“Thank you so much for keeping Dakota you were great and made sure I was updated on how Dakota was doing during his stay I can tell he had a great time will book again with you in the future”
“Sheila did an outstanding job dogsitting our dog, Rudy - we never worried one minute about his care which was wonderful - so we could relax and enjoy our vacation. And, especially, she kept in touch with us daily with photos and conversation. Was awesome!”
“Very happy with Naomi. We felt very comfortable with her upon first meeting. So much so that we requested minimal updates during our mini vacation. Sheeba immediately took to her as did Naomi to her. We definitely plan to use her in the future.”
“Jordan was fantastic and took great care of my fur baby. My pup can be high maintenance, but Jordan was very good at attention to detail and great with interacting with her and sending photos.”
“Ana was awesome with our fur baby. She sent me pictures multiple times a day and messaged back quickly any time I messaged to check on him. By far the best experience I’ve had on rover. I definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“I was new to the area and looking to find a sitter for my dog on short notice. I connected with Nicole and she took great care of my dog during my travels. Communications were easy and she worked with me on a few scheduling challenges. My dog was very happy in her care and Nicole sent a fun video during the stay. Highly recommend.”
“Dakota was absolutely amazing! Her whole family made my puppy's first time away from us so smooth. I got plenty of pictures and videos while I was gone, and I could tell he was having a great time with them and their sweet dog. I highly recommend her for your pup. I had no fear leaving Kirk with her after our meet and greet because I could tell she would make sure my pup is very well cared for and loved. Zero complaints. Dakota is awesome!”
“We had an amazing experience with our dog sitter! She took incredible care of our dog, treated her like family, played with her constantly, and made sure she was happy and comfortable the entire time. We especially appreciated all the photo and video updates — it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can truly tell she cares about animals and goes above and beyond. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and caring. Definitely a 5-star experience!”
“Samantha is so amazing! Left my 6 year old Great Dane with her and I received photos of my furbaby everyday making new friends and hogging up the sofa. I'm so glad I found an amazing place for my Dane to have a great time with new friends and caring humans.”
“Madison was an absolute rockstar with my 8 month old pup. She was kind, and extremely caring with Cali. She kept me updated on Cali daily - my little girl was BEAMING in every picture from ear-to-ear. Cali misses having a buddy like Roma to run around with for sure. In the future we will ABSOLUTELY be electing Madison’s services.”
“Jessica did a wonderful job with Koda. Jessica sent lots of pictures and updates. Koda came home happy and healthy. Thanks for a great stay. Would definitely book again. The only downside was Jessica lives on base so we had to meet up at a location off base and transfer car to car. Not a big deal but may matter to some.”
“Andrew and Maria are amazing. Our dog bonded with Maria instantly; she is a true “dog whisperer” and has a profound gift with animals. They both did an excellent job caring for our dog. You won’t find a nicer couple to look after your pet in the area. I highly recommend them!!!”
“Harvey accepted our booking about two days before us arriving in town! We were very anxious to leave HoneyBear with him, but she went straight to him and went right in his home. When she was standing at the door barking as we left, he gently closed the door, which definitely helped us and possibly HoneyBear, too. When I reached out to Harvey, he responded quickly and sent us pictures of HoneyBear as well. She was always on the couch (probably beside him)! When we picked her up, she seemed to be content and obviously happy to see her human dad. Harvey definitely earned our trust with HoneyBear’s visit!”
“i would recommend million with anyone forever! as soon as nova got out of the car to meet million she felt at home so comfortable , she has such a great connection with dogs. she took such great care of Nova my husky lab that is literally a ball of energy. i had a vacation and nova did as well, i was kept updated at all time many pictures and videos were sent to me and nova was so happy.”
“First time using her services and we are very pleased with the care our dog Oscar received while in her care. It shows that she is a dog lover, super nice lady. Oscar definitely was spoiled in her home. We will be using her services again in the near future. Thanks Jeannette!”
“Robert went above and beyond watching our dog, who can be a handful. He sent us pictures daily and haley just had a great time. He has a dog named charlie, and haley has a new boyfriend! His house is dog proofed with gates up. Robert is a PRO! He gave haley her medicine. He knows how to handle to handle dogs, and i just can't say enough nice things about how he treated my dog. I don't even think my dog wanted to go home! Thank you so much robert for taking such good care of our beloved dog, it is so nice knowing we have a place to put haley when we go away and don't have to worry.”
