“Catherine is incredibly caring and thoughtful with my dog––from what time and how long to walk her during summer months to giving her medication and meals to providing me photos of how she's doing and how happy she is. I have complete peace of mind when I'm traveling. My dog has diabetes so her care is very specific and I always feel confident she's well cared for.”

“Christina has been sitting my 12 year old, nervous, not very social, Italian greyhound for years! She is the only human my dog loves and trusts as much as she does me. Over the years, Lexi has had some health issues and I trust Christina explicitly! She treats Lexi and all the others she sits as if they are her own!! She is 100% trustworthy, dependable, and I wouldn’t bring Lexi to anyone else!!”
“Gael took care of my Chyna for a week when I was away. My Chyna is a nervous house pup who is wee wee pad trained and being out of her normal environment was a bit challenging for her. Gael was very patient and kept me updated everyday with pictures and text messages.”

“It was our first time leaving our Romeo so many days and we couldn't be happier! Julie treated Romeo as if he were her own! She did everything we asked from her and took such great care of him, especially during bad weather. We were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about him. Julie kept us updated daily with photos or videos and assured us he was fine and eating and playing. Thank you Julie. We will be using you from now on😄😁🥰”
“Nicole and her family took wonderful care of Billie while I was away, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Billie is a high-energy dog, and they provided such an active, loving, and supportive environment that she immediately felt right at home. Nicole kept me updated every day with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. I especially loved the thoughtful little touches—like playing Billie Eilish songs for Billie! It was clear that she was treated like part of the family and received lots of attention, exercise, and affection. I am incredibly grateful for the care, communication, and kindness they showed. I would absolutely trust Nicole with Billie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for their dog as if it were their own.”

About: I've been around pets my whole life. I grew up with cats and had a family dog throughout high school, and I've had my own cat for the last five years. Taking care of animals has always just been part of my everyday life. I've also helped friends in my apartment complex by walking and feeding their dogs while they're out of town. I know every pet has its own routine and personality, so I always make sure to follow the owner's instructions and give them the attention they need. I live in Flagler Village in Fort Lauderdale, so I'm nearby and available for local pet care. I'll treat your pet like I would my own and make sure they're well taken care of while you're away. I work from home, so I’m almost always around and able to give your pet attention throughout the day. My schedule allows me to take multiple breaks for feeding, playtime, walks, and check-ins, rather than leaving pets alone for long periods of time. Having my own cat, I understand how important it is for pets to have a consistent routine and someone around who genuinely cares for them. I’m able to provide dependable care while also giving your pet the attention and companionship they need. I understand that every pet and home has its own routine, so I make it a priority to follow the instructions provided by each owner. In a client's home, I will make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive attention and playtime, and are comfortable in their familiar environment. I know cats especially can be sensitive to changes, so I believe keeping their normal routine is important. I’ll take the time to make sure they feel safe and cared for while also keeping owners updated with messages and photos. My goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both the pet and the owner.
“Jessica is amazing! She was professional and personable. She provided daily updates and photos. My little guy loved being with her. I will definitely be a repeat customer”
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!

About: My husband and I have cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities through house sitting, boarding, daycare, drop-in visits, and walks. We both working from home, allowing us to provide frequent supervision, companionship, and personalized attention throughout the day. We have experience caring for energetic puppies, senior dogs, shy or anxious pets, and dogs that require medication or special instructions. Our priority is making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. We’re a husband-and-wife pet care team. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine because we both work from home, which allows us to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. We provide personalized care based on each pet’s individual needs, personality, and routine. Whether we are caring for pets in our home or in a client’s home, we make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their family is away. In our home, pets receive a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day. Since we work from home, we are able to provide frequent supervision and keep their normal routines as consistent as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, we respect their space and follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medications, and any special preferences. We believe keeping pets in a familiar environment can help reduce stress, so we focus on maintaining their comfort and routine. We also provide regular photo updates so owners can feel connected and have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and well cared for.

