“Samantha and her family gave my Riley lots of love and attention, even taking her to an event they went to!! She took her on walks and gave her lots of play time with another pup she watches during the week. I will definitely be booking again so Riley can get lots of loving when we go out of town!!”
“I’ve boarded Pablo twice here and it’s been a pleasant experience both times. Communication is great, she sends me pictures and videos of Pablo and she gave him a bath as well which I really appreciated.”
About: I’ve had pets as long as I can remember, and wouldn’t have it any other way. They are the charm of any home!! I would be honored to watch your pet. I currently work from home and have three dogs myself. All very loved and get along great with other animals, including cats!! I am home all day every day and the dogs thrive when we have a guest pet. My house is set up to where I can divide the animals and they’d still be comfortable. I also have a very large 2 acre lot that is completely fenced in.
“Sarah took such great care of my dog. I was bery nervous to leave her and sad the place my mom booked in St Augustine did not accept dogs. I think my dog had a great time and was loved with Sarah. I wish I lived nearby to use her more.”
“This was my first time using the app and I’m so pleased with how well it worked out. Hearher was super friendly and easy to reach out to. She sent me happy puppy pics every day and Monty had a blast with her and her family while I was out of town for the weekend. 10/10 recommend”
“Michelle was amazing with my dog Chewie. She took care of him as he was her own. We got lots of pictures and videos while staying at her home. I was on vacation, but Chewie, also, seemed to be on vacation. Chewie, always, looked happy, well cared for, roamed the yard,house as he does back home, and loved being part of the family. He made many fur friends while there too. It was great to see him play with other dogs his size. Thank you for all your love and attention, we truly appreciate all you did and do to keep our furry friends loved. Eileen, Bob and Chewie🐶”
“Oreo loves Christina. She is absolutely fantastic! She treated our dog, Oreo like family. He was so happy and well-cared for. Oreo is a picky eater but Christina is so patient to him and always makes sure that he will eat his food. We received daily photos and updates which gave us peace of mind while away. Highly recommend!!”
“Angel is a fantastic sitter for my fur baby. She understands his needs and makes sure that my pet is well cared for, comfortable and happy. She really enjoys being with him, taking him for many walks and providing the best care possible so that his visit is fun and healthy. She is the best pet sitter I have ever met and would not trust anyone else with my pet.”
“Roseanne is a great dog sitter! She is very pleasant and relaxed. Easy to communicate with and reliable. We are grateful she and her family could take our pup in for the weekend. He fit right in and had a great time!”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing with our senior dog, Charlee 🤍 Leaving an older dog can be stressful, but she made the entire experience feel so easy and reassuring. She was incredibly patient, gentle, and attentive to Charlee’s needs (medications), making sure she was comfortable, well cared for, and getting all the extra love senior pups deserve. We really appreciated the updates and knowing she was in such kind, capable hands. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. I would 100% trust Sarah again and highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you for taking such great care of our sweet girl 🐾”
“We had been leaving our dog at Pet Paradise, but feel like he wasn’t getting the attention he needed. After our first meeting with Nycole we felt very comfortable leaving him with her. She sent several pictures and messages while he was staying with her. We felt as though she really did her best to make him feel loved and cared for. When we picked him up he was not overly excited to see us, which we consider a good thing! We are so happy to have found a safe place for our baby. We highly recommend Nycole.”
“Rebecca and Michael were amazing! I had no worries while my fur baby was staying with them. They sent me lots of pictures of their activities and always made me feel at ease. Would highly recommend them!”
“Natalie is amazing! Not only did she pick up and drop off Kai which was so helpful, she took such good care of her. She sent pictures and updates and I knew our dog was in great hands!!”
“Dani is fantastic. Blueberry loves staying at her home, and I feel like she is treated like her child, which makes this mother happy :) I will definitely be bringing my puppers to Dani again and again!”
“My Ziggi loves Leanna! It’s always a great feeling when your pet runs toward his sitter and is happy to see her/him.. She’s always attentive and gives him a lot of attention which he loves.We always have peace of mind when we leave ZIg with Leanna!”
“We could not be happier with Marie's extremely high level of care and compassion. We booked our elderly little dog Sadie with Marie for the two and a half weeks we were to be away and after we met for a meet and greet we knew Sadie would be in excellent hands. During the stay, Marie regularly sent us messages and photos, and it was clear that Sadie was happy and having fun with Marie's own two small dogs. Sadie quickly became a part of the family and Marie and her husband loved her as their own. We would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Marie, and we would use her services again without hesitation.”

