“Angelica did an amazing job with our 3 fur kids and our home! She communicated clearly and provides updates with the pups. She was kind and respectful of our animals and home. We would absolutely have her sit again!”


“I can’t say enough great things about Courtney! She was an awesome dog sister for Bella and will be using her again! Bella had the best time with her and she really made me feel at ease with leaving Bella with her, especially with all the air conditioning issues I had at my house while I was gone. I highly recommend her!”


“Lindsey was super! Puppies were happy and well cared for while we were gone and we got regular updates even over a busy Thanksgiving week. Lindsey is an excellent communicator, asking questions about things along the way both prior to and during the pet sitting sessions. She took nice care of the house, and was just wonderful to work with. THANK YOU LINDSEY!”


“If I could give a 100 ⭐️ rating for Cole I definitely would. I had a family reunion in another state to attend and my Molly is not only my emotional support animal but she’s also getting older and dealing with senior dog issues with hearing and seeing and getting weak in her back legs and I was panicking about leaving her in a kennel when my concierge sent me some people who could stay at my home and take care of her I carefully reviewed the list and immediately Cole stood out and I had a feeling in my heart he’s the one! We met before leaving town so he could meet Molly and she would get to know him a little and not be afraid. He kept in constant contact while we were gone and sent pictures of her cuddling with him. My heart just melted 🥰 We got home from our trip and Molly wasn’t expecting us and barked and backed up like we were strangers lol because she wanted Cole back. My husband and I are so very grateful and thankful for Cole and would highly recommend him for anyone who may need a dog/home sitter he’s a genuine person who truly loves and cares about our furry kids 🐶💖 I don’t know how to thank him enough for his kindness and love for our girl while we were gone.🙏🏻”


“Marie was fantastic. She took outstanding care of our dog, Paco, and our home while we were out of town. We would highly recommend her.”


“Absolutely amazing! Sent pictures and kept us updated. Went above and beyond with the dogs, even took them to explore a near by park! Can’t say enough good things! Happy to have found a great sitter”


“Morgan was a good communicator and a caring sitter for our elderly Havanese. She took excellent care of our home and our dog. There was a minor plumbing issue during her stay and she took care of that as well.”


“Lola It was amazing, while we were passing through Sarasota, we left my little Maltese with her for 3 days to enjoy the beach, she went to our hotel and stayed with him there, she is punctual and responsible, we do not speak English, but it was easy to communicate with her, we will miss you Lola, we will be back soon! On the last day my friend was going to arrive at the beach with her baby dog, and she also took care of him along with my baby! She is amazing!”


“Avery was an excellent care giver for our two senior dogs for our two week vacation! He was willing to meet and greet us and the dogs beforehand as well as stay overnight. The dogs were well taken care of, including medication and special requests. We will definitely work with him again!”


“Liv is an Amazing petsitter!!! She absolutely loves animals, has rescue dogs, and has volunteered at Humane Society. We would highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter. We will continue to ask her to petsit as long as possible until we go to Texas for the winter. Only wish we could take her with us!!!”


“It’s very hard for me to leave my pets and leaving for four nights was causing me a bit of stress. Choosing Nevaeh changed everything for me. She is very kind and compassionate and took excellent care of my senior dogs. I could see they fell in love with her during my absence. She sent very much appreciated photos and updates and texted me if she had any questions. She was very responsible with my fur babies and my home. I absolutely could not be more impressed with her and will use her services for all my dog/house sitting needs. She is the best and I appreciate her so much!”


About: I walk dogs, cat sit, and house sit around my neighborhood and it’s my favorite part of my week. I once fostered a momma dog and helped her birth her babies and nurse them to health! I couldn’t imagine myself doing anything else! I currently work part time as a dance teacher but when I am not teaching I am either dog sitting or house sitting, if there is a family in need of a sitter I can make it work! I easily can follow direction on security of the home and the dogs. The animals are my number one priority and focus when I’m on the job.

“Haley is outstanding! The pets were well cared for, I received a lot of pictures and communication, the house was in perfect condition upon our return and I was able to enjoy our trip knowing our pets and house were well taken care of. Would highly recommend Haley!! She even made us a welcome home sign! So cute”

“I am SO happy with my experience with Debra. She kept in constant contact, sent lots of pictures, kept to my dog’s normal routine, and, most importantly, spoiled my babies as if they were her own. It was hard to leave my girls with someone I hadn’t had watch them before, but I left them in the BEST hands!
