“Shannon was great! Great communication and tons of pictures. She is very friendly and attentive my dog had a great time I can definitely tell she took excellent care of my dog and will def book in future.”
“Gissell was absolutely amazing! I just moved to the area and was heading to a family reunion when our original sitter had to cancel due to a death in the family. I was so worried about where my pups would stay, but Gissell swooped in with a quick response and immediately put my mind at ease. She treated my dogs like royalty — like they were part of her own family! They had an absolute blast, and I could tell just by how happy and relaxed they were that they truly loved being there. I will absolutely be booking with her again for all future stays. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Marlena was absolutely amazing with our dog, Winnie! From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely at ease knowing she was in great hands. Marlena sent us daily updates and adorable pictures that showed how happy and comfortable Winnie was the entire time. It’s clear that she truly loves and understands dogs. Winnie came back happy, healthy, and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, Marlena is the best! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and loving to watch their pup.”
“Kelly was an amazing host !! She couldn’t have been more accommodating and hospitable to my elderly lady dog, Lacy. Kelly’s farm residence is perfect and I couldn’t have asked for a better place for Lacy to stay while I was traveling. I would definitely recommend Kelly 🐶❤️💫”
“Second time Kaitland takes care of my dogs. Always so kind, nice and patient (my great dane has lots of energy and is strong). Definitely you want Kaitland to petsit your pets!”
“Excellent experience with Megan! She took great care of our dog while we took a last minute family trip. She gave us regular updates and included pictures and videos. She even took him on several walks which was greatly appreciated. Highly recommend!”
“I could have not asked for a better dog sitter!! Everything about Wendy was great! I booked with less than 8 hours of notice and she was very accommodating. She accommodated to my dogs preferred walking schedule and showered him with love and treats. She also kept me updated everyday with his status and loads of photos. I would highly recommend her and would use her again anytime I am out of town. I feel very comfortable with her watching my little baby.”
“Josilyn was great! This is my first time having a puppy and she was able to calm my nerves about it. She was more than happy to work on his obedience training while taking care of him and made sure to get him lots of exercise and play! She is also a dog groomer and was patient with Watson during his first grooming session! Excited to use her again to watch my baby.”
“Boarding my 2 dogs with Andrea was the best decision I could have made with the circumstances! My husband and I went out of the country and had no service so we would not have been able to keep in touch in case of emergency or accident which did make us nervous based on previous experiences, however, Andrea did a meet and greet with us before our trip and was super understanding about the situation. She still sent daily updates and pictures and videos that I was able to see upon return. She took the time to give feedback on things that worked for her as a sitter to overcome obstacles that came along with our dogs! She was very knowledgeable when it came to caring for them and did an amazing job with their medical needs as well as general needs! She was transparent with us and I could tell that our dogs were comfortable with her and had a good time while we were away. I will DEFINITELY be booking with Andrea again in the future.”
“Edward is fantastic! Our dog stayed with him for 10 days and came back happy and well-cared for. It took all the stress out of our vacation knowing he was in such good hands.”

“Rocco had a wonderful stay with Kelly. He enjoyed the fenced yard, pool time, and plenty of one-on-one attention. We felt confident he was safe, loved, and well cared for, and we look forward to booking with her again.”
“Thank you for watching Diesel, my big baby. Jerome helped me out big time by taking a last minute boarding request so I could attend a funeral. He sent plenty of pictures and I was able to stress about one less thing. He was very hospitable upon arrival and I loved that I didn’t have to lug around Diesel’s crate. When I picked Diesel up, he gave me a great recommendation about his food. If I ever need to book a boarding service, Jerome will be the first person I contact.”
About: I’ve always lived with many cats and dogs my whole life. I’ve had a variety of pets of all ages including rabbits, snakes, bearded dragons, hamsters. I’ve also fostered many kittens and puppies and I currently have 2 dogs and 2 cats, the majority rescues. I’m a huge animal lover! I am mostly a stay at home mom with 4 pets. We take the dogs on daily walks and sometimes to the park. We are always spending time outdoors in our spacious back yard with our dogs running around and cats climbing trees and roofs and such! I have 2 dogs and 2 cats both very friendly if spending time together! I also have a fenced in yard with a garden. I have a separate indoor petroom stocked with a couple crates (if needed for my big dog), enclosed cat litter boxes, a large cat climbing tree, plenty of pet food and treats, many water bowls and toys for all! And a very family friendly neighborhood for walks and a spacious (not fenced) park as well.
