“I really appreciated Stephanie and Elizabeth's kindness and patience with our dog, Penny, who has a hard time adjusting to new people and places. They sent photos/videos and updates each day of Penny's stay, and also gave her meds successfully. Thanks so much for taking care of our girl!”
“Without a doubt, the best pet sitter I've had in my life. A true gem. Her communications are timely and clear. If I could higher rating i would but there wouldn't be enough room on the rating sheet to hold all the stars she's earned..”
“Lisbeth is amazing! She took care of my two elderly cats-one of which is insulin dependent- neither of them have ever been boarded before. They took to her quickly and without issues. She made sure to give us daily updates and pictures too. We will be bringing them back to her in the future when needed.”
“A+++++++ Excellent job communicating and watching zuzu for me! Gave me updates when I needed them and really helped make me feel relaxed while being out of the country. Will definitely consider them again for boarding needs 🙂🙂🙂🙂”
“Tara is AMAZING! Our pup boarded with her full time for a week while we were out of town. Professional, caring, reliable, and communicative, just to name a few of her wonderful care giving qualities. Lots of pictures and communication every day. Even on short notice and on top of that our pup started going into a heat cycle while in her care. Tara kept us updated and made sure our pup was safe, loved, and cared for. Could not be happier with this experience and I highly recommend Tara!”
“Eve did a wonderful job with our boy! She managed his finicky eating and administered his ear medication like it was no problem at all. She sent daily pictures and updates in the app. We felt very good about our dogs stay. Thank you Eve!”
“Sarah was everything you can ask for in a sitter! She was responsive, attentive, and so professional. My Daisy had a blast, she was played out and had full attention 24/7. My partner and I had total peace of mind on our trip, with constant pictures and updates. I will bring my dogs back for sure. 5 stars”
“Amanda and her family took excellent care of our sweet Charlie! Daily she sent updates, pics and even a video of him playing! Excellent communication throughout ! Highly recommend!”
“We LOVED how Danielle took care of our Josie. I think Josie loved her, too! We got several notes each day, with pics and an occasional video. It was clear that Josie was truly enjoying her stay. Huge thanks go to Danielle for taking on our 75 pound, energetic lab. High recommendations for her - but leave room on her calendar for future Josie visits.”
“He has experience in taking care of a high energy dog, at first I was cautious as I dont know how yoki will be with kids 10 under, but he did ok. Jarrad was trying to figure out how to work the apps but eventually was able to send photos. Will see him next time!”
“Charlie is the absolute best!! My Piper was right at home and I got so many updates and photos. He was flexible and played with her so much She came back home nice and tired. The best feeling after traveling. Highly recommend Charlie!”

“Alexandra did a fantastic job with our two cocker spaniels, including our energetic puppy. She spent quality time playing with them, took them outside, and made sure they got treats and attention. It’s clear she’s very comfortable handling both puppies and active adult dogs. Our 3 year old can be a handful, and she handled both of them with ease. We came home to two happy, well cared for pups. We’d definitely book her again!”

I have been a dog lover since I can remember and it brings me joy to take care of them and to provide a warm and reliable environment for them. My schedule right now is pretty flexible and I would be willing to work around whatever schedule necessary for your dog to get the care it needs throughout the day! Thank you for considering me!

I strive to keep the home clean to the degree that I found it and make sure the dog or cat feels safe in its home.
“Andie did great with our skiddish kitty cats over the holiday weekend. She made sure she saw them, tried to get them to warm up to her, and listened to instructions well in regard to feeding them / cleaning up their area. She was also delightful during our meet and greet and exhibited her vast knowledge by chatting about her history of cat care. Overall, we are pleased with Andie and highly recommend her for your feline family members! 😸😸”

We would love to work with her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
About: Ive taken care of pets (dogs and cats) since i was 10 years old and had a cat for three years. I have had a dog in my family since the age of 10 as well! As of right now i am available Tuesday through Sunday any time after 8am and before 9pm for dog walking and any night for dog sitting.

