“Lauren was a fantastic dogsitter for Maggie (50-60 Lb German shepherd mix). She has 2 dogs about Maggie’s size that were very friendly and played well with her. She was very accommodating to pickup and drop off times, and made sure to respond to messages quickly. She provided photos and videos throughout the 7 day stay to calm our nerves about our dog, and made sure that our dog felt very at home the whole time. I will absolutely use Lauren for any future dog sitting!”
“What a relief it was to find Lori and family. Our Bella had a wonderful stay and we were supplied with many text messages and photos. I can't recommend Lori highly enough!!! If you are looking for a sitter in her area, I know you will be beyond satisfied!!!”
“Debbie was great with our finicky baby! She took extra time and care to make him feel welcome. Walks and playtime. He had a blast and we will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Shelly was great. She was willing to take on my rambunctious puppy. She sent picture updates and let me know how she was doing. I was able to enjoy my vacation without worrying about my puppy. I would definitely trust her with my puppy the next time I need a sitter.”
“Very happy with Carl and Linda taking care of our Cindy Lou (little dog) while we were on vacation. They only watch one family's pet(s) at a time, meaning it was just them and Cindy, no other dogs which is what she is used to. They took very good care of her and sent us daily updates and pictures. Will definitely have them as Cindy's sitter again if they are available.”
“Amanda and her family were amazing! I could tell Oliver was having so much fun hanging out with her and her kids. She sent lots of pictures so I could gush over him all weekend. Couldn’t ask for a better experience!”
“Amazing amazing amazing!!! We will be re booking everytime with Carla! My dog had the best time and enjoyed every second of his visit! I am so thankful to find a loving and kind family to watch our boy!”
About: I grew up in Burlington, Vermont surrounded by dogs and have had them nearly my entire life. Today I have two Mini Australian Shepherds, Rosie and Chili, who keep me on my toes with their high energy, intelligence, and need for constant engagement. Because of them, I’m very comfortable caring for active breeds that require structured exercise, mental stimulation, and consistent routines. Our days include long walks, outdoor adventures, puzzle toys, tug-of-war, training reinforcement, and plenty of playtime balanced with calm downtime. A fun piece of my background — my mom bred Mini Aussies for six years, and I actually helped deliver and care for many of the litters. From puppies to senior dogs, I understand behavior, body language, and how to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own pack. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because my lifestyle already revolves around my own dogs. Working from home helps a lot with this. I’m active, reliable, and organized, which allows me to provide dependable care whether that means drop-ins, walks, or extended stays. I take time to learn each dog’s personality, routines, triggers, and comfort level before care begins. In a client’s home, I respect established routines to keep pets feeling secure and stress-free. I closely supervise play, use secure leashing practices, and maintain awareness of surroundings during walks. With experience raising high-energy working breeds, I understand the importance of both physical exercise and mental stimulation to prevent anxiety or destructive behavior. I work in sales and constantly have my phone on me. I usually respond immediately unless I am in a meeting.
“If I could give a ten star review, I would! Nancy was super nice. She sent photos daily , kept me up to date on how his stay was going. She responds to messages quickly and made me feel very at ease leaving my dog in her care for several days. She will definitely be getting my dog for future trips where my dog can’t go. Thanks so much to Nancy and her husband! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Angie and her family took wonderful care of Lady. They provided quality care for her while we were on our cruise and kept us up to date with pictures of her throughout the week. Lady seemed so happy and well cared for during the entire trip. We highly recommend her for your fur babies if you are in the Merritt Island area!”
“Dee was such a great host. She made sure Enzo was comfortable and happy. It was a little nerve wracking leaving him during a hurricane, but she calmed my fears and provided constant updates and videos. He loved playing with the other friends he made with at Dee’s house. We will definitely will be using Dee again!! Thank you ❤️”
“Tracey was wonderful with our Pug and English Bulldog! We received pictures nearly daily during their week stay and it was so comforting to see them snuggle on the sofa or in the chair with them providing them the same love we would. I truly appreciated all of Tracey's updates and to see how well she treated our fur-babies really put our hearts and minds at ease. I would highly recommend her!”
