“Looks like my Daisy Mae is very happy! When I picked her up she looked really relaxed and wagging her tail, but she was barking and I think she was telling me why does she need to go home now! Lol she met new friends and that’s exciting and was well behaved. I brought her for day care before her week long stay and I see she is going to be fine. Alexander was amazing with her, sent pictures, and provided details on her day. He is professional and friendly. It is much appreciated.”
“Denys was amazing. She communicates very well and takes pictures to give updates. Rocky made himself at home right away and seemed to be very comfortable. I will be reaching out again in the future.”
“We were so happy to find Priscilla. While we live in another part of Florida, we needed to board our pup while in the area where we were visiting with family and spending Thanksgiving Day at their house. My son's dog doesn't get along with ours, so it was wonderful to find someone who could care for him during our visit. Priscilla was so good with him and she sent us photos and a video of him running in her yard with the other dogs. He looked so happy to have this play time. We will definitely consider boarding him with Priscilla the next time we plan a visit to our kids.”

“Brenda, Dwain, their daughter, and their cutie crew of furry friends were SPECTACULAR! I'm incredibly grateful to have found them and very pleased with Wink's care. They provided photos and videos, and were incredibly kind and generous. They will absolutely be seeing Wink and I again!”
“Ana was so great! We came here on vacation, and had trouble finding pet sitters since we didn’t plan on bringing our dog. Ana accepted our booking even though it was so last minute, which helped us enjoy our vacation without having to worry too much. Our dog doesn’t do great with new people, so we were a bit worried about how he would do. However, Ana helped him feel right at home, and he was so amazing there! We would definitely book her again every time we’re back here for vacation!”
“She was fantastic! Buttercup felt very comfortable with her, I got Photo updates throughout the day, and I feel like it was the perfect fit for buttercup daycare! Highly recommend”
“Mercedes did such a wonderful job with my puppy. I cannot thank her enough for being so flexible and accommodating for us on top of it being last minute! Got cute pictures of them snuggled up and he didnt want to leave!”
“We were in town to attend the Daytona 500. I didn’t feel comfortable leaving my dog crated for a 8-12 hour day in our camper so I decided to give rover a try. I was very nervous as my dog is 11 years old with anxiety and can be difficult. We dropped him off at Ivana’s apartment and her apartment was extremely clean and nice. She reassured us he would be well taken care of. I appreciated the pictures and messages throughout the day. We picked him up early due to the race having a rain delay and I was glad that he felt comfortable enough to nap and cuddle with her on the couch while being watched by her. I recommend her as she was essentially a stranger to us and took good care of my dog. I liked her experience and reviews and I would feel comfortable hiring her again if I was in the area.”
About: We are a pet loving family! Our dog Sadie loves having new friends over to play with. My backyard is perfect for play time and my house is made to feel like your dog's second home. I work from home most days of the week. Our morning starts between 6-7 with a potty break and breakfast. Normally the dogs get to play outside at least 4 times throughout the day. Dinner is normally around 5-6. Last potty break is about 9pm. Since I work from home, this schedule can be adjusted to fit your dog's needs. Like people, all dogs have different needs and personalities. I am able to adapt to what your pup may need. My dog, Sadie, is crate trained. If your dog also likes their crate, please feel free to bring it. All dogs are fed separately to prevent any food conflicts.
“Daisy recently had a very bad experience at a local franchised daycare. I wanted to find a more loving environment and smaller play group for her. I am so relieved to have found Rebecca. She is sweet, gentle, and made sure Daisy settled comfortably into a new space with her new friends. She updated me during the visit, and I'm confident Daisy will love days with Rebecca.”

