About: Animals have been a part of my life since childhood, and caring for them has continued to be a huge part of my life as an adult. Today, my own animal family includes two dogs, two outdoor cats, and a myriad of other types of animals. Having such a variety of animals has given me years of hands-on experience with feeding routines, exercise, basic grooming, medication, monitoring behavior, and recognizing when an animal just doesn't seem like themselves. My experience these animals has also taught me a great deal about patience, consistency, reading animal body language, and respecting each animal's individual personality and boundaries. At home, I have two friendly dogs as well as young children, so safety and compatibility are extremely important to me. For services that take place in my home, I'm selective about the dogs I accept and prefer friendly, family-oriented dogs that are comfortable around children and other dogs. I want every stay to be safe, relaxed, and enjoyable for my family, my pets, and yours. I'm happy to follow your pet's established routine and provide plenty of updates and photos. I understand how much trust you're placing in someone when you leave an animal you love in their care, and I want you to feel comfortable knowing they're receiving attentive, affectionate care while you're away. Pet care is already a natural part of my everyday routine! With two dogs, two cats, fish, and other types of animals of my own, my days already revolve around feeding, checking in on animals, exercise, cleaning, and making sure everyone is happy and healthy. My schedule has flexibility that allows me to offer your pet the daily care and attention they need in my home. I’m also a mom, so I’m used to managing routines, schedules, and lots of moving pieces! I only accept bookings that comfortably fit into my schedule so I can give each pet the time and attention they deserve rather than overbooking myself. For pets staying in my home, my priority is creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I have two dogs and young children, so I’m selective about the dogs I accept. Dogs staying with us must be friendly, comfortable around children, and get along well with other dogs. I’ll follow your pet’s normal feeding schedule, potty routine, medications, and other care instructions as closely as possible. They’ll receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and opportunities to relax and feel at home. I’m also happy to send photos and updates throughout their stay so you can see how they’re doing. I only accept dogs that I feel will be a good match for our household, and I won’t overbook. I want every dog staying with us to receive individual attention while keeping the environment safe and peaceful for both our family and our pets.
“Nancy is AMAZINGGG, we loved her!!!!!! Never ever ever leaving my dog with anyone else but her from now on! She constantly sent us photos of our baby while we were away ❤️ Thank you Nancy!!!!”
“Quiero agradecer a la Sra Maria,por su dedicada atención, para con nuestra ,perrita Coco,su atención y esmero, me hacen recomendarla ampliamente! Nos envió fotos y videos diariamente de como se encontraba y eso nos dio mucha tranquilidad.”
“Marcy is AWESOME!!! Rocco's vacations on Marcy's home was phenomenal. While traveling, we received a bunch of pictures, videos, and daily news about Roccos' routine. We never felt we had left Rocco in someone else house due to Marcy took care of Rocco as we desired. He did enjoy that much until we had doubts if he'd want to go back home with us... HAHAHAHA! Now, since we got back home and are calmer, we definitely wouldn't think twice once we have to take vacations or we get something to do out of town... we do know for sure that we've found a good company for him, an excellent dog sitter, but over all things a great pet-lovers in Marcy's family. Thanks, Marcy & Family once again for making Rocco's week was unforgettable! See you soon :D”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received! paula was professional, punctual, and truly went above and beyond. They kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog seemed happy, well-exercised, and clearly bonded with them.”

Se sentirán alegres de estar con nosotros
““I recently had my dog stay with Mia, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. My pup came home happy and relaxed, and it was clear that he was well cared for. Mia was super communicative, sent plenty of photo updates, and made sure I knew how my dog was doing each day. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!””
“It was my first time using person to watch one of my dogs. It was definitely a first time for my 5 month year old dog. He had a great time! Daysy and her family made it a great experience. She truly loves animals and it isn’t just gig for her. I will definitely use her again and would recommend her for your dog care needs.”
“Susana was great. Took the time to get to know Bell and was very attentive to her while keeping us updated on her settling in. Bell is very anxious so the attention was appreciated.”
“Arlin took such great care of my dog Louie. She was communicative and sent pictures daily. I felt such ease and peace knowing Louie was being taken care of in a loving environment. My dog can easily get anxious and homesick but Arlin gave him lots of attention and care. I will definitely be using Arlin again during our next vacation.”

