Gravy the mutt came home happy and well loved. He has only been elsewhere three times in his almost three years of age. One of those times he came home piddling on everything and we haven’t let him elsewhere until now. Erika and Jason did a phenomenal job of treating him like family and we are so very thankful. Highly recommend and will use again 💕💕💕

Naomi is very caring with all her animals. She always sends updates with pictures and my little dog always looks so happy and comfortable in her home. I never worry while I am away and Jack is with Naomi because I know he is in good hands.

Our dogs love to go to Sheila's house so much that we don't even have to put them on a leash when we get there... They just run to the front door. And we never worry about anything while our dogs are being cared for by Sheila. Her house is all set up for the dogs and she has a wonderful, large fenced-in backyard.

About: Hi there! I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. From energetic puppies to senior pets who just want a calm companion, I truly enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality and needs. For the past 7 years, I’ve worked as a professional animal trainer with marine mammals—so patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement are at the core of everything I do. I bring that same thoughtful, reward-based approach to working with dogs and other pets. I currently have a small Pomeranian mix of my own, so I understand just how important it is to trust someone with your four-legged family member. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and well-being are always my top priorities—and I’ll care for them just like they’re part of my own family. Pet care fits easily into my routine alongside my 9–5 schedule. I’m available for morning and evening visits during the week, and I’m fully available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for more flexible care. I’m careful to only accept bookings I can fully commit to, so every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine and comfort level, whether in my home or yours. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and preferred routines. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and a calm, safe environment. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and work to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. My goal is always to keep your pet happy, stress-free, and well cared for while you’re away.

We had an amazing experience with our dog sitter! She took incredible care of our dog, treated her like family, played with her constantly, and made sure she was happy and comfortable the entire time. We especially appreciated all the photo and video updates — it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can truly tell she cares about animals and goes above and beyond. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and caring. Definitely a 5-star experience!

I was out of town for a few days, and Harvey took very good care of my puppies. When I dropped them off, they were so excited it was like they already knew him, even though it was their first time meeting him. He shared pictures of them while I was away, and they looked very happy and relaxed. When I picked them up, they still seemed so happy (aside from being excited to see me, of course!). I would recommend Harvey with no problem if you need someone kind and sweet to take care of your pets.

Madison was an absolute rockstar with my 8 month old pup. She was kind, and extremely caring with Cali. She kept me updated on Cali daily - my little girl was BEAMING in every picture from ear-to-ear. Cali misses having a buddy like Roma to run around with for sure. In the future we will ABSOLUTELY be electing Madison’s services.

About: I have had a deep passion for dogs since I was a young girl. My experience in dog care began in high school when I cared for a sick loved one’s dog. Over the course of that year, I not only gained a best friend but also developed a strong sense of responsibility and an appreciation for the joy and companionship that comes with caring for animals. Over the past 3–4 years, I have continued building my experience through dog sitting, and for the past two years, I have worked in a dog daycare and boarding facility. These experiences have strengthened my dedication to providing attentive, compassionate care while maintaining a safe and structured environment. I am committed to supporting both pets and their owners with reliability and professionalism. I’m available anytime after dropping my son off to school @8:30am. Or before/after picking him up from aftercare, by 5:30pm. I box on weekdays but can go around what ever is needed. At my home I have a fenced backyard, enough space to crate 1-3 dogs if need be. I want the dog to be as comfortable as possible, a home away from home. As for clients homes , they are to be treated with respect & cleanliness it is their safe space, same as my home.

She made sure our dog was a good fit for their household & put me at ease before heading out of town. Vanessa is a great communicator and her family is extremely accommodating. Thank you for taking such great care of our sweet girl & making her part of the family while we were gone!

We were nervous, but she was amazing! She was very attentive and sweet with our fur babies. She kept us updated with pictures everyday. They were happy and having fun. I would not hesitate to book with Million again!!

This time my cat threw up a bit and Kristin cleaned it up. She even washes his plates from the previous day. Absolutely wonderful with pets, and I’m always at ease when I know she’s checking in.

About: I have been around animals my whole life and currently have one dog, three cats (one senior with chronic illnesses/daily meds), four hermit crabs, one ball python, and 10 quail. In the past, I have cared for fish, snails, horses, rabbits, ferrets, a tarantula, and a variety of birds. I am open to watching animals of all kinds! I am able to provide drop in care any time on the weekends and morning/lunchtime/evening during the work week. I am also able to provide dog boarding in my home. I work Monday-Friday but my office is in the same neighborhood as my house - and is pet friendly! For drop in care, my goal is to provide care that keeps to the pets' regular schedule as much as possible in order to ensure they feel safe and cared for. I am able to medicate cats and dogs. For in home care, I am able to accommodate up to 2 dogs from the same household. I have a large, pet friendly house and fenced back yard. All boarding dogs must be cat friendly and good with other dogs.