“Kylie was super easy to work with and did a great job of feeding our kitties while we were out of town. The photo updates gave us peace of mind. She even went the extra mile and provided photos of her playing with them! Would definitely use her again.”
About: Very patient and attentive with all my fur babies. Anyone who has ever owned a pet knows how much of a labor of love is required to be a pet parent. I’m always open to providing as much needed walks and belly rubs as possible so that your fur baby gets all the necessary attention. I have plenty of time to help with pet care. I try to make my schedule as flexible as possible, more or less depending on the pet owner needs. I usually make sure the environment is pet friendly and hide all small items that any pet could accidentally ingest, make sure that all of their toys are near, and medications that they need are nearby also. Sure that they have plenty of water and food for their liking or dependent on the specifications of the owner based up their pets needs. And try to make sure that they have something that smells like their owner near so they aren’t weary of their absence.
“Marie is fantastic!! I was nervous about leaving my dogs in the care of somebody I didn't know but she made this the best experience! All of my animals loved her and it was so nice having peace of mind that they were well cared for while I was gone. 100000% will use Marie again!!”

“Amber was so fantastic. My cat has feline idiopathic cystitis and is prone to blockages due to stress and separation anxiety so it was very important to have a caring pet sitter to spend time with him and give him his medication while I was out of town. Amber was so great about keeping me updated with his litter and letting me know everyday if he had peed. It eased so much of my anxiety and I know my cats too. She also sent lots of pictures of my sweet boy while I was gone looking happy and healthy. Will definitely be booking her again next time I go out of town.”

About: Hi Everyone, My name is Penny and thank you for considering me as your Pet Caregiver. I have had pets (mostly dogs) in my life since a very young child. The unconditional love they provide always makes my heart smile and I will always care for your fur babies as if they are my own :) I have spent the last 20 years caring for my own 4 very special dogs and unfortunately it came time for them to cross the rainbow bridge due to age. I miss caring for them and would love to now spend my time assisting you in caring for your Fur Baby.

I will follow all of your instructions and give them all the love they need while you are away.

About: For my entire life my family has owned pets of all kinds, and I have several years of experience pet sitting for friends and family. I am a full time stay-at-home mom with the knowledge and confidence to fulfill all of your pets needs! Our family pet is a golden doodle. She is super sweet and has never had a conflict with another animal. If you have a hyper pup, she would love the company! Alternatively, if you have an older pup, she will respect their boundaries. I have cared for several older dogs, including those in need of daily shots or hourly bathroom breaks over night. I am no stranger to waking up at all hours of the night to meet the needs of your pet. I do have an infant in the house, so pets must not be aggressive, and pets will not be allowed in the bedroom or on the furniture. I am a full time stay-at-home mom to the sweetest baby girl. She is still young, so we rarely leave the house. We live close to a beautiful park and will be happy to enjoy the walk with your pets as frequently as requested. I have a fenced in yard, a beautiful park to which we can walk, and I can offer food/medicine/water on the schedule which your pet requires. If food aggression is a concern, I have a room dedicated to our dog which can be used to isolate her from your pet during feedings.
About: It’s been called ‘Dog camp!’ Longtime family pet owner, multi-dog owner and trained for elder rescue dog care to recovery and puppy-care. The forest preserve is mostly fenced.

