With other sitters, the drive home he has been anxious with heavy panting. Thank you Sarah for your comforting care!”

They were snuggling,playing,and having fun on walks and out in the yard. I can now go out of town with the piece of mind that they are going to be well taken care of. The puppies cant wait for their next visit! Thank you Deborah,Gary and Clouso <3”
“Margarita is a great dog sitter! She kept me updated with pictures and videos, she played with my dog and took her for long walks. My dog came back super happy and I can tell she felt right at home because Margarita would send me pictures and videos my dog eating all of her food which she normally doesn’t do unless I’m with her. I will 1000% recommend her and I will be booking her again in the future. Thank you for everything!”

About: I ran a pet nutritional building for two years, I also was in charge of feline foster care, as well as walking dogs in our neighborhood in Pennsylvania.

Whatever is most convenient for your needs. I do not normally do in-home pet care, I will sit during the day, but I will not do overnights in house unless special request. I will do walks, and drop in visits make sure your baby gets lots of energy burnt out.
About: My family are very much dog enthusiast though I've been more drawn to cats ever seen I had my first cat at 9 years old. I own five cats at the moment though one of them acts like a caine. My cats are friendly and mind their business when I overnight board other animals. Cleaning after cats do not bother me. I daily change 6 cat litter boxes. I love to play with cats or give them their space as needed. When I'm left clear instructions the job is done efficiently every time.

About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience in animal care, I am dedicated to providing exceptional, knowledgeable, and compassionate care for your pets while you're away. My background spans nearly every aspect of the animal industry, beginning at my family's dog grooming salon, which has proudly served the community for over 30 years. Throughout my career, I have held positions including Regional Manager of Vetco (Petco's veterinary service) for North Florida, Supervisor at Pet Paradise Resort, Large Animal Veterinary Technician, Small Animal Veterinary Assistant, and Veterinary Receptionist. I have also cared for livestock and exotics while working at an equine boarding facility responsible for over 20 horses, as well as goats, pigs, and other farm animals. My experience extends far beyond dogs and cats, allowing me to confidently care for household pets, exotic animals, and livestock alike. Whether your pet requires a specialized diet, medication administration, medical monitoring, or simply extra attention and affection, I am committed to ensuring they receive the highest level of care. In addition to my animal care background, I currently work for the Sheriff's Office. This provides pet owners with added peace of mind knowing that a trusted, responsible professional is caring for both their pets and keeping a watchful eye on their home while they are away. I maintain continuing education certifications in Canine & Feline CPR and First Aid, Equine Emergency First Aid, and numerous other animal care certifications that I am happy to provide upon request. Combined with an extensive list of highly regarded references, my goal is to make every pet parent feel completely at ease when entrusting me with their beloved animals. I am always happy to accommodate special requests, unique care needs, medications, medical conditions, and individualized routines. I look forward to meeting you and your furry, feathered, or hoofed family members! With my position at work, my schedule fairly open to being very flexible with advance notice. I am happy to make adjustments as needed in order for pet parents to be happy and comfortable with the amount of visits/time spent with their pets while away. Depending on the pet parents wants/requests I am more than happy to spend extended periods of time exercising, walking, caring for their furry loved ones. I keep detailed and extensive notes on each client I have in order to achieve the highest quality/personalized care possible. Working for the local Sheriff's Office I can ensure a safe and trusted caregiver for your furry family members.
“Cheryl was great with my chocolate lab. She was very communicative with anything that came up. And even stayed little longer when she noticed Bailey was very anxious and seemed unwell. Thanks Cheryl for taking care of Bailey. Bailey had a great time with her too!”
About: I have had 2 dogs and a cat for the past 13 years and they are an extension of my family. Since college I’ve cared for my friend’s animals while they’ve gone on vacation or out of town. I’ve dropped into their home every few hours and have hosted them at my place. While caring for your animals, their physical safety is a top priority. Whether it be while they’re interacting with other animals at the dog park, or we bump into another pup while on a walk, I will always make sure they are well and no harm comes their way. I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your furry babies. Taking a long walk outdoors is a part of my daily routine. I love to care for animal’s needs from walking them, feeding them, petting them, or giving animals time to interact with other animals at a local park.
About: With over 40 years of experience caring for animals, I bring a calm, confident, and loving approach to every pet I meet. Big dogs don’t scare me—in fact, I adore them—and my background as a vet tech in an emergency clinic means I’m comfortable handling medical needs, including administering medications. I truly love all animals, and I talk to every dog, cat, or critter as if they were my own. Your pets will be in patient, capable, and genuinely caring hands with me. I can work from anywhere and I set my own hours so I'm available for any schedule that you and your pets need, even if it's just a visit. In your home, I care for your pets just like my own. Our cat sleeps with us, Tank is on the floor on my side is the bed. I talk to them like they're my best friends. 😊
“We have used Cadence a couple of different times now and she is fantastic! She is quick to respond, so sweet with the dogs, and makes sure to send the cutest picture updates. Highly recommend her :)”
“Alyssa is absolutely AMAZING! Our kitties fell in love with her, and so did we! Not only did she take exceptional care of our pets, but she also managed to keep our house cleaner than we do – what a wonderful surprise! Alyssa, thank you for being an incredible house and pet sitter. We were so impressed that we've already booked you again. You're a true gem. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“Dennis did such a wonderful job with Daisy. I completed the reservation for a friend who needed care for his ESA cat while he was at work. Both of us were shocked at how loved and safe Daisy felt. She warmed right up to Dennis and she's normally afraid of other people. He was flexible, professional, and an all-around good guy. I know that we'll book Dennis again with CONFIDENCE if we need a place for Daisy to stay!”
“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.”