She sent regular photos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind and let us see how happy and well cared for our pup was. Communication was smooth from start to finish, and we felt completely confident leaving our dog in her care. We would absolutely book with Jeanette again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter!

About: I've always had pets growing up from turtles, fish, ferrets and cats and dogs! I have watched several of my friends and family pets. I am currently working from home 40 hours a week and can host a dog or 2 depending on size for daycare/boarding. I am also available for morning and evening check-ins and walks! I do work from home so your babies can come hang out with me and my puppers during the work day and play out all their energy! I do have a 1.5 yr old golden doodle who loves to play and stays home with me now that I work from home. We love to go on walks or go to the park.

About: I've been taking care of animals ever since I was young, from hamsters to fish to dogs and more. I've managed both calm and trouble making animals and have experience dealing with the full age range of pets due to my personal experience as a dog owner, and from my time volunteering as a foster home for dog shelters. I'm currently working part-time, and so I have an incredibly flexible schedule. I'm available for just about hour of day for any period of time. Taking care of animals has been my weekly norm since I was a kid, so it's just what I'm used to. I have a large fenced yard for pets to feel free and roam around, and I've a multitude of my own resources at home such as bowls, crates, and pens to be used as needed. I usually like to give a pet a feel of independence to wander however they'd like throughout the home and yard, but can easily step in if greater supervision is needed. I'm usually always in the same space as my animals.

Tyeshia did an amazing job watching my fur baby, Uno! She was caring, attentive, and kept me updated which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Uno was happy, comfortable, and clearly well taken care of. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and kind to care for their pets!

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve cared for pets since my teenage years and have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from small companion breeds to large German Shepherds. I’m currently the proud dog mom of Neptune, our 7-year-old Pomsky, and two rescued shelter cats from Louisiana. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal with patience, attention, and genuine care. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, which allows me plenty of time to give your pets attention, playtime, walks, and care throughout the day. My husband also works remotely part-time from home, so there is usually someone home during the day. Our teenage daughter is home for the summer as well, meaning your pets will receive lots of love, attention, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We recently added a fenced 0.34-acre yard with plenty of room for supervised outdoor play and exercise. Our home is calm, family-oriented, and full of animal lovers, with multiple people available to give attention and care. I’m experienced with dogs of many sizes and personalities and will always follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.

About: I’m not sure that I’m much different then most pet loving people. I do have experience training adults and puppies, I have had a variety of breeds for pets. I feel that I can connect with dogs. My pets went to obedience school, allowing me to pick up some training skills. I haven’t met a friendly dog that I didn’t fall in love with yet. As I said before- Let me love your pets. Plenty of time for whatever you and your pets needs may be. I have open availability at this time, so please take advantage while it lasts. I have a large fenced in backyard with a pool. If your baby likes to swim, provide the life jacket and we will have some fun in the water.

About: Reliable and caring pet sitter with strong attention to detail, excellent communication, and a passion for keeping pets safe, happy, and well-cared for. With years of experience. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work from home and maintain a very flexible schedule. I’m available throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, and I can easily adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s needs. This allows me to provide consistent attention, care, and companionship, ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and well-cared for. In my home, I provide a safe, spacious, and welcoming environment. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I make up for it with multiple daily walks and trips to the dog park twice a day for exercise and socialization. I also have two children and a friendly dog, so your pet will have plenty of companionship and feel right at home. In a client’s home, I follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care—so they stay comfortable in their familiar environment.

About: Hi there! I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. From energetic puppies to senior pets who just want a calm companion, I truly enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality and needs. For the past 7 years, I’ve worked as a professional animal trainer with marine mammals—so patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement are at the core of everything I do. I bring that same thoughtful, reward-based approach to working with dogs and other pets. I currently have a small Pomeranian mix of my own, so I understand just how important it is to trust someone with your four-legged family member. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and well-being are always my top priorities—and I’ll care for them just like they’re part of my own family. Pet care fits easily into my routine alongside my 9–5 schedule. I’m available for morning and evening visits during the week, and I’m fully available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for more flexible care. I’m careful to only accept bookings I can fully commit to, so every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine and comfort level, whether in my home or yours. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and preferred routines. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and a calm, safe environment. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and work to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. My goal is always to keep your pet happy, stress-free, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over six years, and spending so much time around animals has taught me that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and way of communicating. My experience includes caring for dogs both in Colombia and in the U.S., as well as cats, so I’m comfortable with different temperaments and daily care needs. I’m patient, dependable, and always focused on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I know how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, so I treat every pet with the same kindness, respect, and attention I would expect for my own. Whether it’s sticking to their routine, going on walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care every visit. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and last-minute bookings. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to make sure they receive the care and attention they need. I provide attentive, reliable care in the client’s home to help pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, and any special care needs such as medications or senior support. I focus on creating a calm and safe environment while owners are away, making sure pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for. I also keep owners updated as needed so they have peace of mind during every visit.

