Pet Boarding in Oakland Park

“Nicole was incredible. She constantly updated me with photos during Presley's stay and would assure me that he was having a good time. 10/10 would recommend.”

“Ivana took such good care of Mami! She sent so many pictures and videos and seemed to update us every time we started thinking about her and missing her again 😆 She is so sweet and communicative. You can tell she is a dog person, and we knew Mami would feel safe with her and Ogie.”

“Karlee was the most amazing dog sitter! My dog completely fell in love with her! She was very caring, attentive, and sent me tons of pics and videos, which I loved! She’s amazing!”

“Kathye was great! Our two doggies loved staying with her and had a great time. Kathye was super accommodating, she let us pick them up late at night, and was willing to work around our schedule more generally too. She even sent us home with some nice treats (they were a surprise, in their travel bag)! Sesame was sad to see her leave when we picked him up. Thanks Kathye!”

“Best sitters around, hands down. My pup stayed for a month with Jerrie and Freeman. They are so communicative, kind, and gentle. I’ve never trusted anyone with my dog more. Thank you so very much!”

Jodi S.

“They took amazing care of both my dogs, keeping me updated with constant communication, photos, and videos, which gave me total peace of mind. Plus, they even spoke Spanish to my pups—who, of course, are bilingual! 🤣 My dogs also got to enjoy one of their favorite things—being allowed on the couch, which made them feel right at home. I’ll 100% be rebooking whenever I need a sitter. Highly recommend!”

“Teddy always has an amazing time at Emilies! He had a ball playing with the other doggies in their beautiful backyard!! A doggie paradise!! Thank- you sooo much for taking such good care of my energetic boy!”

Joanie S.

“Jennifer and her dog Kona were great companions for my pup, Twix. Twix is very shy around people, but he warmed up to Jennifer pretty quickly and did not want to leave! Overall Jennifer took great care of our dog, sent us lots of pictures and updates! Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!”

“Diane is absolutely amazing! My Daisy girl had so much fun was loved and snuggled the whole time we were gone. She went on daily walks and was able to do her zoomies in the back yard! I highly recommend using her. I will definitely be using Diane in the future.”

Jamie K.

“Lina was amazing. She was so kind and updated me throughout my trip with pictures and videos so that I felt completely at ease leaving my dog with her and her family. I will definitely be leaving my dog with her on my next trip.”

Morgan H.

“Stephany was truly amazing and I would rebook her again anytime! My dog had such a fun time, she took him out multiple times throughout the day and made sure that he was loved and cared for, for the five days she watched him!”

Nicole H.

“Valeria and her husband were great with Mischa! They were super friendly and I felt very comfortable leaving her with them. They have a nice gated complex which made me feel comfortable. They are super close to the airport which is great for me. I also like that they don't host an unlimited amount of pets. I've used some sitters that will have like ten animals there and just let them run around and do whatever. Valeria and her husband will give your animal all of the attention they need! She sent me pictures too which I always love! I highly recommend her and plan to use her every time I need a sitter for Mischa.”

“Sandra and Jonathan took excellent care of our golden doodle Rey. Rey had so much fun with Arthur; their German Shepherd, and their 5yrs old daughter Noa. They were very responsive and accessible throughout the stay; sending pictures and updates of our dog. We will definitely book again with them next time we come to Florida. I think Rey sees it as his second home. Thank you again Sandra for everything!!!!”

Ruben R.

“Sheena is the best! She’s my first choice for pet sitting. My pup adores her! Sheena’s experience is second to none and her communication is stellar!”

About: I’ve always been an animal lover. I raised two dogs from puppyhood. Lucy lived to 18, and my current pup, Porscha, is now 14. I also have a 15 year old cat, AppleJack, I’ve had since she was a kitten. So I know what it’s like to care for pets at every stage of life, from playful zoomies to slower senior strolls. I started pet sitting because I wasn’t looking to commit to another full time pet, but I still wanted to spend my days caring for animals and helping fellow pet parents. Whether it’s a quick walk, overnight stay, or just some company while you’re away, I’m here to give your pet the love and attention they deserve. I’m especially great with: Puppies and senior pets Shy or anxious animals Keeping routines and providing lots of updates (with cute pics!) At Playful Paws, your pet will feel safe, loved, and totally at home. I work fully remote, and so does my husband, which gives us the flexibility to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a morning walk, a midday check-in, or some evening cuddles, we’re usually home and available to help. Being remote means your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and we can easily adjust to their routine. Weekdays, weekends, we’re here to keep tails wagging and whiskers happy. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m visiting them in your home, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every pet like they’re my own, with patience, love, and respect for their routine. At home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with cozy spaces, a clean setting, and plenty of playtime. My husband and I both work remotely, so someone’s almost always home for companionship and supervision. In your home, I’m mindful of your space and your pet’s habits. I follow instructions closely, whether that’s meal times, meds, or favorite toys, and I always keep things tidy and secure. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your fur baby is in caring, capable hands.

“Thomas is the best! This is the 2nd time that Ziggy has stayed with Thomas and definitely won't be the last. I am always nervous leaving Ziggy but he sent lots of pictures and videos to keep me updated on how my Ziggy was doing. He has an amazing and spacious back yard for the dogs to play and run free. We look forward to Ziggy's next stay with Thomas.”

“Ali was wondering as always! My dog got so excited to see her house and started whining with excitement. Super flexible with pickup and drop off! Thank you!”

Muriel W.

“Luz was excellent, she took great care of my Luca, sent me several videos to keep me updated and kept my mind at ease while he was in her care. I would highly recommend her as anyone’s pet sitter, and will definitely use her services again.”

Alena A.

“Jackie was great with our 5 month Golden Retriever! She made sure to take pictures of him playing often and gave us updates on his stay. She even stays with them down stairs so they aren't left alone. They have a nice big front yard with a picket fence surrounding it, so if you have a jumper it may be a problem, but she has another dog that our Sunny had a blast with so it wasn't an issue for him. We will definitely book with Jackie again!”

“Mary was such a delight to deal with. This was my dog first time and she made it easy and even scheduled a meet to make sure my Nova was comfortable. She gave me updates and encouraged me to provide anything that would make it easier for my dog stay.”
