“Marianne was great! She was super punctual which was important since both my kitties needed meds twice a day. She sent me updates and pics and was so sweet to my babies. Thank you so much. Highly recommended. Will definitely use her services again!”


“I was so nervous about using Rover for the first time but Deborah was so nice and understanding. She sent me the cutest pictures and videos of my baby to let me know exactly what was going on everyday. She also went above and beyond and got my mail for me, took beretta for walks, and even cleaned the living room for me to return home. I could not recommend her more to anyone else!!”


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.

“Kimmeth was amazing! My two cats are my children and she went above and beyond with them to make them both feel comfortable. I’m so happy I found someone loyal and reliable who has a passion for animals!”


“Aileen provided exceptional service attending to Phelps while I was away for 10 days. She was always prompt and courteous. I felt comfortable with giving her access to my home and everything was as I left it. I will definitely use her services again.”

I will happily send you lots of videos and pictures of your animals throughout my time with your animals. I love to see all the different quirks that’s make them who they are and want you to know they are healthy and happy to ease any worries while you’re away. ABOUT ME: I've owned and taken care of dogs since I was born. I cannot remember a time there weren't at least 2 in our house at a time. I currently own two pitbulls I got in college and love them like children. Would love the opportunity to love on your pups! I have experience in all types of situations with dogs and will make sure to ask any questions in order to respect your home and animals as everyone is different. VERY FLEXIBLE: I am available for your animals when needed. Very flexible with my daily hours. For stays - I am flexible and work from home. Just need wifi to be provided and will be able to attend to your pets.

I realize it’s not easy to leave your pets so I will make sure to keep you updated and send photos as much as you’d like. I like to over communicate and ask questions before doing things in your home or with your animals in order to respect both and keep the trust you have given me.

“Ted was awesome! We met beforehand to introduce him to our two dogs. Ted was instantly a hit with them so we scheduled 3 drop-in visits for 6 days and the dogs were perfectly taken care of, including daily walks and playtime. My dogs loved Ted so much that I didn't get one spiteful poop from my little dog in his secret, "I'm-mad-you-left-me", spot. Ted also sent photos and comprehensive updates through the Rover app after each visit. I will definitely be booking with Ted again.”



“Lisa always watches our kitties when we travel. She is professional, kind, communicative, and trustworthy. Thank you for always taking such great care of our kitties!!”


“Couldn’t ask for a better drop in…. I got a lot of pictures and she did everything I requested for the drop in and more. Will definitely use Amanda again. Thank you so much!!”

He’s a seven year old, happy-go-lucky little guy who adores having company and meeting other cats! If you prefer your cat have a more solitary experience, I am more than happy to separate your pet from mine to suit your preferences!

About: Please message me if you have any questions, or if you have more than one fur baby so I can accommodate your needs. I like to do a meet and greet first. It’s important for us all to feel comfortable, especially your VIP’s! Your fur baby/babies will be treated like a VIP’s… VERY IMPORTANT PETS! I only take in one or babies from the same home. They will be 100% my focus, as this is my main role. My whole family will give them so much LOVE!!! I am British but have lived in many places. I have lived with dogs and cats since I was born. My 1st cat lady lived until she was 17. I had a beautiful English springer spaniel, liver and white named Sonney. He was awesome. Had a gorgeous grey cat named smokey. We had a energetic cat named Ellie who we rescued from a shelter and we relocated her to Australia from the UK with us. Our most recent love was Shankly. A big beautiful black lab who we adopted in Australia at 8 weeks old.He lived 6 years in Oz, 5 years in the UK and nearly 3 years in Jersey City with us. Sadly he got diagnosed with cancer in January 2021 and we all fought so hard to save him. We sadly lost him in June 2021. He would have been 14 in September 2021. We are a family of pet lovers and happy to share our love, even if only for brief moments with your fury babies. I trained Shankly from him being 8 weeks old and did dog and animal training courses many years ago in Australia. When I was younger I worked in the RSPCA animal shelters. I truly love animals and would take care of your babies like they were my own. Shankly had health problems since he was a puppy with arthritis, so we understand how to take care of animals with medical needs and restrictions. Especially, when Shankly was sick with cancer and had his toe removed we were totally all over his medical needs. Anyway, I would be happy to meet you before hand as an introduction to see if we are all a good fit for eachother. I am a genuine pet lover with experience. I am currently a stay at home mom and love caring for dogs too. I will be able to offer a good amount of attention on your loved ones. 100% attention! We will have a lot of fun together! 🐾❤️ We moved to Fort Lauderdale in 2022.Pets would live in our home with us. I have a fully fenced yard and dog gates up around my house to keep all our visiting fur babies safe. My husband, my 2 kids, daughter is 12 and son who is 9 and me. Both my kids have grown up with a big black Labrador so they know how to act and handle pets. As previously mentioned our dog, Shankly passed in June 2021, we miss him so much but we have a lot of love to give your fur babies! All the fur babies that have stayed with us have all had a great time and we have looked after lots of repeat customers. They become part of our family🐾 We love having special friends stay and it’s even nicer when they return! 🐾 I am a mom and care for people’s fur babies too. I am able to offer lots of attention to your loved ones. Our whole family love animals and we really care for your babies like they are our own. They live inside with our family and we follow your routine. I keep to your feeding instructions and rules to the best of my ability. I want your pets to feel settled,relaxed, happy and most importantly feel loved. I love seeing happy waggy tails! Especially when our repeat customers return and they are so happy to see us all again! Your loved fur babies will be made to feel part of our family. We absolutely love animals! The whole family interact with them. My kids love playing with dogs if that is what they like. We walk them and give lots if cuddles and attention. I really look out for your animals welfare.

“Jenni did an amazing job with our kitties while we were out of town! She was prompt and sent great pictures and updates, and I always felt that they were being very well cared of. I will definitely use her again!”

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.

“Page was AWESOME! Great responsiveness and communication. My puppy was in great hands. She went above and beyond! I won't be using anyone else in the future.”
