I needed a last minute sitter because I was leaving town for a couple days and Amor was able to help me take care of my Uzi boy! I was nervous because I wasn’t sure how my dog would do given he didn’t know her but she was great and Uzi loved her ! She sent me constant photos and updates on my boy and was very thorough throughout the whole process all the way down to how he ate and what he liked to do. She made sure he was always comfortable and super kind and compassionate towards him.Very thankful for her and will definitely continue working with her in the future when I need a sitter !

About: I've taken care of cats since I was 10 years old. I started at an animal hospital when I was 17 years old. I've been a veterinary technician for about 25 years now. I'm still working at a specialty veterinary hospital as a veterinary dental technician. I can administer medications, including injections. I treat each pet as my very own! I work 4 days a week, leaving home at 7:30AM and returning around 7PM. I have one weekday off and am available for full-time pet care on weekends, as I do not work Saturdays or Sundays. My schedule allows me to provide dedicated, attentive care during my time off, with weekends fully open for pet sitting and visits. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a clean, quiet 2-bedroom condo on the first floor, offering a calm and secure environment. The front area is fenced in, and the back opens to a peaceful, unused golf course - perfect for quiet outdoor views without foot traffic or noise. I share my home with my well-loved pets: a friendly, social 2-yr old cat and an African Grey parrot, both of whom are part of my calm, pet-loving household. I provide a nurturing space where your pet can feel safe, relaxed, and truly at home.

We had an amazing experience with Sian! She was incredibly patient, loving, and attentive, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Our puppy was happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable with her. She kept us updated with messages and photos, and followed all instructions perfectly. We couldn’t have asked for better care and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring puppy sitter.

About: 💕 About Me & Pet Experience Hi, I’m Jessica, but most people know me as Aunty Jess — your friendly, reliable pet sitter from Margate, Florida. I’m 24 years old and currently studying Veterinary Technology at Broward College. My passion for animals started when I was very young, and it’s grown into something that truly defines who I am today. I’ve spent several years caring for pets, including small and medium-sized dogs, playful puppies, calm seniors, and cats with all kinds of personalities. I’ve also cared for smaller pets like fish and shrimp — I even have my own aquarium! My experience ranges from everyday walks and feedings to maintaining consistent routines that keep pets calm and happy while their owners are away. For several years, I boarded up to six dogs at a time in my home, managing different breeds, schedules, and personalities with patience and care. It taught me how to balance structure with affection — making sure every dog received attention, exercise, and love. Some of my clients became repeat customers, trusting me multiple times with their pets, which means a lot to me and shows how dependable and compassionate I am with every animal I meet. I also used to have my own dog, who I adored deeply. Due to house rules, I had to rehome him, but I made sure he went to a loving family filled with care, stability, and affection. That experience strengthened my understanding of responsibility and the emotional bond between people and their pets. Now, I focus on offering House Sitting and Dog Walking so I can give pets one-on-one attention and personalized care in the comfort of their own homes. I understand that some pets experience separation anxiety or stress, so I always create a calm environment and follow their normal routines to help them feel safe and loved. Through my studies in Veterinary Technology, I’ve learned how to recognize signs of stress, discomfort, or health concerns early on. I know how to approach each animal with patience, empathy, and care — whether it’s during walks, feeding time, or bedtime. I take pride in being organized, trustworthy, and consistent, with a genuine love for all animals big and small. My goal as Aunty Jess is simple: to make sure every pet I care for feels loved, safe, and happy — just like they would if you were home. 🕓 Schedule I like to keep my schedule transparent and well-organized so pet parents know exactly when I’m available and how I plan my days around your pets’ needs. I’m currently a Veterinary Technology student at Broward College, and I’ve built my class routine to make sure every pet in my care still gets the love, attention, and time they deserve. Here’s my weekly availability: 📅 Monday – Wednesday: I’m in class for about 3 hours during the day, but I’m available after 3:00 PM for house sitting and dog walking. Before leaving for class, I always make sure pets are fed, walked, and comfortable so they feel relaxed while I’m away. When I return, I give them my full attention for evening care, playtime, and cuddles. 📅 Thursday: I have a short 2-hour class during the day, so my availability is very flexible. I’m free after 3:00 PM and can provide walks, meals, and plenty of evening companionship. 📅 Friday – Sunday: These are my fully open days, which means I’m completely available for full-day and overnight house sitting. I dedicate these days to giving your pets my full focus — walks, playtime, meals, and comfort throughout the day and night. I always plan my week carefully to make sure your pets’ needs come first. Even on class days, I maintain structure and consistency by following their normal schedule as closely as possible. You’ll receive daily updates with photos or videos, so you always know how your pets are doing. Your pet’s well-being and routine are always my top priorities — I’m committed to keeping them safe, loved, and happy every day of the week. Safety and trust are my top priorities with every pet I care for. I know that when you choose someone to look after your pets and your home, you’re putting a lot of faith in them — and I take that responsibility very seriously. You can always count on me to treat your space and your pets with respect, care, and honesty. As a vet student, I have knowledge of basic animal health, safety practices, and behavior management, which helps me create a calm, comfortable environment for every pet. I make sure water bowls are always full, leashes and collars are properly fitted, and that pets are supervised closely during walks or outdoor time. If a pet seems anxious or uncomfortable, I know how to respond gently and reassure them until they relax. I also understand how important your home is. When house sitting, I always keep things clean, organized, and secure — the way you left them. I lock doors, follow your household instructions, and never invite anyone over. My goal is to make your home feel just as peaceful for your pets as it does when you’re there. Trust is built through communication, so I send daily photo and video updates so you can see exactly how your pet is doing. Whether it’s a morning walk, nap time, or dinner, I keep you informed and confident that everything is going smoothly. Your pets’ safety and emotional comfort always come first with me. With Aunty Jess, you can feel completely at ease knowing your pets are cared for with love, patience, and a calm environment that feels like home.

