“Tich is the best and most helpful sitter! She is trustworthy and caring. She goes above and beyond expectations. I’m so lucky to have found Tich!”

“Jessica was fantastic. She kept me updated with texts, vids, and photos, and Snickers had a great time with her son. I definitely recommend Jessica for your dog sitting needs.”

“Would definitely recommend Kelly! We are so glad we found Kelly and Kyle! They looked after our dog for an extended stay and we were so grateful for all the help and amazing care they gave. Kelly sent lots of updates including fun photos and videos which we loved! The stay included lots of walks and playtime in their yard with their amazing dog Eggie. Would absolutely trust Kelly to look after our dog again.”

“My favorite sitter (and my dog’s favorite). I’ve used again and again and will continue to book anytime my little Luna can’t join us for a trip!”

“Another perfect experience with Elizabeth! I left my mini goldendoodle for the day today and she sent some great photos and videos of Dakota having a blast with her boys and fellow pups under her care. Looking forward to our next stay in January!”

“Milly definitely had a vacation with Kristy and her family. She was so happy coming home after her staying. I could tell Kristy and her family treated Milly as part of the family and gave her everything they could to make her feel welcome. Milly can’t wait for her next vacation at Kristy’s.”

“Kathye was great! Our two doggies loved staying with her and had a great time. Kathye was super accommodating, she let us pick them up late at night, and was willing to work around our schedule more generally too. She even sent us home with some nice treats (they were a surprise, in their travel bag)! Sesame was sad to see her leave when we picked him up. Thanks Kathye!”

“Juan Pablo provided an amazing environment for my timid pup! He sent frequent updates and pictures and I felt comfortable knowing my dog was safe and well cared for. Would highly recommend and will definitely be booking with him again!”

“Dave was wonderful with Scooby, our dog, during his weekend stay. Scooby also enjoyed being at Dave’s house from the many pictures he sent us. The large yard gave plenty of space for Scooby to roam and discover. We liked that Scooby was the only pet. We absolutely with no reservations recommend Dave for your pet.”

“100/10!! I recommend Jaroslava to anyone needing pet sitter services. Especially for senior dogs. She watched my dog over thanksgiving and my dog was sad to say bye and I could tell she enjoyed her time. Jaroslava put the time and effort into understanding every detail: her medicine, her food, typical behaviors; and made the effort to make sure my dog was happy and well-taken care of. Jaroslava was also very friendly and very helpful with drop off and pick up times.”

“Laura and Felipe are absolutely amazing! They both took excellent care of our two dogs Bela and Zoey while my husband and I were out of town. They were very sweet and kind to them, treating them as if they were their own. Laura and Felipe kept us up to date with photos throughout our trip. My dogs looked so happy, I don't think they wanted to go home! I strongly recommend Laura and Felipe, you won’t be disappointed. Thank you,”

“Jennifer was a wonderful sitter for our two dogs. She communicated daily and always sent photos. I felt comfortable leaving my dogs with her and plan to use her as a sitter again. Jennifer loves dogs and I felt like my dogs were truly loved when they were there. Thanks Jennifer!”

“Johanne was so great with Sandy and Sandy absolutely loved being at her house. I got so many photos and videos and never had to wonder what was going on. Johanne treated Sandy like one of her own and Sandy can’t wait to go back!”

About: I work in a Veterinary office & Paw Spa in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I am also a dog photographer! I am surrounded by dogs & cats daily and the care that they need will absolutely be my top priority! For 18 years + I have taken care of dogs that need special diets, medications, insulin and eye drops from cataract surgery. My two Cavaliers are Elliott & Walter, they are my family & they also want my attention 24/7! I know how a pet feels when they are not with “their person”… they need to feel comforted & loved. So I talk to them, cuddle them, play, praise them, they get hugs & kisses! I do the same at work, and try to make all dogs checking in feel comfortable, so that they are not nervous while they are getting groomed. *I can also bathe, fluff, nail dremel, shave paw pads, clean ears & do a sanitary trim for an additional $35. My favorite is taking pictures of your pets, I’m happy to send videos and photos daily so that you can see how much fun your pet is having while you relax while you’re away! Your dog should be neutered/spayed, socialized and able to be around others without aggression. Also be friendly with cats 🐈, I have 2! Only “Socialized non-aggressive dogs 25 lbs or less”, no pit bulls. My employment allows me to come home during my lunch hour to spend time with my dogs, feed them and let them out and play. I am available for small dogs to board in my home. I do have two kitties 🐈⬛ and would want to make sure your dog 🐕 is friendly around felines. I am off work for the weekends. If you prefer your pet stay at their own home, I can do drop- in visits for 30 minutes or 60 minutes. I am privately insured with Pet Care Insurance to care for your pet in my home, or yours. *Please make sure if your pets are staying at my home, that they are caught up on their current vaccinations and flea medication’s. Have you ever taken your dog to a doggy daycare & observed that they are friendly with dogs? That’s the kind of dog that would blend in best with my environment here with my two cavaliers, and I also have 2 cats. I would not take on more than two dogs at a time, so that I can give them enough attention. I have a large fenced in yard where I take my dogs outside to safely play! I also have a smaller fenced in side yard/patio off of my kitchen. I would like to do a meet and greet prior, either at my house or in my yard. I want to make sure everyone is “social & comfortable”. All dogs should be neutered or spayed, except for puppies under 8 months old. 🐶 If your dog has a favorite bed or blanket or toys, please pack those for their pup-vacation!
