“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.

I felt total peace and no stress that she fit I with the pack and she was playing great with the other dogs, and she even got some pool time in because she loves the water. Thank you for taking great care of my little girl Luna. Sincerely, Paul Olivarez”
“Angela was very responsible with our dog Cooper. Dog was always kept safe in an enclosed area. She always kept us updated with pictures through the day. We where really happy with her. Thank you very much!!”

“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!”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for more than 30 years, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Growing up, my Golden Retriever was my constant companion and best friend. That early bond taught me the importance of patience, trust, and the unconditional love that pets bring into our lives. Over the years, I've cared for dogs, birds, and rabbits, giving me experience with a variety of personalities, needs, and care routines. From energetic pets who love playtime and walks to older animals who need a gentler touch, I understand that every pet deserves individualized attention and care. One of my most meaningful experiences was rescuing my Chihuahua/Jack Russell Terrier mix in 2018. When I brought him home, he was severely infested with fleas and needed extra care, patience, and treatment to become healthy and comfortable again. Helping him recover strengthened my commitment to providing animals with the love and support they need to thrive. I've also cared for my brother's Yorkie during a period of illness, ensuring he received consistent attention, comfort, medication, and monitoring. This experience taught me the importance of being attentive to changes in a pet's behavior and maintaining a calm, reassuring presence when they're not feeling their best. As a pet caregiver, I treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs companionship, exercise, playtime, feeding, medication reminders, or simply someone who genuinely enjoys being around animals, I will provide dependable, loving care and regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or feathered) family members!

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

About: I have over five years of personal experience with cats and dogs. In my homeland, my daughter and I raised a wonderful cat whom she named Lucia, in honor of Lucifer 😀 Later on, I cared for a dog and a kitten. Currently, I live with a friendly dog named Luna, and we have a spiritual connection. I'm always surrounded by paws, these cuties make me happy, and we spend wonderful time together happily, safely, and comfortably! Pet care is a natural part of my daily life because I live with a dog. My flexible schedule allows me to easily fit drop-in visits into my morning, afternoon, or evening routines. When visiting your home, safety and trust are my top priorities. I strictly follow all owner instructions, keep doors locked, and ensure your pet is happy, fed, and safe before I leave.

I highly recommend Linda to take care of your dog.”

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.

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.

About: Hello my name is Gael and I'm the proud parent of a 14 year old Pug named Sancho. I love dogs and grew up with both big and small dogs. I enjoy meeting new furry friends and giving them the love and care they deserve while you are away. We live in a quite nice neighborhood and enjoy going for long walks at night. I was previously a dog sitter with DogVacay so I've had experience with different types of dogs and updating parents regularly through the app. Note that since Sanch is around 23 lbs I would like to care for small and medium size doggiesthat are also around the same size and no more than 25lbs. I am also able to administer medication and accommodate any special feeding needs. I work from home and I'm available to take your doggie out when needed and attend to any other needs during the day. They usually sleep in the bed or their own if they want. I live in a quiet and safe townhouse apartment with stairs, small patio and green adjacent areas for walks and potty brakes in the shade.

About: My passion for dogs goes far beyond simply walking them—it has been a significant part of both my personal and professional life for many years. As the owner of Dog Activity World, a successful dog daycare and boarding facility, I was responsible for the daily care, safety, and well-being of countless dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. Operating a daycare and boarding business taught me how to understand canine behavior, manage group dynamics, recognize signs of stress or illness, and provide individualized care based on each dog's unique needs. Whether working with energetic puppies, senior dogs, shy dogs, or highly social dogs, I learned that every dog deserves patience, attention, and genuine affection. What sets me apart is the depth of my hands-on experience. I have cared for dogs not just for an hour at a time, but around the clock, ensuring they were safe, exercised, happy, and loved while their families were away. I understand the trust pet owners place in someone caring for their dogs, and I take that responsibility seriously. Today, I bring that same level of professionalism, reliability, and compassion to every walk and visit. My goal is not only to provide exercise but also to give each dog positive interaction, mental stimulation, and personalized attention while giving owners complete confidence that their beloved family member is in experienced and caring hands. I am available during the week and some weekends. I can handle all sorts of medicine and injections if needed. I am also Pet CPR certified. Your dog’s safety and care is what I value most. I try and look at the world through dog’s eyes and what they need and want most. You’ll receive photos and reports after every visit. I am Pet CPR certified.
“Dahyana and Fernando were really great. Fernando was extremely patient with my senior dog who is a slow starter but then moves quickly. She was always happy to see him. I highly recommend them. Thank you.”
About: I am a dog bather with 3 awesome fur babies of my own!! I have an American Bulldog, Rotsky, and a Pit Bull along with 3 kitties🥰 I have very open availability 7 days a week.

Please note that depending on where you’re located I may ask for a small fee for meet & greets as I don’t have a car and typically Uber or bus to meet pet parents. I have had pets ever since I was a little kid so I know all the ins and outs of how to care for any of your babies. Additionally, I became a professional dog bather 2 years ago and have learned many habits and behaviors that other people may not be able to pick up on. I am currently a mom to 3 dogs, 3 cats, 2 birds, and a little bunny. So even if there are other pets in your home aside from dogs, I’m here for them too! I work with any and all pets. Dogs that pull while walking, seniors, puppies, pets with disabilities, grumpy cats, I’m here for EVERYONE.

