Pet Sitters in Volusia County, FL

James

If we could give James extra stars, we absolutely would! We loved having him as our dog sitter. He sent us daily photos and videos, and it was clear from our dog's behavior in them how much she liked him. We highly recommend James and hope to have him back soon! 10/10!

Michael

Michael and his daughter are wonderful guests. Michael had a tour of duty in DC, so they both spent a lot of time in the city exploring his old haunts. Cinderella and Max seemed well cared-for, but seemed only present during meal times despite their normally social tendencies. They were super clean, very communicative, and we would welcome them back with hopes that our cats would choose to engage more.

Sarah & Gabriel

Sarah and Gabriel were the standout candidates for our house sit and our labradoodle Izzy took to them immediately. We feel they took good care of Izzy and our home while we were gone. We enjoyed the periodic texts of their activities together and the photos of Izzy. But we were somewhat disappointed on our return. The house was not as clean as we had left it. Some of our simple requests were not followed and we came home to find the air conditioning running with the windows open. Overall we felt that they did a good job, but I think next time we would be more specific with cleaning and exit procedures.

Karen

Karen was kind and uncomplicated. She was flexible with our needs, and I had no concerns about our home or cat. This was our first pet sitter, and she made a wonderful first impression for us! Thanks, Karen!

Lyn

What a job she did!!! We were on a cruise when hurricane Ian hit Florida. Lyn not only took care of our animals, but our house as well. Parts of our house were flooded, and Lyn went above and beyond saving furniture, rugs, etc. while keeping our animals safe, dry, calm and happy. She contacted us often letting us know how things were faring. She was wonderful and went far above and way beyond for us. We are so grateful she was here. We can't thank her enough.

Anastasia

Anastasia, you and your family were incredible and we just loved and felt so comfortable with you all right away!! You had to do more than you expected taking care of our puppy that is having a hard time potty training and you were amazing with him!! The sweetest videos and updates and we can't thank you enough!!! Such a treat to get to meet you all!

Jasmin

Jaz was great! She was very communicative before and during the sit. She took great care of our dog and he seemed to be very happy with her. There was a very small issue during the sit, but she was extremely apologetic and was much more concerned about it than we were. Would definitely recommend her for future sits!

Anna & Yana

Anna and her child are a housesitter dream team! Anna had very good communication before, during and after her stay. We arrived back after 5 days and our pets were happier than when we left. Our home, plants and plethora of critters were all very well taken care of. She sent pics each day of all the animals and gave us regular updates. We would have them back in a heartbeat to look after our home and pets again!

Barbara ( Bobbie )

Bobbi & Paul were excellent sitters! They arrived the day before we left, so we were able to get to know them a little better. They are very nice responsible people who love animals. We know they treated our two dogs like their own because our boys were very happy and healthy when we returned. They kept in touch with us while we were gone and sent us some pictures of them. We had a nice surprise when we got home. They left us a framed picture of our boys that they had taken….very nice touch! We highly recommend Bobbi & Paul to take care of your home and pets, and we hope that they’ll sit for us again in the future.

Adriana

Adriana was so amazing, we feel really fortunate to have connected with her in time for our most recent trip. She not only took excellent care of all our pets (two dogs and three cats) she was in contact with us via text/pictures and upon return she left the house cleaner than when she arrived! She’s really a wonderful person, we’d be happy to have her house/pet sit anytime.

kara

Kara took great care of Reggie, Belle and the house.

Olivia

Olivia did a great job caring for our two large dogs and our home while we were away. We would definitely invite her again.

Matt

Sara was a great sitter for our cat Peach. We were gone for 10 days and Sara kept us updated on Peach and the household. When we returned, the house was clean! Thank you Sara!

Rosie

We had a fabulous three weeks in Teddington. Bentley was a great dog to look after and he really enjoyed playing with our three boys. Very spacious house close to the river and parks. Thanks to Rosie & Edwin for being so welcoming.

Adrian

Seamus is a very cute and extremely affectionate and loving dog! The flat is gorgeous and well located with a wonderful roof terrace from which you can enjoy the sunshine and cuddles with Seamus. 
Adrian and Steph and their girls are all super welcoming and accommodating. I arrived the night before they went away and was warmly welcomed with homemade dinner!
Definitely recommend. Thanks again for a great stay.

Rebecca

Rebecca & her family couldn't be more lovely. Totally welcoming, loads of fun and very kind and considerate. Lovely house, lovely location and Rudy is a big bundle of love. Thanks for having us guys!

Emma

Emma is wonderful to work with. Plenty of communication and will provide the needed details and additional things to do and see around the area.

Kobe is very loving and each day he wanted more and more attention from me. It was sweet to see me growing on him. Very easy going and loves to sunbath hahaha

Yalda

Simba and Maurice are two easygoing pets who make sitting easy and pleasant - Simba's super affectionate and is always there for you, and as past sitters have mentioned, very active; Maurice minds his own business at most times, but is also very affectionate and likes being around people.
Yalda was super helpful by giving us all the necessary info about the pets and the city. The apartment is incredibly well located, making it possible to do everything by foot in the city.
We couldn't have asked for a better first experience.

Alicia

Very well behaved doggo. Walks very well on leash and behaves well at home. Comfortable and clean house. Easy and efficient communication from the host. Highly recommend Alicia.
