“April 23 - 23, 2026 Once again, Wayne's dog sitting was on point!! I received daily updates via pictures of how my boy, Bear, was doing. Like I said before, I would highly recommend Wayne as a perfect dog sitter. Wayne has officially become my go-to dog sitter. Thanks again.”
“It was so nice to meet Dave. First time user of this sight and was put right at ease with how comforting Dave made my shih tzu feel at home in his home. Dave sent photos throughout the day which also helped me know he was being attentive and loving to my boy. I feel they made a bond that now I can work with and know my Cody will not only be comfortable...but happy beside his new friend Dave when I am not around. I will be calling on him again and would recommend him to anyone who is hesitant to use a "stranger" to watch their precious loved one. In moments, with the manner that Dave conducts himself, they will be fast friends.”
“Luke and Melody seemed to have had a great time. They were even freshly bathed when I picked them up. Jessica and her husband are really good with dogs and I won't hesitate to book another stay for my fur kids.”

“Nika loved staying with Marion! She was very well taken care of and I'm so happy that I found Marion. She made my puppy feel very welcome and she kept me updated with the cutest pictures, so I didn't have to worry about Nika. When we came back, Nika was really happy to see us but also kind of sad to leave her new friend. She was also very tired after her little vacation and she slept great through the night! We will definitely leave Nika with Marion again in the future, we know our puppy will be safe and surrounded by great people. Marion was also very accommodating and it was very easy to set up meet-and-greet and drop-off and pick-up times. Her house is very well set up for dog boarding and that was a huge plus! Nika was able to hang out in a nice fenced back yard. I definitely recommend Marion to anybody who is anxious about leaving their dog even for couple of days - Nika is my baby and I understand the struggle!”

About: As a child raised on a farm, I developed a natural ability to nurture and care for animals of all kinds. For as long as I can remember, I have provided my pets with everything they need to thrive. I have owned several dogs and cats over the years. I make sure they remain happy and healthy. 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.
“Saige took great care of my cat. She followed all the care instructions perfectly, was prompt and consistent. If you need someone you know your baby will be in goods hands with, Saige is your girl!”
About: Although most people see this as a job, i see pet-sitting as a fun and exciting opportunity to make new friends all with their own personalities:)! Seeing as i don’t really find myself going out much now-a-days, pet sitting seems like the only right option needed to be taken way sooner. I believe in everyone having their own schedules for their babies, so i try to keep their routines to allow more comfort for all parties.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Venus
About: Hi, I’m David. As a lifelong animal lover, providing dedicated, high-quality pet care is very much second nature to me. I understand firsthand the deep bond we share with our animals—a bond I thoroughly enjoyed for nearly 13 unforgettable years with my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Because I work remotely and typically enjoy a flexible schedule, your pet will have constant companionship, individual attention, and seamless supervision throughout the day. Whether they are boarding at my place or I am house-sitting at yours, they will never be a secondary priority. I treat every guest like a member of my family. Whether your pet thrives on active walks, playful energy, or just quiet companionship, they will enjoy a relaxing, boutique stay tailored entirely to their normal routine. I know how tough it is to be away from your fur baby, so I am fully committed to keeping you connected with photos, videos, and text updates as often as you prefer. For your convenience, I also offer same-day appointments and make every effort to accommodate your schedule. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I primarily work remotely and enjoy a flexible schedule, so I'm generally available most days/nights when needed. I can also be available with little or no notice assuming no prior committments. I have an open grass yard in both the front and back of my property, and I enjoy spending time outside. I'm very open to keeping pet owners as informed as possible and am happy to keep you up to date with photo logs throughout the day.
“Great sitter. Excellent communication with updates and pics. Sophie had a great time. Wayne's dog (Blair) is a sweetheart and perfect host. Sophie looks forward to her next visit. A+”

“Jennifer and her family were so welcoming of our sweet girl. We have never boarded before and were very concerned & skeptical of just dropping her off with someone we didn’t know. Jennifer made this process very easy for us and responded to text/calls promptly. She was well taken care of and we were certainly pleased. Gypsy will definitely be returning in the future. Thank you so much Jennifer!!!”

