“John was amazing! Came through on short notice when my first sitter had to cancel and took great care of my dog and cat. Sent pics every day and was a great communicator! I felt my animals were safe and well cared for. I will definitely hire John again in the future!”


About: I began pet sitting at a very young age and worked at a boarding facility as my first official job at 13. As an adult, I worked as a vet assistant at a fast-paced animal hospital for 8 years until I had my 3rd child and became a stay at home mama. I learned a vast range of skills in vet medicine during my years of employment at the animal hospital, which include: properly administering medications, special needs care, assessing behavior, evaluating & deescalating various emergency situations, general grooming & bathing (no cuts), puppy care, senior care, and more. I have had a life-long passion for caring for animals and would be honored to care for yours! I am attentive to each client’s requests and pet’s needs, and will strive to exceed your expectations. My kiddos are older and I no longer want to work long clinic hours, but I do miss caring for my furry patients. I have no desire to overwhelm my schedule with multiple pet-sitting gigs, so you can rest assured your pets will have my full attention and care! I have 8 years of working in a clinical setting as a vet tech, and prior to that I worked in kennels and as a pet sitter.

“My dog is so shy around new people, especially in our home so I was so worried. Laquan came to the house and met up with us multiple times before my trip to help get her used to being around a new person. By the time we went on our trip and came back to town, she had gotten so comfortable with him. We’re so grateful for all his help, patience and understanding! We could tell she was taken care of well while we were gone!”


“Jana was vert friendly and it was super easy to work with her. She was great with all of my animals even my skittish cat came out for some love from Jana! I will definitely book with her again!”


“Whitney was so great with my pup! She kept his routine, communicated really well and sent plenty of pictures. Being away is never easy but she made it just easier not having to stress about my pup or home while I was away. Will definitely have her watch my pup in the future!”


“Kimber was so sweet to our girl, Knoxx! She was always quick to respond to any messages we sent and wanted to make sure that our dog was well taken care of! She sent several pictures and even treated her to a nice long walk at the park! We cannot thank her enough!”


About: I’ve worked on farms and worked with multiple animal types from dogs to goats. I’m accustomed to schedule planning and checking everything off each day and night. I am open in the afternoons and early in the mornings. I am quite flexible as long as I have prior notice. I also only work Sunday - Wednesday at my full time job ! I have a very relaxed home as I have my own puppy and she has full ranged of the entire house. She is fixed and potty trained. I do have a yard, and it is fenced in!


About: My undergraduate studies in Animal Cognition first brought me to Florida six years ago. I instantly fell in love with the sand, sun, and ability to truly live an outdoor lifestyle. And, it only gets better now that I get to share all these beautiful things with my rescued GSP pup! I have dedicated my professional career to studying the behavior of animals, whether it's marine mammals, horses, or our beloved canine companions. I have recently found myself returning to my passion for dog training and personalizing everyday routines to best suit my clients. Just like many of us paw parents, our pets equally benefit from consistency and familiar support. Taking this extra step to understand your pet's day-to-day routine and specific needs is how I plan to ease you both while you enjoy your time away. Don't worry, we plan on enjoying our time together too as we play, snuggle, and maybe sneak an extra treat or two! Just like you would if you were home 😉 PLEASE NOTE: *A scheduled MEET & GREET with your pet(s) will be REQUIRED prior to finalizing any services. *I have a FULL-TIME job and cannot guarantee midday potty breaks for most bookings. *I currently DO NOT offer boarding or daycare services. I am currently employed FULL-TIME during the weekdays. I am most available to help in the early mornings, evenings, and for overnight stays. Depending on the location of your residence, midday potty breaks may be feasible. I can always provide personal recommendations for daytime sitters/walkers upon request! I DO NOT offer boarding in my home at this time! My rescue pup is focusing on building his confidence, but continues to make friends everywhere we go. I hope to offer in-house boarding services soon. When applicable, vaccination records and references will be required upon booking.

“Did a photo shoot with my puppy. Made me feel he was well. She left little to worry about. Highly recommend for your little fur babies.”


“Thank you Sheri for taking care of Smidge!”


