About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and the proud owner of a sweet 2.5-year-old Maltese named Bulba. He weighs just 8 lbs and is a friendly, playful little guy who loves both dogs and kids. He enjoys making new furry friends and is always happy to share his toys and playtime. I live in a spacious two-bedroom apartment in a pet-friendly community with a dog park just steps away. Dogs in my home are treated like family—they’re welcome on the couch and the bed if that’s what they’re used to. I make sure every dog gets plenty of love, playtime, walks, attention, and a calm, comfortable environment. To keep everyone safe and happy, I specialize in caring for small and medium-sized friendly dogs. I only host one family’s pet at a time, so your dog will receive my full attention and care. My goal is to make every pet feel relaxed, loved, and at home while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I spend most of my time at home, so your dog will get plenty of attention, love, and playtime throughout the day. Daily walks and outdoor time are part of our routine, and we also have a dog park in our community for extra exercise and fun. I provide a calm, comfortable environment and can easily follow your pet’s usual schedule, including feeding, walks, medication, and bedtime routines. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and a calm environment where dogs are treated like family. I have a friendly 2.5-year-old Maltese named Bulba who weighs 8 lbs. He loves meeting new dogs, enjoys playing, and gets along well with both dogs and children. I only accept friendly small and medium-sized dogs and carefully introduce them to make sure everyone feels comfortable. I’ll keep you updated with photos and videos throughout your dog’s stay, so you’ll always know how they’re doing.
“She was great! I felt reassured upon meeting her. She sent me videos throughout the entire time. They even taught her a new trick! It was my first time leaving my Labrador with a sitter or really anyone else. Very happy with this decision.”

“One of the best dog sitters anyone can ever ask for, she was my first experience would definitely be using again, could not ask for better and she is very knowledgeable and has amazing reach with the dogs. Amazing person, would highly recommend.”

“Diana provided such a loving atmosphere for our little Mia. I was very nervous about leaving her with a stranger, but my nerves were quickly calmed when I met Diana and her family. I consider her now a friend!”

“Paola and her family were amazing with my babies. She sent me pictures and videos and the dogs were having a blast in her huge back yard. She eased my anxiety of leaving them for the weekend. I am grateful to have found her and already have another booking with her. Thank you Paola and family.”

“Mallie and her husband took good care of my dog Tuna!. She was willing to meet at her place for a meet&greet beforehand, which was important to me. She kept us informed throughout and was accommodated with my flight schedule changes. We will gladly book with her again!”

“Daniel and Becca were great! Made sure to send plenty of pictures and were available for any questions or check-ins. Bentley was in great hands, he had so much fun! Would definitely recommend to anyone.”

“Elizabeth is an excellent dog sitter. She’s communicative, and she’s a real dog person who will do what needs to be done in the face of any medical or physical concerns while my dog is on her watch. I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for credible caring boarding for their dog!”

About: I have a lifetime of experience with pups of every size and age, from all kinds of breeds, energy, and backgrounds. I have extensive care in senior dog care. I use to only rescue senior dachshund’s from the shelter at one point in my life. Just about all my friends and family rely on me for pet care. My thought process: Dogs lack the opposable thumbs required to feed and walk themselves, which is exactly why I spoil mine so much. Born and raised in Miami, FL, a true local. I work from home, so I am always around to keep an eye on the pups and give them plenty of attention. I finish my workday by 2:00 PM, which gives me wide-open afternoons and evenings for dedicated dog walking/parks and drop-in visits. Because I’m home so much and only host one small guest dog at a time, your pup will easily blend right into our daily routine! Safety is my top priority! I live in a secure apartment building which does have its designated area for the babies. I always keep a close eye during elevator rides, hallway and street walks. Inside my home, your pup will have the company of my two friendly dogs. I only host one guest dog at a time to ensure a calm environment.
“Great experience, we got pictures every day, our puppy was really happy with Marggen and her family. Will definitely book again. Thank you for taking such good care of our puppy.”

“Iliana was great with our little angel! We left our puppy with her multiple times and we trust her completely. I think he was sad to leave, she took care of him so nicely. Thank you Iliana!”

“This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t have selected a better sitter for our Duquesa. We received daily updates with photos or videos. She was treated the same way she’s treated at home, with lots of love and attention. I would definitely leave Duquesa with Natalie whenever I need to have a sitter again.”

“Teresa was amazing! She took care of Olive like she was her own dog. She sent me daily pictures and videos. She took her to the dog park and has a backyard where she had her outside often to run and play.”

“Patty and her family provided my Lulu with such love and great attention. They were patient with her as she slowly settled in. Patty sent daily updates to reassure us that Lulu was doing great. When we picked her up, she was so happy. Thank you to Patty and family for a great experience.”

“Lyliana was AMAZING with my dog, Molly. Molly gets anxious when we leave her and doesn't warm up easily to males, although she is great around kids and other dogs. Lyliana's warm and easy-going personality won Molly over right away. Molly felt at home right away. I received daily updates, photos, and videos which demonstrated how well Molly was doing in this new environment. They put my mind at ease, and I was able to enjoy my vacation. I highly recommend Lyliana!”

“We had Yanira for the first time for our yorkie because I needed emergency eye surgery. She was fantastic. We were worried it would affect our little one adversely but he was a happy little one when we got back. She is going to watch him when we go back for followup. I would highly recommend her”

“William was a great sitter for my rottie. He communicated frequently and sent pictures , so i could see my pup was happy. I hope to use him again in the future, I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and kind dog sitter.”

AMAZING! She was the best sitter for my pup. I was super nervous leaving him behind but she was so patient with him and welcomed him with so much love he had a great time and not to mention she was super responsive and sent pics and videos everyday. 10/10 recommend and will make sure to book her everytime we go on vacation.

Nathalie was beyond amazing with my Lulu! It was our first time meeting her and she went above and beyond with her incredible care, her updates and her flexibility. I will 1000% be recommending her to all my friends and family and look forward to utilizing her services again soon!

I took a chance on a new sitter, and I'm so glad I did! Matteo and his family made us feel right at home. They were very communicative, sending me videos and photos throughout the day. The highlight was watching my dog, Levi, become best friends with Matteo’s daughter. They came in as strangers and left as great friends. I highly recommend them—10/10!

This was by far the best experience I’ve ever had with someone caring for my dog! Melissa and her family went above and beyond in every possible way. They were incredibly supportive, attentive, and truly treated my dog like part of their own family. They followed all feeding schedules perfectly, made sure he was comfortable at all hours, and he had an amazing time playing with their dog, they became instant buddies! Melissa also provided daily updates with photos and videos, which gave me complete peace of mind and showed just how happy and well cared for he was. She made sure my dog felt welcomed, loved, and safe from day one. If a 10 star rating were available, I would give it without hesitation that’s how exceptional and attentive she was. If you’re considering leaving your dog with anyone, I truly cannot stress this enough: Melissa is, by miles, the best option you could ever choose.
