“Britney and her mom were phenomenal! She accepted the last minute booking and cared for my boys so well! She stayed with them for hours and they got the attention and love. I came home to my house being clean and no accidents or messes. Thank you guys so much! I will definitely be using again!”


About: I'm currently dog mom to a sweet 3-legged Dachshund mix rescue named Penny and have rescued many cats and dogs as pets since I was a child. In my personal pet parent experience, I've cared for a senior dog with cancer, dealt with multiple emergency room vet visits for cats and dogs, nursed back to health a 20 year old Cornish Rex that had an infection-turned-abscess in her mouth, lost another cat to a sudden heart attack, and helped an outdoor pet cat survive multiple life threats, including being hit by a car. In short, I've coped with a lot of challenging pet-related emergencies, special needs, and losses, which means I understand how important reliable, responsible, loving care is to other pet parents. I've enjoyed pet and house sitting for dogs and cats of all ages over the last three years across Tampa, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and Los Angeles, and would love to spend more of my time caring for pets. I'm a remote business owner with a flexible schedule and who can work from anywhere there is wifi, which means I can be available last minute, if needed. I own a remote business that can be operated from anywhere there is WiFi and choose my own hours, so I have a very flexible schedule and the ability to pet sit on short notice. I have been pet sitting, staying in other people's homes, for the past three years, trusted to care for both pets and multi-million dollar condos and single-family homes. I treat every home as if it were mine, respecting homeowners' privacy, keeping doors / windows / alarms secure, ensuring the continued safety and wellness of the pets, returning household items to their usual places, and cleaning and tidying up before I finish the sit.

“Michelle is an amazing pet and home sitter! She went above and beyond to make our dog Lacy happy and content. She kept a photo album and sent daily updates of their walks together and sweet photos of Lacy sleeping, playing and eating. Michelle also prepared Lacy’s homemade meals and lovingly played the same music, as when I’m home. It made being away much more enjoyable knowing Lacy was in such good hands. Thank you Michelle!”


“Nabilah has sat for 2x now each time she is 100% on task with Cassidy informative, followed all directions to assist with Cassidy’s schedule and medication needs, we are always confident that Cassidy will be in great hands with Nabilah!!!!! Thank you against Jean”


About: After my Labrador passed away in year 2018, I started dogwalking others in my neighborhood. I have recently moved and am looking for more dog walks. My time is flexible as long as it fits with my schedule. I don't have a lot going on in my schedule, so I can definitely fit in pet care. I always make sure I introduce myself first to your pets by talking in a sweet, calming voice and kneeling down to their level. First impressions are everything 😉

“She was available last minute and accepted it! I always know my dogs are in good hands when I’m out town and she cares for them! She truly is amazing! Let’s you know when she is going to your house, when she got there and than sends pictures and videos, tells you what the dogs did or didn’t do and sends a picture of the door locked! Truly amazing and will continue booking with her in the future!”


“We love Moxie! It’s been hard to find someone who is comfortable with our two big pups, and she was amazing with them. She sent lots of pictures and even took the time to clean one dogs ears when he was a bit itchy. We will definitely be reaching out to her again soon.”


“Shauna spent a week house sitting for our two large, special needs dogs and did an AMAZING job with them!! They each take multiple medications every 12 hours and can be reactive with other dogs, so it was such a relief to finally find a trustworthy dog sitter who wasn’t phased by their all their quirks! We will definitely choose Shauna again the next time we leave the town—the dogs can’t wait!”


About: I provide personalized attention, tailoring my care to each pet's unique needs and personality. I'm an experienced handler, skilled in caring for pets of all ages, including puppies and seniors. I have specialized training in puppy training and socialization, helping your furry friend develop good habits. I'm gentle and patient, providing comfort and companionship to older pets. I'm reliable and trustworthy, giving you peace of mind while you're away. As a full-time pet sitter, my daily routine includes morning and evening walks and playtime, feeding, grooming, administering medication if needed, cleaning living areas and litter boxes, providing companionship and affection, and scheduling vet visits and grooming appointments. I provide personalized care to pets in my home or client's home, including feeding, walking, playtime, grooming, and administering medication if needed, while ensuring a safe, clean, and loving environment tailored to each pet's unique needs and routine.

