“Thank you for taking care of my Ophie and Felix, as well as making everything so easy. I deeply appreciate the time spent playing with them, and will surely reach out to you for any upcoming trips. Again, thank you!”


About: Honestly I just genuinely enjoy taking care of pets, I love taking care of them like if they were my own. I trained my mom’s dog Roby when I was 14. I’m currently on school break and don’t have a job. I’m free majority of the week, except sundays. I usually work out and then have the rest the day free. Depends on the pet, I know some dogs/cats need play time, which I enjoy doing. However other pets are calm and just like being petted.

“Priscilla took great care of my cat while I was away! Always sent updates and photos and responded quickly to any question or message. Very trustworthy and it was reassuring that she has a background working with animals in her career. I would definitely have her pet-sit again and highly recommend her!”


“Dominique did an absolutely amazing job with the boys. Best rover sitter ive ever had, she was so tolerant with my little rascals & sent so many pictures and videos. I couldn’t get enough ❤️ Bless you Dominique and I would 10/10 reccomend her to anyone.”


“Melinda was wonderful! We were leaving our puppy for the first time and I was anxious, but she was great with Meeko and made me feel at ease with the check ins and photos!”


About: I excel at providing personalized attention and lots of love. I'm patient with puppies and know how to care for older dogs with love and special care. I always treat them like they're part of my family. I'm willing to do video calls to show that everything is okay. I send photos of your pet every day for your peace of mind. I currently work part-time, so I'm available to care for, walk, or play with your pet. I'm available almost every day; just let me know at least a day in advance. ☺️ When I care for pets in a client's home, I make sure to follow their routines and needs to the letter. I'm very observant, patient, and affectionate. I easily adapt to each animal's personality.

“When I left to travel for a week I left my 3 kitties in the care of Rachel. She cared for them very well and sent pics of them everyday. When I came back there was even little treats and a sweet card left behind. Best sitter ever!”


About: I am a huge animal lover. My family and I are big on rescuing animals so we have always had several dogs and cats in the house ranging from teacup poodles to labradors. I have stayed overnight at friends, family, and coworkers homes to take care of their pets. I have 5 years of experience in overnight boarding since my parents own a dog grooming business. I am looking forward to being your pets new best friend. They are in good hands! I work from home Wednesday through Thursday for daycare boarding. I am also available over the weekends for overnight boarding. Whatever your needs are,let me know! If your pet will be at my home, there are two cats that are acclimated to dogs and are very friendly. If you need the dog to be in a crate, please let me know and that’s something we can work out. Otherwise they will be allowed to roam freely onto the couch or bed for cuddles as they please. I will take them on daily walks and feed them based on their schedule. If I will be caring for your pet at your home, I will follow whatever your pet is used to in terms of walking, feeding, being in the crate, or being on furniture.

“Andrea was absolutely excellent with my two kitties. She was super communicative and helpful, and I’ve already booked her again for next time! I felt very comfortable leaving my kitties and my place in her care :)”



About: My name is Carrie, and I want to hang out with your dog. Seriously. I am the parent to two human teens and a senior chiweenie named Suzy, as well as a "grandparent" to a feisty turtle named George. I am from South Carolina, but I've lived in Miami for about twenty-one years now. Growing up, we had chow-chows and a cat at my dad's house, cocker spaniels and golden retrievers as my mom's house. As an adult, I've fostered and adopted mostly mixed-breed dogs from shelters or friends who needed to re-home beloved pets. I have experience walking and sitting with dogs ranging in breed from teacup chihuahuas to Great Danes. I walk dogs full-time for now, so my availability is open. I have a deep love for all dogs - big or small, relaxed or active, young or old - and I can't wait to get to know your precious pet. I'm currently doing pet care full-time, so my schedule is open for your sweet pups. I am available every day from morning to night for walks, drop-ins, and sittings. I only need a day's notice for drop-ins and three days for sittings; and walks can be scheduled same-day! My own little dog is not friendly with other dogs, so I am unable to offer boarding in my home for now, but rest assured that, should you choose my house/pet sitting services, I will care for your darling babies and your home as if they were my own.