About: I have had a deep passion for dogs since I was a young girl. My experience in dog care began in high school when I cared for a sick loved one’s dog. Over the course of that year, I not only gained a best friend but also developed a strong sense of responsibility and an appreciation for the joy and companionship that comes with caring for animals. Over the past 3–4 years, I have continued building my experience through dog sitting, and for the past two years, I have worked in a dog daycare and boarding facility. These experiences have strengthened my dedication to providing attentive, compassionate care while maintaining a safe and structured environment. I am committed to supporting both pets and their owners with reliability and professionalism. I’m available anytime after dropping my son off to school @8:30am. Or before/after picking him up from aftercare, by 5:30pm. I box on weekdays but can go around what ever is needed. At my home I have a fenced backyard, enough space to crate 1-3 dogs if need be. I want the dog to be as comfortable as possible, a home away from home. As for clients homes , they are to be treated with respect & cleanliness it is their safe space, same as my home.
About: Hi there! I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. From energetic puppies to senior pets who just want a calm companion, I truly enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality and needs. For the past 7 years, I’ve worked as a professional animal trainer with marine mammals—so patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement are at the core of everything I do. I bring that same thoughtful, reward-based approach to working with dogs and other pets. I currently have a small Pomeranian mix of my own, so I understand just how important it is to trust someone with your four-legged family member. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and well-being are always my top priorities—and I’ll care for them just like they’re part of my own family. Pet care fits easily into my routine alongside my 9–5 schedule. I’m available for morning and evening visits during the week, and I’m fully available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for more flexible care. I’m careful to only accept bookings I can fully commit to, so every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine and comfort level, whether in my home or yours. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and preferred routines. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and a calm, safe environment. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and work to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. My goal is always to keep your pet happy, stress-free, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Macie was so amazing. I love how Bleu feel like he was right at home. He was so comfortable around her and her family and that had made me feel so good inside. I would highly recommend Macie to watch your fur baby. I will definitely have her to watch Bleu again. Macie, thank you so much! 🤗”

“Mina is a scardey-cat. I was almost positive that Rebecca would not see Mina while checking in on her daily, and I was correct. What did matter is that Mina’s litter box was clean when I got home and she had plenty of food and freshwater available to her. I will defiiitely use Rebecca’s services again. 😻”
“What a wonderful experience! Kristin Lynn always takes such good care of my cat and sends great photos. She’s communicative and super punctual, and I know my cat is safe with her. He even gets on her lap which is something that usually takes a while for him! Would recommend without hesitation.”
“Kathryn was very easy to get along with and she has a clear love of cats. She sent short but clear daily updates of feedings, cleanings, and how my cat was doing and interacting with her.”
“Taelor is incredibly kind and professional. Our Fiona took a liking to her immediately. Taelor left us feeling very comfortable for our first time leaving our cat for an extended period of time.”
“I couldn’t be more pleased with how everything went and will continue with Lisa in the future. Thank you for sites like this that put pet owners in touch with capable people willing to help us when we are in need. 🤩”
“Melanie dropped by our home to check on our two kittens. She always sent updates and pictures. She communicated very well and was super trustworthy! We’ll definitely have her watch our cats again 😊”
About: I’ve always had a special love for cats and truly enjoy spending time with them. I’m happy to keep their routine consistent by cleaning the litter box, refreshing food and water, giving oral medications if needed, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
“Ana was a great help checking in on my cat, Rose, while I was away for the weekend! She did everything I asked her to do and gave great updates. Rose seemed to take to her right away and didn’t hide at all like I had expected!”
“Alexis was very flexible and kept us up to date. We had to make last minute changes to our travel plans and she worked with us very well. She took very good care of our little pup :) Thank you Alexis!”
“Vanessa was terrific and really put us at ease to leave our pets in her care. She was reliable and responsible with our kitties. They warmed up to her in a few days as she was a natural with them. We really are 100% pleased and feeling great about finding Vanessa.”