About: Hi! I’m your dog’s new best friend and your go-to sitter for premium, personalized pet care. I live alone in a dog-friendly home and work remotely, so I spend every day side by side with the pups I watch whether that’s going on long walks, playing in the yard, or curling up together after a fun-filled day. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and cared for all types: hyper, lazy, social, shy, quirky, even a few trouble makers! From high energy fetch to nap loving couch potatoes, I’ve learned that patience is everything. And that’s something I have in abundance. Over the years, I’ve volunteered at shelters, helped with rescues, and been the go-to pet sitter for countless friends and family. I’m also a big believer in active, enriching care expect your pup to get their steps in with me! If they love running, we’ll hit the pavement. If they love sniffy walks and belly rubs, we’ve got that covered too. Since leaving for college, these have been the only years of my life without a dog under my roof and I miss that connection more than anything. That’s why every pet I care for gets treated like my own: with structure, affection, and non-stop attention. Whether you're heading out for a few hours or a few days, you can relax knowing your dog is loved, safe, and having a tail wagging good time. Please contact for more information. I am a full time pet sitter and have full time availability + 24/7 supervision any day of the week! Can also do over nigh stays per request. In My Home: I live alone, work from a dog-safe home, and am always present. Dogs are uncrated unless specified. They have cozy rest areas, play zones, and safe indoor/outdoor access. Care is personalized long walks, enrichment games, or quiet time and I adhere to your feeding, medication, and potty schedules, providing consistent updates. In Your Home (Drop-Ins & Walks): I respectfully follow your instructions. Your pet gets my full attention during visits or walks. I refresh food/water, clean accidents, administer meds, and provide detailed updates. Walks prioritize safety (no off-leash unless secure, gear checks). I am warm, reliable, and deeply respect your pet's comfort and your trust.

About: I have a good understanding and love for dogs. I’m a responsible pet owner who is attentive, timely and consistent. I’m a strong believer that every dog should be treated with kindness and respect. I’m from Texas and new to Florida. I have horses and cows back home and have been around animals my whole life. I’m very comfortable with administering medications topical or oral from personal experience with my pets. I work full time but can leave work in a moments notice. I normally work 9am-4pm with a long lunch break and I’m off on weekends and all holidays. I have more than enough time to check on pups before work, during lunch break as well as after work and through the night. If my schedule says open for any house sitting jobs then I’m completely off from work those days. I am happy to provide regular updates and photos to keep pet parents informed while they are away. I will communicate with parents and see what they are comfortable with me doing for in home visits, walks and drop ins. I prioritize the safety of all pets in my care.

This allows me to cater to all of your fur babies needs throughout the day :) I have front fenced yard and a dog and a cat to keep your fur baby comfortable and occupied if they were staying with us! Any special instructions needed at the clients home can be followed with no issue.

“Ethan was a great pet/house sitter for our two dogs (including one that is a 10 month old puppy)! He came over and met them in advance and the dogs warmed up to him quickly. Ethan let me know how things were going while we were away. He did a nice job cleaning up before he left, confirmed his leave time would work, and gave me an update before he left. We look forward to having Ethan watch our dogs again when we can get away.”

“My friend Gi Gi is the biggest animal and dog lover that I have ever known. Knowing her for the past 5 years and she’s been an out door girl. I know her to really love nature and the love of dogs is very important. Pick her for your Rover, and I bet you won’t regret it. 🙃”


Andrew M.
“For as long as I've known Andrew Magda, he has always been a dog lover. He loves not only his own dog, but all dogs any shape or size. Andrew is also very exercise driven. He is always exercising and engaging in outdoor activities. Andrew Magda would be the ideal person to dog sit your home because he is very neat and cleanly. Andrew Magda is a very trustworthy individual and would be a wonderful dog walker/dog sitter/ or dog watcher. Many times I have entrusted Andrew Magda to watch my English Springer Spaniel, and she just adores him. My springer is very high energy, and every time I come home after she has been on a walk with Andrew she is very tuckered out and I could not be happier with my experience with this individual.”


Jordan B.
“Jordan is the best!! His calm and patient demeanor and genuine love for animals made me feel completely at ease leaving my pets in his care. He has an attentive nature and strong sense of responsibility that gave me a knowing that my pets were always safe and taken care of. He truly goes above and beyond to build trust and give every animal the love and attention they need! Highly recommend!”
