“Estefania was a perfect sitter! She went above and beyond for me while I was away. My cat was in love with her and he looks forward to her next visit. Thank you!”


“Heather is absolutely attentive, professional and reliable. She has a way with my dog. It must be because she has so much dog experience, is so caring, and has a background in healthcare. I know I can rely on her. She sends the best videos and pictures. I hope we continue to work together for a long time!”


About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes and love giving them the attention, playtime, and care they need. I’m great with puppies, follow care instructions closely, and always treat pets like family. I’m currently in between jobs and have a very open, flexible schedule. I’m looking for something meaningful to fill my time and what better way than spending it with dogs! I don’t have one of my own right now, so I’d love the chance to care for yours and give them all the love and attention they deserve. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I make sure pets are always in a safe, clean, and calm environment. I follow all care instructions closely, keep a close eye on them during walks or playtime, and make sure they feel comfortable and loved. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always prioritize their well-being.

“Most pet parents can agree it can be challenging to find someone you can trust to take care of your pet/fur baby for you. However, Alyssa was very attentive and did an excellent job taking care of my cat while I was away for a week.”


“She is OUTSTANDING!!! Dependable and reliable. She takes very good care of creed while my wife and I are away. Highly recommend Krystal to everyone!!”


“Dawn is amazing! Our formal introduction was at a local coffee shop and it was immediate she was PURRFECT to take care of my not-to-social indoor cat. We passed by my house to introduce her to Tuxie (my cat) and I was surprised Tuxie responded to Dawn. While I was away, Dawn sent me pictures, which makes me at ease. Highly recommend and I’ve already booked her again! ???”


“Robin did a fantastic job! She kept our cats happy and well cared for while we were away. She's reliable, responsive, and stays connected with lots of updates, which gave us real peace of mind. On top of that, she went above and beyond by helping with a leaking A/C issue—something we truly appreciated. Highly recommend Robin for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”


“Jessica accepted a last minute request to check in on my cat daily over the holiday weekend. Leaving your pet is incredibly stressful, but I definitely felt at ease knowing she was there to check in on him. She was great at communicating. Thanks again for coming through on such short notice!”


About: Basic rules for training puppies to socialize and interact with other dogs, and caring for and protecting older dogs when feeding, care and walking them. Because I have a flexible work schedule, I can care for your pet from Monday to Sunday, starting at 8 a.m. at the times that are most convenient for you, until 7 p.m. For the service I offer, I make sure that your pet has the necessary safety measures so that my work can be carried out with confidence, avoiding stress in the pet and that it has a fun and safe walk.

“Anastasiia and Vadim are the only ones to go to! They were timely and attentive to all of our pets; even the one we had on an automatic feeder. I would recommend them to all of my family and friends if they ever needed help like we did. I appreciate everything they’ve done for us and know anyone else that books with them will be in good hands.”


About: Hi, I’m Kennedy! I’ve cared for pets in all kinds of homes, from cozy cabins in Montana to sunny apartments here in Florida. Over the years, I’ve fostered dogs of all ages and personalities, from bouncy puppies to gentle seniors, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of needs and temperaments. I treat every pet like they’re my own, giving them plenty of love, attention, and care while keeping their routines consistent. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or just hanging out together, I’m here to make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I’m also experienced with house sitting, so you can trust that your home will be looked after just as carefully as your pets. If you’re looking for a reliable sitter who will treat your pets like family, I’d love to connect! Pet care is part of my everyday life, I’ve fostered for years, so caring for animals is second nature to me. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to give pets regular walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. Whether it’s morning cuddles, midday walks, or evening wind-downs, I make sure each pet feels loved and cared for. I keep pets safe, happy, and comfortable by following their usual routines and giving them plenty of love and attention. In your home, I respect your space and keep doors and gates secure. In my home, I provide a cozy spot, fresh water, and a safe environment free from hazards. You’ll always get updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands.


About: I've had animals all through my life, trained veterinary assistant and worked in the field for many years. Recently moved to Florida and would love to help others. Currently not working so have plenty of time to help care for your pet(s). Very flexible schedule to for yours. Please reach out work any questions. I have a fenced in yard and also take my dogs for walks. I tend to just leave my door open so they can go in and out whenever they choose until bedtime.

