“Mikayla did a fabulous job sitting for my fur babies! She sent pics and updates often and kept me at ease during my trip. This was the first time I had ever left my dogs with anyone other than family so I was very nervous. But she assured me they were having a good time and we're safe. I would definitely book her again!”



“KENDRA IS AMAZING!!! She has great people, pet, and communication skills! Her and her husband are great company- all of us love them! 🦔🐶 10/10 would recommend booking with Kendra!”


“Josh is always amazing with our three knuckleheads. We have an elderly tripod, a boxer and a large Great Dane. Without a doubt, we always feel comfortable knowing that Josh will care for our boys and communicate regularly.”


About: I’ve cared for animals since I was 11—everything from cats and dogs to hermit crabs and turtles. I specialize in gentle handling, senior care, and puppy patience. Animals feel safe with me. I’m currently in school part-time for wildlife ecology, so animals are a big part of my life and schedule. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. I live on a quiet, abandoned golf course with two dog parks nearby—plenty of safe, open space for pets to play, explore, and feel at home.

About: I have always been an animal lover, and have been watching pets for family and friends for about 5 years. I am available for both in and out of home services, and I look forward to meeting your furry friends! I currently have one cat, but when I pet sit, it's generally pups! I'm familiar and comfortable with any size and breed, as well as accommodating to any special dietary or medication needs. I am currently a commuter student at the University of South Florida, so my schedule is very open! I have full availability Friday-Sunday, have class from 3:30 pm-6:15 pm Monday/Wednesday, and have class from 2:00 pm-4:45 pm Tuesday/Thursday. Maintaining open and frequent communication with pet parents is top priority for me! If a client desires frequent updates or photos of their fur babies I will be more than happy to provide them. I also follow feeding and medication regimens very strictly. Additionally, pets will get outside time as much as possible, and cats will get their litterboxes cleaned routinely. Of course, everybody will also get lots of love, pets and belly rubs! In terms of overnight stays, I do everything in my power to leave the home exactly as it was when I arrived. I also have no problem doing some light cleaning if requested!

About: I’m an animal lover who enjoys playing and cuddling with fur babies. I’m open to meeting the individual and unique needs of every animal I care for. I enjoy creating my own schedule and prioritize care into my routine to soothe, comfort, entertain and provide basic needs for every animal in my care. My availability are weekends and afternoons. Routine schedules for feeding, potty and play time are ideal so I and the animals know what’s coming, if you have a routine set I will gladly flow with what’s already in place.

“Alison recently house sat for us while we traveled out of town for a wedding and was absolutely wonderful! We have a senior cat and two dogs, who don't always take quickly to new people. Alison was extremely calm and patient with their initial barking antics until they settled. It's clear she's had experience with many types of animal personalities and is extremely comfortable as she gets to know new fur babies! She always responded quickly and clearly, kept us updated throughout our trip, and cleaned up flawlessly before leaving. We will definitely request Alison again! :-)”


About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life, and caring for dogs has always come naturally to me. I began my journey as a pet lover with my first dog, Hanna, who was by my side for 14 wonderful years and taught me the true meaning of loyalty and unconditional love. Later, Kira came into our lives unexpectedly, bringing even more joy and companionship to my family. Over the years, I have also taken care of the dogs of friends and family, gaining valuable experience with different breeds, personalities, and needs. Whether it’s providing daily walks, playtime, feeding, or simply giving them comfort and affection, I take pride in offering the same level of care and attention that I would want for my own pets. I believe that every dog deserves to feel safe, happy, and loved, and my lifelong connection with animals allows me to create a warm, trustworthy environment for any pup in my care I am currently a student and work part-time, which allows me to have flexible hours. At the moment, I am available from Wednesday to Friday and on some Saturdays When caring for dogs, I make sure they have plenty of exercise, fresh water, and a clean, safe space. I pay close attention to their routines and adapt to each dog’s personality and needs. I believe in giving them affection and gentle care so they feel happy, comfortable, and Loved

“It was so nice to have such a reliable dog sitter!! Bella was so comfortable with Felicia and so were we!! Highly recommend!! Thank you again for caring for our baby and our home! 🤦♀️”


“Amazing as always! She is so attentive to my pets and so willing to go above and beyond. Trusting someone with my fur babies is hard but I have had no worries with Kirsten. She is truly amazing!”


About: I began pet sitting as a teenager, and have had dogs and cats around me my whole life! I treat every pet as if they are my own, and love getting to know their little Goldilocks personalities! These days, I help out when I can, whether that's house sitting for family (and there's a pig involved!) or for my buddies' pets. I can promise your pet will receive lots of love, attention, and making sure they are safe and comfortable! Endless love for the ones afraid of thunder! I'm currently available from Tuesdays to Saturdays at any time! I will be beginning school at Valencia College this fall, and hoping to keep loving on pets! Will post a detailed schedule once classes are closer to beginning. I will always follow any instruction given to me, whether that is sticking to feeding schedules, managing medications, or leash rules. I want your pet to feel calm and comfortable, even when you're away. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages to ensure your baby is having a good time!

About: Hi I'm Gio. I was born and raised in New York. As a child I was raised with a German Shepard named King as time went on I grew a love for animals and considered them family and friends that should have the same rights to use the bathroom on a daily schedule or when needed along with a walk for exercise. I’ve homed dogs from the street that I’ve found till there owners came to claim them and even when they had no trace of an owner I’ve adopted them for myself. I love dogs and have nothing but the utmost love and respect for them. I always have open arms for a new fury friend to care for to train or show new safe environments to.

About: I’ve taken care of my own pets since I was young but I’ve also watched almost every kind of pet including dogs, birds, fish, alpacas and chickens. I love and care for them as if they were my own. My job allows me to work whenever I’m free so I’m available to watch your furry friends whenever you need me and give them my undivided attention! I can take care of your pets anyway you need me to, I can take them for long walks, administer medication, and fulfill any other requests that will bring you and/or your pet peace of mind while you’re away.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of experience, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals of all ages and needs. We currently have our own dog park on SniffSpot. We love meeting all the different dog friends! I have hands-on experience with everything from energetic puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and care. I’m comfortable administering medication, following special diets, and sticking to training routines, whether it’s crate training a puppy or assisting with mobility support for an older dog. Beyond basic care, I focus on creating a calm, consistent environment where pets feel safe and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet like family, and I always go the extra mile to make sure their routines are followed and their personalities are embraced. I work from home and my daughter is homeschooled so we are available to make your pets feel welcomed & have lots of fun! We would love the opportunity to care for your pups! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in my client’s home, my top priorities are safety, comfort, and consistency with their routine. In your home: I make sure your pet stays in their familiar environment, following their regular schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I provide plenty of companionship and send regular updates so you feel connected while you’re away. I also keep your home tidy and respect your space as if it were my own. In my home: I create a welcoming, stress-free space that’s pet-friendly and secure. I limit the number of pets I care for at one time to ensure each one gets lots of individual attention. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible and provide lots of play, cuddle time, and outdoor breaks. We have a fenced in yard with acres to run! My home is a calm, loving place where your pet will feel safe and cared for.

About: I have loved and cared for my own pets plus those of friends and neighbors. It's been one one of the most rewarding things that anyone can do. I am very happy just being home with my pets. We are not worthy of their love. I welcome the chance to help you care for your fur baby. I am a personal trainer so I have the flexibility to set my own schedule. My weekends are for the most part open, especially during the summer. My pets are my babies. I have cameras strategically placed to help me keep and eye on them at all times. I make sure to take a head count and take lots of cuddle breaks.
