“Christopher was absolutely amazing with Ella! He was very communicative, followed our requests, and was able to work with our dog's reactiveness and hesitation. I highly recommend Christopher for any pet-sitting needs and will definitely be using him again in the future.”
“Misty came by for a third meet and greet with Mia and we went over feeding instructions and the walking route for her morning post breakfast walk. Mia recognized Misty and was wagging her tail. Misty was good with Mia and there were no problems walking, or coming in the house. Misty was on time, even for early morning visit which was appreciated. Thanks!”
“Jamie was wonderful! My trip away was less stressful knowing that my three very spoiled kitties were being well cared for. She sent photos each visit and was easily reachable with texts. I will definitely be asking her to watch the kitty crew again!”

“Our little Sophie girl got so excited to see Jacquelyne at our meet and greet it was a no brainer. She has treated Sophie as her own.

About: I’ve been volunteering at animal rehab facilities since I was 10 and I’ve worked my way up to wildlife internships in the amazon rainforest just last year, so I have plenty of experience with animals from household pets to less common exotics ! Household pets I have most experience in are Cats, Dogs, Small mammals and Reptiles and I’m well educated in proper cleaning, meal preparation and grooming. I have a heart for animals and i can’t wait to meet yours! 😊🐶 I’m currently managing a temporary health setback and seem to have a lot of time on my hands! I’m available 9 am - 12a during the week and weekends is full availability to keep your pet safe and entertained. I have a fenced in yard and screened porch and I only let my cat roam leashed under close supervision so that he doesn’t get into anything and I didn’t notice. I Always ask what the owner is comfortable with whether it’s crating or going on walks around the yard prior but I also understand some pets need more attention than others and that’s okay! I never have anything toxic in reach and keep my house stocked with plenty of toys and treats to keep your pet happy and healthy.

“We highly recommend Denise for animal care. At our "meet and greet" prior to vacation we could tell immediately that Denise is a competent, intelligent animal lover. While away on vacation, Denise visited several times per day to care for our animals and gave us daily photos and updates on their well being. Denise happily did more than what was expected of her. We would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone seeking animal care and thank her so much for doing such a great job!”
About: I have volunteered at my local animal shelter for over a year now and have experience in multiple aspects of animal care.

I recently moved to Florida and am currently looking for new clients! I have an open schedule and would love to help care for all of your pets.

About: Hi there, my name is Haley and I volunteer at a local shelter in Tallahassee and have grown up around animals my whole life (my father is a veterinarian). At home, I have three amazing dogs big and small and a kitty! If you allow me the opportunity to take your baby on a walk, I promise they will get tons of pets, love, and exercise in to keep them happy and healthy :) I walk dogs full time so I am available Monday-Friday and on most weekends upon request. I am also super organized and follow a consistent routine so if your pup needs a regular walker we would be a great match! If I am your dog walker I want you and your dog to feel safe under my care! I can send you photo updates of your pup anytime, will always have my ringer on during all times on walks and will make sure to approve any treats with you first before giving them to your dog! Your privacy is also very important to me and I can meet you anywhere you feel comfortable and can also offer your pup transportation to any cool park you think we should check out.

brooklynn l.
“I've known Brooklynn for many years; she lived beside us as neighbours for a while before her family moved. She is a very sweet and articulate young lady, and she has always had a passion for animals for as long as I can remember. I would say that she is gifted in that area. She was the first person that we thought of when we needed someone to look after our dog, Barry, whenever we had to go on vacation. Not only did she care for him, but she stayed in our home while we were on vacation, as Barry does not like to be in other people's homes long term. He wants his own bed and his own things. I would highly recommend Brooklynn as a pet sitter.”

She's not only knowledgeable and responsible, but also wonderfully dependable—qualities that shine through in everything she does. Whether it’s caring for our dogs with patience and affection, or managing our farm with seamless efficiency, Katie handles it all with grace. From coordinating feeding schedules, bathroom breaks and time for the dogs to run around to ensuring our horses, chickens and ducks are well looked after, she brings a calm confidence that immediately puts us at ease. Her communication is clear, timely, and thoughtful—always keeping us updated and informed, which we truly appreciate. With Katie in charge, we know our animals are in the best possible hands.”

“Nickie has came over multiple times to watch my animals. I have a 5 yr old German shepherd male, (at that time an 11 yr old Dutch shepherd), and a 3 yr old German shepherd/ malinois. The other animals she took care of were my daughter’s bearded dragon, 6 chickens, and one duck. She was always there. Very caring of their needs and would even stay longer than she could have. I recommend her full heartedly.”
Haley T.
“We can't think of anyone better to care for our dog, Sadie, than Haley. She's been pet sitting for us for about four years now. She is extremely trustworthy and goes above and beyond with pet care. She is very thoughtful and frequently checks in with texts and photos of our dog while we are away. When we return, Sadie is always happy, brushed, walked and well loved. Haley even makes sure the floors are swept and everything is tidy. She is a someone who can be trusted 100% with your pet and in your home.”
