“Catherine is incredibly caring and thoughtful with my dog––from what time and how long to walk her during summer months to giving her medication and meals to providing me photos of how she's doing and how happy she is.

“Amazing sitter! Went way above and beyond. Hit the stratosphere in terms of pet sitting. Firstly, he handled four cats, which is already big ask. On top of that, one is on prescription food. Then, when one of the automatic feeders I had started malfunctioning, he visited every night to make sure the cat got his food and set up a back-up feeder. He also came over to get an unexpected package for me. Sent tons of pictures, videos, updates, and just generally took care of me and the cats very well. Highly recommend; I will definitely be rebooking.”

About: I am a lifelong animal lover who understands that pets are family. Over the years, I've cared for my own dogs, fostered rescued dogs while they waited for their forever homes, and helped family and friends care for their pets. Every animal deserves patience, kindness, and individualized attention, and that's exactly what I provide. Fostering rescue dogs taught me how to work with pets of different ages, personalities, and backgrounds. Some needed extra patience while adjusting to a new environment, others needed help building confidence, and many simply wanted affection and consistency. That experience has made me a calm, observant, and compassionate caregiver. Whether you're away for work, traveling, or just need an extra hand, I'll make sure your pet receives the same love and attention they receive at home. I take the time to learn your pet's routine, favorite activities, feeding schedule, medications (if needed), and any special preferences so they stay comfortable and happy while you're away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. I work part time from home. What your pet can expect -Lots of love, attention, and one-on-one care -Happy to cuddle with the dog who just wants to curl up beside me—or head out for long walks and adventures with the energetic pup who loves to explore and socialize -Playtime, enrichment, belly rubs, and plenty of affection -Care that follows your pet's normal routine, including meals, medications, and any special instructions -Photo and video updates so you can see how much fun your pet is having =A dependable sitter who will treat your furry family member as if they were my own

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 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.
“I couldn't be happier with Raquel as a dog sitter! She was incredibly responsive, sending me regular updates and photos, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. Raquel went above and beyond by taking my dog on longer walks than I expected and making sure she got plenty of playtime. When I got home, I found the sweetest handwritten card from her. Such a thoughtful touch that really made my night coming home to! Raquel is wonderful with pets, and I’d wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and attentive sitter <3”

“Michelle is great with my German Shepherd Husky mix. All her reviews are 100 accurate. Takes good care of my pup, provides updates every single time and always friendly. Won’t be disappointed!”
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.
“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!”

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.
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.
“Jennifer took really great care of Mimi, sent regular updates and was always in touch and easy to communicate with. So happy we found her, and will gladly entrust her with caring for our sweet pup for any future trips :)”
“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!!!”
“They were really attentive and sent me updates regarding my cat Cleo. Cleo is a hider and they didn’t have any issues with accommodating her as she opens up later to be social. Really communicative and friendly, Nice people. Booked last minute for my trip to PR and they accepted Cleo for my long week of vacation. Will definitely use again. 🩷🩷🩷”
“Marley always has an amazing time with Ali which is why we keep bringing her back! She is so great with high energy dogs and so flexible with our crazy lives when we need to change things around at the last minute. Cannot recommend her enough!”
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.
“Antonio was wonderful with Piper! She spent a little over one week with him at his home and I got pictures, updates, and came home to a happy and healthy Chihuahua :)”
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!
“Our dog loved her! When there was a problem she let us know right away and was able to fix it with our help! Super accommodating and loving towards our sweet Kane. Definitely would book again and recommend!!!!”
“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! ❤️🐾”
“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!!”
