About: What sets me apart is my genuine passion for animals and my patient, attentive care style. I’ve had and babysat several dogs over the years, so I understand the unique personalities and needs each pup can have. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet senior pups who need a little extra love and gentle handling. I treat every dog like family—whether we’re going on a walk, having playtime, or just relaxing together. You can count on me for dependable, loving care and consistent communication while you're away. As a private contractor, I have the flexibility to choose my own hours, which makes pet care a natural and rewarding part of my daily routine. I’m able to dedicate focused time throughout the day for walks, visits, and quality one-on-one attention. Whether it's a morning check-in, mid-day play session, or evening cuddle time, I can easily work around each pet’s needs and schedule. This flexibility allows me to provide dependable, personalized care without ever feeling rushed. In my client’s home, I focus on keeping your pet comfortable by maintaining their usual routine. I follow all care instructions closely—from feeding and walks to playtime and medications—and always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and relaxed in their familiar environment. I respect your space, keep things tidy, and send regular updates so you feel confident while you’re away. Whether it’s a quick visit or overnight stay, I’m all about creating a calm, caring experience for your pet.

“Serena went above and beyond to make me feel super comfortable with her taking care of my baby. She was always sending me pictures, videos and texts! She even brought in some packages that were outside my door and put my trash bins back to where they are! My baby loves her and even ate from her hands! I felt so good knowing they are in good hands. I recommend her 100%! Thank you Serena!!”


About: I currently have two dogs whom I call my children! And also babysat cats for friends! I’m patient caring, and pay attention at all times! Before work I’m always up at 4 am to ensure time for my dogs to walk, eat, and spend time with each other before I leave. I always make sure there is plenty of love shown at all times. One of my dogs will try to eat his brothers food, so I stand guard until they are done eating. I brush their teeth and hair daily. I use treats as reward for good behavior, but I spoil with healthy treats.

“Marcela is an amazing pet sitter. She was beyond thorough following all the instructions we provided for our four cats. She was always on time and paid close attention to detail. Truly a pleasure to work with and we will definitely reach out to her again next time we need a cat sitter. I’m certain she is great with all pets but if you have cats, she should be your go to :)”


About: Hey there, I'm Isabella! I've been taking care of dogs for over 8 years now. I have my own pup whom I've trained and raised, and I've helped out with pets for my family and friends too. I've had a soft spot for animals since I got my first dog at 10, and it's been a joy looking after pets ever since. Whether it's going for walks, feeding, giving baths, or just playing around, I've always loved hanging out with pets. My family and friends have always trusted me to take care of their pets, and I promise to give your pet the same level of love and attention. I'll make sure your pet feels super happy, safe, and has a blast with me! I really believe in building a strong bond with both you and your pet, which is why I suggest we meet up before finalizing any plans. This way, I can understand your pet's needs and personality, ensuring they get the best care possible. We can have this meet-and-greet in person or over FaceTime, whichever works best for you. Can't wait to meet you and your furry buddy soon! As a full-time student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to offer pet sitting services during both weekdays and weekends. I am dedicated and available to take care of your pets whenever you need. When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home, my top priority is ensuring the pet’s comfort, safety, and well-being. I tailor my care based on the specific needs of each pet and the service being provided. For pets staying in my home, I strive to create a welcoming and safe environment that mimics their routine as closely as possible. This includes maintaining regular feeding times, providing plenty of exercise and playtime, and offering a cozy space for rest. I also ensure that each pet has access to their favorite toys and familiar items to help them feel at ease. Regular monitoring of their health, behavior, and overall comfort is a key part of my care, and I’m always prepared to address any needs that arise. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the same attention to detail and consistency with routines. I respect the client’s space, ensuring the home remains secure and clean while adhering to specific instructions related to feeding, exercise, and any medical needs. I provide regular updates to keep the client informed and reassured that their pet is being well taken care of. My goal is to provide loving and attentive care in both environments, ensuring pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away.

