“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 ❤️”
“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!”
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!
“Christina was a wonderful sitter for our shy pup. She was understanding and patient and that helped to put him at ease. He really enjoyed their walks, and we loved the photos of their afternoon together!”
“Allison was amazing! She has a great personality and is extremely skilled in what she does. We were kept updated via videos & pictures and felt extremely happy and at ease knowing they were safe and having fun!”
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!
“So grateful to Ôzlem who is phenomenal, kind, and attentive. She is caring and so flexible to help us when we need her to watch our little Koopa! Will definitely book again!”
“Robin is so great with our westie, she sends cute photo updates and we always come home to a happy pup and a clean home. We would highly recommend Robin! 🐾”
“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! 🐾💙”
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.
“Carol provided my senior dog with love and affection. Engaging Carol's services was simple; Carol and I met face-to-face and introduced Violet. Carol was meticulous in explaining the program and we got along great. I wholeheartedly recommend her service!”
“Neil was amazing! I took a last minute trip for the holidays and he made it stress free not having to worry about my dog. He contacted me every time he stopped by with detailed reports. Would def recommend Neil to others. Thank you Neil!!!!”
“I am so grateful for the amazing care my puppy received! The sitter went above and beyond, keeping me updated with photos and making sure he was happy and well cared for. My puppy is high-energy, and I truly appreciate knowing he was in good hands. It’s such a relief to have someone I can trust. Highly recommend this sitter to anyone looking for reliable and loving care!”
“This was my first time using a dog sitter and Stella made the experience a good one. She’s very attentive and provides occasional updates. She provided me piece of mind and I’d definitely consider booking her in the future.”
“Christina did a great job caring for my two dogs while I was away for a week. One is senior and needed some extra care and the other had some anxiety issues. Christina went above and beyond in making them comfortable, and I felt better knowing that they were safe and well looked after. I would definitely hire her again.”
About: I have worked with animals since I was 14 years old, starting in a cat shelter. I have worked for pet clinics as a vet assistant while also working in animal shelters. Since I was 16 years old, I have been a trusted house-sitter and friend to help make vacations and business trips as stress-free as possible. I have cared for and work with animals with behaviors requiring management, as well as animals needing daily medical care management. I have a dog who can be scared in new environments, as well as a cat who I have had since she was three weeks old. I look forward to being able to help you and your fur-babies! I currently have a very flexible schedule, so tending to your pet’s needs is my priority. I can provide care at multiple points throughout the day! It is of utmost importance to me that your pet’s daily comfort and routine be as undisturbed as possible. I strive to care for your pets the same as I would care for my own pets!
“As always, Vanessa is second to none when taking care of our Doods and our home. She allows us to have a worry free trip every time. The photos and communication she sends daily give us great comfort. She treats our home and dogs as if it were her own. Thanks Vanessa.”
“Chris was an awesome puppy sitter !! He came to our house to watch our dog while we left for the day. He is super sweet and loves dogs, and our puppy loves him. He also literally trained our puppy how to lay down in just one visit !! When i came home i tried it and she knew the command. He sent us the cutest photos of our pup and continued strong communication / updates while we were gone!!”
“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!
