“Kelsie and Grant were very nice people. Their fully fenced property is perfect for our dog who loves to be outside. We needed a stay for just the day. Yoshi was well cared for, and Kelsie kept us up to date with pictures. We could tell he was thoroughly enjoying himself. When we arrived to pick Yoshi up, Kelsie had nothing but nice things to say and that he was welcome anytime. Our dog came home happy and tired from all the playtime. We will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“I can’t thank Thomas & Lyndsay enough for taking such wonderful care of my pet Maluma. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in loving hands. They kept me updated with messages and photos, and it was clear that Maluma was happy, relaxed, and having a great time.I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring pet sitters. I’ll definitely reach out to them again next time I’m away.”
“Summit did a great job watching my dog. She seemed happy and comfortable when I picked her up, and his place is really well set up for dogs, including a large fenced yard with plenty of room to walk around and run. He’s also clearly very knowledgeable about dogs and even worked with her a little on being calmer around cats, which I really appreciated. Overall, I felt very comfortable leaving her with him and would definitely recommend him.”
“I honestly have to say that it was the best choice I did on choosing Francisca to take care of my dog. He was well taken care of and Francisca took the time to always send me pictures and videos of my big boy Mike. When I went to get him he was like if he was in his own home and that shows me that he was well taken care of and that he was given love and care. I will definitely without a doubt use Francisca again.”
About: I have a natural love for animals rooted in my upbringing in the countryside of Cuba. Over the past 6 years, I've cared for dogs of all ages — from energetic puppies to calm adult dogs — always with patience and genuine affection. I love staying active, so daily play and exercise are part of every stay. My home has a large, fenced yard just for dogs, fully equipped with toys and space to run safely. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. Since I'm home full time, I'm able to give dogs consistent attention throughout the day — feeding, playtime, walks, and rest, all on a steady routine. Mornings usually start with a walk or some yard time, followed by feeding and play, with regular check-ins and cuddle time throughout the day. In the evenings, we wind down with a final walk before bedtime. My fenced yard is always available for safe outdoor play whenever the dogs need Pets who stay with me have both a cozy indoor space and a fun outdoor area dedicated just for them. Indoors, I have custom-built dog houses with soft bedding where they can rest and feel safe, plus a designated feeding area with their own bowls. My large, fenced backyard is set up like a little playground — with tire tunnels, cones, and toys for agility-style play, fetch, and plenty of exercise. I make sure every dog gets a good mix of rest, play, and outdoor time throughout the day, all in a safe, secure, and pet-friendly environment.
“If I could leave a 10 star review I would. Gulcin was absolutely fantastic with my dog. She accommodated me at the last minute practically. She did more for my dog than what I asked her to do. She's fantastic with animals, and to see my dog enjoying himself with her gave me so much peace. I am looking forward to having her take care of my dog again in the next few days. She's absolutely fantastic.”
“Ashlee is so kind and accommodating. This is the second time we have had her watch them for over a week. We will definitely book again because we can trust her with our babies”
“Matthew and Samantha take excellent care of Milo, he is exceited when he arrives at their house and is ready to play. Great communication and lots of pictures.”
“Vetra was so good with my dog. She stayed over July 4 and there are a bunch of fireworks which my dog hates and Vetra did her best to comfort Lily. We’ll definitely be using Vetra again.”
“I love them for my puppy! I got updates very often, wasn’t hard at all to get in contact. She knows how to handle dog very well! My dog came back healthy and happy thanks to them! The really helped me while i was away on a business trip. She had other dogs so my dog was able to socialize and be able to get all his energy out bc he’s playing with other dogs! He also picked up a couple of good habits while he was over there! I DEFINITELY TIPPED & I will be returning if i ever need a sitter !”
“We can't thank Maria enough for her kindness and flexibility in accommodating our last-minute request for Pluto's care. From the moment we connected, she was beyond wonderful—thoughtful, responsive, and genuinely caring. She kept us updated throughout the entire reservation with pictures, giving us complete peace of mind. Pluto was clearly happy and well cared for! On top of that, Maria has the most gentle giant of a dog, who made Pluto feel right at home. The experience was seamless, and we truly appreciate her warmth and dedication. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again! Highly recommended!”