“Patty, was more than wonderful with our Sashi. We went away for a week and left Sashi with Patty. We were a little nervous because we never done it before but we did the right decision with Patty. She kept us updated with text and video and we can see how happy Sashi was. Patty treat her as she was hers. Patty is amazing, I will recommend Patty to anyone who want there baby to be treat like they were at home. Sashi will be continue visit Patty??❤️”
“Skylar was super happy and safe with Kaitlyn and Andrew. They provided daily updates with pictures to provide me with peace of mind about her care while I was away.”
“Yekaterina was polite, sensitive to the needs of Cami and made me feel calmer about getting a new sitter. I was pleased overall with everything that she did to accommodate my Cami. Thank you so much!!”

I moved to Florida from Virginia about a year and a half ago. I am looking forward meeting new dogs and establishing some great client relationships. Please let me know your needs and I'm sure we can work something out. All questions encouraged- I looking forward to hearing from you. I am available to care for pets in my home or yours. I pet sit, do dog walks, love playing with dogs and always give lots of love and cuddles. My schedule is open. I am available all the time. I am available to walk dogs, pet sitting at your house or pet boarding at my house. Rover is my only job. I have a fenced in yard, that is completely secure. Your dog is welcome at our house.

“Lexi was great -- if she had any questions, she contacted us promptly, and she was very good about sending photos and videos to let us know how the kitties were doing.... even our ridiculously-shy kitty snuggled up to her while she was here. :-) Lexi was gracious enough to wait a couple of extra hours in the house until we got home from our trip -- this made things super-easy on us, and we are grateful for that. We just retired, and are planning to do some traveling in 2026; we definitely plan to hire Lexi to stay here during our future trips.”
About: I currently live with just 1 dog. Her name is Willow, she is super friendly and loves all other dogs and animals. I am an avid walker, I take my dog on frequent walks. I try to make sure she walks 3 miles a day, because she is an incredibly active dog. I take care of the dogs on a daily basis and I am home from college, so I do not have anything else to attend to throughout the day. I make sure pets have plenty of water, potty breaks every hour to two hours, so they have no accidents inside the house. They will have my full attention to make sure they do not get into anything that may upset their stomach. I currently have 1 dog. I walk my dog every morning and every night with potty breaks throughout the day. I find it crucial to be able to have enough outside time for walking, doing their business, and letting them sniff around. I currently live in an apartment with sidewalks to walk your animal when needed. There is a dog run less than 4 miles from my apartment. I also have access to a dog crate if needed.
“Cynthia was fantastic! We went out of town for a week and she came by to feed and play with our cats twice a day and always let us know what was going on and was even able to help me with a special request at my house. She’s really the best and I feel so much better about having her as an option next time we take a trip. It was such a stress reliever to not have to worry about their care while we were gone. Thanks again so much! I can’t recommend you enough! If there was more than 5 stars I would give it!”
“As always my baby’s were taken very good care of. Cheyenne is absolute amazing . My Savannah cat won’t go to no one (except us) and gives kisses except her .truly amazing and thanks for the gift Luna loves it ❤️”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with dogs and my commitment to providing exceptional care. I've cared for dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities, including fostering and rescuing dogs from neglectful situations. Through hands-on experience and self-education in canine behavior and training, I've developed the skills to understand and meet each dog's unique needs. Whether caring for playful puppies, active adults, or senior dogs, I provide a safe, loving, and dependable environment that gives pet owners peace of mind. Im currently unemployed and have a great support system (friends and spouse who LOVE dogs.) Not tied to many commitments, leaving me free to be present & dog sit day/night. The only times im gone are to do errands. Which isnt more than 2 hrs at a time. Available Mon-Sun for nights and days :). Your pets safety and quality of care is very important to me. Just to describe some of the perks of boarding with me. I have a large yard thats fenced in. A spare bedroom that theyll sleep in/ or be crated in. Very spacious home they can roam freely. Theyre allowed on furniture. Can socialize with my two loving sweet dogs that are trained. Including a safe neighborhood for walks. If pet parent is not comfortable with their pup being around my pets. Ill ensure they remain seperated, as i have the ability to do so with dog gates in the home, if need be. I also have cameras to always keep an eye out (although physically id be present).