We do these long trail pack walks morning and evening, going out several times during the day, followed by TREATS for potties with good behaviors reinforced. Come play with us including the doggie pool parties! We (Dogs and I) work from home. Morning, afternoon and evening walks around the property are very common, of course with treats!

Feedings are usually 2x a day morning and evening with treats in-between after all have gone out several times, and right before bed. Water is in each room. Toys are around and chuck-its with balls outside. When it’s really hot the puppy pool comes out. The playtime of yard and paths with walks to rest time is common.

“Our miniature poodle Leo enjoyed his time with Mariana having plenty of space to play and attention to his playtime needs. Leo especially enjoyed the extra cuddles! We would definitely bring him back again.”
About: I've had dogs from big to small, while growing up and as an adult, purebred as well as rescues. I don't have children, other pets or wall to wall carpeting. Your dog can loaf on my daybed and look at Crescent Lake, and there's a park right next door with a dog run. I'm also always happy to drive over oceanside. I've cared for senior dogs until the end. I love dogs and have a Pomweenie back in Michigan with my brother. I've had a fox terrier, 2 Maltese and a Golden. I'm a transplant with plenty of time, and I love in a beautiful country senior mobile home park on Crescent Lake. I love driving to the coast and meeting new people and dogs. I work part time from my laptop and I'm available all the time. I live alone on a lake, and it's dog heaven here. Also happy to go to your house. I live alone and have a very flexible schedule. I have plenty of energy and time to hang out with your dog and show them a good time. I need company,I love dogs, and they love me.
“Words can not express how grateful I am for finding Angel! I was so nervous to use this app because I have never done it before. However, I just got a 10-week-old puppy and he has been having separation anxiety so I need someone to watch him when I am at work. Not only was the meet and greet AMAZING but on Cooper's first day Angel had him SLEEPING in his crate for hours! He won't even stay in the crate 5 minutes with me, I literally cried tears of joy from all the progress pictures throughout the day. I am so excited to have Angel and her family in Cooper's life because we WILL BE a repeat customer for months to come. Seriously from the bottom of my heart THANK YOU Angel and your wonderful family. And to anyone reading this- if you need a dog sitter do NOT HESITATE to call Angel - she really will be the Angel that you need for your dog! A million stars ******************************”
About: What sets me apart is consistency, structure, and attention to detail. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable, hands-on care throughout the day—not just quick drop-ins. I’m especially strong at maintaining routines, which helps pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and small changes so I can adjust care in real time. I’m experienced with: • Puppies and reinforcing basic routines (potty schedules, crate familiarity, structured play) • Adult dogs with regular exercise and enrichment needs • Senior pets who require a slower pace, patience, and closer monitoring • Multi-pet households with different needs and personalities Clear communication is a big priority for me—I provide regular updates and photos so owners always feel confident their pet is in good hands. I work from home and manage a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. I structure my routine to accommodate pet needs first—whether that means morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening care. I am available for weekday and weekend bookings, including repeat schedules. Because I’m not tied to a traditional 9–5 outside the home, I can maintain reliable routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, routines, and any specific needs before care begins. In my home: • Pets are supervised and kept in a calm, clean environment • I maintain a structured routine to reduce stress and keep pets comfortable • I avoid overcrowding to ensure each pet gets proper attention In clients’ homes: • I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, medication, and routines • I respect your home and keep everything clean and secure • I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing I’m attentive to behavior, energy levels, and any signs of discomfort so I can respond quickly if anything seems off.
“I cannot express in words properly how absolutely wonderful Natalie was with our big goofy hound. Natalie put all of our anxieties at ease with her gentle nature and patience. Our pup seemed to look forward to his second day with her and had zero separation anxiety!!! Thank you Natalie for taking such great care of our fur baby!!!!!!!!”
“I couldn't be more pleased with Katherine she went above and beyond my expectations she sent photos and videos of my dog having the time of his life I would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone who wants a loving and kind dog sitter she was awesome in every way possible”
“Leanna was amazing with my babies. They have never had a babysitter and were both very happy and comfortable in her home. She sent me updates while we were away. Myself and my weens are very satisfied.”
About: Care for 30-60 pounds doggies. At this time I am only able to accept doodles due to my work. I work with food, bake all kinds of pastries and breads. Only non shedding pups at this time as I cannot have any hair around my kitchen. I am home most of the time so potty breaks can be as often as needed. My pets are my children. When asked how many kids do I have I say 4. Two human babies and 2 animal babies. My pups are very gentle with my children and I would like to continue with such puppies/ guests. I have been around dogs all of my life. Grew up in Poland with family who had farms and all kinds of animals. Dogs were always around. Playing with them was part of growing up and having fun. Now I have 2 sheepadoodles (Lilly and Bella) who are wonderful companions. They are big, furry, loving addition to my family. Cannot imagine living without them. My 4 legged babies can get me smiling on a bad day. I care about them as much I as do about my human children. They absolutely love humans, and get along with other dogs.. I am home almost all the time so your dogs will not feel lonely. Also doggies are allowed to run freely , there are no cages. Our yard is fenced and pretty big with toys to play with. I would like to take dogs between 30-60 pounds. just because mine are 50 and 70 pounds and by my experience they do play better. I take only 1 guest pup at the time so the experience is more personal. Also that helps me to keep all of them safe .... there are 4 cameras in our house so I can have an eye on my furry babies even when I am grocery shopping or running errands. Safety and love is what I like to share. I had taken a break from Bording due to personal issues. When pregnant with second child someone smashed into my car. Don’t remember anything. Woke up in a hospital couple of days later. High risk pregnancy. My daughter is 6 now and I decided to resume taking a doggie companion. It is very important I only have gentle dogs guests. Especially Gentle with children around. Thank you for understanding. I am stay home mom. If I go out it won’t be longer than 2-3 hours most of the Time. I have been stay home mom for 9 years now. I have a fenced yard and 2 doggies to keep your pup company. If I step out it is for couple of hours only. I have 4 cameras in my home to check on them as often as I want to.

