Personalized care for your dog or cat - Elkton
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Elkton
“Tracy is a wonderful caretaker. This was Rosie’s first time with her. Tracy really focused on my dog, and spent time with her to make sure was happy and having fun. She left me a lot of updates to reassure me throughout the day. I know my dog was well taken care of and had fun at her home.”
“As long as Bridget and her family are on this app, I know I can travel at peace knowing my baby is being loved on! Shes a great communicator and very easy going! Hunter jumps out of the car when we drop him off and is WIPED from his fun vacation when we get him home!”
“Thank you so much for taking good care of Charley! We received plenty of pictures and feedback about how our doggy was doing. We’ll definitely book with Rachel again.”
“So we needed Christine again, and she was awesome again. We had a delay due to this government shutdown with our flight and could not get home for an extra day, she was able to keep the dogs an extra day, no issues. She also sent tons of pictures over thier stay, saw that our 1 dog had a loose molar and informed us immediately, she is very observant and very caring to our dogs. If you ever need a sitter and she is available, hands down she is your sitter. I dread using another sitter if she is not ever available.”
“Dani did a great job with our pups. They seemed really comfortable in her home and all the doggie toys that she provided for them. We will definitely leave them with her again!”
About: Animals hold a special place in my heart and I genuinely enjoy taking care of animals, I’ve grown up with them my whole life, I’ve cared for Parakeets, dogs, cats, horses, aquatic animals, hermit crabs, guinea pigs, just about everything in the book. Eventually I would love to make a career in caring for animals of all kinds. I’m a young mother in her 20’s, I’ve competed cosmetology school down in Jacksonville for 1300+ hours of makeup & hair. I have small hobbies such as painting & wood carving, hoping I can start a small business. I work part time & Iove being outside. Taking your pets for walks, playing with them, social interaction, feeding them food and water, playing outside. Etc. whatever your animal may need I can accommodate, if they have any medications I’ll make sure they’re taken care of. Your pets are safe with me.
“Omg! Where do I start!? Amy was so nice and kept me updated on how he was doing and sending the cutest pictures of my little mans ❤️ James had such a good time with her and Doogle! She is DEFINITELY my only go to! You won’t be disappointed with her services!”
“Denise communicated really well with me throughout Ruby's stay. She sent pictures of Ruby which we really enjoyed seeing, not to mention took her in last minute. Thanks Denise, we look forward to Ruby visiting again.”
“Super great! One dog sitter. My Rosie got a lot of attention and hugs. She loved her walks. I would definitely use her again! I recommend her who needs one on one care. My Rosie is very spoiled. 😀”
“Toast had the best time! We are so lucky to have found someone like Heather and her family to care for our baby. He fit right in and we will definitely be using her again!😊”
About: We’re huge dog lovers, and having recently lost our own pups, we’d love the chance to welcome some four-legged friends into our home while their parents are away. We know firsthand how hard it can be to find someone you truly trust to care for your dogs and how much peace of mind comes from knowing they’re being loved and looked after properly. Over the past ten years, we’ve adopted three dogs, two of whom were seniors when they joined our family. Our pups were truly our kids, and we’ve experienced just about everything that comes with sharing your life with dogs, from the funny quirks and endless cuddles to the extra care and patience older pups sometimes need. We’ve also looked after dogs for friends and family for years, sometimes having as many as four pups in the house at once! I’ve personally worked as a dog walker for several years, and my husband, Ric, is great with training… although his specialty is definitely cuddling. We’re holding off a little while before welcoming our next dog into the family, so in the meantime, we’d genuinely love having some pups around to spoil. Our goal is to give dog parents the same reassurance we always wanted when leaving ours behind: knowing your pups are with people who will treat them like part of the family. Expect lots of love, plenty of attention, a comfortable home, and probably more photos and updates than you asked for. 😂 Basically: your pups will be spoiled, cuddled, and treated like the little angels they are until you’re home again. ❤️🐾 I work from home most days, so pups get plenty of company, attention, and opportunities to get outside throughout the day! Ric and I are early risers and usually start our day around 5:45 a.m. with a quick trip to the yard for a wee. Since I’m home during the day, I’m able to keep an eye on their routine, let them out whenever they need, and fit in little walks throughout the day. After dinner, we always head out for a 30–45 minute walk, and any pups staying with us are more than welcome to join! If they’re particularly energetic, we’re also happy to add a longer morning walk after breakfast. And, of course, being in Florida, we’re always mindful of the heat and will adjust walks and outdoor time to make sure everyone stays safe and comfortable. 🐾 Honestly, we have a very peaceful household, and our dogs have always just chilled right alongside us. We’ll stick to whatever routine you give us when it comes to meals, treats, walks, medications, and anything else they need, but outside of that, we’re pretty good at matching their vibe. If they want to play, we’ll play. If they want to curl up on the couch and take it easy, we’re more than happy to do that too! Some of our friends have dogs who are usually pretty high-energy or a little anxious, and even they seem to completely zonk out when they stay with us. We like to think our home is just a comfortable, easygoing place for pups to settle in, feel safe, and make themselves at home. 🐾
“Amelia and her kids did so well with my dog. Her dog Daisy was friendly and sweet to him as well. He is a 1yr old 10 lb papillon and Lhasa mix. I had never left him with anyone I didn’t know before and was nervous, but Amelia kept me up to date with photos the whole time. When I picked him up, he was sad to leave. It was comforting to know he’ll be happy there and will definitely use her again!”
“We have completed another visit. Everything went smooth as expected, Rebecca and Michael did a great job keeping us informed through the stay and plent of pictures of them having fun. For real, of you need a sitter they are an absolutely top notch sitter.”
“Amazing dog sitter. They went above and beyond the service. Coco loved them. I was in an accident in my vacation and they were there to extend my stay. They are wonderful people and a beautiful baby. I didn’t expect the kindness that they showed.”
“Boomer had an amazing time with Kristen!!! We received pictures daily on Boomers progress. We feel very confident that we will be using Kristen for our Boarding when and if we need to leave town or have an emergency again. Her care of Boomer was amazing.”

