I recently met Arianna after I hired her to watch my two cats while I was away on vacation and I could not have been happier with the care she provided. She went above and beyond to make sure they were well taken care of and loved while I was gone. I would absolutely hire her again in the future. 10/10 recommend. She’s the best!

About: I've been surrounded by dogs since I was born, from large mutts, to schnauzers, to chihuahas. I have a senior yorkie at home with dementia, whom I bathe, take on walks and orally medicate. I have experience caring for puppies as well. I adore dogs, and will take care of yours like it's my own! I am also bilingual and fluent in Spanish. :) I can come at any time, any day. I am home from college, so I have full availability! I am open and flexible with scheduling. I am 100% dedicated to your dog and their wellbeing. I am able to bathe, exercise and cuddle your dog if needed. My dog at home suffers from dementia and is partly deaf and blind; I know how to be sanitary, patient, and care for dogs who are older, disabled, or vulnerable.

Priscilla accommodated a last-minute request, which we were incredibly appreciative of. Our Casper was so well taken care of she was extremely punctual, attentive to his needs, and so loving and patient with him. She spent quality time with him, and you could truly tell he enjoyed her company. We greatly appreciated the care she provided, as well as how respectful she was of our home. She was very responsive throughout the entire experience and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. She was amazing, and we highly recommend her! We are thankful we found her!

Xiomara (Mara) is an excellent sitter. She dropped in to check on our cat while we were gone for a week. She sent us pictures and videos every day and kept everything clean, food and water refilled. She played with him and gave him treats. He loved her! Highly recommend!

About: Hi! I’ve been caring for pets for family friends and friends for around 3 years and have also helped foster animals with my family over the years. I love spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or extra cuddles, I’m always happy to lend a helping paw 🐾 and treat your pet like one of my own! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I only have school two days a week and work mornings five days a week for about 5–6 hours, which leaves me plenty of time during the second half of the day to give pets the attention and care they need. I start my mornings early by walking and feeding my dog and making sure he’s comfortable and taken care of before I head out. After work, usually around 4 or 5, I spend more time with him, including another walk and making sure he stays happy and active. I also do a final walk later at night around 10 or 11. Since I spend a lot of time at home and in my apartment, caring for animals fits really well into my schedule, and I’d be happy to make your pet part of that routine too I treat pets like family and believe they deserve love, patience, and genuine care. To me, animals are more than just pets, they’re living creatures with their own personalities, feelings, and things that bring them happiness, whether that’s a favorite toy, a walk, or simply spending time with someone they trust. I make sure pets are cared for responsibly by giving them the right amount of food, keeping up with exercise and playtime, and paying attention to what helps them feel safe and comfortable. My goal is always to make sure pets are happy, healthy, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind too

Natalie went above and beyond in caring for my two Frenchies, each with their own unique needs. She not only met those needs but also went the extra mile to ensure their safety with minimal instructions. When my elevator broke down, she carried one of my Frenchies down the stairs and even found someone to assist her, demonstrating incredible resourcefulness and kindness. She also cleaned their food bowls out of her own concern because there was construction dust falling into it. Natalie treated them like family. I couldn’t have asked for a better stranger to take care of my babies. Thank you Natalie

About: I know how important it is to feel completely at peace leaving your pet with someone else and that’s what I aim to give you! I’ve loved animals since I was a little girl and will treat your dog with the same love and care that I give my dog! You’ll always get updates, photos, and check-ins. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved! I work full time but work from home Fridays. I’m looking to occupy weekends only with pet care and giving them exercise and play time. I will take time to learn your pets routine and give them a safe environment. I follow feeding and walking schedules so your pets day feels familiar. I make sure they get lots of attention and patience especially if they’re feeling anxious!

About: Hi! Let me take care of your family while you’re at work or on vacation. You can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. He/she will have lots of loving care. There is a lot of space for your pet to be inside or outside. I can send you pictures and updates of your pet to make you more at ease.

About: I recently graduated from FIU and have always loved being around animals. I grew up with two family dogs, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. I also previously worked at a dog daycare/boarding facility, where I gained hands on experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m very patient, attentive, and reliable, and I genuinely enjoy making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medications, overnight care, and keeping up with specific routines your pet may need. I’m also very communicative and make sure owners get regular updates and photos throughout the stay so they always know their pet is in good hands. My schedule is very flexible, so I’m available for weekdays, weekends, mornings, evenings, and last minute bookings when needed. I have the time to give pets plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day, and I’m happy to work around different routines and schedules to make things easy and stress free for both pets and owners. When I care for pets in their own home, I’ll stick to your usual routine so your pet feels comfortable and safe. I’ll make sure doors and gates are secure and keep an eye out for anything that could be unsafe. I’ll keep things tidy and make sure your pet has fresh water, playtime, and attention. Most importantly, I’ll treat your home and your pet with respect ;)

About: I am a current 4th year medical student and prior pet owner looking to help take care for, walk, or simply check in on your beloved pet. Given my free time now this year, pet care fits into my schedule in whatever capacity my clients need me. I would love to walk your pet but am also open to going over for feedings if your out of town or simply checking in on them in an emergency. I am most comfortable in walking, light cleaning, feedings, as well as house sitting or having your beloved pet over at my house while you are out of town.

About: I have been doing sitting for 2 years. I am trusted by family friends and neighbors to walk, feed, and okay with their dogs. I have dog sat a variety of dogs ranging from big to small. Hello! I hold a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences and currently work full time as a teacher assistant. Outside of work, I dedicate most of my time to caring for my dog—she’s my constant companion, whether we’re running errands or visiting places like Disney World. I understand how important pets are to their families, and I’ll provide your dog with the same level of care, attention, and respect that I give my own. I have a fenced backyard and live in a dog-friendly community. I also have two friendly dogs who love the company of other pups and help keep playtime active and engaging.

Andrea was great! She cared for our dog and cat for a weekend while we were away. Our senior pup needs daily medications and she always confirmed that he took them and reported what he ate. The cat is young and needs lots of playtime, which Andrea provided. I’d be happy to book her again!

Kristel was absolutely wonderful with my dog Pepper! Pepper can be quite stubborn and is usually hesitant around new people, but Kristel’s patience and genuine care completely won her over. From the very beginning, Kristel showered Pepper with love and attention, taking time to let her warm up and always making sure she felt comfortable. I received regular updates and adorable photos, and it was clear that Pepper was relaxed, happy, and truly in the best hands. When I returned home, Pepper was her usual cheerful self, maybe even a bit better behaved! I’m so grateful for Kristel’s dedication and kindness. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for your pup as much as you do! Thank you, Kristel, for taking such amazing care of Pepper!
