We booked Nicole for last-minute drop-in visits for our dogs, and she truly saved us. She was quick to respond, always on time, and so kind with our pups. She sent photos and updates each visit, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Our dogs adored her, and we would happily book with Nicole again.

Caitlin checks all the boxes. She’s so caring, compassionate, detail-oriented, punctual… truly the best pet sitter!! She goes above and beyond, and you can tell she genuinely loves animals. She treated my dog like her own, and when I got home, my dog seemed soooo happy, like she had made a new friend! My dog loves to be loved and give love, and it’s clear Caitlin made a real impact on her! My dog has allergies and Caitlin was able to give medication and massage an anti itch solution into her paws to make sure she was comfy. She did everything I asked for! Even when it came to my dog’s complicated diet haha. Really appreciate everything she did to make us feel at ease!

I was so nervous about using Rover for the first time but Deborah was so nice and understanding. She sent me the cutest pictures and videos of my baby to let me know exactly what was going on everyday. She also went above and beyond and got my mail for me, took beretta for walks, and even cleaned the living room for me to return home. I could not recommend her more to anyone else!!

Yasmine communicated well throughout the stay and contacted me quickly anytime something came up, including when one of my dogs had diarrhea. She would even sit with my dog to make sure she ate and to ensure everything was okay. My dogs were happy and comfortable with her, and the house was left in great condition. She truly went above and beyond, which I really appreciated.

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!

About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover and currently have a cat of my own. I grew up around lots of dogs through friends and family and have always been very comfortable with them and around different personalities and energy levels. I am also a very active person who loves being outside, going on walks and spending time in nature - having a pet join me is just an added bonus! I’m naturally an early riser and love starting my day outside. Since I work remotely, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time for walks, check-ins, and giving pets attention throughout the day. I think the best care comes from paying attention to each pet’s personality and needs. Every pet is different and I want them to feel safe, happy, and enjoy our time together.

Robin was amazing. My neighbors all said she was wonderful with the pups. I know they are a handful with Cocos persistence and Gizzys loud barking. But she handled hem like a pro. I’ve been busy upon getting back or would have left a 5 star review sooner.

I usually use friends or family to watch my senior husky, but didn't have anyone last minute and so I hired Alyssa. She took care of my Senior Husky and made sure to spend quality time with her during each visit. She's reliable, dependable, and was always on time. Both my husky and I appreciate her for taking good care of my pup while I was away. I will gladly recommend Alyssa!

Rachelle is super sweet and did a great job taking care of my senior pup, Beau. Beau is nearly 17 and has some medical issues, his vision is failing, and he is a no to being alone. It was such a comfort to have Rachelle take care of Beau while I was out for a long meeting. She was flexible with me on the timing of her drop-in visit, which really helped me. I felt very comfortable with her in my home and with my pup. I also like that she asked questions to get to know Beau, to understand his medical issues, and to know what to do if something happens. Even though she has a lot of experience with her own dogs, she wanted to be sure that she understood Beau's needs even for a short drop-in visit, which is great! I will definitely reach out to Rachelle in the future when I need help with Beau.
