“Thank you for taking care of our fur babies! Jessica was awesome and very reliable. She followed every instruction we left and never really needed extra guidance (which we wouldn’t have minded) but it was nice to enjoy our vacation knowing our pets were in good hands. Thank you so much again, will definitely use you again for any future trips.”
“Sophia did a fantastic job taking care of my cat while I was out for a week. She went above and beyond to make sure my cat was happy and comfortable. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter!”
“We had another perfect experience with Kristen! This is the second time Kristen has taken care of our kitty, and we’re so happy we found her because she makes it so easy and worry-free. She is always reliable, communicative, and so considerate!”
“Needed some dog walking help while recovering from surgery and Molly was prompt to respond & book. Molly is friendly, polite, reliable, responsible, great with my dog and would highly recommend & will not hesitate to book again. Great job!”
“When I needed a new person to take care of my pups as soon as their regular sitter became unavailable, Brian was a guardian angel. My pups were all over him during the meet & greet with hugs and kisses! And when Brian visited them three times a day to give them their food and take them outside, the pups were always happy and well-fed. Brian made sure to send me regular updates and photos after each visit. It was a pleasure working with him and I would strongly recommend him for all of your pet care needs. I know my pups will be in great hands the next time I have to travel. Thanks Brian and looking forward to more Rover adventures!”
“Ava went above any expectations I had while caring for my two pomskys one being a baby that is potty training and learning that biting isn’t nice. She picked up and cleaned that I hadn’t even asked of her.”
About: Hello! My name is Brieleigh and I am a student at Florida Institute of Technology in Melbourne Florida. In college I study math and am on the NCAA swim team. I have had dogs and cats my whole life and, naturally, know how to take care of them. While I do not have a cat now, I have had my fair share of wild kittens in my life.

(: Dogs are family! When in others home I will respect it as if it is my own. You are paying for my services and I will make sure you get what you payed for through respect and care.
“Madison was great!!! I had a last second flight and she was very flexible for my needs. I’m guessing she was great to my dog because he’s 21 years old and still bouncing around as usual.”
“Shelby was amazing! She was scheduled for 2 visits a day for 2 days when family was visiting from out of state with their 10 month old puppy. She was prompt, spent a good amount of time with the puppy on her visits and sent the most precious pictures at every visit. Don’t hesitate to call Shelby, I highly recommend her!”
“There's a reason you're reading all of these great reviews...Michelle is FABULOUS! She took care of my senior dogs shortly after my move into the area. Any worries I had about how they would handle my absence were quickly put to rest with her thorough updates that included loads of photos of my boys during her visits. I would definitely recommend her without any hesitation! We'll be her newest repeat clients!”
About: I’m not just a pet sitter, I’m pet lover. I’ve cared for my own dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, and fish growing up. I’ve also cared for the pets of my family, friends, and neighbors. In high school I graduated from a veterinary technician program, and while I changed my career path, I still have the training and experience to care for animals no matter the age, personality, or needs. I can also administer medication, bathe and lightly groom your pets upon request. I work from home and my schedule allows plenty of flexibility to ensure my pets as well as yours will get the care they need. It’s not just about the pets. I understand how important it is for you to return to a tidy, safe, and secure environment after your travels. Rest assured, your house is in good hands with me. I’ll keep things are running smoothly, water your plants, collect your mail, and ensure your home remains a haven of tranquility.
About: Hi! My name is SJ! I always wanted to find someone reliable, kind, gentle and understanding to watch my own girls when I needed to go out of town. So I decided to be that for others who may also need a lil help in the puppy department. Trusting someone with your fur babies is one of the hardest things... Let me help take that stress off of your shoulders. Leave a detailed message on how to care for your fur baby and I got you! I treat every animal as if it were a human. Dogs especially always find their way to me 😂 I'm basically Ms. Rachel , but for dogs 🤣 I can be available for drop in visits, or some in-home sitting, let me know what you need. No worries! For some reason my rates are all over the place on this app and there's no way for me to update them I keep it easy and the same for everyone. 20 per visit +10 for additional pets. Example: 1 dog + 3 visits = 60. 2 dogs + 3 visits = 90. Message me or text to book I'm an Uber Driver and a local musician so I occasionally play music around Brevard county but I have plenty of time for your pets! My girls are set in their daily routines. I come and go throughout the day. I have a semi fenced yard (the rest is a natural barrier) our girls stay in the garden and don't ever leave the premises. It's a garden/dog park in our backyard. In your home, I would just need very clear directions on what your expectation is and I can follow that guideline with no problem :) My time is spent with your pet playing, feeding, walking, or just being there for some human interaction. I can clean up anything while I'm there for you. Just think of me as your assistant. Let me know what I can do to make your pet/day a little easier.