“Thank you so much Shannon!! The pups had so much fun and really enjoyed their new friends. I greatly appreciate you taking care of them on such a short notice. You are a definite keeper.”
“Joelyz was incredibly sweet and attentive, both to me as the client as well as to my dog. She sent pics through the day to keep me updated. I know her training background helps her interact in the right way. I woukd definitely use her again.”
“Anne was amazing!! I honestly was a little nervous leaving my puppy for the first time, but she kept me updated throughout the day! Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”

“Wendy was very good with communication before and during my pup’s visit with her. She sent pictures while he was in her care and he seemed to have a fantastic time with her. My boy has a lot of energy and he was ready for rest after we got home, so I know she spent time playing with him❤️”
About: I have experience watching both cats and dogs for over 10 years, some being my own and mostly others! I have a disabled dog currently who I care for, giving me experience with medications and specialized care. I also have had two cats with health issues so I am well versed in specialized care for them as well. I look forward to meeting your babies! I am a student currently with a fairly flexible schedule. I will have a completely open schedule starting the week after Thanksgiving to Christmas as well! I am very careful with any animal I care for. I ensure we have a meet and greet prior to make sure I am completely comfortable in safely caring for your baby❤️

“AMAZING SERVICE! Randy and Mimi took care of our dog like he was their own. He had such a good time and was able to socialize and meet new dogs. We would recommend them to anyone looking for an amazing doggy day care/boarding for their dog!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of multiple different breeds since I was about 12 years old. Walking, bathing, playing, feeding schedules, basic training, etc. I use to walk neighborhood dogs as a kid/teen plus owning quite a few over the years myself. Since then I worked in a doggy daycare for about 3 years before becoming a stay at home mom. I’m currently looking to return to work since both kids are in school now, so rover is something I want to pick back up on until I find something and continue on the side once I start back working. My availability is pretty open.. I am gone from 7:40am-8:10am & 2:20-3:20pm Monday-Friday to drop off/pick up my children from school. I would absolutely love to help with your fur-baby(ies) from companionship, to feeding schedules, to walking/exercising, bathing, medication and even basic training or continuing the training schedules you already have in place at home! 🙂 I’m currently in between being a stay at home mom and returning to the work force part time, so my availability is pretty open.. Flexible I can accommodate any rules, schedules or training set in place by the owners.. at their home or in mine. I always keep animals separate at feeding times and follow guidelines from owners as far as sleeping arrangements or instructions for how said animal should be put up during times I’m away.
About: I've been taking care of animals my whole life, dogs, cats and a few wild animals too. My friends and family all have animals and I'm usually asked to watch them. I am currently going back to online school, so I will have plenty of time to hang out with your pets and give them plenty of attention. I also live very close to several vets in case of emergency and close to the airport for easy drop off and pickup if you're flying. All pets are unique so I like to follow their lead in what they want and need. My yard is fenced in with cameras, I have a senior female dog and younger male dog who love making friends. I've crate trained several dogs before so crating is no problem. For cat owners cleaning litter boxes is no problem for me.

About: Our family loves animals. We have an English Bulldog named Bo (Bobo) who is very well socialized and loves other animals. He is 7 and loves to play. We also have a Bassett Hound named Opal and she loves to play! Opal is 3. Our children are ages 17, 16, 10 and 2 and they love animals as well and will provide tons of attention! My husband and I have always had dogs/cats ever since we were young. We have also cared for animals throughout the years for others. We believe that animals are what helps tie a family together and that a house is not a home without them! We live in a very pet friendly neighborhood with lots of sidewalks to walk on for dog walks. We also have a fenced in yard. The dogs can go in and out as they please through a doggy door. I love photos and will provide many during your pet’s stay! Our home is a Smoke free home. We’d love to help! My children are home during the early afternoon, after school while my husband and I are at work; however, my job is flexible with days working from home. My husband pops in throughout the day. We have a fenced in yard and a doggy door. We have gates set up throughout the house to separate dogs while eating or when needed. We do not let dogs upstairs, but they are free to roam downstairs. My children are home during the early afternoon, after school while my husband and I are at work; however, my job is flexible with days working from home. My husband pops in throughout the day.