“Mary is attentive, so kind and fun to work with, and so great to our sweet kitties!! Cute photos and good details in each visit. Excited to rebook with her again in the near future.”
“Heather will be our go-to cat sitter from here on out. Right after moving to St. Augustine, we had a pre planned wedding in Europe for 2 weeks. Heather did everything we asked and so much more, even watering our plants and adding to the fish tank reservoir, which was beyond appreciated—our home has a lot of life in it! She sent photos of both of our babies each visit, gave a good summary of how they’re doing and how the visit went, and even swept up for us. Thank you, thank you, thank you. On the last day, one of our babies locked herself in the restroom, and as soon as I saw it on camera, I texted Heather and she was at the house within 15 minutes. Look no further—Heather is the best!!”
“Renee was once again awesome. My cat, Juice, is very comfortable with her and she’s gives all the right details when filling out the reports at the end of every visit. Highly recommend!”
About: I have been around cats my whole life. We had some as kids and as my own family has grown. I have helped with fostering. My kids and I know how to help and meet the needs of cats. We help with friends and family and even outdoor cats.
About: I currently have a cat of my own and grew up with cats, giving me years of experience understanding their unique personalities and needs. I've also cared for friends' cats while they were away, helping with feeding, playtime, litter box maintenance, and companionship. I know that cats can take time to warm up to new people, and I always make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for in their own environment. I genuinely love animals and enjoy building trust with every pet I care for.

About: I’ve been an animal person for as long as I can remember! My first dog, Lady, came into my life when I was six, and I’ve had two dogs and five cats over the years. These days, I’m outnumbered by four-legged family members with one dog and three cats of my own. 😂 I’m happy to keep up with your pet’s normal routine, whether that means walks, playtime, meals, litter boxes, medication, or just hanging out and keeping them company. I’m also very patient and understand that not every pet immediately thinks a stranger is their new best friend. No pressure! I’ll let them warm up to me at their own pace. Most importantly, I know pets aren’t “just pets.” They’re family. I’ll take care of yours with the same love, attention, and ridiculous amount of picture-taking that I give my own. 🐾❤️ I work from home managing my own business, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and am usually around throughout the day. Aside from school drop-off/pick-up and the occasional appointment or errand, I’m able to work my schedule around your pet’s needs. That means I can give them plenty of attention throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for hours at a time. Whether they need a midday walk, some playtime, a potty break, meals, or just some company while you’re away, I can usually make it work. Since I’ll be caring for pets in their own homes, my goal is to keep things as close to their normal routine as possible. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, treats, medications, walks, and anything else you’ve asked me to do. I’ll send a picture update each time I visit so you know your pets are doing well, and I’ll let you know if I notice anything unusual or anything that seems off. I’ll also make sure doors are secure, food and water are taken care of, and everything is left the way I found it. Most importantly, I want you to be able to relax while you’re away knowing your pets are getting the care, attention, and love they’re used to.
“Hazen is the best. I have two male cats and they fell in love with her. Hazen sat and played with my boys each day she was here, she not only empties the cat boxes she swept up the cat litter that was on the floor. I would definitely use her again.”
About: Personally I am a cat person. I have taken care of all sorts of cats including sphynx, bengal, and domestic shorthairs. I understand that some cats need more attention than others, and I am more than willing to adjust to the needs of the cats. I love learning about the different personalities of different breeds. I have not met a cat that has not warmed up to me. I think they like my calm demeanor.
“Lindsay is our second sitter from Rover over the past 6 months. The first one moved and we were so lucky to find Lindsay. Unfortunately for us she lives and works less than 5 mi away. The photos that she sends us each visit are amazing. We have three cats and they love her. Most of the photos have the cats actually licking their lips because of the treats she gives them. She might be their favorite person in the world. Thank you Lindsay for being a part of our babies world. You should be a professional photographer with your great photos.”
“This was the first time having Baily visit with my sweet girl, Kailani (French Bulldog) and Kailani was so excited to see her again since the meet and greet we did. Thank you Baily for making sure Kailani had fun and was taken care of while I was away today!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Elkton
“I highly recommend Lisa. It's always difficult to find someone to take care of pets last minute during the holidays. She responded quickly and welcomed my Suki with a lot of love. Thank you Lisa”
“They took good care of my boy everyone hit it off right from the start Max and their dog Rockey were instant buds. When I picked him up I could tell by Max's affection toward Rachel and her husband they are sweet dog lovers this was a playdate but have them booked for watching him when we go on vacation”

