“Taylor was great! She provided updates each day Clover was there and Clover warmed up to her quickly! Taylor is so kind and reliable. I'm looking forward to bringing Clover back and, hopefully, my pup, Flora!”
“Austin was so great with our dog. At first I was hesitant about leaving her with anyone as it was her first time out with someone we didn't know. Austin helped reassure us she would be just fine. He kept updating me how she was adjusting and sending pictures. She looked so happy her night there and was even hesitant to leave when I came to pick her up the following morning. I can tell she had a blast and we will be definitely using Austin in the future. I recommend for anyone looking to use a reliable sitter for your pup.”
“Rebekah was very patient and kind with my very stressed and grouchy Shih Tzu. He’s 15 and we’d just traveled up from Florida. We arrived late in the evening and she told us not to worry. She sent pictures and kept me informed on how my fur baby was doing. I would highly recommend using Rebekah!”
“Fantastic dog sitter! She is compassionate and takes fantastic care of your pet. My dog was happy and comfortable the entire time she was away and the level of care is even better than a professional facility. She even sends daily pictures and videos and that is great when missing your pup. Next time I need to leave my dog I will definitely be sending her back over Nathalias!!”
“Kevin was very accommodating on a last minute booking. Our dog came home happy and tired! Kevin sent pictures and videos. He has a great fenced yard with plenty of grass. We will definitely trust him with our dog next time we need a sitter.”
“Justine was a phenomenal sitter! We had a bit of a last minute need for a sitter and couldn’t be more happy with our experience. Justine was attentive, helpful, and incredibly friendly. We had so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog Violet got along so well with her Piper, and they definitely became fast friends. Cannot recommend her enough!”
“Kathy treated our Pete like one of her own, we felt very comfortable knowing he was happy and being well taken care of. We will definitely leave Pete with Kathy again, we highly recommend her!”
“We are so grateful Michelle was available to care for our extremely large puppy Willow. It gave us peace of mind to enjoy an unexpected overnight away. Willow played a lot, Michelle sent pictures and updates, and communication was great!”
“Jen and Jon were wonderful sitters for our dog. This was the first time leaving her with a sitter and they made me feel very comfortable. I could tell Tootsie was well taken care of and receiving lots of love with each daily update. Drop off and pick up was easy and Jen responded quickly to any questions I had.”
“Melissa was awesome always updating me about mickey . She made him feel comfortable and even thought he had a few accidents she was very understanding and respectful. I highly recommend her and will definitely book her again. Thank you Melissa you were amazing”
About: I’ve been working in the veterinary field for 5 years. All my life I had a soft spot for animals. Big or small. I would be the perfect person to babysit ( yes I said baby sit because they are our fur babies ) your pet because your pet would have my FULL attention. I will treat your pet as if he or she was my own. Animals hold a special place in my heart. Every time I see one it’s like love at 1st sight. “When I look into the eyes of an animal, I do not see an animal, I see a living being, I see a friend, I feel a soul” I do work at a vet hospital, I will try to rearrange my schedule the best I can ! And when I’m not working I will be with your pet ! I will care for your pet as if he/she is my own. From experience I know pets get flustered when routines are messed up just like we do ! I will follow any routine you have so they don’t miss a beat.

She sent pics and updates and it was like he was at his home away from home. I'd recommend Amanda without question to anyone!”

Maisy received lots of love and attention with long walks, fun games, snuggle time, and belly rubs - all of it right by Kari’s side ❤️ I received lots of photos and updates along the way, this was a match made in heaven, we would love to come back next summer!”
“Jennifer was amazing. Highly recommend hiring her to watch your pet. Communication was flawless from start to finish, and she was always incredibly quick to respond to my text updates. I loved receiving the photos she sent throughout the weekend, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She truly went above and beyond to make my dog feel at home. She spent time playing fetch—my dog's absolute favorite game—and was highly observant and adaptable when Daisy interacted with her own two dogs, ensuring all the pups felt safe and comfortable. To top it all off, she even sent my dog home with a toy she had fallen in love with during her stay. I will absolutely be booking her again!”
“Amanda and her family were a perfect place for Finn while we traveled. I got frequent pictures and updates on how Finn was doing. Amanda has a fenced in back yard in which Finn had daily supervised playtimes. Highly recommend Amanda and will use her again for boarding Finn.”

