Dog Sitting Palmetto Bay

“The best experience! This was the first time our dog and two cats stayed at home during our vacation. And I’m happy to report because of Jennifer the experience was 100% enjoyable and stress-free. Many pics at every drop-in, reports regarding their food, bathroom breaks and activities! Extremely communicative and reliable. Will definitely book again!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I currently have two cats, two dogs, and a parrot, so I truly understand how much love and attention pets need every day. From feeding, walking, and playtime to keeping them comfortable and happy, I enjoy every part of taking care of animals. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy or a shy cat, I’m patient, gentle, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry (or feathered!) family members, and I always aim to give them the same love and care they get at home. I’ve cared for pets my whole life! I’m free most of the week: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday anytime; Tuesday and Thursday after late afternoon (5pm); weekends all day, perfect for walks, visits, or boarding. I love keeping pets happy, healthy, and comfortable, and I treat every animal like family. I have two friendly dogs and a large, fully fenced yard with plenty of space for pets to run and play safely. I can adapt to any routine, provide fresh food and water, and maintain a clean, comfortable space. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize safety, supervision, and creating a calm, loving environment so every pet feels happy, secure, and well cared for.

“Karla was great, very caring and loving towards my cats. I highly recommend her”

About: I’ve worked in the vet field for ten years and have owned dogs for the same amount of time. I am in love with my doggies and I treat them like my own children. I extend the same passion and love when I take care of other people’s babies, because I know how dear and important they are to our lives. I can administer medications for special need dogs and/or whichever other special instruction is needed. I have three full days off in the week, where I am available all day. The rest of the days, I am available before 10am and after 7pm. I have a fenced yard, and have a designated room for the dogs (filled with toys, pee pads, crates). Although they can roam around the house, it is never unsupervised.

“Donovan was an amazing sitter for my cat , May. I was gone for 2 weeks, but I knew she was in good hands. Donovan was very communicative on her moods and eating habits . I received pictures everyday , which eased my mom guilt. Very kind and understanding. I’d recommend Donovan as a sitter to anyone and will be using him again”

“Natalia is incredible!! I hired her very last minute for drop in visits and walks for my bernedoodle Bear, when my plans changed on extremely short notice. She was flexible, reliable and friendly, and even more importantly, she really took the time to connect with Bear. This was my first time leaving Bear since adopting him, and since I work from home, he is not used to spending time alone. After one drop in visit, he began howling after Natalia left; she heard him, went back inside to calm him down, left her sweatshirt for him to cuddle with, and stayed until he settled. I felt so reassured knowing that someone so caring was looking after him. We will absolutely hire Natalia again going forward.”

“Cameron always does an amazing job taking care of our 2 dogs! They have different needs and very different personalities and she is able to handle them very well and they seem to enjoy their time with her :) she is very easy to communicate with and flexible with changes. I hope to have Cameron dog-sit for us again in the future!”

About: I have owned and taken care of dogs for over 15 years. I understand that my client's pet is very precious. I am a responsible, attentive carer. I believe in making your pet's environmental change as comfortable, fun, safe, nurturing and active as possible. I take in/care for pets of most sizes and ages, and I don't like to have more than I owner's pets at a time, to ensure that things run safely and smoothly. I am flexible, accommodating, and I work from home, so I'm able to give your pet loads of attention. I have extensive experience fostering dogs for rescue groups. Some of these dogs were special needs cases in terms of medical needs and anxiety issues. I have a safe, large enough garden. I can do pick up, drop off, overnight, daycare, walking, baths and special trips as required. I am available most holidays and weekends and in the week. I have a jack-russel/chihuahua mix of my own under 1 year who gets on well with other dogs. I'm currently working part-time from home, so I have plenty of time to play with and give loving attention to your pup's needs, including walks and play time. I have a fenced yard and plenty space to run around. The dogs will have regular inside and outside time. Walks are regular and as long and often as you choose. We are home to play and have loads of fun too. Your pet will feel loads of love and attention in this happy, friendly and fun environment.

“Lexi has been an invaluable asset in our family, always ready to step in to take care of our Bingo & Rolly to make sure we had the time to bring the kids on a rare day/weekend trip. Even when asking last minute, same day, Lexi always came to our help and once here into our home she lovingly took care of our beloved pugs as if they were hers, so much so that even our rescue Bingo who has experienced trauma in the past and is shy with most people, opened up to her. Regrettably, we are leaving the area, or else Lexi would have surely remained our trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you, Lexi, for taking care of Bingo & Rolly and for being so friendly and kind to us.”

About: I have been a passionate pet owner all my life, with years of experience caring for my own pets as well as dogs belonging to friends. Additionally, I have worked professionally as a dog walker and pet sitter, ensuring every dog receives attentive care, daily exercise, and lots of love. I am currently a student working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to take care of your pets. Because of my schedule, I have a lot of free time during the day to devote full attention to your dog, provide frequent potty breaks, and take them on nice, long walks. "I have a spacious, fully fenced yard where dogs can play safely. Whether hosting in my home or sitting at yours, I prioritize safety above all. I keep a clean environment, strictly follow all your routine instructions, and make sure your pet feels loved, comfortable, and safe at all times

About: I bring a calm, attentive, and compassionate approach to pet care, with hands-on experience fostering and caring for dogs of all temperaments—including rescues and anxious pups. I’m highly detail-oriented, reliable, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I prioritize safety, routine, exercise, and emotional comfort, whether that means long walks, structured play, or quiet companionship. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, my patience, and my ability to tune into each pet’s unique needs—giving owners peace of mind and pets a stress-free, loving experience. I work remotely full time (M-F, 8am–5pm), meaning I’m home most of the day and can give your pup plenty of attention and timely breaks. Before caring for your pup, I like to discuss their routine in detail—including medications, exercise needs, anxiety levels, and behavior with other dogs, animals, or people—to ensure the best experience for everyone.