“Tracy is an exceptional caregiver. I have a 15 year old miniature pinscher that Tracy took care of for the day recently. Throughout the day, Tracy checked in with me via text, sending pics of my chilled out dog. I knew my dog was comfortable and calm when Tracy sent a pic of her begging for snacks. When I picked up my dog later that afternoon, she was relaxed and sleepy. Tracy is a consummate professional. After I contacted her about day care, we had a meet and greet so my dog could get acquainted with her. Tracy was on time and exhibited kindness and trustworthiness from the get go. She loves dogs and it showed. I hope to use her day care service again because I know my dog will be well taken care of. Compassion, kindness, and trustworthiness are qualities that Tracy possesses in abundance. I highly recommend her.”

About: I think dog’s are awesome animals and they are so loyal. I love being around dogs and seeing their true personalities come out. One day I would live to have a dog, but I want to wait until I have a backyard to let them run. I work a 9-5, but I am remote. This gives me flexibility to tend to your animals needs. Animals are like toddlers and need a lot of care and attention. This is an important thing to remember for any animal owner. I will treat any animal as if they are my own. Every animal on this planet deserves to be treated with love and compassion. In time of their owners absence, it is especially important to make them feel safe and loved.

“I cannot speak highly enough about the fantastic dog walking service provided by William for my beloved Coco. As a dog owner, finding a reliable and caring walker is crucial, and William has exceeded all expectations!! From day one, William has been incredibly dependable. He has never missed a scheduled walk and always arrives on time, rain or shine. Knowing that Coco is in good hands gives me great peace of mind while I'm at work or school. Communication with William is seamless. He is always responsive to messages, and he proactively updates me on Coco's walks. I appreciate the occasional photos he sends – they brighten up my day and allow me to see Coco enjoying her time with him :) Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend William as a dog walker for any fur parent. His genuine love for dogs, combined with his professionalism and reliability, makes him an outstanding choice. Coco is in great hands with William, and I am grateful to have him as a trusted dog walker. Thank you, William, for providing such exceptional care and love to Coco on her walks!”

About: Growing up, I've always had animals in the house. Cats, dogs, fish, guinea pigs, bearded dragons— you name it. I've done pet setting during high school, and now that I'm starting college, I'd love to help take care of people's pets again! I have most experience working with cats and dogs, as I have 4 cats and recently had an elder dog for many years. I've volunteered at the humane society for fostering, so I can take care of kittens as well if needed. I have a very open schedule since I just recently graduated. I'm available to come over and check on pets between 9am-9pm any day of the week. I have open availability for house sitting as well, but for more info please feel free to contact me! I always make sure the pets are healthy and happy whenever I see them. I can clean up any messes or accidents they may have made, and I can give medicine in their food or orally. If your pet is a little skittish at first, it's not a problem! I'll let them come to me at their own pace so they won't get scared, and I'll be sure to offer plenty of treats as well.
“Adrienne did an excellent job of walking my two labs twice while I was gone for the day. Her communication was great, even sending pictures of the dogs. I will definitely use her again when I am back to st. Augustine’”
“Alexandra went above and beyond my expectations with my two pups. She is knowledgeable and caring. On time and ready. I'll use her again. She is a no worries caretaker for my pups! Highly recommend her...”
About: I have been dog/house sitting for over 5 years, I am very dependable and trustworthy. I have 2 dogs of my own and have grown up with pets my whole life, making my love for animals pure. I have built relationships with all the families whose houses/animals I sit for and they have consistently used me as their go to sitter! Pet care easily fits into my daily and weekly routine. I have flexibility with my serving job and am able to take off or adjust my schedule on days that I am pet sitting. This allows me to have open availability and dedicate the time and attention needed to provide your pet with great care while you’re away. I provide dog sitting in my clients’ homes and focus on making sure each pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owner is away. I have been trusted by my current dog-sitting clients for over three years, and I also have dogs of my own that I care for every day. Having grown up with dogs my entire life, I’m comfortable with different personalities, needs, and routines. I adapt to each pet’s normal schedule as much as possible, whether that means feeding times, walks, playtime, or simply giving them companionship, so they can feel at home and maintain their routine while their owner is away.
“Very easy to work with and excellent with animals. Very prompt in meeting and great communication. Lindsey was a pleasure to work with and we will definitely use her service again!”