“Angela & Adam had great professional holiday energy for my senior kitties.

“Austin was Amazing! He took Coco at the last minute and helped me through my first use of Rover. I appreciate him so much! He treated Coco so well and sent pictures during the day. Austin was very patient with puppy behaviors and was polite and respectful during our time with him. I felt safe leaving our puppy with Austin and would recommend him highly.”

About: Our mission is to offer people a simple, affordable option for boarding their pets: to keep them fed, safe and company while you're away. There's nothing worse than doubling the price of your vacation just to get your pets looked after! We keep our boarding price more than reasonable to give folks the financial bandwidth to spend their vacation money on their vacation--not on boarding their pets. We are both contract workers with flexible schedules, and Taylor is often able to work from home so your pets will have plenty of companionship! So we told you our mission-- There's a few ways this translates. We have a huge yard. So, we don't take your pups on walks. BUT. We play fetch, tug of war, and intentionally initiate zoomies. If your pup is conditioned to expect walks, it's probably most fair to find a sitter who'll get that walk in! We love a good daytime cuddle, but we also like a good night's rest. So, your pets sleep in the living room, helping us avoid chaos while we're getting shut-eye. We kindly ask that if you book with us, that you're confident your doggies can sleep out on their own without too much fuss! We have an array of options for creating ideal environments for your pets, with baby gates, a large yard that can be segmented for dogs needing smaller spaces or space from others, and multiple kennels. Coming soon, an electric fence with an extra collar for your pup if you'd like it!
“Kevin was very respectful and extremely good at communicating. Easy to book with as well. Plenty of room for the dogs to play, it was my dogs first day of any kind of interactions with large groups of dogs and Kevin made it very easy for her. He took his time introducing her to the other dogs, and allowed her to relax on her own time. She came home tired and chill, just what she needed. One thing I like about Kevin as a sitter is that he works with my schedule, and odd hours. Most places are not flexible and difficult for picking up and dropping off. His location is easy to get to. I will be booking again.”

About: Graduate Student & Lifelong Dog Lover 🐾 Hi, I’m Molly! I’m a graduate student in Early Education studying full-time remotely, and walking dogs helps me make ends meet while I gain classroom experience. I’ve been a dog owner and sitter for 20+ years, with experience caring for all breeds and ages—from energetic puppies to senior dogs. I live with my friendly 1.5-year-old Basenji, Reggie, and we walk daily (rain or shine!). I’d love to find regular clients for early morning walks (4:30–6:30 AM) or after 2:30 PM, but I’m also available for same-day, one-off check-ins and walks when you need last-minute help. I’m responsible, active, and treat every pup like family. 🐶💛 Flexible & Reliable Pet Care – Full-Time Availability I offer part-time availability for pet care. Morning walks are part of our daily routine—typically between 5 AM and 8 AM and ranging from 0.5 to 1.5 miles. In the afternoon, I provide a potty break, followed by an evening walk of 0.5 to 1 mile. This schedule works well for my own dog, Reggie, and any pup we’re hosting. I'm available for the below between 3PM and 10PM Scheduled or short-notice dog walks Drop-in visits Daily or multiple-times-a-day walks Weekly routines or one-time services Short-notice check-ins (with a fair, convenience-based fee) Whether your dog needs regular walks, occasional visits, or last-minute help, I'm here to provide safe, loving, and dependable care. Safety-First, Thoughtful Pet Care in a Calm and Controlled Environment For every pet care job—whether it’s dog walking, drop-in visits, or in-home hosting—I approach each responsibility with a safety-first mindset. I begin by assessing the environment, checking for any potential hazards, and observing the dog's temperament, energy level, and overall health to ensure they’re set up for a positive experience. I come fully prepared with all the essentials: leashes, treats, food (if needed), cozy beds and blankets, separate water bowls, poop bags, and anything else your pup might need to feel safe and comfortable. I believe dogs thrive in calm, predictable environments. As the walker or sitter, I take the lead in maintaining a peaceful, structured atmosphere where your dog can feel secure, enjoy their time, and have fun—all while staying under steady and attentive supervision.
“Anna took amazing care of my high-energy and sometimes nervous dog, Opal. She went out of the way to make sure Opal could get acclimated with her own dog. Receiving a couple updates and photos during my dog’s stay put me at ease! Opal can’t wait to go back!”
“Darren and his family took great care of my Luna … who rarely leaves my side. They were flexible with my schedule and were kind and loving with my girl. When I picked her up she was wagging her tail. I plan to use them whenever we are in Jensen Beach.”

