About: I've rescued four senior dogs and have done a lot of work to rehabilitate them physically and mentally. (one dog in home currently) I would love to come walk your fur child if you can't get home from work on time or if you need an overnight care situation - I got you! I keep your dog separate from my dog always, just to avoid any accidents! Currently working full time so I'm available after hours or weekends only. Would love to do a drop in at your place or an overnight if you needed, too. I live in a condo so I'm only able to visit you for drop-ins or sitting/walking services. I know when I go out of town, I hope to find someone just like me to care for my babes. You can trust I'll spend the time and share the most love.
“Bri was amazing!!! She took such good care of my little doggie. So kind and loving. She sent me lots of updates and photos. I highly recommend Bri! I don’t live in the area but if I ever come here again I will definitely ask Bri to babysit Gigi again! She’s the best!”
“Kathleen was amazing. Highly recommend her. Very professional and treated Charlie as if ihe was her own dog. Very knowledgeable and made sure she understood my needs and Charlie’s. She’s the best!”
About: I started working with animals back in 2006 at the humane society of Broward county and have always loved working with them. Dogs/cats. Ive also worked at different vet hospitals throughout my career. I've worked as Kennel staff as well as vet tech work and assisting the Veterinary Doctor I work part time right now, and love animals so I thought why not pet sit for people that need the help. I have availability and always love meeting new dogs and cats and becoming friends. I make sure the doors are closed so the dogs and or cats cannot escape. I always use a leash again for the safety of the animals. We dont need any dogs getting loose. :)
About: I've dogsat for family friends and grown up with animals. I live with 2 cats so I’m very familiar with animal behavior. My schedule is the same every week and I am able to work around my schedule to dogsit. I usually have nights off and am available to stay anywhere overnight and have reliable transportation. I feel as though caring for animals when they are without their parents is very important. Making sure they are fed, let out, properly exercised and played with and loved. I have a very open schedule so I’m willing to do anytime that works for you. I am always willing to work with your needs. I always take extra care to make sure you feel safe keeping your animals with me. I know how precious our animals are to us!
About: Hello! I'm Diana, and I am passionate about providing the best care for your beloved pets. What makes me unique is my lifelong experience and heartfelt dedication to animal welfare. Having had dogs my entire life, I have developed a deep understanding and love for our canine companions. I specialize in training puppies and offering compassionate care for senior dogs, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and happy. In addition to my personal experience, my full-time job involves caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, fish, hamsters, bunnies, guinea pigs, turtles, and more. This diverse experience has equipped me with the skills to cater to the unique needs of different animals, making me a versatile and knowledgeable pet sitter. When you entrust your pets to me, you can rest assured they will be treated like family. I am committed to creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where every pet feels at home. Whether it's playtime, mealtime, or just some extra cuddles, I am here to ensure your pets receive the love and attention they deserve. I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or scaly, or feathered) friends and providing them with exceptional care. Let's make tails wag and hearts happy together! I currently work full-time Monday to Friday, but I am available to help early mornings and evenings, as well as overnight and all day on weekends. When caring for a pet, I prioritize both warmth and safety to ensure your pet feels comfortable and secure. I begin by establishing a routine that closely mirrors their usual schedule, including feeding times, walks, and playtime, to provide a sense of familiarity and stability. I ensure the home environment is safe by checking for any potential hazards and keeping dangerous items out of reach. During our time together, I offer plenty of affection, gentle handling, and positive reinforcement to build trust and make your pet feel loved. I also stay attentive to your dog/cat health, monitoring for any signs of distress or discomfort and keeping you updated on their well-being. With my dedicated care, your dog will enjoy a safe, nurturing, and happy experience in the comfort of their own home.
“Excellent care of my fur babies while we were away for 2 weeks. Beatrice provided daily updates on how they were doing, I could not have felt more comfortable with how she cared for Blue and Mushu.”
“Tracy is great! She took such good care of our Chloe, who just had surgery before we vacationed for a week. She always kept in touch and sent pictures of our girl. And she also was a very good house sitter as well. Our home was the same as when we left. I highly recommend Tracy to care for your fur babies.”
About: Hi! I have worked in the vet field for 4 years and have been professionally pet sitting for 2 years. With my 4 years of vet experience I have wide knowledge of vet care and have dealt with many different patients all shapes and sizes. I have experience administering meds like insulin, eye/ear drops, injections, ointments, and oral meds. From puppies/kittens to our beloved senior citizens, I have dealt with it all. I only bathe if it is medically required by your veterinarian. I DO NOT HANDLE ANY AGGRESSIVE PATIENTS. I work full time at a vets office. I work 4 days a week, I am off on weekends and my typical off day is Wednesday during the week. If you are within 10-15 minutes of my vet clinic I will spend my lunch break with your baby and I will be there right after work and if I am staying the I will be there until I leave for work in the morning which is typically around 7:00-7:30 depending on distance. Your pet will never be alone for more than 5 hours on the days I work. I get off work typically between 6:00-6:30. I do not like to watch pets at my house because I have a dog which I have to find a relative to take him if I have to utilize my house and I find that pets are the most comfortable in their own home. My clients usually like me to stay at their house. When that is the case my husband will stay home with our dog so I can stay at the clients home. I require a free meet and greet before hand so I can learn the routine and make sure your pet is comfortable and feels safe with me.

It’s hard to capture everything in a short review, but I cannot say enough about how incredible Kaitlin was. We left our home and our dog for an extended period, and Kaitlin’s attention to detail was unmatched. During our initial meet-and-greet, she asked thoughtful questions that allowed her to truly exceed our expectations. Beyond the wonderful care and affection she gave our dog, we returned to a home that was actually cleaner and more inviting than we left it. Kaitlin is a true professional who clearly loves what she does. She will be our first call every time we travel. With her being this good, we just hope that she will actually be available!
Tracy was amazing with my 4 dogs and came through for me at the last minute. She also kept an eye on the house while I was gone and notified me of an expected visitor that drove into my property. My dogs loved her and she went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable with her. Thanks for taking such good care of them!
Olivia took such great care of my two dogs while I was away last minute on a trip. One dog was a Great Dane foster who I was very nervous to leave with someone as she is a special needs case and a handful. Olivia had no problems and I felt totally at ease with constant pictures and updates. I highly recommend using Olivia and will use her again in the future!
Sofia was truly amazing with my dog, Socks. He was pretty down and missing me while I was away, but she was so patient and loving with him. She really took the time to comfort my boy with lots of snuggles, quiet company, and just letting him feel whatever he was feeling without rushing him. It meant so much to know he was being cared for so gently. He really is a gentle giant :) She also kept me in the loop the whole time with photos and videos, which made such a difference since I was missing him just as much. I'm so grateful for Sofia! She clearly loves what she does, and Socks was really lucky to have her! 100/10 would recommend Sofia to anyone!!
We recently used Rover for the first time with Colleen. We were looking for care for our senior dog Joey and our cat Onyx while we were away. Joey needs daily medication and extra attention due to his age and health, and he wasn’t feeling well when we left, so we were a bit anxious. Overall, we were pleased with the care our pets received. Colleen was reliable, followed instructions carefully, and ensured Joey got his medications on time. She also took great care of Onyx, making sure both pets were comfortable and their routines were maintained. The updates and photos she sent were very much appreciated and helped ease our minds during the trip. While Joey was still a bit under the weather when we returned, it was clear he had been thoughtfully looked after. We're grateful for the support and would feel comfortable using Colleen again.