About: In high school my community service was dog sitting homeless dogs. Then over summer break I’d train pets. I love it so much I’ll honestly do it for free. I’m currently working part time from home so I could pet sit full time. I’ve been dog sitting for a friend and decided that I would like to work full time. It brings me so much joy. Easy job for me. Usually, I would prefer to see the parent with their pet to understand the pet’s behavior. I enjoy one on one time with the pet.. whether they enjoy tummy rubs or playing w their toys. I would like to understand them.

About: I am a lifelong dog owner with hands-on experience in both senior dog care and high-energy puppies. I offer a lifetime of personal pet ownership combined with years of providing reliable cat care and housesitting services for neighbors and family. I am patient with all animals and ready to give your pet the dedicated attention they deserve. Being a university student as long as I don't have classes I am available. I have a highly flexible schedule and am able to structure my study hours around your pet's needs, providing consistent supervision and companionship. I am mostly free in the afternoon on weekdays and any time on weekends. I tailor every visit to your pet's specific routine and comfort levels. Safety is always at the top of my mind, so I am vigilant about door security whenever entering a home. Once inside, my time is all theirs. For high-energy pets, I can spend my time burning off their energy in the yard or a safe space inside. For older pets, I provide calm companionship and a comforting presence. I am meticulous about following instructions regarding feeding, refreshing water, locking up, and keeping your home secure.

About: Hello, thank you for taking an interest in boarding your pet with me at a Dog’s Dream Vacation provided by a dog lover. I love dogs and I am a borderline dog whisperer. When your pet stays with me, they are getting a vacation of their own. When you travel or go on vacation, they get to have a getaway of their own. If using the Rover App, scroll through the top picture to see the photo gallery of dogs having fun and enjoying their vacation. If on the desktop website, click on full gallery photos. Rover is definitely better than boarding your pet at a dog hotel, especially if they are anxious pets. It is like Air BnB for your pet. : ) I live on a small peaceful lake with a big, fenced backyard. There is usually a nice breeze. I have a big open space home and a large backyard, plus a pool. Pets can go in the pool. I know golden retrievers and Labradors can’t resist, so please let me know if your dog may attempt to go in and if you prefer that they don’t. The lake is closed off, not connected to other lakes or canals (very safe) but still I do not allow pets in the lake as there is bacteria. We have a very old cat, he is 15 years old and most dogs get along with him, even if they have never been around a cat. I sadly hate to update my profile, and it took me a few months to do so because of grief. We had a cute, playful, friendly Labrador. His name was Chance and he died of a hemangiosarcoma tumor on his liver and spleen. Apparently, labs and retrievers can get this. Unfortunately, nobody knows exactly what causes hemangiosarcoma in dogs. It is one of the most studied canine cancers, but there is no single proven cause. Researchers believe it results from a combination of: genetics, age, or random DNA mutations. The last few pictures were of me and Chance having fun. Our prices are in line with the market rate (and cheaper than a dog hotel) but in my home, your dog is getting a vacation, eventually a playmate once we get another dog. I prefer dogs that are potty trained. I also prefer friendly breeds. Please bring your dog’s bed, food and 2 poop bags per day. Also bring their crate if crate trained (this is in case only if I have more than 2 dogs during busy holiday season AND only if they are used to their home crate). It also helps some dogs feel at home and have their own scent. Be sure they are bathed and clean as they tend to lay on our rugs. I prefer they do not go on furniture but it’s ok if they do (Chance used to lay on the couch all the time). I am available weekends and/or holidays. I can also provide dog walks in Brickell during the weekday. On some occasions I can do a dog visit but it depends on day and location. Please let me know if you need more information or have any questions. I work full time but work from home 2 days out of the week. I keep dogs on a feeding schedule along with back yard play time and potty time. They basically do the same routine and schedule as Chance. I have a fenced in yard and one dog to keep your fur baby happy and in good company. I can crate your dog if needed or if you prefer. Please bring their crate if crate trained and sleep or are used to going in and out of their "home'. Sometimes it helps them having their scent.

“Thank you so much for taking such great care of our dogs while we were away. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We truly appreciate your time, attention, and kindness!”

About: I have had puppies to 18 year old dogs and cats in my life since I was a child. I have worked at a doggy daycare/boarding facility so I just know dogs. I have my own 6 year old, 60 lb dog that I adopted from a shelter when he was just 2 months old. I have taken care of everything you can imagine, and I will always show love to your animal. Your pet will have my full attention and energy throughout the time we’re together. Depending on the care your pet requires, I can fit all the time I can to care for your pet. I have my own dog so I know what it means to spend quality time with them and the amount of time that is required to care for them properly. Im usually free after 1 pm. I will care for your pet as if it were my own, and I will do anything your pet requires to meet its and your own needs and wants. I will respect you, your animal, and your space as much as I respect my own.

About: I have grown up walking dogs and have 2 cats at home. I love cats, dogs, and long walks. I know when they are hungry or thirsty, or when it is time to go to the bathroom. I don't mind cleaning up messes and will take responsibility for any accidents that the animal made. I am a college student at UF currently home for summer break. I am looking to work and will be available as much as I can. As a home sitter, I am respectful and will make sure to follow the rules and boundaries placed by the owner. You can tell me anything and I will make sure to listen and act accordingly.