It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my dog is in such good hands. You can really tell she loves what she does! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog walker. ♡”
About: Very patient and attentive with all my fur babies. Anyone who has ever owned a pet knows how much of a labor of love is required to be a pet parent. I’m always open to providing as much needed walks and belly rubs as possible so that your fur baby gets all the necessary attention. I have plenty of time to help with pet care. I try to make my schedule as flexible as possible, more or less depending on the pet owner needs. I usually make sure the environment is pet friendly and hide all small items that any pet could accidentally ingest, make sure that all of their toys are near, and medications that they need are nearby also. Sure that they have plenty of water and food for their liking or dependent on the specifications of the owner based up their pets needs. And try to make sure that they have something that smells like their owner near so they aren’t weary of their absence.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I worked as a veterinary technician in high school for 2 years, gaining hands-on experience with pets of all sizes—from tiny kittens to large-breed dogs, and even exotic pets. I’ve personally cared for reptiles, senior pets, and energetic puppies, so I’m confident handling all ages and temperaments. Whether your pet needs meds, extra patience, or just tons of love—I’m here for it! What sets me apart is my vet tech background and my calm, confident approach with all kinds of animals. I’m not just here to “watch” your pet—I truly care about their comfort and happiness. I understand body language, medical needs, and how to keep pets safe and stress-free. You can relax knowing your fur (or scale!) baby is in experienced and loving hands. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! I’m a nursing student and currently work PRN as an EMT after working full-time in EMS since 2021. My schedule is flexible, especially during weekdays and weekends, and I’m great at time management. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I love having pet visits or walks as part of my day—it’s a welcome break from the chaos of EMS life! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. With my background as an EMT and former vet tech, I’m calm in emergencies, attentive to detail, and confident in administering medications or handling special needs. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I stick closely to their routine and make sure they feel secure and loved. I respect your space, keep things clean, and provide regular updates so you always know your pet is happy and safe. You can trust that they’ll be treated like family.
About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring pet lover who treats every pet like family. I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities, and I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, even over nights all while giving lots of love while you’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’d love to meet your furry friend! I currently work from home so it’s easier for me to naturally fit pet care into my daily routine. I plan my schedule so I can give pets the attention they deserve—whether that’s morning and evening walks, feeding times, playtime, or just keeping them company. I’m used to building my day around making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for, and I’m happy to adjust my routine to meet each pet’s individual needs. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow the pet’s usual schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest, and make sure they get plenty of attention and affection. I keep a clean, safe environment and always watch for any changes in behavior or needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I also respect their space and follow any specific instructions they provide so their pet feels secure in their familiar environment.
About: Growing up my family always had cats and dogs, so I’ve been around them my whole life. Pets bring so much love and fun into your life, they are a part of the family and they are so important. I will care for your pet like they are my own. I have a 5 year old poodle named Lola who I love with my whole heart. My qualifications- I’ve taken care of older cats for a neighbor, I’ve housesat for friends and family who have pets, and I volunteered at an animal shelter for over a year, where I would clean kennels, take dogs on walks, play with cats, and organize and paint the shelter. Thank you for considering me as your pet-sitter! ❤️ I have flexible hours, because I work as a door dasher, but pet-sitting/walking is my preferred job, so I can be available whenever I am needed. In my home, my dog Lola has access to food and water 24/7, and I take her outside every 4 hours or so during the day. She lets me know when she needs to go outside. In your home, I can provide any feeding/walking schedule that your pet is used to. I’m very easy-going and adaptable to anything.
About: Growing up we had 17 golden retrievers. 14 of them were puppies. I now have two of my own and love to be around them. My family has been involved in training.

