“Absolutely amazing they gave my puppy so much attention. My puppy was afraid because his first time without me at night and they helped him through it. Gave me great feedback and constant updates. Stayed in my home and very respectful in my apartment.”


About: Born and raised on small farm in Puerto Rico where my family always took in stray dogs (every dog has a story:D) Looking to get a daily fix of dog love as I start my PhD this year! MD-PhD student with flexible schedule. Free after 5pm. Free on weekends at all times. Happy to help those who work evenings and overnights! I will only be available on weekdays -midday- if located walking distance from UHealth/Jackson Memorial Hospital. I love to get out to run or walk every day to refresh the soul. I believe in consistency to make the experience best for your pet while building trust with owners over time. Happy to form a long-term walking schedule as needed.
“Laura is an awesome pet sitter! She took great care of our 2 Aussies. We communicated throughout our vacation and she sent photos daily. We found our home in perfect condition. We will definitely request her in the near future. Thank you, Laura!”

“Monica was super professional and friendly. She took great care of our cat and dog while we were away. She was very sweet and handled all my anxiety by reassuring me the pets were in good hands. We loved getting daily photos and updates!”

“Nathalie is always wonderful! She is consistent, professional, kind and most importantly loving to our fur babies This is our second booking with Nathalie while we are away on vacation and we will book with her again for sure! 💕”

“Samantha is an amazing person. She’s prompt, super clean, courteous, professional but friendly, warm and compassionate. She’s a pleasure to work with, very intelligent and respectful!”

About: Hi, My name is Michael M. I just moved backed home to Miami. Since my first memories we have always owned dogs. My mom had a habit of picking up stray dogs. Her heart always broke when she saw a furry defenseless dog begging for food or needing shelter. My mom's big heart exposed me to many types of dogs all different sizes and temperament. I have been dog sitting for a while now and it's one of my favorite things to do. I am a realtor and I am able to work from home during the day while clients are working and when I am away it's for only a few hours at a time. I have a fenced yard. Like I said my dog loves social interaction with other friendly doggies and would love to find friends he could play with. I am a real estate agent with my office at home. I will be able to watch over them while they play.
“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: I grew up with dogs, horses, donkeys, and pigs in VA. My american bulldog mutt, Bailey Toes, unfortunately, passed away recently at 12 years old (lymphoma) and I would like to care for other pets while I mourn the passing of mine. It's the first time I have ever been without a dog in the house and it's too darn quiet. I have experience with senior dogs and special needs dogs as that has been my entire world for the past 6 months. I live in a condo in Brickell, right next to a few different parks. I don't have kids or really any other obligation apart from work, and I work from home, so that means my attention is focused on your babies. Their routine is my routine, I’m just happy to be a part of it. Frequent walks, lots of belly scratches, and play time. I base my schedule around them, because I’m in a position that allows for that. I will walk dogs at least 4x day, because it’s something I enjoy too. Taking especially long lunchtime and evening walks. I maintain water/feed bowls as directed. If I go to restaurant in the neighborhood for dinner, I will usually bring them with me so they can have some mental stimulation.

“Mia was a phenomenal sitter for my two pups! We recently moved from Dallas to Miami, and I was nervous to leave them, but Mia was quick to step in and love on them. She sent photos and/or videos every day while I was away, which put my heart at ease. By the time I returned home, they were great friends! I will absolutely be partnering with Mia again!”

“Sol is an amazing sitter! She stayed with my cats for an entire week and sent me daily updates with photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. My cats absolutely loved her, and she was incredibly friendly, caring, and helpful throughout their stay. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive sitter! Thank u Sol!”

“Connie was so attentive to my picky cat. It was clear she was very happy to have Connie stay with her for over a week and I came back to a house that was definitely cleaner than how I left it!”


“Jackie is such a pleasant person and an excellent care taker for our Megan and Saber and our home. We are blessed to have her in our lives. We cannot wait to have her back! Highly recommended.”

“Annie was a fantastic dog sitter and house sitter. Everything was so well taken care of and my dogs loved her so much. I’m looking forward to booking Annie in the future knowing that my dogs will be comfortable and well treated. Highly recommend!”

“This is so long overdue but I couldn't go without leaving a review. Audrey was a fantastic Dog Sitter and I couldn't be more grateful for how she took care of Max. Quick to respond, clear communication, pictures, video and updates. I never once had to question how Max was doing while I was away. She also came to stay at the house. She left my house in the state she found it, stripped her bed before leaving and even asked if I had any other requests before she left. I will definitely be using Audrey again and truly appreciate her, and Rover, for making my time away as comfortable as possible for Max.”

