“Robin is the very first sitter I have ever used. I was amazed at Robin’s ability to make my sweet Mendy feel calm and relaxed. Robin sent me sweet photos throughout the day which meant the world to me. I will definitely reach out to Tobin again when I am in need of a sitter for Mendy. Kind, professional and very dependable. Robin is a blessing to both me and Mendy!! ♥️🐾♥️😊”

“Our dogs loved staying with Victoria! She went above and beyond to make them comfortable during their stay. Would highly recommend leaving your pets in her care!!”
“Madison and her fiancé took such great care of Ollie for a week for us! I have no complaints. They went above and beyond and it was like we never left when we got home to our pup. He seemed happy, content and well taken care of!”

“Couldn't of had a better sitter for my two precious babies. Carol communicated well and took great care of my two. Highly recommend Carol if you're looking for someone to trust your pets with. They loved her and so did we!❤️🦋”

“Mary is a top notch sitter. Ruby genuinely took to her immediately. Mary was diligent about sending pictures and updates. She was attentive to Ruby’s health care needs. Will book her again. Highly recommend!”

“Misty is a lifesaver, so happy we connected. She stayed at the house with my Malinois for 4 days and when I got home, my dog was happy and healthy, and the house looked like Misty wasn’t there (she cleaned, did laundry, and left no trace). The peace of mind is priceless and I recommend Misty.”


“We were very happy with Ernest. He took excellent care of Missy. How do we know? Because she was happy when we got home, ate all of her food while we were gone and got undivided attention and did not seem overly concerned that we had been gone!”
“Linda and Joe did an outstanding job at making Riley feel right at home! They sent daily pictures and never once did I feel concerned about his care. Will definitely use them again!”

“Anthony was FANTASTIC! First of all, he was available on short notice. Then he had our Yorkie basically eating out of the palm of his hand and she never does that with anyone but us! He sent pictures to me while he was there, which was very reassuring. I can’t say enough good about him! Thank you, Anthony!”

“Jenna was amazing! She played with my pups, kept our house clean, and on her last day there she took the trash in and out for us and washed the blankets. My pups were happy with her and so was my cat. We already re-booked her for our next trip out of town. I highly recommend!”

About: I have been watching and taking care of dogs since I was 17. From pet sitting to just drop ins. Ive done it all. Can handle any size dog. Very good at giving medication. I also have a cat and have taken care of cats for about 5 years now. I will take great care of your babies. I live in the Villages and I am currently a stay at home wife. My husband travels for work so pet sitting/walking/drop ins gives me the independence and flexibility in my schedule. I love to remodel houses and hang out with my animals. Ive been pet sitting since I was 17 years old. Very good at giving medication. I promise i will love your little ones like they were my own.. Very used to walking dogs and playing fetch. I am comfortable doing whatever your normal schedule is. I want your pet to have the same schedule as if you were home
“Alli is the best! Our little guy is very fearful of anyone new and she was super patient with him and understanding. She was eventually able to earn his trust and we had a stress free vacation knowing he was being well cared for.”

“Jessica was wonderful. We were apprehensive in the beginning because we have always had family watch our dogs. My male boxers takes awhile to warm up to people. She was kind enough to come to our home twice for a meet and great to make sure he would get along with her. We have 3 dogs in all and sure enough in no time he became great friends with her. Jessica stayed in communication with us on our 7 day trip and made us feel at ease and able to enjoy our vacation. We came home to 3 happy dogs who now have a new best friend. Our home was in perfect order and clean when we arrived home. She even washed the sheets on our bed and replace with fresh sheets. She did not hesitate to text if she had any questions. She sent wonderful pictures of our dogs during our vacation. I highly recommend Jessica for bookings. I will continue to use her for any upcoming vacations or weekend getaways. I give her a 5 star rating.”

“Nick is amazing. His attention to detail while taking care of my paralyzed pup was great. Everything I asked him to do, for our pup, was executed to the tee. I was able to show nick how to express my pups blader once and he was able to repeat it with no problems. Nick kept a great line of communication open with me and was thoughtful enough to send me a picture of his time with my pup.”

“Angela has been caring for our cocker spaniel for about a month now, and she has just been wonderful to work with. We recently moved to FL, and before that, our dog only had one caretaker for his entire life (he's 12), so we really wanted to take the time with someone new for both drop in visits and overnights/housesitting, and she has really gained his trust - and ours!! He seems very happy in the photos she sends. So happy we found her!”

“Terry was great! We were visiting Florida from out of town and needed a sitter for 8+ hours with fairly short notice. Our sweet pup isn't always a fan of strangers - especially when we're leaving him with them. Terry was able to win him over - and even sent me a video of her giving him a belly rub! Not only was she willing to stay with him the entire time, but she brought him two toys - one being a stuffed alligator which has become his favorite since we've returned home! Terry clearly loves animals and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to spoil their pet while they're away - she's Dudley approved!”

“Kimberly did a great job. Jasmine seem to love her. Kimberly sent me photos and kept me informed. She was very professional and friendly. Will definitely hire her again to look after my dog.”
About: Hi there. My name is Elisha. I am recently retired and looking to fill my days with love from your fur baby! I live with my husband and our 2 year old terrier mix, Jack (featured in my photo). We rescued him at the beginning of this year, but have had dogs for the last 15 years. We live in a condo located in a quiet neighborhood. We don't have a fenced in yard, but there is lots of space to run around and it's a very dog friendly neighborhood. I am available for pet sitting, pet boarding, doggy daycare or dog walks. My dog Jack is very friendly and loves to play. One of our favorite weekend activities is meeting new friends at the dog park. Hope to meet your favorite family member soon!
