“Elizabeth made herself available for a last minute check in visit and was reliable, friendly, and knowledgeable. I will (and already have) rebooked with her and would recommend her to others.”


“Dawn was excellent! This is my first time using Rover and I wasn’t sure what to expect, but Dawn was very responsive, sent updates and pics, and did a great job taking care of Hank, my 17 year old cat. She followed the food, treat, and litter box routine (which is a little complicated bc of his health issues). Dawn even let Hank enjoy the morning sun on the porch (which required a little bit of set-up). I highly recommend her as a sitter and will be a repeat customer.”

About: Ever since I was a child, I've been around animals. I grew up with four dogs of my own, which has made it easy for me to become responsible with pet care. As I grew older, I often got asked to pet sit for my family, neighbors, and friends. Also, during my senior year of high school, I was in a club that was dedicated to helping animals. I am well knowledged on how to take care of dogs of all ages. I'm currently a freshman in college at Florida Atlantic University. However, I do not have class on Saturday, Sunday, or Monday and a maximum of two classes during the week. My classes at max are only an hour and 20 minutes, which makes my schedule very flexible. At home, I am responsible for walking, feeding, grooming, and watching my pets when my family is out of town. I love my pets and take care of them like they are my children, and I always treat other animals the same way.

About: I grew up with pets, but getting my own puppy this year made me fall in love with caring for dogs all over again💕 I’m calm, consistent, and love dogs of all ages! I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so I can easily fit in walks and drop-ins throughout the day. I’m happy to work my schedule around your needs (and sunrise walks are my favorite! 🌅) For walks and drop-ins, I focus on making pets feel comfortable and cared for in their own space. I follow instructions closely to ensure your pet is getting everything they need!

About: Together we have years of caring for our own pets as well as for family and friends. We have experiences with cats and dogs of all ages and sizes. Since we don't have any pets at the moment, we are so excited to treat yours as our own! We are happy to care for your dog based on your specific needs. We know that each pup requires love and care in their own way. We are totally available for your pet on weekends and have lots of availability during the week! During the week, our schedules are almost opposite so one of us will available during most times of the day. We have no pets in our home so our attention will be all on yours. Since there are two of us, your pet will always have someone to make sure they are happy!

“Michelle took excellent care of my cats while I was away. She provided daily updates and photos, which kept me reassured. I will definitely be reaching out to her for future pet-sitting needs.”


About: My interactions with pets came in the form of an 8 week old puppy named Lola gifted to me for my birthday. Lola is now turning 10 years old and having her has gifted me the experiences of interacting with other pets. I have had the pleasure of dog sitting, play dates, and dog walking pets of various sizes and ages for the last 10years! I truly love the bond that dogs hold with humans and as someone that’s looking to turn a passion into a career, I’m so excited to have the time to take this opportunity to start. I currently work a part time job with a flexible schedule which is the perfect scenario for pet walking and pet sitting! I live in a home with a fenced in back yard. I have a lot of experience with bringing dogs to public dog parks as I know the signs for high stress situation. I have a very large fenced in backyard with a large oak tree that provides shade and places for dogs to sit and relax. Plenty of room for fun games! I I have the ability to keep my pets separate from others if that’s needed! I also live across the street from a nature preserve that’s walking distance fora change of scenery and more exercise.
