“Anita was fantastic!

For boarding I’m available 7 days a week! Your dog will never be left alone for long stretches. Even though I work a full-time job Monday through Friday (8am-5pm) I live five minutes away from my workplace, which allows me to easily check in on my lunch breaks to manage feeding times and give potty breaks throughout the day. In the evenings and all weekend long I am home full time to hang out, play in the yard with Hazel and cuddle.

Your dog will truly have a safe, fun and loving home away from home.
“Nicole and her family took wonderful care of Billie while I was away, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Billie is a high-energy dog, and they provided such an active, loving, and supportive environment that she immediately felt right at home. Nicole kept me updated every day with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. I especially loved the thoughtful little touches—like playing Billie Eilish songs for Billie! It was clear that she was treated like part of the family and received lots of attention, exercise, and affection. I am incredibly grateful for the care, communication, and kindness they showed. I would absolutely trust Nicole with Billie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for their dog as if it were their own.”

I never trust anyone with franklin yet with her I was able to be free of worries, I got pictures and updates all constantly and he was having the time of his life❤️ I can’t thank her enough and I wouldn’t doubt in using her services again. Franklin loved it, thank you Petra!”

About: Having a beautiful kitty myself, I know how difficult it can be to trust someone to care for them like we do. But I am here to be that person in every way. Feeding, playing, loving, petting and of course cleaning. Whether it's a mess from playing with toys, fur that got on the furniture, food or water that spilled and of course kitty litter! Plenty of pets and snuggles are always a necessity not a want.
About: I have had dogs my entire life and have been apart of a dog rescue organization for over 9 years. I take pride in not only loving your pet but also developing a special bond with them. They become like family to me and I treat them as such. I take caring for your pup seriously as this is not a side gig for me but I’ve made a career out of it. My priorities are to keep your fur babies safe, healthy, comfortable, happy and feeling loved all in a smoke free environment. If I’m boarding a dog I only board one family at a time in my home. I live in a very nice condo community in Victoria Park that has a walking path, dog play area and is 3 blocks from a large park ( a great place for walks.) I do not have stairs nor do I have any other pets in the home. Pet sitting is my job and I love getting to know your fur babies. I provide exercise, love, cuddles and safety and any other needs and wants of you and your dog. The services I am offering is pet sitting, dog boarding, drop ins and dog walking . My goal is to make sure you have a happy pup.

About: Hi, I’m Isabelle! I’m a dedicated and caring cat sitter with a genuine love for animals. I’ve been volunteering at shelters for over 2 years, including my current role at Abandoned Pet Rescue. I understand how important it is for your cat to feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or just quiet companionship, I’ll ensure your cat is happy and well cared for. Your cat’s comfort and well-being are my top priorities, and I’ll treat them as if they were my own. I’d love the chance to care for your furry friend!
About: I have German short head pointers and Maine coon cats at home! I’ve always grown up with dogs and cats in the house. More than happy to take care of and play with your pups since mine are at home :) Not afraid of puppy energy I am currently working part-time and I’m looking for a full-time job. I am pretty available during the week and weekends! Looking for things to do including things I love. I am an active person and would love your dog to join me on a walk! I treat every Pet like they are my own! I have lots of love to give, I am very trustworthy and respect that I am in somebody else’s home taking care of their pet.
About: I've been looking after dogs and cats for almost everyone I know since I was twelve and I've wanted to be a veterinarian since I was very young. Currently, I'm saving for vet school, but before finding Rover I worked in veterinary offices and boarding kennels where I was responsible for everything from filing medical records and booking appointments to group enrichment and food and medication administration (including subcutaneous fluids). I have also trained dogs professionally (mostly puppies, but some older dogs as well) and fostered for the county shelter. These experiences have made me comfortable with medical and behavioral challenges with animals of any size and I am confident in my ability to care for your fur babies as well as I do mine. Lastly, dietary restrictions excluded of course, don't forget the treats and toys! I am very big on enrichment and positive reinforcement and I'm yet to meet an animal who didn't want a little spoiling. I'm excited to meet you and your pets and hope to foster a long and trusting relationship with both. I am home almost every day that I am not out on Rover jobs. This allows me the flexibility to work with multiple pet families and meet everyone's needs. As all pets are different, I am happy to discuss care plans with pet parents to make sure I can provide what is both needed and wanted, but my schedule is flexible enough to accommodate the vast majority of requests. I do request at least 4 hours notice (including service confirmation) for walks, 2 days notice for drop ins, and a week's notice for house sitting. This is to ensure that I can meet the needs of all clients adequately as well as schedule my non-pet care obligations appropriately. If you are in need of services on shorter notice than the above, I will do my best to accomodate but services will be subject to a 40% upcharge as a rush fee. I am active on Rover throughout the day from about 9am to 8pm (unless I am actively with client animals in which case I remain accessible to said client minus times I am indisposed). I am happy to walk/drop-in on pets several times a day. Administering food and medication during these times is something I am completely comfortable with as I do so for my own animals regularly. Scooping litter boxes is also well within my wheelhouse (though my cat is particularly picky and has a self-scooping one for his comfort). I am used to active/playful dogs and cats as I have one of each myself and I am happy to take some long walks and/or get a good play session going depending on what is most appropriate for the animals in my care. With permission (and the appropriate safety gear) I am also happy to take dogs to their local dog park for socialization and peer play.
About: I have over 8 years of experience caring for cats and dogs, and I’ve been around animals my entire life. I come from a family that has always had both cats and dogs, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my daily life. I truly love animals and enjoy spending quality time with them, playing, giving attention, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I also like to keep everything clean and organized so your pets can stay relaxed and you can have peace of mind too. My cat is also very friendly with dogs, which has helped me become even more comfortable understanding different pet personalities and behaviors. At the moment, I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to the pets I care for. Feel free to contact me so we can find a routine and schedule that works best for you and your pet. Currently, I mainly offer care in the client’s home, especially because I enjoy keeping pets comfortable in a familiar environment and maintaining their usual routine as closely as possible. I have plenty of experience with dogs and truly enjoy spending time with them, from walks and playtime to simply keeping them company and making sure they feel safe, calm, and well cared for. With cats, I’ve noticed that many tend to feel more relaxed staying in their own space, so I’m happy to do regular visits throughout the day to give them attention, care, food, clean spaces, and companionship while you’re away.
“I highly recommend Lauren as a pet sitter. She stayed at my house with my kitty for a week while I was on vacation. She not only took care of my cat but took great care of my home. I will definitely be using her again in the future.”

