“Deena was great. She came on the right days and times and was so great to our cat Peter. She was very communicative and helpful. She listened to the directions perfectly.”


About: I have worked at the Humane Society of Greater Miami and taken care of pets for about 5 years now, ranging from tiny to large dogs such as Malteses to Labradors, I have also taken care of different/several cats and even have gotten the most antisocial ones to be comfortable with me! I have literally seen every kind of dog and cat from my time at the Humane Society, I was there for all of my high school years and some of the beginning of my college career. Since then I’ve been taking care of family’s, friend’s, and neighbors’ pets off and on. I’m definitely the kind of person that will say hi to your pet before you (no offense) and treat them as my own. I’ve had a dog for 12 years and with that came my growth in love for animals and always ensuring they’re properly taken care of. I will always make sure they’re safe and don’t worry, I like to take and send so many pics of them to you to make sure you know how they’re doing at all times! I’m currently not working since I have started nursing school! It takes up a chunk of my time since I’m usually studying but I feel like that makes me great for a sitter position, I’ve taken care of different pets for years and my schedule is free anytime after 2pm on Wednesdays, and anytime Thursday-Saturday. I always ensure to create a safe environment whenever I’m around anyone’s pet, they don’t know me so I always try to have them warm up to me. I like to make sure they’re safe under my watch as well as having fun! To me, it’s not just having someone take a peek and make sure your pet is alright but to make sure they know they have the company and presence of someone so they don’t feel alone or abandoned. Whether I’m taking them for walks or spending a night with them to make sure they’re not lonely, I will always make sure they are having fun, safe, and relay any important information (or cute pics) to you! After all, they’re your family and I wouldn’t treat them any less than that.
About: I’ve experince of taking care of the families friends i have been working for i work like i nanny and always stay with the pets at the ownes house because is less stressful for the pets if they stay in their environment while im taking care of them Since I've been living alone, I have a lot of availability to stay with pets, preferably in their homes. either during the week or on weekends. I only offer to care for pets in their own homes because it is less stressful for them to be in their own environment while their owners are away.
About: What sets me apart is how much I genuinely love animals and enjoy being around them. I grew up with both cats and dogs, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. I recently got my own place and would love to fill it with some furry company! I absolutely adore animals, but with my schedule, I’m not quite ready to have a pet of my own full-time. Pet sitting gives me the perfect opportunity to spend time with animals, give them lots of love and attention, and make sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. 🐾❤️ My schedule is very flexible since I work part-time and make my own schedule. When I have a pet-sitting booking, I can usually arrange my schedule around it and make sure I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. I’m typically available throughout the day, and if I do work, it’s usually only from around 8 PM–2 AM. This allows me to be home for most of the day and provide plenty of care, playtime, walks, and companionship. 🐾💕 Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, I make their comfort and routine my priority. I’ll follow their normal feeding, walking, playtime, and bedtime routines as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I also love giving plenty of attention, cuddles, and playtime based on each pet’s personality. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve loved cats for as long as I can remember. I’ve always enjoyed their company and understand their unique personalities and needs. Although I don’t have a pet at the moment, I truly miss having one around, so I would be happy to take care of your cat with love, attention, and patience as if it were my own. I work from home, so I can spend most of the day with your cat, making sure they get attention, playtime, and care whenever they need it. My home is calm, clean, and safe — perfect for a cat to feel comfortable and relaxed. I always make sure your pet feels loved and well cared for, just like at home.

