“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.”

“Emelie is a fantastic dog sitter in so many ways. She was very responsive to messages, sent me updates and cute photos while I was away. She and her partner Jimmy clearly love dogs and they both have very gentle and sweet dispositions. I could tell my pup was very well taken care of and he was very affectionate to them both when I came back from my trip and picked him up. It’s been difficult to find a great dog sitter, and I’m so happy to have found Emelie. I recommend her services 100%!”
“This was the first time Stella and Astro stayed overnight… they were with Mary for 3 days. I think they want to go back and stay longer as they had such a good time. These two now expect me to give them multiple belly rubs and lots of attention. I was very pleased with Mary’s care with my pups ( who are now so spoiled) consideration for my concern while away. She is the best.”

About: I've always had a deep connection with dogs. I bring a very calming canine energy, and trust is gained quickly. Anyone who has a dog(s) and knows me well will ask me to sit for them when they can't provide the care their dogs need. When I retired from my successful 45 year sales career, I had planned on getting a dog. As it's turned out, my friends and neighbors with dogs have kept me very busy. And it's been the most fulfilling and gratifying chapter of my life. I just have an innate ability to connect with dogs and what I give to them, they give back to me. It's been a very rewarding time in my life now that I get to do what I love best: to be surrounded with canine company. And I can unequivocally and honestly say I'm very good at it. As I said, I'm retired and can easily accommodate the needs of prospective clients. I'm readily available and am very flexible with you and your dog's schedules. I live in my recently renovated condo in the very upscale community of Coral Ridge in Fort Lauderdale. It's a small two-story residence easily accessible to lush parks and magnificent estate homes. We have excellent security with a Neighborhood Watch and private 24 hour Coral Ridge Patrols. Patrolling
“Kristina is the best! Always very responsive and provides lots of updates and cute pictures of my kitty Glow when she babysits her. She gives me so much peace of mind and makes me feel like I can truly enjoy my travels when I’m away and not worry.”
“Nicole is top tier ! She is my go to and the only person I trust with my fur babies. She sends pictures and keeps me updated daily. 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.”
“Although Romy had limited exposure caring for cats as opposed to dogs, she quickly learned the differences and adapted accordingly. On a daily basis, Romy provided photos, summary of the visits and individual concerns about caring for my cats. This type of professional and extensive communication provided me with so much relief as I worried about about my fur babies 1,200 miles away. One crucial aspect of Romy’s care was how much she enjoys interacting with my cats. Not just a checklist at the end of the day! I highly recommend Romy to future clients especially because she really cares about fur Babies. As she becomes more acquainted with the cats, she modifies care based on the needs and personalities of individual fur babies. Finally, I could see day by day how much my big, orange marmalade tabby Mylo slowly fell in love with Romy. By the end of the week, I feared he would reject me and choose to live with Romy!”
“Shelby was amazing! She came by for 30 minute check ins over the course of two weeks while I was on vacation. She went above and beyond what I had hoped for and what any past”

About: I have owned dogs my whole life. Right now i own a extremely friendly cat. But I have dog care experience my whole life. Your dog will get plenty of play and exercise when they are with me. I live whiten short walking distance of two really nice parks. I am a huge animal lover so now need to worry about your pet not getting any affection from me. I have a large apartment so when your pet is inside my home it will have plenty of roaming room or plenty of carpet space for a nap. I am extremely flexible with times and dog sizes. I would love to do anything from board your dog to walking it to watching it in your home. I am a trustworthy people person. With me you will know your dog is safe and well cared for. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my weekly routine because I’ve built my schedule to be flexible and dependable. I make time each day to care for pets, whether it’s early morning check-ins, afternoon walks, or evening feedings and playtime. I prioritize reliability and punctuality, so I carefully plan my week to ensure every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Since I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, pet sitting is more than just a job—it's something I look forward to every day. Whether I'm working part-time or around school or other responsibilities, I always make sure to maintain consistent availability and communicate clearly with pet parents to meet their needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priority is to maintain a safe, clean, and comforting environment that helps pets feel relaxed and secure in their familiar space. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication routines, walk times, play preferences, and any specific behavioral needs. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection (if they want it!) while also respecting their boundaries and personalities. I keep the home tidy, clean up after the pets, and ensure food/water bowls, litter boxes, and sleeping areas are fresh and organized. I also provide regular updates and photos to keep pet parents informed and reassured. Trust and respect are important to me—not only for the pets but also for the homes I’m welcomed into. I treat every home with care and professionalism, just like I would my own. Unfortunately I can not care for pets in my own at this time because I live in a tiny studio apartment.