About: From an early age I began petsitting a variety of dogs in my neighborhood, family, and of friends. From Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Jack Russells, Dachshunds, Beagles, Hounds, Dobermanns, and more I have experience with a range of breeds. I often used to petsit for my neighbors who had five dogs. I also have owned a Rottweiler, Rhodesian Ridgeback and Bichon Frisé. I have always regarded having a connection with animals as an important quality and have never met an animal that didn’t like me! I recently left my position at Florida International University College of Hospitality and I want to lend my services in pet care to my community. I am available fulltime and I am able to provide transparent communication throughout the week. I want to ensure you that your pet is getting the best care possible and you can focus on work, vacation, or whatever reason my services are required. Able to provide frequent walks and top quality care. I don’t have pets of my own and I prefer to house sit but I am able to accommodate boarding at my apartment if preferred with regular walks.
“We traveled with our dog to Fl for a work/vacation trip. While in Ft Lauderdale we knew we needed a day sitter for Mr Charlie whom is diabetic and blind. Cherie was very attentive to his needs and took extra care with Charlie. We felt very comfortable leaving him with her. He had two consecutive day visits and each time was happy when we arrived to him up. As a rover sitter myself I felt that Cherie took care of him as we would And was attentive to our special needs guy. If we find ourselves in her area again we would not hesitate to rebook with Cherie”
“Luna had a wonderful time with Ilaria and her sweet family. We received lots of updates and photos, and they definitely took great care of her. We will be reaching out to Ilaria again for sure!”
“Benson looked very comfortable in his day care photos and was so happy to hear he was well behaved with Porscha and Applejack! I would definitely work with Billi again”
About: I grew up in an animal loving household. I have had dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, and ferrets. Raised my girl from 8 weeks old and she’ll be turning 9 yrs this year. I was also a foster mom for my local shelter where I provided a safe place for over 15 dogs, puppies, kittens, and cats I work from home, so I can provide multiple walks a day for dogs as well as provide a watchful eye while boarding your baby. My dog is my baby, so the couch and bed is her lounge place. I have a spare bedroom that will be a perfect getaway for your baby. Providing them with their own safe place.
“My dog shadow told me he had the best time with Valerie!!! She is literally the best! She sent me photos of shadow every day, I was able to communicate with her easily and coordinating everything was super easy. She is probably the best dog sitter here on Rover!!!”
About: My 1st Dog, a German Shepard, Bert was born 2 weeks after I was, a puppy of my parents litter and had grew up with him till I was 13 yrs old. I always wanted to be a vet and by the time I was 5 years old had my own Rabbits and Hamsters. In my early teens we got another German Shepard, I go my 1st Ferret and we had acquired a cat Smokey :) With my love of animals shortly after as I was out of High School, I started working at a vet clinic at the age of 19 as a vet assistant, and worked as a full time vet tech for another 6 years, then working part-time for another 15 years, once moving to south Florida, I worked part time training dogs. I have raised and adopted my fair share of Dogs (as large as a Great Dane), Ferrets, and cats. Now living in South Florida I am a single parent of a 4 year old Dogo Argentino.

