“Just wonderful! Ivy will literally play fetch until she croaks and unfortunately some people find it annoying when she keeps tossing her toys at them, but Stephanie said her kids absolutely loved playing fetch with her 🩷 when I picked her up, she fell asleep in the car on our 15 minute drive home which means she got all of her energy out which I’m thankful for! Will schedule again in the future 🥰”

About: With 18 years of dedicated experience caring for small‑breed dogs, I bring reliability, structure, and a deep understanding of canine behavior to every booking. I specialize in creating calm, consistent routines tailored to each dog’s personality and needs. Safety, communication, and trust are my top priorities. You can expect timely updates, photos, and attentive care every step of the way. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I only board on my work‑from‑home days, ensuring full attention and a calm environment. My poodle enjoys daily walks, car rides, beach or park trips, and fun enrichment like ball‑launcher play, mini‑pool time, and occasional pup cups — and visiting pups simply join our routine. My poodle has full access to the entire home because he’s well trained and well behaved, and visiting pups enjoy the same freedom with attentive supervision. Crating is always based on the pet parent’s preference. Our routine includes morning and evening walks through the community, with a relaxing mid‑afternoon walk by the pond. We also enjoy time in the screened‑in lanai, giving pups a safe way to enjoy fresh air and sunshine.
“Cristina was very accommodating of my dog Pogo for a last-minute daycare reservation. She sent lots of pictures that gave me a comfortable feeling. He had some needs and restrictions that she clearly followed which I appreciated very much. She is a very considerate sitter and understands the importance of what she's doing.”
About: Hi there! Matthew and Sophia here, we are a young married couple with no kids so we treat every dog like a part of our little family! We both are fairly active and involved so we enjoy adding new pets to our day to day! **Please note that Sophia handles all the bookings and app stuff, when you reach out to us, Sophia will be the one replying, ALWAYS!! We both have had many years of experience taking care of not only dogs and cats but livestock as well. You will be kept up to date on EVERYTHING as we love to communicate and send lots and lots of photos! I (Sophia) am currently working from home so it allows me to be with my own pet and the pet I am watching all day long. I can be available to keep and eye on pets and make sure all needs are met. I have a fenced in yard, a male dog that loves other dogs, he’s really well socialized. Also previously worked as a vet tech so I have experience in taking care of more medication dependent animals.
“I had a great experience with Rebecca. She was very thorough in explaining her process and showing me exactly where my dog would be kept. You could immediately tell she truly cares about dogs and is a genuine dog lover. I felt completely safe and comfortable leaving my dog in her care. Highly recommend!”
About: I have a friendly dog that always wants a new friend. I have plenty of time to be able to spend time with your fur baby to ensure they feel welcomed and at home. **hablo español tambien** I currently work from home. I can be here for your fur baby all day and night the same way that I already am for my fur child. Your dog’s well-being is my #1 priority. I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where your pup can feel secure and cared for—whether it’s for a short visit or an extended stay. Safety First: I carefully follow all instructions you provide regarding feeding, medications, leash use, crate routines, and more. I only use your leashes or secure, well-maintained leashes, harnesses, and gates to ensure your dog stays safe at all times—indoors and outdoors. I supervise all playtime (especially with toys or other dogs) to prevent any accidents or overstimulation. Trust & Communication: I treat your pet like one of my own—with patience, kindness, and respect. I'm reliable, punctual, and committed to maintaining your dog's regular routine as closely as possible to reduce stress. A Calm, Clean & Comfortable Space: Whether I’m staying in your home or welcoming your dog into mine, I create a peaceful environment with cozy resting areas, fresh water, and a consistent routine. I take cleanliness seriously and always make sure the space is tidy, sanitized, and safe for all pets. Your dog will have plenty of love, attention, and the space to relax, play, and just be themselves. Let me take care of your dog with the same love and attention you would give them yourself—so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“Matt did a great job with my pup for day care! I love that he provided updates with pictures/videos. He also responded very quickly to messages which was super appreciated.”

“Julie has been an exceptional sitter for my dog, Kingston. My schedule can be unpredictable, and trips often come up at inconvenient times, but Julie has always been flexible and accommodating to make everything work seamlessly. She took the time to come over, carefully review all of Kingston’s care instructions, and followed them perfectly without any issues. I had complete confidence knowing Kingston was in great hands, from his daily walks to administering his medication. Julie provides outstanding communication, professionalism, and genuine care for pets. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter.”
“I went out of town for work and contacted Nicole the day before. She was extremely friendly and flexible with her time. She met myself and Denver prior to my trip to introduce herself and meet the pup! Excellent service. I greatly appreciate her time and service while I was away. Thank you, Nicole!”
“Stacey was absolutely wonderful with my two labs, Hazel and Rosie! She took great care of them, made sure they got outside time, checked their water, played with them, and kept me updated with the sweetest note afterward. It was clear she paid attention to their individual personalities and treated them like her own. The detailed update gave me so much peace of mind while I was away, and I loved hearing about their day from “their perspective.” I would happily trust Stacey with my dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter or dog walker! 🐾 Hazel and Rosie give her two paws up!”
“Sherri did a terrific job dog sitting my miniature dachshund. I had Sherri come by to take my dog out for potty and she even took out our other dog too! She was very communicative and took plenty of pictures during her visits. I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!”
“Hands down the BEST sitter for my fur baby. Yvonne communicates quickly. She is thoughtful and has even brought in my unexpected packages while I was away. She has even mopped my floor when my dog left mud marks. She is a gem!”
