House Sitting in Dunnellon

“Courtney did a great job taking care of our pups. We came had some fun updates while we were gone and the dogs respond well to her. Our home was in great condition and it was obvious our pets were taken great care of…. We felt bad our cable was out all weekend and she just made due…bless her heart! We would highly recommend Courtney We will definitely use her again.”

“Emilia stayed overnight with my cats and dog for a week. She followed all my directions and my pets loved her! I would request her again for future sitting. Thanks!”

“I’d like to give thanks to Diana Ordoñez for providing care of my 3 dogs!!! She is the most caring, knowledgeable with 14 years of experience as veterinary technician, respectful, responsible and reliable!!! The most compassionate person for our best friends🐶 I have ever left my babies with ❤️ I am so blessed and grateful because I can have peace of mind while working or away from home …I know my girls are safe at home with her 🥰!!! I highly recommend her and her service 👍❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“She also follows instructions really well, making sure to give my dog the medicine he needed exactly when he needed it. She would take my dog on regular walks making sure he got exercise and she kept his routine as close to normal as possible. She also went over to my house so that she could take care of my bearded dragon, two turtles, fish and hamster. She made sure that all of them were taken care of and had everything that they needed. She was very intentional about making sure that all of the animals had exactly what they needed so that they would be both healthy but also happy while me and my family were away. Overall it was an amazing experience and it allowed me to feel comfortable about being away from the animals because I knew that she would take such good care of them while I was gone.”

“Rachel was wonderful with my dogs and sent us photos or videos every day. Will definitely use Rachel again! So much better than a boarding kennel.”

“Monica was so kind and flexible, I would recommend her to anyone. She went above and beyond for our senior dog. She was very communicative and the whole process went smoothly.”

“Yaritza was nice enough to help take care of a friend’s dog for me while I had to travel. She walked, fed, and spent time with Roo for several days. It went really smooth and really appreciated her help. I would recommend her”

“My husband and I were very pleased with Inge. Initially it was very hard to leave Oreo behind, for the first time. Inge quickly reassured us that all was fine and we should focus on our time away. We received photos and updates daily which showed our little guy playing and having a good time. Inge left our home in the same order, as she arrived.”

About: I have raised and bred dogs with my Grandfather since I was 5 years old. I bred Farm, Hunting, Shepherd, Working & AKC Show Breeds Ranging from Huskies, to Collies and Shelties, to Coon Hounds, Weimaraners, Bird Dogs like Spaniels. I have also owned a Show boarding and grooming Kennel for the last decade and a half up until shutting it down during the Pandemic to have more time to myself to travel and do things. I do still have a passion for caring for animals and do enjoy taking them in, taking them on my daily walks/hikes with me, showering them in attention, and helping owners in need. I am Retired I am physically active. I enjoy walking, hiking, exercise, and being out doors which especially helps with dogs that are rambunctious and have a lot of energy which needs to be burnt off throughout the day. I have a fenced yard with individually fenced off runs. I also have a Kennel Building I am renovating and will be adding new indoor/outdoor kennels to as the old ones were over 25 years old and in need or replacement. For taking in extended stay pets that are used to being kept outdoors or are crate/cage trained. As far as in the home it is client by client based. I consult with the pets owners. I try to keep the experience as stress free for the pet as possible. If they are allowed on the furniture and in bed at home nothing changes when they stay with me. If they are crate trained I try to maintain their home training regiment and play/feeding, potty/sleep routine as much as possible.

“Paige was great with our crazy doodles. She let us know when she had arrived, sent photos and asked great questions to be sure the crazy ones kept to their regular schedule. They were happy and healthy when we got home and the house was clean and tidy. We will definitely call again if we need dog care.”

“Debi was outstanding, she stayed with Rudy at night, played with him every day and kept in touch with us with reports and pictures. We would recommend her to anyone. We were so anxious about leaving our pet because we are retired and Rudy is not use to being alone, Debi was amazing, as was her husband Jason. We are so grateful to them both.”