I have personally trained dogs to all training styles which will is great if you have multi- dog household with different walking gear and needs. I have trained 230lb large breeds to 5 pounds dogs, including walking Ferrets, as my ferrets we all harness trained to walk :)
“We arrived in Fort Lauderdale for an extended vacation. Between the long drive here from Chicago and the different settings on the way our somewhat clingy dog was even more clingy and nervous than usual. She was at our side constantly, but we needed to find a sitter for a few hours/days to allow us to golf, fish, etc. without the dog at our side. Tho we were nervous about leaving Bella with a stranger in a new place, it all worked out beautifully. Jody's house was well set up for pets and her own dogs were very friendly. Jody was very welcoming and calmed our fears. When we returned, we half expected to see our dog acting anxious, but she was just as calm and happy as if she had spent the day with us. We won't hesitate to call on Jody again for our next outing. We'd recommend Jody to anyone needing someone to care for their dog while away.”

About: Lifelong dog lover and current med student here! Raised alongside a Cockapoo and a Goldendoodle since I was six, I’ve spent nearly my whole life caring for pups. My medical training makes me exceptionally detail-oriented, reliable, and calm under pressure, while my inner kid just wants to provide the same love and attention I give my own family dogs. I’m a med student taking a gap year to study for my Step 1 exam. Since I study from home nearly 24/7, your pup will have constant companionship, a quiet environment, and endless study-break cuddles!. I’ve raised and loved a Cockapoo and a Goldendoodle since I was six years old, so dog care is second nature to me. Living right in Las Olas, I offer a premium, ultra-reliable, and highly attentive environment. My medical background means your pet is in the safest, most responsible hands possible!
“We are so thrilled to have met Diane! She was able to dog sit our little dog last minute, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Her home is beautiful, clean, and welcoming, and she is incredibly friendly and caring. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our dog, Forty, was receiving one-on-one attention and care. That level of personalized care is hard to find. I’m so thankful we found her and now feel comfortable traveling in the future knowing Forty will be in great hands. Highly recommend Diane to anyone looking for an amazing, reliable dog sitter!”

She cared for my furbaby throughout the day, sent some photos to let me know he was doing well, and gave me peace of mind knowing he was in a calm environment.

