“We had Vanessa come back to take care of our two dogs - one of whom is older and has medication needs - and she was amazing - again! What I appreciate the most is how communicative she is, letting us know what goes on every day, complete with photos. I highly recommend Vanessa to take good care of your fur babies!”


“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!”


“I have never used Rover and needed a sitter in a pinch. So happy that we found Stella. She was amazing. She took great care of my pets and home. She was in constant contact and sent daily updates. I definitely highly recommend her.”


“Catherine Z is truly an exceptional pet sitter! She took amazing care of my two French Bulldogs, giving them plenty of playtime and attention. It was clear they adored her, and I loved knowing they were in such good hands. Catherine kept me updated throughout, sending adorable pictures and videos that reassured me they were happy and well cared for. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and communicative, I highly recommend her!”


“Dawn is the best! I had some last minute travel changes and she was able to accommodate them! When my flight was delayed she even came back to give the kitties food! Dawn is so thoughtful and reliable. Thank you Dawn!”


“Marta is absolutely wonderful! She took the time to get to know our routine and meet our two pups before taking care of them. She was excellent with managing their schedule, cooking their food and taking care of them and our home while we were away. She has a gentle demeanor that our dogs loved. Highly recommend!”


“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Christina and the care she gave our dog during our 4-night trip. Leaving our pup is never easy—he's such a huge part of our lives—but from the moment we met Christina, we felt completely at ease. It was clear right away that she genuinely cares about animals. Every morning and evening, she sent us sweet photo updates that instantly brought smiles to our faces and eased any worries we had. We could tell our dog felt comfortable, loved, and safe—and that meant everything to us. It’s such a gift to find someone you can fully trust with your pet, and Christina is that person. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog and a home that was just as we left it. We're so grateful for her care and can’t imagine using anyone else in the future. Highly, highly recommend! Thanks Christina!”


“Romana was awesome. She took care of my two babies for a whole week. Sitting in our house and it couldn’t have gone better. She had infinite patience with our Yorky, Mochi, which isn’t too friendly and poor Romana endured more than 3 whole days of barking until she convinced him she was a friend and was just taking care of him. It was a really nice ending. All friends. She walked them several times a day and even made them eat better than they do when I feed them! They were happy when I got back and that meant the world to me. Thanks, Romana ? I’ll definitely will call her back again next time we travel!”



“Jackie has come to the rescue for myself and husband while vacationing in Lauderdale. We have our small 14 year old Maltese with us, and had no choice but to take him with us. He doesn’t do well at boarding facilities. I decided to get a dog sitter with the hopes of finding someone asap that not only takes good care of my dog, but is friendly with myself and husband too. It’s hard to trust good people. Jackie is wonderful and accommodating to the times we need. Will use her again in the future when I’m back in Lauderdale. Highly recommend!”


About: Hi, I’m Kennedy! I’ve cared for pets in all kinds of homes, from cozy cabins in Montana to sunny apartments here in Florida. Over the years, I’ve fostered dogs of all ages and personalities, from bouncy puppies to gentle seniors, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of needs and temperaments. I treat every pet like they’re my own, giving them plenty of love, attention, and care while keeping their routines consistent. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or just hanging out together, I’m here to make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I’m also experienced with house sitting, so you can trust that your home will be looked after just as carefully as your pets. If you’re looking for a reliable sitter who will treat your pets like family, I’d love to connect! Pet care is part of my everyday life, I’ve fostered for years, so caring for animals is second nature to me. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to give pets regular walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. Whether it’s morning cuddles, midday walks, or evening wind-downs, I make sure each pet feels loved and cared for. I keep pets safe, happy, and comfortable by following their usual routines and giving them plenty of love and attention. In your home, I respect your space and keep doors and gates secure. In my home, I provide a cozy spot, fresh water, and a safe environment free from hazards. You’ll always get updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands.

“Robin is fabulous. She sent pictures daily and took very good care of my special needs dog. It felt to not worry about my baby while I was on vacation.”


“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: Dogs aren’t just pets to me, they’re family! With 17 years of experience as a devoted dog owner (three amazing pups over the years), I know the love, care, and attention our furry friends deserve. Whether it’s a playful walk, belly rubs, or just some good old-fashioned companionship, I’m here to treat your pup like my own. I can’t pass a dog without stopping to say hello, so trust me—your pup will get all the love and affection they could ask for!" I have a full time role with a lot of flexibility as its mostly remote to provide love and care for furry friends. Care can range from dog walks or sitting them at your home. I provide loving, attentive care in your home, ensuring your pet stays comfortable in their familiar environment. I stick to their routine, offering walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of affection. Whether it's belly rubs, exercise, or companionship, I treat every pet like my own!

“This is the third time Adrienne has watched our dogs and every time is a great experience. Our dogs love her and it’s gives us peace of mind that our dogs are taken care of while we are away. 10/10 would recommend.”


“My Ollie takes a while to warm to new people but Cory did it fast with his calm, kind and confident persona. Cory has walked Ollie a few times and stayed over in my house with him, and everything went great. I appreciate that!!”


“From the second the dogs met Julia they were HOOKED and I just knew I was leaving them in the most loving caring and capable hands. She sent daily updates and I was FLOORED to come home and see all my plants were still alive too! (Only because they’re really finicky and I have a hard enough time keeping them alive and thriving!) and coming home after a long week to see that my house is as comfy and cozy as I need it to be after traveling all day was such a relief. If she’s available BOOK HER you’ll feel so lucky you did!!”


“I have not left my dog with anyone before using Caroline and was very nervous as he is the most important thing in my life. Caroline not only saved his life from a loose dog attack but took amazing care of Walter. I was only gone for a few days but got constant updates and photos of my little dude. I will be using Caroline exclusively if possible and could not recommend her more highly”


“Our dog got comfortable with him instantly! She is very shy with strangers but not with him! He gave us updates through our vacation so we were always informed. Would definitely use Sean again! :)”


“We had such a wonderful vacation with all our family after a brutal year and a half apart due to the pandemic. Thanks to Laura, we never worried about our home or our dogs. She let us know every day that all was well.”
