About: Dogs have always been a special part of my life. I grew up with dogs and have continued to have my own throughout adulthood, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I also regularly dog sit for friends and family and truly enjoy making every pup feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home. 🐾❤️ I’m retired and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give your pup plenty of time, attention, and care throughout the day. While caring for your fur baby will be available to provide companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love. 🐾❤️ I’m a dog lover and proud dog mom to two sweet pups—Rocky, my 5-lb Yorkie, and Betty, my 9-lb Cockapoo. They’re both part of the family, so I understand how important it is to I offer a loving, comfortable, and safe home where your pup will be treated like one of my own. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time, play, and get plenty of fresh air. Because I have two small dogs myself, my home is especially comfortable for small dogs who enjoy having furry friends around. I’ll make sure your pup receives plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and cuddles while in my care. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your fur baby is in a safe and caring home. 🐶❤️
About: I’ve had 11 dogs throughout my life, and I’ve been lucky enough to raise every one of them from just days or weeks old until they reached old age. I spoiled them endlessly, but I also made sure they were well-trained, social, and comfortable around other animals, dogs, babies, and people. Growing up, my family somehow became the family that animals could count on. I’ve lost count of how many animals we’ve rescued, fostered, nurtured, and helped find loving homes for. We’ve rescued everything from a bag of kittens my mom found in a dumpster at her job, to an abandoned iguana left at our house, to a one-eared dog who literally ran up to our car while we were stopped at a red light. I know it sounds like something out of a movie, but I promise it’s all true! 😂❤️ To me, dogs and pets aren’t simply animals—they’re part of us and part of our souls. They are family members who deserve patience, respect, love, attention, and proper care. They’re incredibly pure, innocent, intelligent, funny, and full of personality, and I genuinely love taking the time to understand what makes each animal special. 🐾❤️ I’m fortunate to be able to make my own hours and choose which days I work, which means I often have more days off than someone with a traditional schedule. If I have a pet-walking booking, I can easily adjust my work schedule around it by moving my workday to another day or starting earlier or later. This flexibility allows me to be reliable and available for pets while still maintaining my full-time career. I love that I can use my extra time to give pets the attention, exercise, fresh air, and companionship they deserve. I do travel occasionally, usually about once a month or every couple of months, but I always plan ahead and will let pet parents know in advance and block off any dates I’ll be out of town. I believe every pet and every breed is different, so I care for them based on their individual personality, needs, age, and health. When I had my English Bulldog, he preferred a slower, more laid-back lifestyle. Because of his build, exercise was important, but we kept our walks slow and comfortable, and he was usually very quick when it came to using the bathroom. I currently have a 9-month-old miniature Dachshund who is the complete opposite! He loves sniffing absolutely everything, so our walks tend to be much longer. I never rush him when he’s using the bathroom or exploring because I believe walks should be enjoyable, not something a dog has to hurry through. Because we live in Florida, I’m also very mindful of the heat and strong sun and bring an umbrella for extra shade when needed. He is definitely a very spoiled baby! 😂 He has beds and blankets throughout almost every room of the house, plenty of toys, and lots of space to safely roam and play. Because Dachshunds can be prone to spinal issues, I don’t let him use stairs and carry him up and down whenever needed. He gets monthly de-shedding and grooming, dental treats, coat oils, regular checkups, and of course, an unreasonable amount of hugs and cuddles. ❤️ Overall, I believe pets deserve individualized care, patience, comfort, enrichment, and lots of love. I try to care for every animal the same way I would want someone to care for my own spoiled baby.
“Jennifer is a great pet sitter, she es very sweet, reliable and very good taking care of my dog Leela. When I come back from my vacations my dog is always happy and calm. I will definitely book her again to take care of my Leela.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life, I really love helping people and that’s why I am a teacher and why I want to care for people’s pets. I am a new home owner with a big fenced yard and am looking forward to seeing dogs get zoomies back there! Currently working from home! Teacher that works from home and has a lot of free time for your pets! I will take them on all my little adventures daily! I care for pets with love and compassion.

