About: I live 5 min from the airport. My family and I have always been animal lovers, and I grew up surrounded by animal love. I've always lived with pets, both dogs and cats, and therefore understand their needs and how to make them feel at home. During my care, I provide constant updates on your pet's status and keep up with changes in mood or behavior. I'm a very active and fit person, ready to play nonstop or go for long walks. I love to take care of all kind of pets. Weekend will be the best moment to get animal love in my life and also help people to have the best care experience for their pets. I have a medium size house with a fenced back yard perfect for pets to run and play. My family and I love to care animals so love will be given all the time and your friend will always be treated with the best conditions.

About: Growing up with cats and having dogs by my side for the last 25+ years, caring for animals has always been a part of my life. From energetic German Shepherds and loyal Labs to cuddly Maltese, I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have hands-on experience with senior dogs and pups with joint or hip issues, and I’m comfortable administering a wide range of medications (excluding IVs). I know how important it is to be gentle, patient, and attentive to each dog’s unique needs—especially when they require a little extra care. I used to travel often for work, so I personally understand the stress of leaving your beloved pet with someone new. That’s why I’m always happy to provide updates, photos, and reassurance while you’re away. I truly believe the bond between a pet and their person is sacred, and I treat that bond with the utmost respect. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, some playtime, or just a comforting presence, I’ll be there to care for them like they’re my own. I work standard hours Monday-Friday from 8-5 but I work from home so I’m able to stop in during the day. Early mornings, evenings and weekends I will be able to spend more time. I cater to the needs of the pet/owner. Each animal is different and each owner treats their pet differently. I only watch one owner/family’s pet at a time so the level of care your pet will receives is based on your standards.

About: Hi! My name is Sam, and I’m a former dog rescuer with a lifelong love for animals. Dogs and cats have always been a part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. When your pet is with me, their happiness, safety, and well-being are my top priority. I’ll treat them like family—whether that means belly rubs, playtime, long walks, or simply making sure they feel safe and loved. Thank you so much for considering me to care for your furry friend! 😊 I am very flexible and will try my best to be there when needed. You can count on me! Especially during summer, I am pretty much available all the days and most of the times. Your dog’s safety always comes first, and I’ll make sure they feel secure, loved, and cared for. I provide comforting company and thoughtful attention to all of your dog’s needs.

“I knew our pup was in the best hands with Annie. She is incredibly kind and reliable. We are lucky to have met her, and I know our boy looks forward to future walks with her.”


About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for a couple years now. I’ve been trusted by and helped out neighbors and work friends by walking their dogs. I have grown up with both small and big dogs, so I’m comfortable caring for breeds of all sizes! 🐶 I’m available for walks whenever since I have a schedule that allows me to be very flexible and open! I’m available AM to PM, Sun-Sat. In addition to walking, if you also will need some help feeding or crating your pet, I’m more than happy to help out with that! I am experienced with leashing and harnessing dogs. We all know how hot the FL heat can be, but don’t worry, I always check the pavement to make sure it is safe for pets to walk on!

“Highly recommend her! She communicates and arrives on time. Our dog must have really enjoyed his time with her because he was napping when I got home and was tired. She updated me with great pics of their walk.”


About: I’ve always loved animals since I was a kid and got my first dog when I was 10. They lived a long and healthy 18 years of life. When they were 15, we got them some company with a puppy! Although their energy was opposite, they got along swelling well. Loving to get back in touch with the fur family so I’ve been caring for family and friends pets more often. I’m an actor so I always know how to entertain them as well as being able to read them pretty well. I have some experience with administering medication as well. I’m currently a grad student on summer break so I have plenty of time currently for all my fur babies needs! Once school begins in September I’m positive so early morning as well as evening care is more than possible. I do not offer care at my own home, but am an extremely neat, tidy, and minimal person. Any past clients I’ve had to do overnight stays with can attest to that.