“Reggie had a great time staying with Krista! Krista was happy to do a meet & greet before, so I felt comfortable. She kept me updated with daily pictures and was happy to keep him for a few extra hours as my flight was delayed. She was so easy to work with and very responsive. I would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I've been caring for animals since I was 11 years old, and they have always been a very important part of my life. I truly believe pets are some of the most genuine and loving companions we have, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to follow each pet's routine, and I'm very responsible when it comes to feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I'll make sure they receive the attention, affection, and care they deserve. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you're away, knowing your furry family member is safe, happy, and loved. I currently work Monday through Thursday, so my pet sitting availability is: Friday, Saturday & Sunday: Available from 8:00 AM throughout the day, including overnight stays. During these days, I can provide dedicated care, long walks, playtime, feeding, medication (if needed), and lots of love and attention. I always follow each pet's routine and your instructions carefully to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. I'm committed to providing reliable, compassionate care and treating every pet as if they were my own. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I understand how important it is to leave your furry family member with someone you can trust, and I am committed to providing a safe, loving, and stress-free environment. I live in a quiet, pet-friendly gated community that is very safe for dogs to enjoy walks and outdoor breaks. My home is a clean and comfortable townhouse with a fully fenced lanai, providing a secure outdoor space where pets can relax under supervision. At the moment, I don't have any dogs or cats of my own. The only pet in my home is a small semi-aquatic turtle that stays safely in its own enclosed tank. This allows me to give my full attention to the pets in my care while providing a calm environment for those who may not be comfortable around other animals.I have a welcoming home where every pet is treated with patience, affection, and respect. I always follow each owner's care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any special needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with companionship, I'll make sure they receive personalized care and plenty of love. To help you feel connected while you're away, I'll provide regular updates and photos so you can see that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. My goal is for every pet to feel at home and every pet owner to have complete peace of mind.

“Keira was absolutely amazing with our 14 week old Aussiedoodle puppy, Lily. She is very experienced and offered ideas on how to adjust to a rambunctious new addition in our home. Keira was an excellent communicator throughout these past two weeks, never hesitating to reach out if she had any questions or suggestions. We look forward to continuing to use Keira as Lily has grown so fond of her.”
“Velvet is amazing. She took great care of our fur babies and that’s not easy, they are quite spoiled:) So respectful of our home and kept our plants well taken care of. Can’t wait to have her in our home again!!! She’s a keeper for sure! Definitely Recommend!!!!”
About: I am capable of handling dogs of many different sizes and ages. I have a 1/2 acre fenced in property where dogs can either run around freely or be kept on a least. At my home your pet receives near round-the-clock supervision since I am a stay at home parent My schedule is dedicated to pets nearly 100% of the time since I am a stay at home mother. I have three dogs of my own of varying sizes and ages, all with different needs that I maintain as part of my daily routine. I have a 1/2 acre fenced in yard so your dog can run free (though I am happy to keep him on a leash if you are more comfortable). Dogs in my home are generally allowed to climb on furniture or sleep in the bed, but I also have crates available for dogs that may prefer to sleep in one. I have baby gates throughout my home to separate dogs as needed (for example a gate between carpeted and hard floors for dogs who might have potty problems)
About: I graduated from FAMU with a bachelor’s in Animal Science and am a vet technician so you can say that i truly do have a passion for animals. I’ve always loved and have been known for loving animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with lots of animals and pets. I’ve had 5 dogs, including the 4 year old Australian Shepherds I currently have. I also used to have too many to remember amount of cats. Pet care fits very easily into my daily schedule. I currently have open availability, which allows me to provide consistent attention throughout the day for feeding, walks, exercise, enrichment, medications, and any other care needs. I’m also flexible with timing and can adjust my schedule based on the pet’s normal routine. I am a vet technician so I have experience in medically caring for animals and noticing when something is off. I treat every pet like they’re my own!
“We have used Michelle several times now for in-house visits to care for our cat, Luna. Every time it has worked out splendidly. Our cat is usually very shy and timid around "strangers" but she immediately took to Michelle. She has gone above and beyond our expectations and we appreciate the regular photos and status reports. Being separated from your pet can be stressful but we feel much better knowing that Michelle is there and we're sure Luna does too.”
