“Sar was an exceptional caretaker for our 6 month old greyhound puppy, Tiffin. He made sure that his every need was met, and kept in constant communication with us with lovely photos and videos.

We felt very safe trusting Tiffin with Sar, and wouldn’t hesitate to do so again in the future.”

“Was super nervous to leave my last baby Oreo for 3 weeks with anyone. Lila was incredibly reassuring and kept me up to date with daily photos and progress of Oreos daily habits and how he was doing. I felt completely at ease would definitely book again without a second thought. You can truly tell she has a passion for dogs and their well being. Her dogs are great too and very adaptable. Thanks Lila for everything!”

About: I currently have a 5 year old male GoldenDoodle and a 3 year old female doxie. My fur babies are my world next to my human daughter. They are well taken care of with dog insurance at Banfield with yearly teeth cleaning and up to date on all shots and vaccines. I have watched my friends and families fur babies and would love to care for others. I am looking to occupy my free time on the weekends with more dog interactions in the neighborhood. I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to play with your fur baby. I am available to walk or board on the weekends or weekdays. I have a fenced in backyard and two friendly dogs to keep your dog company. I take my dogs on multiple long walks per day. I can also crate your dog if you need.
“I could not have found a more perfect for both myself and my dog. While on a very arduous trip away, any concerns I may have usually had regarding him being boarded, were alleviated by the nurturing and care he received during his stay. He enjoyed his “new family” so much, I worried he may not have wanted to leave to go home! My boy will be returning to hang out with his buddies before too long!”
“Rose is the best! My senior lab, Abbey, and my young, untrusting street rescue Briar always do soooo well with Rose. They love staying with her and it's gratifying to see Briar bond so well with her🩷🩷”
“Bri has been wonderful looking after our Jack Russell. He's an older dog and can be a bit grumpy and makes it known when he's not happy. We got updates and photos and when we picked him up today it was clear that he enjoyed his stay and was very well cared for. Thank you Bri!”
“Emma is amazing!! My 2 Yorkies were in such good hands that I sometimes even forgot to check in. Emma is super responsive and sent me daily photos/videos, which means the world to a dog mom when she is away from her pups and missing them. Emma is clearly very experienced with dogs and I felt confident leaving my dogs with her for nearly two weeks. She is very professional, yet also personable, accomodating, and kind. I would love to have her watch my lil pups again sometime in the future.”
“Seriously hands down the best experience we have had with a sitter. She was responsive and available at short notice. Our dogs are anxious little things and she handled it like a pro. They came back to us exactly as we left them, I might say, even a bit more spoiled! I received updates whenever I asked for them, and pictures of the pups playing and cuddling. I felt at ease as soon as she showed us her beautiful home and the dedicated room for the dogs to hang out in when she isn’t there or present. 10/10 recommend! You won’t regret trusting her with your babies!”

Whether it was feeding the horses, checking on my rabbits and lamb, or taking care of our 6 dogs, pet care has been something I've done every day. Growing up with animals and being responsible for them also taught me to have great respect for other living creatures and I carried that respect into adulthood.

I work from home, so I can keep your pet company all day and can provide your pet with affection, walks and playtime. I have no dogs or children in the house, so they will get my full attention.
“Bianca was responsible and took great care of my kitties, especially the one who needed daily medication at a specific time. We were gone for 2 weeks and I was concerned about having someone that would able to be consistent with the medication and their care. However, Bianca was always punctual and provided excellent reports and pictures. I am very pleased with her services. I highly recommend her.”