About: I treat each pet as my own and will do whatever I can to make their stay comfortable and relaxing. We have a beautiful half acre fenced in yard perfect for your dog to run and play. I'm very caring for dogs and cats and have been taking care of animals for 10 years. I enjoy taking dogs out for walks and giving them exercise and making a bed for them on the couch or in our bed. I always joke that my children have four paws and I will treat your pets as if they are my own. With some pets being very anxious when their owners are not around, I make it my mission for the pet to feel relaxed and loved. If your pet prefers to have their own space we can accommodate for that as well! I've taken care of over 50 dogs throughout my life and can't wait to meet yours! I work from home so your fur baby will have someone with them at all times. Your baby is able to sleep the day away or help me run some meetings 😂 We have fenced in yard perfect for dogs to run and play. I have a kiddie pool as well for those hot summer days! If your pet doesn’t get a long well with cats, no worries. The cats have their own space in the basement or in a secluded room for the duration of the stay.
About: New here to Oceanway, hometown VA, and I'm a military spouse. Looking to fill my free time with your furry friend. Currently working PT, so I am able to meet a lot of requirements during the day. I owned my first pup (yellow lab) at the age of 19 and he Reed lived for 12.5 years under my care. That’s where I learned responsibility, patience, love, and companionship for my four legged friend. I am available to sit, walk, talk, and play with your pet. The services I can provide= Special needs, separation anxiety attention, food, hugs, butt scratches, treats, and tons of belly rubs. Very outgoing, love to be outdoors, running, working out, and I own a bike if your pet loves bike rides (basket not included) I look forward to providing a positive experience for you and your pet! I am working part time and able to provide any needs you are requesting. Depending on your distance from me, I am willing to go over multiple times a day. I am not looking to stay at anyone’s home, but I am willing to go over multiples time in a day to walk, feed, and fulfill any needs requested. I have a senior dog who is on medication so I prefer to be home due to his excessive urination. I have a fenced yard if you’re dog is friendly and I can host them at my home.
About: As the saying goes, we truly do not deserve our pets. Most of us know this already. But our pets do deserve someone who not only recognizes this fact, but actively works to desperately earn that love and affection they shower us with day in and day out. I am that person :) I am currently between jobs with a bit of a financial cushion to keep me steady for a few months. This will fit in perfectly with my schedule because it’s completely free right now. I am in school right now for Human Services but that will not affect my work. My girl (Maggie) has her crate from when she was a puppy and that’s still very roomy for her, but she doesn’t use it really unless she’s pouting before i leave and she knows she’s not going with me. My house is very clean and she always has fresh water, plenty of potty breaks and lots of pets. Maggie is a bit of a ‘petmaxxer’ where she will consistently bother me until she receives enough pets, but let me tell you, there is never enough pets for her! She’s is my life.

“Shannon was great! Great communication and tons of pictures. She is very friendly and attentive my dog had a great time I can definitely tell she took excellent care of my dog and will def book in future.”
“Gissell was absolutely amazing! I just moved to the area and was heading to a family reunion when our original sitter had to cancel due to a death in the family. I was so worried about where my pups would stay, but Gissell swooped in with a quick response and immediately put my mind at ease. She treated my dogs like royalty — like they were part of her own family! They had an absolute blast, and I could tell just by how happy and relaxed they were that they truly loved being there. I will absolutely be booking with her again for all future stays. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Marlena was absolutely amazing with our dog, Winnie! From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely at ease knowing she was in great hands. Marlena sent us daily updates and adorable pictures that showed how happy and comfortable Winnie was the entire time. It’s clear that she truly loves and understands dogs. Winnie came back happy, healthy, and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, Marlena is the best! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and loving to watch their pup.”
“Kelly was an amazing host !! She couldn’t have been more accommodating and hospitable to my elderly lady dog, Lacy. Kelly’s farm residence is perfect and I couldn’t have asked for a better place for Lacy to stay while I was traveling. I would definitely recommend Kelly 🐶❤️💫”
“Second time Kaitland takes care of my dogs. Always so kind, nice and patient (my great dane has lots of energy and is strong). Definitely you want Kaitland to petsit your pets!”