“Very communicative and friendly with the pups. She helped me remove a towel I had placed on top of cage for sun protection but cooper got ahold of it. We booked her last minute because our brother in law who normally takes them out couldn’t. Sanji and cooper loved the company and freedom away from their kennel while their still training puppies. Thank you again Rachel for your communication, feedback, and help!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember, and I truly enjoy working with pets of all kinds. My experience goes far beyond dogs and cats. I have cared for lizards, fed tortoises, maintained freshwater aquariums, and cared for fish. I especially enjoy creating healthy, natural aquarium environments. Give me instructions, and they’ll be followed. I also have experience caring for chickens. With dogs and cats, I’ve raised entire litters of both puppies and kittens, and I’m currently raising a kitten of my own. I have four dogs at home (three Pomeranians and one Chihuahua) and grew up with Labrador Retrievers, so I’m comfortable with both small and large breeds. I also grew up with many cats and am very comfortable caring for them. In addition to caring for my own animals, I have three years of dog walking experience. Whether your pet has fur, feathers, fins, or scales, I understand that every animal has unique needs and deserves patient, attentive care. My goal is always to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! 💚 I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. I’m available most evenings and all weekend, making it easy to accommodate walks and pet sitting. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. I treat every home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions you provide. I know that keeping a familiar routine helps pets feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’ll also make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment based on their personality and needs. 💚
About: I’ve been pet sitting for family and friends since 2019. Never having a fur baby of my one, I give as many belly rubs to the ones I care for to make up for it! Since I WFH, my schedule is very flexible. It’s the perfect set up for midday walks and all day belly rubs! Having a car also allows flexibility so I’m available in various locations. I care for pets by going where they’re most comfortable. I’m happy to go to your home and give your pets the love they deserve while you get the vacay you need!
“I was concerned about leaving the Aussie Posse with a stranger since they are absolutely not used to being around unfamiliar people and the standard size Aussie has designated himself as the house protector. To my delight Olivia handled the situation perfectly. She greeted him calmly and then basically ignored him until he and the others calmed down. The second day went better. And by day 3 they were practically old friends. One of my other dogs is shy and didn't want to eat. She changed his feeding location in order to give him space, and pretty much ignored him for a couple days. By the end of her time with us he was finishing his meal and even playing ball with her in the yard. We are extremely happy with the service she provided, would definitely hire her again and would strongly recommend her to others in need of pet sitting services. She's the BEST!!”
About: I have owned dogs most my life and even owned a variety of other animals like fish, bunnies, and guinea pigs. I also currently have 2 dogs of my own and have also done dog training with dogs I've owned in the past. Im friendly with a great work ethic and even have some training and knowledge with a variety of household pets. I am able to care for others fur babies while my 3 children are in school from the hours of 8-2. I can also be pretty flexible. I have some dog training knowledge, as well as a decent amount of knowledge on a variety of animals, and im also bilingual speaking English and Spanish.
About: I have taken care of cats for as long as I can remember! My first kitty, Ginger, was brought into my family before I was born, and passed of old age around when I was 8. A few years later, I was able to convince my mom to let me have not only one, but two. A brother and sister, Jack and Licorice, respectively. They were my pride and joy, until recently a few years ago Jack, who out lived Licorice, passed sway, but thankfully was a peaceful, harmless death of old age. Since a child, I was always in charge of the litter box, knowing all the steps that go into ensuring its freshness and comfortability for the furry babies to use. I did have another experience later in life where I learned a lot when one of my best friends had a kitten, Bhodie that had a suddenly rare condition he could not use his back legs. With this, I would help her put diapers on him and help him pee manually until his passing. I would be so grateful to be in the presence and take care of the duties for kittens and cats, as it is something I am well experienced on, and miss spending time with so much!!
About: I know cats have their own rules. Some want attention, some want space, and my job is to read which one it is. I’ve cared for cats through friends and family, so I’m comfortable with everything from a lap cat to a shy one who needs time to warm up. Since I don’t have pets of my own, your cat gets my undivided attention with zero competition!
“Really nice! She accepted the request when it was a very short notice. She sent pictures of our cat when we would want to check up on him, and we didn’t have to worry about our cat while we took care of some family business in another city.”
