Adriana is great! She spent a weekend with my 13 yo cockapoo and I felt really comfortable having her in my home. She was very responsible, left the house in great shape and my dog was perfectly content when we returned. She's very quick to respond with details and followed a complicated feeding / medicine schedule with no problems. Will definitely work with her again!

Mia did such an amazing job with Milo and Theo. She was prompt with responding to my messages and communicating if she was running late. My Theo got an upset tummy and she was proactive to communicate with me and give him some medicine I had in the house. I came back and my home was how I left it any boys were happy to see me. I would definitely book with her again.

Emily was great, she was able to make herself available quickly when my sitter from rover cancelled last minute. My pup slept by her the entire time and she kept updating me on how he was doing. Highly recommend her.

Nathalie was great with our kitten Lucky. She stayed at our home for a week and she really took great care of him while we were gone. Our house was sparkling clean when we arrived which is something we really appreciate. She was kind enough to pick up some packages from our locker which she didn’t have to do which really tells you how kind she is. Thank you Nathalie! We will definitely be booking with you in the future!

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with them and this is the first time since I was 2 that I haven’t had a dog in my home, so I truly miss being around them. I’ve helped raise 5 puppies, so I’m comfortable with everything from training basics to high-energy stages. I love dogs of all sizes and personalities. I enjoy going on walks and staying active, but I’m also in medical school, so I’m just as happy spending time studying while keeping your dog company if they prefer a calm environment. I’m very attentive, reliable, and treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m on campus during the daytime Tuesday through Thursday, but aside from that I have a very open schedule. I’m usually studying, which gives me flexibility throughout the day and evening. I’m available for mornings, nights, weekends, and overnights, and can easily adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. I do not have any pets and am not allowed to have them in my apartment, so I provide care in my client’s home. I follow all care instructions closely and make sure your pet stays in their normal routine. I am respectful of your space, keep things clean, and make sure your pet is comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own dog for the past 5 years, along with helping take care of my family’s dogs, including those of my sister-in-laws and mother-in-law. I’m familiar with daily routines like feeding, walking, and providing a safe, loving environment for pets. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I am a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets. I have experience caring for my own dog for over 5 years, as well as helping with my family’s dogs. I’m available throughout the day and can provide lots of attention, walks, feeding, and loving care for your pets as if they were my own. I provide attentive, loving care for pets either in my home or in my client’s home, depending on the service. I follow each pet’s routine closely to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while their owners are away. This includes feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of affection and companionship.Most importantly, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family, making sure they feel cared for, loved, and not alone while you’re away.

About: Florida native with 10+ years of serious animal care experience! For the past two years I’ve been working full-time as a professional house manager across California and Florida, caring for beloved animals and homes with the same reverence I bring to everything I do. My experience spans dogs, cats, horses, farm animals, birds of prey, aquatic life, and pets of elder years and/or recovering from surgery. I approach every home as a living ecosystem and every animal as a member of the family! I’m Forbes trained in hospitality and take what I do seriously, while also with great care and joy. I’m now expanding into Rover and carry an extensive and glowing 5 star testimonial record from two years of full-time sits. I’m based right here in Brickell with my own transportation and a completely open schedule. I’m available truly any time: early mornings, midday, evenings, and nights. I’m punctual and quite reliable ;) I care for animals in their own home/neighborhood, on their own terms. Their environment, their routine, their comfort, that’s the baseline. Bespoke only. I’m attentive to detail, security-conscious, and I communicate with owners proactively. Two years of full-time housesitting across California and Florida has made me someone my families trust completely with their most precious things.

About: I’ve owned and cared for multiple dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals comes very naturally to me. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and pets of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who need extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable working with anxious, shy, or reactive animals and always take the time to build trust and make them feel safe. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, basic training reinforcement, or simply keeping your pet company, I provide attentive, loving, and reliable care. I can also provide light grooming services such as brushing, baths, nail trims, and general coat care when needed. Pet care is my full-time focus, which gives me a very flexible schedule throughout the week and on weekends. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, light grooming, and overnight care when needed. Since this is my primary commitment, I’m able to provide attentive, reliable care and can often accommodate requests outside of my listed availability as well. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I provide a calm, loving environment and always follow feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special instructions carefully. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and needs, and I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for whether in my home or yours.

I would highly recommend Jane! My two dogs were very happy when I got home, so it’s clear that she took great care of them and they had a great time with her. She took them on lots of walks, spent time outside with them and sent a lot of pictures which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was traveling for work for a few days. Can’t wait to book with Jane again.

About: Growing up I had cats, dogs, birds, a bunny and even a chinchilla! Very comfortable around all types of animals and currently live with 3 cats and a dog. Whenever a friend needs a pet sitter I’m there! I work during the week but am usually available daily after 4pm. On weekends I am flexible to your schedule, just give me a bit of advance notice if possible! I’ll adjust to your pets routine and give them extra love while you’re gone!! I can take them for long walks to get some energy out and will play with your puppy or kitty so they won’t be bored

About: I have taken care of my neighbors dogs since I was a little kid. I would house sit for my next door neighbor and his two boxers, then when they had puppies I also helped take care of them before and after school. Then, I decided to get my own dog (Juco) he is now four years old, my ride or die, and the friendliest dog I have even met! But I love all animals and treat them all like my own! The summer months are a low period in my work schedule. But my daily routine usually consists of me taking my dog for a long walk in the morning, hitting the gym, then going to the office a few hours. After work I come home walk my dog again and spend time with him at the dog park! I can stay at your property while pet sitting or bring your dog to play with my friendly dog at my townhouse. My neighborhood is very dog friendly and has multiple parks within walking distance!

About: I have dedicated over 8 years to caring for dogs with heartfelt love. During this time, I’ve had the pleasure of attending to dogs of all breeds and temperaments. Currently, I work in a veterinary clinic as an assistant manager and vet technician, where I administer medications, assist with treatments, and monitor recoveries to ensure every dog feels safe and pampered. Additionally, I completed several semesters of veterinary medicine in Colombia, which allowed me to gain special insight into animal health. Whether it’s walks, feeding, or early detection of warning signs, my care ensures your dog is in expert and, most importantly, loving hands, always treated as part of the family. I work Monday to Friday from 9AM to 6:00 PM and take weekends off. Daily/Weekly Routine for Pet Care Despite my busy work schedule from Monday to Friday, I make sure that pet care remains a top priority. My mornings and evenings are dedicated to taking care of dogs, ensuring they receive proper walks, feeding, and a little extra love. On my days off during the weekend, I use the extra time to engage in longer activities, playful outings, and additional care, guaranteeing that every dog feels cherished and well-attended. At my home, I live with a friendly dog who gets along well with other dogs and cats, and she is up to date on her vaccinations and preventive care. I also share my home with a cat who is equally sociable with both dogs and cats. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I bring the same level of love, attention, and care. I ensure that every pet feels safe and comfortable, creating a nurturing environment that both the pet and the owner can trust.

Connie did an amazing job looking after our dog and our home while we were away! Our dog, Layla, is a bit older and has her own little quirks, so we are always a little anxious leaving her. However, Connie was so patient and gentle that she got Layla to warm up to her in no time. Connie maintained fantastic communication throughout the entire stay, sending lots of updates and sweet photos that completely put our minds at ease. On top of the incredible pet care, she took wonderful care of our house as well. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Connie to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and caring pet sitter.
