About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my personalized, attentive approach to every pet’s unique needs. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic youngsters to senior pets requiring gentle care and medication management. I focus on creating a stress-free, loving environment so pets stay happy and healthy while you’re away. Whether it’s extra playtime, special diets, or senior support, I tailor every visit to your pet’s comfort and routine. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I prioritize each visit with care, making sure every pet receives consistent attention, love, and companionship. I provide care in both my home and your pet’s home. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, medication, or cuddles, I ensure a safe, comfortable, and familiar environment.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs ever since I was born and I take care of my moms, grandmas, and best friends dogs while they’re away! I’m currently working part time but I’m mostly available after 12pm. I’m in nursing school so Mondays I won’t be available until after 2 as I’m at the hospital but weekends are fully open! I cannot care for your pets at my house unfortunately at the moment. But at your house I would love to go on long walks with your dogs if you have them or hang out with any cats and of course feed and play with the animals!
About: We don’t deserve dogs! I’ve cared for my diabetic mastiff growing up and now my active coonhound from puppy to adult. I got you friend I work from home so my schedule is wide open for your pup. I’m available Monday through Friday afternoons and evenings for drop in walks. I have experience with crate trained and non-crate trained dogs and will respect your home routines to keep your dog safe, comfortable, while having fun.
About: I have been fostering animals for the past 10 years including pregnant dogs and cats, newborns, elders, sick, healthy, and everything in between. I have two cats of my own who are my whole world. I love animals more than anything, and would love to get to know yours! I work for the County in a 24 hour organization where I also do on-call shifts. My schedule is extremely flexible, and I also do a lot of remote work. I’m able to take breaks in my day for drop-in’s, and adjust my schedule to meet your pets needs. I have a small fenced yard and live in a very quiet neighborhood where all the dogs are friendly. My two cats are used to me bringing home friends for them frequently since I foster a lot, and they used to live with a St. bernard and a Jack Russel so they’re used to dogs.
About: *Moving to Orlando on August 16th* I've taken care of cats and dogs since I was 13. In my hometown I volunteered at a dog rescue called Plenty of Pitbulls. During that time, I housed a hospice dog and worked at adoption events/fundraisers. My family has also had multiple dogs, cats, rats and geckos which I've helped take care of. I love cats and dogs alike and would love to get to know yours! I am currently a full time student at UCF. I am doing aerospace engineering so I'm looking for a part time job. I love animals so thought this would be perfect. I am currently not offering overnight boarding but I would love to get more exercise playing and walking your dogs. I also would love to relax and play with your cats.

“I have known Laura for many years, especially in the capacity of pet care. She stayed at our house with our cats and dog while we were away on vacation. She loves our pets as if they were her own. Our dog, Rosie, has an exceptionally tight bond with her as she went out of the way to take her on car trips and worked on dog walking commands. Laura has unlimited experience with pets and animals of all kinds from her own dogs and cats, to farm animals such as horses, pigs, donkeys and goats. You can't find a better pet/house sitter out there!!”
