“Stephanie was so awesome taking care of our dog. She was very thorough learning about his schedule/habits prior to us leaving. I got great pics and updates. Great peace of mind. He was so spoiled by I think he might have been a little sad that we came home. Everything at our house was great too. I would give her more than 5 stars if possible. HIGHLY recommend!”


“I’ll start by saying that before choosing Megan we looked at quite a few of the sitters on this site. We left on 22 December and return on January 3. That being said it was a lot to ask of any sitter to babysitter over the holidays on such short notice. When I met Megan, I felt so comfortable with her. She stayed for a meet and greet for quite a while to get used to our animals. She accepted our timeslots, even though it was over the holidays. We felt like she was more than worth what she was charging as she was losing time with her family over the holidays and offering to stay with our pets so that we could go out of state to spend time with ours. It was very important to us that we had someone we could trust she was staying in our home to sit for our animals, I can say that I am so happy that we chose her. She was amazing. Gave us daily updates videos and made us comfortable. We were able to enjoy our visit without having to worry about our animals. They are not enough stars to rate for the job that she did and the peace of mind that we had. I would highly recommend her and would definitely use her again. Megan thank you so much. We appreciate everything that you did for us.🦮🐈⬛ Buddy and Zoie miss you ❤️❤️❤️”

About: Hi, you are looking at a lifelong animal love who just quit her corporate job to love on dogs full time! 🥰 About me: active, healthy, woman in my mid 40s with lots of love to give. My mom raised maltese pups since I was a little kid. I raised my own mini dachshund since I was 18 who lived a full life until she crossed the rainbow bridge at 16.5 years old. I also had many cats and rescued a pup that wandered into our front yard. Dogs are MY life, so I happily welcomed Jaxie (mini dachshund) into my family in Feb '20. He is such a sweet boy - loves belly rubs, hunting lizards, and playing with all his furfriends. If you have a friendly pup who enjoys the company of another friendly pup, come on over! Your pup will have so much fun. Jaxie plays very nice (very submissive, is always on his back, even with chihuahuas) and loves to get chased and be chased. Jaxie is not food aggressive. And, he's not toy aggressive either - he loves sharing his many toys with his furfriends! Or, if your pup doesn’t want to play, Jaxie is great matching his energy level to other pups. We’ve had many older pups here where Jaxie leaves them alone out of respect. On the other hand, he’s also amazed pet parents by getting their older pups to play! My 24/7 job is to take care of your furbaby I'll be home with your furbaby all day, watching over them, snuggling them, and making sure they stay safe and enriched with playtime. We have lots of toys here! House is organized and clean at all times. My fiance is a firefighter who works 1 day on, 2 days off. As such, on his off days, he's home all day. We live at the end of a cul-de-sac in a very small and quiet neighborhood. Backyard is fully fenced and backs up to a creek. No neighbors in the back. Whenever your pup is in the backyard, I am always out there. Your pup is never unattended outside. Your fur baby can sleep and hangout where ever they want (couch, bed, dog beds). If your dog loves walks, we'll go on walks. If your dog has a sweet tooth, we'll get pup cups! Or, if your fur baby just wants to chill, we can do that too! I sync my energy level to your dog's energy level. I do not take any other dogs during the same time period as I am caring for your pup. I can do drop in visits or walks if you live fairly close to me. Finally, I am a good communicator (can't you tell by this dissertation; ha!) and will send updates and pics at least 3 times a day. If you want less, just let me know. :) My daily routine revolves around my own dog, so rest assured your dog will be treated like family, and will be given the same amount of care and attention; dogs are #1 in my household! When I take care of your furbaby, ensuring your furbaby is happy, fulfilled, and loved is my number #1 goal! We can do meet and greets via Zoom or at my house. Your call!

About: Your pet(s) will be treated and cared for like family, and the environment is calming, secure, and quiet to assist with comfort and boarding stay. I'm currently part-time, however, I can make adjustments as necessary and can board daily and on weekdays, weekends, and holidays. We can discuss the details of the care for your fur baby. Have a fenced-in yard at home with security system. Located around animal treatment/medical facilities. I have a 4-year-old German shepherd who is calm and well-trained.

About: Before moving, I use to work at UF vet hospital as an assistant and technician. While working there I would house-sit and pet-sit for the doctors I worked with. I have been in the animal field for at least 3 years and continue to be in this field. I also have experience in primary care. I have two pups of my own. I currently work part-time and would have plenty of time to watch over your loved fur-ones. I’m free majority of weekends and mostly the week days. I live in an apartment so having them over will be a little challenging but I’m happy to work with it. I have two dogs who are friendly and love making friends. If your pet is more comfortable in their own home, I am happy to keep them all the company.

About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals since I was very young. I have always been passionate about caring for animals and getting to know the creatures I encounter. I work from home with a pretty flexible schedule. I can pop over to take the dogs out for a walk or be available for feeding or whatever your pet may need. My pets are my life and I do anything I can to make their lives as wonderful as it can be. I would love to help other pets live their best lives.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 2 years and absolutely love it. I have one dog of my own and a passion for training, helping dogs learn new tricks and good behavior is something I really enjoy. I’ve dog sat for several families and regularly walk dogs in my neighborhood. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just companionship, I always make sure each dog feels safe, loved, and cared for. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine. I start my day by taking my dog out for a walk and making sure both my dog and cat are fed and happy. Throughout the day, I set aside time for walks, play sessions, and training when needed. Whether I’m pet sitting or walking dogs for others, I plan my schedule to give each pet the time and attention they deserve. Taking care of animals is something I truly enjoy, so it fits seamlessly into my everyday life. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I follow any routines or instructions provided, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and medication if needed. I create a calm and positive environment, giving pets plenty of attention and affection while also respecting their space. In a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect I would my own keeping everything clean and making sure their pet feels secure while they’re away.

About: Hi! Our family would love to help your family in any way we can! From drop ins to overnights we’ve got you covered! We love pets of all shapes and sizes and we’ve got you covered on short notice too! ❤️ I work nights at an ER and just want to have something fun to do in my off time! I have 3 beautiful daughters and my oldest daughter is such a great help and loves to play fetch with our dog and yours!❤️ We have a large metal fence all the way around the backyard. There are locks on either side and we do have cameras for extra security. Your furbaby is our furbaby while you’re away❤️

About: I’ve spent over 15 years in the pet care world, gaining hands-on experience in a variety of settings — from veterinary clinics and kennels to long-term boarding facilities, doggy daycares, and canine training, including work with both gentle companions and those with behavioral challenges. At home, I share my life with two Australian Shepherds and three other wonderful dogs. To me, pets are far more than just animals — they’re family. The bond we share with them is one of life’s greatest rewards, and I believe their physical and mental well-being is the foundation for that special connection. Every tail wag, happy bark, and content sigh reminds me why I do what I do. Pet care is my full-time passion and priority, which means I’m available to meet your pet’s needs any time — day or night, seven days a week. I have a large, secure fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love to play and help keep visiting pups engaged and happy. If your dog prefers a quieter pace, I’m always ready for one-on-one time — whether that’s playing, going for walks, running, hiking, exploring, or simply snuggling. No pet should ever feel unwanted, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own.