About: I am able to care for a variety of furry friends, ranging from puppies to senior dogs. I specialize in Millan-influenced style training that follows respect, obedience, and basic commands! Keeping your pup active, in a safe environment and always loved are my top priorities ☺️ I also offer pet taxi services - if your fur baby happens to have an upcoming vet service or even grooming service, I will happily provide transportation! these options will count as a scheduled ‘Drop in’ visit if you’re interested! 😊 Im currently a med school student but am in the process of transitioning to clinical years so with some extra free time, I am able to tend to your pets needs throughout most times of the day. My schedule does vary depending on the specialty of clerkship I am in, but the details can be sorted out with the needs you and your pets require! I have 2 dogs myself but they currently reside with my parents up north due to me being here for medical school. My pups love to run around and get as much play time as possible so I’m used to the high energy pups!

About: Imagine your dog enjoying a mini-vacation filled with outings and personalized attention. Two daily walks of 45 minutes each plus play time. Comfort at home with a clean, safe environment where all pets are treated as cherished guests. Shampoo, medicines administered (provided by owner). We take care of your pet early in the morning taking them for a walk so they can burn energy and stay relaxed. Second walk is during the after noon before feeding time and the last walk is after their meal so they can rest comfortably We keep the dogs in the open areas of the house and integrate them to our daily activities and play with them. We provide 3 walks that help get the pet relaxed and entertained. Our 2 dogs are trained and are social which is great to keep companionship and playfulness. Our toys are washed before and after every visit to keep then hygienic. During the night time all pets are placed in their cage with water, pipi pad and a proportional size bed. Please let us know your concerns/interest so we can accommodate to your pets needs.

About: Hello my name is May. I believe all animals deserve the best of our respect and care. I am patient, kind and responsible. When I am out at parks dogs prefer to come up to me wagging their tails to say hello even though I'm with someone else. It's probably due to my calm disposition and friendliness. I have taken care of many dogs over the years and have always found it to be a rewarding and fun experience. Dogs especially deserve a caretaker who is warm and friendly. It is rewarding for me to know that I have made a difference in someone's life by taking loving care of a cherished companion as I know how important they are to us as they provide special unconditional love and joy! I am centrally located in Miami therefore I can conveniently travel north or south. I work part-time so I will have plenty of time to care for your animal so they will be completely satisfied. Animals deserve the best treatment. I have a cat that is very friendly in my condo. I have a separate room if your animal requires not to be around pets I can put my cat in my bedroom. I can play with your pets and my cat can play with them as long as I have your approval. I also have dog and cat toys. I provide plenty of fresh water daily. And have 2 covered cat litter boxes which I clean 2x a day. Dogs are taken for walks. I pick up dog litter with a plastic bag. I enjoy sharing my love with cats and dogs.

About: Previous to moving here I worked for a vet clinic and have a lots of experience with pets! I also have had pets my whole life and enjoy their company! I love to go for walks. I work night shift 4 days a week which makes me available mornings, afternoons evenings and weekends. My schedule can be as flexible as needed! I have cared for pets in their homes before and follow the instructions as they are left for me! Lots of love and visits and extra walks!

About: I had two dogs when I was younger. Half a decade ago, I trained and volunteered at the Miami-Dade Animal Shelter, where I recieved extensive dog walking training and experience with dogs off all breeds and sizes. At the shelter, we needed to also learn different animal behavior, and this helped me a lot in noting when dogs don't want to be bothered, signs of stress, etc. I've worked with dogs of every kind: large, small, senior, puppies, ones with little socialization, with behavioral issues, etc. I've been trusted my my friends and family to take care of their pets. Overall, you'll find a loving, experienced, and reliable pet owner with me. I am currently unemployed, as I've been studying for an entrance exam throughout this summer. I am available at any time, any day that I am needed. I will ensure that your pet will stay within the areas in which you'd want them to be. Whether your pet is kept outside or inside, I'll make sure I'll crate them when you'd like me to, and overall keep them safe wherever they are.

I would recommend her 100%!”