“Kendall was great with my cats! Normally when we come home from a trip they seem agitated, but after having Kendall check on them they were happy, calm and seemed like they got a mini vacation too. Would highly recommend Kendall to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Tiffany was great! She was available for a last minute trip and was able to easily adjust the days to match our plans. She also brought in an unexpected package that was delivered while we were away.”
“Lauren was so great with our dog and cat! We reached out to her on short notice and she responded so quickly. My pets warmed up to her and I feel like she really treated them like her own!!! Definitely will be using her for our next trip out of town!”

“Was scrambling to find a sitter the night before work and Ana was so accommodating. My pup is still learning how to be around people/dogs and she was so warm & welcoming. I got update pictures throughout the day and Knoxx looked so happy to be there! She is absolutely amazing and most definitely will be using her services again!”
About: I've always had pets growing up from turtles, fish, ferrets and cats and dogs! I have watched several of my friends and family pets. I am currently working from home 40 hours a week and can host a dog or 2 depending on size for daycare/boarding. I am also available for morning and evening check-ins and walks! I do work from home so your babies can come hang out with me and my puppers during the work day and play out all their energy! I do have a 1.5 yr old golden doodle who loves to play and stays home with me now that I work from home. We love to go on walks or go to the park.
“Maribel was super attentive to our pup Mochi! She sent us updates during the sitting, and as soon as we brought Mochi home, she fell right asleep!! Thank you so much for watching our pup!!”
“Rosie and Jackson stayed with Sheila for day care. I had 2 very tired pups in the evening (and they are still sleeping) and I'm a happy Mom! I received photos and messages from my pups throughout the day how well they were doing. I didn't have to worry about them at all! Pups had Great time!”
“They took good care of my baby, Perry. We came to Miramar, FL not knowing that you need a permit to bring dogs to the beach- which was the plan to bring Perry to see the beach for the first time- and Andrew & Maria came to the rescue to babysit Perry for a whole day while my husband & I had a beach date. Definitely will contact them again next time we're there.”
“Nicole was WONDERFUL to deal with! We booked very last minute changed plans 3 times and picked her up early due to plan changes and Nicole was super cool and easy to communicate with the entire time. My pup is very anxious and she went right into Nicoles home like she had been there 100 times. Finding a sitter for Lilah is soooo difficult and stressful with her anxiety and Nicole made it a breeze. She truly was a blessing 💕”
“We had a great experience with our Rover sitter, Jeanette! She was able to accommodate a last-minute request, which we really appreciated, and took excellent care of our dog while we were away. She sent regular photos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind and let us see how happy and well cared for our pup was. Communication was smooth from start to finish, and we felt completely confident leaving our dog in her care. We would absolutely book with Jeanette again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter!”
About: I’m not sure that I’m much different then most pet loving people. I do have experience training adults and puppies, I have had a variety of breeds for pets. I feel that I can connect with dogs. My pets went to obedience school, allowing me to pick up some training skills. I haven’t met a friendly dog that I didn’t fall in love with yet. As I said before- Let me love your pets. Plenty of time for whatever you and your pets needs may be. I have open availability at this time, so please take advantage while it lasts. I have a large fenced in backyard with a pool. If your baby likes to swim, provide the life jacket and we will have some fun in the water.
About: I have cared for and trained canines for decades. As a decades long instructor, I have a developed strong compassionate care attributes that have blended well with my care for furry friends. I am retired and spend most of my time at home or doing activities with my fur child. Taking care of my pet is what I do. I have a fully fenced property with plenty of room to run. I am conscientious and respectful of persons reasonable requests that are unique to their pet.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve cared for pets since my teenage years and have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from small companion breeds to large German Shepherds. I’m currently the proud dog mom of Neptune, our 7-year-old Pomsky, and two rescued shelter cats from Louisiana. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal with patience, attention, and genuine care. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, which allows me plenty of time to give your pets attention, playtime, walks, and care throughout the day. My husband also works remotely part-time from home, so there is usually someone home during the day. Our teenage daughter is home for the summer as well, meaning your pets will receive lots of love, attention, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We recently added a fenced 0.34-acre yard with plenty of room for supervised outdoor play and exercise. Our home is calm, family-oriented, and full of animal lovers, with multiple people available to give attention and care. I’m experienced with dogs of many sizes and personalities and will always follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.