About: I have been a dedicated dog owner since I was 23 years old, and caring for my own dog has given me daily hands-on experience with feeding routines, walks, playtime, basic training, and maintaining a safe and structured environment. I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel confident and secure when leaving their dog with someone else. I offer a calm home environment with personalized attention, and I only accept a limited number of dogs at a time to ensure safety and comfort. I share my home with my own dog, Dobby, a 7-year-old neutered male pitbull. He is calm, friendly, and well-socialized. For everyone’s safety, I require up-to-date vaccinations and always schedule a meet & greet before confirming bookings to make sure both dogs are comfortable together. I prioritize supervision and a structured environment at all times. My goal is to make every dog feel relaxed, cared for, and truly at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I am home most of the time. Dogs in my care are rarely left alone and receive consistent supervision, scheduled walks, playtime, and structured feeding routines. I prioritize providing a calm and stable environment where your dog will feel safe and attended to throughout the day. I live in a house with a securely fenced yard where dogs can safely play and exercise. My home environment is calm, clean, and structured. I share my home with my neutered, well-socialized dog, and all interactions are supervised. If needed, I am able to separate dogs to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort. I require up-to-date vaccinations and always schedule a meet & greet prior to confirming bookings to ensure a good fit.

I’m happy to watch pets in their own home since most animals feel safest and most relaxed in their familiar space. I follow your routines closely, keep things calm and clean, and make sure your pet gets all the love, playtime, and attention they’re used to. I can also crate if needed and will always keep you updated with photos and messages.
About: Since childhood, I’ve always cared for dogs. After losing my beloved dog, I’ve longed to feel that special connection again, and I’m ready to give your pup the love they deserve. I work part-time, so I can take your dog out during the morning shift or lunch breaks, ensuring they get the attention they deserve while you’re at work. My home is pet-friendly with a secure, fenced yard where dogs can roam freely and safely. I provide the same care and attention when walking dogs in their own home, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved in a familiar environment.
About: I have taken care of dogs for well over 30 years . Raised, Trained , Bred Newfoundland . Showing AKC registered Newfoundlands and Great Danes . Provided Newfoundland bred rescue with Newfoundland Club of America for several years I’m currently retired, available 24 / 7 To care for your fur babies , preferably in my home . Day care available for young puppies to our old veterans. I have a fenced yard, also a small cement pond ! (In ground pool ) for play. Also able to exercise your fur babies with walks .
About: Although most people see this as a job, i see pet-sitting as a fun and exciting opportunity to make new friends all with their own personalities:)! Seeing as i don’t really find myself going out much now-a-days, pet sitting seems like the only right option needed to be taken way sooner. I believe in everyone having their own schedules for their babies, so i try to keep their routines to allow more comfort for all parties.

“April 23 - 23, 2026 Once again, Wayne's dog sitting was on point!! I received daily updates via pictures of how my boy, Bear, was doing. Like I said before, I would highly recommend Wayne as a perfect dog sitter. Wayne has officially become my go-to dog sitter. Thanks again.”
“It was so nice to meet Dave. First time user of this sight and was put right at ease with how comforting Dave made my shih tzu feel at home in his home. Dave sent photos throughout the day which also helped me know he was being attentive and loving to my boy. I feel they made a bond that now I can work with and know my Cody will not only be comfortable...but happy beside his new friend Dave when I am not around. I will be calling on him again and would recommend him to anyone who is hesitant to use a "stranger" to watch their precious loved one. In moments, with the manner that Dave conducts himself, they will be fast friends.”
“Luke and Melody seemed to have had a great time. They were even freshly bathed when I picked them up. Jessica and her husband are really good with dogs and I won't hesitate to book another stay for my fur kids.”

