“Emily watched our dachshund for the weekend and Max enjoyed every minute of it. She spent lots of time with him and gave him lots of cuddles. We will definitely be using Emily again”

About: I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love caring for animals. I’ve cared for various dog breeds since I was 18 for neighbors, family friends, and home healthcare patients. My experience includes walking, feeding, playtime, companionship, and ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine this summer because I have a very flexible schedule. I’m available for a variety of walking and drop-in times throughout the day and enjoy staying active and spending time with your pup. I do my best to stick to the routines each pet is most comfortable with to help them feel safe and more relaxed for while their owner is away. I prioritize and creating a calm and positive environment to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both pets and owners
“You’ll love Charles and your pets will too. Our new puppy was sad we left him for a few hours, but Charles was there for him. While we were away we checked in, and Charles promptly replied and even sent a photo. Hire Charles- you will be glad you did.”

About: I have been caring for pets of family and friends since childhood, and over time it naturally became a passion. I have experience with cats, large and small dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, and currently I have a rabbit of my own. I am also an exotic pet lover. I have always researched and studied a lot about animal care and health, I like to go beyond the basics to make sure I can provide the best care for my pets. One of my biggest challenges (and achievements) was training my rabbit at home <3 I have always been very attentive with my pets’ health, I even had a personal veterinarian for all of them, including routine check-ups for my hamster haha. For me it is really easy to have a connection with animals and quickly build trust with them, which helps me understand their needs and behaviors. I truly hope to become a veterinarian in the future and continue dedicating my life to animal care. I believe that any living being that is dependent and innocent deserves the highest level of care, love, and protection possible. I currently work part-time, but due to the low season I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I’m able to adapt easily to each pet’s needs and provide consistent, loving care throughout the day. I live in a gated community, in a apartment with a lot of space. The condominium offers a dedicated dog park with a fenced area where dogs can safely run and play, as well as walking trails for daily exercise. If needed, I can also share photos of the environment so you can feel fully confident and comfortable about where your pet will be staying <3
“Lydia did a wonderful job with our dogs and cat! She made sure to send picture updates throughout her stay. Very professional, house was kept tidy and in the same condition as we left it. We really enjoyed having her in our home, she really did love and care for our fur babies as much as we do! Will be booking for future stays.”
“Luis was great! She kept my girl company all week and made sure she was well taken care of. Also very respectful of my house and space. Easy to communicate with. Looking forward to booking him again for future trips!”

“Sarah is exactly who you would want with your dog, if you love your dog. She is kind and sincere, as well as understands how important my dog is to me. I will not hesitate to contact Sarah every time I need a sitter/ walker/ friend for my dog.”
“Abagael was punctual, easy to talk to and Coco took to her almost immediately! She sent pics and kept us in the loop knowing Coco was being cared for and enjoying her evening. Abagael was also to stay a bit longer than expected! So happy to have found her! Will def rebook!”
“Terri was great with my babies. She sent me pictures often and kept me updated on how they were doing. When I returned home, my apartment was still clean and well taken care of. I will definitely use her again.”

“Lydia was excellent! Attentive, courteous, respectful and took amazing care of our two pups and outdoor cat! She stayed at our home, took great care and respect of the space, and kept in communication as needed. The dogs loved her and we look forward to being able to use her again!”

“I highly recommend Kashmir! She took great care of our 3 kitties. She even took time to allow one of my cats to drink from the sink, since he's so picky about the water bowls. She was also great about keeping in touch and giving updates/pictures, which gave us a great peace of mind. I've already booked her for our next trip out of town!”

“Christelle was so communicative and helpful. Our pets were well taken care of, she sent photos every day and the house was clean when we got home. I will definitely be using her services again!”


About: I’m an overnight journalist who just recently made the big move from Arkansas to Florida! I have had animals my entire life up until this move (so hard to leave family pets!), so would love the chance to take care of your furry friend while also using up both of our extra energy through walks/playtime! I work overnights (typically 11 PM to 8 AM) so am available all day for drop-ins/walks! I am more than happy to plan my sleep around your pet. Just let me know what you need and I’m happy to help. ***PLEASE READ: I am happy to accommodate same-day bookings if you book in the morning! If you’re requesting a booking after ~2 p.m. there’s a chance I won’t see it until the evening! (Feel free to book evening times… just need to know by 2 that day!) If you have questions just message me :) I’ve owned pets my entire life and understand that every furry friend has different needs and boundaries. I am more than willing to accommodate anything needed to keep your pet feeling safe and happy. I do not have other animals so will be able to provide your pet with my full attention! Whether your pet requires a long walk or a short one… extra play time or prefers to stay mostly to themselves… I’m your girl!
“I can’t say enough good things about Laci. She took such good care of our big needy golden doodle while were on vacation and sent me several pictures daily. She left our house super clean and went above and beyond any expectations we could have had. I highly recommend her!!!”

“Taylor was great watching over our dog Calvin. She sent plenty of pictures and updates while we were away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone that needs a dog sitter, and we hope to use her again in the future.”
“Rebeca was AMAZING with our boys! It was so nice to be able to go away and know that our boys were in such good hands! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who wants their fur babies taken care of and loved on when you are away.”

Jess was a great sitter! She was on time, very responsive, and sent regular updates throughout the day, which I really appreciated. Communication was easy and I felt totally comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands and having an amazing time. Would absolutely book again.

It’s always difficult leaving your babies when you travel. Our previous “Auntie” no longer does extended stays; but, helped in finding a replacement. Kristin was the perfect fit. From first meeting; to second meeting with her boy; to the stay. We could not have had better. Daily updates, plus extra cuteness pics… Thorough updates for our Senior boy with cancer. We had zero stress, because both of our dogs looked so happy and relaxed! Thank you Kristin! You are such an amazing person! And we love Tuck! Will definitely book you again🤙🏽💙