“From the very first meet and great we felt so comfortable with Jillian. Such a warm, comfortable environment. She has such a soothing presence. Dakota took right to her. We got wonderful updates and pictures all weekend. Highly recommend and we will absolutely be back.”

“Bethany was fantastic! My cat and I recently made a cross-country move and leaving her alone in a new place for a week made me so anxious (probably more anxious than the cat was). Bethany made sure Mimi had everything she needed and sent me daily updates. 💜”
“So thankful we found Megan. She was extremely helpful checking in on our cats while we were out of the country! Sweet and attentive, she made us feel confident that our babies would be safe and attended to while we were away.”
“Katie provides excellent communication and I feel confident in the care she provides, and provides me peace of mind that me Leela is in great and caring hands while I am out of town.”

About: When I was 8 years old, my mom had me start cat sitting to ensure I was capable of caring for my own. Once I proved myself, I was given my best friend, Roxy. I’ve always been drawn to cats and their vast range of personalities. I’ve worked with spunky cats, shy cats, lazy cats, and so much more. It is truly my mission to make every cat my friend! With me, you can feel safe to leave your baby while you’re out and come back without any worry!
About: Hi, I’m Sophia! I’m 22 and I’m looking for dog walking/sitting opportunities. I have years of experience caring for my own animals and family/friends pets. I have experience with all types of breeds and sizes. I have three years paid experience pet sitting and previously worked as a kennel tech. I would be able to provide pet sitting whether it be check-ins to play with or feed your pet, or overnight boarding as well as walking. I have two dogs who are very friendly and love playing with other dogs as well as a backyard for ur pup to play in! Thank you so much for your consideration and I hope to hear back from you! I am a full time student at UH, but only go to campus two days a week, so I am home basically all the time! I have a fenced backyard and two very friendly dogs who love to play! One is a chihuahua and the other… I’m not sure. I found her about a year ago as a stray but she is a very calm and polite dog.
“Priya provided excellent care for my cat while I was out of town. Her attention to detail, thorough care, great communication, and flexibility made such a difference while being away. Prior to booking, she took the time to fully understand my cat’s needs, typical behaviors, and preferences. She provided consistent updates on my cat’s behaviors and feeding schedule and followed everything to plan, with photos. Arriving home, my cat showed no signs of anxiety and everything in my home was taken care of. I highly recommend her and look forward to utilizing her again, knowing my cat’s care is in great hands!”
About: Aside from referencing my overall experience, I hold a special place in my heart for our often misunderstood feline friends. I have two cats of my own whom I love and care for dearly. Both have very different personalities and expectations from me. I love them all the same and I feel I have a good read on cats as well as dogs.
About: I've owned cats since I was a child, but I first started working with them in a more professional setting when I started volunteering at the Hornell Humane Society. Since 2023 I've rescued 6 cats, and have successfully found loving homes for all of them. It all started with a young grey tabby cat named Katherine, who currently lives with my mothers partner. Last summer I rescued a litter of 5 kittens, 3 boys and 2 girls. I hand raised them from 4 weeks until I found them good homes. I currently own 2 cats, 2 girls named Juniper and Olive Oil! Both were adopted from the Hornell Humane Society in late 2024.

“If you want your animals in great hands, then book Carla. She is amazing with my dog Beau. Her property is nothing short of an animal paradise with huge yard and also goats and her own dogs which are very sweet. She is great with communication and sends me pictures and videos daily while caring for my dog. You know it’s a good sign when your dog gets excited just by pulling into Carla’s driveway. She’s great, I highly recommend!”
“Debbie took great care of our older dog, little Rosie who has separation anxiety (thx to Covid then the recent death of her litter mate) ), we felt very comfortable spending the day at Kennedy space Center right down the street. Nice neighborhood, great house with a doggie door to a fenced-in yard, a ramp to the couch where Rosie can look out the window and wait for us to come back ;) We rec’d updates and pics. We would highly recommend.”