“Cristy took great care of my Mimi while I was gone! Constantly gave me updates and pictures about her whereabouts. She also left my home clean upon arriving, Will definitely use her again in the future.”

“I HIGHLY recommend working with Lux (Emily B.). We needed a last minute cat sitter to come do a house stay. We were hesitant about leaving because our elderly cat had recently gotten injured, but Lux kept a careful eye on them the whole time and sent regular updates and sweet photos. They are kind, communicative, responsible, and genuinely love animals. They even stayed a bit longer than required to make sure our cat had company till we got home. So thoughtful, we will definitely be working with them again!”
About: Lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on pet care experience. I grew up in a home full of animals, including Yorkshire terriers, birds, hamsters, fish, and more, so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. As an adult, I’ve cared for two rescue dogs of my own: an elderly, special-needs chihuahua and a high-energy terrier mix. This experience taught me how to adapt to different temperaments, energy levels, and care routines. I’ve also been trusted by neighbors and family friends for pet sitting and house sitting over several years, often caring for medium to large dogs who are most comfortable staying in their home rather than in a kennel. I’m a young professional and Columbia University graduate, and I do this because I genuinely love animals. I work fully remote, which allows me to be flexible and present. I take a thoughtful, attentive approach to care. I like to understand each pet’s behavior, routine, and preferences upfront to create a calm, low-stress experience. I’m especially experienced with senior pets and those with medical needs, and I’m careful to follow instructions closely, whether that’s medications, feeding schedules, or specific routines. You can expect me to be highly organized, communicative, and reliable. I provide regular updates with photos and videos so you always know how your pet is doing. I work fully remote, which gives me flexibility throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, and boarding. I’m home most of the day and can adjust my schedule around your pet’s needs, including mornings, lunch, and evening I believe in caring for the whole dog, not just completing a walk or visit. I focus on making pets feel comfortable, safe, and understood. When possible, I like to learn about a dog’s behavior and routine ahead of time so I can tailor my care to them. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and any specific preferences. You can expect clear communication, reliability, and regular updates with photos and videos.
“Attentive, trustworthy miracle-worker! I needed a sitter last minute and Kelsey responded right away. She brings her dog with her and was very upfront about that. She was also very thoughtful about ensuring the dogs met in a way that was the least stressful for them (and me!). She arrived early to spend time with Merlin and chat with me, which was much appreciated. I felt completely comfortable with her taking care of Merlin and being in my home. She was very kind and clearly very attentive to Merlin, even playing bird songs to relax and distract him. He has separation anxiety and normally howls, barks, and paces when I leave. He had no trouble with Kelsey though and seemed very relaxed when I got home. It was amazing! I would absolutely recommend her.”

Miles did a great job checking in on my big girl, she’s 90 lbs of energy and immediately did well with his calm demeanor. I’d recommend if you’d want someone reliable, thoughtful, & responsible. Checked in with me daily and sent photos of her to update, will likely hire again for future check ins. 🙏🏽💯

Samantha was so amazing with our cats! She sent such helpful updates and pictures and made sure to follow the instructions for their care and our apartment very closely. We felt so comfortable that they were well taken care of and it was clear they took an immediate liking to her. Highly recommend and will be booking her again!

Julianna was wonderful with dogs Honey and Daisy! 🥰 She kept me updated with photos and messages, followed all of their care instructions, and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my pups were happy, comfortable, and well. I would absolutely trust her to watch them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter. Thank you, Julianna!

Here’s a warm, genuine 5-star review you can leave for Victoria was absolutely amazing with our dog, Leyla! She took excellent care of her, gave us regular updates, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared for Leyla and treated her like her own. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Victoria is reliable, kind, professional, and truly loves animals. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter, and we will definitely book with her again. Thank you so much, Victoria! 🐾❤️

Emily took very good care of our indoor/outdoor friends. She was communicative, capable of following somewhat complex feeding schedules and allowed us to enjoy our time away with peace of mind. Would highly recommend her and look forward to the next time we can book her for a trip!
We had an amazing experience! From our first meet and greet, she was professional, communicative, and incredibly caring. While we were away, she took wonderful care of our three pets—Louie, Kiwi, and Mochi. Louie absolutely adored her and had a blast during his time with her. Kiwi and Mochi were equally well cared for and clearly received lots of love and attention. We came home to happy, relaxed pets and a tidy home, which gave us such peace of mind while traveling. She went above and beyond with updates, flexibility, and thoughtful touches that made the entire experience exceptional. We would not hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely passionate about caring for animals. Thank you again for taking such great care of our furry family!
