and weekends. I prefer dogs 20 lbs or under for boarding. I have a small fenced in yard and also have small dogs to keep your pup company. I am also able to crate your pup if needed. I have a dog door, but if I have to run errands the pups are safely keep inside until I return.

About: Looking for a loving and experienced home for your dog while you're away? I’m a former Search and Rescue K9 handler with a wealth of knowledge in dog behavior and training. Now, as a (2-legged) Physician Assistant, I have the added benefit of being able to safely administer medication to your pup or kitty if needed. My household is dog-friendly, with a toddler, so I’m looking for dogs or cats that are comfortable around little ones. Your dog will be treated like family in a safe, comfortable environment. What I offer: Personalized care for your dog's specific needs Medication administration if necessary Safe and loving environment Experience with all breeds and temperaments Attention to detail with daily routines and playtime Let me give your dog the care they deserve while you're away! My schedule is currently flexible and I will tend to your fur baby as needed. With a little advanced planning, I can accommodate most schedules anytime. I live on a fresh water lake that is fenced on all sides (8 ft privacy, 3ft along the water and 4ft on the other 2 sides).

“I booked with Nicole last minute because of a flight delay and she came through! I highly recommend her - she spent the full time with my pups during potty breaks and kept me updated. I will use her again in the future!”



“Parrot Parent approved! 🐦👍 Sharen did great with my Cockatoo! She was not shy or nervous around my bird (he can be intimidating with his size & beak) She sent me lots of photos and checked in often with what he was doing, any questions, and played with him. I've re-booked her several times and she is my first pick for any future sitting needs ❤️”

Di C.
“I have watched Di work with several dogs, and her love of them all is obvious the instant one of them catches her eye. She is a natural, and she backs up being a natural by taking courses in dog training and care. I would trust her with any dog, no questions asked.”


Renee P.
“Renee is a very responsible pet caregiver. We have observed her taking care of others dogs and have been impressed with her concern for them and her attentive caregiving.”


Julie A.
“I’ve known Julie for 25 years, and I can honestly say there’s no one more perfect to care for your pet. She’s had dogs her entire life and treats every animal she meets like family. From Dachshunds to Rhodesian Ridgebacks, Julie ensures their health, happiness, and well-being are always a top priority. She even trained two Rhodesian Ridgebacks to become skilled Search and Rescue dogs, who’ve been called out in the middle of the night to help locate missing people in the mountains of New Mexico. That’s the level of dedication and care she brings to everything she does. When I got my first puppy—a Lab/Boxer mix—Julie guided me through everything from potty training to leash manners. Now, years later, I still turn to her for advice with my senior Mastiff mix, Zeus. And when I was deployed for six months, she welcomed Zeus into her home, understanding his unique needs and treating him like her own. Julie’s patience, love, and natural connection with animals make her an exceptional pet sitter and dog walker. You can truly trust her with your furry family member—they’ll be in the very best hands!”