“Talia was absolutely wonderful with Pierre! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly has a natural connection with dogs. Pierre came back happy, calm, and well-exercised after every walk, which gave me so much peace of mind. Talia kept me updated and treated Pierre like her own, which I truly appreciated. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog walker!”
“I cannot recommend Marrianne enough! She did an absolutely amazing job caring for my dog. From the very beginning, communication was clear, prompt, and professional. I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in such caring and capable hands. She went above and beyond — sending regular updates, photos, and thoughtful notes after each walk. It was obvious my dog was happy, comfortable, and genuinely enjoyed their time together. I came home to a relaxed, well-exercised, and very content pup. It’s such a relief to find someone trustworthy, reliable, and truly passionate about what they do. I will definitely be booking again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional care for their furry family member! Thank you again for everything! 🐾💛”
About: Starting our pet sitting for neighbors at just 11 years old & teaching swim lessons to 5-year olds at 15 years old, and being an Ocean Rescue lifeguard at 17, I take pride in my selfless responsibility to care for and protect others. In college, my roommate’s dogs were treated as if they were my dogs too and genuinely enjoyed taking walks, going to the dog parks, and buying them treats. Most recently I was a personal assistant for a traveling executive, taking care of his personal matters, cars, boat, but most importantly his 6-yr old Goldendoodle Bolt! She stayed in my apartment while he was away, slept in my bed every night, constantly went to the park, and went everywhere with me in the car. I am unable to have a dog of my own at the moment, and pet sitting dogs like Bolt brought me joy every single day. I currently am self-employed with my own hospitality company and therefore usually work from home creating my own hours. As well as bartending a few nights a week on occasion. I live in the heart of Las Olas with the riverfront dog park right next door, the Las Olas riverwalk in my backyard, and a puppy proof apartment. Wherever I go, whether it’s walking downstairs to get breakfast or running errands in the car, I always try to bring the dog with me. I drive a Tesla so you know your pet will always be safe in dog mode.
About: I know how harrowing it can be, being apart from your pet. But don't worry I'm here to give the same love, care, and attention to your pet. Whether it's cleaning up spilled food or water, toys, or fur around the house or on the furniture or pet presents (poo) as I like to call it. It's all in the name of love! I am here for you, anytime as long as we work out the details in advance. I care for my own personal pet on a daily basis, so I'm very familiar with being up sometimes in the middle of the night or at the break of dawn. I am willing to come to your home and pet sit. Especially for pets who need more attention and lots of care. My cat is 16 with specialized needs.
About: I have over 8 years of experience caring for cats and dogs, and I’ve been around animals my entire life. I come from a family that has always had both cats and dogs, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my daily life. I truly love animals and enjoy spending quality time with them, playing, giving attention, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I also like to keep everything clean and organized so your pets can stay relaxed and you can have peace of mind too. My cat is also very friendly with dogs, which has helped me become even more comfortable understanding different pet personalities and behaviors. At the moment, I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to the pets I care for. Feel free to contact me so we can find a routine and schedule that works best for you and your pet. Currently, I mainly offer care in the client’s home, especially because I enjoy keeping pets comfortable in a familiar environment and maintaining their usual routine as closely as possible. I have plenty of experience with dogs and truly enjoy spending time with them, from walks and playtime to simply keeping them company and making sure they feel safe, calm, and well cared for. With cats, I’ve noticed that many tend to feel more relaxed staying in their own space, so I’m happy to do regular visits throughout the day to give them attention, care, food, clean spaces, and companionship while you’re away.

About: He tenido mascotas toda mi vida y crecí rodeada de perros, gatos y aves. Para mí, cuidar animales va mucho más allá de un hobby, es algo que realmente disfruto y me apasiona. Tengo experiencia con perros de diferentes tamaños y personalidades, y siempre procuro que se sientan seguros, queridos y acompañados, respetando su rutina, alimentación, paseos y necesidades individuales. Tengo amplia disponibilidad y quiero dedicarme al cuidado de mascotas porque realmente disfruto pasar tiempo con ellas. Puedo adaptar mi horario a sus rutinas, paseos, comidas, juegos y necesidades especiales. Cuido a cada mascota con mucha atención, cariño y paciencia, respetando siempre su rutina y las indicaciones de su dueño. Se quedará conmigo en mi apartamento, donde tendrá un ambiente tranquilo, cómodo y seguro, además de acceso a un jardín para pasear, jugar y hacer sus necesidades. Me aseguro de que tenga agua y comida, tiempo de juego, descanso y mucha compañía.
“Daniela was super easy to work with. I loved that she came to meet Kobe prior to the walks so that he can get acquainted with her. She sent me updates prior to each walk and after. She’s your girl if you need a Walker in the Fort Lauderdale area :) Thank you again!”
About: Hey! Consider trusting me with your fur family and their needs. I pay very close attention to detail, have all the patience in the world, and absolutely love animals. I have been taking care of animals my entire life! I’ve had the privilege of loving over 10 animals in my personal home over the years and worked on a farm for most of my life. My mom worked at a humane society for a long time so I’ve been exposed to many situations and exceptionalities in pets. Willing to wash, walk, and play if you provide the means to do so. No breed restrictions I love all animals. I would love to take on any task at hand! Message me and we can work out the details. I am super flexible with payment! I have zero scheduling restrictions on my available days! I would be more than happy to accept flexible arrangements. I also don’t mind out-of-the-box requests!! I am not able to accept pets into my personal apartment home at this time as I have an elderly kitty who is the absolute queen of the castle, but I know so many pet-friendly options in South Florida where your fur baby and I can have fun safely.
About: I’ve had dogs, cats, and birds my entire life and grew up surrounded by animals. My dad was a veterinarian, so I learned early on how to care for pets with love, patience, and responsibility. Today, I share my home with dogs and a cat, and my family has always had plenty of animals around — so caring for pets is truly second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve walked and cared for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities, from energetic puppies to sweet seniors. I’m comfortable with large breeds, small dogs, shy cats, and everything in between. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pets company, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. If your pet needs extra attention, such as medication or special routines, I’ll handle it with care. My goal is always to make walks fun, keep tails wagging, purrs going strong, and give owners peace of mind while their pets are with me. I currently live with a cat and a dog, and have grown up in a household full of animals, so I understand that cats have their own unique personalities and needs. From playful kittens to calm, independent seniors, I’m comfortable adjusting to each cat’s routine. I know how important it is to respect their space while still providing affection, stimulation, and care. I can handle feeding schedules, litter box upkeep, and giving medication if needed. Whether your cat loves interactive playtime or prefers a quiet companion, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and stress-free while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. In my home, pets are treated like family and are never left unsupervised in unsafe situations. I make sure they have a calm, pet-friendly space, fresh water, and plenty of love and attention. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect your routines and follow instructions carefully so your pets feel secure in their familiar environment. I’m mindful of doors, leashes, and feeding schedules, and I keep a close eye during walks or playtime to make sure every pet is safe and happy. Growing up with a veterinarian father taught me the importance of responsibility and care, and I bring that same level of trust to every pet I look after.

