“Arianna was absolutely wonderful and took amazing care of my fur baby, Olivia. It was a pleasure to have her watch my Olivia while I went away for the weekend.”

“My cats loved her and she was very responsive!”


3. Carolina F.

“Carolina has gone way beyond her call of duty. Thank you a million times! Both Sushi and Luna have been very fortunate to have met this dynamic duo! She was an excellent communicator and kept us informed of every detail regarding the fur babies. She and her helper were nice enough to hand feed one of the fur babies because he hadn’t eaten well the prior feeding. Thank you for an awesome experience!! Blessings to you and your family in the New Year!”


4. Isabella G.

“Isabella is an absolute gem! She is reliable, caring, and truly loves the dogs she works with. My pups always came back happy and well-exercised after her walks. She goes above and beyond, making sure my dogs gets the attention and care they need, and I love the updates she provides. It gives me such peace of mind knowing my furry friend is in great hands. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and dedicated dog walker, Isabella is the best choice!””


5. Deborah B.

“Absolutely fantastic! Deborah took care of our kitties like they were her own (and even brought in our packages, which was so nice!) while we were traveling. We will absolutely be asking her to watch our cats again!”


6. Yanci R.

“Yanci was amazing for me and my doggos! She’s very communicative and sends photos and her times in and out with details of her walk route. One of my dogs is very shy and she has no problem with Yanci :) we will definitely be using her again!”


7. Rachel P.


“We left our kitty in good hands. Rachel took good care of our cat for the 5 days we were away. We will definitely have her watch our pets again in the future.”


8. Ivette A.
About: I’ve been a dog owner since I was 15 years old. I’ve had my chihuahua for 14 years. I am used to giving medicine and medical care to any kind of dog. I am currently working from home so I’m usually always home. This gives me a flexible schedule that can revolve around your pets needs or comfort. I have a big yard that I could take them out in to let them run around and I could also do any daily walks around the neighborhood.




9. Carrie R.
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.


10. Raquel T.

“Raquel was on time and followed our care plan perfectly. She visited twice for us so far and we’re very happy for her dedication to our puppy girl!”


11. Ricardo M.

“This is my second time using Ricardo and Carlos to check in on my cat when out of town and just as last time they provided excellent service. Very quick to respond to any messages and provided nice daily photos of the visit. I highly recommend using them.”


12. Isabella P.
About: I have taken care of family & friends pets for years now. I have a cat of my own that I have raised for over 4 years! I love to play and look after all pets. I will make sure to love, protect, and look after your pet. My schedule is flexible to step aside and take care of your pet. I will occasionally travel and will make sure to update my availability. I am responsible, dependent, and detail oriented when looking after your pet. I will make sure to follow all instructions. If you ever have any questions or concerns feel free to ask.


13. Gabriela A.
“Gabriela is an incredible pet sitter who genuinely cares for animals. When my dog had a broken leg, she took care of him for two weeks while I was away, ensuring he was comfortable, administering his medication, and following his care plan perfectly. Her patience, reliability, and natural ability to bond with animals put me completely at ease. I returned to a happy, well-cared-for pup, and I couldn’t recommend Gabriela more highly for anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like family.”


14. Andrea D.

“Andrea was great. She communicated with us everyday. She asked any questions and kept us informed. We really appreciated her work and will definitely book her again.”


15. Mercedes M.
“Mercy took great care of our dog, Cash, for a week while we were out of town. She treated Cash as if he were part of her family. Throughout the week she sent pictures and messages letting us know how he was doing. It was such a relief to know he was ok and in good hands. I would 100% recommend Mercy to anyone seeking a dog sitter. Her love for these animals is evident. It was truly a pleasure. Thank you Mercy!”


16. Havana P.
“Havana is a natural with animals and every one I've seen her interact with has loved her. Her dog Gracie is so loved and Havana is extremely responsible with taking her on walks every day and making sure she gets her energy out. Havana is also great with my cat and has watched him for me without any issues, he completely adores her.”


17. Maria B.

“María es muy buena con los perritos, es paciente y amorosa lo que necesitas cuando cuidan a tu mascota , tuvimos unos errores de horario pero de resto todo excelente, muy agradecida por el trato que le dió a Max 🙏”




18. Angela D.

“Angela is a wonderful communicator and an obvious pet-lover! She sent awesome updates with lots of pics that really reassured us that our pets were doing great while we were away. She played with our kitties and got them all to eat together (which is not as easy as it sounds lol). Would highly recommend Angela and we will definitely be booking with her again soon!”


19. Sandra M.
“Awesome, I am always busy with work and ever since my sister went to Alabama, I"ve been trying to find a good dog sitter. At first, I was obviosuly skeptical since I didn't want to leave my pup with just anyone. Let me tell you he's been the happiest ever since my sister left (as I mentioned, I couldn't spend time with him because of work) every time I dropped him off, he wiggle his tail at the door so that was a good sign. I recommend her with my eyes closed. I am glad my puppy has been greatly taken care of!”
