“We can’t recommend Cristina enough! She’s watched our Aussie, Logan, a few times now and has gone above and beyond every single time. From long walks and runs to sending us constant photo updates, she truly treats him like her own. Logan is a high-energy working breed, and Cristina knows exactly how to keep him happy and mentally stimulated — we can always tell how content he is when we get back home. She’s also incredibly responsible with our home, always leaving it spotless and even taking small thoughtful steps like bringing in our garbage cans. Her communication is amazing, she checks in often and keeps us updated with fun photos and videos (Logan’s chaotic, happy expressions are now a running joke between us 😆). We feel completely at ease knowing he’s in her care, and Logan absolutely adores her and her Aussie, Lorde. If you’re looking for someone dependable, kind, and genuinely great with dogs, Cristina is the one.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Southern Oaks
“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.”
“Omg Rachel is the best!!! She always takes such good care of our little Micah!!! Takes him for walks and gives him lots of love and attention just the way he likes it. Thank you so much for taking such good care of him while daddy and daddy are at work”

“Very nice family, our pup was asleep shortly after getting picked up, he was worn out from play time with the other dogs. We were happy to have a place to take care of our Mini Schnauzer on a holiday, Thanksgiving Day, while we had to be away from home all day and unable to take him with us.”
“Mayara was awesome! She was knowledgeable, chill, and very confident. Our babies were loved while we spent the day at Typhoon Lagoon prior to checking into our resort. We will absolutely use her services again when in Orlando area with our fur babies. Oh and her location is perfect for either Disney or Universal!”
“Cristal was so amazing. She took care of my standard poodle, Wiles. She let him play in their big backyard. She sent updated videos and pictures. I came from out of town to visit family and wanted to have a place for him to stay all day. She took such good care of Wiles that I did not worry at all while I was with my family all day. Wiles had the best time and kept giving her hugs when he had to leave. I would highly recommend Cristal to keep your dog. I give her five stars. She was fantastic and now when I come to visit my family, I will have her keep Wiles again.”

“She took such great care of my puppy, Luna. From the moment we arrived she made Luna feel comfortable and welcomed, which meant a lot to me. Luna even got to make a new friend with her dog Tiger! She sent photos and updates throughout the day, which really helped put my mind at ease. I knew my dog was safe, cozy, and well cared for. I would absolutely trust her to watch her again!”
“Thank you for taking such good care of Coco! We appreciate you for always being so kind and flexible. We know she loves going to your house because she runs out of the car to your front door - she can't wait to stay with you!”
“This is my first time using rover and I’m so glad I booked with Maria. She sent pictures and was even able to accommodate an early pick up! I would 100% book with her for your doggy needs”
“Maria saved the day! We were in town for graduation and our dog was whining when we left him at daughter’s new apartment. Maria was available immediately and she was so sweet, had a great house, yard, and son to help our dog feel better about staying in a new place. She also sent lots of pics and kept in touch so we wouldn’t have to worry.??”
“This is the second time Willow has been to Rebecca‘s house and you might think they’ve been best buds forever! Today had a bonus…she got to play with Rebecca‘s daughters! Rebecca is definitely a keeper when it comes to taking care of my girl. I’m very grateful to have found her 😊”

About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and have had dogs of my own for as long as I can remember! I’ve been dog sitting for family and friends throughout my life, caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I also worked at a dog/cat boarding facility while I was in school & loved it! I genuinely love getting to know each pet and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. 🐾 I’m also a huge cat lover! I have two cats of my own and regularly cat sit for friends, so I’m comfortable caring for cats and understanding their different personalities and needs as well. Whether your pet needs a walk, feeding, playtime, cuddles, or simply some company while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I would give my own. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable trusting someone with your pets and in your home, and I’ll always do my best to give you peace of mind and keep you updated while you’re away. ❤️🐶🐱 I am a ICU nurse at Orlando Health & I decided to switch to pediatrics at Arnold Palmer Hospital starting this fall. My position doesn’t start until beginning of October so I am completely free until then! I can help take care of your fur babies any day/time of the week, I don’t have any restrictions for the months of August and September. I provide the same loving, attentive care to every pet that I give my own two kitties, who mean the absolute world to me. 🐱💕 I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your fur baby in someone else’s care, so when I visit your home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. I’m attentive to their routines, feeding schedules, medications if needed, playtime, and individual personalities, while also keeping their space clean and giving them plenty of affection and companionship. My goal is always for you to feel completely at ease knowing your pet is being cared for with genuine love and attention while you’re away. 🐾

As a cardiac sonography student, I have a flexible schedule and dedicate all the time I’m not in class to caring for pets.

“Maestro and Maggie Mae really enjoyed their time with Samantha. Of course, the first couple of walks they were a bit anxious with a new human, but by the third walk they were both waiting by the front door for her arrival. Samantha is a sweet young woman, who really seems to love her gig as a walker. We heartily recommend her, and most importantly, will reach out again for her services when required. Thanks Samantha”
“I found Erika when I needed a s walker in a pinch and she was so flexible and kind to my dog. My dog can be shy and she was so patient with Josie. Erika has not only years of experience but a heart for dogs. If you want a responsible, trustworthy sitter I recommend this outstanding sitter. I would not hesitate to call on her again.”