About: I have been caring and having a love for animals at all my young life it has taught me everything I need to know on how to handle and show love to cats and dogs! I will love and care for your animals just like I do mine they are my 3rd and 4th furbabies🐶🐱. I occasionally weekend sit for a golden retriever , we go on walks , snuggle and watch movies and play. I do have multiple references as well. I can do weekend sleepovers daily visits and you saying that is needed to keep the family at peace while they are out of town. I have administered vitamins and cbd oil to a few dogs for anxiety, storms etc. Thank you for your time! I do have multiple dog/cat families that I care for. I also have 6 cats at home that I care for. Currently this is what I do for work. I mostly take care of your pets in your home that way your animals are comfortable in their own setting. Especially if you have a dog and have a fenced yard,I find that more helpful.

“Destiny is a wonderful pet sitter who takes excellent care of my furry babies! When I first met her, I got an excellent first impression. She is very sweet, friendly and was great with my pets! Destiny made sure our pets were well taken cared off, walked my dog Clover and made sure the two babies ate. When she bought them back home after the daycare, our pets were relaxed and happy. I absolutely book her again! Her & her siblings are the sweetest! ♥️”
“Neysha and family treated my pup very well. Lots of playtime indoors and out. My pup was a weekend overnight stay. She came back in great condition, happy and content. Highly recommend Neysha!”

About: I grew up taking care of, owning, and helping raise all kinds of different dogs. Great Danes, puggles, pit bulls, and small dogs like terriers and shitzu’s. I have always been the one friends and family have called to look after their pets while they’re gone. I love them like they’re my own and go above and beyond to make sure they’re comfortable when their parents aren’t around! I have had the blessing of being able to work from home Monday, Wednesdays, Thursday’s, and Fridays with weekends off. The only day i am unavailable during the week is Tuesdays! I want to fill my free time with something I love! I have a very large fenced in yard and we do have one dog of our own who is extremely friendly to keep your fur baby company but if you’d feel more comfortable keeping them separate I am easily able to do that as well as he has a dog bed in my daughters room that he loves being in.
About: I've spent many years caring for dogs and cats through animal rescue and fostering, working with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My experience includes puppies and kittens, seniors, shy and anxious pets, and animals with special medical or behavioral needs. I'm comfortable giving medications when needed, following detailed care instructions, and making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I understand that every pet is unique, and I treat each one with the same patience, compassion, and attention I'd want for my own. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I already spend a lot of time caring for animals throughout the day. I’m used to building my schedule around feeding, cleaning, playtime, and monitoring pets’ health and behavior. I’m organized and flexible, so I can adjust my day to make sure each pet gets consistent attention and care. Whether it’s daily drop-ins or scheduled visits, I prioritize being dependable and on time so pets stay comfortable and owners have peace of mind. In the owner’s home, I follow all instructions closely to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, clean litter boxes or potty breaks, and plenty of attention based on their personality and comfort level. I’m careful to maintain their routine so they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. If caring for pets in my home, I would provide a calm, supervised environment, separate from my own pets if needed, and ensure they have a quiet, stress-free space with consistent care, attention, and supervision throughout their stay.
“Jennifer and her family were so welcoming of our sweet girl. We have never boarded before and were very concerned & skeptical of just dropping her off with someone we didn’t know. Jennifer made this process very easy for us and responded to text/calls promptly. She was well taken care of and we were certainly pleased. Gypsy will definitely be returning in the future. Thank you so much Jennifer!!!”

“Allie was an amazing dog walker and very kind to my senior friend who I was getting dog walking for. She looked out for him and told me when he needed more support! I can’t even begin to say how grateful I was that I chose her out of the three people available at that time. It wasn’t just that she gave five star service, she gave service from the bottom of her heart! The dog who is a little uncomfortable with strangers, felt right at home with her, and she was even able to take her to the groomers and take care of all her needs.”
About: I have had dogs all of my life. I am adept at training even the most challenging breeds. I am comfortable with all dog breeds as long as the pet is friendly. I used to foster dogs and was active in the Humane Society prior to having kids. I now have a 3-acre fenced property that is perfect to host dogs while their owners are away. I have a lab mix (very friendly) who we love throwing the ball for and have room for more! I have a flexible work schedule and am able to accommodate pets. I have plenty of outdoor space and provide plenty of exercise by throwing the ball and going on walks. I have a 3-acre fenced property with goats, chickens, and a senior lab. There are plenty of trees and shade and lots to do. The goats and chickens are contained in another pasture. The lab is friendly and loves company. I am able to accommodate walks, crating, or any other special requests.

