“Brittani dog sat at my home for 9 days, and she did an excellent job! My dogs liked her and one of them is a very anxious little chi-pom, but still warmed up to Brittani quickly. Brittani also brought in my packages, and took great care of the house. I came home to three very happy pups. They are so much happier staying in their own home. Brittani is now my go-to dog sitter!”


About: Hi! I’m your dog’s new best friend and your go-to sitter for premium, personalized pet care. I live alone in a dog-friendly home and work remotely, so I spend every day side by side with the pups I watch whether that’s going on long walks, playing in the yard, or curling up together after a fun-filled day. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and cared for all types: hyper, lazy, social, shy, quirky, even a few trouble makers! From high energy fetch to nap loving couch potatoes, I’ve learned that patience is everything. And that’s something I have in abundance. Over the years, I’ve volunteered at shelters, helped with rescues, and been the go-to pet sitter for countless friends and family. I’m also a big believer in active, enriching care expect your pup to get their steps in with me! If they love running, we’ll hit the pavement. If they love sniffy walks and belly rubs, we’ve got that covered too. Since leaving for college, these have been the only years of my life without a dog under my roof and I miss that connection more than anything. That’s why every pet I care for gets treated like my own: with structure, affection, and non-stop attention. Whether you're heading out for a few hours or a few days, you can relax knowing your dog is loved, safe, and having a tail wagging good time. Please contact for more information. I am a full time pet sitter and have full time availability + 24/7 supervision any day of the week! Can also do over nigh stays per request. In My Home: I live alone, work from a dog-safe home, and am always present. Dogs are uncrated unless specified. They have cozy rest areas, play zones, and safe indoor/outdoor access. Care is personalized long walks, enrichment games, or quiet time and I adhere to your feeding, medication, and potty schedules, providing consistent updates. In Your Home (Drop-Ins & Walks): I respectfully follow your instructions. Your pet gets my full attention during visits or walks. I refresh food/water, clean accidents, administer meds, and provide detailed updates. Walks prioritize safety (no off-leash unless secure, gear checks). I am warm, reliable, and deeply respect your pet's comfort and your trust.

“Boomer loves Britney!”


About: I'm currently dog mom to a sweet 3-legged Dachshund mix rescue named Penny and have rescued many cats and dogs as pets since I was a child. In my personal pet parent experience, I've cared for a senior dog with cancer, dealt with multiple emergency room vet visits for cats and dogs, nursed back to health a 20 year old Cornish Rex that had an infection-turned-abscess in her mouth, lost another cat to a sudden heart attack, and helped an outdoor pet cat survive multiple life threats, including being hit by a car. In short, I've coped with a lot of challenging pet-related emergencies, special needs, and losses, which means I understand how important reliable, responsible, loving care is to other pet parents. I've enjoyed pet and house sitting for dogs and cats of all ages over the last three years across Tampa, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and Los Angeles, and would love to spend more of my time caring for pets. I'm a remote business owner with a flexible schedule and who can work from anywhere there is wifi, which means I can be available last minute, if needed. I own a remote business that can be operated from anywhere there is WiFi and choose my own hours, so I have a very flexible schedule and the ability to pet sit on short notice. I have been pet sitting, staying in other people's homes, for the past three years, trusted to care for both pets and multi-million dollar condos and single-family homes. I treat every home as if it were mine, respecting homeowners' privacy, keeping doors / windows / alarms secure, ensuring the continued safety and wellness of the pets, returning household items to their usual places, and cleaning and tidying up before I finish the sit.

“Thank you Sam!”

Madeline provided us with daily updates, pictures, and videos, which put us at ease during our time away. Excellent communication and took excellent care of our dogs.

If my schedule says open for any house sitting jobs then I’m completely off from work those days. I am happy to provide regular updates and photos to keep pet parents informed while they are away. I will communicate with parents and see what they are comfortable with me doing for in home visits, walks and drop ins. I prioritize the safety of all pets in my care.

“It was a pleasure to leave for the day and know that Sandee was with our dog, Scarlett. She was prompt, friendly, and very attentive to Scarlett.

Andrew M.
“For as long as I've known Andrew Magda, he has always been a dog lover. He loves not only his own dog, but all dogs any shape or size. Andrew is also very exercise driven. He is always exercising and engaging in outdoor activities. Andrew Magda would be the ideal person to dog sit your home because he is very neat and cleanly. Andrew Magda is a very trustworthy individual and would be a wonderful dog walker/dog sitter/ or dog watcher. Many times I have entrusted Andrew Magda to watch my English Springer Spaniel, and she just adores him. My springer is very high energy, and every time I come home after she has been on a walk with Andrew she is very tuckered out and I could not be happier with my experience with this individual.”


Claudia D.
“Claudia was my go-to sitter for our labradoodle for years. Whether she sat for a day, a week or longer, Claudia loved our Edie as much as we did (sadly, Edie recently died at 15 years old). Claudia cooked special meals regularly, not just for our dog, but for her dog as well. Dog food was just got good enough for her Ozzy! Claudia seemed to know just what our Edie needed- when she wanted to be walked, hugged, fed and yes, even disciplined! Claudia is a dog whisperer. There is no doubt in my mind. She will love and care for you pets as well or better than you do yourself! And she is honest and trustworthy. Our home was cleaner when we got home than when we left and nothing was out of place or missing. I strongly, wholeheartedly and without reservation, highly recommend Claudia for all and any of your pet sitting needs.”
