About: I grew up with pets and formed a deep bond with animals early on. Sadly, I haven’t been able to have a dog of my own as an adult because I live in an apartment and travel often — but I pour all that love and care into the dogs I walk and care for. Recently, I spent 3 weeks dog-sitting two lovely pups in their own home. I kept them company and took them on regular adventures to explore new smells and meet new dogs. Their owners were amazed — for the first time, the dogs didn't dig a single hole in the yard (something they usually do when they’re bored or under-stimulated)! I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Back in college, I volunteered over 300 hours at the Miami Animal Shelter in a single semester, and I still visit regularly. That experience gave me confidence working with shy, energetic, and even reactive dogs. I’m calm, reliable, and absolutely love spending time with animals. Whether your dog needs a quiet stroll or a stimulating walk full of sniffs and new friends, I’ll make sure they get the attention and affection they deserve. I work full-time online, but my schedule is very flexible because my job is based on deadlines rather than fixed hours — some days are busier, others are lighter. This flexibility allows me to fit pet care into my routine quite naturally. Since I spend a lot of time sitting at a computer, walking dogs or spending time with pets feels like the perfect way to take meaningful breaks, move my body, and recharge. Even just being in a pet’s home while working remotely gives me a mental reset and a chance to share some quiet companionship. On lighter days or when I finish work early, I love taking dogs on longer walks or even heading to the beach if that’s something they enjoy. Pet care isn’t just a side activity — it’s become one of the most enjoyable and grounding parts of my week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is always to make sure the dog feels comfortable and safe with me. I take time to understand their personality and routine, and I always ask about the specific “do’s and don’ts” for each dog so I can respect their habits and make my presence feel as natural and familiar as possible. For dogs who are especially playful or affectionate, I love engaging with them in short, consistent interactions throughout the day — enough to keep them entertained and emotionally connected, without overstimulating them. Whether it’s a game, a cuddle, or just being nearby, I try to make sure they feel seen and cared for.

“Monica did a wonderful job with my dog Prince. She was flexible, attentive, and communicated extremely well. I had a major delay with my flight and she came back to feed him and let him out. She updated me daily with pictures and how their day went. Prince is sick right now so she made sure to be present with extra care and made sure he had a calm environment. I would highly recommend Monica!”


“great care and was always responsive with pictures to let me know my kids were ok and adjusting to a stranger. She is warm and compassionate!”


“Alexandria was great! She made sure our boy got all the attention he needed to feel as ease. We will be using her again. Highly recommend her!”


“I was so impressed with Taylor’ ! I ended up having to stay out of town a little bit later and she was so flexible and even came earlier the day I left just to keep my dog company and keep him on schedule. She was very responsible and I knew right from the start that my dog was in good hands. This was the third time leaving my dog with someone else, and I felt totally comfortable. She had great tips to provide on how to curb a few of his behaviors and was incredibly insightful. She also cuddled him a tremendous amount and treated him like her own. She was very communicative and always gave updates and sent pics! She also left my home in great condition and took good care of it while I was away. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone and everyone!! Thank you so much, Taylor!!! You are the best!!!”


About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is the genuine love and dedication I have for every animal in my care. I treat each pet as if they were my own, paying close attention to their individual needs, routines, and personalities. My reliability, calm nature, and strong communication with pet owners help build trust and peace of mind. I go the extra mile to ensure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my healthy daily routine by keeping me active, mindful, and present. Walking dogs and playing with pets gets me moving outdoors and helps me stay physically fit. Caring for animals also reduces stress and boosts my mood, supporting my mental well-being. The structure and responsibility keep me focused and grounded throughout the day. It’s a fulfilling way to stay healthy while doing something I truly love. When dog sitting and dog walking, I make sure each pup feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I stick to their regular routines, provide fresh food and water, and give them plenty of love and attention. During walks, I ensure they get the right amount of exercise while staying safe and stimulated. I also keep a close eye on their behavior and health, and always update owners with photos and notes. My goal is to make every dog feel comfortable and cared for, just like they would at home.

“Laura was just amazing with our two kiddos (one of which is super shy). She was incredibly communicative, left our home in immaculate shape and we can't wait to book with her again. I would highly recommend her!”


About: When your dog stays with me, they're not just being watched - they're being cared for with love, patience, and attention. I create a peaceful, pet-friendly space where your dog can feel at home, stick to their routine, and enjoy plenty of affection and play. Whether it's quiet cuddle time, walks in familiar surroundings, or just a steady presence while you're away, I focus on what makes your dog feel secure and happy. I learn their personality, preferences, and needs so they feel understood and cared for. Regular updates and photos keep you connected, and my calm, reliable approach ensures you can travel or work without worry. You can trust that your dog is in kind, capable hands - with someone who truly cares. I'm flexible with scheduling and happy to accommodate your needs, including evenings and weekends. Whether you have an early meeting, a late event, or weekend plans, I'm here to help make sure your dog is cared for when you need it most. Just let me know what works best for you, and we'll find a time that fits. Preferably, I offer pet sitting in their own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. This helps reduce stress and allows them to stay in their familiar routine while you're away.

“Amanda took great care of my senior dog and was very attentive to her every need. She’s was great with communication too. Many thanks, Amanda!”


“Connie was amazing! She was able to sit on relatively short notice, clear communication, adapted to my cats’ typical schedules, and took great care of them and my apartment for the 2 weeks while I was gone. Will definitely book again!”


“Maryam was amazing! Highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies! Constantly kept communication with us and sent pictures frequently. We were not worried about Jake at all knowing he was being taken care of so well. Will definitely be using her for our next trip.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and spend quality time with their pets. I have experience with both playful puppies and calm senior pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own — with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs. I am not working I ll be available all the time if you need me. And pets can stay with me too if you need. 🥰 In my home, I provide a clean, safe, and loving environment where pets can relax and feel comfortable. I stick to their usual routines, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and playtime, to help them feel at ease. I offer cozy sleeping spaces, enrichment through toys and attention, and plenty of cuddles if they enjoy affection!

“Hannah was so great! We were gone for 10 days for a Europe trip and it was the first time leaving our 2 huskies alone outside of boarding for this amount of time so we were super anxious about it. But Hannah was great at being communicative with us, sending pictures, and following our care instructions. After a couple days of us being gone our anxiousness completely went away & we were able to fully enjoy our trip. Our dogs are a little spoiled & needy, so we really appreciated her being so flexible & attentive to them.”

I used to have my own puppies back home, and every animal I meet gets the same love and attention I gave my own and friends.

I like keeping routines, administering medications and providing plenty of comfort and calm.

If I am in your home I respect keys space and comfort zone. I make sure feeding schedules, walks , medications, and cuddle time s happen just the way your pet is used to.

Whenever we traveled, we would leave our pets with her, knowing they were in the best hands. She took care of them with the same love and attention she gives her own animals. She’s truly one of the few people I completely trust when it comes to caring for pets. She also loves and looks after stray animals with great compassion. Anyone would be lucky to have her as a pet sitter.”
