“I am so grateful for the amazing care my puppy received! The sitter went above and beyond, keeping me updated with photos and making sure he was happy and well cared for. My puppy is high-energy, and I truly appreciate knowing he was in good hands. It’s such a relief to have someone I can trust. Highly recommend this sitter to anyone looking for reliable and loving care!”


“Catherine Z is truly an exceptional pet sitter! She took amazing care of my two French Bulldogs, giving them plenty of playtime and attention. It was clear they adored her, and I loved knowing they were in such good hands. Catherine kept me updated throughout, sending adorable pictures and videos that reassured me they were happy and well cared for. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and communicative, I highly recommend her!”


“I had the pleasure of having Sheena watch my two dogs, a lab and a doberman, and I couldn’t be more pleased with her care. From the first meeting she was professional, friendly, and genuinely excited to spend time with my dogs. She kept me updated with pictures and messages which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Sheena to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive sitter. I will definitely be booking her again in the future!”


“Peggy was awesome. We had a last-minute cancellation for a pet sitter and she came in clutch. Not only did you take care of a dog but she watched our kitty and kept the house tidy. Her daughter was lovely as well. I’m glad we met”


“Marta is absolutely wonderful! She took the time to get to know our routine and meet our two pups before taking care of them. She was excellent with managing their schedule, cooking their food and taking care of them and our home while we were away. She has a gentle demeanor that our dogs loved. Highly recommend!”


“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Christina and the care she gave our dog during our 4-night trip. Leaving our pup is never easy—he's such a huge part of our lives—but from the moment we met Christina, we felt completely at ease. It was clear right away that she genuinely cares about animals. Every morning and evening, she sent us sweet photo updates that instantly brought smiles to our faces and eased any worries we had. We could tell our dog felt comfortable, loved, and safe—and that meant everything to us. It’s such a gift to find someone you can fully trust with your pet, and Christina is that person. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog and a home that was just as we left it. We're so grateful for her care and can’t imagine using anyone else in the future. Highly, highly recommend! Thanks Christina!”


“Romana was awesome. She took care of my two babies for a whole week. Sitting in our house and it couldn’t have gone better. She had infinite patience with our Yorky, Mochi, which isn’t too friendly and poor Romana endured more than 3 whole days of barking until she convinced him she was a friend and was just taking care of him. It was a really nice ending. All friends. She walked them several times a day and even made them eat better than they do when I feed them! They were happy when I got back and that meant the world to me. Thanks, Romana ? I’ll definitely will call her back again next time we travel!”



“Best sitter experience I’ve ever had. She is so good with my dogs, so kind, and the pups absolutely love her! She has such great energy and can tell she just wants to help and give the pups all the love! I HIGHLY recommend her!”



“Jackie has come to the rescue for myself and husband while vacationing in Lauderdale. We have our small 14 year old Maltese with us, and had no choice but to take him with us. He doesn’t do well at boarding facilities. I decided to get a dog sitter with the hopes of finding someone asap that not only takes good care of my dog, but is friendly with myself and husband too. It’s hard to trust good people. Jackie is wonderful and accommodating to the times we need. Will use her again in the future when I’m back in Lauderdale. Highly recommend!”


About: Hi, I’m Kennedy! I’ve cared for pets in all kinds of homes, from cozy cabins in Montana to sunny apartments here in Florida. Over the years, I’ve fostered dogs of all ages and personalities, from bouncy puppies to gentle seniors, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of needs and temperaments. I treat every pet like they’re my own, giving them plenty of love, attention, and care while keeping their routines consistent. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or just hanging out together, I’m here to make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I’m also experienced with house sitting, so you can trust that your home will be looked after just as carefully as your pets. If you’re looking for a reliable sitter who will treat your pets like family, I’d love to connect! Pet care is part of my everyday life, I’ve fostered for years, so caring for animals is second nature to me. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to give pets regular walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. Whether it’s morning cuddles, midday walks, or evening wind-downs, I make sure each pet feels loved and cared for. I keep pets safe, happy, and comfortable by following their usual routines and giving them plenty of love and attention. In your home, I respect your space and keep doors and gates secure. In my home, I provide a cozy spot, fresh water, and a safe environment free from hazards. You’ll always get updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands.

“Robin is fabulous. She sent pictures daily and took very good care of my special needs dog. It felt to not worry about my baby while I was on vacation.”


About: Honestly my special skill is animals like to be around me. I’m the type of person who has to stop and say hello to every dog I see. I am confident around animals of all sizes. I have had many different types of experience caring for animals from owning my own pets for the majority of my life, to being an in home pet sitter. I also used to have a job where I was required to go into people’s properties and had to interact with all the dogs that would be there to greet me which helped me develop skills on how to handle different situations, having to read the animals as I navigate their yard. I would like pet care to be my full time occupation. I am available week days and weekends. I am willing to travel if needed. I am comfortable with whatever the owner requests. I am available for at home stays for extended periods of time. I am flexible in my schedule.

“Christina did a great job caring for my two dogs while I was away for a week. One is senior and needed some extra care and the other had some anxiety issues. Christina went above and beyond in making them comfortable, and I felt better knowing that they were safe and well looked after. I would definitely hire her again.”


“This is the third time Adrienne has watched our dogs and every time is a great experience. Our dogs love her and it’s gives us peace of mind that our dogs are taken care of while we are away. 10/10 would recommend.”


“My Ollie takes a while to warm to new people but Cory did it fast with his calm, kind and confident persona. Cory has walked Ollie a few times and stayed over in my house with him, and everything went great. I appreciate that!!”


“I have not left my dog with anyone before using Caroline and was very nervous as he is the most important thing in my life. Caroline not only saved his life from a loose dog attack but took amazing care of Walter. I was only gone for a few days but got constant updates and photos of my little dude. I will be using Caroline exclusively if possible and could not recommend her more highly”


About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for a variety of breeds — from energetic retrievers and beagles to strong-willed American bulldogs, and now, two playful French bulldogs. I’ve worked closely with professional dog trainers for each of my dogs, and I’m so grateful for that guidance. It’s taught me how to better understand dogs and communicate with them in a calm, consistent way. Over the years, I’ve learned how to adjust to each dog’s unique personality — whether they’re full of energy or need a little extra patience. My friends are always surprised at how quickly their dogs connect with me, even the shy or nervous ones. I love earning a dog’s trust and making them feel safe, seen, and cared for. Your pup will be treated like family, with plenty of attention, affection, and care tailored just for them. As an entrepreneur, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care throughout my day. Whether it’s morning walks, mid-day playtime, or sticking to a consistent feeding and potty routine, I’m able to give dogs the time and attention they need to feel comfortable and cared for. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, their safety and comfort always come first. I follow any routines or guidelines you provide closely — from feeding schedules and crate time to walk preferences and training cues. Consistency helps dogs feel secure, and I do everything I can to make sure they feel right at home. In my own home, I keep a clean, dog-friendly environment with secure spaces for play and rest. I’m always mindful of what’s within reach and make sure all dogs are supervised during interactions, walks, and mealtimes. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with the same care and respect I give my own. I make sure your pup is comfortable in their familiar space and stick to your instructions so there’s no added stress for them — or you. I also check in regularly with updates and photos so you can feel confident your dog is happy, safe, and in good hands.

“Genesis did a great job with our dog Keenu who is a senior that can sometimes be cranky. She listened to all of our requirements for him and was able to keep him comfortable during a house sit. Would recommend her especially for people with pets that have extra needs. Thank you!”
