“Great sitter! Alexandria is attentive to instruction, kind, communicative, and great with animals. She took extra time to play with my cats and cleaned up any litter box mess.”


“Dmitria was awesome! She helped us out with a day of notice and went above and beyond. Walking Jasmine, spending time with her, even bringing in our Amazon packages!! We would highly recommend Dmitria.”


“Olivia was popped in on my pups to let them out for a potty break and she was great she played with them in the yard and then snuggled them on the couch giving them everything they needed! Definitely will be using olivia again!”


“Annelise is awesome! She agreed to watch my 3 kitties last minute and on a holiday week. She is attentive to your pets and gives them lots of love. She treated both my animals and my house with respect. I've already booked with her again!”


“Not only was Sierra amazing with our cats while we were out of town, but she also took amazing care of our home. The kitties loved her. She was able to keep my shy, anxious little cat calm while we were gone, getting her to eat all her food and even play some games! My other little kitty became Sierras best friend, as she was so sweet with him and gave him all the snuggles and play time. Sierra went above and beyond what was asked of her, and I could not give a higher recommendation!”


“Nina was absolutely amazing with our puppy! We took a weeks vacation and Nina was on time for every visit! Took great care of our puppy and left very detailed reports with lots of pictures! We will definitely be using her again in the future and would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a reliable and caring sitter for their animals!”


About: My name is Brittany I’m a stay at home mom married to a Police Sergeant with 3 kiddos who absolutely LOVE animals just like we do :) I do dog sitting because I genuinely LOVE dogs and all animals so being able to care them makes me so happy! I’ve been pet sitting for 25 years, I'm a certified dog trainer, and I have been breeding golden doodles and Giant Schnoodles for over 10 years. Animals are my absolute passion, both my dogs have their Canine Good Citizen certification and my Giant Schnauzer is therapy dog certified. We have a 110lb Giant Schnauzer and a 45lb Goldendoodle, both are unspayed females and both love to play. We also have a cat, bearded dragon, chickens, and a horse and pony. The horse and pony are kept elsewhere. I’ve fostered 75 puppies over the past 20 years and I've bred/raised over 100 puppies so I had to crate train, potty train, leash train, obedience work, and so much more with those puppies giving me a lot of experience as a dog sitter/trainer. About your dogs stay with us: For night time I don’t require them to be crated, only if you crate them at night at home will I crate them. Most pups join in the puppy sleepover in the living room where I put their dog beds next to each other, I do have extra beds if your dogs need one. We have a nice and BIG Fenced in yard for the dogs to run around and play in! Dogs are not put outside and left there for long periods of time at my house. I’m usually out there with them throwing the ball or just supervising, they will never be left outside for long, because let’s be honest this is Florida and it’s hot and the dogs definitely feel it too! I hope you choose me for your pet sitting! I can’t wait to work with you! :) I am home most of the day so I am able to do daily walks, feed on a schedule, and provide love and attention all throughout the day. I have a large fenced in yard where your dog can run and play with my dogs or with me. I feed all dogs separately to avoid conflict and I make sure they are eating even if I need to hand make eggs or chicken to add to their bowl. When I do home visits I spend at the very least 30 minutes in your home with your pet. I don't want them to feel alone so I treat them like I would my own pets but giving love and attention, playtime, and treats if permitted.

About: I am a former special education teacher who has loved and taken care of dogs my whole life. I’ll love your pet as my own! I am not working right now so I have a lot of time to care for your pets. Weekdays or weekends work for me. Can’t wait to meet your fur babies! I can go to your home to care for your pets. Your fur babies will be safe and loved in the comfort of their own home while you are away.

About: I've taken care of dogs for friends and neighbors since I was 12. I have two dogs of my own, and am comfortable working with higher energy breeds, larger dogs, as well as any dogs that may have anxiety with new people/places. I have experience with training, and can continue whatever you're working on with your pup while I'm taking care of them. I know how stressful it can be when life gets in the way and you need someone there for your pup, I'm there to make it easier! I'm a stay at home/work from home mom, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pups! I'm available most days throughout the week and am flexible. I have a fenced yard, and two dogs of my own. I am comfortable casting your dog if needed, putting them in a harness or lead, administering medicine, anything you may need.

I also have a 10 year old little boy who is a dog LOVER! I do work for the complex that I live in, so I am more than capable of check ins as needed.

About: With over twenty years of experience caring for cats of all ages and temperaments, I have developed a thorough understanding of their unique behaviors and needs. From energetic kittens to senior cats with specific health considerations, I provide compassionate care that extends beyond basic responsibilities. I am skilled in administering medications—including pills, liquids, and topical treatments—in a patient and calm manner, ensuring that stressful situations are managed smoothly for both the animal and owner. I prioritize maintaining a clean and comfortable environment, with particular attention to deep-cleaning litter boxes regularly to minimize odors and promote a safe, hygienic space where cats can thrive. My extensive background in feline care, combined with my dedication to their health and well-being, positions me as a trustworthy caretaker who genuinely values the comfort and happiness of pets. In addition, I bring over a decade of hands-on experience caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, small mammals, and exotic pets. My volunteer work at an animal shelter during high school provided valuable insights into animal behavior, health management, and emergency response. Throughout the years, caring for friends’ and family members’ pets has further enhanced my knowledge and skills. What differentiates my approach is my ability to care for pets at all life stages and with diverse temperaments. I am experienced in basic puppy training techniques to help establish good habits early on, as well as providing gentle, attentive care for senior pets with special needs. Whether managing medical routines, understanding species-specific requirements, or offering loving companionship, I am committed to treating every pet with the same level of care and respect as I would my own. I'm currently a WFH employee with flexibility to stay at the house with your pet during the workday or to drop in throughout the day to ensure all their needs are met. I have flexibility everyday throughout the week to provide drop ins, walks, or house sitting. Cats and/or Dogs are loved, accepted, and wanted in my care. I prioritize safety and trust by creating a calm, secure environment tailored to each pet’s needs, including stress-minimizing spaces and hazard-proofing. In clients’ homes, I follow routines, respect their spaces, and adhere to detailed care instructions to ensure consistency. I supervise pets, secure entry points, and use pet-friendly cleaning products. I communicate regularly with owners, providing updates and addressing concerns. My goal is to ensure pets feel safe, relaxed, and well-cared for in any setting.

