“What a kind and attentive pet caretaker Vicki is! She has the true package of offerings for a poochie like mine! My Cavapoo girl played played hard with the other dogs and Vicki thoughtfully captured several photos and sent me so I could relax. She was empathetic with our house hunting mission and understood our last minute needs for caretaking. If we are so lucky to be relocated to her area, I’m sure there will be more glowing feedback/reviews in the near future!”

“Colleen is amazing. She gives quality attention to each fur baby in her home and I feel like mine gets extra special care 😁. She sends daily updates and photos/videos of my dog, which I love. I am always reassured that my dog receives lots tender loving care in her home. I highly recommend her!”

“Amelia and Gregg are wonderful! You can tell they love dogs and are great with them. My dog who hates to leave my side loves going over to their house and when he sees me getting ready for work he gets excited because he knows he is going to visit with his new friends.”

About: I'm a 30 year old that currently has three sweet dogs and a cat of her own! I love all animals and I have experience with many different dogs and cats- big, small, playful or couch potato. I'm attentive, energetic and willing to give your pet all the play time they need! Your pet will be treated like royalty, and given all the love and treats they can dream of. I'm flexible, responsible and have plenty of experience caring for both cats and dogs! All of my previous and current fur babies are rescues, and unfortunately, some had horrible past owners. This gave me experience working with pets with anxiety and fear. I'm great with training, and will give your pet positive reinforcement in the form of lots of love, belly rubs, and scritches! Your pup will be in safe, loving hands when I'm around. I'm willing to give baths as well as administer oral medication if needed, and send many updates and pictures during your service! I have a lot experience with senior pets, having had 3 senior pets of my own previous, and currently have an 11 year old senior who gets routine oral medication via pill and oral syringe, so I have practice with admistering both. Having seen many of my pets through their senior lives, I am quick to spot any signs of medical emergency or off symptoms. Your pets will be getting my 12+ years of experience with my own animals. I have a flexible schedule currently, and I'd be happy to do a meet a greet! I hope to hear from you and be trusted with your fur babies! My schedule is pretty open and flexible so I'll have plenty of time to pamper your fur baby! I'm available during weekdays primarily, and can be available most weekends given prior notice. I have a large fenced yard for your baby to run around and play in, and very friendly pets to keep your fur baby company, if they want! I can easily crate your pup if it is needed as well.
“Amanda did a wonderful job introducing her three dogs to ours one at time. She took her time and made sure they worked individually and then as a group. I felt really safe leaving our dog in her care. He loves playing with other dogs and she provided him a great place to do this. I will be using her awesome service again.”

“My dog is shy and apprehensive around strangers but Joanna made her feel safe and comfortable right away. She sent pics throughout the day which made me feel more comfortable too. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Joanna again it was a good experience for both my dog and myself ?”

“They took great care of my little love when we needed a last minute drop off on our vacation. Made sure he was comfortable and sent me pictures to show he was doing well. Thanks for providing great service!”

“Holly was great, very friendly, communicative and considerate. I Work crazy irregular hrs and she was flexible with changing schedules on the fly. Home was great and my doggos were always tired at pickup”

“Gigi loves Nancy! She is very attentive and a very trustable person. She promptly answers all the time and sends constant updates during the day with video and pictures. She is reliable and I always have peace of mind when I leave my puppy with her. She will take great care of your fur friends and they will love her I guarantee you. She is definitely one of my favorite pet sitters out there ?”

“My 7 month old puppy had a great time playing with another Shih tzu at Fiorella’s house. She sent pics during the day so I could feel more at ease. He was well taken care of and we will return in the near future!”

About: Hi, I’m Sophia! I’m 22 and I’m looking for dog walking/sitting opportunities. I have years of experience caring for my own animals and family/friends pets. I have experience with all types of breeds and sizes. I have three years paid experience pet sitting and previously worked as a kennel tech. I would be able to provide pet sitting whether it be check-ins to play with or feed your pet, or overnight boarding as well as walking. I have two dogs who are very friendly and love playing with other dogs as well as a backyard for ur pup to play in! Thank you so much for your consideration and I hope to hear back from you! I am a full time student at UH, but only go to campus two days a week, so I am home basically all the time! I have a fenced backyard and two very friendly dogs who love to play! One is a chihuahua and the other… I’m not sure. I found her about a year ago as a stray but she is a very calm and polite dog.
About: Hi, I’m Lauren! I’ve spent my whole life around animals and understand that every pet has a unique personality and set of needs. Whether your dog needs some long walks around the neighborhood or your cat prefers quiet companionship and scratches behind the ears, I am here to provide a safe and loving environment. I am punctual, communicative, and attentive to detail; I'll do my best to ensure your pets stay happy and healthy while you're away. I'm currently a stay at home mom homeschooling my 3 boys. I can provide all day companionship and activity for your fur babies and plenty of walks and play time. Communication: I’ll send regular photo and video updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing with care log. Safety First: I am extremely mindful of leash safety, dietary restrictions, and home security. If I'm coming to your pet's space, we would start with a well check of the environment to make sure nothing has changed since you said goodbye to them. Taking them out for a walk and then settling them back down when we get home with quick grooming if needed, water, and some play time or petting depending on what they need. Finishing with a full report so you know just how it went. I have a pet friendly home ready to invite your fur babies over to play with my two dogs (7 years old, sisters, mixed breed). Fenced in backyard area and a great neighborhood for walks. Plenty of outdoor shaded area to relax and plenty of indoor play space to keep cool on hot Florida days.
“Kayla was exceptional! Professional and kind! I felt extremely comfortable leaving my high energy puppy with her. She sent me pics during his stay, and informed me of how he was doing. Will definitely be using her again in the future!!!”

“Shelly is wonderful, she really saved the day when we needed someone to watch Milo for the entire day at the last minute. Milo is very shy but Shelly took great care of him and he seemed to warm up very fast. Also Shelly’s home is doggy paradise!! A big screened sunroom for the dogs to relax and catch some rays and a huge fenced yard for them to run around in and take frequent potty breaks. Thanks Shelly!”

“My wife and I were visiting the Space Coast and Cocoa Beach area. We needed care for our 2 pups so we could experience Kennedy Space Center and found Mia. She had 2 pups (golden doodles as well) of her own, a nice big fenced backyard and worked remotely, so she was home and attentive during their stay. Our boys were exhausted when we got home from their play adventure day! Mia was flexible with our schedule, provided a safe environment for our boys and is a very nice pet care providers/ person. Thank you Mia!”

“Patsy was wonderful as always. My dogs love going to stay with her, and they are always so happy and relaxed with her. She takes such great care of them and is so sweet, trustworthy, flexible and reliable. I highly recommend Patsy. She is an awesome pet sitter! :)”