About: I've been taking care of animals ever since I was young, from hamsters to fish to dogs and more. I've managed both calm and trouble making animals and have experience dealing with the full age range of pets due to my personal experience as a dog owner, and from my time volunteering as a foster home for dog shelters. I'm currently working part-time, and so I have an incredibly flexible schedule. I'm available for just about hour of day for any period of time. Taking care of animals has been my weekly norm since I was a kid, so it's just what I'm used to. I have a large fenced yard for pets to feel free and roam around, and I've a multitude of my own resources at home such as bowls, crates, and pens to be used as needed. I usually like to give a pet a feel of independence to wander however they'd like throughout the home and yard, but can easily step in if greater supervision is needed. I'm usually always in the same space as my animals.
About: Hey there! I'm Jaznie and I'm absolutely thrilled to offer the best care for your beloved family member right here in Fort Walton Beach! I have years of experience as a dedicated pet owner, growing up my house was always full of bunnies, dogs, cats, turtles and even little parrots. I understand that your pets aren't just animals, they're members of the home. Whether your pup needs an energetic walk, a cozy lap to nap on, or your feline friend requires some extra playtime and cuddles, I'm here to provide personalized attention and a safe, loving environment. I'm passionate about making sure your pets feel comfortable, happy, and well-cared for while you're away, giving you complete peace of mind. Why choose me? I'm reliable, attentive, and genuinely adore animals. I'm also committed to clear communication and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can see how much fun your pet is having! Let's connect and chat about how I can be the perfect pal for your pet. I'm thrilled to offer exclusive, one-on-one pet care. My schedule is wide open, meaning your pets will be the sole focus of my attention. No juggling multiple clients here! I want every pet to feel loved and cared for, not uncomfortable by the presence of other animals they haven't been properly introduced to. A typical day with me starts early between 7 and 8 AM with a refreshing walk around my neighborhood. We'll then settle into a rhythm that includes dedicated playtime, mental stimulation through trick practice (with owner-approved treats!), and plenty of cuddles. Midday will bring another chance for outdoor adventure, ensuring your pet is happy and active. As evening approaches, I'll gently guide them into their wind-down routine, aiming for a consistent bedtime. They can even sleep in my room for extra comfort and security, unless you prefer they have their own space. I'm constantly attuned to their needs – whether it's a longer walk, more water, or just extra snuggles. And I will send pictures throughout the day of the things your pet is doing so you know everything is going accordingly. How I Care for Pets in My Home (Boarding): When your furry family member stays with me, they become part of my temporary household! I only host one family's pets at a time, ensuring your beloved companion receives my undivided attention and a stress-free environment. This means no sharing space or attention with other clients' animals, just personalized love for your pet. A typical day begins between 7 and 8 AM with a neighborhood walk. We then settle into a comfortable routine that includes: Plenty of Playtime & Cuddles: Engaging play sessions tailored to their energy level or cozy snuggles on the couch. Mental Stimulation: We can practice tricks and provide treats (approved by you, of course!) to keep their minds sharp and engaged. Consistent Potty Breaks: Another walk is always on the agenda later in the day to ensure they're comfortable. Attentive Care: I'm always checking on water levels and food, ensuring they get the perfect amount of outdoor time, and watching for any signs of discomfort. Nighttime Routine: As the day winds down, I help them settle into their evening routine, aiming for a consistent bedtime. For their comfort and security, your pet is welcome to sleep in my room (unless you prefer they have their own designated, comfortable space). Daily Updates: You'll receive regular photo and text updates, so you can see how much fun your pet is having and have complete peace of mind. To ensure your pet feels perfectly at home and comfortable during their stay, please pack everything they'll need for their visit. This helps maintain their routine and makes them feel more secure! Here's a quick list to get you started: Their Bed: Please ensure it's thoroughly clean before drop-off, or I can clean it for an additional fee. Food: Enough for their entire stay, plus a little extra just in case! Food & Water Bowls Favorite Toys Collar & Leash Crate (if applicable): If they are crate-trained or use one for sleeping. Any Medications with clear instructions. Anything else you feel is necessary to make their stay feel like home! I'm truly excited to welcome your furry friend and provide them with a fantastic, loving experience here in my home.

