About: I am always looking for a furry friend when out and about! I love giving attention to furry friends who need it! I will shower your pet with love! I currently work part time in Punta Gorda.

About: I have been taking care of my pets for many years and I have a veterinarian assistant diploma so I will provide your pets best care. Caring for pets is an integral part of any routine, especially when running a facility like Arcadia Pet Resort. Here’s how pet care can fit into a daily or weekly schedule: Daily Routine: 1. Morning Care: • Feeding pets with appropriate meals based on their dietary needs. • Administering any required medications. • Cleaning kennels and bedding to maintain hygiene. • Taking pets for walks or allowing playtime to ensure exercise and stimulation. 2. Midday Activities: • Providing enrichment activities like games or toys to keep pets engaged. • Offering check-ins and monitoring each pet’s behavior and well-being. • Grooming sessions as needed, such as brushing coats or trimming nails. 3. Evening Care: • Feeding dinner and ensuring pets are relaxed and settled for the night. • Final walks or potty breaks to maintain comfort. • Double-checking that all pets are safe, secure, and comfortable. Weekly Care: 1. Deeper Cleaning: • Sanitizing play areas, feeding bowls, and bedding thoroughly. • Checking and maintaining facility equipment. 2. Health Monitoring: • Scheduling check-ups for any pets that require special attention. • Updating health records and communicating with pet owners. 3. Special Activities: • Hosting group play sessions or training exercises for socialization. • Celebrating pets’ birthdays or milestones with treats and special care. At Arcadia Pet Resort, we primarily care for pets in our dedicated facility, but our approach ensures that pets feel as loved and comfortable as they would at home. Here’s how we tailor care in different scenarios: In Our Facility (Pet Resort): 1. Personalized Attention: • We learn each pet’s routine, dietary needs, and preferences. • Pets are treated as individuals, ensuring their unique needs are met. 2. Comfortable Environment: • Clean, climate-controlled accommodations with cozy bedding. • Safe indoor and outdoor play areas for exercise and socialization. 3. Routine and Structure: • Scheduled feeding, walks, and playtime to create consistency. • Quiet time for rest, mimicking a home-like atmosphere. 4. Emergency Preparedness: • Staff trained in pet first aid. • Quick access to local veterinarians for unexpected health issues.

“Very happy to have found Dawn! She's caring and loves your babies like her own. Dawn was great at documenting Cashmere's glucose level (patience to get the blood draw is necessary and she was and gentle as well) and administering his insulin .... just all around very detailed in her notes and very appreciated! She sent pics too! Dawn moved any packages inside the house and was kind enough to water a plant outside when we didn't get much rain. We appreciate her detail and genuine care and highly recommend her! Thank you SO much, Dawn!!!”

About: Hello! I’m Sue, and I’m excited to offer dog walking and drop-in sitting services for your pets. As someone who has had dogs and cats all my life, I bring a lifetime of experience caring for pets, both my own and others’. I currently live with a lovable crew that includes a Maine Coon mix cat, three dogs (a Tennessee Walker Hound, Chihuahua terrier mix, and dachshund mix), plus a few goats and chickens. In addition to dogs and cats, I’ve provided drop-in care for birds, goats, and chickens, so I’m comfortable with a variety of animals. I also have experience giving medications to dogs, and I’ve given pills to both dogs and my own cat, especially since my dog has health issues that require regular medication. I am committed to keeping clear and consistent communication with pet owners, ensuring you’re updated throughout my visits. I also ask that you do the same in the event there is a question of care, or in the off chance of an emergency. With my own transportation and a flexible schedule, I’m ready to accommodate your pet care needs and provide peace of mind while you’re away. Whether it’s walking, feeding, or just drop-in visits, I’ll make sure your pets are well taken care of! Looking forward to meeting you and your furry (or feathered) friends. I do have a small farm to tend to, but am flexible and able to easily fit it around pet sitting. I can care for your pets daily, but holidays are very busy. Because I have a household of pets of my own, I am not able to care for clients pets in my own home at this time. I offer dog walking in 30 minute increments, drop in visits to check on, feed, dispense meds, tend to cats.

About: I’ve been raised around animals my whole life. From the moment I was able, I was the one taking out the dog or feeding the cat. From sophomore year of high school onwards I’ve been a regular volunteer at numerous animal shelters and animal boarding facilities across the country. I’ve pet sat for friends and family alike. I spend a good portion of my free time doing my own research on any questions I have regarding animal care. I have a particular fondness for cats, and have been known to befriend even the most timid of kitties. As of right now, I am unemployed with a ton of free time. The only days I may not be available are Sundays and Wednesdays, as those days are when I spend time volunteering at the animal shelter. I will spend a lot of time in your home giving your animals the love and attention they need in your absence. I can take them on frequent walks as needed, and clean up any messes they may have made. I will feed them within 30 minutes of their scheduled feeding times. If I am staying overnight I will leave the house just as clean as it was when I got there.

