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.

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 received communication throughout the stay and felt comfortable that our dog was well cared for; would definitely book again and recommend.”
“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”
“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 💖”
“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”

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.

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.

“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. 👏”
“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.”
“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.”
“It was Zack’s 2nd visit with Amelia. He is always so excited to go and is always well looked after and has a huge smile on all the photos while there. We know he is well looked after and has a great time. We look forward taking him to her as much as he enjoys going”
“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!”
“Anita Took great care of our precious baby. She was so happy during her stay with her. We really appreciate it and it allowed us to truly enjoy our trip. Thank you so much, Anita!”
“Jody was wonderful; she did a great job caring for Pistachio during our wedding weekend. In addition to simply watching Pistachio, we asked Jody to do a huge favor, to walk Pistachio (our 'flower girl') down the aisle at our wedding. Jody was happy to help. She is super friendly, gregarious, and a charming wedding guest. She also took some phenomenal photos of our wedding which she shared with us. Thanks a lot, Jody!”
“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!”
“Laura and her husband Felipe were great sitters for our dog Lucy and kitten Gino. They understood a meet and greet was important for us as this a was the first time we left our kitten with anyone outside of our home. During their stay, they kept us posted on their status letting us know they ate and slept and also sent pictures. I am definitely using them again.”
“Natalia and her family took such amazing care of my pups while I was gone for a long weekend! Both of my pups love kids and had such a good time they didn’t want to leave 😂 We encountered bad weather in the trip back home and she was so flexible and understanding, allowing them to stay an extra night! and the fact that they were with someone around the clock made gave me so much relief since they both are with me all day working remote. 100% recommend and will be coming back to Natalia to sit on my next trip!”
