“Thank you for taking such great care of our girl while we were away again! Your communication is excellent, and we can’t believe how much our Spooky comes out to sit with you and chat—it really shows she’s in good hands!”

“Kiara was terrific with our dog. We were nervous leaving him for the first time but Kiara took excellent care of him, making sure he had food and water, taking him out, and playing with him each time she came over. We would highly recommend her and would definitely use her again!”

“Melissa was fantastic! She took care of our girl cats during a hurricane, and we couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Despite the storm, she made sure our cats were well taken care of and kept us informed about any potential damage. We felt completely at ease knowing our pets were in her care. Highly recommend her!”


“Lindsey stepped in last minute to take care of my dog, and I couldn't be more grateful! She was incredibly professional, communicative, and made sure my pup was happy and well taken care of. She sent regular updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a responsible, caring pet sitter!”

“Reilly is a natural with making pets feel comfortable and safe. I have two cats that were just moved into a new townhouse with very different needs and Reilly got all the info about each of them ahead of time and even won the trust of my skeptical kitty enough for her to come out from under the bed and play with her. I got lots of pictures and anything I remembered to tell her during the trip she was able to accommodate. (Like, "oh yeah, they love for the window blinds to be opened in the morning, etc, etc...") I never worried at all, as they were in expert caring hands while we were gone. I highly recommend her!”

“Janki did a great job doing daily visits to care for my two cats! She took lots of pictures and videos, so I knew they were getting the attention they needed. When there was some confusion about the medication she was giving them, she informed me right away to make sure everything was done correctly. She even swept the kitty litter on the floors so I did not return to a messy home! I was grateful and relieved that my fur babies were in good hands!”

“I can't recommend Deanice enough. She is absolutely amazing with our fir children. Very responsive and caring. You will not be disappointed in having her take care of your babies!”

About: I’m a young, energetic animal lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs and cats. I have pet CPR certification, so safety is always my top priority. Whether it’s caring for a playful puppy or giving attention to a senior pet, I bring patience, enthusiasm, and lots of love. I always make sure your pet feels happy, secure, and cared for—just like they would at home. I have time during the days of the week, and during the weekends I am free. I study from Monday through Thursday, but have flexibility. I believe good routines are key to keeping a dog happy, so I always ask owners about their pet’s daily habits and do my best to follow them closely—just like you would if you were there. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet cuddle moments, I bring care, consistency, and positive energy to every visit.
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs over the past 10 years and have a small puppy of my own! I am very flexible and at home all day long giving me all the time in the world with your pet! I am currently at home 24/7 as I am a stay at home mom to a 5 month old baby. I have a 1 year old puppy who is amazing with other dogs and loves to play all day long! I have a dog park in my neighborhood that I bring my pup to daily. We go on at least 3 long walks a day and potty breaks frequently! I have many toys and treats and can provide them if wanted.
About: I got my first dog at the age of two which was a beagle names spencer, I took care of him when I was first able to and he was basically my brother since we grew up together. I also had 4 fish tanks in my room along with a bearded dragon so animals have always been my passion. When my first pup passed away at 15 my parents got two puppies, a havanese and a shi-poo named ollie and gizmo so I do have recent puppy experience. When I moved up to orlando I adopted a orange kitten named Finn, and so far my first foray into the cat world has been amazing. Growing up I used to help take care of anyone’s pets who needed it and I always am good at making connections with new dogs. Being far away from home and not having any in my house makes me miss the love from a good pup! When I moved to Orlando, I adopted my first cat — an orange kitten named Finn — and he’s been the best decision I’ve ever made. He’s playful, curious, and full of personality, and caring for him has made me fall in love with the cat world. I’ve always been an animal lover — growing up with dogs, fish tanks, and even a bearded dragon — but Finn showed me just how special the bond with a cat can be. I understand how important it is to make pets feel safe and comfortable, especially when their owners are away. I currently work with CSC in Orlando, mainly from 9–3, with the occasional evening or weekend shift. That gives me plenty of flexibility for morning visits or midday check-ins. I’m also a licensed pilot and UCF graduate, and I bring that same responsibility and attention to detail to caring for your pets. I’d love to make sure your cat feels happy, relaxed, and cared for while you’re gone I would love to treat your pet just like one of my own. I have a lot of love that needs to be given out and only one cat to give it too who can get annoyed of me quick. I am good at following instructions and will make sure your pet has the most amazing time!
About: I’m the kid who always wanted a dog and that really hasn’t changed. We have 2 pups at home, a dog & child friendly husky named Sophie and my mixed ball of black fluff Ridley. Growing up we had a Shih Tzu, Boston Terrier, Beagle/Lab, and Westie/Scottie and I adored each one of them for their unique personalities much like I look forward to getting to know your pet for their unique personality. I’ve been a dog dad for the last 8 years after I volunteered at an animal shelter in Miami and fell in love with Ridley. About three years ago, I got married and in addition to an amazing wife I also became a dog-dad to Sophie who comes from Big Dog Rescue Ranch. We all look forward to meeting your doggy companion! Living in a townhome we frequent a community dog park a block away which is along the way of our daily walks. I’m also a quick skip away from Boxi Park dog park and can happily walk your dog at Lakefront park just south of Lake Nona should you like. I currently work full-time helping magic happen. My goal is to make use of my open weekends taking care of your pet while you’re spending some quality time away from home. I have a nearby community dog park for dogs who prefer to not be in a busy area or can quickly drive over to a more popular dog park. I also have a large (30-70lbs) crate should you request to have your dog crate trained. Our dogs go out 3+ times a day and on 2 walks minimum.
“Thank you again for loving on Duke and respecting our home. You are a kind and considerate person. I Pray for God to keep you this way and to guide you. We will definitely reach out whenever we have a need for Duke.”

About: Hello, I have over a year of dog walking experience. Additionally, I have 13 years experience with my own dogs. My dogs range in all sizes; I have a Havanese, Weimaraner, and a golden doodle. Dealing with various breeds of varying sizes has aided me well. Also, I am very comfortable dropping in on cats. I am currently a full time student working part-time. My availability is the weekend and Tuesday and Thursday. Week day times times can be discussed further. I have a very friendly dog, a 13 year old havanese (still incredibly playful). I live in a very suburban area with parks and fields very close by.
About: I love to play with dogs so I will make sure to have some time with them in a park or some place in which they can run and have fun. Also I would include some disk or ball time with them and maybe some running (that would also depend on the dog and the owner preferences). Beside that I it is possible that I would spoil a little bit your dog by carrying and giving them some cookies or snacks (No more than a couple unless the you allow me). If you let me I will make sure that your dog is happy and with good companion while you can't take care of him/her. Also I will not do anything that you don't want with your dog, that's why maybe I will ask you some questions about your dog before doing the service. That way I can know a little bit about your dog before to get to know him/her and be prepare to give the best service ever! I'm working from home. I might be able to do a walk early in the morning and another one in the evening after works. Also depending on the meeting that I have on a specific day I can schedule a "lunch walk". During the weekend I try to be on hikes or parks, places I know your dog will love as well. I live in a house with no backyard, but I do have a great park just across the street where I can take your pup
