“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.”
“Jerrie and Freeman were fantastic! From the minute I dropped her off until the minute I picked her up, I felt like my Lucy was safe and well taken care of. I got so many great pictures, videos, and updates of how the stay was going all weekend long. I was thrilled with the care they gave Lucy and I will definitely be using them again!”
“Wow, what a great experience with Valeria taking care of my little baby! This was my first time using a sitter and I was really missing my pup.

“Irina was absolutely amazing with Max. From the moment we met her, I felt comfortable leaving him in her care.

I will definitely be returning him soon.”
“Mafalda with great with my 2 kitties! She kept me updated with video's and photos which help to feel at ease knowing they are getting fed and some snuggles. On the last day she even swept up the area around my liter box which was really nice to come home to:). Thank you Mafalda! Will book again:)”

I have peace of mind knowing that my dog is in good hands. Definitely recommend Brigitta to anyone who needs to find a reliable sitter for their dog!”
“As a worried mom of a 9 week old puppy I was hesitant to leave her with someone new for the first time but Natalie made me feel so much at ease updating me throughout the day while I was at work and and reassuring me that she was doing great. I will be booking with her again! 🐶”
“Camilla and Maribela were amazing take care of our two dogs for the day! They were very sweet and attentive to the two pups, and sent us the cutest photos of the dogs having a great time. We were running late to pick up the dogs due to traffic, and they were so accomodating and understanding. We will go to them again when we need a dog sitter!”

“My dog shadow told me he had the best time with Valerie!!! She is literally the best! She sent me photos of shadow every day, I was able to communicate with her easily and coordinating everything was super easy. She is probably the best dog sitter here on Rover!!!”
“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!!”
“Maria is definitely a 5 Star pet sitter! We contacted her somewhat last minute for our 2 pups. She was so friendly and welcoming, also sent several photos and updates throughout the day which was so comforting.”
“Great sitters for the evening while we had dinner out. Our dog has severe anxiety, happy pup as long as he humans like Vadim & Stacy to keep him company.”
“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”
“Francis was amazing! I had never left our 4 month old puppy with a dogsitter before, but I felt so comfortable leaving him with Francis. She has a beautiful open home where the doggies can play inside and outside all day and receive lots of human attention. When I brought our dog back for the second day he was so excited to see Francis! She is so warm and loving. I have already booked her 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 arrived in Fort Lauderdale for an extended vacation. Between the long drive here from Chicago and the different settings on the way our somewhat clingy dog was even more clingy and nervous than usual. She was at our side constantly, but we needed to find a sitter for a few hours/days to allow us to golf, fish, etc. without the dog at our side. Tho we were nervous about leaving Bella with a stranger in a new place, it all worked out beautifully. Jody's house was well set up for pets and her own dogs were very friendly. Jody was very welcoming and calmed our fears. When we returned, we half expected to see our dog acting anxious, but she was just as calm and happy as if she had spent the day with us. We won't hesitate to call on Jody again for our next outing. We'd recommend Jody to anyone needing someone to care for their dog while away.”
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!
“Sandra and her family were amazing and took such a good care of our puppy. Sent us pictures during the day and made sure he’s happy! Sandra is so sweet and communicates so well. Soka loved his stay.”

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.

Feel free to request, even if it’s last minute or same day! I treat every pet with respect when I first meet them. I always make sure to read their body language and let them get to know me first. I love to play and give your pet lots of attention. I always make sure to follow their routine. I also give regular updates with photos or videos!

About: Hello! My name is Stephanie and I'm a stay at home mom. I’m home throughout the day and have the flexibility to provide reliable drop in visits and unrushed walks. I enjoy getting outside and staying active, so daily walks and playtime are something I genuinely look forward to. During drop in visits, I make sure your pet’s needs are fully met with fresh water, feeding, potty breaks, play, and of course lots of affection. For walks, I prioritize safety, awareness, and making sure your dog gets both physical exercise and mental stimulation at their own pace. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine. Whether your dog is high energy and loves long walks or prefers a slower, sniff and stroll pace, I’m happy to tailor each visit to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. You can feel confident knowing your fur baby will receive attentive, dependable care and be treated like family while you’re away. As a stay at home mom, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to offer flexible scheduling for drop in visits and walks. I’m able to plan my day around your pet’s needs whether that’s a morning potty break, a midday visit, or an afternoon walk. Because I’m already in a structured routine, I’m dependable and consistent. I understand how important timing is for feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, and medication if needed, and I make punctuality a priority. Weekdays are typically very open, and I’m also available for many weekends with advance notice. My goal is to provide reliable care that feels seamless and stress free for both you and your pet. When caring for pets, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. During drop in visits, I follow your pet’s routine closely, making sure they have fresh water, proper feeding, clean litter boxes, and safe spaces to relax. I always supervise interactions and pay attention to any changes in behavior or health. For walks, I keep dogs on a leash at all times, stay aware of surroundings, and adjust the pace and route to suit their energy level and comfort. I also make sure your home stays secure by keeping doors locked, gates closed, and anything potentially harmful out of reach. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with gentle care, respect for their personality, and patience while building trust. My goal is to create a safe, stress free, and happy experience for your fur baby while you’re away.

“I cannot recommend Marrianne enough! She did an absolutely amazing job caring for my dog. From the very beginning, communication was clear, prompt, and professional. 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. It was obvious my dog was happy, comfortable, and genuinely enjoyed their time together. I came home to a relaxed, well-exercised, and very content pup. It’s such a relief to find someone trustworthy, reliable, and truly passionate about what they do. I will definitely be booking again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional care for their furry family member! Thank you again for everything! 🐾💛”

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.

“10000/10 would definitely recommend having Mafalda watching your pets. The care and effort she puts into taking care of your pet and making sure they are having a fun time is unmatched. She took my dog out for pup cups all the time, has a pool for dogs to go swimming in, and does pet happy hours every week. My dog did not want to leave lol. She also updates you multiple times a day on how your dog is doing and sends plenty of pictures so you don't miss your fur baby too much. In addition my dog was just getting out of her heat, and she was not only willing to still watch Ginger but also accommodated to her needs perfectly. She truly loves animals and even has separate rooms for your pets just in case your pet gets a little overstimulated like my dog does sometimes. Could not recommend her enough! She'll definitely be seeing Ginger again next time I'm out of town.”

“If you looking to book with someone who's loving, kind, thoughtful and clean, boarding, daycare, and groomer for your dog. Mrs.Becky really gave me a peace of mind on my trip with multiple pictures and daily updates. I highly recommend.”
