About: Hi! I’m based in Flagler Village and have a super flexible schedule while I finish my MBA online. I’ve grown up with dogs and love being around them! I’m a very active runner and would love to take your pup on walks, runs, or just hang out and give them lots of attention. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and will treat your dog like my own while sending regular photo and video updates so you always feel at ease 😊 I love being active and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so your pup will get plenty of exercise, attention, and care throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, runs, playtime, or just keeping them company, I have the time and energy to make sure they’re happy and well taken care of. I live in a condo on the first floor and can provide multiple daily walks, runs, or visits to the dog park if you’d like.
“Once again, Marianne was there for me so I could enjoy a night out with my husband and support him. I’m so grateful for her—I trust her completely with my little puppy. She’s amazing, always there when I need her, and always willing to go out of her way to help in any way she can. She even brought me two key litters—how thoughtful is that?”
“Charlene was the reason I was able to enjoy my week long trip! It was the first time I left my cat for so long and I got tons of pictures and videos😻 Charlene was such a great find!! I highly recommend her to care for your pet and home 🤗”
“Dawn has stayed in our home to watch our two kitties multiple times in the past, and did an amazing job. This last trip she watched our dog, Baloo, as well and she was fabulous as always! The care and consideration she’s gives for our animals, and home, I truly amazing. And it makes going away much less stressful.”
About: I’ve been a trusted sitter with TrustedHousesitters since January 2025, completing over 50 sits with consistent 5-star reviews. I’m known for being reliable, resourceful, and genuinely caring—treating every pet and home with the same love and respect I would my own. I am also known for keeping spaces spotless, so you can return to a happy pet and a clean, peaceful home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work remotely, allowing me to be present and attentive throughout the day—handling feedings, walks, playtime, and companionship with consistency and care. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment by following your pet’s routine closely and respecting your home as if it were my own. I keep spaces clean, secure, and stress-free, while giving your pet plenty of attention, playtime, and gentle care. My goal is for you to have peace of mind and for your pets to feel at ease in their own environment.
“Ryan has now watched my elderly rescue for a few trips I’ve gone on as well as dropped in for day visits and walks. He is extremely professional, attentive, and warm with her and I am so lucky to have someone that I can trust with her care. I recommend Ryan 100000%.”
“Payal was absolutely fantastic with our little Ollie. He is very nervous and she made him comfortable and happy. She sent many pictures and videos and made us feel very comfortable being away. We will definitely use her next time we need a dog sitter. It’s very obvious that she loves dogs ❤️”
“Mafalda was such a wonderful pet sitter for our 11 month old Havapoo! She was punctual and very communicative from the moment we booked up until the appointment day. We look forward to future bookings with Mafalda!”
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Christina and the care she gave our dog during our 4-night trip. Leaving our pup is never easy—he's such a huge part of our lives—but from the moment we met Christina, we felt completely at ease. It was clear right away that she genuinely cares about animals. Every morning and evening, she sent us sweet photo updates that instantly brought smiles to our faces and eased any worries we had. We could tell our dog felt comfortable, loved, and safe—and that meant everything to us. It’s such a gift to find someone you can fully trust with your pet, and Christina is that person. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog and a home that was just as we left it. We're so grateful for her care and can’t imagine using anyone else in the future. Highly, highly recommend! Thanks Christina!”
“Got it 😄 here’s a short, playful, 5-star version: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Claire was amazing with our Mylo! She followed all of his daddies’ very specific (ok… slightly neurotic 😅) instructions perfectly and kept us smiling with great photos and updates. Mylo was clearly happy, relaxed, and totally loved. We would book Claire again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend! 🐾💙”
“Robin is so great with our westie, she sends cute photo updates and we always come home to a happy pup and a clean home. We would highly recommend Robin! 🐾”
“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. Yasmine is incredibly loving, attentive, respectful, and responsible. Toby (my dog) absolutely adored her because of how caring and affectionate she was with him. She even bought him toys, and they spent so much time together throughout the day. She also constantly sent me photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind and made me feel reassured that Toby was happy and well taken care of at all times. I highly recommend Yasmine with complete confidence to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely caring to look after their pets.”