I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in such caring and capable hands. She went above and beyond — sending regular updates, photos, and thoughtful notes after each walk.

I love caring for all sorts of animals and do my best to make sure both pets and parents are happy! Currently working Monday - Friday until 3 PM. MY weekends and afternoons are free for walks. During your winter and summer vacations i am available for boarding as well. Dogs are free to roam the living room and front and backyard while i keep watch. I love to walk and get my steps and would love to have a walking buddy.
About: About Me Hi, I’m Corey — a lifelong animal lover and dedicated caretaker with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and everything in between. After a fulfilling career in real estate and finance, I made the intentional decision to step back and invest my time in the things that matter most to me — and caring for animals is at the top of that list. This isn’t a side gig for me. It’s a passion I’ve carried my entire life and now have the time and freedom to fully devote myself to. My Experience Over the past two decades, I have personally rescued six dogs and three cats — often while having my own pets at home — finding them safe, loving placements with family and friends when needed. I have a genuine instinct for animals in need; on more occasions than I can count, I’ve spotted a stray, taken them in, and made sure they were safe and cared for. Most recently, a pair of small dogs found wandering a parking garage ended up becoming beloved pets for my nephews. That’s just how I’m wired. Beyond rescue, I have extensive experience with: • Overnight pet sitting and house sitting • Daily dog walking • Medication administration (oral and routine care) • Dogs and cats with special needs or specific routines • Honoring particular owner requests — because no one knows your pet better than you do I am also a certified dog walker and pet sitter through Rover, with a completed background check on file. My Promise to You I understand deeply how hard it is to leave your pet behind. They’re not just animals — they’re family. My goal is to give you genuine peace of mind by providing the same attentive, loving care I give to my own animals. You’ll have a reliable, experienced caretaker who truly enjoys every moment spent with your pet — not someone just going through the motions. Your baby is in great hands! Currently taking time off after working long hours in a high profile career after many years. I am a lifelong resident of Fort Lauderdale living in Imperial Point. I have a lot of free time on my hands and have a very flexible schedule. I am able to provide almost any care or service you may have. If you’re yard isn’t fenced I will always use a leash and will be sure to pick up after them to keep your neighbors happy on walks.
“Luzmar was amazing! Her love of dogs and her responsible caring were outstanding. I was scared my dogs had such fun that they didn’t want to come back! I will use luz time and again.”
“Sheena had made Matcha super happy. She came to pick-up Matcha for a walk at the scheduled time everytime. Highly recommend calling Sheena to walk your puppy as well!”
About: Reliable, flexible, and loving! I am available 7 days a week for in-home sitting, drop-in visits, and quick potty breaks tailored to your pet's needs. Having raised animals my entire life—including four dogs and cats from newborns until senior years I understand the unique care required for every life stage. I’ve personally raised them all with patience and love and can't imagine life without them. My current companion, Bones, is a happy 2-year-old I’ve raised, house trained while teaching basic social skills starting at 8 wks old I treat every pet like my own. I’m also happy to follow any specific routines you may have and will provide regular photo/text updates so you never have to wonder how your best friend is doing. I’m available any day of the week while your dog or 🙀 is in my care they’ll get plenty of love, attention and supervision throughout the day. I provide peace of mind by maintaining a secure and tidy environment while you’re away. I am diligent about following feeding schedules, administering medications if needed, and performing safety sweeps of the home during every visit. I treat your home with the same care and attention I would my own, ensuring a safe, happy space for your pets

“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.

“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.

I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Alexa again. Highly recommend!”

“I recently hired Amelia to take care of my furry child while I was out of town for some time. I have never been more impressed with a cat sitter than I was with Amelia! She was friendly, professional, and clearly very experienced with pets. From the moment I met her, I knew that Nano would be in good hands. Amelia took the time to get to know Nano and his personality. She provided me with daily updates and photos, which really put my mind at ease. Amelia went above and beyond what I expected from a cat sitter. It was such a relief to know that everything was being taken care of while I was away. Overall, I cannot recommend Amelia enough. She is a true professional and a genuine cat lover. I will definitely be using her services again in the future! Thank you, Amelia!”
“Tom was great with Delilah and she had a really good time playing with other dogs, swimming, and hanging out with Tom’s son. We got a lot of updates with photos and videos. Definitely would recommend.”
“Coreen and her family were great, she sent the cutest photo updates and replied quickly to any messages. Will definitely be using her whenever I am out of town. Thank you SO much!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Luz was amazing with Brownie and I can tell that he was loved and cared for. She sent me video updates daily and I will definitely use her services again in the future”
“This was my first time using leslie and I am just so happy. I’ve had a lot of dog sitters, but she was so responsible and knowledgeable and I really did believe that Finnley was having a good time and felt loved when I was away! She sent me so many updates and videos which I loved, but I didn’t feel the need to even ask for updates because I really knew he was having the best time. She took him on walks. Let him relax in the backyard with her and I pray she can be available for me next time!! P.s I left for my vacation in such a rush. I didn’t even get to meet her in person and she took perfect care of Finnley just threw my written instructions!”
“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.”
“Jackie is fantastic! From the 1st correspondence to the meet & greet to the actual stay, she is professional and quick to respond. Jojo got great care and attention during her 2-day stay with Jackie. We received lots of photos, which we appreciated very much. It's a relief to know Jojo has a home-away-from-home when she can't travel with us.”
“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!”
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.
