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.

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 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.

“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”
“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 💖”
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 & 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!”
“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. 👏”
“Josie was very loved and well taken care of while I was away. She had the best time! Andrea kept me updated and sent photos so I felt comfortable and knew she was safe. Will definitely use her services again in the future!”
“From the moment we booked with Laura and Felipe, we knew we had found the right sitters. It was immediately clear how much they genuinely love and care for dogs. They responded promptly to every check-in, kept us updated throughout the day with messages and adorable pictures, and took our fur baby on walks — something we aren’t even physically able to do ourselves right now. We have a large-breed dog, and they never hesitated when we requested care for an entire week. Their kindness, confidence, and professionalism gave us complete peace of mind knowing our dog was in the best hands possible. They also provided grooming services, and it was honestly the best grooming our dog has ever had. Our dog sheds heavily, and I was worried no grooming would really help, but after they worked their magic, she looked absolutely adorable and the shedding was dramatically reduced. We were beyond impressed! What meant even more was that they even checked on Birdy the next day. That level of care and thoughtfulness is rare to find. We truly had no worries while away and felt completely at peace knowing our dog was loved and cared for so well. We will absolutely be using their services again and highly recommend Laura and Felipe to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.”
“Jody is superb. She took terrific care of my beloved Chilli. While I was away, Jody texted me lots of pictures, which was very comforting as my first booking was also Chilli's first time having an overnight stay away from home. Chilli had a great time with her two dogs - they all got along very well and Chilli felt right at home. He was well taken care of and one can see that Jody has a genuine love for dogs. It is imperative that one trusts the person taking care of a pet, and that trust is seamless with Jody, whom I highly recommend.”
“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.”
“Judy is the best Sitter for my dog. She sends me a lot of updates without even having to ask, and in all the pictures my dog looks happy and very spoiled. Whenever we travel we feel very at ease because we know he is in the best hands.”
“I had a great experience using Jennifer. Our dog Benji had such a fun time. He was kept safe and I was updated frequency with pictures and videos. Definitely would use Jen again :)”
