She treated Sandy like her own baby, constantly sending us pictures, updates, and letting us know how she was doing, which gave us so much peace of mind. It’s clear that Ely truly loves and cares for the pups she watches. She works incredibly hard to make sure they are happy, safe, loved, and well taken care of.

We would absolutely recommend Ely to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable to watch their furry family member. She is amazing, and we are so grateful we found her!”

About: Growing up, pets were always part of my family. From affectionate cats to loyal dogs, I learned early the importance of patience, responsibility, and compassionate care. Those experiences helped shape my love for animals and taught me how to understand their unique personalities, needs, and the comfort they bring to our lives.

About: I've always had a deep connection with dogs. I bring a very calming canine energy, and trust is gained quickly. Anyone who has a dog(s) and knows me well will ask me to sit for them when they can't provide the care their dogs need. When I retired from my successful 45 year sales career, I had planned on getting a dog. As it's turned out, my friends and neighbors with dogs have kept me very busy. And it's been the most fulfilling and gratifying chapter of my life. I just have an innate ability to connect with dogs and what I give to them, they give back to me. It's been a very rewarding time in my life now that I get to do what I love best: to be surrounded with canine company. And I can unequivocally and honestly say I'm very good at it. As I said, I'm retired and can easily accommodate the needs of prospective clients. I'm readily available and am very flexible with you and your dog's schedules. I live in my recently renovated condo in the very upscale community of Coral Ridge in Fort Lauderdale. It's a small two-story residence easily accessible to lush parks and magnificent estate homes. We have excellent security with a Neighborhood Watch and private 24 hour Coral Ridge Patrols. Patrolling

About: I have loved animals since I was a child, watching Discovery Channel and National Geographic. I adopted my dog, Coco Chanel, when she was 4 months old and she is now 13 years old. I began studying Pre-Veterinary Medicine right out of high school, but opted to follow my artistic endeavors in music. I addition to the great number of dogs I’ve boarded/walked and cats I’ve done drop in visits with, my experience is very personal, as it has just been my dog Coco and I for quite some time. Coco was very timid and frightened when I first adopted her and she has gradually come out of her shell, with patience and love. I would love a chance to care for your precious family member and I can guarantee a stay filled with love and compassion! I’m home full-time. If I’m out, it’s typically less than 8 hours. I work minutes from home, so I can always do a drop in to check up. All boarders have free range of my home, including a gated patio (with supervision)! A/C is always on and they always have access to the kitchen for water and food.

About: My young adult canine was a male 110lb Doberman Pinscher who I was blessed to have for 10 and 1/2 years. I had a male golden doodle after that and now I have two toy poodles (mother and daughter) and my parents have the father and one of the sons from her litter. I have trained all the dogs I’ve ever owned from potty training the new litter, to off leash commands and walks with my golden doodle and Doberman. From my years of being a veterinary technician I have experience with senior dog and cat care as well. I currently work remotely and am part-time. I am a social media marketing manager and a journalist. I work Mondays, Wednesdays, every other Friday and Sundays and would be available for walks and able to feed your pets every day of the week or weekend. I follow the rules and guidelines that are given to me by the owners. I am familiar with obedience training, crate training, and leash training especially in younger pups.

“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.

“Always a pleasure leaving my fur baby with Judy. She’s my number 1 go to when it comes to taking care of my pup, for the past 2 years! Love her and her family, they are the sweetest and take care of my Copen like he’s their own pup!”
“Ariel took great care of my dog while I was out of town. I have a very nervous, anxious dog but she quickly got comfortable with Ariel. She sent me updates and pictures every day so I could relax on my trip knowing my dog was being well taken care of. I recommend using her for boarding and will rebook.”
“I would definitely recommend Gheraldine, she definitely accepted my short notice boarding. She was very responsive very communicative and excellent caretaker for my Bella. She sent pictures daily of her stay I would definitely recommend her in the future.”
“Mafalda was such a great caretaker for my cat! He isn't an easy guy to host, but she was the sweetest and most patient with him. Sent tons of pictures every day as well. I'd definitely use her again!”
“Thomas took care of Ruby (our Belgian Malinois) when we were away, and it was a great experience. He (and his son) were very caring, I received photos of her daily, and he told me all she did during her stay there. I highly recommend him to all! ❤️”
“Our dog, like so many people's dog, is a member of our family, so we are cautious about where he stays and who takes care of him. Sheena is amazing, sends us updates, and is really easy to communicate with and coordinate with. We are blessed to have her to watch our pup and would highly recommend her.”
“I honestly don’t have words for how great Jackie is. We had to leave our barely 5 month old puppy to travel for 5 days and she was in Jackie’s care. I was so worried - she’s never been away from us, so young and so small. Jackie was so great, I almost felt like Layla was sad to come home!! Haha. Jackie sent pics and videos with detailed updates daily and they were the highlight of each day. She is loving, attentive, affectionate and truly connects with your baby. She also speaks dog or something because the first time we met her she said “Oh! Layla has to go #2!” (I was holding her and we had just arrived) and sure enough - she had to go #2! Lol. Can’t thank you enough, Jackie!!!! If you’re looking for a sitter, you’ve found the best available in south Florida!!”
“Amelia was amazing from start to finish! She watched our Irishwolfhound/poodle mix Pepper, and I highly recommend her services. She provided boarding for 3 nights and 4 days. He was very happy from the time he met her and he was such a happy guy when we picked him up. We are very happy with her and will continue to use her for boarding. Thank you!”
“Kathye is amazing. Not only is she the nicest person, but she takes amazing care of her animals. I am overprotective with the pets, but I don't have a moment's worry about them in her care. She sends great photos, is very accommodating, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
“Our pup came home exhausted after a weekend of playing! Dahyana set up a meet and greet to ensure our dogs got along and show us their home. While we were away, she sent us photos and videos. I would rebook with her in the future!”
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.
“Marley always has an amazing time with Ali which is why we keep bringing her back! She is so great with high energy dogs and so flexible with our crazy lives when we need to change things around at the last minute. Cannot recommend her enough!”
“Natalie was the absolute best!!! Our pup had the best time!! She sent lots of updates and pictures every day as well! Can’t wait to use her again! ☺️”
“Stephany was truly amazing and I would rebook her again anytime! My dog had such a fun time, she took him out multiple times throughout the day and made sure that he was loved and cared for, for the five days she watched him!”
