Would definitely recommend her and will absolutely be using her again.”
“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.”
“Our dog Dixie recently stayed with Jerrie and Freeman several days for the first time. They took great care of her and kept us well informed on how she was doing with daily photos and videos. It was a stress free experience for us and Dixie enjoyed her stay and made some new furry friends while there. We certainly plan to take Dixie there again.”

So in a pinch, and on a holiday no less, I reached out to Kimmeth for help. She was fantastic. My cat was in great hands. She fed her extra wet food, made a pallet for her to hide and play in and got out some old toys for her to play with while we’re gone. 100% recommend and would hire again. Thanks for a great experience, Kimmeth.”

“Taylor did an amazing job taking care of my 2 kittens. This was my first time using Rover so I did not know what to expect. However, Taylor communicated very efficiently the entire time and sent great photos to reassure me the babies were ok. The house looked the same way as I left it which means the little were also behaving thanks to Taylor’s visits. Would definitely rebook for another trip!”

“Benson looked very comfortable in his day care photos and was so happy to hear he was well behaved with Porscha and Applejack! I would definitely work with Billi again”
“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. 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: 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.
“Rachael was very sweet! She responded to my booking request within just a few minutes and communication throughout Lola's stay was great. I felt like Lola was in good hands. I would definitely book with Rachael again and highly recommend her!”
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!!”
About: Hey there! I'm Agustina, and I’m a Senior at Florida State University planning on going into the medical field 🍢❤️ Ever since I can remember, I've had this deep longing to have a furry friend by my side. Animals have always been my passion – in fact, back in 5th grade, my dream job was to become a zookeeper just to be close to them. I love all types of animals... small rodents, dogs, cats, reptiles, birds. I love them all 😊 While I never had a pet of my own growing up, my parents often allowed me to care for our friends' and family's pets. Since I was 9, I've been changing litter, feeding, playing, and ensuring the well-being of various furry companions, ranging from dogs and cats to hamsters, fish, and even ferrets and birds. I'm even considering fostering a dog or cat in the near future. Thankfully one of my roommates has the sweetest chocolate lab named Luther, who is 9 and loves to sleep all day! 😴 Animals hold a special place in my heart, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to share my love for them by caring for other fur babies 🥰 By the way, my timing is flexible since I am taking lots of online classes – feel free to reach out anytime! My calendar is always updated on the app, so we can easily coordinate :) Looking forward to connecting! I’m currently a college student with online classes this summer. I’m available mostly anytime over the summer, just reach out and check with me! :) Despite never having had a dog, my deep desire for one fuels my dedication to pet care. I'm not able to host pets at my house, however, I'm willing to travel to clients' homes, ensuring their pets receive attentive care.
“This was the best thing. Ever! We’re on a long weekend in Key West and scheduled a dive excursion. I found Amanda on the app and after a few exchanges we set up the stay. She was amazing! She sent us pictures throughout the day and kept us updated. Our day out went a little longer than anticipated, but, Amanda didn’t seem to mind. Thank you so much for this! Our pup is sound asleep from a long day of play!”
“Duckie had so much fun with Michelle, her pack, and the other puppy guests! Michelle was so communicative and flexible, what a relief to have a place for our pup to play.”
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: 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!

“Very reliable and consistent. Christina does great with our pups and they look forward to their time with her. She even walked them in the rain! Thanks so much.”
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 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.
“I had a fantastic experience with Agustina! She was available on short notice and even offered a meet and greet beforehand, which gave me great peace of mind. During the visit, she took my dog Arya on her full walk (no shortcuts!), sent plenty of updates and adorable photos, and left a very detailed report afterward. It was clear Arya received so much love and attention—I felt completely worry-free. I will definitely be rebooking Agustina for future visits and recommending her to my friends. Highly recommend!”

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.
About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover and currently have a cat of my own. I grew up around lots of dogs through friends and family and have always been very comfortable with them and around different personalities and energy levels. I am also a very active person who loves being outside, going on walks and spending time in nature - having a pet join me is just an added bonus! I’m naturally an early riser and love starting my day outside. Since I work remotely, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time for walks, check-ins, and giving pets attention throughout the day. I think the best care comes from paying attention to each pet’s personality and needs. Every pet is different and I want them to feel safe, happy, and enjoy our time together.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life growing up, I have a dog myself as well. I play professional soccer and love to walk and would love some fur babies to join me!

I love to shower fur babies in love and consider myself a “dog whisperer” lol. I grew up with dobermans and family with small dogs so I am used to all sorts!

“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.”
“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.”
“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!!”
“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. 👏”
“Gheraldine was able to board Duke last minute. She was friendly and kind. Duke appeared to have a great time. She kept me updated all weekend and I will book again.”
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!
“Andrea and her family was amazing! My golden girls are so spoiled and for sure they got all the love and attention they like. 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.”
“I cannot recommend Natalie and her family enough! This was the second time they’ve watched my dog Nala while I was out of town, and once again, they were absolutely wonderful. It’s such a relief knowing Nala is in such loving hands—she truly adores them and gets so excited to be around their family. Natalie goes above and beyond to make her feel at home, and I can see how comfortable and happy Nala is when she’s with them. They are truly the only people I trust to watch her whenever I’m away. I’m so grateful for Natalie and her amazing family and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own! 🐾❤️”
“Another great stay with Antonio! This was a last-minute trip, and he was able to take care of Tulum. It’s such a relief knowing we have someone we trust to look after our dog when unexpected trips come up.”
“Ariel has been amazing keeping an eye on my baby Carmen! I travel a-lot for work and she’s been able to watch her for multiple days at a time. She’s great at communicating, sends pictures each day, and also makes sure to give her exercise everyday. I moved down here not too long ago and have struggled a bit with money, and she’s been great at being able to work with me on pricing! Ariel is great and I highly recommend you reaching out to her to watch your dogs! 👏🏻👍”
“Our dog, like so many people's dog, is a member of our family, so we are cautious about where he stays and who takes care of him. Sheena is amazing, sends us updates, and is really easy to communicate with and coordinate with. We are blessed to have her to watch our pup and would highly recommend 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”
“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 !”
“Sarah was absolutely fantastic with my dog, Milo, during his two-night stay. She was caring, professional, and kept me updated throughout, which gave me great peace of mind. Milo came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. It’s obvious she genuinely loves dogs and treats them like her own. I would not hesitate to leave Milo with Sarah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and exceptional dog sitter. Thank you, Sarah!”
“I’ve recently found Anita, and I couldn't be happier with the service provided. She took excellent care of Brownie while I was away. She is reliable, attentive, and truly showed her love for animals. I highly recommend Anita for anyone looking for top-notch care for their pets. Five stars all the way!”
“Jody’s was amazing!! New to town and going out of the country and she made us feel so comfortable. She sent photos every day and kept the line of communication open. Already booked 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.
“We love Judy and her family! We are repeat clients and make sure to book ahead when we can cause we don’t trust anyone else with our fur baby. She sends me daily updates on how my baby is doing and you can see how happy he is in all the pictures. I couldn’t ask for a better family to take care of my fur baby!”
“Kristy and her family were great! She even offered a meet and greet before we booked (no one has ever offered that to us befor on Rover). They took great care of Spike and sent us photos and kept us updated during our time away. Will book with them again if they’re available. Thanks Kristy!”