About: I primarily take care of cats but I also have a special place in my heart for exotic animals. I do extensive research on animals because I'm a helicopter parent haha, and I have experience across many species! I've taken care of gerbils, rabbits, fish, hamsters, you name it. What I'm the most experienced with are rabbits and cats. I've owned/fostered 3 rabbits in my life, and two cats (aside from any that I've babysat over the years). Currently, I have one calico cat and two rabbits! I'd love to take care of your furry friend <3 Currently working part-time being a caretaker for children, less than 15 hours a week at the moment, so I have lots of spare time to take care of your beloved pet! I 100% would like to do a meet and greet prior to watching your pet. Not only so you can meet me but also your pet can meet me. It's daunting for animals who tend to have skittish qualities to have to be with a stranger and I'd like to mitigate their initial discomfort as much as possible. When taking care of a pet I'd also like thorough instructions on how to care for them and their routine, so there's not so much change for them. You can trust that I will follow your directions.

About: With multiple years of dedicated experience in the pet industry, I've grown my skills through mentorship and specialized training. My experience of being a professional pet sitter and dog walker has shown me how to work with dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. From energetic puppies to sweet seniors, I know how to keep them happy, safe, and loved while you’re away! Trust me to provide compassionate, reliable, and professional care for your beloved companions! I am in school online and working as a substitute teacher where my work days are chosen by me, making it easy to work around and be flexible with schedules! Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for your pets. In your home, I keep their environment clean, comfortable, and familiar, following any routines or rules you set. I stay attentive to their needs, provide lots of love, and ensure they always feel safe and secure. You can count on me to treat your pets like family!

About: I have been taking care of dogs in many different ways since I was 14 years old. I have dog sat a plethora of breeds for my neighbors, friends and family. I have also been a volunteer at the Miami Dade Animal Shelter for years and have also been a kennel attendant for a local dog trainer helping her with the dogs in her care. I work full time but am available mornings and late afternoons/nights and all day on weekends. I am an active person so having a dog to accompany me on walks and runs is one way I can see to your dogs needs. My home has a fence and having experience with dogs who like to escape I am very cautious with opening doors. I will adhere to any rules given to me by owners of course like crating your dog at night. I have no other dogs in my home so your pet will receive all the care and attention.

About: Dogs have always been part of the family, not just pets. With years of hands-on experience caring for our own dogs, I know how important it is to leave your pup with someone you can trust. I work from home, which means your dog will get my full attention throughout the day—whether it’s playtime, potty breaks, or just relaxing by my side. I offer a calm, safe, and loving environment where your dog will feel comfortable, cared for, and truly at home. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I work from home full-time, so I’m always available to give your dog the attention they need—whether it’s walks, meals, cuddles, or playtime. There’s always someone home, and my husband (who’s just as dog-obsessed as I am) loves spending time with them too. Your pup will be in a calm, loving environment with people who genuinely enjoy having dogs around. Your pet will be welcomed into a calm, clean, and loving home where their comfort and safety come first. I only take a limited number of dogs at a time to make sure each one receives the attention they deserve. I work from home full-time, so pets are never left alone, and I can follow their routine closely, from walks to feeding and playtime. We have an English bulldog named Martin who is extremely gentle, quiet, and well-socialized. He mostly naps during the day and is very respectful around other dogs. He’s used to having furry guests and helps create a peaceful vibe that makes newcomers feel at ease. Whether it’s overnight care or daily walks, I’ll make sure your dog feels right at home: safe, happy, and loved.

Alondra S.
“Alondra (Alo) has an undeniable love for all animals. Not only have they cared for stray animals on the streets, but 2 bunnies and a cat were rescued and are now under the best care possible. Alo is always researching ways to make their lives better by integrating different toys, researching what foods to prepare for them, and correctly monitoring their overall health. For example, many people assume that bunnies are low maintenance when in fact they require lots of stimulation, space and care which Alo had to research and find what works best for the bunnies. This dedication is what sets caregivers apart. Alo has cared for my furry best friend (my cat) while I have gone on vacation and treated him as royalty. I was sent daily videos/ pictures to see how he was doing in addition to very quick responses when I had questions. Additionally, there was a time when I had to leave but my cat had to be put on medication for a week. Of hearing of this news, Alo took the initiative to really sit down with me to understand what the medications he would be getting would do and how to properly administer it to him. My cat is not the easiest to deal with, especially when it comes to people he doesn't see every day, but Alo was able to administer medicine through a syringe which is not easy for him. He warmed up very quickly to Alo and I had no doubt that this would be quick due to Alo's soft and caring personality which the animals respond to. I highly recommend Alo as a caregiver for any furry friend as your animal will not only be watched over, but also loved <3”