About: What sets me apart as a cat sitter is the depth of my bond with cats and the compassion I bring to every whisker and paw under my care. I’ve nursed kittens as young as two weeks old — my first, Kai, who grew into a strong and loving companion before passing from a respiratory illness at two years old, and later Krona, a gentle soul who I cared for through immune challenges until his first birthday. Through them, I learned not just the routines of feeding, cleaning, and comfort, but the quiet language of trust that every cat speaks when they feel safe and loved. Whether it’s administering medications, keeping litter spaces spotless, or simply offering patient affection to shy or sensitive cats, I approach each moment with understanding and empathy. My love for my kittens never faded — it continues in the care I give to every feline friend I meet, ensuring they feel seen, secure, and cherished.
About: I’ve taken care of my partners dog for a few weeks at a time due to their family traveling away for vacation. We’ve enjoyed many walks, play time with toys, along with treats. I would still like to branch out and learn more about what it takes to care for other furry friends! As of right now, my availability is Monday-Saturday I’m available for walks or sitting from 7AM-12PM and on Sundays, I’m available from 2PM-10PM. This will be changing within the next two weeks, hopefully to be able to maintain more nighttime availability! I enjoy ensuring that all of the animals that have been in my care have the necessities to fulfill their everyday lives. I pride myself with knowing that I’m comfortable with my abilities to protect my furry friends. I am willing to adapt and learn patterns and styles that many families have set for their pets. In any case where I’m needed to stay at the home of a pet owner, I’m willing to help out with cleaning and keeping the areas tidy.
About: Well someday when I move out my parents house I wish to have my own dog because I love pets.I can bathe him or her for you. What set me apart from other sitters is that I know pets are like our basically like our kids too. I can promise that your dog or cat will be in safe hands no harm at all. It’s my responsibility for anything that happens. I love being around pets they keep me energized. It’s fun. My pet car experience is acceptable. I’m not saying am any different from any pet sitters but everyone has there own way some may give poor customer service. Some may actually care about what they’re doing like me. I am thankful for you giving me this opportunity
About: Currently working from home full time. Any animal interaction is great for me. I love all animals. I have two cats, that are very chill and love all dogs. I love playing fetch, going on walks or just sitting at home and cuddling on the couch together. Dogs are family members and best friends. I can give them baths as frequently as needed and any other special tasks they might require, I am your girl for this job! I work from home with a few set meetings throughout the week, however, I am able to work around those times as they are not typically longer than 60 minutes. i have no issues staying at a customers house to ensure their baby is comfortable and happy. I love cuddling with dogs in bed, on the couch or wherever! I can also read when space is needed :)
About: I have had pets since I was a little kid. I also rescue animals -- up north, I have 5 cats and several rescue horses. I love animals, they are my passion! I work remote at home, so I am able to take care of pets easily and attend to their needs. I often take my own dogs with me - to grab a smoothie, go to the dog park, or take a nice long walk to an outdoor cafe. There are a few parks and walking paths in my neighborhood, plus waste disposals making bathroom breaks easy and convenient. Just down the street there is a lovely dog park, with several fenced in areas for small dogs and/or puppies that can't socialize with the larger breeds.

About: I’ve personally raised and loved five dogs over the years, so I understand that pets aren’t just animals & they’re family. Two of my dogs have passed on, and the other three now live with my sisters as their emotional support companions. That experience taught me how to be patient, attentive, and in tune with animals’ emotional needs. I know how to care for pets in a way that makes them feel safe, seen, and loved… whether they need playtime, structure, or just a calm presence. As a teacher, I have plenty of time and flexibility to give your pet the attention they deserve :). Give your fur baby a friend and sitter that they would love. Whether your pet is with me or I’m caring for them in your home, I focus on creating a calm, loving, and safe environment. I follow your routine closely—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions—and I always keep you updated with photos and messages. I treat every pet like family and your home with the same care and respect.
“Came down to spring training for a week and brought Copper with us, and Brittney made the trip so much better than expected by looking after him while we were out for hours at a time. She responded to my original request and all of my other messages almost right away, and she was so great with Copper! He stayed with her twice for daycare and on the second day he was pulling to get inside just like he does at our own house. We’ll know where to start our search if we come back!”

