About: Hi! I'm Ilaria, originally from Italy and recently moved to Fort Lauderdale with a regular working visa. I'm currently in maternity leave and focused on take care of my family, which gives me the time and flexibility to look after not just my own dog, but also other four-legged friends. I've always grown up surrounded by animals. Over the years, I've had two Dobermans, two French Bulldogs, two cats, a hamster, and several tortoises. I now live with Watson, my friendly and social French Bulldog, who loves meeting new people and pets. I’m responsible, caring, and genuinely passionate about animals. I understand their needs and enjoy spending quality time with them—whether it’s going for walks, playing, or simply offering cuddles and company. Your pet will be in loving and experienced hands with me! Please note: due to my husband’s allergy, I’m unfortunately unable to care for cats. Thank you for your understanding. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I offer pet sitting at my home every day of the week, including weekends. Your pet will never be alone: my husband Gabriele, who will take care of your pet with me, works from home. One of us is always around to provide company and care. We have a designated dog area in our residential complex, which makes potty breaks and playtime easy and convenient. The neighborhood is also ideal for walks—it's very green, quiet, and shaded by trees, making strolls comfortable even on warmer days.
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.
About: Welcome! My passion for animals began at a very young age. Growing up in a household where I was not allowed to have pets of my own led me down a path of caring for others! I started off providing free pet care services to my neighbors, offering free walks and free in home pet sitting services while my neighbors were away from home. Over the years, I’ve volunteered at animal shelters and pursued animal care careers to feed my loving passion for animals. I have extensive experience with dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, genuine pigs and reptilians. From setting my alarm every 2-4 hours to potty train puppies, administering medications, or caring for senior pets, I tailor expertise to each client’s unique needs.

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!
“Gheraldine is very sweet! She was attentive in understanding Bruno’s needs for the day, and when I received my card at the end of the day, my dog was well looked after. Thank you!!”
“When I picked up my dog, he looked genuinely happy and comfortable. It was clear he was well cared for and enjoyed his stay. I really appreciate the great care, and I’ll definitely be leaving him more often in the future!”
“Amanda is amazing she is so accommodating!! Our dog was completely at ease and was excited to stay with Amanda each time we dropped her off. Highly recommend!!!”
About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Originally from Montreal, Canada, I am new to the Fort Lauderdale area. I possess a profound understanding of dog psychology and behavior, allowing me to recognize each dog's specific needs. My deep love for dogs is at the core of what I do, and I am committed to ensuring your pup feels at home while you are away or at work. I am working towards transforming my lifelong passion into a career. If you have any questions or concerns before booking a service with me, please don't hesitate to reach out. I am always happy to discuss and address any hesitations. I understand that the decision of whom to entrust with your pup is not easy, so please note that meet and greets are free, and I'd be glad to make time for a proper introduction. I'm all in when it comes to taking care of dogs. I provide full-time dog care services. Depending on the needs of the dogs I'm looking after, I ensure they get their necessary potty breaks, are fed on time, and enjoy plenty of playtime. If I ever need to step away, no worries - my dog-loving wife stays home with them, so your pup is always in good hands. I own an adorable 10-year-old Shih Tzu (Stanley) who enjoys making new friends. I've thoughtfully arranged my living room to accommodate crates of various sizes. Each dog is different so I’m happy to work with you to make sure your dog feels at home. I make sure the pups enjoy outdoor playdates at the dog park.
“We are beyond grateful for the wonderful care and love you showed our two dogs today! Your kindness, patience, and genuine affection made such a positive difference, and it truly put our minds at ease knowing they were in such capable and loving hands. Thank you for going above and beyond to make sure they felt happy and comfortable. We appreciate you so much and feel lucky to have found such a fantastic dog sitter!”
About: Family members have trusted me to care for their animals in ways such as walking, feeding, and keeping them company. Not only do I provide care for animals with a sense of diligence and nurture as if they were my own, but I also have over 12 years of childcare experience. I've boarded and walked dogs as little as 5 pounds to as large as over 100 pounds! Further, I welcome doggies and cats of all shapes and sizes! After numerous experiences with so many amazing pups I will openly disclose that if your pup is not neutered/spayed, is highly energetic, or pees often on the floor the puppy rate will be applied via Rover. What's great about my location is that although I live in a triplex, I have a safe and large gated space that the dogs often love to play and roam in. Further, I am a work from home mama so your animal will have lots of opportunities to go outside or simply have someone around. I often catch the pups sunbathing outside or by the front door. They love my space! I have a ton of flexibility and free time throughout the week as a work from home mama! I can do boarding and/or any form of pet care anytime throughout the week or weekends. Occasionally I may have something on my schedule but that can always be discussed via interview. My greatest desire is to cultivate a nourishing and creative environment for my 2-year-old son, therefore I'm a stay-at-home mommy and make money in ways that still allow me to be present with my son. Furthermore, most of the time he joins me on my pet care endeavors and we make it fun! I have a fenced in yard and it is shared with neighbors in my triplex. Most of us have doggies or kitties! Further, I have two 20-foot staked leashes outside that I will put on the dog if they prefer to hang out in the sun or simply outside for a while. I have a kitty crate and litter box if needed. I'm willing to cook food for your animal if they have a specific diet that they're on. Ultimately, my desire is to know what the pet's caregiver prefers for their pet and to do my best to honor their preference.

