Rani is a sweet gal with a willing spirit. She was patient with my dog and successful with the walk (my dog was putting her head down and not wanting to go forward) It was the perfect midday break. Sweet Pea got a walk, human company and potty relief. I’m so glad we found Rani to help. I recommend her wholeheartedly

Jessica is awesome! I’m very nervous leaving my dog in the hands of anyone especially a new person. She is so wonderful and my dog loves her! She always sends pictures and updates me on his mood after every walk. Can’t recommend her enough.

Sarah was awesome dropping in to walk our older dog, Boo. She was so patient in easing her initial anxiety and taking cues from her on where and how long to walk.

Allyssa is very easy to communicate and care our dog a lot. Before she starts the foster walk, she asked in detail for things need to know. She always arrive on time and always walk the dog for our agreed length of time. Highly recommend her!

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 12 years old, so I have over a decade of experience under my belt! I mostly do dogs and cats but I use to work at PetSmart so I am capable of taking care of other exotics if need be. I use to help train service dogs for a non-profit company, so I love to work with animals on training if you want me to work on that! I graduated with a biology major at UCF, focusing on zoology and animal behavior so I am good at reading what an animal needs or if there are any issues. I have administered medication with pets before as well. Family, friends, and word of mouth have gotten me many pet sitting jobs with my expertise. I love animals and it truly shows when I take care of your pet while you are away. I love to stimulate a dog both mentally and physically. I typically walk dog 2x a day and love to play enriching games with them with things as simple as toilet paper rolls, etc! I am open to a long-term schedule or just letting your pet out once or twice while you are away. I have done both in the past and am very flexible!

Our dog was supper happy and calm when we got home after Tori walked him and spent time with him. I can see he had a great time with her! She was also easy to communicate with. I would request her services again in the future, and recommend her to other dog owners.

About: Hi! I’m a free-spirited, animal lover who adores meeting the personalities of every pet I meet. I grew up with dogs, pet sitting for many families, and have two cats of my own—they’ve taught me patience, intuition, and how to love in twenty different languages. I’m caring, empathetic, and creative. I adore animal snuggles, slow blinks, tail wags, and the tiny quirks that make your pet who they are. As a student with breaks in my day, I float in and out of campus life—leaving plenty of time for drop-ins, playtime, and meaningful moments with your fur baby. And if you love photos, I’ve got you. I can’t help myself, they’re too cute! I want your pets to be cared for the way I want mine to be cared for 💕🐈🐶 I am currently a full time medical student. Which means I can drop in before, between, or after classes, and definitely on the weekends. Preferably not too late. I will follow whatever directions you leave me and whatever boundaries your pets set with me. I am happy to try to keep their routines what they prefer and keep them feeling safe and loved.

About: I grew up with cocker spaniel pups most of my childhood, caring for them from newborn and on! As an adult, my husband and I adopted two dogs and loved them as our children into their old age. I'm adept at given meds and adjusting to older age. We've had pets of all sizes but do prefer to board 80 lbs and under :) My schedule is pretty flexible as I work/volunteer part time! I can make a variety of things work, even if it may be relatively short notice. I have a nice sized fenced in yard that your pups will love running around in! I will care for them like they are my own. I only accept boarding from one client at a time (can do multiple pups from the same home) but I do occassionally take a dog for a day care visit. (Please let me know if this is not advisable during your pup's stay.)

About: I’ve been caregiver for dogs, cats, exotics and farm animals over the last 9 years. Feeding, walking, medications, medical treatments, enrichment, waste cleanup and brushing/nails. I work Part time on Fri-Sun at my other job. However, I have the flexibility to take an hour lunch to do potty breaks. Given the pet is within a reasonable distance this has worked for many of my clients. I will follow the client’s requests given for a pet’s care and additional tasks if necessary. Cleanup, grooming, waste cleanup of yard, bathing, nail trims. I NEVER bring other people into your home. I respect the clients privacy and only go into the areas necessary.

About: Hi! My name is Jamie, and I am a crazy animal person! I have been working in the animal industry since 2012, but I have owned and cared for all sorts of animals my whole life. I am a veterinary technician, so I am comfortable caring for pets that need medications, even for the pets that can be a bit of a challenge. I am a very active person, so if your pet prefers a jog/run instead of a walk, I am happy to accommodate. I am very comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments and adjusting to their needs. I am also happy to stop in and take care of feline companions(including medicating). I can’t wait to make your furry friend my furry friend!