“Another awesome stay with Gregory and Xena! It was clear from the photos he had a great time. Thank you Ms. Xena for letting Banksy steal your doggy bed from time to time. Looking forward to our next stay.”
“Anita was fantastic! Tully our King Charles cavalier spent nearly two weeks at Anitas place - she was well looked after and was happy in her care - the enclosed back yard was perfect for her along with the walks. We were updated with photos and fab communication. Would highly recommend Anita and we are very grateful.”
“Kelly is amazing!! She was very careful to make sure she understood our dog and her specific routine. Our dog had such a great time and really enjoyed playing and hanging out with Kelly’s dog. We have already booked again for an upcoming trip. We highly recommend Kelly!!”
About: I have years of experience caring for dogs of all life stages from playful puppies to gentle seniors. As well as all sizes from small breeds to big pups. Whether your dog needs structured walks, trips to the dog park, careful adherence to a specific feeding schedule or specialized attention like administering medication, I am fully equipped to handle it with care and confidence. For boarding I’m available 7 days a week! Your dog will never be left alone for long stretches. Even though I work a full-time job Monday through Friday (8am-5pm) I live five minutes away from my workplace, which allows me to easily check in on my lunch breaks to manage feeding times and give potty breaks throughout the day. In the evenings and all weekend long I am home full time to hang out, play in the yard with Hazel and cuddle. For daycare I’m available weekends for full daycare.(Note: because of my Monday-Friday work hours, weekday daycare availability is limited but please reach out to see if we can make your schedule work!) I have a true passion for animals; I believe it is my calling in life. I truly love and enjoy taking care of them because they are more than just pets, they are family. I will love and care for your dog just like my own. I know firsthand how stressful it can be to leave your furry friend behind and worry about their safety. Because I understand that anxiety, your peace of mind is my top priority. I promise to keep you updated with lots of pictures, videos and updates throughout the day so you always know they are happy and safe. When your pup stays with me, they will have access to a private, secure, fenced yard for playing and exploring, plus the best company: my sweet miniature dachshund, Hazel, who loves making new friends! Beyond the belly rubs, playtime and socialization, I am deeply committed to maintaining their routine, from strict feeding schedules to plenty of daily exercise. Your dog will truly have a safe, fun and loving home away from home.
“Petra was just amazing in every aspect! She was super communicative, very caring and patient with my crazy dog. I never trust anyone with franklin yet with her I was able to be free of worries, I got pictures and updates all constantly and he was having the time of his life❤️ I can’t thank her enough and I wouldn’t doubt in using her services again. Franklin loved it, thank you Petra!”
“I highly recommend Andrea! This was our 1st time using a sitter and Andrea was awesome from our 1st conversation. She was very informative and assuring during the stay. She sent us pictures and updates about our 2 dogs. She has a huge backyard that they loved. We will be using Andrea going forward. Thank you so much Andrea!!!”
“Jody’s was amazing!! New to town and going out of the country and she made us feel so comfortable. She sent photos every day and kept the line of communication open. Already booked her again!!”
“Mikayla was so excellent! First time having a sitter for my sweet babies and they really took a liking to her! My Guwop is a love bug and my Penny is a rescue who is still a bit afraid of humans. For my Penny to actually want to be touched by Mikayla really said it all! Penny is not the type to warm up so quickly but she did and I’m positive it was all because of the love and comfort she felt from Mikayla ❤️❤️ Her communication was on point she didn’t make me feel bad for annoying her either 😂 ! I was super worried more because of my sweet Penny but she assured me they were in good hands and didn’t disappoint.”
“I had such a wonderful experience with Maria ! She took amazing care of my dog and treated him with so much love and attention. I really appreciated the pictures and updates she sent—they gave me peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. It was clear that she genuinely loved him and made him feel right at home. I highly recommend her and would absolutely trust her with my dog again! ❤️🐾”
