“Once again using Dawn because she is the best! So reliable and the kitties love her. Very dependable and communicative. I will be back using her again I am sure!”
“Christina was wonderful! It’s always a worry leaving your dog and home in someone else’s care but Christina made my trip stress free with great communication and lots of photos. Her love of animals and respect for my home was evident from the first meet and greet and I could tell by the questions she asked that she genuinely cares about making sure both your dog and home are well cared for. It’s such a relief to find such a special person - I will definitely use again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs & cats of all kinds ever since I started babysitting kids. From walking to overnights, I enjoy hanging out with your fur babies very much and would love to help you with any pet needs! I’m currently working full time, M-F 9-5pm. I am available for early morning or nighttime walks during the week or any needs on the weekends. Open to overnights at pet owners home! I have a fenced in dog area at my apartment as well as many nearby parks and safe sidewalks in my neighborhood. Any sittings at your home will be treated with respect and care!
“Payal was absolutely fantastic with our little Ollie. He is very nervous and she made him comfortable and happy. She sent many pictures and videos and made us feel very comfortable being away. We will definitely use her next time we need a dog sitter. It’s very obvious that she loves dogs ❤️”
“Robin is a lovely person! She is very thorough - asked me about medications, restrictions, food etc for my dog. Robin arrived on time and my anxious pup was immediately at ease with her. I would highly recommend Robin to take care of your pet!”
“Thanks again for taking care of my babies while I was gone! I trust you completely, and it’s such a great feeling knowing I don’t have to worry when they’re with you. You’re amazing — such a good soul and beautiful inside and out. ❤️”
“Got it 😄 here’s a short, playful, 5-star version: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Claire was amazing with our Mylo! She followed all of his daddies’ very specific (ok… slightly neurotic 😅) instructions perfectly and kept us smiling with great photos and updates. Mylo was clearly happy, relaxed, and totally loved. We would book Claire again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend! 🐾💙”
“Stella was phenomenal. I needed her last minute and she was available! Came over to meet the dogs, then was on time and hanging out with them the entire time I needed her there. Sent pictures, was very responsive, and left the house in perfect condition. I will definitely use her again. Thanks again!”
About: Lifelong dog lover and current med student here! Raised alongside a Cockapoo and a Goldendoodle since I was six, I’ve spent nearly my whole life caring for pups. My medical training makes me exceptionally detail-oriented, reliable, and calm under pressure, while my inner kid just wants to provide the same love and attention I give my own family dogs. I’m a med student taking a gap year to study for my Step 1 exam. Since I study from home nearly 24/7, your pup will have constant companionship, a quiet environment, and endless study-break cuddles!. I’ve raised and loved a Cockapoo and a Goldendoodle since I was six years old, so dog care is second nature to me. Living right in Las Olas, I offer a premium, ultra-reliable, and highly attentive environment. My medical background means your pet is in the safest, most responsible hands possible!
“Özlem did us a huge favor after we had someone cancel to watch little Koopa. They had a blast and he loved having her over and taking care of him! Thank you for sharing pictures and your time with our Koopa. We so appreciate you! Will definitely book with Özlem again!”
“Vanessa was great once again! She is extremely communicative and took great care of my two cats while I was away. She sends tons of updates which are very appreciated! I completely recommend her and will continue to book her in the future!”
“Kelly was great! 😊 She stayed at our apartment while caring for our two girls, and everything went smoothly. The girls were happy, well cared for, and comfortable when we got back. She kept us updated, was easy to communicate with, and took great care of both the pups and our home. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! 🐾💕”
“Charlene was wonderful with our animals and sent plenty of pictures and updates during her stay. She was quick to reply to my messages, offered to meet up a couple times before the stay to make sure all the animals were comfortable with her, and she made sure our house was cleaned up before we got home, as if we had never left! I will definitely recommend Charlene for anyone who needs a pet sitter!”