About: I've been taking care of cats in my neighborhood for the past 6 years. When neighbors travel, they trust me take care of all meals and medication, litter box cleaning, and playtime! Depending on friendliness of the cat, I will also brush and groom, as well as trim their nails (if the CAT allows). I love sending photos so you can see how your furbaby is doing. I'm currently working from home with an extremely flexible schedule. I already care for several cats in the neighborhood and their parents know they can trust me with all their needs. I do not offer a service where I care for your pets in my home. My home is not large enough to care for pets adequately.
“Gnocchi had so much fun with the other dogs, he came home pooped out and slept for the rest of the night. I received Lucia throughout his stay to ensure he was doing well. I will definitely be back!! Thank you!”
“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!”
“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”
About: I've been looking after dogs and cats for almost everyone I know since I was twelve and I've wanted to be a veterinarian since I was very young. Currently, I'm saving for vet school, but before finding Rover I worked in veterinary offices and boarding kennels where I was responsible for everything from filing medical records and booking appointments to group enrichment and food and medication administration (including subcutaneous fluids). I have also trained dogs professionally (mostly puppies, but some older dogs as well) and fostered for the county shelter. These experiences have made me comfortable with medical and behavioral challenges with animals of any size and I am confident in my ability to care for your fur babies as well as I do mine. Lastly, dietary restrictions excluded of course, don't forget the treats and toys! I am very big on enrichment and positive reinforcement and I'm yet to meet an animal who didn't want a little spoiling. I'm excited to meet you and your pets and hope to foster a long and trusting relationship with both. I am home almost every day that I am not out on Rover jobs. This allows me the flexibility to work with multiple pet families and meet everyone's needs. As all pets are different, I am happy to discuss care plans with pet parents to make sure I can provide what is both needed and wanted, but my schedule is flexible enough to accommodate the vast majority of requests. I do request at least 4 hours notice (including service confirmation) for walks, 2 days notice for drop ins, and a week's notice for house sitting. This is to ensure that I can meet the needs of all clients adequately as well as schedule my non-pet care obligations appropriately. If you are in need of services on shorter notice than the above, I will do my best to accomodate but services will be subject to a 40% upcharge as a rush fee. I am active on Rover throughout the day from about 9am to 8pm (unless I am actively with client animals in which case I remain accessible to said client minus times I am indisposed). I am happy to walk/drop-in on pets several times a day. Administering food and medication during these times is something I am completely comfortable with as I do so for my own animals regularly. Scooping litter boxes is also well within my wheelhouse (though my cat is particularly picky and has a self-scooping one for his comfort). I am used to active/playful dogs and cats as I have one of each myself and I am happy to take some long walks and/or get a good play session going depending on what is most appropriate for the animals in my care. With permission (and the appropriate safety gear) I am also happy to take dogs to their local dog park for socialization and peer play.

About: I have years of experience caring for dogs of all life stages from playful puppies to gentle seniors. As well as all sizes from small breeds to big pups. Whether your dog needs structured walks, trips to the dog park, careful adherence to a specific feeding schedule or specialized attention like administering medication, I am fully equipped to handle it with care and confidence. For boarding I’m available 7 days a week! Your dog will never be left alone for long stretches. Even though I work a full-time job Monday through Friday (8am-5pm) I live five minutes away from my workplace, which allows me to easily check in on my lunch breaks to manage feeding times and give potty breaks throughout the day. In the evenings and all weekend long I am home full time to hang out, play in the yard with Hazel and cuddle. For daycare I’m available weekends for full daycare.(Note: because of my Monday-Friday work hours, weekday daycare availability is limited but please reach out to see if we can make your schedule work!) I have a true passion for animals; I believe it is my calling in life. I truly love and enjoy taking care of them because they are more than just pets, they are family. I will love and care for your dog just like my own. I know firsthand how stressful it can be to leave your furry friend behind and worry about their safety. Because I understand that anxiety, your peace of mind is my top priority. I promise to keep you updated with lots of pictures, videos and updates throughout the day so you always know they are happy and safe. When your pup stays with me, they will have access to a private, secure, fenced yard for playing and exploring, plus the best company: my sweet miniature dachshund, Hazel, who loves making new friends! Beyond the belly rubs, playtime and socialization, I am deeply committed to maintaining their routine, from strict feeding schedules to plenty of daily exercise. Your dog will truly have a safe, fun and loving home away from home.
“Estefania is the best! She’s always available and send so many adorable pictures ❤️ My dog Arya loves her, she takes her on her long walks to give her plenty of time to explore. Estefania is my go to for Aryas care!”
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.
About: Starting our pet sitting for neighbors at just 11 years old & teaching swim lessons to 5-year olds at 15 years old, and being an Ocean Rescue lifeguard at 17, I take pride in my selfless responsibility to care for and protect others. In college, my roommate’s dogs were treated as if they were my dogs too and genuinely enjoyed taking walks, going to the dog parks, and buying them treats. Most recently I was a personal assistant for a traveling executive, taking care of his personal matters, cars, boat, but most importantly his 6-yr old Goldendoodle Bolt! She stayed in my apartment while he was away, slept in my bed every night, constantly went to the park, and went everywhere with me in the car. I am unable to have a dog of my own at the moment, and pet sitting dogs like Bolt brought me joy every single day. I currently am self-employed with my own hospitality company and therefore usually work from home creating my own hours. As well as bartending a few nights a week on occasion. I live in the heart of Las Olas with the riverfront dog park right next door, the Las Olas riverwalk in my backyard, and a puppy proof apartment. Wherever I go, whether it’s walking downstairs to get breakfast or running errands in the car, I always try to bring the dog with me. I drive a Tesla so you know your pet will always be safe in dog mode.
“Nicole was prompt, efficient and handled the tasks professionally with care. Our dog Valentino was always happy to see her. Our cat Sohji, who never comes out for guests surprisingly showed up for a cameo pic! This is an indication that even Shoji was comfortable with her presence and care. We recommend Nicole as a competent and caring pet specialist. Nicole will always be our pet care specialist when needed.”
About: What sets me apart is the level of personal attention and calm, consistent care I give to each pet. I treat every animal like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved and comfortable in their routine.