About: I have been around dogs and other animals, everything from chickens to guinea pigs, my whole life! I have pet sit for many friends and family members in the past. I love playing with my fur babies and am great with any size dog. I also love to teach/reinforce new tricks and basic obedience training, just let me know what commands you use!

“Tara truly is phenomenal. My puppy destroyed a few of the stimulation toys I left but Tara was ready to improvise with some snuff mats she generously let my doggies borrow. It’s such a relief to know my dogs are so well cared for when I am gone. Her photos are also pretty hilarious :D”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 15! I’ve had pets all my life growing up though! My neighbors, friends, and family, have relied on me to feed, walk, play, and give cuddles to their pups! I currently am working part time as I just started a new job, so i’ll have plenty of time to play with your pup and get them some exercise! My home has a fenced in dog park that i’m sure your dog would love to run around in and get some energy out! If your dog is better on a leash and loves to walk and sniff around your area I am happy to do that as well! I just want to be able to give your pup a safe and happy visit 😊
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was 15! Dogs, cats, ferrets, rabbits, and fish from all breads and ages, big or small. I take care in bathing, grooming, feeding, and walking! I am currently a full-time college student so I am only available during holiday breaks and in the summer. I take care of my own pets and sisters but I love to keep busy throughout the week!! I can keep to the schedule you give me for your companion! I can give baths, play, feeding, and go on walks. I take lots of pictures and will update you on how the walk/sitting is going frequently. I know every companion has their own personality and will take the time to get to know them to make their experience with sitters a comfortable one!
“Liza is patient, communicative and professional. Our dog is nervous to new people. She greeted him in a way that was appropriate and is building his confidence to trust her and enjoy his walks. She helped me to navigate this app. We feel grateful that Nochi has someone with experience, skill and empathy.”
About: I've been looking after dogs and cats since I was 12! They've ranged from my grandma's shitzu to dog sitting mastiffs! I've even watched reptiles like ball pythons and geckos. I've walked, bathed, fed, watered, and loved them the whole time. I, myself, have 2 bunnies, fish, and a ball python. All together the most dogs I've ever watched at the same time was 28! It was 5 adults dogs, one puppy the equivalent to a toddler, and 22 puppies! I am willing to go to the cape and islands for house sitting! At the moment I'm hoping that pet care will become a full-time job. At the moment I am able to do any day and any time. I, sadly, do not have a cute puppy or kitty to play with your fur baby, however it just means they get more love from me! I can lift a 75 pound dog if needed and have the resources to contain one if necessary.
“Even when I booked last minute, they still found time to do a meet and greet. They are very professional and kind. My dog absolutely loves Adam! Great team.”
About: I have l had the responsibility of taking care of my home pets ever since I could remember. We’ve always had a full house with dogs, cats, turtles, lizards, guinea pigs, chickens, and even a macaw. I have experience with senior dogs that require extra care as I have one of my own. I have also taken a few puppy training classes that I have used on my dogs as well as pups of close friends. Most of my pets have been rescues and I was able to use those skills to break bad, destructive habits that could’ve resulted in injury. I am currently a full time college student and a part time medical assistant at an urgent care clinic. Typically, I would have the most time to commit to intensive pet care in the early mornings, early afternoons, late evenings, and weekends. My dogs are crate trained and my pets typically spend their nights in their designated areas. In the mornings everyone is opened, greeted with many pets and kisses, and fed. The dogs are walked and trained for a bit before my departure. I make sure to leave a few brain engaging toys/ treats while gone for the day. Once I return, the process is repeated with a longer evening walk and extra cuddle time. My senior dog required a bit more attention with daily injections and a specific diet. I am sure I would take care of your pet with the same care and love I give my pets.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life growing up, we had family dogs like beagles, goldendoodles, and a Shih Tzu. While living with my dad in New Bedford, I helped care for his pitbull and spent time with our goldendoodle, too.

