“Mackenzie is an amazing dog sitter! She was super communicative, flexible, and made sure our 3 very needy dogs got all the love they require. Highly recommend!!”

“I was fortunate to book Toni again and have her stay at my house to watch my cat Maggie. Just like last time, everything was perfect. Toni is super responsible, gave me updates with pictures throughout the day and left the house impeccable. Most importantly, Maggie likes her too!!! If you are in need for a reliable house sitter who you can trust to take care of your fur babies, Toni is the one!!”

“Andrea was a wonderful dog sitter. My dog did well despite being sick and requiring lots of medications. Andrea took very good care of her and my dog continues to be happy to see her when Andrea comes to walk her. She is on time and very pleasant to work with.”

“Kathryn stayed at our home for 12 days taking care of our three chihuahuas. She was incredibly helpful, communicated well (including sending photos and videos of our dogs every day), took great, loving care of our dogs, and left our home clean and ready for us when we returned. We would definitely recommend and we will be requesting Kathryn's help next time we travel!”

“Stephanie was so wonderful and she exceeded all of my expectations! I was so nervous to leave my dog while I went on a weekend cruise because he’s so used to being with me but knowing Chico was well taken care of made this trip that much better. She provided multiple updates throughout the day with pictures. I just knew Chico was in the best of hands! I will absolutely rebook with Stephanie every time I have to leave my little one behind”

“Yolenny was absolutely terrific as our dog sitter while we vacationed in Palm Beach. She loves dogs, treats them the way we do with kindness and conversation. She is punctual, resourceful, goes out of her way for you. She is a delightful person who quickly becomes a friend. We felt completely at ease leaving our two Barbet with her. We recommend Yolenny without reservation. We will definitely ask her to sit against if we are in Palm Beach.”

“Kathleen was amazing. Highly recommend her. Very professional and treated Charlie as if ihe was her own dog. Very knowledgeable and made sure she understood my needs and Charlie’s. She’s the best!”

“Jessica was great with my puppy Bella. I was apprehensive about leaving Bella because she was not feeling great but knowing that Jessica had Vet tech experience helped me decide that it was going to be fine. Jessica administered her pills and within a day Bella was feeling better. I will definitely use Jessica again and would recommend her highly.”

About: I have been the go-to sitter for friends and family for over ten years and recently started taking clients through TrustedHousesitters. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs of varying temperaments and can accommodate a range of special needs, from senior pets to administering medication. I'm comfortable managing feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and keeping homes clean, tidy, and secure while owners are away. I'm calm, respectful, and attentive, and I love to keep pets happy, comfortable, and settled in their usual routines while their owners are traveling. Pet care fits easily into my schedule - I work part time, so I have plenty of flexibility for walks, feeding, playtime, and anything else they need. In the client’s home, I’m respectful and committed to keeping things clean, secure, and just as they left them, so pets stay safe and comfortable.

About: I grew up with a large chow-chow, and currently have a smaller puppy that I love looking after & walking. I am athletic & enjoy walking & running with my dogs. I will always ensure your pup is safe & having a PAWtastic time🐾! In order for this to happen I never forget my essentials kit. This includes the basics of: - filtered water solely for your pup - a clean collapsible dog bowl - doggie poop bags - a poop scooper - hand sanitizer (for me) - pet safe dog wipes (great for wiping down paws after walks) - treats if the owner supplies them - 1-2 toys On our walks, I will check the pavement to ensure it is safe for walking. I will take breaks with the pup in a cool/shaded area whenever possible. I will always keep you updated on our dog walk/sit. Book me & your pup will have a PAWtastic time 🐾! I am available for in-home dog sitting Sunday through Saturday, offering full-time care all week long. Because my college classes are fully online, I am home with your pup almost the entire day, with just a quick two-hour block for classes Monday through Thursday mornings, and two evenings a week. My only scheduled time away from the house is Thursday mornings for a brief, in-person class. This flexible, remote schedule means your dog gets consistent companionship, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of love throughout the day! Your Pup’s Safety & Happiness Are My Top Priorities! As a dedicated pet caregiver in Miami, I know that keeping your furry family members safe, hydrated, and happy requires extra attention to detail. I specialize in providing premium, tailored care that aligns perfectly with your routine. What you can expect from my five-star service: Proactive Heat & Paw Safety: Florida heat is no joke! I always conduct a pavement temperature check before we step out to ensure your pup's paws are completely safe. Hydration on the Go: I carry a dedicated travel kit equipped with fresh water and a portable bowl on every single walk. Customized Care & Feeding: Your feeding instructions and exercise requirements will be met precisely to your standards. Real-Time Peace of Mind: You will receive detailed updates and photos from our adventures so you never have to wonder how your best friend is doing.
“Allie is the BEST! Her understanding, patience and love for dogs is what you need to feel comfortable leaving your fur babies. I have 2 doodles, 1 very difficult, Allie is the ONLY person who is patient and understanding enough to deal with her stress and anxiety of us being away.”
“Cassandra took great care of my pup and my home while I was away for almost two weeks. She was great at communicating with me and keeping me in the loop while I was away! Would definitely have her sit for us again”

“Ella took great care of Luna. She sent lots of pictures and daily updates on all the fun Luna was having. Would definitely love to have Ella to look after Luna again ☺️”

“THE Star Sitter that you ABSOLUTELY must book! She is the penultimate caregiver; she is 100 percent present for your furry/winged/(scaly?) family members. My only negative is that she is immensely popular with us who know her, so book fast 🐾💯👍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼”

“Gwendolyn was amazing with our 9 month-old golden retriever! She stayed at our place for a long weekend, kept everything so clean, and sent tons of updates and pictures which gave us so much peace of mind. We came home to a happy pup and spotless apartment—couldn’t recommend her more!”

“Theresa was AMAZING!! I was out of the state traveling for several days and Theresa took such amazing care of my fur babies. She left my house in better shape than how I left it, and my dog and cats were so happy and well-cared for. She also was incredibly patient and understanding with my very timid and fearful rescue dog. I cannot recommend Theresa enough!!”

“Stefan watched our cat and dog during the Thanksgiving holiday and he was great! Checked in on them multiple times a day and sent us updates. Definitely recommend Stefan to watch your pets!”

“Nicole took such good care of Olive! It was last minute and she still took time to come by and meet her, make sure she was comfortable, ask for all of the necessary information and details, and Olive took to her immediately. I received regular updates and photos and came home to a happy and well cared for pup and clean home. I can’t recommend Nicole enough! She will care for your pets like they are her own.”

Camila was absolutely wonderful with our cat, Star. From the moment we connected, she was kind, communicative, and clearly a true animal lover. She took such great care of Star for the day and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Camila kept us updated, was attentive to Star’s needs, and treated her like her own. It means so much to know your pet is in good hands, and Camila exceeded our expectations. We’re so grateful for her help and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend! 🐾✨

Toni is one of a kind! Luckily she was available to watch my cat Maggie on a quick out of town overnight stay. She‘s my cat sitter to go! Have used her services before and was so happy to see she was available. As always, the house was impeccable, and all instructions followed..most importantly though my Maggie really likes her. Thanks Toni for being you, I am so glad I found you!

Trisha stayed at our house and took great care of our dog and cat while we were away. She was responsible, friendly, communicative...everything you'd want from a pet sitter! Our pets do not eat kibble and she had no issues feeding them fresh food. No issues with anything else pet care related either. She was respectful of our home. She also was super kind and generous in extending our house sitting agreement when we realized our Rover booking was only until the day before we were returning. Thank you for being so easygoing and responsible, Trisha! Our animals hope to see you again.