About: I have loved animals since I was a child, watching Discovery Channel and National Geographic. I adopted my dog, Coco Chanel, when she was 4 months old and she is now 13 years old. I began studying Pre-Veterinary Medicine right out of high school, but opted to follow my artistic endeavors in music. I addition to the great number of dogs I’ve boarded/walked and cats I’ve done drop in visits with, my experience is very personal, as it has just been my dog Coco and I for quite some time. Coco was very timid and frightened when I first adopted her and she has gradually come out of her shell, with patience and love. I would love a chance to care for your precious family member and I can guarantee a stay filled with love and compassion! I’m home full-time. If I’m out, it’s typically less than 8 hours. I work minutes from home, so I can always do a drop in to check up. All boarders have free range of my home, including a gated patio (with supervision)! A/C is always on and they always have access to the kitchen for water and food.
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

While I don’t currently have pets, I stay busy helping with my daughters’ three Australian Shepherds, as she travels often so I’m very familiar with energetic pups and structured routines. I offer drop in visits, walks and pet boarding, giving pets exercise, playtime, and affection while you're away. I strength train regularly and enjoy staying active with animals, so large dogs are no problem. Busy with a full time job and need someone to stop in? No problem. Traveling and want a trusted check in throughout the day or night? I’ve got you. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a mid day walk, or just some company and playtime while you're away, I’m here to help. I’m flexible. You can relax knowing your furry friend is in caring, capable hands. Heading out on a special work trip or vacation? No worries. I offer overnight pet care to give you peace of mind while you're away. Your pet will stay safe, loved, and well cared for the entire time. I make sure that their routines are followed, they get plenty of playtime, potty breaks, meals on schedule, and, of course, lots of affection. You can relax, knowing your furry friend is in good hands - almost like a vacation for them too! I pride myself on being very respectful of others’ homes and treat each pet like they’re my own. You can count on me to be dependable, gentle, and communicative. Looking forward to meeting your furry family! I am retired and available most hours of the day and all days of the week. However many times you need a check in, as long as it is not too far, I don't mind stopping by. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I focus on making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own space. I follow their routine closely whether that’s feeding, walking, playtime, or giving meds, and I always respect the home as if it were my own. I clean up after pets, double check that everything’s secure before I leave, and send updates so you know your pet is happy and in good hands!

About: As an enthusiastic and dedicated dog walker, I bring joy, exercise, and companionship to your furry friends. A lifelong dog lover, I've had dogs since I was a kid and deeply understand their needs and behaviors. With a commitment to their well-being, I ensure every walk is safe, fun, and tailored to your dog's needs. Trust me to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. Aldo I’m a freelance dog trainer! Pet care is a central part of my routine. Each day, I schedule specific times for walking, playing, and caring for dogs to ensure they get the exercise and attention they need. My weekly plan includes regular walking sessions and any necessary feeding tasks. Growing up with dogs, pet care is my passion. In my home, I create a safe and comfortable environment for pets, ensuring they have plenty of space, toys and a cozy resting area. I maintain a consistent feeding and exercise schedule and provide lots of love and attention. In clients' homes, I follow their specific instructions to maintain the pets' routines and comfort. I ensure the pets are fed, walked, and cared for according to their usual schedule, providing personalized attention to meet their unique needs.
“I am so glad Gesar is my dog walker! Charlie has been having so much and always worn out when I get home! They've done an awesome job with him :) Gesar really pays attention to small details and treats Charlie as his own, which I really appreciate. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable dog walker!”
“Maria was a blessing to us and our dogs! She was available last minute and took the time to come meet our two dogs before the first time she came while we were gone. We only hired her to come feed and walk the dogs while we were away for a long day and she took the dogs for a really nice walk both days. You can tell she really loves dogs and was so good with them. Thank you Maria!!”

“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!”