“Definitely booking again! Jessica was great with our cats and I’m glad everything went well. She was very attentive with them and provided them the level of care any pet owner would want. I am so thankful!”
About: I’ve raised cats since I can literally remember. I grew up in the country, so there were a lot of barn cats around the property, and I remember just always being drawn to the cats. Nothing has changed as now I have 2 of my own little angel girls being spoiled and running my home. Cats have such unique personalities and their trust means SO much since they are not as easy to win over as dogs.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Holmes Beach
“Anu is fantastic! Taz loves seeing her and playing with Izzy. She keeps us informed of how Taz is doing, sends a few pictures and we feel very comfortable leaving Taz with her. Taz has separation anxiety, but has displayed none of it when he goes with Anu. Very happy and have booked Anu several times in the coming weeks.”
“Betsy watched our dog, who has separation anxiety, so we could attend a baby shower. Since we don’t live in the area, we really appreciated how accommodating and responsive she was throughout the whole process. When we picked our dog up, she was very calm and comfortable, which gave us great peace of mind. Betsy is very sweet and attentive, we would definitely recommend her!”
“Michelle is super nice. We felt comfortable leaving Mazy in her care. Mazy had a day of fun I know this because she has been sleeping for 3 hours since we picked her up. Would definitely use her again”
“Gina was amazing with my pup nova. Her home was so cozy and clean. She was so well taken care of and had plenty of toys to play with. Her doodles were also the best companion for my nova to play with. Definitely will book with again!”
“I believe our boys have found their new best friend! We have a couple of rescues and one of them is high energy, high anxiety. We really needed someone who could help him become more comfortable around other dogs—needed lots of patience! Tara is an answer to a prayer! We had two meet and greets with her dog, and we just picked them up from their first day of daycare. They did great and we are so happy to recommend Tara!”
“Our miniature dachshund "Monty" went to Olga for daycare a couple of times. He liked her very much and was well cared for by Olga and her family. Unfortunately we aren't able to book her anymore cause we just moved. We wish Olga and her family the very best.”
“Charlie awas very responsive, and accommodating. His wife took Halo for a walk as soon as we arrived. Charlie sent pictures and updates on Halo. I would definitely recommend them.”

We LOVE some pups to play/spend time with when sitting pet-friendly condos and are also able to come stay with your pet in your home. We will play inside and outside, go for walks, use their family/familiar commands, snacks, food, and naps. Will follow any needed structure requested; example: if you do not allow your dog on furniture, I will follow suit. I offer overnight stays as well as daytime care, a la cart services as needed. I am currently at home each day so have plenty of time to play with and care for pups. I would enjoy the companionship myself as well! We are home and pet sitters and travel often. Although we tend to travel to the same places (clients) each year, our boarding availability depends on the condo we are sitting at the time and it's pet rules. If I cannot board your pup in at my place, I can usually come to you or provide daily drop-ins.

About: I currently work at a doggy daycare, and I have walked/sat for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I understand dog behavior and can tell what they need! I currently work at a doggy daycare and spend most of my time with the pups there. When I am not there, I am available to take dogs on walks, do drop-ins, and house sit. Whenever I have free time, I am happy to take your dog for a walk or drop in for a visit!

I’ve worked with all kinds of dogs at a busy doggy daycare, so I’m comfortable handling different energy levels, personalities, and even the occasional stubborn walker.

That includes feeding, fresh water, cleaning up if needed, and giving them attention based on what they like, whether that’s playtime, belly rubs, or just hanging out. I try to make visits something they actually look forward to, not just a quick check-in. I also make sure everything is secure before I leave, doors, gates, and anything else that keeps them safe. On top of that, I keep communication open with owners by sending updates and photos, so you know your pet is not only safe, but also happy!!!

Throw any challenge my way and I can handle it as I have taken care of pets my whole life in many situations I live right next to my job offering me immediate access to my home if needed. I am home everyday for lunch requiring me extra time to care for animals. I also do not go into work on Mondays and Wednesdays until 10 and get out of work on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 3 making a lot of time available everyday for animals! I live next to an open field awesome for running dogs around. I also live in a nice HOA community that loves dogs and has ample room for them. The inside of my house is extremely pet friendly as many of my family members have pets that come over my house
About: I’ve taken care of neighbors/friends dogs and senior dogs, which also includes time to ease owners worries. My goal is to provide home care away. I currently lost my job of 21 years and have always wanted to work, take care of animals. No children & lots of love to provide I have a large, fenced in yard. My dog loves to play with other dogs & my cat watches oh so closely. They love it.
About: I have had all kinds of dogs all my life. Currently we have a border collie, 2 rough collies and 3 basset hounds between our two homes!! I have raised 4 litters and have trained my dogs myself. My border collie travels the world with me and has gone half way around the world and back. Can't imagine my life without her... I know how difficult it is for a pet parent to leave their babies and I will do my best to really bond with your baby so that he or she are happy during your time apart. My Border Collie, Izzy, is also a wonderful, weet natured, gentle dog who will be great company and comfort for your fur babies! My condo is set up with a patio the dogs can use and they are of course welcome everywhere in the house. I have a great dog park a short drive away where I can walk and entertain them when they need it. The people and dogs that come there are great and it is a very friendly and fun place. I also have a pen set up for closer supervision if necessary. And of course I am home almost all the time.

