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: 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!)

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.

You’ll get regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your fur baby is in caring, capable hands.
“Amelia took great care of our puppy Albie. Gave us daily updates and asked us for any rules she should follow. Would definitely recommend Amelia to care for your pup.”
“Felipe was amazing!! I’ve never felt more comfortable leaving my 3 dogs with anyone. They all had a great time, and I received so many pics! They usually don’t eat when I leave them with anyone, but they all ate and had soo many walks! Will definitely be booking with him again when I travel next month.”
“I honestly don’t have words for how great Jackie is. We had to leave our barely 5 month old puppy to travel for 5 days and she was in Jackie’s care. I was so worried - she’s never been away from us, so young and so small. Jackie was so great, I almost felt like Layla was sad to come home!! Haha. Jackie sent pics and videos with detailed updates daily and they were the highlight of each day. She is loving, attentive, affectionate and truly connects with your baby. She also speaks dog or something because the first time we met her she said “Oh! Layla has to go #2!” (I was holding her and we had just arrived) and sure enough - she had to go #2! Lol. Can’t thank you enough, Jackie!!!! If you’re looking for a sitter, you’ve found the best available in south Florida!!”