About: For over 10 years, I've cared for dogs of all kinds for friends and family. I've provided walks, feeding, playtime, house sitting, and in home boarding. Pets always receive dependable loving attention. Since I work from home full time, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent attention, timely walks, and drop-ins throughout the day. I can also work on the go, making it relatively easy to adapt to each pet's needs and routine. In my home, I provide a safe and comfortable environment that’s perfect for small to medium-sized dogs. Since I work from home, I’m able to spend the whole day with them, making sure they get plenty of walks, playtime, and attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect I would my own while keeping pets happy, healthy, and comfortable. My goal is always to make sure your loved one enjoys the best pup-cation possible!
“Nicole was prompt, efficient and handled the tasks professionally with care. Our dog Valentino was always happy to see her. Our cat Sohji, who never comes out for guests surprisingly showed up for a cameo pic! This is an indication that even Shoji was comfortable with her presence and care. We recommend Nicole as a competent and caring pet specialist. Nicole will always be our pet care specialist when needed.”
About: I have raised and taken care of dogs and cats my entire life. I have a whole life experience dog sitting, dog training, and dog walking. I have given my animals medicine and have taken care of puppies and old dogs. I handle every animal with love and care and spoil them with attention. I have also taken care of a dog for a wedding so that he could be the ring bearer! I recently moved states and I work full time. So house sitting, morning & night drop ins and morning & night walks will work best with my schedule! I have a high energy and high maintenance Australian shepherd . So I can handle big and high maintenance dogs. My own dogs are very spoiled and loved and your pets will be treated the same.
“Another great experience with Vadim! I went away for the weekend and he came to walk Bailey and take care of her each day I was gone, keeping me updated with lots of videos, giving her treats and keeping her happy. Vadim is always on time and an excellent communicator, I feel confident booking with them because I know my girl will be well taken care of, love seeing her wagging her tail in my updates! :)”
“Jessica was flexible and responsive. I had a short notice request and she was able to accommodate. Jessica was also able to establish an immediate connection with my dog, they had never met. Thank you Jess!”
About: What sets me apart is the level of personal attention and calm, consistent care I give to each pet. I treat every animal like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved and comfortable in their routine. I am reliable and truly passionate about creating a stress free experience for both vets and their owners. Pet care first perfectly into my daily routine because I am a full time mom ( grown kids) and home full time. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I care for pets by following their routine as closely as possible. Mealtime, walks and play. I take time to learn their personalities and what comforts them.
“Alyssa is amazing! She’s great with communication, set me lots of updates and pictures, and my dog absolutely loved her! Will definitely be rebooking!”
About: I’ve always been the go-to person friends and family trust with their dogs. I take pride in showing up, paying attention, and treating every pup with patience, care, and love. My goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable, happy, and looked after — just like they would at home. I work from home, so pet care fits easily into my day. I have plenty of flexibility to take dogs on walks, play, and give them attention throughout the day. Since I’m home most of the time (and available on weekends too), I’m able to keep a consistent routine that makes pets feel comfortable and cared for. I don’t have a yard, but that just means more adventures! I take dogs out several times a day for walks, playtime, and park trips. I focus on keeping their routine consistent — feeding, play, and rest — so they feel right at home whether they’re staying with me or I’m visiting them.
“Estefania is the best! She’s been my go-to for all visits and walks for a while now, and she’s just as fabulous as the first booking! She takes my dog on her full mile walk and sends amazing pictures and updates!”
About: Have grown up with dogs my entire life and absolutely love them! Even though I have always been a dog person, I now currently have two kitties. Love all creatures and their unique personalities. Also have experience with rescue dogs, dogs with behavioral issues, and dogs with medical issues that require special assistance. Currently, I work remotely from my home and am somewhat flexible. I am able to pop out in the day to complete a visit if necessary. I live in an apartment, so may not be ideal for larger dogs. I do have a grassy area outside and my building is very pet friendly.