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, including senior pets and animals with special needs. I’ve cared for dogs with arthritis, mobility problems, and cancer, helping them move around safely, go outside, and stay comfortable. I also have experience with physical-therapy routines, including assisting a dog with weakened back legs and water-treadmill therapy. With cats and dogs, I’ve helped give medications and have experience giving fluids to a cat with kidney issues. I’ve also walked, fed, and watched neighbors’ dogs, including Charlie, Rosie, and Parker. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable adjusting my care to each pet’s individual needs. My schedule is fairly flexible, which gives me plenty of time to provide pets with consistent attention and care. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and pet sitting. I can also work around each pet’s normal routine and make sure they get the care and attention they’re used to. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. I take the time to learn what makes each pet feel comfortable, whether that means an energetic walk, extra patience with a senior dog, medication at a certain time, or simply giving a shy pet some space. I’m very careful with leashes, doors, gates, feeding instructions, and anything else an owner points out. Having cared for pets with mobility issues and other special needs, I’m used to paying attention to the little things and adjusting my care when needed. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible while you’re away.
“Natasha is always amazing! Our pups (and psycho kitty) love her. We never have to worry with her watching our boys (and madam murder paws). She goes above and beyond with frequent updates, which is always appreciated!”
“She gave me updates and I love that she took pictures for me too! She definitely gave Callie a nice walk and attention when I was unable too. Will definitely be booking with her.”
About: Hi everyone! I am first and foremost an animal lover! On top of that, I know how to keep your baby active, happy, and healthy! I am more than happy to meet with you beforehand because I want you to rest easy knowing that your baby is in good hands! I had two weenie dogs growing up and they are my world. I've dog sat for friends and family and always have an amazing time! If you have any questions, please contact me! I work the typical 40 hour week so anything after 4:30 on weekdays and any time on weekends I'm here for you and happy to help! Currently I have two kitties that put the biggest smile on my face the second I wake up. Animals just trust me. Every time I visit a friend with a "they don't like people" animal, they still like me!
About: Our family has over 16 years of hands-on experience caring for my own pets, including two dogs and a cat. Through the years, I’ve cared for pets at every stage of life, from active younger pets to seniors requiring extra patience and attention. I understand the importance of maintaining routines, providing exercise, giving plenty of affection, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. As a pet owner myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I treat every animal as if they were part of my own family. An added perk, I am currently working remote from home and will be able to be home with your pets the majority of the day! I currently work remotely, which allows me to provide consistent companionship and supervision throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, with flexibility for walks, playtime, feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, and regular check-ins. I am home most of the day and can give pets the attention and care they need while maintaining their normal routines. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I’m happy to work with owners to provide a comfortable, stress-free experience. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. As a longtime pet owner, I understand the importance of keeping pets secure, maintaining their routines, and paying attention to their individual personalities and needs. I am committed to providing a clean home, close supervision, regular exercise, and plenty of affection. Since I work remotely, I am able to be present throughout the day and provide companionship, bathroom breaks, and regular attention. Whether caring for pets in my home or visiting a client’s home, I treat every pet with the same patience, respect, and care I would want for my own.
About: Stress-Free Environment Calm, safe, and home-like setting that keeps dogs happy, not anxious. I’m also reliable and communicative—pet parents can count on regular updates, photos, and peace of mind while they're away. With experience handling pets of all sizes, temperaments, and special needs, I go beyond basic care by providing personalized attention, emotional comfort, and plenty of love. I treat pet sitting as a responsibility and a priority, I build in time for everything from play sessions to medication schedules, keeping flexibility for any last-minute needs. My routine is built to support dependability, consistency, and compassion—three things every pet needs when away from their family. When pets stay in my home, I strive to make them feel safe, relaxed, and loved—just like part of the family. I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment with cozy spaces for rest, toys for enrichment, and designated areas for feeding and play. I stick closely to their usual routines, including walk times, feeding schedules, and any special care or medications they need.
About: I have been caring for animals for years.

“Amber was phenomenal ! She took amazing care of my menace Burton. Her pre-service prep is very thoughtful; she definitely cares about making sure your furbaby stays in routine and gets lots of love.

About: What sets me apart is my personalized, positive approach to pet care—every dog is treated as an individual! I focus on building trust, clear communication, and real-life skills that work at home and on walks. Pet care fits seamlessly into my weekly routine. I am a student with a flexible schedule and with that flexibility, have the opportunity to do what I love-pet care! Long overnight stays, drop-ins daily, or quick weekend visits are things I love to spend my time doing. Safety, trust, and a positive environment are my top priorities. I provide attentive, reliable care and closely follow each pet’s routine to ensure they feel secure and comfortable. I use gentle, positive methods and maintain a calm, clean environment so every pet feels safe, respected, and at ease while in my care.
“Devin has been an incredible dog charmer! Maddix took to him in minutes. He's courteous, flexible, knowledgeable and he was there for Maddix at the last minute. You are missing out if you don't give Devin a try! Thank you Devin for helping me out, especially at the last minute!”

About: I grew up caring for multiple large dogs and cats simultaneously. One of the two labs required extra care as he lost a rear limb when he was a puppy. I currently am blessed with a beautiful domestic long hair cat named Misty that has extra grooming needs and requires extensive daily brushing. My professional lifestyle allows me plenty of available time to meet the needs of any unique or variable schedules for both my own and your pets sitting and walking needs. I’m an experienced dog walker and actively engage with animals to keep their attention and gain their trust. For cats I groom and brush daily as well as reinforce positive behavior through praise training.