“When we need someone to watch our babies again Rebecca is who we will turn to. She kept us updated while we were away and the pets were getting along better when we got back. I do’t know what she said to them but I won’t be surprised if I find our dog and younger cat curled up together. He has become quite protective of her. After Rebecca left, our Maddox cried. He wanted to go with her. Rebecca is a keeper as a sitter. I highly recommend her. Very carring.”

About: Hi, I’m Jennifer! Animals have always been at the center of my life. I grew up in rural Pennsylvania surrounded by the Amish community, where caring for animals, from cows and goats to dogs and cats, was simply part of daily life. That early experience shaped my respect for animals of all kinds and gave me a lifelong passion for their care. Today, I’m proud to be both a certified yoga instructor and a devoted pet mom to three wonderful dogs and several cats. I bring the same patience, energy, and mindfulness from my yoga practice into how I care for animals. Over the past 20 years, I’ve gained extensive experience with dogs and cats of all ages, but I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs and cats. From gentle walks to providing comfort and administering medications, I understand the extra attention and compassion they need in their golden years. Whether your pet needs an energetic play session, a calming stroll, or specialized senior care, I adapt to their unique personality and routines. I am flexible, reliable, and committed to making your life easier while giving your pet the very best care. You can relax knowing your four-legged family member is in good hands. I treat every pet like my own, because I know how much trust it takes to leave your fur-baby in someone else’s care. Walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, litter box cleaning, or simply keeping them company, I make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. No task is too big or too small.

In the past, I have cared for fish, snails, horses, rabbits, ferrets, a tarantula, and a variety of birds. I am open to watching animals of all kinds! I am able to provide drop in care any time on the weekends and morning/lunchtime/evening during the work week. I am also able to provide dog boarding in my home. I work Monday-Friday but my office is in the same neighborhood as my house - and is pet friendly! For drop in care, my goal is to provide care that keeps to the pets' regular schedule as much as possible in order to ensure they feel safe and cared for. I am able to medicate cats and dogs. For in home care, I am able to accommodate up to 2 dogs from the same household. I have a large, pet friendly house and fenced back yard. All boarding dogs must be cat friendly and good with other dogs.
About: Ive grown up with dogs my whole life, as well as having my own. I was responsible for all responsibilities of owning a pet. I pet sit for family and friends numerous times growing up and currently work at a shelter. I hope this gives you the peace of mind knowing that your fur babies will be taken care of and loved! When I'm not at the shelter, I spend my off days taking the shelter dogs out on doggy dates! I'd love to care for you fur babies on my off day! I have a fenced yard They get feed 2x a day Crate trained and know basic commands and tricks My pets do have access to the whole house and are allowed on beds and furniture
About: While professional dog walking for others is new for me, caring for dogs is not. I was lucky to spend 14 amazing years with my own dog, who was truly my soul dog and taught me so much about patience, attentiveness, routine, and unconditional love. After recently stepping away from my corporate career to slow down and focus on things that genuinely bring me joy - spending time with dogs, being active outdoors, creating meaningful connections. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I would care for them with the same kindness, attention, and love I gave my own. Whether your furry friend loves long walks, playtime, or simply companionship, I'm excited to provide a safe, fun and loving experience for them. Because I've recently stepped away from a corporate career I am flexible with my time, which allows me the ability to care for your furry friend. Dog walking is the perfect fit for this season of life because it combines my love for dogs, being active outdoors, and building meaningful connections in my community. You can expect dependable communication, punctuality, lots of love and attention for your pup, and someone who will care for them as if they were my own. At this time, I’m focusing exclusively on dog walking so I can provide the best possible experience and attention to each pup I care for. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I will make sure they are securely leashed, closely supervised, walked in safe areas, and cared for according to your instructions and their individual needs. Whether your dog enjoys energetic walks or a slower pace, you can expect dependable care, patience, and lots of love every step of the way.
About: I've had at least one dog my entire life but currently not quite ready for another one after the loss of our little buddy. Sorry, but dogs are just better than people. I live in a condo close to a park and miles of walkability on quite streets/sidewalks. I will happily snuggle the crap out of your fur baby when you're not able to. 😀 I have my mornings free I'm almost always home on the weekends. Plenty of walks and time outside will not be a problem for your pupper! Please let me know if you have a fenced back yard for your fur baby to roam or if leashed walks will be required. If walks are expected, please make me aware of any car/squirrle/cat/etc chasing habits, fear of cars, etc.