About: Hi! My name is Julia and I’ve spent over 12 years working in veterinary medicine and healthcare-focused environments caring not only for animals, but also supporting and communicating with the people who love them. My background as a veterinary nurse gave me hands-on experience working with dogs and other animals in fast-paced environments while recognizing behavior changes, prioritizing safety, and helping pets feel comfortable and cared for. Today, I work in healthcare administration within a chiropractic practice where I wear multiple hats—including front desk leadership, patient coordination, scheduling, and administrative support—which has strengthened my organization, communication, and reliability. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is personal. My goal is to provide safe, dependable, and compassionate care while keeping owners informed and giving pets a positive experience. I’m currently offering limited part-time availability with a focus on evenings and select weekend hours. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care has been a part of my daily life for many years through both my professional and personal experience. With over 12 years working in veterinary medicine and now in healthcare administration, caring for others and maintaining routines comes naturally to me. My current schedule allows me to provide pet care primarily during evenings and select weekends, which gives me the flexibility to offer focused, dependable attention without overbooking. I intentionally keep my availability manageable so each pet receives quality care, patience, and individualized attention. I enjoy incorporating walks, playtime, feeding routines, enrichment, and quiet companionship into visits depending on each pet’s personality and needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible to reduce stress and help them feel comfortable and secure. I take time to learn each pet’s schedule, feeding preferences, activity level, favorite toys, and any household expectations before care begins. During visits, I focus on providing attentive care through feeding, fresh water, potty breaks or litter maintenance, playtime, exercise when appropriate, and calm companionship. My veterinary background also taught me to pay attention to behavior, comfort, and subtle changes that owners may want communicated. I provide updates and photos whenever desired so owners can feel connected and reassured while away. I believe good pet care is not just meeting physical needs—it’s helping pets feel safe, respected, and cared for in their familiar environment.
About: I have always had dogs growing up - from big to small. I use to watch my neighbors 2 elderly dogs when I was younger so I am use to all types. I have a rescue pit mix that I have had for about 7 years now and a 1 year old golden. So I am VERY use to all kinds of dogs 🙃. I just love animals, and I work from home. Therefore, I am looking for something to get out of the house some, and I love dogs! I work from home so I am very flexible, schedule wise. I can come morning, lunch time, evenings, or whatever works best for your pet. I live in a condo so I am not able to host any other pets. However, I am happy to come to your home to your pet.

Andrea sent me pictures and updates at least twice a day, which for me was a plus. Zoey and Molly were so happy and calm when I picked them up. I have already booked her again for our next vacation. I am happy to find a loving family to watch my girls while traveling.”
“Jennifer was amazing! She replied back to my booking request almost immediately and was very flexible with my last minute booking. Her communication was so great, she updated me on my dog and sent tons of pictures. Her yard and house are perfect and my dog had an absolutely amazing time! I will 100% be rebooking with her!”
“Kristi is the best sitter I have found for my shy dog Pepper. Pepper is always excited to see her and you can tell Kristi is such an animal lover. Exactly the kind of person you want taking care of your fur baby”
About: For over 10 years, I've cared for dogs of all kinds for friends and family. I've provided walks, feeding, playtime, house sitting, and in home boarding. Pets always receive dependable loving attention. Since I work from home full time, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent attention, timely walks, and drop-ins throughout the day. I can also work on the go, making it relatively easy to adapt to each pet's needs and routine. In my home, I provide a safe and comfortable environment that’s perfect for small to medium-sized dogs. Since I work from home, I’m able to spend the whole day with them, making sure they get plenty of walks, playtime, and attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect I would my own while keeping pets happy, healthy, and comfortable. My goal is always to make sure your loved one enjoys the best pup-cation 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!!!!”
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.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Our dogs were so happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We loved getting daily updates and photos while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pups were in such good hands, 100% recommend and will definately book with Judy in the future!”
“Svetlana went above and beyond with watching Milo. She provided numerous updates including pictures and videos of her time with Milo. She took him to the park every day to run around and play in the lake. She handled Milo very well who is a very energetic and needy boy. She ensured me he was no trouble at all. Will definitely book again!”
“I am so glad we found Thomas. After an Emergency with family we were able to leave our pups with him on very short notice, he kept us updated throughout and we were able to focus on the issue at hand. Our babies were very well taken care of and had so much fun with him.”
“William did a fantastic job watching Duncan while we were away over the weekend and we could tell that Duncan had a great time. He sent us pictures and updates. Will use him again!”
“Anita is sincerely caring with Kayla and welcomed her when she first entered her home. My husband and I felt a positive vibe upon meeting her and we will have Kayla visit soon!”