Pet care first perfectly into my daily routine because I am a full time mom ( grown kids) and home full time. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I care for pets by following their routine as closely as possible. Mealtime, walks and play. I take time to learn their personalities and what comforts them.

About: I have over 8 years of experience caring for cats and dogs, and I’ve been around animals my entire life. I come from a family that has always had both cats and dogs, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my daily life. I truly love animals and enjoy spending quality time with them, playing, giving attention, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I also like to keep everything clean and organized so your pets can stay relaxed and you can have peace of mind too. My cat is also very friendly with dogs, which has helped me become even more comfortable understanding different pet personalities and behaviors. At the moment, I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to the pets I care for. Feel free to contact me so we can find a routine and schedule that works best for you and your pet. Currently, I mainly offer care in the client’s home, especially because I enjoy keeping pets comfortable in a familiar environment and maintaining their usual routine as closely as possible. I have plenty of experience with dogs and truly enjoy spending time with them, from walks and playtime to simply keeping them company and making sure they feel safe, calm, and well cared for. With cats, I’ve noticed that many tend to feel more relaxed staying in their own space, so I’m happy to do regular visits throughout the day to give them attention, care, food, clean spaces, and companionship while you’re away.
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.
About: I have had dogs my entire life and have always been actively involved in their care. I grew up with Winer dogs and currently spend time caring for my boyfriend’s French Bulldog as well. I am very comfortable around dogs of different sizes and personalities. I truly love animals and understand their needs, routines, and behaviors. My experience has always been hands-on, and I treat every pet with patience, love, and responsibility I have a flexible schedule on my days off from my hospitality job. I am available mornings, evenings, and weekends, and I can adjust my time depending on the pet’s needs. I am reliable and can commit to regular or last-minute bookings when needed I prioritize the safety, comfort, and well being of every pet I care for. When caring for pets in my home or the client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walks, medication if needed, and routines. I make sure pets feel calm, safe, and loved at all times. I respect each pet’s personality and space, and I always keep a clean and secure environment. Communication with pet owners is very important to me, and I provide updates (pictures) to ensure trust and peace of mind.
“Daniela was super easy to work with. I loved that she came to meet Kobe prior to the walks so that he can get acquainted with her. She sent me updates prior to each walk and after. She’s your girl if you need a Walker in the Fort Lauderdale area :) Thank you again!”
About: My friends and neighbors have trusted me with walking/boarding their pets for years. I never needed my own pet, because I would always have my neighbors! I am a full time student with a very flexible schedule. I would be able to walk/feed your pets at any times most days of the week. I also have a loving roommate who shares my love of animals, who would be more than willing to help out with your pets while boarding. I care for others’ pets as my own. Since I’ve never had my own pet, my love of animals gets passed onto the ones I take care of.