“Without a doubt, the best pet sitter I've had in my life. A true gem. Her communications are timely and clear. If I could higher rating i would but there wouldn't be enough room on the rating sheet to hold all the stars she's earned..”
“A+++++++ Excellent job communicating and watching zuzu for me! Gave me updates when I needed them and really helped make me feel relaxed while being out of the country. Will definitely consider them again for boarding needs 🙂🙂🙂🙂”
“Tara is AMAZING! Our pup boarded with her full time for a week while we were out of town. Professional, caring, reliable, and communicative, just to name a few of her wonderful care giving qualities. Lots of pictures and communication every day. Even on short notice and on top of that our pup started going into a heat cycle while in her care. Tara kept us updated and made sure our pup was safe, loved, and cared for. Could not be happier with this experience and I highly recommend Tara!”
“Eve did a wonderful job with our boy! She managed his finicky eating and administered his ear medication like it was no problem at all. She sent daily pictures and updates in the app. We felt very good about our dogs stay. Thank you Eve!”
“Sarah was everything you can ask for in a sitter! She was responsive, attentive, and so professional. My Daisy had a blast, she was played out and had full attention 24/7. My partner and I had total peace of mind on our trip, with constant pictures and updates. I will bring my dogs back for sure. 5 stars”
“Amanda and her family took excellent care of our sweet Charlie! Daily she sent updates, pics and even a video of him playing! Excellent communication throughout ! Highly recommend!”
“We LOVED how Danielle took care of our Josie. I think Josie loved her, too! We got several notes each day, with pics and an occasional video. It was clear that Josie was truly enjoying her stay. Huge thanks go to Danielle for taking on our 75 pound, energetic lab. High recommendations for her - but leave room on her calendar for future Josie visits.”
“He has experience in taking care of a high energy dog, at first I was cautious as I dont know how yoki will be with kids 10 under, but he did ok. Jarrad was trying to figure out how to work the apps but eventually was able to send photos. Will see him next time!”
“Charlie is the absolute best!! My Piper was right at home and I got so many updates and photos. He was flexible and played with her so much She came back home nice and tired. The best feeling after traveling. Highly recommend Charlie!”
“My dog stayed with Karlee for 4 nights recently and he had such a great time! She brought him on multiple adventures including the beach and made sure to send many pics and update me daily. I would highly recommend Karlee for dog watching and sitting!”
“Hope and her husband are awesome! You can tell they are dog lovers! I first took Samba for a meet and greet and her puppies are sweet and well behaved. During Samba’s stay, Hope sent many pictures and kept me updated. I am sure Samba had a great time! Thank you Hope! I will definitely book again!”
“Great communication skills. She was very with fast response to request. She sent pictures of her space to make sure it would work for our needs. She also sent an update and pictures of our boys while in her care.”
About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats for several years and truly understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. As a pet owner myself, I have hands-on experience with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, daily walks, playtime, enrichment, and lots of affection. While I’m newer to professional pet sitting, I have real-life experience caring for my own animals and helping friends and family with theirs. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable caring for pets of different temperaments — from energetic pups to independent or shy cats. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I currently work part-time and create my own schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, including afternoons and evenings. Because of my flexible schedule, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods and will receive consistent care and attention. I have a fully fenced backyard with grass for safe outdoor play and live within walking distance of a dog park for extra exercise (with owner approval). Inside my home, pets are supervised and kept in a calm, clean environment. I can easily follow specific feeding schedules, crate routines, medication instructions, or litter box preferences. For cats, I ensure litter boxes stay clean, provide enrichment and playtime, and respect their space if they prefer quiet companionship. My goal is to create a safe, loving environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away.
“Professional, kind, excellent communication and a big place for Gabby to sniff.a Jessica and her family were very easy to work with and made the whole process painless. Why anyone would choose a kennel over Jessica is beyond me.”
“Abbigail & Jared are simply amazing. I have used Rover several times and everyone has been nice, but I never felt that ONE place that felt right for my dog. THIS is the place! They took such good care of Rocky. They took him with them as if he was their own, and did everything they could to include him in all the fun. So much so, that when we got home he was moping around staring at the door missing his girlfriend (their dog) and his new "other" family, lol. Couldn't recommend them enough!”
“The best sitters I’ve ever experienced!! They sent pictures and videos of our little pup multiple times a day, he was constantly getting exercise during his visit, and they even taught him “paw”! We can tell our pup had a great time with them and on top of that they were very communicative and flexible. Cannot say enough good things! 🫶”
“Audrey and Karson were very kind and welcoming to our Golden girl and excellent with prompt communication. They sent regular photos of her which really helped a lot to know she was doing well with them. Overall, it was an excellent experience w and made it easier for us to be apart from her. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her board with them again!”
“Gina was great with my 2 labradoodles for a week, this was my first time leaving my dogs in 12 years. She sent photos and was available to answer all questions and concerns I had. Susan”