I’ve taken care of many neighbors/ friend’s pets as well, at my house and theirs. Being a working from home mom I can also do drop ins at your home to check your pup is ok and let out during the day. I also offer doggy day care at my home, so your pup never needs to be alone.

“Kevin and his partner have been nothing short of AMAZING. I would leave my Hailey with them in a heartbeat. They have a nice backyard that she was happily playing in and enjoying herself. We were getting pictures and videos all the time. We could not be more appreciative”
“Andrea was marvelous. I have no words to express how grateful Im for all the love she gave my little one. She was constantly sending me pictures and d videos. She gave tips about housebreaking. I felt like I knew her all my life. However best testimony I can give Prince was happy to see me but wanted to go back inside. That only means he was treated like a Prince. THANK YOU ANDREA!!!!”

Carolina was absolutely wonderful! Communication was great throughout the entire stay, and she sent me pictures each day throughout the day. You can truly tell how much she loves animals. She took care of Mando with so much love and attention, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We’re so grateful for her care and would absolutely trust her with Mando again. Highly recommend! ❤️🐾
Patty was amazing with watching our dog, Midnight! She was incredibly attentive and listened to all of our concerns. Midnight can be wary around new people, and Patty never tried to force him into anything. Instead, she was patient and let him warm up to her at his own pace. She provided amazing updates and pictures throughout the stay and kept us informed about everything going on. It really made us feel like Midnight wasn’t so far away from us! Over time, Midnight started opening up to Patty and ended up loving being with her. I’m so glad I chose Patty to care for Midnight. She made the whole experience so much easier and gave us peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely be using her again in the future! ❤️
Quiero agradecerle de corazón a Myriam por cuidar tan bien de Tommy, mi viejito hermoso. ❤️🐶 Se nota el cariño, la paciencia y la dedicación con la que lo trata, y para nosotros no hay nada más importante que saber que está en buenas manos y que lo cuidan con tanto amor. Tommy es parte de nuestra familia, y encontrar a alguien que lo cuide con tanta ternura y atención nos da muchísima tranquilidad. Gracias, Myriam, por hacerlo sentir querido, seguro y acompañado. ¡Sin duda, la recomendamos con los ojos cerrados!
Ha sido una de las mejores experiencias para merlin! Siempre se sintio como en casa , le dieron muchisimo amor y muchisimas fotos para yo sentirme mas tranquila. Voy a seguir dejando a merlin ya que es de muchisima ayuda para nosotros y lo mas importante es que mi perrito se sintio mas acompañado que nunca! Gracias nati!!! Eres la mejor
Sara was absolutely wonderful with Potter! She took such great care of him while we were away and sent us regular updates, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was happy and being well cared for. We ended up having a major flight delay on our way home, and Sara was incredibly accommodating and made sure Potter was taken care of for longer than we had originally planned. We were so grateful to know he was in such good hands, especially during an already stressful travel day. She was reliable, communicative, kind, and clearly genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We would absolutely book with Sara again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Yoadi and her family were absolutely amazing with Benji! 🥹🐾 I felt so comfortable knowing he was in such loving and caring hands while I was away. They treated him like part of their own family, kept me updated, and I could tell Benji felt right at home with them. 💕 I’m so grateful for the love and attention they gave him. I would 100% trust them with my baby again. Thank you so much, Yoadi & family! 🫶🏽🐶
Rocio was completely AWESOME with my dog, Brooklyn. My wife and I were shocked when Brooklyn, who had never stood with someone other than family took to Rocio as if she were family herself. Not only was she friendly from the very first time we met her, but she understood all my wife’s fears, so Rocio sent updates about Brooklyn to ease my wife’s mind as we were on vacation, and both pick up & drop off went without a hitch. Rocio and her husband both treated Brooklyn like family and I will not hesitate to book her again. You will not go wrong if you book with Rocio.
Our whippet, Nikita, has stayed with Angela a few times now and they’ve all been a wonderful experience! Nikita is always so excited and happy to see Angela, she feels right at home when she’s dropped off. Angela takes such great care of Nikita and lets us know how she’s doing during our stay. We feel comfortable having our pup stay with Angela and know she’s getting all the love and care.

Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