About: I have been a pet owner ever since I was a little kid and it has always been my responsibility to take care of my animals which I love more than anything. I haven’t got the opportunity to pet sit others animals but if you give me the chance you won’t regret it :) I have 2 cats of my own as well as a black lab, I love them more than anything and I will do everything’s to make sure your animals are taken just as good care of as my own:) I am currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to make sure your animals are well taken care of. It won’t be a problem to work with your schedule For my 2 cats they have their own room which contains 2 litter boxes a play area with all of their toys and a large window area for them to peer out. I’m always consistent changing their litter and I’m very consistente playtime. For my dog she is spoiled, she has all of the toys and I cook her own meals for her. I have a big fenced in yard for her to play in as her well-being is in my best interest

“I have to say finding Danette was a Blessing. I can’t say enough how Awesome she is. She loved and cared for my Gus as if he was her own fur baby. She sent me photos and videos daily and I must say it eased my worries of leaving him 100%. I was worried my fur baby would be lonely and sad, but she kept him so busy with attention, affection, playing and just Love. Her passion for animals was just amazing! I will definitely book with her again. She watched Gus in my home and when I came home from a king and tired trip my house was as if no one was home❤️. Did I mention she’s Amazing! I know my boy will miss her till next time.”

“Stamatia was actually referred to me by my neighbor who told me that she is great with all her pets and sense she found her, she hasn't left her pets in any other hands. I called Stamatia on short notice, I have never had to have a pet sitter so I was hesitant about someone caring for my 8 year old Chi-Winnie mix and my 2 year old Lab mix. I asked her to come over while I was home to see how she interacted with my pets and like my neighbor said, she is just great with pets, its like she was taking care of my dogs for years. While caring for my dogs she walks them, lets them out in the back yard, plays fetch, feeds, cuddles, and also cleans up any messes they may make. She will also leave me notes, a text or an email to let me know about my dogs when she visits, She also takes plenty of pictures for me . Anytime I need someone to care for my home and pets I call Stamatia, and I recommend her to anybody looking for a pet sitter.”

“Danielle took our reservations at the last minute! We had a facetime interview with her and were happy with how professional she was. We were sent a video and a picture of our babies while we were gone. I would recommend her to anyone and will be using her again!”

“She has watched my dogs for me multiply times and has always done a great job! These are my babies and she's the only person trust with my dogs! She is honest and actually does her job (walking, playing, snuggling, ect). I wouldn't want anyone else watching my dogs!”

“McKensie was amazing! Her and my dog Chewie got along great, she was truly accomodating to changes in the schedule, she is prompt and was so very polite and professional. We will continue to use McKensie as long as she is willing to take care of our little Chewie boy.”

“Reggie took wonderful care of my 2 dogs, I think they miss her after their fun weekend!!”

About: I love to play with any animals. No matter if it's a stop in or a walk I love to stop and take a moment to connect with every animal and make it fun for the both of us! I have 3 animals of my own and i am a student for Dunnellon high. I am very flexible with my days and I will make it my priority that your pets are having fun, staying safe, and healthy. I will make sure to stick to the schedule and needs of the pet(s). I like to have daily check-ins with the owners with photos so they know all the updates and time that I attended to the pet(s).

About: I care about them as if they were my own. They don't live as long as humans so they deserve the best life we can give them while they're here. The only experience and knowledge I have of dogs and cats is what I've learned on my own with my pets throughout my life. I don't have a job so my availability is mostly flexible. Looking for extra money, I don't have any special skills I just need extra money and love dogs and cats. The only thing I can think of that puts me apart from other services/sitters is the desire and drive to complete any task, besides my love for pets, I have a great work ethic that helps me be motivated to ensure every step was taken in completing a task. Money is also a great motivator but isn't the saying "do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life", that's a great interpretation of my work ethic. I'm currently unemployed. I usually have availability on Saturday, and Sunday. If I am available during the weekend I will update my schedule, otherwise that's my availability. I cannot offer boarding in my home because I live in an apartment where each pet in my home needs to be paid for and accounted for by my apartment management but I will treat your animals and living spaces like royalty and respect all responsibilities asked of me while I care for your pets in your home.
