Highly-rated overnight sitters - Coral Ridge
“Juan Pablo took excellent care of our two dogs. He sent us regular pics and videos. He provided a positive social environment with his dog and other neighbour’s dogs. It was like one big Chi family. We had a great time on our vacation knowing our dogs were well taken care of. The peace of mind is priceless!”
“Finding someone you trust to watch your dog is a big deal! Adrian was wonderful with Mica and sent many pictures where he looked very happy. The doggy playmates were wonderful for him. Adrian has an obvious love and compassion and it shows in Mica when he came home. We will be using her again.”
“Banksy had wonderful time with Gregory. He sent plenty of pictures and updates. He was also so understanding of Banksy's medical needs. We look forward to using him again.”
“Payal was amazing taking care of Ted! Communication was 10/10: she shared pictures and videos all the time, and I could clearly see my dog was happy and in great hands. I strongly recommend her!”
“Taylor was amazing with my dog Ozzy! She kept me updated, made me feel completely comfortable while I was away, and treated him like her own. Ozzy was so happy and well taken care of when I got back. I would absolutely trust Taylor again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“What a great experience with Nicole - it was so good my dog Mocha didn't want to come home :) Fantastic communication from the moment we met and during the stay received many photos and videos showing me how happy Mocha was. She can't wait to come back !”
“Jessica was the best! She has great energy and will protect your dogs at all cost! My two girls are not quite trained yet and my anxiety for leaving was sky high but Jessica reassured me they were ok and she made whatever adjustments she needed to for everyone to have a great experience. Highly recommend.”
“Arlen was great. We did a meet and greet before boarding to make sure everything was a good fit, and Lady, who is normally a very anxious dog, seemed super comfortable right away and immediately started exploring the space. Arlen sent daily pictures and was very accommodating throughout the stay. My flight was canceled the day I was supposed to pick Lady up, and Arlen truly saved the day by being flexible and able to continue accommodating her. It spared me the added stress of worrying about boarding plans while already dealing with the stress of canceled travel. I would absolutely book with him again.”
“Use Rover for the first time and so glad it was with Amelia. She made everything super smooth and easy to leave Olivia while we went on vacations. When we got home after a long flight Olivia was already waiting for us.”
“Fantastic dog watcher! Jose sent us pictures the whole time of all the fun things he did with our doggy Luna while watching her. Fantastic communication from Jose and was able to accommodate a last minute pickup time change. Thanks Jose!”
“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!”
“JoJo had a very nice time staying with Carmel and her family. He got along great with her two dogs. He was super happy when I picked him up. That's how he lets me know he approved of his stay. He even came to the door barking at me, being the little protector of his new home. Too cute! The house is well fenced in and gated, including a screened in front porch, so there was never any worry about JoJo sneaking out or running through an open door in the house. I definitely recommend Carmel and will use 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.

“I used Camila and her daughter to sit my furbaby Primo and it was a great experience! He seemed very happy and well taken care of throughout. They were flexible with drop off and pick up times which made it a lot easier on me. Great experience and I highly recommend them for anyone looking for a sitter. THANK YOU!!”
“Our senior German Shepherd, Warwick, stayed with Natalie for 4 nights. Natalie kept us updated with news and photos from his stay, and we felt comfortable knowing that our boy was in good hands. We will definitely reach out to Natalie again. Having a senior dog is a responsibility and I knew he was well cared for. Thank you.”
“This was our first time using Rover. It took us a little while to find the right person but we feel like we did! Valeria was amazing right from the start. My fiancee and I felt comfortable leaving our puppy with her before leaving for our trip. She sent updates 2-3 times a day and Zoe had an amazing time.”
“Gheraldine & her partner took incredible care of my five year-old boxer. He is very skittish and doesn’t warm up easily. Geraldine went as far to hand feed him and cooked him a special treat in order to motivate him to eat. They took their time with Cassius and now I wouldn’t take him to anyone else!! Gheraldine sent photos daily and even included some videos. It felt so reassuring to know that my dog was in such good hands!”
“Angela was great. I received pictures from her daily, sometimes multiple pictures throughout the day. She would also leave comments about how they were doing. And she would reach out and ask me questions if she needed to. Her home appeared very clean and taken care of. And her back yard looked like a great place for my dogs to wander around, explore and enjoy - yet be safe (no escaping, etc.). I will definitely use again if I need to board my dogs and highly recommend her.”

“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: 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 miss working with animals, making those connections and an impact on their life.

She noticed my fur baby was hungry and she texted to make sure it was ok to feed her( she’s a picky eater) and even sent food home for her to try again. I highly recommend Linda to take care of your dog.”

“I had to find a sitter very last minute due to an unexpected conflict, and Kat truly came through for me when I was in a bind. She responded quickly, was extremely understanding of my situation, and immediately put me at ease. Her communication was excellent—she sent regular updates and photos throughout the day, which really helped calm my anxiety and let me know my pup was happy and well cared for. Kat’s building was a huge bonus—it’s extremely dog-friendly and has the cutest pups lol There was a private dog run right along the water that she was able to take my sweet dolly to,and a gorgeous park just across the street. It was clear from the updates that my dog was getting plenty of outdoor time and stimulation. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better setup. Reliability is everything when trusting someone with your pet, and Kat exceeded expectations. She was warm, professional, and totally dependable. I would absolutely book with her again 💖”

Sandy came home happy, relaxed, and clearly loved during her stay. We would absolutely recommend Ely to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable to watch their furry family member. She is amazing, and we are so grateful we found her!”

“Marcos was awesome. He provided daily photos, videos, and care to Max as if I was still with Max at home. Max is very high energy and Marcos loved on Max with protective love and care. Thank you so much Marcos, Max truly enjoyed himself and even socialized with other dogs while I was away. Thank you for caring for my big baby Max.”
“Definitely a 5 Star sitter. I contacted Taylor on very short notice. She responded within 10 minutes. She was watching my dog with in 1 hour. My dog Cookie really liked staying with Taylor. She was very loving to my dog. Taylor sent me several pictures and videos of my dog during the day. I would highly recommend Taylor to watch your pet. We are definitely going to use Taylor again to watch my dog. 👏”