“Nycole was an excellent communicator and is very dog savvy. She was particularly patient with our shy boy Waldo and did not push any boundaries. Her two business partners (dogs) were gracious host and would get along with any dog. We will be using her again for an overnight boarding in the next few weeks.”
“I was in Palm Coast for a family reunion and booked Maisie's daycare services for the days I couldn't bring my dog with me. From the very beginning, Maisie was prompt, professional, and kind in all of her communication. She took the time to share her and her husband's extensive professional experience, which immediately put me at ease about leaving my dog with someone else for the first time. Knowing my dog was in such capable and caring hands made all the difference. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Maisie again and highly recommend her services to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate pet care. Thank you, Maisie!”
“Mary did a wonderful job hosting Pepper for the day! He was very nervous after not being boarded for quite a while, but she calmed him down and sent pictures throughout the day, which was very reassuring!”

“Sophie's first visit with Kat - she returned to us relaxed and happy. Kat took her for 3 walks during the day and Sophie behaved better with her than she does with us on the leash. Kat helped Sophie through a little anxiety when an unexpected thunderstorm passed through. We hadn't told her about Sophie's fear of loud noises like gunshots, fireworks, and thunder - but she knew just what to do to help calm her. We're looking forward to another visit next week and more to come. Highly recommend (and the only reason we hesitate to give a glowing recommendations is purely selfish - we don't want y'all to grab all her availability!)”
“We have peace of mind leaving our sweet dog, Kensie, with Deborah and Gary. They are so loving and kind and we just feel like Kensie is being treated like one of their own. So thankful we found them.”
“Rachel was a wonderful dog sitter for Rosie. My dog played all day with her dog and got a lot of exercise. She communicated with me throughout the day to give me updates about my dog. She made me feel comfortable having her as a person my dog will love to go see in the future visits”
“This was our first time using a sitter for our puppy and it was a Great experience! We were pleasantly surprised with all the pictures Eliza took and sent to us so we could see that Ellie was having lots of fun. We will definitely be using her again!”

About: I began dog sitting to make my own money when I was in the fifth grade. The first two dogs I used to sit with after school everyday were two cocker spaniel rescues that began my love and appreciation for rescuing my own pets ❤️. Here at home I have a 9 year old Chiweenie and a senior mini dachshund. I grew up with a Great Dane and used to house sit with two Dobermans, however, I prefer to open my home to small or medium dogs only to keep my babies comfortable 😊. I know how difficult it is to find safe and trusted care for your pet when you need to travel for work or take a vacation, and this is why I decided to open my home to your pets, so that you can have peace of mind that your dog will be treated like family while they are here. Reach out with any questions 😊. I look forward to hosting your baby ❤️ I work in healthcare, which gives me flexible hours and full days off. On days off I am usually home doing schoolwork online. Availability will be restricted to my days off so that I am available to care for your pets needs (playing, frequent bathroom breaks, separation anxiety, etc.) I have a large fenced yard that my dogs and other dogs I have boarded love!! I have a small home that will be available to your dog to free roam, my dogs love to lay on the couches and there are plenty of blankets for the littles that like to burrow 😊. I have experience in crating dogs for the evening but it is not a requirement to stay here.
“Tracy is an exceptional caregiver. I have a 15 year old miniature pinscher that Tracy took care of for the day recently. Throughout the day, Tracy checked in with me via text, sending pics of my chilled out dog. I knew my dog was comfortable and calm when Tracy sent a pic of her begging for snacks. When I picked up my dog later that afternoon, she was relaxed and sleepy. Tracy is a consummate professional. After I contacted her about day care, we had a meet and greet so my dog could get acquainted with her. Tracy was on time and exhibited kindness and trustworthiness from the get go. She loves dogs and it showed. I hope to use her day care service again because I know my dog will be well taken care of. Compassion, kindness, and trustworthiness are qualities that Tracy possesses in abundance. I highly recommend her.”

