“Brian is an amazing dog sitter! Our dogs were comfortable with him the second they met him. He was consistently on time to feed and walk the boys and always sent a quick summary and pictures to hold us over until we could get back home to them. We will definitely be asking Brian to watch our dogs again in the future!”


“Grace was wonderful!!! She worked with my Frenchie every day for over a whole year and I have zero complaints. She always was attentive, helpful, easy to work with, and trustworthy. I am sad that I won't have Grace with us where we are moving to. If you have any hesitation, you definitely can trust Grace!”

About: Hello! My name is Aimee. I currently live in Indian Harbour beach. I was born and raised here. I have a cat and a mini dachshund that are my babies of course! They all get along well with others. I am well rounded with having to give medicine, feeding times, and care of older and/or dogs with any issues or concerns they may have. I feel that I am trustworthy, dependable and very caring. I enjoy taking them on walks or just someone to snuggle with! If overnights are needed, I can do that as well. I am here for whatever they may need! When I am not loving on animals, I have been a dental assistant for over 13 years, and now in the Wellness/Fitness industry. Payments are due at time of services I have my own business, I sometimes may be in and out however, I am able to give frequent potty breaks. If there is a time that takes longer, I will inform you My little doggy is very sweet, I can always crate either dog if need be at my place. They all get equal loving and play time. If they need to be walked separately we can. Love yard play, pool time and snuggles I work part time and for myself! I have plenty of time to play with your pups or kitties!

About: I've cared for dogs since I was young, my grandmother taught me grooming skills on her poodles and we had a Maltese rescue. I was also a manager of a dog boarding facility in Indiana, so I've seen a lot! I was responsible for administration of medications, handing injuries and runs to the vets office. I can handle just about anything from large power-house pups down to the little sassy woofs! I currently work part-time, with full autonomy of my schedule. I'm able to care for your baby whenever you need. Let me know how I can help you! I have dog sat pets of friends, family, neighbors and even new clients. I've cared for dogs on medications from pills to insulin. I have experience with many different play & feed routines as well as various structures that owners have for their pups. I understand the stress of leaving a pup at a facility so I value the importance of having someone you trust caring for your fur baby in their own home. I'm also fluent in curbing unwanted behaviors- if there is something I can do to continue the training you're diligently teaching your dog, let me know! I'd love to help continue that when the pup is in my care.

About: As a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets, I treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether your furry friend needs a walk, playtime, cuddles, or just a dependable companion while you're away, I’m here to help. I specialize in: ✔️ Dog walking & drop-in visits ✔️ Cat care and attention to shy or senior pets ✔️ Administering medications & following feeding routines ✔️ Puppies, seniors, and pets with special needs I work from home, so I’m available during early mornings, evenings, and weekends — and I’m very flexible to meet your pet’s needs for those times. From last-minute requests to regular visits, I’m happy to help, especially in emergency situations when you need someone you can truly rely on! We can definitely work something out ! Over the years, I’ve built strong, trusted relationships with a wide range of clients — from business owners to politicians, and even pet parents I’ve only met virtually. They’ve trusted me with both their homes and their beloved animals, and I take that responsibility very seriously.

About: My pet care experience is diverse and passionate as I have cared for a variety of different animals in my life. Having 2 senior cats and a blind senior dog, they all have unique needs. I have learned to be accommodating and attentive when it comes to animal care, as all animals deserve the best treatment we can give them! Having a young kitten that I took off the street at 6 weeks old also taught me how to care for little ones as well! He is now my third cat and fits into our family perfectly. I also have two birds that require a lot of attention and patience. My commitment to my animals and their well-being is the same commitment I will have to yours! I am a college student that is currently on summer break, so my schedule is very flexible! I can fit into your schedule based on what is convenient for you and your pets. Having cared for many animals with many different needs, I can accommodate animals however necessary. If they need to be crated, fed certain food, or have special needs, I will cater to that. Having a dog myself with special needs, I understand that some animals need extra care. I will always treat your animals with the same compassion I give mine!

“We came on vacation with Marlo but still wanted to do some day-long family excursions. Katelyn came and walked our Yorkie. Loved that she was out with her for the full time. Really appreciated her and the option of having Rover.”

Corie is the absolute best. My dogs and I love her – so much so, in fact, I kind of don't want to leave a good review for her so she won't get booked up by other folks! She's communicative, friendly, and excellent with with my three (big, strong and occasionally obnoxious) pit bull-type dogs. I'm so thankful I found Corie!
