“Heather was fantastic with my pups and my home. She took care of my fur pups especially my senior pup with patience and understanding. I was able to relax knowing they were safe and cared for. I will use Heather again in the future and highly recommend her for sitting.”


“This is the 2nd time John has watched my dogs, and I really like him. We live in an apartment, so he walks them 4 times a day plus feeds and chills with them. I also like that he sends me picture updates while I’m gone.”


“Will absolutely be booking with Laquan again! He watched our dog in our home on short notice and followed our instructions very thoroughly and was very professional. He was communicative with check-ins about how our dog was doing and made sure to send us photos, too. He was also extremely respectful of our home and we returned back to a clean house and a happy pup! Our dog requires someone to be with her at our house, and it can be stressful to find someone trustworthy that we can feel comfortable leaving her with - we’re grateful that we found Laquan and look forward to booking with him in the future!”



About: My undergraduate studies in Animal Cognition first brought me to Florida six years ago. I instantly fell in love with the sand, sun, and ability to truly live an outdoor lifestyle. And, it only gets better now that I get to share all these beautiful things with my rescued GSP pup! I have dedicated my professional career to studying the behavior of animals, whether it's marine mammals, horses, or our beloved canine companions. I have recently found myself returning to my passion for dog training and personalizing everyday routines to best suit my clients. Just like many of us paw parents, our pets equally benefit from consistency and familiar support. Taking this extra step to understand your pet's day-to-day routine and specific needs is how I plan to ease you both while you enjoy your time away. Don't worry, we plan on enjoying our time together too as we play, snuggle, and maybe sneak an extra treat or two! Just like you would if you were home 😉 PLEASE NOTE: *A scheduled MEET & GREET with your pet(s) will be REQUIRED prior to finalizing any services. *I have a FULL-TIME job and cannot guarantee midday potty breaks for most bookings. *I currently DO NOT offer boarding or daycare services. I am currently employed FULL-TIME during the weekdays. I am most available to help in the early mornings, evenings, and for overnight stays. Depending on the location of your residence, midday potty breaks may be feasible. I can always provide personal recommendations for daytime sitters/walkers upon request! I DO NOT offer boarding in my home at this time! My rescue pup is focusing on building his confidence, but continues to make friends everywhere we go. I hope to offer in-house boarding services soon. When applicable, vaccination records and references will be required upon booking.

“Jana was vert friendly and it was super easy to work with her. She was great with all of my animals even my skittish cat came out for some love from Jana! I will definitely book with her again!”


“Kimber stayed in my home and took care of my animals for 2+ weeks. They all seemed healthy and happy when I arrived home and the house was nice and clean. She also communicated well during my time away. Thanks again!”


About: I’ve worked on farms and worked with multiple animal types from dogs to goats. I’m accustomed to schedule planning and checking everything off each day and night. I am open in the afternoons and early in the mornings. I am quite flexible as long as I have prior notice. I also only work Sunday - Wednesday at my full time job ! I have a very relaxed home as I have my own puppy and she has full ranged of the entire house. She is fixed and potty trained. I do have a yard, and it is fenced in!

“Alicia was the best sitter I could have asked for. She took the best care of my dog one could ask for. My dog was drawn to her instantly and didn't leave her side when she was watching him. I couldn't be happier with her service.”


“This is our first time using a petsitter. I was pretty nervous. I have to tell you having our 4 dogs in their own home being cared for is a gamechanger. Jensen was on time and my dogs.loved him. He was polite and the house was in good shape when we got home. Most of all my.dogs were calm.and happy when we got back which is the best.part and that tells.me that they liked him! Thank you for caring for them and taking care of them while we were away. I would highly recommend him for your dogs.”


“Jennifer did an amazing job taking care of our four precious babies. All four dogs have special needs and daily meds, Jennifer did great taking care of their needs and giving them love. This is the first time we have left our babies over night, and thanks to Jennifer, we were able to take a vacation and enjoy ourselves, knowing that our dogs were being well cared for and loved. We hope to be able to use Jennifer again in the future. On a scale of zero to ten, I would rate her an eleven plus!!!”


“We recently took a trip that our fur babies couldn’t go with us. Aerial dog/house sat for us. When we got home, the dogs were tired and the hose was clean. It was evident that she kept our babies on their schedule. She sent us pictures while we were gone and glad to see them playing ball, which is a must! Aerial is responsible and would recommend her when looking for a dog/house sitter.”


“I have never had anyone dog sit for me before so I was very nervous. Everything went great! The dogs loved her and she sent me pictures of my dogs.”


About: I’ve taken care of my own animals since I was 10 years old. My neighbors always relied on me to walk their animals and take care of personal stuff as needed:) I am currently in nursing school and my classes go through majority of morning but in afternoon I’m free to take care of your animal I have a small apartment but it is perfect for my animals and me. I’m more so looking to go help at other peoples houses since the small environment may not be best for all of our children lol

“She treated my dogs like they were her’s. Highly recommended”

I will definitely be using her again!”

When we came home from our trip, our little furry troop was relaxed and happy, and our home was spotless. Paola, thank you for taking such awesome care of Finnlea and Rooster. We look forward to working with you again!!”

And I came home to zero issues, everyone gated and happy. Breana is professional and kind and I'm so thankful for her.”


About: Hi, my name is L, and I’m ready to meet your furbabies!❤️ Not only do I have so much love for animals and babies, I’ve also had many yrs of experience from wildlife rehabilitation to professional walker and fun/loving times with furbabies of different breeds❤️ I have a mad love for furbabies (reptiles, amphibians, birds, etc included) and make memories while sitting or even to just come check on them, while giving them plenty of attention. ❤️ Growing up raising ducks, opossums, raccoons, snakes, squirrels…you name it, I’ve done it and loved every bit of it. I have 5 furbabies (2 dogs and 3 guineas) of my own, one dog whom is an adopted pit mix and the other adopted as well, she’s a catahoula spotted mix ❤️ the guineas were a rescue situation, as I couldn’t leave them in a bad home…but they’re my world, aside of my daughter. So let’s get together and let me share some love to your babies too. I’m currently a stay at home, as I’m taking time away from the work field, so I’m available 24/7! I’m up early mornings by 7/8am til 1/2am. I’m available and flexible. I care for pets to their owners liking and never go out of an owner’s instructions on feedings, play times, crating if need, medicines…etc. I’m constantly sending owners pics/videos of their furbabies, always reassuring that their babies are having fun and enjoying life.

About: I’ve been caring for pets as long as I can remember. Growing up we always had animals. Neighbors and family friends have trusted me to feed, walk, bath, and care for their fur babies while they were away! My family has an Irish setter named Lucy and I have a tuxedo kitty named Boo. I love both of them to death! I treat my animals as they are my children and give them all the love and attention in the world, as well as treating every animal as my own child. I’m here to make sure you aren’t worried about your pet while you are out of town, as they will be in good hands! I am currently a full time college student, however all of my classes are online expect two, which meet in person on two days for about an hour. This gives me great flexibility to work with your schedule and needs! I can easily do whatever is needed of me regarding your pets! I assure you I have done it all, such as crating your dog or giving them any sort of medicine.