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. 🩷🩷🩷”
“Eduardo was great -- responsive, sent daily videos and updates, and really cared about ensuring Zack had a great stay with him. In all the videos, Zack's tail was wagging and he was happily playing with the other dogs. We were thrilled to find someone to take care of our dog while we were away. We used a large kennel previously but this was much better! Highly recommend and will definitely use Eduardo again!”
“Judy and her family take the best care of our babies!! They back home with full of love and happiness. They’re so thoughtful with some extra gifts for our babies too. We will definitely come back again!!”
About: I have owned dogs my whole life. Right now i own a extremely friendly cat. But I have dog care experience my whole life. Your dog will get plenty of play and exercise when they are with me. I live whiten short walking distance of two really nice parks. I am a huge animal lover so now need to worry about your pet not getting any affection from me. I have a large apartment so when your pet is inside my home it will have plenty of roaming room or plenty of carpet space for a nap. I am extremely flexible with times and dog sizes. I would love to do anything from board your dog to walking it to watching it in your home. I am a trustworthy people person. With me you will know your dog is safe and well cared for. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my weekly routine because I’ve built my schedule to be flexible and dependable. I make time each day to care for pets, whether it’s early morning check-ins, afternoon walks, or evening feedings and playtime. I prioritize reliability and punctuality, so I carefully plan my week to ensure every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Since I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, pet sitting is more than just a job—it's something I look forward to every day. Whether I'm working part-time or around school or other responsibilities, I always make sure to maintain consistent availability and communicate clearly with pet parents to meet their needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priority is to maintain a safe, clean, and comforting environment that helps pets feel relaxed and secure in their familiar space. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication routines, walk times, play preferences, and any specific behavioral needs. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection (if they want it!) while also respecting their boundaries and personalities. I keep the home tidy, clean up after the pets, and ensure food/water bowls, litter boxes, and sleeping areas are fresh and organized. I also provide regular updates and photos to keep pet parents informed and reassured. Trust and respect are important to me—not only for the pets but also for the homes I’m welcomed into. I treat every home with care and professionalism, just like I would my own. Unfortunately I can not care for pets in my own at this time because I live in a tiny studio apartment.
“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 :)”
“Daniela took such wonderful care of my dog! My dog is very nervous, and Daniela was incredibly patient, compassionate, and attentive to her needs. She kept me updated throughout the day on how she was adjusting and sent lots of pictures and helpful updates, which really put my mind at ease. She also kept me informed about how she was eating and wasn’t afraid to reach out and ask questions when needed. It’s very obvious that Daniela genuinely loves animals and cares about making them feel safe and comfortable. I felt completely confident that my dog was in good hands. I would absolutely use Daniela again and highly recommend her!”
“Sebastian was great with my little 7 month old silver lab, Finn. He kept me updated on my dog throughout the day, sent photos and all - I picked up a happy puppy tonight that was well taken care of!”
“The reviews speak for themselves and I’m grateful to have the opportunity to submit my own. Believe the 5 start reviews. Words don’t do Eben justice. For the first time I was able to sleep through the night knowing my dog was being taken care of as if I were there with him. The abundance of picture updates, texts, and checks in brought me the kind of peace money doesn’t buy. The prices are similar to boarding facilities but the quality of care is unmatched. Imagine the best version of yourself watching your dog while you’re away. Eben has the caring soul you look for when picking a sitter, just pure love and attention for your furry fam. He’s a natural at reading, studying, and understanding your dog, their personality and behaviors. It’s obvious he puts time into knowing his clients and their needs. Again, there’s not enough words or space in this box to describe the admiration I have for him and his care. I live 13 hours away and I’d unhesitatingly make the drive to FL just for him to watch my dog on long term stays time and time again. My dog is worth receiving the best care, and that just so happens to be Eben. Thank you for all you did!”
“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!!”
“Colleen and her family took really good care of our Golden Retriever Yelly. We received pictures and updates of Yelly daily, we could tell she was soo happy. This was our 1st time using Rover for sitting our dog and our flight got delayed so we ended picking our dog up much later than the pickup time. Colleen was so kind and understanding which we totally appreciate. I absolutely would love to book with her again! However, next time I’ll pay the extra day and grab the dog in the morning to avoid delays on my end. Thanks again for taking care of our baby Colleen.❤️❤️”
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.
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.
