“Absolutely amazing and I highly recommend! Valeria and her family are absolutely incredible. I am that protective dog mom that always wants to make sure that my baby is taken care of and I could’ve not asked for a better family than hers to watch my Macimus for the weekend. She was in constant communication with me always updating me with photos and even made me a Mother’s Day card from Mac when I picked him up. She truly goes above and beyond and I highly recommend her if you’re looking for a lovely and responsible family to take care of your fur baby when you are out of town.”

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.

“Jackie was amazing with my dog! He absolutely loved her. She was also great at communicating with me throught his entire stay which is an added bonus. Her services were excellent and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Kelly is the absolute BEST! From the moment we arrived my fur baby felt at ease and was excited to play. Her home is clean and has a doggy summer camp vibe with all the toys she provides! Rosie is very attached to me so I felt at ease with all the photos and videos Kelly provided me of Rosie having fun! To be honest, I think Rosie was a litttle sad to leave. I will definitely be using Kelly again and would 10 out of 10 recommend her!”

“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!”
“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 💖”

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.

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.
“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”

“Jackie was amazing with my dog! He absolutely loved her. She was also great at communicating with me throught his entire stay which is an added bonus. Her services were excellent and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Kelly is the absolute BEST! From the moment we arrived my fur baby felt at ease and was excited to play. Her home is clean and has a doggy summer camp vibe with all the toys she provides! Rosie is very attached to me so I felt at ease with all the photos and videos Kelly provided me of Rosie having fun! To be honest, I think Rosie was a litttle sad to leave. I will definitely be using Kelly again and would 10 out of 10 recommend her!”

“Amelia is amazing! Our dog Kane loved her and she had a beautiful garden yard for him to roam. He was the only dog being boarded so she gave him so much love & attention. She sent us pictures of him regularly on our trip and has an obvious heart for animals. Thank you Amelia!”
“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. 👏”
“Fantastic experience and great communication before, during and even after our dog’s stay. We got a clean, healthy and happy dog back after 10 days. Clean house with fenced backyard, we will certainly be return customers!”
“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.”
“Book with them, you won't regret it! They truly are chosen for this occupation. I have an older dog that needs a little extra care. They went above and beyond with soothing his separation anxiety. Communication was excellent, I received daily pictures of him which truly did help me. My pup did exhibit some new behaviors but they handled everything professionally. Will book again!”
“Jennifer is amazing! She was available last minute since my other sitter cancelled! My pup Buddah loves her and her pup! She sent pictures which I love and made me feel very confident in leaving my baby with her!! She’s thoughtful, sensible and very caring. I will be using her again!”
“Wonderful couple! They were very attentive to Luke and sent me multiple updates which included pictures and videos of Luke. They were very friendly and loving to my baby. The house is very clean with a spacious clean back yard. It was like a perfect vacation for Luke while I went out of town.”
“I’m a repeat customer and Miss Violet is always as happy as can be when pick her up from a stay with Sean. Great communication and has been flexible, which is so appreciated !”
“Ariel took great care of my dog while I was out of town. I have a very nervous, anxious dog but she quickly got comfortable with Ariel. She sent me updates and pictures every day so I could relax on my trip knowing my dog was being well taken care of. I recommend using her for boarding and will rebook.”
“Alexa and her dog Kara were amazing with my pup Anakin! She took incredible care of him while I was away! She was thoughtful, attentive, and so loving. Anakin and Kara became fast friends, and I got daily updates that made me feel totally at ease. When I picked him up, he was happy, healthy, and clearly had a great time. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Alexa again. Highly recommend!”
“Marley had another great stay with Antonio! This is her second time staying with him and when she saw him she put her paws on his shoulders and gave him kisses :) She’s not a huge people-dog so this was an excellent sign that she loves and feels comfortable with him! She came home happy and relaxed. Marley is our world and we feel so lucky to know that she has a safe place to stay when we are away and has someone like Antonio to look after her and give her lots of treats and attention! Thank you again Antonio!”