“I had a great experience with Meaghan! She have a huge property with lots of trees, which gave my dog plenty of space to run, explore, and feel comfortable. It really feels like a natural, stress-free environment compared to typical boarding places. My dog came back happy and well cared for. I definitely recommend her if you’re looking for someone with a safe and spacious outdoor setting.”
“This was the first time we used Rover for Zelda and we are super glad we chose Don to watch her. We told him that Zelda has a habit of taking things off of tables and counters and he “Zelda proofed” his house for us. She came home happy and safe, which is all we could wish for. We will be using Don again. Thanks Don!”
About: Hi! I’m Tamara, and if your pet stays with me, they’ll be treated like family from the moment they walk through the door. ❤️ I’ve always had a soft spot for animals, and getting to care for them honestly doesn’t feel like work to me. Every pet has their own little personality, routines, and quirks, and I love getting to know what makes each one happy. Whether your dog loves long walks, endless games of fetch, or would rather spend the day snuggled up on the couch, I’m happy to meet them where they’re most comfortable. When you’re away, my goal is to make your pet feel as safe, loved, and stress-free as possible. I stick closely to their normal routine, follow every instruction carefully, and make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and exercise based on their individual needs. I also know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else. That’s why I send lots of photo updates and messages throughout their stay so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I want you to feel like you’re right there with them. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, their safety, happiness, and comfort always come first. I pay close attention to their behavior, make sure they have a clean and cozy environment, and treat them with the same love and patience I’d want for my own pets. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member, and I hope to become someone you can count on whenever you need a trusted sitter!! I’m fortunate to have a flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. Whether we’re out for a walk, playing, or simply relaxing together, I love making sure every pet feels happy, comfortable, and cared for throughout the day. Since I’m home often, I’m also able to provide companionship and make sure pets aren’t left alone for long periods of time while their owners are away! Safety starts with understanding each pet as an individual. Before caring for a new pet, I take the time to learn their routine, personality, comfort level, and any important details from their owner. Knowing what is normal for each pet helps me provide better care and recognize when something may be different. In my home, I provide a calm and comfortable environment where pets can relax, play, and receive plenty of attention throughout the day. I have a large fenced yard with plenty of space for supervised outdoor time, play, and enrichment while still making sure each pet’s safety comes first. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect I would want for my own. I keep their routine consistent, follow instructions carefully, and make sure they feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I believe good pet care is about being attentive, patient, and proactive. I pay attention to changes in behavior, energy levels, eating habits, and overall well-being, and I keep owners updated so they always feel connected and informed!
“Jeff is such a great sitter & has been the only sitter that can take my puppy at very early times when needed. It’s also very clear that my puppy loves him & is being treated very well which is a plus for me & helps me relax knowing he is in good hands.”
“We are new to the area and needed to find a reliable sitter for our 2 year old lab. Tatiana took Maisie on last minute and took great care of our girl. She also made sure to update me with pictures. Maisie came back to us so happy and is now sleeping like a baby. Thank you!!”

About: As a mother of five grown children and a devoted dog owner, I have spent much of my life caring for others with patience, kindness, and responsibility. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have often helped friends by looking after their pets when they were away or in need of extra support.

“Tammy is an amazing puppy sitter! She was very understanding and accomodating when I told her it will be hard for me to find a parking spot to drop off Trixie in the AM before work. She offered to come pick her up at 6:30 AM! She was punctual and showed up at my door on time with a dog carrier. I handed Trixie over to her and had confidence that my puppy was in good hands. I was able then to drive to my train station and get to work on time. Upon meeting Tammy, you get a sense of security and peace of mind. She is super nice, flexible and updated me with lots of photos of Trixie throughout the day. She has an adorable Havanese puppy Warby who is ridiculously adorable. She followed my instructions and actually gave me some good advice in training Trixie to use the pad. I would use Tammy again in the furture and highly recommend her if you need a dog nanny for a day or while on vacation. She is wlling to go out of her way to make your life less stressful, and she is just genuinely a very nice, kind person. Trixie came home happy and tired after a long day with Tammy!”

While I am not petsitting, I am babysitting children from ages 1-10 and gaining patient care hours with doctors and PAs to gain more experience in the medical field. My schedule for these jobs are constantly changing, so I will be sure to keep my calendar updated! I love staying productive during my day, and taking care of dogs while helping their owners seems like a perfect way to do that. I’d enjoy having some extra company during my off days and I am happy to offer flexible dog care hours to fit your schedule.

Rest assured, your dog will receive my undivided attention and plenty of fun while in my care. :)
About: I have worked with and been around all kinds of pets my entire life. I have owned many different kinds of dogs including high energy breeds. My father uses cocker spaniels, brittanys, and labradors to hunt. When he wasn't hunting with them, I trained and took care of them. We even bred out labradors. I also have a good amount of experience with cats and a great deal of experience with horses. I know horses have nothing to do with this, BUT if I can take care of a half ton heard animal I can definitely handle your high energy doodle! At the moment, I am very free to take care of your pet everyday. Once a day tues-sun i have to go to the barn to ride my horses. I wont be gone more than 4 hours to do that. My days will get busier around fall and I am occasionally away at horse shows. I live in a cozy yet spacious apartment. Kept organized and clean. Perfect for cats or the mild energy dog. I dont have a fenced yard so if your dog needs free range that is something i cant provide day to day. But I can always bring them to dog parks or sniff spots if that is something you would like. I can provide twice daily walks or more if needed. *********IMPORTANT: My dog (Luca) is susceptible to parasites, especially giardia. He is on preventative and has all his vaccinations , but I cannot allow or take on UNVACCINATED or UNPROTECTED pets. I can’t take a dog that is showing any signs or symptoms of a parasite or other illness. If your dog is vomiting or has loose stool and diarrhea, please contact your vet because they could be a great danger to others they may encounter. Please make sure your dog is perfectly healthy before requesting any kind of boarding. Please be responsible, truthful, and honorable when booking sitting or boarding for your dog. Thank you! ***********