About: Hi there! I'd love to help take care of your fur babies while you're away. I offer drop in visits for dogs and cats in the Shalimar/Eglin/FWB area. I also offer dog boarding in my home. If you're interested in requesting to board your dog I want to be certain we are a great fit for your pup. Please see below for details: -Your dog must be ok with other dogs (I personally have 2 large dogs) -Your dog must be ok with cats (I have 1 sassy cat) I do ask your dog be comfortable in a kennel for short periods for the first day or two(Approx 4hrs max at a time,I require this for when I have to leave the house for the first few days while the dogs are still getting to know each other, I want everyone to be safe) After comfort has been established and if you normally allow your dog to free roam and prefer it, that is no problem. We love to let our pups free roam. -I do work Mon-Fri but work 5 minutes away and always come home and hour for lunch I've been working with local rescues and shelters for years walking, caring for, and fostering animals. I've also watched many pets for friends and family. I have a full privacy fenced yard. I enjoy doing drop in visits for both cats and dogs and dog walking. I also love boarding dogs in my home. I love cats and can offer drop in visits in your home for them, however I am unable to board cats in my home(our cat isn't a fan of other cats) I have a military background and understand the challenges military pet owners face. I do have Eglin base access. If you're going on an extended TDY/deployment beyond 3 weeks reach out for special pricing. * I require a meet and greet prior to any boarding confirmation to ensure everyone is comfortable and gets along. The saftey and well being of your pets and mine is my #1 priority. I currently work full time during the day(Mon-Fri) , but am fortunate enough to work only a few minutes from home. I can do drop ins/walks in the morning/evenings. I also come home at lunch or could do drop in/walk during my lunch break if needed. If I'm caring for your pets in your home, I will ask your preferences. If I am boarding them, I allow animals to free roam the home while I am home. While I'm gone I generally kennel to ensure everyone's saftey since I'm not there to keep an eye on eveyone.(I can always make exceptions to this based on the dog, especially once I know eveyone is comfortable with each other) I do have a fully fenced backyard and a doggy door and we will also enjoy daily walks. *Please have your pup wear a collar for their visit with their information on it. Its a simple way to keep them safe in a new environment.

Want to FaceTime your babies? Let's do it! I get it, I'm a dog/cat mom too. If I board your pet, I will need their kennel if possible.

About: I currently work as a kennel tech and was raised in a household full of cats, dogs, bunnies, birds, and fish so I have pretty great experience with various animals and get along well with any kind of pet. I no longer work full time due to pregnancy so I will be home throughout the day to dedicate my time and attention to your pet! Pets take high priority in my home as well as the clients home. I make sure to schedule and follow through with feeding, potty breaks, and any necessary exercise.

“Jordan was fantastic and took great care of my fur baby. My pup can be high maintenance, but Jordan was very good at attention to detail and great with interacting with her and sending photos.”
“Ana was awesome with our fur baby. She sent me pictures multiple times a day and messaged back quickly any time I messaged to check on him. By far the best experience I’ve had on rover. I definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“I was new to the area and looking to find a sitter for my dog on short notice. I connected with Nicole and she took great care of my dog during my travels. Communications were easy and she worked with me on a few scheduling challenges. My dog was very happy in her care and Nicole sent a fun video during the stay. Highly recommend.”
“Dakota was absolutely amazing! Her whole family made my puppy's first time away from us so smooth. I got plenty of pictures and videos while I was gone, and I could tell he was having a great time with them and their sweet dog. I highly recommend her for your pup. I had no fear leaving Kirk with her after our meet and greet because I could tell she would make sure my pup is very well cared for and loved. Zero complaints. Dakota is awesome!”
“We had an amazing experience with our dog sitter! She took incredible care of our dog, treated her like family, played with her constantly, and made sure she was happy and comfortable the entire time. We especially appreciated all the photo and video updates — it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can truly tell she cares about animals and goes above and beyond. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and caring. Definitely a 5-star experience!”
“Samantha is so amazing! Left my 6 year old Great Dane with her and I received photos of my furbaby everyday making new friends and hogging up the sofa. I'm so glad I found an amazing place for my Dane to have a great time with new friends and caring humans.”
