“Austin was great! He clearly loves dogs. He was friendly and professional.”


About: I have grown up with multiple pets in the house and have been taught how to care for them. During the summer when I was on break I would stay home everyday and care for our dogs and cats making sure they were fed, had fresh water, plenty of attention and play time, and frequent bathroom/outside time. My husband and I currently have two indoor cats whom we love with our whole hearts! I am a teacher during the school year so I have summers off! I’m looking to make a little extra money while getting to spend time with other’s precious fur babies since we can’t have our own dog right now. I love dogs and cats of all sizes and would love to take care of them for you! I will make sure your pet gets the best care possible and that everything in your home is cleaned and left as I found it!

About: I absolutely love dogs, grew up with a Shih Tzu Poodle and now my mom has a pure bred Shih Tzu that I steal from time to time (see picture). My boyfriend’s family has an English setter and a blue healer, so I love hunting/high energy dogs as well! I do work a full time sales job, but it is very flexible when I have a heads up. I’m unable to work fully from home, so dogs that are ok being alone for a few hours work out well. I live in a 2,200 sq ft town home, and a half fenced in yard. Just me and my boyfriend live here so no kids or other animals will be around. We do allow dogs on the furniture and they can sleep with us if they’d like, we like to snuggle

About: I adore animals. I love being the highlight of their day when I get home. I love training my dogs to learn new tricks and getting to reward them. I currently work from home so I am pretty flexible on when I can be available. I also have availability during the evenings and weekends with advance notice. I am unable to have pets in my apartment, so I will come to you! I am very gentle with dogs but lead with command when necessary. With cats, I let them lead and show me what they need and respect their space as they tend to be more cautious. I make sure that each animal feels loved but also safe when I am around.

About: I have loved animals from day one. I slept with so many stuffed animals my dad called my bedroom the animal kingdom. Which is now what I call my house. I have 2 cats and 3 dogs. I was a manager at a a pet store for a couple of years. So I have experience with creatures of all sizes. I hope you’ll trust me to care for your babies. My job is very flexible and I have the option to work remote if need be. I am usually always around on weekends unless otherwise specified. I am open to how your routine goes. I want it to be a seamless transition for your pet. I will care for them how you see fit.

About: Hi! I’m Cody, a lifelong dog lover and dependable caretaker ready to treat your pup like family. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, a cozy place to stay, or just some extra TLC while you're away, I’ve got it covered. With a calm and friendly approach, I cater to each dog’s unique personality and needs – from playful puppies to senior snugglers. I am off for the summer as I am a teacher most of the year. I am very flexible and willing to cater to your busy schedule to be available as often as possible for your pets! I myself have two very friendly wiener dogs at my house with a very large yard for dogs to run around and play in. I have plenty of extra leashes and never let the dogs out of my sight or reach.

About: Had my nearly 15 year old childhood dog pass away a couple years ago. He required lots of support toward the end of his life and was treated as a member of the family. Comfortable working with senior pups! Currently have a two year old terrier puppy with a lot of energy. I’d love to work with dogs with lots of play time needed. I am a soon to be teacher and will have summers off. I will have a very open schedule for the summer and would love to get some visits booked! I am comfortable walking dogs or just taking them out. If you have a fenced in yard I would love to play fetch. Can feed pets if needed.

“Sydney is great! I would 100% recommend her and we will hire her again.”


“Katie was great with our dog, she sent us an update and pictures , she is great , super recommended!! Thanks so much!!”


About: I’ve taken care of family, friends, and neighbors dogs since I was little. I have experience ranging from newborn puppies to large energetic dogs to geriatric small dogs. I can walk, bathe, and pet sit dogs (and cats) of all kinds. I’m currently an unemployed college student home for the summer. I’m available pretty much anytime of the day Monday through Friday. During the weekends I’m a little busier so my time is more limited. I always put the dogs safety and comfort first. I follow care instructions closely and make sure they’re happy, secure, and well cared for. You can trust me to treat them like my own.

