Dog Sitting Alafaya

About: I’m a patient, responsible, and attentive pet sitter with experience caring for pets and working with children as a basketball coach, camp counselor, and after-school program staff member. These experiences have taught me patience, responsibility, and how to keep others safe and comfortable. I’m dependable and will treat your pet with the same care and attention I’d want for my own! I’m a UCF student with a flexible schedule between classes, and I’m especially available on weekends. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m able to make time for walks, drop-ins, and giving pets the attention they need. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I like to get to know their personality and routine, so they feel comfortable and happy while their owner is away. I’ll follow any instructions they’re given, give them plenty of attention and playtime, and make sure they’re safe and well cared for. I’ll also keep you updated so you know how your pet is doing!

About: I genuinely care about making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I take the time to get to know each animal’s personality, routine, and preferences so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. I’m patient, attentive, and I understand that every pet is different, so I adjust my approach based on their energy level, temperament, and needs. What sets me apart is my focus on creating a calm, positive environment and building trust with both pets and their owners. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different ages, including energetic puppies who need structure, supervision, and consistency, as well as senior pets who may need a gentler pace and extra attention. I’m dependable and responsible, and I always make sure pets are safe, well-exercised, and cared for with kindness. I also believe communication is really important, so I keep owners updated and make sure they feel confident and reassured while they’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just spending time with a pet so they don’t feel lonely, I put effort into making each visit a positive experience. I’m currently working part time so I will have time to drop in to your pets and am fully free all of the weekend to have stay over visits as well!! In my client’s home, I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I stick to feeding schedules, walk times, and any special instructions the owner provides. I prioritize safety by keeping a close eye on pets during walks and outdoor time, using secure leashes, and avoiding situations that could make them uncomfortable or unsafe. Inside the home, I make sure they have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention so they feel calm and cared for. I also respect the client’s home and keep things tidy. I provide updates when needed so owners feel confident their pet is in good hands.

About: Hi there, My name is Kristine. I have 10+ years experience in caring for animals. I have one dog and four cats of my own. I love animals wholeheartedly, and will make sure to provide the utmost genuine love and care for your fur-baby, always. I know how stressful it is to have to leave your pet with someone you barely know, and I will strive to make your pet(s) stay comfortable, safe, fun and loving. Animals always hold a special place in my heart, and I truly believe these innocent, sweet fur-babies deserve the best care a human can provide for them. I will treat your fur-babies, the exact same way I treat mine. They will receive the best care, always. What to know about their stay: I am currently a stay at home dog and cat mom, which means your pet will get the best care, with plenty of outdoor time and exercise. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a military spouse, I have flexible free time that allows me to offer morning, midday, or evening visits depending on the week. I intentionally keep my client list small so I can give each pet genuine, unhurried attention rather than rushing between too many visits. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routine closely — feeding times, medications, and any specific instructions — so the pet’s day feels as normal as possible while their owner is away. I stay attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs, always prioritizing their comfort and safety.

“Nyssa was wonderful and very communicative. I was out of the country for 3 weeks and she made sure all of sage’s needs were met. When Sage was running low on water or treats she would let me know ahead of time. I would book with her again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Gabriela watched our 8 parrots while we were away and did a great job! We loved seeing the pics of the birds knowing they were safe and well cared for while we were away! We highly recommend Gabriela, she was great and we are lucky to find her and will be rebooking again.”

About: Animals have been part of my life from day one. I grew up with two veterinary technicians as parents, so caring for pets wasn't just something we did, it was part of our family. At 15, I got my first job as a kennel technician, where I learned how to safely handle dogs of every size, age, and personality. Over the years, I've had the joy of owning dogs and cats of all kinds, including raising three Great Pyrenees through college and adulthood. Giant breeds taught me patience, consistency, and how to confidently handle even the strongest dogs. Whether your pup loves a leisurely "sniffari" with plenty of time to explore or prefers an energetic jog to burn off some zoomies, I'm happy to match their pace and personality. I have experience with puppies, seniors, large breeds, small breeds, and everything in between. I know your pets are family, and I'll care for them with the same attention, safety, and love I'd want for my own. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the day. I'm available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and I can often accommodate last-minute requests. My flexible workday means your pets will receive reliable, attentive care and won't be left waiting for their visit. I understand that trusting someone with both your pets and your home is a big decision. I'll treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities, and I'll follow your routines and instructions carefully to help them feel relaxed while you're away. You can expect reliable communication, photo updates, and dependable care every step of the way.

“Used Raechel a few times now, always reliable and happy to help with the dog! Great with large breeds too, right now my dog is 9 months and 70lbs.”

About: Hello! My name is Lauren and I'm a current business student. I've taken on a variety of pets in an array of conditions, from premature puppies to seniors. I am dedicated to punctuality, clear communication, and learning from each experience. As an animal lover I prioritize proper care, not cutting corners, and putting effort into maintaining wellbeing. Most of my classes take place online, so I am available most days. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both the pet and owner, and cater to the needs of each. I like to do a meet and greet for new clients so I can be thorough and prepared for the booking. Most of my classes are online, so I am flexible and mostly open on weekdays. Comfortable with early mornings or late nights. Weekends are open. Certain holidays available. My apartment does not allow animals, so I care would take place in your home. I am completely used to this, with most all of my experience taking place in client's homes. In order to ensure safety and accuracy, I prefer to do an initial meet and greet before any bookings. I also take this time to note any quirks, special needs, or specific instructions for the pet. I am comfortable walking / running distances to provide exercise.