With dogs and cats, I’ve raised entire litters of both puppies and kittens, and I’m currently raising a kitten of my own. I have four dogs at home (three Pomeranians and one Chihuahua) and grew up with Labrador Retrievers, so I’m comfortable with both small and large breeds. I also grew up with many cats and am very comfortable caring for them. In addition to caring for my own animals, I have three years of dog walking experience. Whether your pet has fur, feathers, fins, or scales, I understand that every animal has unique needs and deserves patient, attentive care. My goal is always to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! 💚 I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. I’m available most evenings and all weekend, making it easy to accommodate walks and pet sitting. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. I treat every home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions you provide. I know that keeping a familiar routine helps pets feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’ll also make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment based on their personality and needs. 💚
About: I have recently started sitting dogs despite having them for years as a child. I didn't gain much experience as I was young; however, I am comfortable with playing with, feeding, bathing, walking, and administering oral medicine to dogs via treats! 😂 I absolutely love animals and am more than willing to help take care of them in any way I can! I would love to take care of your animals at any time however I run a packed schedule!! I coach volleyball at a local high school in the afternoons so please message me to see if I can properly suit your needs! I am very respectful of people's privacy and property. In a client's home I stay in the designated living area unless given prior permission to enter other areas of the house. I am more than willing to walk and play with your dogs or simply keep them company! Please let me know if your pet has certain walking paths, feeding procedures, or care needs so I can offer them maximum comfort!
About: I’ve been pet sitting for family and friends since 2019. Never having a fur baby of my one, I give as many belly rubs to the ones I care for to make up for it! Since I WFH, my schedule is very flexible. It’s the perfect set up for midday walks and all day belly rubs! Having a car also allows flexibility so I’m available in various locations. I care for pets by going where they’re most comfortable. I’m happy to go to your home and give your pets the love they deserve while you get the vacay you need!
“Amy was so good with my boy and punctual with her appointment. Sent me many photos and was very helpful for me and my busy schedule. Will use again. Highly recommend. 13/10”
About: I’ve always loved dogs, currently have an old pup and excited to meet your fur friends and help take care of your dog(s)! The world is just a better place with dogs and I’ve always felt that way. I’d be happy to help show your pets attention and support where it is needed, as I’ve always had a dog and been the “go to” person to watch a friend or families pet while they’re away. I’m a full time working, single mother with some flexibility in my schedule daily. I own a home with a fenced in yard and have two kids who love pets just as much as me. We also have an 8 year old yellow lab at home, Kate. I enjoy walks and runs so happy to add that into my day and help. I have a fenced in yard and a yellow lab who is friendly with other pets and happy to have a friend over. My children and I absolute enjoy having fur friends over, and helping take care of them.
About: I’ve been around pets my entire life, dogs of all ages and cats of all ages! I’ve owned tortoises and lizards and also snakes! I’m an overall animal lover💕 I currently work as a 1099 contractor so my schedule is up to me, and that makes it easier for me to be available to you. I live in an apartment with no fence but I am able to take dogs on as many walk as possible and also live directly across from a dog friendly park. I can care for pets in your home however you need me to as to not affect your pets routine.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently care for three of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I work a part-time job, which gives me plenty of flexibility to include pet care in my daily routine. I’m able to plan my schedule around walks, drop-ins, and quality time with pets I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for whether they’re in my home or their own. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions. I also give them plenty of attention, monitor their behavior, and keep their space clean and stress-free.
About: I've spent many years caring for dogs and cats through animal rescue and fostering, working with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My experience includes puppies and kittens, seniors, shy and anxious pets, and animals with special medical or behavioral needs. I'm comfortable giving medications when needed, following detailed care instructions, and making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I understand that every pet is unique, and I treat each one with the same patience, compassion, and attention I'd want for my own. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I already spend a lot of time caring for animals throughout the day. I’m used to building my schedule around feeding, cleaning, playtime, and monitoring pets’ health and behavior. I’m organized and flexible, so I can adjust my day to make sure each pet gets consistent attention and care. Whether it’s daily drop-ins or scheduled visits, I prioritize being dependable and on time so pets stay comfortable and owners have peace of mind. In the owner’s home, I follow all instructions closely to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, clean litter boxes or potty breaks, and plenty of attention based on their personality and comfort level. I’m careful to maintain their routine so they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. If caring for pets in my home, I would provide a calm, supervised environment, separate from my own pets if needed, and ensure they have a quiet, stress-free space with consistent care, attention, and supervision throughout their stay.