“This is our first time using a petsitter. I was pretty nervous. I have to tell you having our 4 dogs in their own home being cared for is a gamechanger. Jensen was on time and my dogs.loved him. He was polite and the house was in good shape when we got home. Most of all my.dogs were calm.and happy when we got back which is the best.part and that tells.me that they liked him! Thank you for caring for them and taking care of them while we were away. I would highly recommend him for your dogs.”


“Jennifer did an amazing job taking care of our four precious babies. All four dogs have special needs and daily meds, Jennifer did great taking care of their needs and giving them love. This is the first time we have left our babies over night, and thanks to Jennifer, we were able to take a vacation and enjoy ourselves, knowing that our dogs were being well cared for and loved. We hope to be able to use Jennifer again in the future. On a scale of zero to ten, I would rate her an eleven plus!!!”


“Bella loved staying with Cherie. I appreciate that Cherie reassured me that Bella was enjoying her stay. I liked seeing the photos and videos of Bella. I will leave Bella with Cherie anytime I go out of town.”


“I cannot say enough great things about Dian! From the moment we booked, she was communicative, professional, and incredibly thoughtful. She kept me updated throughout the entire stay, sending photos and reassuring messages that put my mind at ease—especially important since one of my pups is a newly rescued dog who can be a bit of a handful. Dian was patient, calm, and so kind. To my surprise (and delight!), my rescue warmed up to her so much faster than I expected. Her calm presence and genuine care made all the difference. As someone who’s super picky (okay, neurotic) when it comes to my dogs and their care, I can confidently say Dian is a 10 out of 10. If you’re considering booking her—stop thinking and just do it. Your pets will be in the absolute best hands!”


“We recently took a trip that our fur babies couldn’t go with us. Aerial dog/house sat for us. When we got home, the dogs were tired and the hose was clean. It was evident that she kept our babies on their schedule. She sent us pictures while we were gone and glad to see them playing ball, which is a must! Aerial is responsible and would recommend her when looking for a dog/house sitter.”



About: I will provide a tremendous amount of love for all pets that enter my home. I grew up mainly taking care of dogs but I have also experienced one cat, two birds, and two Guinea pigs. I've had two litters of Chow Chow puppies that I raised. My most recent pet of my own was 2020 when I welcomed our first Cavalier King Charles Spaniel to our home. Your pet will enjoy their time with me as their pup sitter, whether it's a brisk walk or overnight slumber, each moment is cherished as if they are my own. My personal experience will get us safely through the day, a belly rub a day keeps the fear away. Pet care fits in perfect for afternoon care. I work full time but have time for brisk walks out or a playful pup park run. Weekend sleepovers are fun as well. I currently crate my dog when away and allow freedom when home under adult supervision. When outside, a leash is mandated unless we are at the dog park, until our fence can be completely closed in.

“She treated my dogs like they were her’s. Highly recommended”


“Paola is a wonderful pet sitter who takes excellent care of our furry babies! She is very warm, friendly and reliable. When we came home from our trip, our little furry troop was relaxed and happy, and our home was spotless. Paola, thank you for taking such awesome care of Finnlea and Rooster. We look forward to working with you again!!”


About: I’ve taken care of my own animals since I was 10 years old. My neighbors always relied on me to walk their animals and take care of personal stuff as needed:) I am currently in nursing school and my classes go through majority of morning but in afternoon I’m free to take care of your animal I have a small apartment but it is perfect for my animals and me. I’m more so looking to go help at other peoples houses since the small environment may not be best for all of our children lol

“Luis was wonderful. She set up the meeting before hand and I had to reschedule and she was very accommodating. She communicated with us the entire time we were out of town and she was able to give our puppy his medication while we were gone. We were so relieved to find an animal lover like her. I will definitely be using her again!”

Marina L.

“Marina is an absolute gem! From the very first time we met her, she has shown incredible care, reliability, and a genuine love for animals. Our dogs immediately took to her warm demeanor and are excited and happy to see her every time she watches them. She’s always punctual, communicates clearly, and often goes above and beyond—sending photos and giving detailed updates. It gives me such peace of mind knowing that my dogs are in such capable and caring hands. Marina’s professionalism and compassion truly set her apart. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”