This includes administering treatments when necessary, bathing them regularly, trimming their nails, keeping up with vaccinations and medical checkups, and providing plenty of affection and companionship on a daily basis. Taking care of animals comes naturally to me. I not only provide for their basic needs, but I also establish a loving bond with my pets through consistent care, grooming, attention, and of course walks and treats. The wellbeing of the animals in my care is of the utmost importance to me. Pet care is completely integrated into my daily routine and responsibilities. From the moment I wake up, my focus is on ensuring the needs of my pets are met. Each morning begins with filling food and water bowls, cleaning litter boxes, and walking the dogs. My farm animals also require daily attention in terms of feeding, watering and letting them into their specific areas. Throughout the day, I am constantly checking in on my pets, refilling water, playing with them, and providing comfort and companionship. If any of my pets show signs they are unwell or need to see a vet, I make that my top priority and will rearrange my schedule accordingly to take them to appointments. Even during the nighttime, I am there for my pet and their needs and listen for any sounds that would indicate they want to go outside or need something. Their wellbeing and happiness comes before anything else in my routine. No matter what else is going on in my day, my pets always receive the time, care and love they deserve from me. As a dedicated pet caregiver, I provide for all the needs of the animals under my supervision. Whether at my own home or a client's residence, my focus is always on ensuring the pets remain happy, healthy, and well behaved. I allow the pets outdoor access at regular intervals, taking them for walks when needed. Basic hygiene is a priority, so pets receive routine grooming that includes baths and nail trimming. I play with the animals frequently to and provide lots of affection, hugs, and praise to make sure they feel loved. Their diet is closely monitored. I prepare fresh food and change water dishes regularly. I also secure away objects that could pose a hazard if left where a pet could access them. Regular vet appointments are scheduled to check them out and keep them up to date with everything. I take the pets to parks and other open spaces for fun. My role as a pet caregiver ensures all needs are met and the animals remain comfortable and content, whether at my own residence or under my supervision at a client's home. The pets' happiness and wellbeing are my top priorities.
“Rachel, as always, is great! She is very communicative and our pup LOVES when she visits. She’s always our first go to when we need someone to care for our guy when we are out of town.”

About: I’ve been passionately caring for and training dogs since I was 11 years old. I have hands-on experience with pups of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities—from large breeds like German Shepherds and Husky mixes to small companions like Malteses. Additionally, I have professional experience working as an Animal Care Specialist and volunteering for the Lee County Animal Shelter, so you can trust that your furry best friend is in safe, capable hands! I have a highly flexible, work-from-home schedule! Since my job is remote and my classes are online, I am available around the clock for care, playtime, and walks. This also means I can be very accommodating with your drop-off and pick-up times to make your trip as stress-free as possible. Safety and comfort are my absolute top priorities. If your pup stays with me, they will spend most of their time indoors in a clean, pet-proofed environment, with plenty of access to a fully fenced backyard for supervised playtime and potty breaks. I have two incredibly friendly and well-trained dogs of my own—Shadow (5) and Koa, a 50-pound Husky mix (2), who make excellent playmates for dogs of all sizes. Thanks to my professional background working as an Animal Care Specialist, I am highly experienced in reading dog body language, managing safe introductions, and maintaining a secure, stress-free environment for every pet under my care.