“Carol provided my senior dog with love and affection. Engaging Carol's services was simple; Carol and I met face-to-face and introduced Violet. Carol was meticulous in explaining the program and we got along great. I wholeheartedly recommend her service!”
“My only regret is that I can only leave five stars. The experience was outstanding from beginning to end. All my expectations were blown away. Thank you so much for letting us enjoy our vacation and taking care of our pets while we were gone.”
About: Lifelong dog lover and current med student here! Raised alongside a Cockapoo and a Goldendoodle since I was six, I’ve spent nearly my whole life caring for pups. My medical training makes me exceptionally detail-oriented, reliable, and calm under pressure, while my inner kid just wants to provide the same love and attention I give my own family dogs. I’m a med student taking a gap year to study for my Step 1 exam. Since I study from home nearly 24/7, your pup will have constant companionship, a quiet environment, and endless study-break cuddles!. I’ve raised and loved a Cockapoo and a Goldendoodle since I was six years old, so dog care is second nature to me. Living right in Las Olas, I offer a premium, ultra-reliable, and highly attentive environment. My medical background means your pet is in the safest, most responsible hands possible!
“We could not be happier to have found Ozlem! Great communication throughout her stay watching the cats and she even kept the place clean! Came home and we didn’t have any extra work to do. We highly recommend Ozlem”
“Rayna is an absolute gem of a pet sitter! We entrusted her with our furry duo, Sparky and Remy, while we set sail on a cruise, and she exceeded all expectations. Not only did she keep us in the loop with regular photo updates, but she also went above and beyond by tending to our fish and eels exactly as we instructed. Her dedication and care were truly phenomenal—our pets adored her! Rayna's attention to detail and genuine love for animals shone through in every interaction. We returned to happy, contented pets, thanks to her exceptional service. If you're seeking a trustworthy and devoted pet sitter who treats your pets like family, Rayna is the one. We wholeheartedly recommend her services and can't thank her enough for the peace of mind she provided while we were away.”
“Maya was a fantastic sitter for my dog. She spent multiple nights over and had no problems! She constantly sent pictures and updates. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. Thank you so much again!”
“Neil was amazing! I took a last minute trip for the holidays and he made it stress free not having to worry about my dog. He contacted me every time he stopped by with detailed reports. Would def recommend Neil to others. Thank you Neil!!!!”

Kelly was great! 😊 She stayed at our apartment while caring for our two girls, and everything went smoothly. The girls were happy, well cared for, and comfortable when we got back. She kept us updated, was easy to communicate with, and took great care of both the pups and our home. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! 🐾💕

Adrianna is an excellent dog sitter! I have two rescue dogs, one is mine and one a foster and she was incredibly patient, allowing them to warm up and build trust at their own pace. She treated my dogs and my home with great care, and I felt completely at ease while I was away. I would absolutely recommend her, especially for anyone with rescue pups. 🐾
Emily is simply wonderful. Left her with my two golden doodle boy brothers for a full week at my home. She executed everything to perfection from feeding schedules to walking to pictures and videos myself and my children felt comfortable the whole time with Emily and we would definitely use her again.
Lauren came to stay at our house for a little under a week to watch our dog, Benji. Benji loved her from the start, which was very reassuring since he is a rescue and can be quite nervous around new people. She was communicative throughout the whole stay and went above and beyond to take good care of him. We would highly recommend her and would love to have her watch Benji again!
We leveraged David to house sit during our recent Ft Lauderdale vacation. David is good communicator, responsive, prompt, and professional. He was also sensitive, gentle and attentive to our cocker spaniel. We are very peculiar and picky about whom we entrust with our little one. We felt calm and confident having David house sit which enabled us to get time away for dinners and other events while on vacation. Highly recommend David!
Angelica was wonderful! She was so kind and patient with our boy, Apollo. She was attentive, communicative, and made sure we felt at ease while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared for him, sending regular updates, photos, and taking the time to understand his personality and needs.
