About: I became a pet owner at a very young age, probably 4 or 5. My first fur baby was a cat who lived to be 20 years old! I have also had many dogs, ranging from Retrievers to Saint Bernards to one really wonderful Great Pyrenees. When I was a teen, I visited my Grandmother in New York where a cute, sick little barn kitty took a liking to me. I ended up flying him home with me in a picnic basket, nursed him back to health, and loved him for many years. While growing up and into my adulthood I have often taken care of neighbors' and friends' dogs and cats while they were away. I now have a 5-year-old kitty who we've had since he was a kitten. He is the king of the castle and an essential member of our family, and honestly, I envy his life most of the time! I understand how precious our pets are and would be truly honored to take care of yours just as they were my own, surrounding them with love, patience, and attention. I currently work in Real Estate and have the flexibility to work with your needs Tues, Thurs and Fri during the day. The more notice I have the better I can get my schedule aligned with yours. Other times/days may be available by request and circumstance. In my current profession, I am trusted to enter others' homes on a regular basis. I will treat your home and pet(s) with just as much care, caution and respect as I do for every client.

About: I am an elementary school teacher with 16 years experience. Due to the long hours at my job, I was unable to have pets for many years. Over the last three years, we adopted a dog and a cat, and I renewed my love for animals. I was a nanny, babysitter, and pet sitter throughout high school and college. I’m looking to get back into the pet-sitting business and spend time with your furry friends! I look forward to spoiling your pets as I do my own 🐶 Over the summer I am not working, so I have total flexibility for your schedule! During the school year, I am available on weekends and some weekday evenings/overnights with advanced notice. My main living area is pet-proofed and gated to keep your pet safe. I have multiple crates if needed to provide a safe enclosure for dogs of all sizes. Our neighborhood has gravel walking paths, grassy areas, and plenty of room for walks. My own pets are a Labrador retriever age 2.5 named Cookie (spayed female) and an American shorthair cat named Mochi (neutered male). All vaccines are up to date for my animals and we use preventative flea and tick medications. I have taken classes locally in basic puppy care and have access to a vet on demand service.

About: With 8 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all sizes—from energetic puppies and tiny kittens to senior dogs and exotic pets—I offer more than just pet sitting or walking: I provide peace of mind. Over the years, I’ve worked with a wide range of animals, including large breeds, small critters, special-needs pets, and everything in between. Whether it’s a leisurely walk, structured playtime, or just quiet companionship, I tailor each visit to your pet’s unique needs and personality. What sets me apart? Personalized care: I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. Every pet has their own routine, quirks, and comforts—and I make sure they’re all honored. Consistent communication: I provide regular updates, photos, and notes so you’re always in the loop. Reliability and trust: I treat your pets and home with the same care I would my own. Calm, confident handling: I’m experienced with shy, high-energy, and special-needs pets, ensuring a safe, stress-free experience for all. Whether you're away for a day or an extended trip, you can count on me to give your pets the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. I do my work from home so because of that I am extremely flexible on when I can come and make visits for your pets. My pets are part of my Family and I would do anything for them and I know that your pets are your family and I will treat them as such. I love all animals and treat them all as my own

About: I’ve taken care of dogs small and large since 2016 for family friends and neighbors. I have a real passion for animal care and my utmost priority is to make sure the well being of your pet is at an all time high. I’ve also gone through online training courses for dogs and cats detailing proper care techniques. I recently started looking for a job but I will update this when / if it changes! Friday mornings are my only recurring schedule block currently. I can tailor the visit to how best it is to fit your pet’s needs. On visits where a potty break is needed, they will be taken out and given treats and lots of love with some fresh water. On meal visits they will be given their meals and fresh water with lots of love as well. On overnight visits I follow the directions exactly and leave the place and the pet(s) looking and feeling better than when I arrived.