About: My wife and I have been pet sitting for several years. My clients have all become part of the family. I genuinely love being around animals, going for walks and spending time with animals. We were dog sitting previously in Canada while living there, we would be happy to provide you with additional references. We have the friendliest 7 year old Irish setter who absolutely loves being around people and dogs (He spends a lot of his time at Fred Popp dog park running in circles for an hour). He loves both large and small dogs and he does not seem to care if they are female or male. When pet sitting at your home, my dog will stay home with his other family members . We work from home so were always around. We love walking and being outdoors so your pet will get lots of exercise (I can track the pets walks on my phone and send updates and photos so you know your buddy is having a great time). We will always discuss the pets needs before caring for them as every pet is different and deserves the staycation that's best for them. We will discuss the pets' needs with the owner and come up with a plan that they are comfortable. (I'll do my best to stick to the same routine they have at home )
“Celia is a natural with animals and was wonderful with my boys from start to finish! We were gone for 6 weeks but knew the whole time that our cats were in the best hands. 🤍 Thank you for taking great care of our fur babies and even going out of your way to make sure our home was in order! I highly recommend Celia to anyone looking for a responsible, communicative, loving pet sitter.”
“My 3 pups (all over 13 years old) were taken care of as if they were Gretchen’s own babies. Gretchen is one in a million! My pups just loved her and she loves them. Thank you for taking the stress, anxiety and guilt away from us. They are just too old and precious to take to a boarding facility. I will forever hire Gretchen to take care of my babies.”
About: I have had 2 dogs in the household at all times since I was a baby and started dog sitting at 14. I have experience fostering dogs, boarding, training, walking and sitting. I have cared for dogs big and small, young and old and have loved them all. I am attentive to detail and give them the care they deserve. I am consistent with communication and will send updates/pictures throughout or as requested! I am currently working Wednesdays and have classes Tuesday-Friday. Friday is a very short day for me so besides one hour in the morning I am free. The best days for me are Saturday-Monday but my schedule is very flexible and I can work with you and what's best for your pups! I am a very active person so I take pups on long walks or runs (if they are up for it) multiple times a day. I am very attentive to their needs and they will always come first.

ABOVE AND BEYOND! Alexander and Dorys are the most reliable, trustworthy, responsible, kind, loving and fun people that I have ever hired to care for my pets or my three children! I highly recommend hiring them if you want zero worries about your fur babies or your home. I could share two weeks' worth of daily examples of their great communication and execution of my list of tasks, but I will share just one: CHRISTMAS EVE. 5:30pm. Jones, our indoor/outdoor cat, wouldn't come home. The entire family was multiple states away, as were most of our friends and neighbors. Alexander and Dorys arrive a bit early to get Jones safely inside for the night, cleaned the box and food and water dishes, and were ready to play and cuddle for 30 minutes. (always sending me pics and updates.) They kept calling for him. Did the nightly routine: selected a good TV program for him, checked thermostat and garbage, and kept calling for him --- on Christmas Eve when they were on the way to their family gathering. They were communicating with me that Jones was not home, and I told them they should leave the cat door open and to go to dinner with their family. It was Christmas Eve! (And, Jones often doesn't come back home immediately when called.) I said the neighbor would keep an eye out. But, Alexander and Dorys didn't feel good about leaving Jones outside and didn't want me to worry. Instead of leaving him outside like I said to do, they tracked Jones' Airtag that I had shared previously. The lovely couple went throughout the neighborhood, calling him and shaking his treats until they found him two blocks away. Then, Jones didn't want to ride in the car. So, Dorys walked and carried Jones all the way back home. And, they still petted him and gave him his nightly catnip party! I will attach a pic of the walk home with Jones looking like he's clawing her arm, but she never said a single word about that. They were just happy to have found him and made sure my fur baby was safely home so I could have a worry-free Christmas Eve. I believe this single example of my experience with Alexander and Dorys is a real testament to the care they would give your pets. In addition, they also cared for my large 'high-maintainence' German Shepherd the week that he had leg surgery for new ACL, and Dorys sat on the couch beside him and read with him the entire night to ease his separation anxiety. Gave medication, treats, and took care of Jones' indoor/outdoor needs... Dr. Dog was the least anxious that I have ever seen him upon our return home. He was so happy and peaceful ... another testament to the connection they have with the animals. You can see it. They are animal people, truly kind, and the pets and I love them - you will, too! :) ( Most of all for me busy working and traveling with family, etc.... I like not worrying about anything, no matter what. They took care of everything that came up without me giving a second thought. Worth every penny for the peace of mind... everything taken care of... everyone is happy!)