About: I have provided professional loving care for wonderful pets all over the world in cities including Paris, Tokyo, Los Angeles, Miami, Orlando, Tampa and more! I am a traveling dog and cat sitter which allows me to give full time loving worry free care to your beautiful pets while you are out of town. I stay at your home while you are away which allows me to provide full time care and companionship to your pets while caring for your residence.

About: Hello! For most of my life I've grown up around pets. We always had dogs and cats, and while currently we have four cats I often house sit my mother's dog Honey. I have a passion for animals I hope to someday turn into a career. Currently I am unemployed and trying to get out of the food service industry. I have access to a vehicle if needed for house visits. I will happily take your furry friend on multiple walks, drop in to ensure everyone gets bathroom breaks, or even watch your cats if you're out of town. Typically for our four cats I take sole care of them. They are fed 1/4 cup dry food each 2 times a day and a can of wet food a day as well. Our cats are older so there's not much activity wise, however when Honey my mother's dog visits we usually do two walks a day. We also have a fenced in backyard for zoomies, full screened in lanai (with a pool which can be sectioned off) for post zoomies. When watching her overnight she gets herself a full bowl of dry food to graze on while receiving two portions of wet food throughout the day.

About: I love spoiling dogs and making them feel loved. As a person who had a life long companion I feel like i know how to treat a dog the way they should be treated (which is with lost of treats and belly rubs). I would say that i am a really sweet and nice girl as well as pretty active too. I've worked with dogs as well at a groomers, which i think gives me advantage on understanding if there is something wrong or if the dog needs something. I will always work harder then what is conceded normal as well as super patient. Weather your dog is big or small i know i can be a great person of use when it comes to dog. Hope to see you and your big/small guy/girl! :)

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. All sizes and breeds. I’ve taken dog training classes for my own personal pets. I’ve been caring for friends and neighbors dogs my whole adult life. I’m currently a driver that makes my own schedule so I am available to fit in your schedule for caring for your pet. I’m very energetic to keep up with your pet! I am very centrally located in the Charlotte county. Easy to reach and be available for when your pet needs attention. Always have a positive attitude even with the more difficult breeds.

About: I've always had a deep love for animals and have personally cared for and owned both dogs and cats. I am trustworthy, respectful, and always take great care of your home, yard, and pets. I work 12hr shifts with a flexible schedule, so if you have any special requests, feel free to let me know and I’ll most likely be able to accommodate them! I’m unable to board pets in my home, I’m more than happy to come to yours, ensuring your pet feels safe and comfortable in their own environment.

About: My siblings and I had so many dogs growing up, we never even asked we just brought them home. We lived in the country (like dead end road and everything lol) so having a dog around training them and loving them was our lifeline. I work full time but am free nights and weekends. My husband is off for the summer and has been a great help taken care of our dogs and helping some times with requests. We live in an apartment complex that has a great big dog park, we also have two dogs that love to lay around. We did have ours crate trained and house trained.

About: My name is Saige, I have recently relocated back to Florida, specifically Gainesville. I am currently pursuing my masters degree in business for Lenoir-Rhyne University. All of my classes are online, so I have a lot of free time. I love animals and have taken care of quite a few over the past several years. I have a two German Short Haired Pointers at home. I’ve also have experience taking care of cats. I am currently living in an apartment and am more than happy to take care of all sorts of dogs and cats, crazy with energy or laid back. I am very energetic and enjoy being outside every chance I get. I hope I can help you and your furry family! I am currently pursuing my masters degree online, meaning I have plenty of time for you and your furry family. I currently check in on my family dogs once a week, but besides that I have a lot of free time. I currently can't offer boarding, but I do have two German Short haired Pointers back home that I take to the park once a week. They are both very friendly, that love people, and dogs even more!

About: I’m an experienced pet lover with 4+ years caring for dogs of all sizes, cats, and other animals. I’ve taken care of pets since I was little, and I always treat them like family. I’m reliable, gentle, and committed to keeping your pets happy, safe, and comfortable. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. I make time every day for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, and I’m flexible with my schedule so I can adjust to each pet’s needs. Whether it’s early-morning walks, mid-day visits, or evening care, I fit pet care smoothly into my day because it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully to keep the pet’s routine as normal as possible. I handle feeding, walks, litter or potty clean-up, playtime, and any special care the pet needs. I also keep the home tidy, respect their space, and make sure the pet feels safe and cared for while the owner is away.

About: From a teacup poodle to a big mastiff, I've had pets of various sizes. I've pet-sit (or "cat-sat"), my friends and families pets whenever they needed so I'd be happy to do that as well. I'm also no stranger to helping feed pets their nasty medicine as well. I'm currently looking for a job as I've just moved down here! That being the case, I've got plenty of time (with almost an entirely free schedule), to walk and play with your pups! I have met dogs and cats of all energy levels, from pups that have high energy to those who like to make their daily rounds before plopping down for a nap. Whatever their needs are, I am happy to comply. Their comfort and enjoyment is my top priority!

“Thank you for everything!!! We’ll be regulars!!”