“Amy is the absolute best!! I had ankle replacement surgery and couldn't walk my dog. Amy helped make my recovery easier knowing my dog was in good hands and getting his walks everyday. He would lay by the front door waiting for Amy and get super excited when she came in. I highly recommend Amy and will definitely use her again. :)”


About: I share my genuine love for long walks and outdoor adventures—because a tired dog is a happy dog! I pair that exercise with plenty of treats, endless smiles, and lots of love. Whether it’s a relaxed stroll or a playful romp, I make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and truly cared for every step of the way I have a full time remote (work from home) career with flexibility to add some walks and cuddles to my day. I am able to drop in for a walk/feeding/attention or I can accommodate extra furry friends at our home. I am a wife and mom of an active family of 5 with 3 college kids and a 5 year old golden retriever. I live in a quiet neighborhood on a lake where I spend as much time as possible outdoors.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 13 years old. I’ve grown up having dogs my entire life to getting a dog of my own. I’ve spent my life around dogs of various breeds from Shibas to Goldendoodles to Bernese Mountain dogs to Saint Bernards. Through these years I’ve trained puppies whether at home or attending classes and volunteered at various animal shelters. I have a special place in my heart for dogs and promise to care for your dog the way I would my own! I work from home so my schedule is very flexible, including weekends. I can plan around pretty much anything. Would prefer advance notice for any weekend pet care. I can easily drive over to either take your dog for a walk, check in, or watch your dogs in my home for some doggy daycare.

About: I have grown up taking care of my one to two dogs my whole life. I used to take care of my neighbors cats and dogs. I have always loved animals. My childhood dream job was to be a vet. I will be working part time this summer and I'm excited to get to know your furry friend. I'm available mostly during the week for dog walking and some weekends for house sitting. I will take care of your dog like my own and make sure your house is well taken care of. Your dog and house are in good hands.

About: Mom to humans and mom to fur babies!! Flexible schedule, attentive to details, and a love for your pets is what you’ll get. Leave your home in peace! Most my kids are either out of the house or living independently at home still. I have the flexibility in my schedule to care for your home and/or pets!! And I have the life experience to do it responsibly!! I’ll watch your pets responsibly in your home. They will be at ease staying in their usual surroundings while you’re away. I will bring my care and love and treat them like my own!

About: I’ve always had a special place for animals! Growing up, my home was sanctuary to 3 dogs, a cat, sweet guinea pigs, and even on occasion a ladybug or butterfly (in order to prove my caregiving skills to my parents). From my days dog-walking and pet-sitting, I honed in my pet are skills during my time working for a pet store and boarding clinic called Lucky Pets. At Lucky Pets I was able to master my pet-sitting skills, absorb many different types of dog training methods, and learn about all sorts of pet products and pet needs. I’m currently a recent graduate and UCF ROTC commissionee of the U.S. Army, and I’m awaiting my orders this summer. I have a car, and I’m able to drive to your house to watch over your pet! I’m very comfortable hanging out with your pet in mine or your home, and I’m able to feed, walk, and play with any animal big or small!

About: Wildlife rehabilitator and holistic nutritionist. I have worked with dogs and cats for many years. I have veterinary experience so I can administer PO, topical, IM, and subq meds. I have worked with special needs and geriatric animals of all kinds. I’m currently working on nutritionist certifications and am looking for a job. Right now I have tons of time for pet care! I will make my schedule fit yours! I listen to the desires of the client as to what works for their pet. I can walk dogs, crate them, spend the day with them, etc. whatever they need!

“Thank you Jennifer not only did she walk Benny, she also checked on my kitty and cat! Thank you thank you and thank you!!”


About: I have had my own dogs and cats for 15 years and have cared for many others as a child, for friends, and for family. I currently have two cats and a dog of my own!

“Brittany has cared for my cat and dog multiple times. She’s amazing. Snuggly with my cat and playful with my dog; she gives each the type of attention they need. The absolute stamp of approval was when I got home and the cat didn’t hate me. I’ve also seen Brittany with her own dog, the kindest gentlest pitty I’ve met; it’s easy to tell animals get a lot of love from her.”

16. Mia R.
“Mia is the best!! She is a true dog lover and will take amazing care of your pet. My dog Jackson can be slightly difficult to handle but I have no worries with Mia. She also is very energetic and athletic so I know she will ensure Jackson gets plenty of exercise. Mia is responsible, organized and caring. She will give your dog plenty of love and attention. She follows directions and is also super good with dog photography (which I think is a perk). I STRONGLY suggest Mia as a pet sitter.”


17. Lauren R.
“Lauren is awesome! She has taken care of our dog Kindra, a beagle mix, on several occasions. Lauren is very responsive and easy to work with. She has been happy to go over our (lengthy!) list of care instructions with us. Lauren has a calming presence with animals, and she is one the few people our dog will not bark at if seen on a walk (believe me, this is rare!). Lauren has a strong background working with animals, both academically and hands on. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for help with their pets!”