I’m confident with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I always treat them with patience, love, and care. specialize in dog walking, cat care, and drop-in visits since I can’t host pets in my home. As a mom, I understand the importance of trust and routine, and I’ll treat your pets with the same patience, attention, and love I give my own family. Whether your dog needs a good walk or your cat just needs feeding and some playtime, I’ll make sure they’re happy, safe, and cared for. I’m all about creating a calm, safe space where pets feel loved and relaxed. I have experience handling different pet personalities and making sure they feel at home , I treat every fur baby like family with lots of love, play, and attention to their routine and comfort.
“Kayla is an absolute pleasure to work with. Her professionalism and the care she shows my 2 Siberian huskies surpasses my expectations. My pups care about her so much that they await for her arrival by the windows excitedly. Kayla is amazing and I highly recommend her.”
“Ixia does a great job with our dog, walking him more than the time required, many photos and great explanation of walk and report card. Will continue to use her to walk our dog!”
About: Growing up i had a husky and a chocolate lab a couple pit bulls amongst other animals like ferrets, ducks and plenty of cats. I live with my 9 goldfish and two male corgis mixed with Australian cattle dog, 5 and 4 year old now :) I work Monday -Fridays 7am-3pm so I would be available anytime after that during the week and on Saturday and Sundays i am flexible with the times. I look forward to spending time, exercising and playing with your fur babies I'm currently working full time during the week but at night I can take your pups out for walks or play with then in the back yard. And if you happen to have cats I can also feed and play with them too. I love all animals. I don't have boarding as an option, I do offer to stay overnights if needed. I would give your fur baby love attention just as I would give mine.
About: Animal care and working with animals is my passion, I've had pets my entire life. Friends and family say that if they ever had to have someone watch over their pets im the first person they'd go to not only to look after their pet but for advice aswell. I can't wait to meet with you and your pet, give them lots of love and all of the care they need and take them on a fun adventurous walk! You will receive frequent updates from me aswell as pictures! I'm currently available any day of the week for any time of the day! I would love to take your pet on a walk that will allow them to explore, they will be able to stop and sniff around for as long as they wanted! I would give them lots of love and play time and if you have a fenced in yard I would allow them to get all their zoomies out.

