About: My life intertwines with animals—Bull Terriers, cats, and every creature becoming my teachers of unconditional love and profound connection. Where others saw breed stereotypes, I discovered souls waiting to be understood and cherished. For over two decades, I've dedicated myself to understanding and rehabilitating Bull Terriers, showing the world their gentle, loving hearts beneath muscular exteriors. Fostering and caring these dogs isn't just a task—it's an art of patience and mutual understanding. They can be challenging, but their capacity for love is unparalleled. Each dog has taught me more about compassion than any human interaction ever could. My connection extends beyond traditional companions. Every being, whether fur, feather, or leaf, deserves respect and love. Fur, Friendship, and Fighting Stigmas: My Journey with Bull Terriers 🐾 I'm currently working from home when I'm not traveling. My flexible shcedule allows me to accommodate my job, work flows around their needs. Morning plays, midday cuddles, and ongoing companionship is what we are used to at home. In my home, every furry friend becomes family. With a spacious, securely fenced yard, your pets will enjoy freedom, play, and companionship among my loving pack. Sofas and beds are open territories were cuddles and comfort reign supreme. Bring your pet's favorite blanket, cherished toy, or familiar crate—I want them to feel instantly at home. Here, individual needs are honored, anxieties soothed, and tails wag with pure joy. Your fur baby isn't just a guest; they're treasured and protected. Where comfort meets compassion, healing begins.

“Heather was awesome, so kind. I could tell she really loved Halo and vise versa. I really appreciate her for taking care of him. She was flexible with her schedule and really helped me out. I’m grateful.”


“We are beyond grateful for the wonderful care and love you showed our two dogs today!

Thank you for going above and beyond to make sure they felt happy and comfortable. We appreciate you so much and feel lucky to have found such a fantastic dog sitter!”

About: I’ve always been an animal lover. I raised two dogs from puppyhood. Lucy lived to 18, and my current pup, Porscha, is now 14. I also have a 15 year old cat, AppleJack, I’ve had since she was a kitten. So I know what it’s like to care for pets at every stage of life, from playful zoomies to slower senior strolls. I started pet sitting because I wasn’t looking to commit to another full time pet, but I still wanted to spend my days caring for animals and helping fellow pet parents. Whether it’s a quick walk, overnight stay, or just some company while you’re away, I’m here to give your pet the love and attention they deserve. I’m especially great with: Puppies and senior pets Shy or anxious animals Keeping routines and providing lots of updates (with cute pics!) At Playful Paws, your pet will feel safe, loved, and totally at home. I work fully remote, and so does my husband, which gives us the flexibility to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a morning walk, a midday check-in, or some evening cuddles, we’re usually home and available to help. Being remote means your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and we can easily adjust to their routine. Weekdays, weekends, we’re here to keep tails wagging and whiskers happy. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m visiting them in your home, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every pet like they’re my own, with patience, love, and respect for their routine. At home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with cozy spaces, a clean setting, and plenty of playtime. My husband and I both work remotely, so someone’s almost always home for companionship and supervision. In your home, I’m mindful of your space and your pet’s habits. I follow instructions closely, whether that’s meal times, meds, or favorite toys, and I always keep things tidy and secure. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your fur baby is in caring, capable hands.

Nice hard I always pick up when they go outside. I am very trustworthy and honest. Will take care of your dog as my own. I have always had dogs. And they have been very spoiled. I will watch as many of dogs as long as you need me to. Hope to hear from you soon

About: 🐾❤ I'm a professional pet sitter and I take the well-being of your animals very seriously (this is not a side job—it's my true calling). I recently moved to Fort Lauderdale and I’m happy to offer personalized pet sitting services to the furry families of this community. 🤗 I’ve lived with animals my whole life and cared for them with love, respect, and responsibility. I understand that each pet is unique: some need playtime and physical activity, while others prefer quiet companionship and predictable routines. My approach is to adapt to their physical and emotional needs so they feel safe, calm, and loved while you’re away. During every visit, I make sure they have everything they need: food, cleaning, and basic medical care if required (I have experience administering oral medication and eye drops), and most importantly—affection. Whether it’s an energetic dog, a shy cat, or an older pet that needs extra attention, they will always receive thoughtful, personalized care. 📸 You’ll receive daily photo updates and clear, consistent communication (in English or Spanish 😉) 💖 Your pets will be treated as if they were part of my own family. Pet care is my full-time job and main focus. I’ve recently moved to Fort Lauderdale and am fully dedicated to offering reliable and loving cat sitting services. Because this is my primary occupation, I have wide availability throughout the week, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. I organize my days around each cat’s needs and routine, making sure they get the time and attention they deserve. Whether it’s one visit a day or multiple check-ins, I’m flexible and committed to providing consistent, high-quality care. While I don’t have a backyard, I provide a clean, quiet, and safe indoor environment where your pet will always feel protected and well cared for. I’m committed to maintaining a low-stress atmosphere, tailored to each animal’s personality and needs. That’s why I never care for cats and dogs at the same time—unless they come from the same household. For added comfort and security, I recommend bringing your pet’s personal items such as their toys, bed, or blanket. Animals rely heavily on scent to feel safe, and familiar smells—like those from their bedding—help reduce anxiety and make it easier for them to adjust to a new environment. This is especially true for more timid cats, who often need consistency and familiarity to feel calm. I provide clean, sanitized food and water bowls for every stay. All you need to bring is their food and any personal items that help them feel at home. Everything else—affection, attention, hygiene, and safety—is fully taken care of. 💖

