About: I grew up caring for multiple large dogs and cats simultaneously. One of the two labs required extra care as he lost a rear limb when he was a puppy. I currently am blessed with a beautiful domestic long hair cat named Misty that has extra grooming needs and requires extensive daily brushing. My professional lifestyle allows me plenty of available time to meet the needs of any unique or variable schedules for both my own and your pets sitting and walking needs. I’m an experienced dog walker and actively engage with animals to keep their attention and gain their trust. For cats I groom and brush daily as well as reinforce positive behavior through praise training.
“Ginni and Thomas did an excellent job with Django. They sent me updates while I was on a cruise and were very responsive. Would highly recommend to anyone needing a dog sitter that treats their pup like he's at home.”
“I can't say enough good things about Troy and Melanie. This was the first time in my 6 year old dog's life that I have left him anywhere. He has to eat a special diet. Troy and Melanie took great care of him and sent me pictures everyday. He got daily walks and lots of attention. Toby was a happy dog. I would recommend these folks to anyone needing dog care in the Orlando area.”

About: I’m a huge cat lover and regularly cat sit for friends whenever they’re away. I’m used to feeding, cleaning litter boxes, playing, and giving lots of cuddles and attention—when the cat wants them, of course! I also volunteer at a cattery, so I’m comfortable around cats with all kinds of personalities. I know how important it is for cats to feel safe and relaxed in their own space, and I’ll treat yours like they’re my own. I work from home so I can be flexible with timings. I am generally free in the mornings until early afternoon but generally flexible and can work around your needs. Your cat’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow instructions and respect your cat’s normal routine, feeding schedule and personality. I will make sure doors and windows are secure, food and water are fresh and litter kept clean.

She sent plenty of pictures too so we felt confident they were happy and in good hands. Would 100% recommend Rachel and will use her again without question!!”
“Danny was great! My kitty, Nala, recently started antibiotics and I found out the morning I left on a trip. Danny quickly responded to panicked messages trying to find help and even stopped by before I had to leave for the airport to meet Nala and go through the medication rundown. He took great care of her and it is never easy giving a cat a pill she absolutely does not want, BUT Danny was able to handle it with care and kept me updated!”
“Allena was the perfect fit for Jazz! She took such cute photos of him, I could tell he was relaxed and happy to hang out with her. Will definitely see if Allena is available next time I go out of town!”

Before the booking even started, she came over to our house for a meet-and-greet to get to know Phoebe and go over her routine, which immediately put our minds at ease. While we were away, she was extremely communicative and sent us daily updates along with great pictures. She even went above and beyond by watering our plant! We highly recommend Rafaela and will definitely be using her again in the future.”
About: I have two babies of my own. One is a long-haired Tuxedo and the other is an Orange Tabby menace. The tuxedo was a street cat that we adopted in 2021 who we think is about 8 years old, and we've had the Orange boy since he was 6 weeks old. I am very experienced in caring for kittens through adult cats as I have cared for many of my friends/acquaintances babies. I also feed the neighborhood strays. You can rest assured that I will treat your fur babies like my own. I am obsessed with cats <3

Perfect for high energy dogs - Lake Holden
“She was absolutely amazing with my dog and went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while we were away. She was so patient with all of his needs, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands. He didn’t even want to leave when we picked him up and came home happily exhausted—we’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“I’m so glad we founded Kristie, she took care of my two girls Nina and Emma for a whole day, she was messaging me, responding my texts and sending me pictures of them. They were really happy when we picked them up. Thank you Kristie for taking such good care of our girls ❤️”
“Maria was the absolute best!!! We had to make a last minute booking for 2 days of doggy daycare and Maria literally saved our trip. She was responsive, understanding, and so great with our Prince! He did not want to leave her when we went to pick him up the last time. Will definitely be rebooking. 100/10⭐️”
“Rachel was absolutely wonderful with Luna. I felt so good about leaving my deaf dog with her. She kept me updated throughout the day. I will definitely have Luna come back to see Rachel again!”
“Savannah was wonderful with Dilla. I was really nervous in the beginning because it was the first time I drop her with a sitter and I don’t was sure how she could react around other dogs. Savannah was amazing she kept me posted all day and my dog was for the first time easy in to other dogs. I can’t thank her enough. highly recommended”
“Veronica was super sweet, great communication and so accommodating. She took on a last minute booking. Veronica made Sadie a room to get acclimated with her environment, before she got acclimated with Veronica. She sent me updates w pictures. But most of all she provided safe environment w lots of love for Sadie.”
“Leda was wonderful with our pup, Luna. She let us know how she was doing throughout the day. Leda cared so much for Luna and we really appreciated her honesty when she notified us when she felt Luna was showing signs of missing us later in the day. I have to say, Luna is not used to being without us and it was the first time we had left her for so long, so it was somewhat expected that this would happen. Anyway, Leda’s honesty helped us feel good that we left her in good hands.”
“Naya has been great for Yuki. She definitely has a way with dogs. My dogs very guarded at first with any new person and Naya was very patient with her. Now my dog jumps out of the car and runs to her when she sees Naya. Your dogs would be in good hands with Naya!”
“I needed a last-minute sitter for an event I went to Orlando for and Yolimar was kind enough to accept my request. She was very sweet with our puppy and was sure to update me throughout the day. When I arrived for pick up they were snuggled up on the couch so I assume Poppy enjoyed herself lol. I would use Yolimar again!”
“Michelle was great with Salsa. Salsa warmed to her from the moment she got there and went with her willingly which is very hard. She sent me constant updates and pictures throughout the day. When I picked Salsa up she was happy and tired. The best combination.”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs of different ages and personalities. I currently have two spayed female cats, ages 5 and 10 both are good with other animals, and previously cared for our family Morkie for many years who has since passed. I’ve also helped care for my dad’s Golden Retriever with walks, feeding, playtime, and daily routines. Being around animals has always been a meaningful part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy creating a calm, safe environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. ✨ I work from home and have a flexible schedule through my small business, which makes it easy for me to provide attentive and reliable pet care throughout the day. 🐾 I focus on creating a calm, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel safe and relaxed. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any specific routines their pet is used to. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the space and the pet’s routine to help minimize stress while their owner is away. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured and connected throughout the stay. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I always approach them with patience, attention, and gentle care.

“LOOK NO FURTHER!!! Seriously, 10 stars! I do rover myself, and I’m very picky about who I entrust my fur angel, Gemma Pearl, to. I could not have made a better choice than Christy! My experience from start to finish was nothing short of stellar. She treated Gemma like her own, and went above and beyond every step of the way. Christy was also very dedicated to making sure Gemma’s “rules” from mama were adhered to. Christy is now definitely my go-to for who to trust with my furry family, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to everyone!! If you want true peace of mind and the absolute best care while you’re not home, Christy is 100% IT!!”
