“Once again, Marianne was there for me so I could enjoy a night out with my husband and support him. I’m so grateful for her—I trust her completely with my little puppy. She’s amazing, always there when I need her, and always willing to go out of her way to help in any way she can. She even brought me two key litters—how thoughtful is that?”


“Sheena is amazing! She took care of our dog Harvey for two weeks and she did a great job. He loves her so much he was depressed when she left. We’re already booked her again.”


“Peggy was awesome. We had a last-minute cancellation for a pet sitter and she came in clutch. Not only did you take care of a dog but she watched our kitty and kept the house tidy. Her daughter was lovely as well. I’m glad we met”


“Stephanie watched our very large and anxious dog for three days while we were away. She stayed in our home. She sent regular updates and asked all the right questions. She followed all directions as far as our dogs routine and needs. We came home to a clean home, as we left it! Will book again in future.”


“Catherine did an amazing job cat sitting my fur baby, I always get anxious leaving her but I know she was in great hands so I could be at ease. Catherine has really kind, warm energy, and a big heart. She sent lots of photos and updates, took great care of our home too. I will definitely rebook her in the future for when we travel. Thank you Catherine!”


“Marta is absolutely wonderful! She took the time to get to know our routine and meet our two pups before taking care of them. She was excellent with managing their schedule, cooking their food and taking care of them and our home while we were away. She has a gentle demeanor that our dogs loved. Highly recommend!”



“Camille was wonderful with our elderly pets! We knew when we met her that she was caring and conscientious. She also sent photos and short videos everyday. I highly recommend Camille as an outstanding pet sitter.”



“Jackie has come to the rescue for myself and husband while vacationing in Lauderdale. We have our small 14 year old Maltese with us, and had no choice but to take him with us. He doesn’t do well at boarding facilities. I decided to get a dog sitter with the hopes of finding someone asap that not only takes good care of my dog, but is friendly with myself and husband too. It’s hard to trust good people. Jackie is wonderful and accommodating to the times we need. Will use her again in the future when I’m back in Lauderdale. Highly recommend!”


About: I have owned dogs my whole life. Right now i own a extremely friendly cat. But I have dog care experience my whole life. Your dog will get plenty of play and exercise when they are with me. I live whiten short walking distance of two really nice parks. I am a huge animal lover so now need to worry about your pet not getting any affection from me. I have a large apartment so when your pet is inside my home it will have plenty of roaming room or plenty of carpet space for a nap. I am extremely flexible with times and dog sizes. I would love to do anything from board your dog to walking it to watching it in your home. I am a trustworthy people person. With me you will know your dog is safe and well cared for. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my weekly routine because I’ve built my schedule to be flexible and dependable. I make time each day to care for pets, whether it’s early morning check-ins, afternoon walks, or evening feedings and playtime. I prioritize reliability and punctuality, so I carefully plan my week to ensure every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Since I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, pet sitting is more than just a job—it's something I look forward to every day. Whether I'm working part-time or around school or other responsibilities, I always make sure to maintain consistent availability and communicate clearly with pet parents to meet their needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priority is to maintain a safe, clean, and comforting environment that helps pets feel relaxed and secure in their familiar space. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication routines, walk times, play preferences, and any specific behavioral needs. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection (if they want it!) while also respecting their boundaries and personalities. I keep the home tidy, clean up after the pets, and ensure food/water bowls, litter boxes, and sleeping areas are fresh and organized. I also provide regular updates and photos to keep pet parents informed and reassured. Trust and respect are important to me—not only for the pets but also for the homes I’m welcomed into. I treat every home with care and professionalism, just like I would my own. Unfortunately I can not care for pets in my own at this time because I live in a tiny studio apartment.

About: I've taken care of dogs and other pets since I was a kid. Family, friends, and neighbors have relied on me to walk, feed, and take care of their pets while they were away. I currently work afternoons on a golf course in Doral and am available to walk, feed, and check in on your pets any day before 11AM. I have a fenced in back yard with a pool if your pet gets too hot and likes to swim. Also have a 7 month old friendly and playful French bulldog if your pet likes to have company.

“My first Rover experience went very well! We had a last minute emergency trip and had 24 hrs to find a sitter for a week. Rover to the rescue! Sean came over for the meet & greet so promptly and our fur babies were very at ease with him. After meeting Sean, my anxiety of leaving on such short notice was gone... I felt confident and comfortable having Sean house sit and everything went very well. Updates of pictures of our dog cuddling with him made me so happy that they were more than getting along. Sean was extremely professional at every point and my animals clearly loved him. We will book with him again or sure if need be!”


“Alycia loved on my pup and took wonderful care the entire time. She helped with his medication and even went out of her own way to give him an easier time with better supplies!”


“Susana was nice and prompt. She showed up to all Aurue on time and mostly listened to my direction however, I think there was a bit of a language barrier, and we had complications around communication several times. At one point there was some serious confusion that caused me a lot of stress. I appreciate her helping to take care of Aurie, but unfortunately due to Aurie being so young and the communication barriers we encountered, I don’t think she was the best fit for us.”


