Rosie and Jackson stayed with Sheila for day care. I had 2 very tired pups in the evening (and they are still sleeping) and I'm a happy Mom! I received photos and messages from my pups throughout the day how well they were doing. I didn't have to worry about them at all! Pups had Great time!

About: I’ve taken care of animals for 19+ years! From dog walking to house sitting (cats included)❤️ Neighbors, family, and friends - I’m the one they call 😊 I’ve cared for puppies all the way up to senior dogs. I have even helped a mama cat give birth and cared for her kittens! I have also volunteered at The Humane Society and a Blind Cat Rescue 🥰 I’m currently a stay-at-home wife with a Dalmation and two indoor cats of my own. I don’t have a strict schedule so I’m open every day of the week. :) I treat my pets like my children so I most certainly will treat your pets the same! My pets are all fully vaccinated and flea and tick treated.

About: Having Dogs around makes my world a better place. After my dog of 17 years, I’m not ready for forever but want to extend my heart to care for others. Vacations were always stressful to find someone so I want to help others to go and not worry. I currently work parttime during week so I have weekends as well as other time available to make sure your dog is well cared for. My house is dog friendly. I have a special gated courtyard for outside time. I even have a hallway that can be gated if needed.

They did an amazing job and they showed how much they cared by asking questions making sure they would be the right fit for Bruno. To make it even better throughout the night they provided pictures to ease my mind about leaving my baby with them.

Tyeshia did an amazing job watching my fur baby, Uno! She was caring, attentive, and kept me updated which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Uno was happy, comfortable, and clearly well taken care of. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and kind to care for their pets!

We had a great experience with our Rover sitter, Jeanette! She was able to accommodate a last-minute request, which we really appreciated, and took excellent care of our dog while we were away. She sent regular photos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind and let us see how happy and well cared for our pup was. Communication was smooth from start to finish, and we felt completely confident leaving our dog in her care. We would absolutely book with Jeanette again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter!

About: Hi, I'm Kayle (pronounced Kay-Lee), but feel free to call me “Kat” both names work for me! I've had a lifelong passion for animals and have been caring for them since childhood. I deeply love my own fur babies and will extend the same level of care and affection to yours. I have extensive experience with a variety of dog breeds, including Beagles, Dalmatians, Pit Bulls, Chihuahuas, German Shepherds, Dachshunds, Aussies, Labradors, Golden Retrievers, Poodles, and more. I’m also well versed in looking after kittens and cats. I provide drop-in visits, daily walks, and house-sitting services. Whether it's a playful puppy or a senior dog, I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and can administer oral medication if necessary. I actively volunteer with the local dog rescues, walking and socializing the dogs waiting for their forever homes. Additionally, I foster rescue dogs from time to time, focusing on socialization (both with my own pets and individually), basic behavioral training, and helping them become comfortable with grooming and handling. I’m active duty serving at Eglin AFB as a medical technician. My main schedule is Monday through Friday, from 7 am to 4 pm. Outside of those hours, I have flexibility, and we can discuss what works best for your family! Housesitting: Feel free to let me know where your dog prefers to sleep! Dogs are more than welcome to sleep in bed with me. Overnight Request: Please share photos of your guest room when possible! 😊 Outside: For their safety, all dogs will remain on a leash during potty breaks and walks. My Fur Family: I’m a proud dog mom to my adorable Beagles, Bella Bentley, and Bogey ❤️.

Nicole was WONDERFUL to deal with! We booked very last minute changed plans 3 times and picked her up early due to plan changes and Nicole was super cool and easy to communicate with the entire time. My pup is very anxious and she went right into Nicoles home like she had been there 100 times. Finding a sitter for Lilah is soooo difficult and stressful with her anxiety and Nicole made it a breeze. She truly was a blessing 💕

Alexandra was amazing. We traveled to Destin for a night. We needed a dog sitter for the day. Alexandra was accommodating and corresponded well prior and during the visit. Our dog was initially nervous. Alexandra made her feel safe. She updated us throughout the day with texts and photos. We could not have been happier. I would highly recommend Alexandra for any dog needs whether you live in the area or are on vacation.
