“Alyssa is amazing! She’s great with communication, set me lots of updates and pictures, and my dog absolutely loved her! Will definitely be rebooking!”
“Kimmeth is the absolute best! She takes such good care of both my cat and dog! She is so reliable, I don’t ever worry that she won’t show up!!! Being a nurse, I work sometimes 14 hours, so knowing that Kimmeth will be there for my future babies really takes the stress of leaving all day away!!! I HIGHLY recommend Kimmeth!!!”

I am committed to taking care of all types of dogs of all ages. I currently have some weeks off of clinical rotations so I am home most of the time. Afterwards I will be gone about 2x a week. I live in an apartment, but I take my dogs out on regular walks every few hours. I do not crate train my dogs and they are allowed to go on furniture.

“I greatly appreciated that Krystal was available to take care of Pierre on such short notice! The pictures she took were great. I think he enjoyed the walk with Krystal! I enjoyed the communications from Krystal keeping me updated. I recommend Krystal to other pet owners. She did a terrific job.”
About: Hi! As a young kid I used to take my neighbors dog for walks and clean up after him. I got my beloved calico cat at age 12 took care of her while I lived at home. For the past six years I have often taken care of my best friend’s dog (my dog nephew). I watch him while she and her family are on vacation, and recently have tried to take him on near daily walks. I work remotely from home, and my schedule is flexible so I have time throughout the day to schedule pet care appointments during work breaks. I have a flexible schedule, and a vehicle to get myself to the location to provide pet care throughout the day. I love animals and am excited to meet your pet!
About: Hi! I’m a proud dog mom to two lovable Frenchies—a sweet senior and a playful goofball—who’ve taught me patience, care, and how every pup has their own vibe. I’ve been the go-to sitter for friends and family for years, helping with walks, feedings, playtime, and cuddles. I don’t offer boarding, but I happily care for pets in their own home, where they feel most safe and relaxed. With a flexible schedule, I’m available for drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays in your home to keep your pet happy, comfy, and cared for. From quick visits to longer stays, I’ll follow their routine, offer companionship, and make sure they get all the love and attention they deserve while you’re away. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel most at ease. I follow their usual routine—walks, meals, playtime, or just being a calm presence—so they stay comfortable while you’re away. I’m mindful of your space and focused on making sure your pet feels safe, content, and cared for the entire time.
About: I've had animals all through my life, trained veterinary assistant and worked in the field for many years. Recently moved to Florida and would love to help others. Currently not working so have plenty of time to help care for your pet(s). Very flexible schedule to for yours. Please reach out work any questions. I have a fenced in yard and also take my dogs for walks. I tend to just leave my door open so they can go in and out whenever they choose until bedtime. I would care for your pet the exact way you choose and prefer.
About: Like a lot of people, I’ve had dogs my whole life. Pomeranians, Rottweilers, Golden Retrievers, Cane Corsos and now I have my English Bulldog, Puck, who is my whole world. I know what it’s like to feel nervous about my dog being taken care of by someone new, and I never want anyone to feel that way when they book with me! I’m a student, so I’m available during hours many people usually work. I’m also very free on weekends, so if you take a quick trip I can stop by. I always do what the pet parent asks. If your dog likes walks short or long, I can do that. I will make sure everything you want and need is taken care of regarding your furry friend, and if there’s any special requests just let me know when booking!
About: I enjoy taking care of your pets just as much as I do mine, I will ensure a friendly and work safe environment for your fur babies. I currently have two pit bulls and our favorite thing to do is go for car rides and watch the sunsets! I currently can only offer drop in visits and dog walking. Overall, I’m more than excited to meet and care for your precious fur babies and spoil them! I am currently working mostly day shifts, other than that my schedule is very flexible, I work for myself cleaning houses in Broward county ! I take care of anyone else’s dog as I would mine. I ensure a safe friendly and approachable environment. I may first let the dogs out then make sure they have food and water, and go back outside to play and let them go to the bathroom again before going back inside and I love to take lots of pictures!
About: Throughout my entire life, I’ve surrounded myself with animals. We’ve always had pets in my family, and I’ve even gone to zoo and/or horse camp to learn more about animals. I am also the person my family/ family friends will call on if they need someone to watch their pets. That being said I’ve raised dogs of various sizes, cats, a rabbit, and even baby raccoons!! I have a little history in self-training puppies, as well as administering medication to my own or other’s pets. I’m currently finishing my degree with online classes, so I have plenty of time for pet care in my schedule. I have certain days marked off on my appointment calendar so I have time to complete assignments, so that when I’m with your pet, they’ll be my first priority! On the days that I’m working, I’ll be available until 6 PM, unless I’m pet sitting. Of course, I would care for your pets on my own (no bringing along my fur babies)! Any feeding/medication/exercise schedules will be followed per client. If overnight care is necessary, I will be available as well.

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Caitlin — she has been an absolute godsend for both me and my dog! She walks Bentley every single day and treats him like her own. From putting ice in his water bowl on hot days to surprising him with extra toys “just because,” she constantly goes above and beyond in every way imaginable. Her communication is outstanding — I get detailed updates after every walk, often with adorable photos and thoughtful notes that show just how much she pays attention to his behavior, mood, and even his little quirks. It’s clear she genuinely loves dogs and takes great pride in what she does. Beyond her incredible care for my dog, she’s just a truly kind, responsible, and thoughtful person. I trust her completely and feel so lucky to have found her. If you're looking for someone who will love your dog as much as you do — and then some — look no further. She’s the best there is!”