About: Lifelong dog lover and current med student here! Raised alongside a Cockapoo and a Goldendoodle since I was six, I’ve spent nearly my whole life caring for pups. My medical training makes me exceptionally detail-oriented, reliable, and calm under pressure, while my inner kid just wants to provide the same love and attention I give my own family dogs. I’m a med student taking a gap year to study for my Step 1 exam. Since I study from home nearly 24/7, your pup will have constant companionship, a quiet environment, and endless study-break cuddles!. I’ve raised and loved a Cockapoo and a Goldendoodle since I was six years old, so dog care is second nature to me. Living right in Las Olas, I offer a premium, ultra-reliable, and highly attentive environment. My medical background means your pet is in the safest, most responsible hands possible!
“I am so thankful for the level of care Svetlana provided my Nilla girl. Svetlana kept in touch with me several times each day, taking photos and videos. Nilla was very well taken care of and loved during her stay, and being able to see that she was ok made me feel comfortable. Svetlana is a pure person, I honestly can’t say enough about how grateful I am for the care she provided my baby.”
About: I've been around pets my whole life. I grew up with cats and had a family dog throughout high school, and I've had my own cat for the last five years. Taking care of animals has always just been part of my everyday life. I've also helped friends in my apartment complex by walking and feeding their dogs while they're out of town. I know every pet has its own routine and personality, so I always make sure to follow the owner's instructions and give them the attention they need. I live in Flagler Village in Fort Lauderdale, so I'm nearby and available for local pet care. I'll treat your pet like I would my own and make sure they're well taken care of while you're away. I work from home, so I’m almost always around and able to give your pet attention throughout the day. My schedule allows me to take multiple breaks for feeding, playtime, walks, and check-ins, rather than leaving pets alone for long periods of time. Having my own cat, I understand how important it is for pets to have a consistent routine and someone around who genuinely cares for them. I’m able to provide dependable care while also giving your pet the attention and companionship they need. I understand that every pet and home has its own routine, so I make it a priority to follow the instructions provided by each owner. In a client's home, I will make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive attention and playtime, and are comfortable in their familiar environment. I know cats especially can be sensitive to changes, so I believe keeping their normal routine is important. I’ll take the time to make sure they feel safe and cared for while also keeping owners updated with messages and photos. My goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both the pet and the owner.
“Natalie was an exceptional dog sitter who went above and beyond. She kept me updated with adorable pictures of my furry baby and cared for him as if he were her own. I am deeply appreciative of her kindness and professionalism, and I will absolutely rely on her services again in the future.”
“Ariel was absolutely wonderful! She was very communicative throughout the weekend, sending updates and pictures that gave me peace of mind. Archie was clearly well cared for and happy when I returned. I highly recommend Ariel and will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover. I raised two dogs from puppyhood. Lucy lived to 18, and my current pup, Porscha, is now 14. I also have a 15 year old cat, AppleJack, I’ve had since she was a kitten. So I know what it’s like to care for pets at every stage of life, from playful zoomies to slower senior strolls. I started pet sitting because I wasn’t looking to commit to another full time pet, but I still wanted to spend my days caring for animals and helping fellow pet parents. Whether it’s a quick walk, overnight stay, or just some company while you’re away, I’m here to give your pet the love and attention they deserve. I’m especially great with: Puppies and senior pets Shy or anxious animals Keeping routines and providing lots of updates (with cute pics!) At Playful Paws, your pet will feel safe, loved, and totally at home. I work fully remote, and so does my husband, which gives us the flexibility to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a morning walk, a midday check-in, or some evening cuddles, we’re usually home and available to help. Being remote means your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and we can easily adjust to their routine. Weekdays, weekends, we’re here to keep tails wagging and whiskers happy. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m visiting them in your home, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every pet like they’re my own, with patience, love, and respect for their routine. At home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with cozy spaces, a clean setting, and plenty of playtime. My husband and I both work remotely, so someone’s almost always home for companionship and supervision. In your home, I’m mindful of your space and your pet’s habits. I follow instructions closely, whether that’s meal times, meds, or favorite toys, and I always keep things tidy and secure. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your fur baby is in caring, capable hands.
