About: I have years of experience caring for dogs of all life stages from playful puppies to gentle seniors. As well as all sizes from small breeds to big pups. Whether your dog needs structured walks, trips to the dog park, careful adherence to a specific feeding schedule or specialized attention like administering medication, I am fully equipped to handle it with care and confidence. For boarding I’m available 7 days a week! Your dog will never be left alone for long stretches. Even though I work a full-time job Monday through Friday (8am-5pm) I live five minutes away from my workplace, which allows me to easily check in on my lunch breaks to manage feeding times and give potty breaks throughout the day. In the evenings and all weekend long I am home full time to hang out, play in the yard with Hazel and cuddle. For daycare I’m available weekends for full daycare.(Note: because of my Monday-Friday work hours, weekday daycare availability is limited but please reach out to see if we can make your schedule work!) I have a true passion for animals; I believe it is my calling in life. I truly love and enjoy taking care of them because they are more than just pets, they are family. I will love and care for your dog just like my own. I know firsthand how stressful it can be to leave your furry friend behind and worry about their safety. Because I understand that anxiety, your peace of mind is my top priority. I promise to keep you updated with lots of pictures, videos and updates throughout the day so you always know they are happy and safe. When your pup stays with me, they will have access to a private, secure, fenced yard for playing and exploring, plus the best company: my sweet miniature dachshund, Hazel, who loves making new friends! Beyond the belly rubs, playtime and socialization, I am deeply committed to maintaining their routine, from strict feeding schedules to plenty of daily exercise. Your dog will truly have a safe, fun and loving home away from home.

“Henry responded to my last minute request and was able to help me walk my dog on weekdays. He’s reliable and my dog built trust with him easily. Definitely recommend!”

About: I am a kind-hearted, energetic, and dependable animal lover with a lifetime of experience caring for pets. I have owned dogs since I was born and grew up with a family cat, giving me experience caring for both dogs and cats. I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and EXXXTRA loved while you're away! I’m currently taking some time off before beginning a new job in mid-September, so I have full availability to give your furry friend the time, love, and attention they deserve. In my free time, I also volunteer at a local animal shelter because I truly love being around animals and caring for pets of all ages and personalities. 3-year experienced Physical Therapist taking time off before beginning a new position mid-September, giving me a very flexible schedule and full availability to care for your pet. Whether it's drop-in visits, walks, or overnight stays, I have plenty of time to provide the attention and love they deserve. Once I begin my new role, I'll still be available all-day Saturdays through Mondays, making long weekends a great time to book with me! I primarily provide care in clients' homes, where your pet or pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment! I will happily take the time to learn your pet's routine and follow it closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication schedule, while providing plenty of love and attention. My goal is to keep your pet/s happy, comfortable, and stress-free while you're away. I'll also keep you updated with way too many photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in great hands!

About: From an early age I began petsitting a variety of dogs in my neighborhood, family, and of friends. From Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Jack Russells, Dachshunds, Beagles, Hounds, Dobermanns, and more I have experience with a range of breeds. I often used to petsit for my neighbors who had five dogs. I also have owned a Rottweiler, Rhodesian Ridgeback and Bichon Frisé. I have always regarded having a connection with animals as an important quality and have never met an animal that didn’t like me! I recently left my position at Florida International University College of Hospitality and I want to lend my services in pet care to my community. I am available fulltime and I am able to provide transparent communication throughout the week. I want to ensure you that your pet is getting the best care possible and you can focus on work, vacation, or whatever reason my services are required. Able to provide frequent walks and top quality care. I don’t have pets of my own and I prefer to house sit but I am able to accommodate boarding at my apartment if preferred with regular walks.

“I feel very at ease having Canela in Estefania’s care. I appreciate her prompt communication, detailed updates, and willingness to go above and beyond. She has a wonderful and kind personality. I’m happy I met her and I’m grateful I have her to support me with Canela in the future.”

About: I know how harrowing it can be, being apart from your pet. But don't worry I'm here to give the same love, care, and attention to your pet. Whether it's cleaning up spilled food or water, toys, or fur around the house or on the furniture or pet presents (poo) as I like to call it. It's all in the name of love! I am here for you, anytime as long as we work out the details in advance. I care for my own personal pet on a daily basis, so I'm very familiar with being up sometimes in the middle of the night or at the break of dawn. I am willing to come to your home and pet sit. Especially for pets who need more attention and lots of care. My cat is 16 with specialized needs.