About: I am an animal lover through and through! I have had animals throughout my entire life and would love to meet your furry friends! I am able to provide basic care such as walking, feeding, and playtime as well as advanced skills such as administrating medication, special care for puppies or senior pets, and creating a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment. I am huge in communication and am prepared to go above and beyond for your pets! I am currently working part-time, so I have a very flexible schedule and am eager to help you with your pups! I am able to walk, play, and board animals! I have one friendly fur baby of my own, a corgi Aussie mix to keep your pup company. For pups who don’t get along with others, I can easily accommodate. I am happy to keep your dog crated if necessary. We have a fenced in park in neighborhood for your pup to run around all day to get all that energy out as well!

“My dog doesn't seem to miss me at all after having Reagan come over to care for her! I love the pictures she sends and the little updates of her visit. I trust Reagan in my home and my furry family clearly loves her.”


“Grace was punctual, friendly, and great with my puppy. I feel at ease knowing my pup was in good hands while I was away. I highly recommend Grace to anyone in need of a reliable dog walker.”

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience in the veterinary field. I currently work in a vet clinic, so I’m trained to handle pets with care, patience, and attention to detail—including those with special medical needs. Whether it’s giving medications, spotting health concerns, or just offering belly rubs and playtime, your pet is in safe, knowledgeable hands. I treat every animal like they’re my own and always aim to keep tails wagging and hearts happy while you’re away! I currently work Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays at a veterinary clinic. I’m available for daytime, evening, and weekend visits, and can easily adjust as needed on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. If an early morning or later evening walk or drop in is needed, please message me! I am available on the days that I work if needed. My preference is to watch fur babies in the comfort of their own home. In my past experiences I have found that this works best for the safety and trust for both pets and clients.

About: I have been pet & house sitting since I was a teenager! I love your furry friends like they are my own. Thanks to my flexible schedule, I can likely accommodate yours! I work a full time job with flexible hours so I can work my schedule completely around your pets needs! Walks and check ins in the middle of the day? No problem! I am happy to come to your home so your pet doesn’t need to leave their comfort zone! My roommate has a 3 year old German Shepard, so I am used to large pets!

Brittany-Lee H.
“My wife and I like to go on sporadic vacations quite often and we wouldn’t be able to do that if we didn’t have Brittany watching our 2 dogs. She makes us feel much easier about leaving our babies behind because they always have so much fun at her house and she’s way more affordable than the other dog sitters we’ve tried out in the past! ?”


Shayne M.
“Anytime I need a sitter for my dog, Jack Jack, Shayne is the first person I call! He gets treated like a king when he’s with her, so he’s excited to see her every time. Plus, she never forgets to send pictures and updates on him to keep me in the loop. Jack Jack requires more specialized care as he takes medications several times a day, and Shayne does that and much more every time! I’ve been recommending her to family and friends for years, and I will recommend her to you, too!”


Julia D.Star Sitter
“Julia was phenomenal! I truly felt so homebound with her where she catered to our style of how we watch our dog. She was informative throughout the stay in letting us know every update. We have an epileptic dog and she was extra commutative with medicinal dosages. Someone who is a helicopter with their dog, I was really appreciative and thankful for how she catered to my dog. I’ve considered other locations due to marketing but was turned off with little things that matter most & Julia was very spot and also competitively affordable. Will definitely use her again”

Whether it’s administering medication, handling anxious pets, or simply offering companionship, she approaches every animal with patience and care. If you’re looking for someone dependable, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about animals, Jayna would be an excellent choice.

Palm Bay dog parents share their Rover experiences
Lora not only dropped in, she played with our babies, she gave them couch time ( Onyx’s favorite time to cuddle up and get loving) and the babies looked happy in all the pics. We received detailed updates on their progress. We were able to relax on our vacation knowing Lora was caring for them.

I had family in from out of state and we were going to spend a full day at Disney World. It was very important that I had someone come to care for my pets that I could count on to show up to make sure they were able to get out and run a little and to make sure they had water. Michelle did everything I had asked her to do- there were 4 dogs to care for. She was on time. The dogs liked her and I was thrilled that I could enjoy the day with family and not have to worry about my pups. I have had sitters before that either didn't come on time or didn't care for my pets the way I asked. When you are away from home and can't get back right away- there is nothing worse to know your animals were not getting what they needed. I highly recommend Michelle.

Thanks so much to Daniel D for taking great care of our dog, Tucker! We never worry when we are away because we know he is in great hands with Daniel D!! He sends us so many pictures and videos to keep us posted during our travels!! So happy we found the best pet sitter!!!💙🐶