About: I've just recently moved to Pomona Park with my 10 year old female boxer. I know how to take care of high energy dogs. I'm looking forward to meeting You and your dog. I'm currently retired and am looking forward to getting out and doing lots of walks. No dog is too big or too small. Let's go for a walk! I come by and take your dog/dogs for a walk. When we get back, I'll make sure they have food and water before I leave.
About: Hi, My name is Maarten and twenty-nine years ago, I applied for an internship at Artis, a zoo in Amsterdam. As luck would have it, I didn't get the job and life took me in a different direction. Now I am 45 years old and fate has finally delivered me to a spot where I can get back to my childhood dream of working with animals. I grew up in a household filled with animals: dogs, cats, guinea pigs, fish, rats and parrots. This nurtured a wide knowledge of animal care. Over the years, we've had 9 dogs, all of which I trained myself. At the moment, I am raising a 1.5 year old German Shepherd and a 6 month old BullMastiff mix. I want to say that over the years, dogs have grown especially close to my heart. To be honest, they have completely taken over. At the moment, I work part-time as a kennel attendant for S.A.F.E. Pet Rescue. Although I consider it a dream job, my long-term goal is to open up my own doggy daycare. Approach to Dog Walking: I believe that every dog is unique and deserves the utmost care and respect. I approach dog walking with a big smile and a warm heart. My goal is to create a fun and lively experience for your dog, making each walk a joyful adventure. During our walks, I'll ensure your furry friend's safety and well-being, while also encouraging positive behavior. Wednesday and Thursday I work for S.A.F.E. Animal Shelter. The rest of the week I am available between 08:00 and 15:30. Evening visits can be planned by special request. The safety of your pets and property are my main focus. Before you take me on as your pet profesional we will go over your dog's/cat's strengths and weaknesses to ensure a healthy happy and safe experience.