“Shelly is wonderful, she really saved the day when we needed someone to watch Milo for the entire day at the last minute. Milo is very shy but Shelly took great care of him and he seemed to warm up very fast. Also Shelly’s home is doggy paradise!! A big screened sunroom for the dogs to relax and catch some rays and a huge fenced yard for them to run around in and take frequent potty breaks. Thanks Shelly!”

About: I grew up in Burlington, Vermont surrounded by dogs and have had them nearly my entire life. Today I have two Mini Australian Shepherds, Rosie and Chili, who keep me on my toes with their high energy, intelligence, and need for constant engagement. Because of them, I’m very comfortable caring for active breeds that require structured exercise, mental stimulation, and consistent routines. Our days include long walks, outdoor adventures, puzzle toys, tug-of-war, training reinforcement, and plenty of playtime balanced with calm downtime. A fun piece of my background — my mom bred Mini Aussies for six years, and I actually helped deliver and care for many of the litters. From puppies to senior dogs, I understand behavior, body language, and how to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own pack. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because my lifestyle already revolves around my own dogs. Working from home helps a lot with this. I’m active, reliable, and organized, which allows me to provide dependable care whether that means drop-ins, walks, or extended stays. I take time to learn each dog’s personality, routines, triggers, and comfort level before care begins. In a client’s home, I respect established routines to keep pets feeling secure and stress-free. I closely supervise play, use secure leashing practices, and maintain awareness of surroundings during walks. With experience raising high-energy working breeds, I understand the importance of both physical exercise and mental stimulation to prevent anxiety or destructive behavior. I work in sales and constantly have my phone on me. I usually respond immediately unless I am in a meeting.
“Angie and her family took wonderful care of Lady. They provided quality care for her while we were on our cruise and kept us up to date with pictures of her throughout the week. Lady seemed so happy and well cared for during the entire trip. We highly recommend her for your fur babies if you are in the Merritt Island area!”
“Dee was such a great host. She made sure Enzo was comfortable and happy. It was a little nerve wracking leaving him during a hurricane, but she calmed my fears and provided constant updates and videos. He loved playing with the other friends he made with at Dee’s house. We will definitely will be using Dee again!! Thank you ❤️”
“Lori did an excellent job watching my girl. She has a lovely, fenced yard. Torben played with the neighbor dog and went out on her boat to explore the islands! She was on vacation at Lori’s!”
“Jolene was great! Provided us with updates of Mack with photos which puts a pet owners mind at ease especially since we were gone for 10 days. She has other dogs so he got to play and became a part of their family for the time he was there. He may not want to come back because he doesn’t have furry friends to play with just us now. He also got to be on the couch so he was super spoiled. Highly recommend her and her family for your dog and we will definitely.be using her again.”
“Lindsey was amazing treated my 3 dogs like her own. They had such a good time and were exhausted when they got home. Lindsey sent daily pics and videos so we could see them playing and having great time. Would highly recommend.”
“Priya is an amazing sitter and took excellent care of my Pug! She is kind and professional, and made sure Matias was comfortable right from the start. The communication was great and she kept me updated throughout the stay. Highly recommend bringing any pet to Priya and I look forward to seeing her again! Thanks!!”
“Was wonderful with our puppy and even helped us out last minute. Overall a great experience and sent us lots of pictures. Will definitely use again when in the Orlando area!”
About: I fortunately have 6+ years experience working in the veterinary field and I’ve also been pet sitting for 10 years, for close friends, family, neighbors, and colleagues of mine. I can take care of special needs pets, giving oral or injectable medications and changing diapers or applying creams. I got you covered! I’m currently part-time at my job so I have ample time for play dates, walks, sleep overs, whatever your pet care needs may be! I have a large fenced in yard, treats for both dogs and cats, toys for both dogs and cats, and a medium size crate if needed I can provide for those of our furry friends who are crate trained.