“Tracy is a wonderful caretaker. This was Rosie’s first time with her. Tracy really focused on my dog, and spent time with her to make sure was happy and having fun. She left me a lot of updates to reassure me throughout the day. I know my dog was well taken care of and had fun at her home.”

About: We’re huge dog lovers, and having recently lost our own pups, we’d love the chance to welcome some four-legged friends into our home while their parents are away. We know firsthand how hard it can be to find someone you truly trust to care for your dogs and how much peace of mind comes from knowing they’re being loved and looked after properly. Over the past ten years, we’ve adopted three dogs, two of whom were seniors when they joined our family. Our pups were truly our kids, and we’ve experienced just about everything that comes with sharing your life with dogs, from the funny quirks and endless cuddles to the extra care and patience older pups sometimes need. We’ve also looked after dogs for friends and family for years, sometimes having as many as four pups in the house at once! I’ve personally worked as a dog walker for several years, and my husband, Ric, is great with training… although his specialty is definitely cuddling. We’re holding off a little while before welcoming our next dog into the family, so in the meantime, we’d genuinely love having some pups around to spoil. Our goal is to give dog parents the same reassurance we always wanted when leaving ours behind: knowing your pups are with people who will treat them like part of the family. Expect lots of love, plenty of attention, a comfortable home, and probably more photos and updates than you asked for. 😂 Basically: your pups will be spoiled, cuddled, and treated like the little angels they are until you’re home again. ❤️🐾 I work from home most days, so pups get plenty of company, attention, and opportunities to get outside throughout the day! Ric and I are early risers and usually start our day around 5:45 a.m. with a quick trip to the yard for a wee. Since I’m home during the day, I’m able to keep an eye on their routine, let them out whenever they need, and fit in little walks throughout the day. After dinner, we always head out for a 30–45 minute walk, and any pups staying with us are more than welcome to join! If they’re particularly energetic, we’re also happy to add a longer morning walk after breakfast. And, of course, being in Florida, we’re always mindful of the heat and will adjust walks and outdoor time to make sure everyone stays safe and comfortable. 🐾 Honestly, we have a very peaceful household, and our dogs have always just chilled right alongside us. We’ll stick to whatever routine you give us when it comes to meals, treats, walks, medications, and anything else they need, but outside of that, we’re pretty good at matching their vibe. If they want to play, we’ll play. If they want to curl up on the couch and take it easy, we’re more than happy to do that too! Some of our friends have dogs who are usually pretty high-energy or a little anxious, and even they seem to completely zonk out when they stay with us. We like to think our home is just a comfortable, easygoing place for pups to settle in, feel safe, and make themselves at home. 🐾
“Amelia and her kids did so well with my dog. Her dog Daisy was friendly and sweet to him as well. He is a 1yr old 10 lb papillon and Lhasa mix. I had never left him with anyone I didn’t know before and was nervous, but Amelia kept me up to date with photos the whole time. When I picked him up, he was sad to leave. It was comforting to know he’ll be happy there and will definitely use her again!”
“Amazing dog sitter. They went above and beyond the service. Coco loved them. I was in an accident in my vacation and they were there to extend my stay. They are wonderful people and a beautiful baby. I didn’t expect the kindness that they showed.”
“Our dachshund, Peaches, loved her time with Danielle. Danielle gave us lots of updates during Peaches' stay with her (which we loved!). We could tell she was well-cared for while we were away!”
“We were so happy with Checkers care with Justin and Stephanie! Loved getting the pictures and notes from them while we were gone. We plan to use them from now on as our primary dogsitters.”
“I would definitely use Sarah as a pet sitter again! She made everything easy from start to finish. Great communication and very easy to work with. She sent multiple pictures during the stay. Also, updates on how the nervous pup was! For her to house both pups was SO helpful. Highly recommend.”
“Samantha and her family gave my Riley lots of love and attention, even taking her to an event they went to!! She took her on walks and gave her lots of play time with another pup she watches during the week. I will definitely be booking again so Riley can get lots of loving when we go out of town!!”
“We had a very positive experience leaving Riley with Taqueria and her family. They gave her lots of love, took her on walks and communicated well via text and photos. We would definitely use her services again!”