When we need someone to watch our babies again Rebecca is who we will turn to. She kept us updated while we were away and the pets were getting along better when we got back. I do’t know what she said to them but I won’t be surprised if I find our dog and younger cat curled up together. He has become quite protective of her. After Rebecca left, our Maddox cried. He wanted to go with her. Rebecca is a keeper as a sitter. I highly recommend her. Very carring.

About: Hi, I’m Jennifer! Animals have always been at the center of my life. I grew up in rural Pennsylvania surrounded by the Amish community, where caring for animals, from cows and goats to dogs and cats, was simply part of daily life. That early experience shaped my respect for animals of all kinds and gave me a lifelong passion for their care. Today, I’m proud to be both a certified yoga instructor and a devoted pet mom to three wonderful dogs and several cats. I bring the same patience, energy, and mindfulness from my yoga practice into how I care for animals. Over the past 20 years, I’ve gained extensive experience with dogs and cats of all ages, but I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs and cats. From gentle walks to providing comfort and administering medications, I understand the extra attention and compassion they need in their golden years. Whether your pet needs an energetic play session, a calming stroll, or specialized senior care, I adapt to their unique personality and routines. I am flexible, reliable, and committed to making your life easier while giving your pet the very best care. You can relax knowing your four-legged family member is in good hands. I treat every pet like my own, because I know how much trust it takes to leave your fur-baby in someone else’s care. Walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, litter box cleaning, or simply keeping them company, I make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. No task is too big or too small.

About: While professional dog walking for others is new for me, caring for dogs is not. I was lucky to spend 14 amazing years with my own dog, who was truly my soul dog and taught me so much about patience, attentiveness, routine, and unconditional love. After recently stepping away from my corporate career to slow down and focus on things that genuinely bring me joy - spending time with dogs, being active outdoors, creating meaningful connections. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I would care for them with the same kindness, attention, and love I gave my own. Whether your furry friend loves long walks, playtime, or simply companionship, I'm excited to provide a safe, fun and loving experience for them. Because I've recently stepped away from a corporate career I am flexible with my time, which allows me the ability to care for your furry friend. Dog walking is the perfect fit for this season of life because it combines my love for dogs, being active outdoors, and building meaningful connections in my community. You can expect dependable communication, punctuality, lots of love and attention for your pup, and someone who will care for them as if they were my own. At this time, I’m focusing exclusively on dog walking so I can provide the best possible experience and attention to each pup I care for. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I will make sure they are securely leashed, closely supervised, walked in safe areas, and cared for according to your instructions and their individual needs. Whether your dog enjoys energetic walks or a slower pace, you can expect dependable care, patience, and lots of love every step of the way.

About: Hi there! I'd love to help take care of your fur babies while you're away. I offer drop in visits for dogs and cats in the Shalimar/Eglin/FWB area. I also offer dog boarding in my home. If you're interested in requesting to board your dog I want to be certain we are a great fit for your pup. Please see below for details: -Your dog must be ok with other dogs (I personally have 2 large dogs) -Your dog must be ok with cats (I have 1 sassy cat) I do ask your dog be comfortable in a kennel for short periods for the first day or two(Approx 4hrs max at a time,I require this for when I have to leave the house for the first few days while the dogs are still getting to know each other, I want everyone to be safe) After comfort has been established and if you normally allow your dog to free roam and prefer it, that is no problem. We love to let our pups free roam. -I do work Mon-Fri but work 5 minutes away and always come home and hour for lunch I've been working with local rescues and shelters for years walking, caring for, and fostering animals. I've also watched many pets for friends and family. I have a full privacy fenced yard. I enjoy doing drop in visits for both cats and dogs and dog walking. I also love boarding dogs in my home. I love cats and can offer drop in visits in your home for them, however I am unable to board cats in my home(our cat isn't a fan of other cats) I have a military background and understand the challenges military pet owners face. I do have Eglin base access. If you're going on an extended TDY/deployment beyond 3 weeks reach out for special pricing. * I require a meet and greet prior to any boarding confirmation to ensure everyone is comfortable and gets along. The saftey and well being of your pets and mine is my #1 priority. I currently work full time during the day(Mon-Fri) , but am fortunate enough to work only a few minutes from home. I can do drop ins/walks in the morning/evenings. I also come home at lunch or could do drop in/walk during my lunch break if needed. If I'm caring for your pets in your home, I will ask your preferences. If I am boarding them, I allow animals to free roam the home while I am home. While I'm gone I generally kennel to ensure everyone's saftey since I'm not there to keep an eye on eveyone.(I can always make exceptions to this based on the dog, especially once I know eveyone is comfortable with each other) I do have a fully fenced backyard and a doggy door and we will also enjoy daily walks. *Please have your pup wear a collar for their visit with their information on it. Its a simple way to keep them safe in a new environment.