“Excellent experience with Megan! She took great care of our dog while we took a last minute family trip. She gave us regular updates and included pictures and videos. She even took him on several walks which was greatly appreciated. Highly recommend!”
“I could have not asked for a better dog sitter!! Everything about Wendy was great! I booked with less than 8 hours of notice and she was very accommodating. She accommodated to my dogs preferred walking schedule and showered him with love and treats. She also kept me updated everyday with his status and loads of photos. I would highly recommend her and would use her again anytime I am out of town. I feel very comfortable with her watching my little baby.”
“Josilyn was great! This is my first time having a puppy and she was able to calm my nerves about it. She was more than happy to work on his obedience training while taking care of him and made sure to get him lots of exercise and play! She is also a dog groomer and was patient with Watson during his first grooming session! Excited to use her again to watch my baby.”
“Boarding my 2 dogs with Andrea was the best decision I could have made with the circumstances! My husband and I went out of the country and had no service so we would not have been able to keep in touch in case of emergency or accident which did make us nervous based on previous experiences, however, Andrea did a meet and greet with us before our trip and was super understanding about the situation. She still sent daily updates and pictures and videos that I was able to see upon return. She took the time to give feedback on things that worked for her as a sitter to overcome obstacles that came along with our dogs! She was very knowledgeable when it came to caring for them and did an amazing job with their medical needs as well as general needs! She was transparent with us and I could tell that our dogs were comfortable with her and had a good time while we were away. I will DEFINITELY be booking with Andrea again in the future.”
“Edward is fantastic! Our dog stayed with him for 10 days and came back happy and well-cared for. It took all the stress out of our vacation knowing he was in such good hands.”

“Rocco had a wonderful stay with Kelly. He enjoyed the fenced yard, pool time, and plenty of one-on-one attention. We felt confident he was safe, loved, and well cared for, and we look forward to booking with her again.”
“Thank you for watching Diesel, my big baby. Jerome helped me out big time by taking a last minute boarding request so I could attend a funeral. He sent plenty of pictures and I was able to stress about one less thing. He was very hospitable upon arrival and I loved that I didn’t have to lug around Diesel’s crate. When I picked Diesel up, he gave me a great recommendation about his food. If I ever need to book a boarding service, Jerome will be the first person I contact.”
About: I’ve always lived with many cats and dogs my whole life. I’ve had a variety of pets of all ages including rabbits, snakes, bearded dragons, hamsters. I’ve also fostered many kittens and puppies and I currently have 2 dogs and 2 cats, the majority rescues. I’m a huge animal lover! I am mostly a stay at home mom with 4 pets. We take the dogs on daily walks and sometimes to the park. We are always spending time outdoors in our spacious back yard with our dogs running around and cats climbing trees and roofs and such! I have 2 dogs and 2 cats both very friendly if spending time together! I also have a fenced in yard with a garden. I have a separate indoor petroom stocked with a couple crates (if needed for my big dog), enclosed cat litter boxes, a large cat climbing tree, plenty of pet food and treats, many water bowls and toys for all! And a very family friendly neighborhood for walks and a spacious (not fenced) park as well.
“I had a 10/10 experience with Alicia this past weekend while she watched my dog, Kingston. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Alicia was incredibly patient, kind, and attentive with him. She sent daily updates and photos, which meant so much to us while we were away. I’m so thankful to have found her and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. Your baby will absolutely be in great hands with Alicia!”
“This was our first time to use a petsitter for our dog and our Rosie was not only taken care of, but also pampered and spoiled by our petsitter Debbie, she kept us informed and updated with photos and text la that gave us a piece of mind, I will absolutely use this service again. TY!”
“McKensie is, without a doubt, the best pet sitter I’ve ever had. From the moment we met, it was obvious how much she genuinely loves animals and treats them like family. She took incredible care of my cats, gave me complete peace of mind while I was away, and kept me updated so I never had to worry. She is dependable, caring, professional, and goes above and beyond in every way. It’s rare to find someone you can trust completely with your pets, but McKensie has earned that trust. My pets were happy, well cared for, and loved while I was gone. If you’re looking for someone to care for your pet children as if they were her own, look no further. McKensie is #1 in my book, and I recommend her without hesitation. Thank you for taking such amazing care of my furry family!”