“Damaris was amazing for our kitten! His first stay away from our family was so great with the updates we got and attention he received throughout his stay. Damaris was super accommodating and very sweet — definitely rebooking when needed! 🫶🏻”
“Nika loved staying with Marion! She was very well taken care of and I'm so happy that I found Marion. She made my puppy feel very welcome and she kept me updated with the cutest pictures, so I didn't have to worry about Nika. When we came back, Nika was really happy to see us but also kind of sad to leave her new friend. She was also very tired after her little vacation and she slept great through the night! We will definitely leave Nika with Marion again in the future, we know our puppy will be safe and surrounded by great people. Marion was also very accommodating and it was very easy to set up meet-and-greet and drop-off and pick-up times. Her house is very well set up for dog boarding and that was a huge plus! Nika was able to hang out in a nice fenced back yard. I definitely recommend Marion to anybody who is anxious about leaving their dog even for couple of days - Nika is my baby and I understand the struggle!”
“Our pets were in ThBest Hands. She is very professional y love our pets very much. Our pets learned from her to love her and her family in very short time because of their sweet and kind treatment to them. I recommend her to other 100% . Excellent Marvelous Amazing about everything!”

About: I have used Rover for my fur baby, and was very impressed. Now I get to stay home and love on my fur baby, and I am looking forward to taking care of your fur baby. To add, I have been taking care of dogs from the age 12, and have experience with pets with special needs. Look forward to meeting you and your baby! I am home everyday and can cater to the needs of your fur baby! They will be watched closely, and will enjoy their time here while you are away. During your pets stay, I will make sure they take a potty break every 2 hours, unless specified in your care routine. Your pet will also enjoy play time if allowed, and basic trainings , such as stay, sit, and lay down. Any special requests will be attended to accordingly with pleasure.
About: I have been walking and boarding dogs for 5 years, gaining experience with a variety of breeds, including large dogs in my household. Currently, I am in the process of becoming a certified dog trainer, and I will be working part-time in this role in the meantime. I have some days off during the week and occasionally on weekends to care for dogs. I am available anytime from 9 AM to 5 PM. If you need earlier availability, please feel free to reach out and request it. I want to assure you that I will be very respectful and responsible while caring for your pup at your home and in mine. I will not touch or look at anything other than items related to the dogs. All I ask is that the dog items are well-maintained and that their food and water bowls are clean. I will walk and feed your dog according to your specific instructions, giving them plenty of love while you’re away. Additionally, I always make sure they are clean and have enough water, especially since we’re in Florida! 😄
About: Dogs have been my passion since early age. I‘ve been taking care of pups born in my house and rescue ones. My neighbors and friends have relied on me and my son to watch for their pups overnight, for weeks and months. We make sure they are loved in a safe environment. I’m at home so all babies are watched and cared for all the time. Take them for long walks in the mornings and early evenings and frequently out to pee in between walks. I have a fenced yard, friendly dogs and one cat to keep your pup company. Safe and quiet neighborhood in beautiful Miami Shores. They won’t want to leave!
About: I have been a dedicated dog owner since I was 23 years old, and caring for my own dog has given me daily hands-on experience with feeding routines, walks, playtime, basic training, and maintaining a safe and structured environment. I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel confident and secure when leaving their dog with someone else. I offer a calm home environment with personalized attention, and I only accept a limited number of dogs at a time to ensure safety and comfort. I share my home with my own dog, Dobby, a 7-year-old neutered male pitbull. He is calm, friendly, and well-socialized. For everyone’s safety, I require up-to-date vaccinations and always schedule a meet & greet before confirming bookings to make sure both dogs are comfortable together. I prioritize supervision and a structured environment at all times. My goal is to make every dog feel relaxed, cared for, and truly at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I am home most of the time. Dogs in my care are rarely left alone and receive consistent supervision, scheduled walks, playtime, and structured feeding routines. I prioritize providing a calm and stable environment where your dog will feel safe and attended to throughout the day. I live in a house with a securely fenced yard where dogs can safely play and exercise. My home environment is calm, clean, and structured. I share my home with my neutered, well-socialized dog, and all interactions are supervised. If needed, I am able to separate dogs to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort. I require up-to-date vaccinations and always schedule a meet & greet prior to confirming bookings to ensure a good fit.