About: Growing up in California with close friends having dogs and cats taught me early on, that pets are family. Over the past five years, I've also helped care for a high-energy Doberman, giving me hands-on experience with both gentle companions and active, intelligent breeds. I understand the importance of trust, consistency, exercise, and affection in helping pets feel safe and happy. Whether it's a walk, drop-in visit, or extended care, I'll treat your dog with the same love, attention, and reliability I'd want for my own. I have a flexible schedule and am available seven days a week, including weekdays, weekends, and most holidays. Whether you need regular walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or last-minute assistance, I strive to accommodate your pet care needs. I understand that schedules can change unexpectedly, and I pride myself on being dependable, responsive, and committed to providing consistent, loving care whenever your pets need it. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, administer medications if needed, and ensure pets receive appropriate exercise, playtime, and attention. I also keep the home tidy, provide regular updates and photos, and remain attentive to any changes in behavior or health. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care so both pets and owners have peace of mind while they're away.
“First time using Chris to house sit our two dogs and he was great. Very communicative and responsive, asked good questions and was well prepared. He also greatly loved on our pups and they loved him. We will def use him again!”
“I was looking for someone to not only look after my dog, but my two pet lizards also. People want to take care of dogs but not non-for pets. It was difficult to leave my babies for a week.Mafalda went above and beyond. She loves on her babies like you would want them to. I received photos and videos every day, letting me know my babies were happy. Each pet got love and attention, which means the world to me.I am so thankful to have found her.”
About: Hi! I’m based in Flagler Village and have a super flexible schedule while I finish my MBA online. I’ve grown up with dogs and love being around them! I’m a very active runner and would love to take your pup on walks, runs, or just hang out and give them lots of attention. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and will treat your dog like my own while sending regular photo and video updates so you always feel at ease 😊 I love being active and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so your pup will get plenty of exercise, attention, and care throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, runs, playtime, or just keeping them company, I have the time and energy to make sure they’re happy and well taken care of. I live in a condo on the first floor and can provide multiple daily walks, runs, or visits to the dog park if you’d like.
“Mei was fantastic. She really listened to all of my feeding, walking, and medication instructions for my 11 year old dog. She kept my home very clean and is a very responsible young adult. Highly recommend her.”

Kelly was great! 😊 She stayed at our apartment while caring for our two girls, and everything went smoothly. The girls were happy, well cared for, and comfortable when we got back. She kept us updated, was easy to communicate with, and took great care of both the pups and our home. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! 🐾💕
Highly recommend! Ozlem did a great job caring for our senior dog, who can be challenging at times and has a fairly specific routine. She was responsible, responsive, and communicative throughout the stay. She made sure he received all of his medications and was very understanding of the setup and accommodations we have in place for him. It gave us peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. We would absolutely book with her again.
Sarah was amazing and I highly recommend her! I have a senior dog, and she took care of her with so much patience, love, and attention. She made sure all of her medications were given on time and kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me great peace of mind. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after and treats them like her own. I would absolutely trust Sarah with my dog again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. 🐾💕
5 Stars / Highly Recommend! I cannot say enough great things about Christina! She looked after my dog Ace and went above and beyond to make sure he was happy, comfortable, and well-exercised. Her communication is fantastic, and I loved getting updates with photos. She is incredibly trustworthy and truly loves animals. FTL pet parents, look no further! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Sean was great to work with. He was willing to come by for two visits before my trip to get to know my dogs. During his stay he kept me up to date daily without having to be prompted. I especially appreciated the comprehensive updates, detailing how the dogs were doing as well as how they were bonding with him.
Dawn was excellent with our 2 older pups! She spent time getting to know both of them before staying over, and was patient and caring. She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the weekend. She took great care of ours dogs and our home. We would highly recommend Dawn!
I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. Yasmine is incredibly loving, attentive, respectful, and responsible. Toby (my dog) absolutely adored her because of how caring and affectionate she was with him. She even bought him toys, and they spent so much time together throughout the day. She also constantly sent me photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind and made me feel reassured that Toby was happy and well taken care of at all times. I highly recommend Yasmine with complete confidence to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely caring to look after their pets.
Can’t recommend Robin enough! My husband and I left town for the first time without our 1-year-old dog Ollie and knowing she was caring for him was such a huge comfort. She was super responsive and sent regular pictures throughout the weekend, and Ollie clearly loved having her here. Thank you for everything!