“Another awesome stay with Gregory and Xena! It was clear from the photos he had a great time. Thank you Ms. Xena for letting Banksy steal your doggy bed from time to time. Looking forward to our next stay.”
“Sebastian was great with my little 7 month old silver lab, Finn. He kept me updated on my dog throughout the day, sent photos and all - I picked up a happy puppy tonight that was well taken care of!”
“Antonio was wonderful with Piper! She spent a little over one week with him at his home and I got pictures, updates, and came home to a happy and healthy Chihuahua :)”
“Sarah was absolutely phenomenal. Daily pictures, regular updates, and treated my pupper like he was her own. She worked with me on scheduling and made sure he got plenty of exercise. She is my number one choice if I have to go out of town and need a dog sitter!”
About: I've been around pets my whole life. I grew up with cats and had a family dog throughout high school, and I've had my own cat for the last five years. Taking care of animals has always just been part of my everyday life. I've also helped friends in my apartment complex by walking and feeding their dogs while they're out of town. I know every pet has its own routine and personality, so I always make sure to follow the owner's instructions and give them the attention they need. I live in Flagler Village in Fort Lauderdale, so I'm nearby and available for local pet care. I'll treat your pet like I would my own and make sure they're well taken care of while you're away. I work from home, so I’m almost always around and able to give your pet attention throughout the day. My schedule allows me to take multiple breaks for feeding, playtime, walks, and check-ins, rather than leaving pets alone for long periods of time. Having my own cat, I understand how important it is for pets to have a consistent routine and someone around who genuinely cares for them. I’m able to provide dependable care while also giving your pet the attention and companionship they need. I understand that every pet and home has its own routine, so I make it a priority to follow the instructions provided by each owner. In a client's home, I will make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive attention and playtime, and are comfortable in their familiar environment. I know cats especially can be sensitive to changes, so I believe keeping their normal routine is important. I’ll take the time to make sure they feel safe and cared for while also keeping owners updated with messages and photos. My goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both the pet and the owner.
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!
“Natalie was an exceptional dog sitter who went above and beyond. She kept me updated with adorable pictures of my furry baby and cared for him as if he were her own. I am deeply appreciative of her kindness and professionalism, and I will absolutely rely on her services again in the future.”
About: I have years of experience caring for dogs of all life stages from playful puppies to gentle seniors. As well as all sizes from small breeds to big pups. Whether your dog needs structured walks, trips to the dog park, careful adherence to a specific feeding schedule or specialized attention like administering medication, I am fully equipped to handle it with care and confidence. For boarding I’m available 7 days a week! Your dog will never be left alone for long stretches. Even though I work a full-time job Monday through Friday (8am-5pm) I live five minutes away from my workplace, which allows me to easily check in on my lunch breaks to manage feeding times and give potty breaks throughout the day. In the evenings and all weekend long I am home full time to hang out, play in the yard with Hazel and cuddle. For daycare I’m available weekends for full daycare.(Note: because of my Monday-Friday work hours, weekday daycare availability is limited but please reach out to see if we can make your schedule work!) I have a true passion for animals; I believe it is my calling in life. I truly love and enjoy taking care of them because they are more than just pets, they are family. I will love and care for your dog just like my own. I know firsthand how stressful it can be to leave your furry friend behind and worry about their safety. Because I understand that anxiety, your peace of mind is my top priority. I promise to keep you updated with lots of pictures, videos and updates throughout the day so you always know they are happy and safe. When your pup stays with me, they will have access to a private, secure, fenced yard for playing and exploring, plus the best company: my sweet miniature dachshund, Hazel, who loves making new friends! Beyond the belly rubs, playtime and socialization, I am deeply committed to maintaining their routine, from strict feeding schedules to plenty of daily exercise. Your dog will truly have a safe, fun and loving home away from home.
“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!!”
“Judy and her family take the best care of our babies!! They back home with full of love and happiness. They’re so thoughtful with some extra gifts for our babies too. We will definitely come back again!!”
“I highly recommend Andrea! This was our 1st time using a sitter and Andrea was awesome from our 1st conversation. She was very informative and assuring during the stay. She sent us pictures and updates about our 2 dogs. She has a huge backyard that they loved. We will be using Andrea going forward. Thank you so much Andrea!!!”
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.
“I had such a wonderful experience with Maria ! She took amazing care of my dog and treated him with so much love and attention. I really appreciated the pictures and updates she sent—they gave me peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. It was clear that she genuinely loved him and made him feel right at home. I highly recommend her and would absolutely trust her with my dog again! ❤️🐾”
“Anita was fantastic! Tully our King Charles cavalier spent nearly two weeks at Anitas place - she was well looked after and was happy in her care - the enclosed back yard was perfect for her along with the walks. We were updated with photos and fab communication. Would highly recommend Anita and we are very grateful.”
“This is the 2nd time around Lee Ann watches my doggie and first time my daughter's. They looked like they had fun, we had pictures and videos of their stay. We are very please, thank you Lee Ann 😊”
“They were really attentive and sent me updates regarding my cat Cleo. Cleo is a hider and they didn’t have any issues with accommodating her as she opens up later to be social. Really communicative and friendly, Nice people. Booked last minute for my trip to PR and they accepted Cleo for my long week of vacation. Will definitely use again. 🩷🩷🩷”
