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 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.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes for over 5 years. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets as if they were my own. I’m experienced with energetic puppies who need lots of playtime as well as senior dogs who require patience and gentle care. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities, and I treat every pet like family. I’m available for pet care from 8am to 3pm on weekdays, which gives me plenty of time to focus on walks, drop-in visits, and playtime. Since I don’t offer boarding, I make sure the time I spend with your pets is filled with attention, exercise, and care so their daily routine stays consistent and happy.

Bri absolutely saved us. She stepped in last minute to watch our dogs while we were away and was fantastic from start to finish. Communication was easy and reassuring, she was reliable, and it was clear our dogs were well cared for and comfortable the whole time. Coming home to happy pups made all the difference. We’re incredibly grateful and would trust Bri again in a heartbeat.
Amanda was AMAZING with our cat! She was our savior last minute! She provided us with great photos, report card and communicated efficiently! She takes care of pets like they are her own! We felt at ease and never once had a doubt or drop of anxiety that lot of pet parents feel! Thank you Amanda!
Katie did a fantastic job caring for our two dogs. She was 100% reliable, prompt, and followed all of our instructions “to a T”. But most importantly, the dogs absolutely loved her — and that is saying a lot because they are both rescues (of course!) and our boy is actually very fearful and timid around new people. It was clear from the first meeting that Katie knows how to read canine body language and win over even scared or wary dogs. I felt totally comfortable leaving my babies in her capable hands, and she did not disappoint. She also assisted with the senior paraplegic foster dog we were caring for at the time of her visits, and was very capable of helping him to stand up and go potty using his special back-end lift harness, which can be a challenge for some people to get used to. In general, Katie went above and beyond and was super flexible and willing to accommodate our somewhat unusual needs. I wholeheartedly recommend her, as a loving, gentle, responsible and fully competent caretaker for dogs or cats of all ages, temperaments, and sizes. This is the pet sitter you want when only the best will do for your beloved four-legged family members!!
We used Kristine for the first time yesterday and could not be more pleased! She was punctual and very good with our dogs and was even kind enough to send us a picture of them doing well. I would highly recommend her to anyone wishing that their fur babies are taken such good care of!
Harmony was wonderful with our pup! He can be a little daunting at first with his big bark but that didn’t bother her at all. She was so sweet with him, and honestly we were so happy that we found someone who just instantly understood him. She let us know when she was on the way, when she arrived, and when she was headed out - couldn’t have asked for better communication, and we’re really excited that our pup will have a new friend! 100% recommend her! :)
Hired Frank for a drop in visit prior to his upcoming house sitting job. He communicated prior to and after the visit. He followed instructions and assured me the dogs were okay (although my younger pup wouldn’t go out potty this time). I can tell that Frank wants to do a good job in caring for my dogs.