“Madison was an absolute rockstar with my 8 month old pup. She was kind, and extremely caring with Cali. She kept me updated on Cali daily - my little girl was BEAMING in every picture from ear-to-ear. Cali misses having a buddy like Roma to run around with for sure. In the future we will ABSOLUTELY be electing Madison’s services.”
“Jessica did a wonderful job with Koda. Jessica sent lots of pictures and updates. Koda came home happy and healthy. Thanks for a great stay. Would definitely book again. The only downside was Jessica lives on base so we had to meet up at a location off base and transfer car to car. Not a big deal but may matter to some.”
“Andrew and Maria are amazing. Our dog bonded with Maria instantly; she is a true “dog whisperer” and has a profound gift with animals. They both did an excellent job caring for our dog. You won’t find a nicer couple to look after your pet in the area. I highly recommend them!!!”
“Harvey accepted our booking about two days before us arriving in town! We were very anxious to leave HoneyBear with him, but she went straight to him and went right in his home. When she was standing at the door barking as we left, he gently closed the door, which definitely helped us and possibly HoneyBear, too. When I reached out to Harvey, he responded quickly and sent us pictures of HoneyBear as well. She was always on the couch (probably beside him)! When we picked her up, she seemed to be content and obviously happy to see her human dad. Harvey definitely earned our trust with HoneyBear’s visit!”
“First time using her services and we are very pleased with the care our dog Oscar received while in her care. It shows that she is a dog lover, super nice lady. Oscar definitely was spoiled in her home. We will be using her services again in the near future. Thanks Jeannette!”
“Robert went above and beyond watching our dog, who can be a handful. He sent us pictures daily and haley just had a great time. He has a dog named charlie, and haley has a new boyfriend! His house is dog proofed with gates up. Robert is a PRO! He gave haley her medicine. He knows how to handle to handle dogs, and i just can't say enough nice things about how he treated my dog. I don't even think my dog wanted to go home! Thank you so much robert for taking such good care of our beloved dog, it is so nice knowing we have a place to put haley when we go away and don't have to worry.”
About: I have had a deep passion for dogs since I was a young girl. My experience in dog care began in high school when I cared for a sick loved one’s dog. Over the course of that year, I not only gained a best friend but also developed a strong sense of responsibility and an appreciation for the joy and companionship that comes with caring for animals. Over the past 3–4 years, I have continued building my experience through dog sitting, and for the past two years, I have worked in a dog daycare and boarding facility. These experiences have strengthened my dedication to providing attentive, compassionate care while maintaining a safe and structured environment. I am committed to supporting both pets and their owners with reliability and professionalism. I’m available anytime after dropping my son off to school @8:30am. Or before/after picking him up from aftercare, by 5:30pm. I box on weekdays but can go around what ever is needed. At my home I have a fenced backyard, enough space to crate 1-3 dogs if need be. I want the dog to be as comfortable as possible, a home away from home. As for clients homes , they are to be treated with respect & cleanliness it is their safe space, same as my home.
“Macie was so amazing. I love how Bleu feel like he was right at home. He was so comfortable around her and her family and that had made me feel so good inside. I would highly recommend Macie to watch your fur baby. I will definitely have her to watch Bleu again. Macie, thank you so much! 🤗”
“Barbara is absolutely AMAZING! I have had to change my trip so many times due to schedule changes, and she was SO accommodating. She kept me continuously updated with photos and videos the entire time, and took the best care of my baby 🐶. I swear she was MADE for this! Thank you so much again Barbara, I cannot thank you enough. You ROCK!”
“Cheryl took great care of Aurora and kept me updated on how she was doing. She also sent pictures of Aurora which was reassuring to see. Will be booking again with Cheryl in the future!!”
“We were so thankful to have found Vanessa to watch our dog in her home. She has a strong background working with animals and it shows in the approach to her care. She made sure our dog was a good fit for their household & put me at ease before heading out of town. Vanessa is a great communicator and her family is extremely accommodating. Thank you for taking such great care of our sweet girl & making her part of the family while we were gone!”
“Erik took such great care of my dog! He sent pictures and updates everyday. He took my dog on many walks/runs! I would highly recommend Erik to anyone that is visiting the Emerald Coast area and is in need of dog care!”
