Evelyn treated Stella like her own: was eager to check on it, noticed ailments and resolved them. She communicated on the dot and left no room for any mishaps. I'll be having her take care of Stella again at the earliest time available!

About: I have taken care of and lived with pets most of my life, starting around age 10. At any given time, I lived with/cared for 2-4 pets, consisting of cats and dogs, both young and senior (including puppies). I am experienced in all kinds of care - from daily check ins (bathroom breaks, feeding, and playing) to overnight care! I love to be around pets and would love to help out with any pet care needs. I am a full-time college student, yet home for the summer and need a summer job. I will be free mostly every day of the summer. I have an online summer class, but that won't take much of my time at all, so I am very flexible. I can care for pets in any way you might need - I am experienced in all sorts of pet care, including walking (short and long), playing with toys, administering medicine, feeding, and litter box cleanup.

About: I treat every pet like family, giving them personalized love, attention, and care. I'm experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and pets needing extra patience or meds. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! I’m available after 6pm on weekdays and fully open on weekends for walks, drop-ins, cuddles, and quality time. In your home, I follow your pet’s usual routine to keep them comfortable—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or meds. I give them lots of love, attention, and a calm, safe environment. I always respect your space and make sure your pet feels secure and cared for while you’re away.

About: I started caring for dogs when I was 12 years old, where I learned to bathe, feed, and train Golden Retrievers. I continued to implement what I learned with those loving dogs, with my own dog who is now 11 years old and is named Oliver! I treat every dog like my own - with love and care. I am a flexible young woman with time before and after my 9-5! I am dependable, caring and responsible. I love to help care for animals and enjoy helping others in my free time. I care for pets in my clients home by being respectful of the space and leaving food and leashes right where I found them and belong. Being respectful and caring of my client’s pet and space is very important to me.

About: I've been pet-sitting since I was 10 years old. I grew up around dogs and farm animals, and have always loved taking care of them. I'm familiar with all type of breeds and energy levels. I am a voice teacher and singer, so my schedule is very flexible. I can work around almost anything and will be able to give consistent care if needed. Each animal is unique, and I pride myself on being able to adapt easily to new routines so that your fur baby can continue their day with little to no upsets.

About: Growing up with cats and having dogs by my side for the last 25+ years, caring for animals has always been a part of my life. From energetic German Shepherds and loyal Labs to cuddly Maltese, I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have hands-on experience with senior dogs and pups with joint or hip issues, and I’m comfortable administering a wide range of medications (excluding IVs). I know how important it is to be gentle, patient, and attentive to each dog’s unique needs—especially when they require a little extra care. I used to travel often for work, so I personally understand the stress of leaving your beloved pet with someone new. That’s why I’m always happy to provide updates, photos, and reassurance while you’re away. I truly believe the bond between a pet and their person is sacred, and I treat that bond with the utmost respect. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, some playtime, or just a comforting presence, I’ll be there to care for them like they’re my own. I work standard hours Monday-Friday from 8-5 but I work from home so I’m able to stop in during the day. Early mornings, evenings and weekends I will be able to spend more time. I cater to the needs of the pet/owner. Each animal is different and each owner treats their pet differently. I only watch one owner/family’s pet at a time so the level of care your pet will receives is based on your standards.

I set up the appointment with Erin as an opportunity to meet and have an initial interaction. She immediately was focused on building a connection with my Bentley and by playing and interacting was already picking up on nuances of Bentley and showed a genuine interest and affection. I wouldn't hesitate to have Erin spend extended time with Bentley knowing he would be well taken care of. Think he's missing her already!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the deep, lifelong bond I’ve had with animals — especially my own. I’ve had pets my whole life, and most recently cared for my 16-year-old Yorkie (almost 17!) who had kidney disease. He was truly like my child, and during his final chapter, I gave him incredibly loving, one-on-one care every single day. That experience gave me not just senior dog care skills, but a deep understanding of patience, gentleness, and being fully present. I know how much pets mean to us — they’re family — and I treat every animal I care for with that same level of love and attention. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I truly enjoy it — and I’m very flexible and open with my schedule. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care depending on what your pet needs. Whether it’s a midday walk or a weekend stay, I’m happy to adjust to what works best for you and your furry baby. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or visiting yours, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a fully fenced backyard and a pet-friendly home, so pets staying with me will have space to play and relax. I’m also happy to follow any routines or special instructions — feeding, medications, crate use, you name it. If I’m in your home, I treat it with respect and do everything I can to make your pet feel at ease while you’re away. I’m very adaptable and just want your pet to feel happy and cared for wherever they are.

As Sophia’s father, it brings me a deep sense of pride to write this testimonial. From the time she was young, Sophia has had a special, almost instinctive bond with animals—especially dogs. She’s not just good with them; she connects with them in a way that’s rare and beautiful to witness. Now 20 years old and a junior at the University of Florida studying Environmental Science, Sophia has always had a heart rooted in compassion—for nature, for people, and especially for animals. She has grown up with three Golden Retrievers: Dewey, Jackson, and Monte. (Ollie and Charlie our cats too) These dogs weren’t just pets—they were family. I’ve seen her rise early to walk them, nurse them when they were sick, laugh with them, talk to them, and love them with her whole heart. She treats every dog as if they were her own, with patience, gentleness, and a joyful spirit. When Sophia is with a dog, you can feel the mutual trust and love. It’s not forced—it’s who she is. She’s dependable, responsible, and deeply caring. There is no one I would trust more with a beloved pet. If you’re looking for someone to care for your dog the way you would—maybe even better—Sophia is the one. I give her my wholehearted recommendation and a very enthusiastic 5 out of 5 stars. Sincerely, Bruce Famiglio A very proud father

Erica is amazing with animals. She goes above and beyond for her pets. Erica provided a wonderful life for her Yorkie of 17 years. He was loved and well taken care of. She also has tons of experience watching many of her friends and relatives pets and treats them as if they are her own. I can't think of anyone better than her to watch your pets. You can absolutely count on her to give them as much love and attention as they deserve.

I follow their usual routines as closely as possible from feeding schedules and walks to playtime and cuddle sessions. I make sure they get plenty of attention and affection while keeping their space clean and secure. My goal is to provide a calm, loving presence so your pet feels safe and happy while you’re away.

Emma was super awesome with our little girl. She pulled through last minute and was super flexible. Highly suggest Emma to take care of your pets.

I booked Gina VERY last minute for two weeks to feed and visit my 3 cats plus my daughter's cat. We did two meets before and after the first, I completely felt great vibes. I have one cat, Oliver that never comes out for anyone other than us. I got a picture of him on I think her second visit! She was wonderful about sending pics and updates. She let them out on my lanai to get some fresh air on her visits. Really can't say enough good things about her. Will definitely be booking her for future visits and house stays next time!

Nadia was a very calming influence on our cats while we were away for a week. I highly recommend her and hope she'll be available the next time we go away!

Maggie was absolutely incredible! I was so lucky to have found her. She was so patient with my pups and their anxiety with my being gone. It looked like they warmed right up to her. She communicated daily and took pictures. They had a few accidents and Maggie was so pleasant about everything. I would definitely recommend her.

Kathy was absolutely wonderful! Our cat is a senior kitty and is very shy. Kathy sent us photos after every visit and even encouraged our cat to come out of his hiding spot and spend some time with her, which he seemed to love. Kathy kept him well fed and hydrated, and our cat was very happy and relaxed when we came back home. We highly recommend Kathy!!