“Taylor was great! She provided updates each day Clover was there and Clover warmed up to her quickly! Taylor is so kind and reliable. I'm looking forward to bringing Clover back and, hopefully, my pup, Flora!”
“Austin was so great with our dog. At first I was hesitant about leaving her with anyone as it was her first time out with someone we didn't know. Austin helped reassure us she would be just fine. He kept updating me how she was adjusting and sending pictures. She looked so happy her night there and was even hesitant to leave when I came to pick her up the following morning. I can tell she had a blast and we will be definitely using Austin in the future. I recommend for anyone looking to use a reliable sitter for your pup.”
“Rebekah was very patient and kind with my very stressed and grouchy Shih Tzu. He’s 15 and we’d just traveled up from Florida. We arrived late in the evening and she told us not to worry. She sent pictures and kept me informed on how my fur baby was doing. I would highly recommend using Rebekah!”
“Fantastic dog sitter! She is compassionate and takes fantastic care of your pet. My dog was happy and comfortable the entire time she was away and the level of care is even better than a professional facility. She even sends daily pictures and videos and that is great when missing your pup. Next time I need to leave my dog I will definitely be sending her back over Nathalias!!”
“Kevin was very accommodating on a last minute booking. Our dog came home happy and tired! Kevin sent pictures and videos. He has a great fenced yard with plenty of grass. We will definitely trust him with our dog next time we need a sitter.”
“Justine was a phenomenal sitter! We had a bit of a last minute need for a sitter and couldn’t be more happy with our experience. Justine was attentive, helpful, and incredibly friendly. We had so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog Violet got along so well with her Piper, and they definitely became fast friends. Cannot recommend her enough!”
“We are so grateful Michelle was available to care for our extremely large puppy Willow. It gave us peace of mind to enjoy an unexpected overnight away. Willow played a lot, Michelle sent pictures and updates, and communication was great!”
“Jen and Jon were wonderful sitters for our dog. This was the first time leaving her with a sitter and they made me feel very comfortable. I could tell Tootsie was well taken care of and receiving lots of love with each daily update. Drop off and pick up was easy and Jen responded quickly to any questions I had.”
About: I’ve been working in the veterinary field for 5 years. All my life I had a soft spot for animals. Big or small. I would be the perfect person to babysit ( yes I said baby sit because they are our fur babies ) your pet because your pet would have my FULL attention. I will treat your pet as if he or she was my own. Animals hold a special place in my heart. Every time I see one it’s like love at 1st sight. “When I look into the eyes of an animal, I do not see an animal, I see a living being, I see a friend, I feel a soul” I do work at a vet hospital, I will try to rearrange my schedule the best I can ! And when I’m not working I will be with your pet ! I will care for your pet as if he/she is my own. From experience I know pets get flustered when routines are messed up just like we do ! I will follow any routine you have so they don’t miss a beat.
“Alexia was amazing! She was super sweet and very accommodating. She plenty sent pictures and updates reassuring me that all was well while I was away. My dog came back to me very happy! I will definitely be booking again.”

“Amanda is TRULY a blessing!! This is the longest we've ever been without our Black Lab Pup, Spade, and he seemed to be as comfortable as ever. Not a single worry or concern. She sent pics and updates and it was like he was at his home away from home. I'd recommend Amanda without question to anyone!”
“Kari was absolutely amazing with my dog! Maisy received lots of love and attention with long walks, fun games, snuggle time, and belly rubs - all of it right by Kari’s side ❤️ I received lots of photos and updates along the way, this was a match made in heaven, we would love to come back next summer!”
“Jennifer was amazing. Highly recommend hiring her to watch your pet. Communication was flawless from start to finish, and she was always incredibly quick to respond to my text updates. I loved receiving the photos she sent throughout the weekend, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She truly went above and beyond to make my dog feel at home. She spent time playing fetch—my dog's absolute favorite game—and was highly observant and adaptable when Daisy interacted with her own two dogs, ensuring all the pups felt safe and comfortable. To top it all off, she even sent my dog home with a toy she had fallen in love with during her stay. I will absolutely be booking her again!”
“These guys are great. They took great care of my Murmaid and sent pics and updates and everything was great. My pup is high energy so when she gets in The vehicle and immediately takes a nap I know they did a good job!! Thank you!!”
“Samantha took amazing care of my little cat and guinea pig . She was on time , commutative and showed that she really has a big heart that cares about people and their animals. I will definitely be reaching out to her again for her amazing service.”