About: I grew up in a house with both cats and dogs where everyone got along great! Once I moved out of the house I adopted my first rescue dog and have had dogs as pets ever since. Currently fostering dogs for Orange County Animal Services and have helped them get several dogs adopted into forever homes. I have regularly helped friends with dogsitting and housesitting while they are away from home, and have taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages. Currently working part time, from home, so my schedule is very flexible on both weekdays and weekends. Mornings or afternoons I'm available for pet play dates or walking. Trusting our pets with someone else is a big step, so I take their safety and security very seriously. When walking a dog I'm always cautious about traffic, strangers, or other pets that have been let off leash. Building trust with your pet is the best way to keep them safe so they can see you again soon!
“Alicia did an amazing job taking care of our dog while we were gone, so happy with her service! She sent us pictures and messages to keep us up to date. Our dog has some PTSD that makes him a challenge to work with, but she handled him like a pro! Will be booking her again???”
About: I have worked at a dog daycare for the last 7 years and have watched friends, family, and neighbors pets including dogs, cats, and lizards. I also babysit. I am now working as a dolphin trainer and am usually only available on my days off, but the timing of my shifts does vary daily and weekly. I just moved to the area so caring for your pets will help me get to know the area better. I am a full time zoological specialist so I’m really only available on my days off or if your pet is okay on their own for a longer period of time. I am currently in an apartment so I am only able to come to clients homes, but that doesn’t mean my level of care is any less!
About: I've had cats and dogs my whole life. Worked at a vet office and going to college to become a veterinarian. Good with puppies, kittens, any old pups and cats too. Able to give medication if needed or just the care and attention they need. I'm part time at a veterinary clinic, so I have quite a bit of free time and I make sure to fit things into my schedule. I love animals so I would be willing to stay with your pet for a while each time. I make sure everyone is fed, has water, gone on walks or even just run around. I play with the animals for a bit and depending if you want me to stay longer at the house I can spend time with the baby.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and currently have a Lab/Pitbull mix of my own. Growing up, my family had 4 dogs and 5 cats, so I’ve always been comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I have experience pet sitting through Wag, word-of-mouth referrals, and local Facebook groups, including drop-ins, walks, and staying with pets in their homes. I’m comfortable with feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, treats, giving plenty of attention, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. Pet sitting is currently my main job, so I have plenty of flexibility and time to give your pets the attention and care they need.

I treat every pet like family and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness.

You can count on me for punctuality, communication, and plenty of updates so you always know how your best buddy is doing. If you’re looking for someone who goes the extra mile (literally!) and brings good vibes to every visit, I’d love to help care for your pet. I've had my own pets and taken care of neighbors pets, family and friends pets, and voluteered at shelter from time to time. I walk dogs, long and lingering, letting them smell everything! It's like their morning paper, they "read" up on the neighborhood. I go different routes for variety! I'll throw a ball, try to teach paw, and give lots of cuddles and kisses. I even sing to the lucky dogs and cats! Some sing with me! I am ready any day after I get off work, around 7pm. Perfect for an evening walk with owners who may be in the medical or hospitality field and work nights. Or on my day's off which are Thursday and Sunday. Anytime on those days. My home has a comfy couch or bed. I have a huge yard at the end of a road so no traffic! We'll fur sure leash walk though so no worries! I’m reliable, warm, and always ready with a happy tune or a squeaky toy. Expect cheerful updates, cute photos, and a pet who can’t wait for their next Tammy-time.
“Nathaly was great! She took the time during the meet and greet to get to know us and understand my dogs routine. During the visit, she followed the instructions perfectly. She took the time to care and love on my dog and made sure all his needs were met. She communicated well, gave a detailed update, and shared cute pictures. Will definitely book her again!”

I cannot thank Naya enough for always taking care of my dog, Lucy. More than that, she is also very aware of her surroundings and attentive to what’s going on. The last time she visited my house, she had noticed my indoor cats broke through a screen and were outside wondering around. She spent her own time finding my cats and then making sure they were safe inside. Again- I cannot thank her enough. She is the absolute best!
Sophia was absolutely amazing with my pet. You can genuinely tell how much she cares — she treats your pet like it’s her own. While I was away, she kept me constantly updated with messages and check-ins, which gave me so much peace of mind. It made such a difference knowing my pet was not only safe, but truly cared for. I would 100% recommend Sophia to anyone looking for someone reliable, attentive, and loving to watch their pet.
Came with fairly short notice to walk our dog. Prompt, highly communicative, friendly and considerate. Birdie really likes her as well! You can tell she really loves animals and wants to keep them happy and safe. She treats them like they are her own. Highly recommend!