About: I’ve been a dog mom for over 18 years and grew up surrounded by pups, so caring for dogs feels like second nature to me. I’ve looked after everything from bouncy puppies who never sit still to sweet senior dogs who just want a cozy spot and some gentle love. I’m also experienced with giving medications and helping dogs who need a little extra care or patience. What sets me apart? I treat every dog like they’re my own ..spoiled, loved, and talked to like they actually understand me (because let’s be real, they totally do). Whether your pup loves long walks, belly rubs, or just laying around doing absolutely nothing, I’ve got them covered. I’ll also keep you in the loop with plenty of cute updates along the way! I work from home full-time, which means your pup will get plenty of attention, love, and potty breaks throughout the day. I take my own dogs out several times a day and keep a consistent routine that helps them feel comfortable and cared for.🫶 When caring for pets in my home, safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every dog like part of the family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed from the moment they arrive. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly, with plenty of cozy spots for naps and a peaceful environment for dogs of all ages. I want each dog to feel right at home. For walks, I stay alert to our surroundings, and avoid high-traffic areas or unfamiliar dogs unless discussed beforehand. Whether your pup is staying with me or just joining me for a stroll, you can count on me to treat them with love, patience, and the same level of care I give my own dogs.

“Jennie was great with my pup Chief! He seemed like he had a great time at her place, and she gave great updates while he was there. Will definitely use Jennie again!”


About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I have a true love for animals and am looking to fill my days with something that will make me happy. Working from home means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to what I truly enjoy—caring for animals. I’d love to fill my days with tail wags, purrs, and plenty of affection for your furry family members! I have a cat who gets along with other cats and dogs. The floor on my apartment has a dog run where the animal can go potty and socialise with other dogs if able.

About: I’m a full time animal lover! My passion for dogs specially my own, is what keep my life so great! I’ve had dogs my whole life and absolutely love them! I’m currently becoming a dog groomer so I can keep them fluffy and fresh besides spoiled. I have 2 babies, Blair and Baxter, a King Charles and English bulldog. They’re super friendly, very sweet and full of energy. They love to play with other fur friends! Your babies will love to spend time with us!. We will go for runs on the bay, doggie park at my community, play time at home and snuggle time on the couch. No need to say they will be very spoiled and loved the whole time.

“I’m so lucky and grateful to have Billi as my dog sitter! She is truly attentive and always keeps me updated with plenty of pictures and videos. As a dog mom it's hard to be away from my pup but when my dog (Chance) is with her I feel like I'm there. She’s incredibly reliable and sends updates frequently with videos/pictures. I never have to worry because she’s quick to respond if I do have any questions or concerns. Every time my dog comes home, he’s happy, healthy, and clearly loved like family. It’s such a comfort knowing my pup is in such caring hands! I would highly recommend Billi to watch your furry friend because she loves them like they are hers. I never need to worry about Chance when he's there.”

Juliana D.
“Juliana has been taking care of me for close to two years now. I was a little scared when my dad left for the first time for a weekend in Chicago, but Juliana always made me feel like i was one of her own. Juliana has dogs of her own, so if theres a slumber party its bound to be tons of fun! Juliana takes me to dog parks, Whole Foods, and personally knows the baristas at Starbucks so i can always get my Puppacino fix! (but dad says to ease up on the puppacinos) If dad has to work late or wants to get a beer with his buddies after work, Juliana is a mere minutes away. She loves to take me on long doggie walks and feeds me dinner afterwards. She always follows daddys instructions to the "T". I know Juliana really loves animals, I can tell shes an animal lover! My daddy likes you because you always come when I'm lonely and take me for "walkies" and give me treats. Thanks for taking care of me! Your the best!”
