“Tatyana was amazing with my boys. Showed them lots of love and took lots of pics while I was gone. She went above and beyond. I will definitely use her again in the future!! Michelle smith”


“Jackson has been great with taking care of my puppy during the day and my other older dog! He is very nice, reliable, and detailed with his visit summaries”


“She was great. Even called out my baby’s bumps she has all over and wanted to make sure that was normal. What Melissa didn’t know is we had two other dog walkers that day and neither of the other two walkers mentioned a thing about it. I would definitely rebook Melissa again.”


“My animals were all happy and well taken care of, including my diabetic cat who this was my first time leaving her with a pet sitter. My skittish tomcat was even peeking out but the end of the week.”


“Emily was wonderful. I could tell my pets were not stressed out or crossing their legs when I came home because they had plenty of time to go outside and have a break. Emily was very accommodating on short notice and I cannot thank her enough. I would not hesitate to recommend her and will be using her again”


“Jackie was an awesome drop in dog sitter and sweet!! She visited on schedule, gave all the updates including pictures extra comments! Thank you for taking care of our special family member!!”

“Linda was fantastic. Such a lovely person and so reliable and trustworthy. Our cats were so well taken care of. It was reassuring to receive pictures too. Wouldn't hesitate to have Linda for next time we're out of town.”


About: I have over 21 years of experience taking care of my dogs and cat. I found my cat on my Dad's farm over 16 years ago as a kitten. There were 3 kittens total. The Mama cat was hit by a car unfortunately :-( so I bottle fed all 3 kittens until they were old enough to drink on their own. I definitely have a soft spot for all animals. My dog and cat are both spoiled, and I would love an opportunity to help you out with your dog or cat! I work another job, but do have lots of availability still. I love animals and would love an opportunity to take care of your fur child. My dog gets long walks every day as well as going to the dog run where I'm staying at. I love to walk and would love to walk your dog for you!

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life—and my heart! I currently share my home with two fun-loving pups and four quirky cats. Our fenced-in yard is perfect for safe playtime, and thanks to our handy doggie and kitty doors, the crew can come and go as they please between the house, lanai, and yard. Even my outdoor kitty joins in the fun—she loves tagging along on evening walks with the pups (yes, she’s basically one of the dogs!). She lives on the front stoop like a little porch queen, but I’ve made sure she has a cozy house to snuggle into. When storms roll in, she may not love being brought onto the lanai, but I make sure she’s safe, dry, and loved until the sun comes back out. Caring for pets is second nature to me, and I’d love to give your furry family members the same kind of love, attention, and cozy comfort while you're away! I'm retired, which means I have plenty of time, flexibility, and love to give! Caring for animals is a natural part of my daily life—I spend my days surrounded by my own pets, and I’m always happy to welcome more furry friends into the mix. Whether you’re heading out of town or just need a helping hand, I’m here to provide dependable care and lots of affection whenever your pets need it most. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, my goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and right at home. In my house, pets enjoy a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play, access to the indoors and lanai through pet doors, and plenty of cozy spots to relax. I'm home throughout the day, so they get lots of attention, affection, and supervision. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely—mealtimes, walks, play, medication if needed, and of course, plenty of snuggles. I treat each pet like one of my own and make sure they feel calm, happy, and cared for while you're away.

About: I’ve been watching pets since I was younger, Always had a love for pets since I was a child and am very good with puppies! Working in making this my full time job so I will have all day dedicated to playing and caring for your pets! I am open on weekends also! I will care for your pets just as you do! I will come to your home and treat them with great love and care !

“Matt was awesome! The pups loved him and we will definitely use him again. Very professional and caring. Great picture updates from each visit!!”


“remarkable sitter. Takes great care of our two 100+ lbs boys. Never are worried when we leave them in his care.”