“Danielle and Deborah are amazing! They have 3 very friendly and playful dogs and our puppy had a great time with them. They sent us photos and videos of our baby playing and having a great time throughout the night, which we appreciated tremendously. If you love your puppy/dog as much as we love our baby I'm confident that you'll feel very comfortable with Danielle and Deborah.”


About: Honestly my special skill is animals like to be around me. I’m the type of person who has to stop and say hello to every dog I see. I am confident around animals of all sizes. I have had many different types of experience caring for animals from owning my own pets for the majority of my life, to being an in home pet sitter. I also used to have a job where I was required to go into people’s properties and had to interact with all the dogs that would be there to greet me which helped me develop skills on how to handle different situations, having to read the animals as I navigate their yard. I would like pet care to be my full time occupation. I am available week days and weekends. I am willing to travel if needed. I am comfortable with whatever the owner requests. I am available for at home stays for extended periods of time. I am flexible in my schedule.

“Darius did some house sitting for me. Would highly recommend. Was great with my pup took her on long walks and left the place spic and span. Will definitely be rebooking in the future with him.”


“Literally the best pet sitting experience my husband and I have ever had with anyone. Andreina made sure that both of our dogs were happy and comfortable the entire time, and she even made friends with my cats, which can be hard to do sometimes lol. Will be using her for every pet sitting/walking need in the future, and HIGHLY recommend her to everyone on here as well! :)”


About: Besides having raised and cared for my own cats and dogs, I worked in a kennel for years. I walked, feed, cleaned and played with our animal guests. From bottle feedings to administering medications, there is not much that I have not experienced and enjoyed doing while engaged with my own and other people's pets. I dispense my own pet care routines in the morning, midday and evening hours daily. A client's pet care routine will be carried out according to their preference. Any reasonable special needs will be considered and can be discussed. I have two indoor adult cats in my large apartment. One is very active, curious and social and he needs playtime every day. The other one is less active, less social and aloof. Nonetheless, both kitties look forward to their brushing times every day. Once they are satisfied they go to their favorite areas to cat nap or sunbathe near the window and watch birds, squirrels and the busy waterway out back. When pet sitting in a client's home, they can expect that the same attention will be given to their pets, so please be sure to point out their favorite toys, brushes and lounging and hiding spots in the home.

“Maddy was a fantastic sitter for our dog when we went out of town! She also sent plenty of updates and pictures along the way, which we appreciated. When we got home, it was obvious that our dog was well taken care of. Highly recommend using Maddy!”

He gravitates to all dogs of his family, friends, colleagues and any dog passing by on walks. He will always be the one to walk by and stop to pet and talk to your dog if allowed. Never seen him meet a dog he didn’t like”

I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my dog, Blu! She was so attentive and caring the entire week. Even though Blu was technically alone most of the time, it never felt like it — she made sure he was loved and looked after like he was her own. The regular updates and adorable photos were such a comfort, and Blu looked so happy and relaxed the whole time. I completely trust her and now consider her my go-to sitter for any future travel. Highly recommend!

Darius was amazing he made an incredible connection with both dogs for 1 week of in house dog sitting He stayed in touch via text and photos which rally made us feel comforted and good He was always on time and thoughtful and diligent with the care of our pups especially they their 4th of July fireworks anxiety! we would absolutely recommend Darius and plan to use him again for our next trip Thanks Darius!

Shannon was a wonderful sitter for our two doggos and our senior cat. Shannon was very mindful and attentive to our diabetic dog’s diet and medicines and she gave her insulin injections twice a day. We received many updates and photos of the fur babies and felt relief knowing that they were in loving and caring hands. On the day we came back, Shannon even volunteered to stay later with the pups due to the thunderstorm (knowing they were going to be scared). Our house was in immaculate shape and more importantly our pets seemed to really like being with her! We will book Shannon again for our next trip!!

Genesis did a great job with our dog Keenu who is a senior that can sometimes be cranky. She listened to all of our requirements for him and was able to keep him comfortable during a house sit. Would recommend her especially for people with pets that have extra needs. Thank you!

Rayna was absolutely wonderful! From the very beginning, she was easy to communicate with and made me feel completely at ease leaving my pets in her care. She did a fantastic job keeping me updated on how my dog and cat were doing, sending lots of detailed messages and tons of adorable pictures throughout her stay. It was so comforting to know they were in such good hands while I was away. Rayna is professional, reliable, and clearly loves animals. I’ll definitely be using her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter!

What an incredible find in Kaitlyn! She's so sweet and took great care of our home and pets while we were away for 2 weeks. She sent frequent pics and videos, and the animals all look so good. Our senior cat also had unexpected last minute medical needs and she exeuted them flawlessly and even brought her to the vet for us. And she even cleaned up the house and bathed the dog before we got home! Above and beyond! We're very happy with Kaitlyn and think the animals are too. 😻 We'd definitely book with her again!