About: Do you love spoiling your furbaby? If so, look no further! We are a family of dog lovers who love nothing more than treating your dog like family. As the former owners of a precious, gentle, and spoiled boxer who lived to the ripe old age of 12.5, our kids ask almost every day for us to adopt another dog. While we aren't quite ready to own another one just yet, we love keeping our doors wide open to care for dogs and are looking to meet a few new fur friends! In addition to having owned a dog, we have experience caring for other people's dogs off and on for the past fourteen years. Our children (aged 6 and 8) have been raised to both love and respect dogs, and love to play, cuddle, and care for dogs without overwhelming them and making sure their needs are met. Take a look at the pictures to see them in action! We know that every dog has different needs, and we are sensitive to them. We have a wonderfully walkable neighborhood, a five-foot-high concrete fenced in backyard, and plenty of hands ready to pet and play. We allow dogs on our furniture and our bed if that's what your doggo needs! When caring for an animal, we try to cater to their needs as much as possible. We are happy to keep your dog on their routine at home, and also enjoy bringing them into our routines as they would like. One of our humans works from home full-time, and the other part-time, and the two little humans are both in elementary school. As such, there's typically always a human at home to tend to your animal's needs. We have a very dog friendly home, with tile floors throughout and a fully fenced in backyard. We have a very walkable neighborhood and working from home, we believe in plenty of walks if that is what your dog enjoys. If your dog loves car rides, we are happy for them to join us in dropping off and picking up our kids from school. We enjoy the occasional hike and a trip to Starbucks, so if your dog likes that too, a hike and a pup cup are something we're happy to spoil your dog with. If your dog is a lap dog, we love to Netflix and chill and always have an open lap. To limit dander, we do give a quick bath in our walk-in shower after your dog has settled in for those who haven't had a recent bath. If this causes excessive anxiety, we do request that your dog is recently bathed before coming over.

About: Dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family, and I’ve been loving and caring for them like that my whole life. I’ve had my own dog for 8 years and have been the go-to dog walker, sitter, and snuggle provider for friends and neighbors since I was a kid. I know how much trust it takes to let someone else care for your pup, and I treat every walk like it’s my own dog on the other end of the leash. Whether your dog is high-energy or more of a sniff-and-stroll type, I’ve got them covered—with patience, love, and lots of tail wags. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because it’s genuinely what I love to do. After taking care of my own animals each morning, I’m fully available throughout the day to dedicate time, attention, and affection to other people’s pets. Whether it’s walks, playtime, belly rubs, or just keeping them company while their humans are at work, I’m here to help give them the happiest, most loved day possible. I treat every pet like my own and find so much joy in making sure they feel safe, seen, and cared for while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or theirs, I focus on creating a calm, loving environment where they feel safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible—whether that means sticking to specific walk times, feeding schedules, play styles, or cuddle preferences. I take time to learn each pet’s personality and comfort level so I can show up for them in the way they need. My goal is always to make them feel right at home, even when their favorite human is away.

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and have been caring for them my whole life. My family often rescued and fostered dogs, so I have hands-on experience with many breeds, sizes, and personalities—including shy or anxious pups. Over the years, I’ve continued dog sitting for friends, family, and clients, and it’s something I truly love doing. I'm available Monday through Friday with a flexible schedule, making it easy for me to provide dog walking and pet sitting throughout the day. Whether your pup needs a midday walk, company while you're at work, or just some extra attention, I'm here to help with reliable and loving care. I care for pets in their own homes, where they feel most safe and comfortable. I follow any specific routines or instructions you provide, whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or administering medication. I make sure your pet feels loved and cared for while you're away, and I always keep you updated with messages and photos.

“Mara made an instant connection with my shy girl Prima! She did a great job taking care of Prima while I was away and always made sure to send me videos or pictures when she was doing her drop in to visit and care for Prima. Her communication was good and she was flexible with things like scheduling the meet and greet and returning the keys to my apartment.”

Patrick & Meredith H.
“Patrick and his wife, Meredith, adopted an aging boxer after a neighbor had her first child and the child had allergies to the dog. They loved and babied that boxer in his last years as if they had gotten him when he was a pup. When the original owner would come over to walk or visit the boxer, the boxer would obediently greet the original owner and then quickly hide behind furniture for fear he'd have to go back to his original home. He knew he had it too good to leave Patrick and Meredith. Seeing how they preciously treated that boxer, friends started asking if they would care for their dogs when they were out-of-town. The friends' dogs loved coming to their house to stay and play because they were made to feel part of the family. Home away from home!”