About: Hi, I’m Bree!
With over 8 years of experience in veterinary medicine and a lifelong love for animals, I bring a unique level of care, skill, and compassion to every pet I look after. But senior pets and those with special needs hold a special place in my heart. Whether your companion needs daily medications, gentle handling, mobility support, or just a little extra patience and love, I’m here to help. Your pet’s health, happiness, and safety are my top priorities. I’m also working toward building a forever home for my own rescues—so when you book with me, you're supporting a fellow animal lover’s dream. My specialties as a Pet Sitter: • Medication administration (oral, injectable, and topical), ensuring that pets with special medical needs receive their treatments on schedule and with minimal stress. I’m experienced in following specific care instructions and maintaining clear communication with owners to ensure the best outcomes for their pets. • Customized companionship, whether it's cuddles, gentle playtime, or just sitting with an animal, I adapt my approach to each pet’s unique personality and emotional needs. I understand the importance of providing a sense of security, especially for pets with anxiety, fear, or past trauma. • Creating a low-stress environment tailored to the animal’s sensory and behavioral needs. I work to maintain a calm, quiet atmosphere, avoiding sudden changes in routine or environment, which can be particularly crucial for animals with heightened sensitivities. • Enrichment and mental stimulation through activities that are designed to engage pets physically and mentally. Whether it’s puzzle toys, interactive games, or scent trails, I make sure each pet is stimulated in a way that aligns with their abilities and preferences, promoting overall happiness and well-being. I am dedicated to offering each pet personalized care that ensures their comfort, happiness, and safety while their owners are away. I currently work full time, but I am flexible to meet your fur babies needs during the work week and available anytime Saturday- Monday. 🐾 All pets will be closely supervised during outdoor activities to ensure their safety and well-being. I will follow detailed instructions on how to best care for your fur child, ensuring they stay safe, happy, and filled with love while you are away.

I am very flexible and can definitely work around your schedule. I am retiring from my job, and looking for something that I can say I love to do, which is be around animals and take care of them. Whether you need someone to stop in and let them out or take them for a walk or jog, I am your go to sitter.

Whether it be a walk around the neighborhood, throwing the ball, or cuddles on the couch, I am available for all of these needs.

“Laura was the friendliest sitter for my Rottweiler, she not only took care of him to make sure he had plenty of water/food in his bowl, but she also trained him throughout the walks to fix minor behavioral issues. I fully trust Laura with my dog whole heartedly and I will 100% book her again. She’s caring, leaves a very detailed dog card, and she’ll keep you updated on everything.My dog truly loved her and her energy. I highly recommend booking with Laura.”

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life, from hermit crabs to horses. The last 15 years I’ve gone from volunteering with animals to now rescuing and owning 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own. I’m a resident physician but I’m currently on a research year so my schedule is pretty flexible for home visits or walks- but also for boarding given that I have a very animal friendly environment in my own home. I have a three bedroom, split level house with a large backyard and access to a huge field on the other side of my yard for things like fetch and walks. I have 2 energized and social dogs in my own home who are very friendly, love cuddling and playing fetch. I also have 2 cats who do well around my dogs, one younger one that plays along with them and one older one who is still social but keeps more of a distance from play time.

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. I also have a puppy of my own! I can take care of dogs or cats of any size or age! I am free weekdays and weekends. I can easily accommodate to your schedules and times. I have a puppy of my own. With a fenced in yard that she loves to stay in. I have a fenced in backyard. With a puppy of my own if needed company. I will have 24/7 care with your pup or cat. I am very flexible and can accommodate to any needs!

About: I take care of the dogs more than 10 years. I don’t have opportunity to have a dog now because of work. But I really want to spend more time with them. I am currently working 8 hour’s shifts. I can play with your puppies and take care of them on the weekend or in the evening or overnight I will walk, feed and play with your pet. I love to play with dogs. We have a friendly neighborhood for that. The most important I will love your pet!

About: I follow instructions and care for all animals like they are my own. I can care for your typical fur babies such as dogs and cats, but am also comfortable caring for reptiles, amphibians and other aquatic animals. I understand that all animals have different personalities, but all require patience, understanding and love. I work part-time during the spring and summer so I have extra time to help. I get up early, so if your pets like to be up and going around the crack of dawn, look no further. If you have night time creatures or animals that don’t like the heat, I can also accommodate that as well. I treat everyone’s home with upmost respect. I keep you informed throughout the day of all activities to make sure you know that your loved one is taken care of.

About: I have had dogs my whole life and have always had a special place in my heart for them. I recently volunteered to raise a service dog for Canine Companions for Independence, where I cared for and trained a puppy for a year and a half for their organization. I have also volunteered as a dog walker at multiple animal shelters. I have a black lab named Kenny, and a rag doll kitten named Phoebe. They are always my priority and I will give your furry friends the same love and care that they deserve. I am a graduate student at UCF, and my class schedule consists of 2 classes in the evenings on Wednesdays and Thursdays for the summer. Therefore, I am pretty flexible for the time being! The safety of your pet will be my utmost priority while they are in my care. After walks I will be sure that your pet is safely home waiting for you, with doors locked, and a little note to tell you about your pet’s time with me:)