“Sarah was wonderful walking my two ladies while I was out of town! Receiving photos and updates and communication from her put my mind at ease. I feel confident in using her services again!”
“Leroy and Reina are absolutely amazing! They were so gentle and loving with my fur baby, they even bathed her while we were away. My Noel absolutely loves them, she made new best friends! I would absolutely recommend them to anyone - I will be booking them over and over again!”
“Iliana has walked Honey multiple times. She’s wonderful with her. She is overly communicative, trustworthy, sweet to Honey, and always willing to help with whatever. I couldn’t recommend her more!”
About: I have taken care of a variety of animals, featuring fish, cats, and a few different breeds of dogs. I love being active so if you need your dog walked I gotchu. If your pet just needs a bit of loving, I got more than enough love to give to your precious babies. In my life I’ve owned fish, a cat, and currently the cutest white German Shepard. I am more than willing to adapt to whatever special needs your pet has, even as far as spoon feeding them. (Hasn’t happened yet but who knows!) I’ve done pet sitting for multiple neighbors and relatives: fish, frogs, cats (both kittens and a senior), and even a few different breeds of dogs (primarily a golden Labrador). I am happy to be at your service and to get to know your precious beans. I am an artist and need some work on the side of that to get by. Since I have such flexibility, I should be able to show up any time as long as I’m not asleep! I cannot accept pets into my own home as I currently own a dog and don’t want mine or your pet(s) to get stressed by strange animals; however, as far as caring for pets in other people’s homes, I am willing to make as many visits as is necessary. I can also take your pet on walks, clean up if there happens to be a mess (ie: hairball), change litter, clean up dog poop, and more! As of now I don’t offer overnight stays.
“Raegan did an amazing job caring for my 2 large doodles which was booked somewhat last minute. She followed all instructions and I felt safe and comfortable entrusting her with my dogs!”
“Parker was so wonderful and really helped out in a pinch. She came through when our other walker fell through and ended up being so much better. She is sweet and thoughtful and so responsible with our boy. Will definitely seek her services again and would highly recommend her for any kind of pet care you need.”
About: Hi, I’m Kali I am 18 years old and I have 10+ years of experience caring for animals from cats and dogs to birds, reptiles and hamsters! I treat every pet like a member of my own family, whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cozy cuddles, or just a calm presence while you’re away, I’ve got you covered. I’m dependable flexible and truly passionate about animals of all kinds. your pets comfort and happiness are my top priority. My family and I also foster for a local kitten rescue so I have recent experience in medical care, special needs and early development in various ages of cats. I am flexible with scheduling and happy to put your mind at ease when you are away by providing updates. I am looking forward to meeting your fur family! I care for my own animals on a daily basis and arrange my schedule accordingly, I would do the same for your pets as well. I am happy to host your fur babies in my own home or I would be available to care for them in their own home environment.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a little girl, and we got our first cat just a few years ago but they’ve seem to have fallen in love with me lol. My main concern is making sure your pet is happy and comfortable, doesn’t matter the situation. I’m very gentle with them and I always make sure to communicate or ask when necessary, I don’t want to assume and be wrong or not inform you if something happens. I am in college, I have classes 3 days a week, so I’m home quite a bit. I do not currently work so I’m typically free the remaining days. I volunteer/workout in my free time so I can be flexible! Just ask if a day/time works, I’ll do my best to accommodate! I’m in an apartment so I don’t have a lot of space inside. The complex does have a little fenced in dog area, and there are some dog parks in the area that I would be willing to go to if you have a more active pet. I don’t have anything toxic in the apartment, or in a place they could reach at least (medicines/rubbing alcohol, that sort of stuff). I also like going on longer walks, 20-30 min if the weather is nice.
About: Coming from a family that loves animals, I’ve always been around and taken care of pets. My experience has been walking/petsitting for family and friends, mostly dogs but occasionally cats. I have experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes, and I have a very flexible work schedule. I am currently a student in flight school, which only requires short daily in-person commitment, so I am very flexible with timing. Most of my studying is done online so I am able to care for your pet at any time it is convenient for you. I am unable to provide care in my own apartment due to its size, but I am very clean and respectful of clients homes when visiting for care. I am a great communicator and will respond quickly as well as follow any requests or instructions you make.
About: Hi! My name is Isabel and I truly love animals. I have several years of experience caring for pets for friends and family and I treat every dog like part of my own family. I provide a safe, calm and loving environment where your pet will feel comfortable and cared for. I enjoy walking, playing and giving dogs the attention they deserve. I always send photos and updates so you can feel relaxed while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, happiness and comfort are always my priority. During the week I am available in the mornings and early afternoons (8 AM – 4:30 PM). I attend classes from 5:30 PM to 8:15 PM, but I am available again in the evenings after that if needed. On weekends I have more flexibility and can work mornings or afternoons. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. When I stay in a pet owner’s home, I follow their routines and instructions carefully to keep their pets relaxed and happy. I treat every pet with patience, love, and respect, just like they were my own.
About: I have had dogs of my own since I was 12. In their older years, I had experience giving them their medications and taking gentle care of them on walks and at home. I’ve walked dogs for neighbors and friends and will treat your pets as my own! During the year I teach middle school music, but I’m completely free for the summer! I have plenty of time to look after your pets. I can administer medications, go on walks, give baths, and take great care of your pets. I’ll make sure to spend the time they need with them to keep them happy.