About: Starting our pet sitting for neighbors at just 11 years old & teaching swim lessons to 5-year olds at 15 years old, and being an Ocean Rescue lifeguard at 17, I take pride in my selfless responsibility to care for and protect others. In college, my roommate’s dogs were treated as if they were my dogs too and genuinely enjoyed taking walks, going to the dog parks, and buying them treats. Most recently I was a personal assistant for a traveling executive, taking care of his personal matters, cars, boat, but most importantly his 6-yr old Goldendoodle Bolt! She stayed in my apartment while he was away, slept in my bed every night, constantly went to the park, and went everywhere with me in the car. I am unable to have a dog of my own at the moment, and pet sitting dogs like Bolt brought me joy every single day. I currently am self-employed with my own hospitality company and therefore usually work from home creating my own hours. As well as bartending a few nights a week on occasion. I live in the heart of Las Olas with the riverfront dog park right next door, the Las Olas riverwalk in my backyard, and a puppy proof apartment. Wherever I go, whether it’s walking downstairs to get breakfast or running errands in the car, I always try to bring the dog with me. I drive a Tesla so you know your pet will always be safe in dog mode.

About: I've been around pets my whole life. I grew up with cats and had a family dog throughout high school, and I've had my own cat for the last five years. Taking care of animals has always just been part of my everyday life. I've also helped friends in my apartment complex by walking and feeding their dogs while they're out of town. I know every pet has its own routine and personality, so I always make sure to follow the owner's instructions and give them the attention they need. I live in Flagler Village in Fort Lauderdale, so I'm nearby and available for local pet care. I'll treat your pet like I would my own and make sure they're well taken care of while you're away. I work from home, so I’m almost always around and able to give your pet attention throughout the day. My schedule allows me to take multiple breaks for feeding, playtime, walks, and check-ins, rather than leaving pets alone for long periods of time. Having my own cat, I understand how important it is for pets to have a consistent routine and someone around who genuinely cares for them. I’m able to provide dependable care while also giving your pet the attention and companionship they need. I understand that every pet and home has its own routine, so I make it a priority to follow the instructions provided by each owner. In a client's home, I will make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive attention and playtime, and are comfortable in their familiar environment. I know cats especially can be sensitive to changes, so I believe keeping their normal routine is important. I’ll take the time to make sure they feel safe and cared for while also keeping owners updated with messages and photos. My goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both the pet and the owner.

About: What sets me apart is the level of personal attention and calm, consistent care I give to each pet. I treat every animal like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved and comfortable in their routine. I am reliable and truly passionate about creating a stress free experience for both vets and their owners. Pet care first perfectly into my daily routine because I am a full time mom ( grown kids) and home full time. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I care for pets by following their routine as closely as possible. Mealtime, walks and play. I take time to learn their personalities and what comforts them.

About: Hi! I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust. I’m committed to following your pet’s normal routine, providing plenty of attention and exercise, and making sure they feel comfortable and secure in my care. I’ll take the time to accommodate individual needs and routines. All the little details are important to me, I’ll keep you updated with photos & messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands! My priority will always be to treat your pet like family and give them the same love, patience and attention I would want and give my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet your pet :) I currently work some part time shifts, but Im primarily a stay at home dog mom🥰, which gives me plenty of flexibility to give your pets the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I’m happy to work with your schedule and will do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs! I live in a safe, pet friendly apartment community with a dog park, and my 1 yr old toy poodle Stella, is very friendly and loves to play with other dogs. If your pup is comfortable around other dogs, they’ll have a little playmate during their stay! And if you prefer care in your home or need pet walking, I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s environment and routine and make them feel as comfortable as possible.

“Laura has been amazing with my puppy! She is so sweet and takes her time walking my puppy. She also gives in depth updates after walks and is extremely attentive😊”

“Jessica was flexible and responsive. I had a short notice request and she was able to accommodate. Jessica was also able to establish an immediate connection with my dog, they had never met. Thank you Jess!”

About: Hi, I’m a lifelong pet lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and cats, too! I’ve been pet sitting for 7 years. I am certified in Cat and Dog First Aid through the American Red Cross, which demonstrates my preparedness to handle pet emergencies. This includes CPR for dogs and cats, wound care, and behavioral signs. I am skilled in administering medications, including insulin. I treat every pet like family. You can expect lots of love, playtime, and dependable care while you’re away! The summer for my industry is slow and pet sitting with rover would be fun and also fill my weekly schedule. For Overnight house sitting, it starts at 6pm and ends at 9am. For Boarding care, I do not have any pets and I have a back yard to play around in! Feel free to request, even if it’s last minute or same day! I treat every pet with respect when I first meet them. I always make sure to read their body language and let them get to know me first. I love to play and give your pet lots of attention. I always make sure to follow their routine. I also give regular updates with photos or videos!

“Had a chance to meet Cherie ahead of her dog walking visit with Teddy. What a wonderful and engaging person that Teddy immediately was drawn to and gave 4 paws up!!!! He was sad when she left!!!”