About: As a veterinarian, I bring over a decade of pet care experience and a deep passion for animal well-being. I moved back to Miami this year from San Diego for an exciting work opportunity and am excited to dedicate time to building meaningful relationships with owners and their beloved pets, ensuring personalized and attentive care. I have over a decade of experience working with animals in hospital settings and have owned and cared for pets my entire life. I’m a veterinarian based in San Diego, so I do have a fairly active schedule that includes going into the hospital regularly. That said, I have some flexibility depending on the day and can occasionally bring animals to work with me when appropriate. I’m always happy to talk through logistics to make sure your pet is comfortable and well cared for. I am excited to provide attentive and reliable pet care (: In my apartment, which I share with my two cats who are accustomed to dogs, I ensure a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for all pets. Whether in my home or my client’s, I prioritize each pet’s unique needs, maintaining a clean space, supervising interactions, and providing enrichment, comfort, and care tailored to their preferences and routines.
“Julia did an amazing job of taking care of my cat while I was away for almost two weeks. She was very responsive, flexible with times and schedule changes, and always sent adorable pictures and videos. I could tell my Bella really loved having Julia watch her, and warmed up right away. I would definitely use Julia again, and recommend her for anyone's fur babies!”
About: I love to play with dogs and keep them entertained and truly cared for. I also make sure they stay well taken care of nutrition-wise and take them out whenever necessary. I own a marketing agency and work from home. This makes it very easy for me to be close to your pet and provide him/her with the attention he/she deserves. I make sure I am completely aware of their needs and/or any other specifications. I don't just passively watch them but actively interact with them and make sure they feel truly at home.
About: I’ve worked with small and big dogs as well as birds and lizards. I’ve many experiences with animals since I was a baby, I’ll treat your animal as if it was one of my own I can work daily or weekly depending on what you would like. I can also work most weekends day or night as well during the week day or night I take care of any animal as if it was my own. I’ve always loved animals since I was a child. I’ll keep you updated with pictures as well every time
About: I have 17 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and energy levels. I spent 16.5 years caring for my cocker spaniel, Oreo, throughout every stage of her life, including her senior years. That experience taught me how important patience, consistency, and attention to subtle changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, and comfort can be. I’m currently a physician assistant student and previously worked as a medical assistant, so I am extremely detail-oriented and comfortable following feeding plans, medication schedules, mobility routines, and other specialized care instructions. I can administer oral and injected medications when provided with clear veterinary or owner instructions. I also have experience with younger, high-energy dogs and large dogs. I tailor walks, playtime, enrichment, and rest to each dog’s individual needs rather than using the same routine for every pet. Pet parents can expect reliable communication, frequent photo updates, and careful attention to their dog’s normal habits. I am especially passionate about providing calm, compassionate care for senior and special-needs dogs. I’m a full-time physician assistant student, so I am not home full-time on weekdays. I’m generally available early mornings and evenings, with much more flexibility on weekends and select holidays. Boarding and daycare are primarily offered on weekends or on days when I can remain home. I confirm the exact schedule before every booking and only accept care that I can reliably accommodate. I live alone in a nonsmoking, pet-free, and child-free apartment. I accept only one client household at a time so each pet receives calm, individualized attention. I do not have a yard, so dogs are always securely leashed or harnessed outdoors and are never left outside unattended. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, crate, mobility, and comfort instructions. In a client’s home, I respect their space, double-check doors and locks, and maintain the pet’s established routine. I am especially attentive to senior dogs that need slower walks, additional potty breaks, or closer monitoring.
About: I am an animal lover and every summer I spent has been with all different types of animals from all over the world from spider monkeys in the amazon to sea lions and marine iguanas in the Galapagos to bull sharks in Fiji. My true passion is dogs and caring for them because they are so lovable and fun to play with. I’m available all year long and available at anytime. I will care for your pet like he or she is my own. My schedule is currently studying for the LSAT to prepare for law school applications this coming fall.I am mostly in the library and at home as well as visiting my grandfather in Mystic Pointe every week. I pray in the morning, work out right after and then study, work and read throughout the day. I have a French bulldog at home who is only friendly out of the home so I will only be able to provide house sitting services and any and all dog walking services :). I hope this is helpful.
About: I've cared for birds, big breed dogs, cats and even a tarantula. I am good at hiding medicine in treats or convincing a cat to swallow a pill. I've even raised and cared for baby birds and kittens. I'm currently studying and needed a flexible job. I like to move my body around but get bored at the gym and miss my walks with my great dane after she passed. A walk with a pup is more fun that the stair-master at the gym I am the friend my friends call to watch there pets. I'm really good when it comes to maintaining and up-keeping any kennels or pet rooms clean. I also like to wash bowls if their owners don't mind.
“We couldn’t be happier with Aleja’s care for our pets while we were on vacation. She didn’t just feed them and take Lola, our dog, for her daily walks—she truly bonded with them, giving them affection and attention as if they were her own. Knowing they were in such good hands gave us real peace of mind while we were away. We came back to happy pets and a calm home, and for that, we’re very grateful. We highly recommend Aleja to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring for their animals.”


About: I work in the cruising industry, so I know firsthand how difficult it can be to find someone you truly trust to care for your pets while you’re away. Over the years, I’ve cared for friends’ pets for days and even weeks at a time while they travel for work. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I have furry family members of my own. I may not have any fancy “pet care” certifications or special skills, but what I do have is plenty of love, patience, attention, and a genuine soft spot for animals. My goal is to make your time away a little easier by giving your pets the same care, affection, and attention they’re used to at home- with plenty of cuddles, playtime, and, of course, treats when allowed! Your pets aren’t just pets; they’re family. I’ll treat them that way. ❤️ I work full-time from home, Monday through Friday, from 8 AM to 4 PM, so my availability is primarily in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends. I also have a 2-year-old who may occasionally accompany me when caring for pets, provided they are comfortable and child-friendly. I’m happy to discuss each pet’s needs and make sure the arrangement is a good fit for everyone. My schedule allows me to be flexible outside of my regular work hours, and I’m especially happy to help with evening visits, walks, overnight care, and weekend stays. I have a cat and two guinea pigs at home, so I’m currently only able to host pets who are comfortable and friendly around other animals. Because of this, I’m especially happy to provide care in your home, where your pet can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I can help with feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, companionship, and keeping up with their normal routine while you’re away. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions you leave for their care. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾

I can’t say enough great things about Marcy. She took care of my dogs like they were her own. This was the best pet sitting experience I’ve ever had. She was attentive, thoughtful, and my dogs loved her. Marcy went above and beyond and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. If you want someone you can trust who will treat your pets like family, Marcy is it. Thank you for making my trip stress free.
