Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Sailboat Bend, Fort Lauderdale, FL

“I have just had by far my best experience with Rover. I had a last minute trip and Marianne went above and beyond in caring for my kitties. She is amazing. I had absolutely nothing to worry about while I was gone. She didnt cut any corners and gave very thorough updates throughout the time I was gone. When I came home the kitties were stress free too, I could really tell she spent time putting them at ease. I'd give her 10 stars if I could.”

“Krystal is the best! She always gets the cutest photos of my cat Zuko to send to me. Leaving my cat to go on trips can be hard but I’m comforted knowing Krystal is checking up on him!”

“Heather is absolutely attentive, professional and reliable. She has a way with my dog. It must be because she has so much dog experience, is so caring, and has a background in healthcare. I know I can rely on her. She sends the best videos and pictures. I hope we continue to work together for a long time!”

“Alyssa has been amazing with our one year old German Shepherd. He’s very sensitive and needs some patience, TLC, and understanding. Alyssa has a calming energy matched with leadership and good animal intuition that our GSD has responded remarkably quickly to. Alyssa came over for a meet n greet - took the time to learn his quirks, training, and personality then came over again for a one on one walk. Our GSD runs away, barks, and hides when new people try to clip his leash but she sent a pic twenty minutes later on a walk with him. We were not only impressed with her care, demeanor, and skill but also extremely grateful/relieved to have found a sitter like Alyssa. Highly recommend her for all dog sitting needs and breeds!”

“Jessica accepted a last minute request to check in on my cat daily over the holiday weekend. Leaving your pet is incredibly stressful, but I definitely felt at ease knowing she was there to check in on him. She was great at communicating. Thanks again for coming through on such short notice!”

Kaitlyn H.

“Dawn is a wonderful cat sitter! Dawn is very responsive, dependable, and took the time needed to learn how to best interact with my cat, Daisy! Her great cat reports and pictures helped make my vacation worry-free! Great experience!”

George G.

“Robin did a fantastic job! She kept our cats happy and well cared for while we were away. She's reliable, responsive, and stays connected with lots of updates, which gave us real peace of mind. On top of that, she went above and beyond by helping with a leaking A/C issue—something we truly appreciated. Highly recommend Robin for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”

Kristina D.

“This is by far been hands-down the best Rover experience and it is because of her incredible care and camaraderie with my dog. She was so happy to become best friends with him and he loves her.”

About: Basic rules for training puppies to socialize and interact with other dogs, and caring for and protecting older dogs when feeding, care and walking them. Because I have a flexible work schedule, I can care for your pet from Monday to Sunday, starting at 8 a.m. at the times that are most convenient for you, until 7 p.m. For the service I offer, I make sure that your pet has the necessary safety measures so that my work can be carried out with confidence, avoiding stress in the pet and that it has a fun and safe walk.

“Claudia was able to step in and help us out when our pet sitter just left our dog in our apartment when we were abroad. She was able to come in on the moments notice to make sure our pup was okay and provided us with lots of photos and updates to make sure we knew she was okay. Claudia is very comfortable with dogs and made us feel at ease knowing that our baby was taken cared of.”

About: I’ve always been an animal lover. I raised two dogs from puppyhood. Lucy lived to 18, and my current pup, Porscha, is now 14. I also have a 15 year old cat, AppleJack, I’ve had since she was a kitten. So I know what it’s like to care for pets at every stage of life, from playful zoomies to slower senior strolls. I started pet sitting because I wasn’t looking to commit to another full time pet, but I still wanted to spend my days caring for animals and helping fellow pet parents. Whether it’s a quick walk, overnight stay, or just some company while you’re away, I’m here to give your pet the love and attention they deserve. I’m especially great with: Puppies and senior pets Shy or anxious animals Keeping routines and providing lots of updates (with cute pics!) At Playful Paws, your pet will feel safe, loved, and totally at home. I work fully remote, and so does my husband, which gives us the flexibility to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a morning walk, a midday check-in, or some evening cuddles, we’re usually home and available to help. Being remote means your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and we can easily adjust to their routine. Weekdays, weekends, we’re here to keep tails wagging and whiskers happy. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m visiting them in your home, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every pet like they’re my own, with patience, love, and respect for their routine. At home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with cozy spaces, a clean setting, and plenty of playtime. My husband and I both work remotely, so someone’s almost always home for companionship and supervision. In your home, I’m mindful of your space and your pet’s habits. I follow instructions closely, whether that’s meal times, meds, or favorite toys, and I always keep things tidy and secure. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your fur baby is in caring, capable hands.