About: I have many years experience with dogs. I currently have a German Shepard pup who is like one of our children. I believe in healthy, homemade treats and lots of exercise! Walks are a favorite of ours as well as homemade ice cream treats in warmer months. In cooler months, we have a heated garage to play in and still do walks, just shorter. I have 2 small children who love animals and are respectful. I am a big fan that animals should be treated with love and respect. I look forward to caring for your animals and making them apart of our family! Just like people, animals need companionship. We will always strive to do our best to make your family to feel safe and comfortable at all times. I work overnights and from home so there will be lots of time for play and love in our daily routine. Walks are always fun and needed, so I plan on at least 2 a day depending on the age of dog. I do not have a fenced in yard but have walking leashes where they can safely roam our back yard. We love walks and use harnesses for safety. I also have a large crate if needed while your pup visits.

“Samantha and her family gave my Riley lots of love and attention, even taking her to an event they went to!!

“Sarah took such great care of my dog. I was bery nervous to leave her and sad the place my mom booked in St Augustine did not accept dogs. I think my dog had a great time and was loved with Sarah. I wish I lived nearby to use her more.”
“This was my first time using the app and I’m so pleased with how well it worked out. Hearher was super friendly and easy to reach out to. She sent me happy puppy pics every day and Monty had a blast with her and her family while I was out of town for the weekend. 10/10 recommend”
“Roseanne is a great dog sitter! She is very pleasant and relaxed. Easy to communicate with and reliable. We are grateful she and her family could take our pup in for the weekend. He fit right in and had a great time!”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing with our senior dog, Charlee 🤍 Leaving an older dog can be stressful, but she made the entire experience feel so easy and reassuring. She was incredibly patient, gentle, and attentive to Charlee’s needs (medications), making sure she was comfortable, well cared for, and getting all the extra love senior pups deserve. We really appreciated the updates and knowing she was in such kind, capable hands. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. I would 100% trust Sarah again and highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you for taking such great care of our sweet girl 🐾”
“Natalie is amazing! Not only did she pick up and drop off Kai which was so helpful, she took such good care of her. She sent pictures and updates and I knew our dog was in great hands!!”
“Dani is fantastic. Blueberry loves staying at her home, and I feel like she is treated like her child, which makes this mother happy :) I will definitely be bringing my puppers to Dani again and again!”
“Amelia and her family were super nice. We had an issue and needed a sitter last minute. Amelia was able to take our fur kid right away and sent us pictures and updates at all times. I definitely recommend her if you are in the St Augustine area.”
“Tracy is a wonderful caretaker. This was Rosie’s first time with her. Tracy really focused on my dog, and spent time with her to make sure was happy and having fun. She left me a lot of updates to reassure me throughout the day. I know my dog was well taken care of and had fun at her home.”
“Lauren was absolutely fantastic with our two Golden's. With the booking itself, she was quick to respond on relatively short notice, and we were constantly updated with pictures and videos of how our babies were acclimating. My wife and I cannot say enough great things about how well they were taken care of. We will not hesitate to rebook with Lauren before our next trip. Bobby and Tracy”

“Kelly and her family approached the boarding of my furbaby with the utmost professionalism and highest levels of care. I received daily photos and videos along with written communications regarding how the day went, and the fun they were able to get up to. Otter’s mischievous side even came out when he hijacked a food bowl that didn’t belong to him. Kelly, James and their family took excellent care of my pup, and made sure to include lots of play time and walks throughout the days he stayed with them. I absolutely recommend them for your fur- babies!”
“Madison and her mom were lovely. They have a convenient location, attention to safe and clean yard and a welcome home environment. We received daily updates, and when we picked them up they were all ready to go, which was great because I had been driving a long trip. The dogs seemed happy and worn out! I’d book again for sure!”
“She sent videos of the dogs getting along with her dog several times. I was very nervous because my doodles are rescues. Lucia likes other dogs. Rosie not so much. My dogs are rescues that were bred. They tend to reject males at a point which stops their use to breed. Stephanie knew this and eased my mind. My dogs love her and her family. It was a perfect fit!”
“Nicole and her family were so wonderful to our fur baby! Susie bonded with them and was so attached! It was amazing to see when I picked her up! Ms. Nicole sent pictures and videos everyday so we could see the fun! Will definitely be booking with her again!”