About: I grew up with dogs at home so caring for them feels second nature. I’ve learned to read their moods, know when they need a walk versus a nap, and to keep a calm but enjoyable presence. I’m comfortable with dogs of any size or energy level, from chill seniors to super energetic puppies. I treat every pet like my own. ❤️ I work as a server, so my schedule shifts week to week rather than following a set routine. But that actually works in my favor for pet care. My days off are usually Wednesday and Thursday, and outside of shifts I have plenty of flexible time to check in, walk, and play. I’m happy to work around your pet’s needs rather than the other way around! I don’t have pets of my own right now, which means your dog/cat gets my full attention with no other animals competing for it. I have a fenced yard, so there’s a safe space for off-leash play and bathroom breaks without worrying about them wandering off. I treat every home and every pet with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.

“Kelsie and Grant were very nice people. Their fully fenced property is perfect for our dog who loves to be outside. We needed a stay for just the day. Yoshi was well cared for, and Kelsie kept us up to date with pictures. We could tell he was thoroughly enjoying himself. When we arrived to pick Yoshi up, Kelsie had nothing but nice things to say and that he was welcome anytime. Our dog came home happy and tired from all the playtime. We will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“I can’t thank Thomas & Lyndsay enough for taking such wonderful care of my pet Maluma. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in loving hands. They kept me updated with messages and photos, and it was clear that Maluma was happy, relaxed, and having a great time.I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring pet sitters. I’ll definitely reach out to them again next time I’m away.”
“Summit did a great job watching my dog. She seemed happy and comfortable when I picked her up, and his place is really well set up for dogs, including a large fenced yard with plenty of room to walk around and run. He’s also clearly very knowledgeable about dogs and even worked with her a little on being calmer around cats, which I really appreciated. Overall, I felt very comfortable leaving her with him and would definitely recommend him.”
“I honestly have to say that it was the best choice I did on choosing Francisca to take care of my dog. He was well taken care of and Francisca took the time to always send me pictures and videos of my big boy Mike. When I went to get him he was like if he was in his own home and that shows me that he was well taken care of and that he was given love and care. I will definitely without a doubt use Francisca again.”
About: I have a natural love for animals rooted in my upbringing in the countryside of Cuba. Over the past 6 years, I've cared for dogs of all ages — from energetic puppies to calm adult dogs — always with patience and genuine affection. I love staying active, so daily play and exercise are part of every stay. My home has a large, fenced yard just for dogs, fully equipped with toys and space to run safely. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. Since I'm home full time, I'm able to give dogs consistent attention throughout the day — feeding, playtime, walks, and rest, all on a steady routine. Mornings usually start with a walk or some yard time, followed by feeding and play, with regular check-ins and cuddle time throughout the day. In the evenings, we wind down with a final walk before bedtime. My fenced yard is always available for safe outdoor play whenever the dogs need Pets who stay with me have both a cozy indoor space and a fun outdoor area dedicated just for them. Indoors, I have custom-built dog houses with soft bedding where they can rest and feel safe, plus a designated feeding area with their own bowls. My large, fenced backyard is set up like a little playground — with tire tunnels, cones, and toys for agility-style play, fetch, and plenty of exercise. I make sure every dog gets a good mix of rest, play, and outdoor time throughout the day, all in a safe, secure, and pet-friendly environment.
“If I could leave a 10 star review I would. Gulcin was absolutely fantastic with my dog. She accommodated me at the last minute practically. She did more for my dog than what I asked her to do. She's fantastic with animals, and to see my dog enjoying himself with her gave me so much peace. I am looking forward to having her take care of my dog again in the next few days. She's absolutely fantastic.”

He also picked up a couple of good habits while he was over there! I DEFINITELY TIPPED & I will be returning if i ever need a sitter !”

On top of that, Maria has the most gentle giant of a dog, who made Pluto feel right at home. The experience was seamless, and we truly appreciate her warmth and dedication. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again! Highly recommended!”
“Reggie had a great time staying with Krista! Krista was happy to do a meet & greet before, so I felt comfortable.