“Calida was a very sweet person who did drop in visits for my cat. While my cat was being shy and NOT friendly, Calida did manage to snap a few pictures for me, lol. I had never met Calida and her hubby prior, but I felt very comfortable allowing them into my home while I was away. I would definitely use them again.”


“Sherry is so kind and wonderful to my pups. I have a very busy schedule that fluctuates tremendously so when I need a last minute visit, she’s very accommodating. I have 4 pups who have meds and are somewhat on the special needs side and not only is Sherry trustworthy, but she also confirms with me if there is a slight difference with instructions to ensure she gets it correct. I highly recommend her to watch your pups!! You won’t be disappointed :)”


About: I grew up with dogs (Boxer, Beagle, Golden Retriever, Min Pin, Havanese) since I was born and raised 3 of my own. I LOVE all animals as well as my family. I introduced this love to my daughter 11 years ago when she was 9 & together, we take care of numerous pets in and around our neighborhood. She's in college now, but always enjoys caring for any animal we provide pet services to when she’s at home. I appreciate you in advance for trusting me and my family to take care for your pet(s) whenever given the opportunity. I've personally never known what it's like to not take care for an animal until recently when we lost our 12 1/2 year old Havanese, Pepper, to congestive heart failure . We miss our Pepper so have a lot of love to give to any pet(s). We'll do our best to treat them just like you would. Our goal is to make them feel like at home. If that's the service you're wanting for your fur baby/babies - look no further! Book a meet and greet as well as text me any questions you have. We take care of animals for family, friends, & around our neighborhood. My schedule is flexible & I'm available most mornings, afternoons, & early evenings. Our goal is to care for them just like you do, giving you the peace of mind knowing that they or them are in kind, loving, trustworthy, reliable hands. I have a fenced in backyard and care for any animal around the clock. When housing animals, I do ask that animals do not jump up on the furniture on their own free will. We prefer that they are trained to come up when asked or picked up. We have leather couches and will provide blankets as needed to accommodate them. Our Pepper, had congestive heart failure and was on medication and a special diet, so giving medicines and whatever is required for them during their stay is doable. We usually walk dogs 3x a day, as weather permits, and for the length of time you let me know is comfortable for them. We live in a cul-de-sac, so for many it's just a nice walk around the block for 10-15 minutes. Your fur baby will get plenty of exercise and enjoy the outdoors. Thanks again and hope to see you and your fur babies real soon.

About: I’ve owned and taken care of dogs for 25 years. I have cared for them through all life stages puppies and senior. I am comfortable with shy and skittish dogs as well. You will never have to wonder if your babies are being loved and cared for with me. I work full time from home my job allows me to come and go as I please and to work from anywhere. So I am pretty flexible with accommodating the needs of pets. Your pets safety is my number one concern. Before I watch them I will make sure to go over how you would like them taken out of for potty breaks, if they need to be crated, any medication etc;

About: Hi! My name is Samantha and I have had and have taken care of dogs my whole life. I haven’t known life without having dogs around, growing up my family had 5 dogs, ranging from puppies to senior pups, big dogs to mall ones. I have the ability to walk, feed, play, bathe, and give medicine if needed to dogs of all ages on top of providing loving care. I am absolutely available for drop in visits, as well as walks and would be in communication with you, to check in and send pictures to make sure you know your pet is being loved and cared for! I love all sorts of animals and at the end of the day they are family, and I will show them so much love! I have a lot of flexibility and am able to do check ins throughout the day as well as in the evening if needed. Overnight stays at my house also work as I am most days during the night time. I have a fenced in front area and one dog to keep your dog company. I also have a crate and a separate room to keep your dog in if needed!

“Linnea was great! We were gone for two weeks and I could always count on her being at our house at a specific time to look after our two cats. She took excellent care of them. I previously used another sitter from this site and when I would come home one of our cats (who is very loving but also extremely high strung) would be all wound up and "hyper". This time when we came home she was calm and relaxed and ready to snuggle. I will definitely be using Linnea again. She has become my number one choice.”
