What Our Team Members Say
Meet Lindsay
I’ve been working for Paws Sitting Service for nearly a year, and it’s quickly become one of the most rewarding parts of my life. Spending my days caring for pets, getting outside, and building trust with both animals and their owners has been such a fulfilling experience. At home, I’m a proud cat mom to two kitties who keep life fun and full of personality. Working with animals every day truly makes this a job I look forward to.
What do you love most about working for Paws Sitting Service?
Meeting all kinds of different animals and getting to experience their unique personalities. Every visit is different, and I love building trust with each pet in my care—whether they’re playful, shy, cuddly, or full of energy.
Meet Charlie
I’ve been a pet Mom and pet Grandma for over 20 years, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I truly enjoy nurturing and caring for your furry family members and ensuring they feel loved and comfortable while you’re away.
What do you love most about working for Paws Sitting Service?
The pets themselves—and all of their cute, unique personalities! Every pet has their own little quirks, and I love getting to know what makes each one special.
Meet Mandy
I’ve lived in the Destin area since 1979 and have called my home in Miramar Beach for the past 26 years. I graduated from the University of West Florida in Pensacola and have always loved the beautiful coastal lifestyle, especially spending time on the water and boating. I’m also a proud dog aunt to Gunner, a standard poodle, who has given me plenty of experience with the love and personality that dogs bring to our lives.
What do you love most about working for Paws Sitting Service?
Spending time with the animals! I especially love how excited they get when I arrive. There’s nothing better than being greeted by a happy pet who is excited to see you!