About: I take the time to bond with each dog, earning their trust and making them feel safe, loved and understood. I adapt my approach to each dog’s personality, energy level and needs, whether it’s a playful pup who needs exercise or a senior dog who just wants gentle companionship. I’m currently working part-time as a realtor so I have a flexible schedule and can work around my clients schedules and needs as directed with notice. I live in a condo with two kittens so I will most likely be sitting at the client’s home. I will care for the pets as directed by the client, providing them photos and details of my time with their pets.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the deep, lifelong bond I’ve had with animals — especially my own. I’ve had pets my whole life, and most recently cared for my 16-year-old Yorkie (almost 17!) who had kidney disease. He was truly like my child, and during his final chapter, I gave him incredibly loving, one-on-one care every single day. That experience gave me not just senior dog care skills, but a deep understanding of patience, gentleness, and being fully present. I know how much pets mean to us — they’re family — and I treat every animal I care for with that same level of love and attention. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I truly enjoy it — and I’m very flexible and open with my schedule. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care depending on what your pet needs. Whether it’s a midday walk or a weekend stay, I’m happy to adjust to what works best for you and your furry baby. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or visiting yours, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a fully fenced backyard and a pet-friendly home, so pets staying with me will have space to play and relax. I’m also happy to follow any routines or special instructions — feeding, medications, crate use, you name it. If I’m in your home, I treat it with respect and do everything I can to make your pet feel at ease while you’re away. I’m very adaptable and just want your pet to feel happy and cared for wherever they are.

About: Hello everyone! I have extensive experience with animals and would love to work with yours. After working in a holistic pet supplies store I have gained more knowledge about animals. I work part time at a vet clinic helping animals. I am knowledgeable in food allergies, joint problems,amazing toys, yummy treats and ways to get excess energy out of your pups and cats. I have loved animals all my life and was taught from the young age of 8 how to take care of pets. I have 3 cats myself but I love dogs also! I am available all day Tues-We’d. I can send you pictures of your furry babies if you like updates. I can handle multiple animals as well. I am available all day Tuesday and Wednesday every week with at least an hours notice. These are the 2 days I have full day childcare. Taking care of and playing with animals is my dream job! Keeping an eye on animals is a must because they like to get into things they shouldn’t. The dog will be leashed all times outside of the home for their safety. Keeping doors and gates closed at all times is highly important so they do not wander off. I will be able to update you when you like and send pictures of your dog or cat. If any animal needs special care please let me know ahead of time and I will do my best to accommodate.

About: I have cared for dogs for many years including working dogs. I will go above and beyond to ensure their safety and happiness! My last two dogs were a German shepherd and a coonhound lab mix and I loved them both dearly. The lab was my hunting pal and the shepherd would not leave my side for anything! I am currently a student with online classes. I am available for care round the clock. I have plenty of gardens and yards within the gated condo community and everyone here is very pet friendly! I have a very pet friendly condo community with grass and gated walls. Plenty of smells and furry friends to mingle with. Short walk from public parks and close distance to emergency care if need be.

About: I have thoroughly enjoyed taking care of different dogs from a variety of breeds and ages for most of my life. Neighbors, friends, and family know that they can rely on me to care for their fur babies! I have also worked on a farm with a variety of different animals including puppies along with working for a dog walking company. I am a spiritual life coach in the process of expanding my business. I work from home and am my own boss which gives me a lot of flexibility in creating my schedule. I do have time slots when i'm working with clients but besides that I am able to be quite flexible based on your needs. I love to connect with the pets ahead of time to get to know their personality along with meeting the parents and seeing if i'm a good fit. I care for pets in my client’s home and learn what the pets’ essential needs are and what I should do when they demonstrate certain behaviors.

“She is communicative, conscientious and sure knows dogs! She’s wonderful with my little guy because he’s always a bit timid when he meets someone new but by the time they came back from the walk, they seemed like old friends. Will definitely use her again.”



About: I've grown up with two dogs and constantly dog sit for friends and family and help with a dog shelter with fostering and adopting out their dogs. I have been helping adopt these dogs out to my community and have yet had a dog that was too hard for me to adopt out. I have a passion for dogs and animals and hope to someday open up my own animal shelter and day care for cats and dogs. In graduate school in the evening. Have plenty of time to hangout with your furry friends. Can make it work and hopefully make it easy for you. I have my own place but my dog doesn’t enjoy having other dogs in her space. I will have to come to your place for your furry friend.