About: With over 7 years of hands-on pet care experience, a lifelong love for animals that started in childhood, and a family that shares the same passion, I bring patience, trust, and genuine compassion to every pet I care for—making me a reliable, attentive, and loving pet sitter and walker your furry family can truly feel safe with. 🐾💛 I pet sit and babysit for my aunt and she has a baby goat and a child I take care of as well for my sister when she’s out, I will pet sit her dog and hedgehog, I love it! I care for pets by following their normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable, whether in my home or a client’s home. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, walked and exercised as needed, given plenty of attention and playtime, and always kept in a clean, calm environment. I closely monitor their behavior and health, respect any special instructions, and treat every pet with the same care, patience, and love I would give my own. 🐾

If you can handle my reactive, unpredictable, very cuddly chaos gremlin (aka Taz, short for Tasmanian Devil!!), you can handle anything — and Christina did it flawlessly. From the start, she went out of her way for a consult AND a drop-in to make sure my boy was comfortable with her before house-sitting. Also, her communication was top-tier (updates + photos that made me smile all weekend). Not to mention she treated my home with so much care!!! Most importantly, Taz was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved when I got back - which is not often the case with prior sitters!! That alone tells me everything I need to know. Christina is truly a gem — we’ll 100% be booking again!

Rose is a wonderful and trustworthy young lady. She was gentle and sensitive to my Lollipop’s needs and routines. We texted daily and provided pictures of their walks. Our final communication( she left my house before I came home), Rose left me a beautiful note summing up her day with Lolli. Besides all that… she left me with a clean and organized home; I greatly appreciated that! I certainly will be calling on her again!!

Kristina was absolutely amazing!!! She has so much energy, which is so valuable since I have 2 huskies. She took them on multiple walks a day, took them to the nearby dog park + played with them in our backyard. One of my dogs takes medication for his epilepsy, and she was a pro at administering. She was very communicative, giving me regular updates + photos. She also goes over + beyond!! I didn't expect or request any cleaning, but she insisted, washing bed linens + remaking the bed, cleaning the bathroom, and vacuuming the house! She also thoroughly brushed our dogs, making their coats look better than ever! She even left us all treats on her way out!! My pets had a blast with her + it was great to have someone so reliable + trustworthy so that we could focus on enjoying our vacation. We can't wait to hire her again in the future!

Bree was an amazing dog sitter. Our pup got walks daily, and we got updates and pics daily. On top of that, she was super flexible in carry-ing out a surprise mission for our 5 year old on our return, including organizing a surprise toy party for him. Our house was sparking clean, too. We'd highly recommend Bree to anybody who wants peace of mind while traveling away from their pets!

Deniro was great from start to finish. During our meet and greet, he had a nice, positive energy, and I could tell right away he was a responsible young man. My dog can be a bit of a handful, she’s injured, full of energy, can’t go on walks, and doesn’t like being alone. She also needs daily medication. Deniro managed all of that beautifully. His communication was excellent, and he sent me thoughtful updates and photos that gave me total peace of mind. I never had a single concern while I was away. I highly recommend him and would absolutely have him watch my dog again!