About: For many years throughout my life, I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments — from bouncy puppies learning their first commands to gentle seniors who just need a little extra patience and love. What sets me apart is my ability to connect with each dog on their level, tuning into their personality and needs to make sure they feel safe, understood, and adored. I’ve also had the honor of caring for my family’s beloved dogs, Sandy and Serenity (Goldador & Dingo mix), both of whom recently took their final walk to heaven. They taught me the beauty of unconditional love, the importance of mindful care in every life stage, and how to create a sense of calm and comfort even in the quietest moments. Whether it’s playtime, training, or simply keeping your pup company, I treat every dog as family — because they deserve nothing less. Pet care isn’t just part of my routine — it’s the heartbeat of my days. I love to start and end each day with time dedicated to the animals I look after, whether it’s feeding, playtime, grooming, or simply giving them the affection and reassurance they deserve. Caring for pets grounds me; it’s both a rhythm and a refuge. I’ve raised and loved cats and dogs from the tiniest, two-week-old kittens to senior companions in their golden years. That experience taught me patience, responsibility, and the joy of being fully present. Whether I’m checking in for walks, cleaning litter boxes, or curling up for quiet companionship, I treat every visit as sacred time — where trust and love grow one moment at a time. Caring for animals isn’t an errand in my life — it’s part of who I am. In my home — and in my clients’ homes — I care for pets with a blend of structure, affection, and patience. My cats grew up free to explore, guided by gentle discipline and positive reinforcement when curiosity led to a bit too much clawing. I believe in redirecting with love, rewarding good behavior, and building trust so that even the most mischievous furballs feel safe and understood. With dogs, my care is both active and nurturing. I’ve given regular baths, taught etiquette-based commands like sit, lay, and fetch, and kept their days filled with play, attention, and enrichment. As my parents grew older, I took on full responsibility for vet visits, medication schedules, and daily routines — ensuring my dogs stayed healthy, happy, and loved through every stage of life. Whether in my home or a client’s, I create a space where animals can thrive — where structure feels like love, and care is given with the same devotion I offered to my own beloved pets.

About: I have had pets since I was a little kid. I also rescue animals -- up north, I have 5 cats and several rescue horses. I love animals, they are my passion! I work remote at home, so I am able to take care of pets easily and attend to their needs. I often take my own dogs with me - to grab a smoothie, go to the dog park, or take a nice long walk to an outdoor cafe. There are a few parks and walking paths in my neighborhood, plus waste disposals making bathroom breaks easy and convenient. Just down the street there is a lovely dog park, with several fenced in areas for small dogs and/or puppies that can't socialize with the larger breeds.

About: I currently have a 5 year old male GoldenDoodle and a 3 year old female doxie. My fur babies are my world next to my human daughter. They are well taken care of with dog insurance at Banfield with yearly teeth cleaning and up to date on all shots and vaccines. I have watched my friends and families fur babies and would love to care for others. I am looking to occupy my free time on the weekends with more dog interactions in the neighborhood. I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to play with your fur baby. I am available to walk or board on the weekends or weekdays. I have a fenced in backyard and two friendly dogs to keep your dog company. I take my dogs on multiple long walks per day. I can also crate your dog if you need.
“I could not have found a more perfect for both myself and my dog. While on a very arduous trip away, any concerns I may have usually had regarding him being boarded, were alleviated by the nurturing and care he received during his stay. He enjoyed his “new family” so much, I worried he may not have wanted to leave to go home! My boy will be returning to hang out with his buddies before too long!”
“Rose is the best! My senior lab, Abbey, and my young, untrusting street rescue Briar always do soooo well with Rose. They love staying with her and it's gratifying to see Briar bond so well with her🩷🩷”
“Emma is amazing!! My 2 Yorkies were in such good hands that I sometimes even forgot to check in. Emma is super responsive and sent me daily photos/videos, which means the world to a dog mom when she is away from her pups and missing them. Emma is clearly very experienced with dogs and I felt confident leaving my dogs with her for nearly two weeks. She is very professional, yet also personable, accomodating, and kind. I would love to have her watch my lil pups again sometime in the future.”
“Seriously hands down the best experience we have had with a sitter. She was responsive and available at short notice. Our dogs are anxious little things and she handled it like a pro. They came back to us exactly as we left them, I might say, even a bit more spoiled! I received updates whenever I asked for them, and pictures of the pups playing and cuddling. I felt at ease as soon as she showed us her beautiful home and the dedicated room for the dogs to hang out in when she isn’t there or present. 10/10 recommend! You won’t regret trusting her with your babies!”
“Isabella was absolutely amazing. She kept us informed on Kaylees day with photos and texts multiple times a day. It was nice to see Kaylee feel right at home instantly. On top of the great care of our pup she was so accommodating. We had flight delays and Isabella allowed us to modify our time and dates so that wasn’t another worry for us. Will definitely use her again!”