“Andrea and her family were so lovely with our old girl Cuka. She was clearly very comfortable and well-cared for while we were away. The kids all took turns giving her cuddles and snacks, which of course she loved! And we are grateful that they were able to watch her on such short notice. My wife and I would definitely recommend Andrea to care for your fur baby!”
“First time Dustin was cared for by Deborah! And it was amazing! He loved being there and she enjoyed him! Thank you for taking such good care of my boy! I’ll definitely use her again.”

About: My family has owned numerous of dogs in our large family. From my Uncle's Dobermann trio to my mother small Pomsky (Pomeranian and Husky mix) I've taken care of them all. The dogs in our family are tired of me before I've run out of steam to play or walk. I own five cats at the moment though one of them acts like a caine. My cats are friendly and mind their business when I overnight board my mother's Pomsky or my sister's Old lab mix girl for a few days. Cleaning after animals do not bother me. I daily change 6 cat litter boxes. When I'm left clear instructions the job is done efficiently every time. I work from home full time and I'm awake before the sun come up. I'm ready to get the job done early and my job is flexible about my breaks. I can visit your pets anytime designated as I have my own vehicle. I have a open yard that's not fenced in though only one neighbor with a dog behind a fence. I'm working to fence my yard in the future as I like the idea to give sitted dogs that open space. For now know your dog will become part of my workouts and I love to walk about 3-5 miles daily. At my home your dog will be welcome to chill with us though during the night will board in the spare room in or out of any provided crates.
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: Hi there! 🐾 I know how much your pets mean to you, because I feel the same way. When I’m with your furry family, they get all the love, snuggles, and attention I’d give my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, belly rubs, or just keeping them company, I make sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for. I’ll also send you plenty of updates and cute photos so you never miss a moment. With me, your pets aren’t just looked after—they’re loved like family. Pets are already part of my daily routine thanks to my roommates and family—I’m always surrounded by furry friends. Whether it’s feeding, playing, or just hanging out, I naturally build pet care into my day. Spending time with animals is something I truly enjoy, and it keeps me active, patient, and mindful. Caring for pets outside my home feels like a natural extension of what I already do every day. 🐾❤️ I know how important trust is when it comes to caring for your pet and your home. I take time to get to know each pet at their own pace, follow their usual routine, and keep everything tidy and comfortable. I’ll always respect your house rules, send you daily updates, and treat your pets like family. With me, you can feel confident that both your home and your furry loved ones are in safe, caring hands🐕🐕🦺🐩🐈⬛🐈
About: With over 40 years of experience caring for animals, I bring a calm, confident, and loving approach to every pet I meet. Big dogs don’t scare me—in fact, I adore them—and my background as a vet tech in an emergency clinic means I’m comfortable handling medical needs, including administering medications. I truly love all animals, and I talk to every dog, cat, or critter as if they were my own. Your pets will be in patient, capable, and genuinely caring hands with me. I can work from anywhere and I set my own hours so I'm available for any schedule that you and your pets need, even if it's just a visit. In your home, I care for your pets just like my own. Our cat sleeps with us, Tank is on the floor on my side is the bed. I talk to them like they're my best friends. 😊
About: I have two dogs of my own that I absolutely adore. I’ve always watched dogs since I was around the age of 12. My family has always had dogs running around the house. Dogs are so special and as humans, we don’t deserve their love. I currently am a stay at home mom and have plenty of time to play with dogs. I have two dogs of my own, one very high energy and one on the lower energy side! So I understand how to take care of needs of both kind of energy dogs! I have a dog park very close to my friendly apartment and love to give them the proper care needed. I love going on runs and walks, especially with the amazing FL weather!
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.
“Dennis was excellent with Blue. Kept in touch every day like requested. Familiarized himself with Blue before the scheduled date of walks. Made sure that Blue had plenty of food & water. I can't say enough about Dennis, I will be booking him again in the future!”

About: I have fostered and worked with rescues in Canada when I lived there. I have also been a cat and dog mom for the last 26 years. I have potty trained and fostered puppies and abused animals from different situations. I am comfortable with administering medicine as well as insulin shots. I own my own home and can sit in my home or yours. When your fur babies are in my home they have full access to the entire home as well as yard. They can sleep in my room with me or if preferred in the living room. I love to drive so I can also pick up or go to appointments if needed. I am retired and have all the time in the world right now to do what makes me smile! That means being an amazing loving dog and cat sitter. I get up every morning take the dogs to the dog park or a good walk We go to the beach and go on trails exploring After a fun day we usually chill out when it’s especially hot and then have a nightly walk before heading to bed. I treat my dogs like family and if in my home they will have the house as they feel comfortable. If I am in your home I will follow any instructions left to insure that they are comfortable and consistent. I own my own home and have 2 fur babies of my own. A 15 year old bichon and an 8 year old cockapoo. If your animals come to my home they will be treated just like my own family. I am available for 24 hour care as well if needed for long periods of time. I do not crate my dogs they have free run of my home and furniture.