About: Owner of Panhandle Pet Care & Waste Removal. I offer professional pet care services to include POOPER SCOOPER services. I am licensed, insured and bonded for everyone's protection! I would love to meet you and discuss your family's needs! Pets are like children! it is my second nature to make sure those fur babies are well taken care of and need NOTHING! Your pets needs, wants and current routine is my top priority! While I cannot board your pets in my home, I am more than happy to visit your pet where they are most comfortable, IN THEIR HOME!!! This begins our relationship with safety and trust as they are in an environment where they are familiar. If your pup is extra skittish I will more than likely request to stop by a couple times before your departure date. This lets your pet know I am allowed to be in their home and I can be trusted. I will NEVER force myself on any animal, I ALWAYS let them come to me!

Jessica and her family took great care of my fur baby while I was on vacation. She fit right in and was hesitant to leave. Will definitely use Jessica again when I am in town.

We had an amazing experience with our dog sitter! She took incredible care of our dog, treated her like family, played with her constantly, and made sure she was happy and comfortable the entire time. We especially appreciated all the photo and video updates — it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can truly tell she cares about animals and goes above and beyond. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and caring. Definitely a 5-star experience!

I was out of town for a few days, and Harvey took very good care of my puppies. When I dropped them off, they were so excited it was like they already knew him, even though it was their first time meeting him. He shared pictures of them while I was away, and they looked very happy and relaxed. When I picked them up, they still seemed so happy (aside from being excited to see me, of course!). I would recommend Harvey with no problem if you need someone kind and sweet to take care of your pets.

Madison was an absolute rockstar with my 8 month old pup. She was kind, and extremely caring with Cali. She kept me updated on Cali daily - my little girl was BEAMING in every picture from ear-to-ear. Cali misses having a buddy like Roma to run around with for sure. In the future we will ABSOLUTELY be electing Madison’s services.

My first night away from my dogs! They had a lot of fun socializing with the other dogs and running around the yard. Would definitely recommend Sam’s place for high-energy large dogs.

Jeanette and her husband were great with my two doggies! I got an update almost daily and pictures were sent as well. The two are super knowledgeable about k-9s and took perfect care of mine. I would recommend and plan to use again since my pup lab-pit is now the best of friends with hers!

About: I have had a deep passion for dogs since I was a young girl. My experience in dog care began in high school when I cared for a sick loved one’s dog. Over the course of that year, I not only gained a best friend but also developed a strong sense of responsibility and an appreciation for the joy and companionship that comes with caring for animals. Over the past 3–4 years, I have continued building my experience through dog sitting, and for the past two years, I have worked in a dog daycare and boarding facility. These experiences have strengthened my dedication to providing attentive, compassionate care while maintaining a safe and structured environment. I am committed to supporting both pets and their owners with reliability and professionalism. I’m available anytime after dropping my son off to school @8:30am. Or before/after picking him up from aftercare, by 5:30pm. I box on weekdays but can go around what ever is needed. At my home I have a fenced backyard, enough space to crate 1-3 dogs if need be. I want the dog to be as comfortable as possible, a home away from home. As for clients homes , they are to be treated with respect & cleanliness it is their safe space, same as my home.

We were so thankful to have found Vanessa to watch our dog in her home. She has a strong background working with animals and it shows in the approach to her care. She made sure our dog was a good fit for their household & put me at ease before heading out of town. Vanessa is a great communicator and her family is extremely accommodating. Thank you for taking such great care of our sweet girl & making her part of the family while we were gone!

Andrew and Maria are amazing. Our dog bonded with Maria instantly; she is a true “dog whisperer” and has a profound gift with animals. They both did an excellent job caring for our dog. You won’t find a nicer couple to look after your pet in the area. I highly recommend them!!!

She was absolutely amazing. Even though she doesn’t have a yard, my puppy got plenty of walks and trips to the dog park. She responded quickly to all of my questions, which I really appreciated. I also forgot to pack a bowl, but she reassured me it was fine and took care of it. She even sent lots of photos and videos of my puppy, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I picked him up, he was excited to see me but also whining because he was leaving them—that really showed me he was treated like family. I would definitely book with her again.
