Pet Sitting in Auburndale

“She took such great care of all of our dogs and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. One of our dogs can be reactive around new people, and she handled everything so patiently, calmly, and professionally. She took the time to build trust and made our dog feel comfortable, which meant so much to us.”

About: My mom has taken care of other people’s dogs for years, and I’ve helped her on many occasions. I’ve also attended dog training classes with my own two dogs! My availability is a little different than my calendar, but Rover won’t allow me to change it. SO, this is my availability around my spring semester classes: Mondays from 12pm-3pm, Wednesdays anytime after noon (may vary with my work schedule), Fridays all day (may also vary with my work schedule), and every other weekend (reach out to find out when). I am not available Tuesdays or Thursdays! My schedule can change, so don’t hesitate to reach out and ask if you have any questions! I’ll be able to do whatever you need; whether it be playing or walking, helping potty train and learn tricks. I also go for runs, so if your dog has more energy, I can take him/her on a run instead of a walk! If interested, I do have some younger siblings if you’d like to get your pet(s) used to kids!

“Emily was amazing! So friendly and our cats all LOVED her, which is crazy because normally they aren’t all keen on new people. She was prompt and updated us immediately with several pictures and how they were doing. Thanks, Emily!”

About: Growing up I had the opportunity to baby sit my neighbors many pets including dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, tortoises, birds, and more! I've also baby sat for relatives dogs. I recently lost my beloved senior dog, but would love to be able to put that love I once gave him into caring for your pets. I'm a registered nurse and typically work 3 12 hour shifts a week. On my days off I am available for walks or home drop ins! Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or interests! I have experience walking and homing my families dogs, and administering oral medications.

“Becky did an incredible job for our cat Suna. It was our first time leaving him alone for a weekend, but Becky made us feel at ease by going above and beyond and letting us know about the slightest changes in mood or behavior. She also spent a lot of time cuddling and playing with Suna and even washed his food containers. We could not be more happy. Becky, thank you so much and please come again!”

About: I have been working with animals since I was young. I currently have 7 dogs. I groom and work with many breeds. I am trusted with dogs and cats everyday for grooming now I would love to add in walking and pet sitting. I currently work part time which leaves me the flexibility in the afternoon and evenings to walk and care for other pets. I am also available for pet sitting on most weekends and after 2 pm the week days! I have dog friendly pups that come with me to keep other pups entertained while in your home. They can be kenneled as well if needed.

About: I grew up surrounded by pets; my family had 2 small dogs and several cats, my grandparents all had medium dogs, my best friend's all had various sized dogs and cats. Once I moved out during college, I began researching husbandry for lizards and small pets (specifically hamsters, ferrets, and small birds) and eventually got a few cats of my own. During my college years, I worked at a pet store and helped families find the right pet for their household and make sure they had the information needed to best care for their pet. Today, I am the parent of 2 cats, 3 ferrets, and several reptiles. I help care for, house sit, and train my friend's dogs as well. In the past few summers I was also hired as a dog walker by several friends to help get their large breed puppy outside to burn off some energy while they were away at work. These walks were also the perfect time for us to practice skills that they were working on in training. I am a lover of all animals, big and small. I love getting to know different pets and all their quirks and I hope your pet will love getting to know me! I work from home during the school year with summers off which gives me flexibility to work from anywhere and make potty breaks (or play breaks) throughout the day. I often have events that I attend on the weekends but am usually done by 5PM when I have those events. For senior dogs that need help getting to their favorite spot on the couch, I am able to lift up to 50lbs. I am able to handle dogs up to 80lbs on walks (maybe more, but so far, I have only had experience walking dogs up to 80lbs).

About: I have been raised with dogs my entire life. I have cared for my own dogs, as well as friend and family's dogs. Growing up we had many dogs in our home, small to large, puppies to elderly, and have cared for them. I also have 4 dogs of my own and we have had 3 litters of AKC purebred puppies. I am most available for boarding as I do work during the day on weekdays but we are happy to have dogs come and have someone to let them out frequently during the day until I get home if needed. We do have lots of baseball games for our 3 boys so will need to pop in and out at times. Otherwise I am available for boarding most days of the week, unless out of town for activities for our 3 boys. I have a fenced yard and 4 friendly and active dogs: 3 German Shorthaired Pointers (ages 7, 5.5 and 2) and a Corgi (age 3). Our boys are ages 12, 10 and 7.

“Annette is reliable, communicates regularly, and sends photos regularly. We wouldn't hesitate to reach out to Annette for future pet-sitting needs!”

About: I have taken in many animals of all kinds throughout the years , Persistent and accountable caretaker. It is important to me to make a difference to all walks of life. Currently I am staying home with my young children, I am available most days of the week! And am flexible to you and your pets wishes. I have a few aquarium animals, no dogs or cats, but I also care for some of the animals next door quite often. We have small children if your pet is tolerable of them and crating is optional per your request.

About: I started my dog watching journey when I was about 16. I used to watch a friend's dogs whenever she was away. Even when she was at work when her older dog was ill. I have a kinship with dogs like no other. It's only in the last 5 years that I've developed that with cats as well. I have a flexible work schedule that can accommodate any needs you have. I will update my calendar as to my availability at least every 2 weeks. I can accommodate 1 or 2 dogs only on the weekends. But, in your home I will respect everything. I won't mess anything up and if I do I'll return it better than I left it.

“I was in a pinch and needed someone last minute! Clair worked with me to get my boys taken care of! She was the rockstar of the day for me and my boys!”

About: Hello there! My name is Cassie! I can't wait to meet, care for, and love your fur baby like my own! I have been sitting/taking care of animals ever sense I can remember. Anything your pet needs I can provide. I'm currently working from home. And I'm pretty much home all the time. So I would have plenty of time to play with your pet/pets and keep them entertained and happy. I live in a good size home with a large yard. Which offers a lot of room for your pet or pets to run around and get all of their energy out.

About: I am the proud owner of 5 dogs ( 1 GSD, 1 King Shepard, 2 huskies, and a husky GSD mix). I've always had pets - cats and dogs. I'm a new owner to 2 bearded dragons as well. I had a sheltie for 13 years as a tri-paw and welcome any pups that need extra love and attention I'm working part time and am able to drop in for your pets in the evenings and weekends when my schedule permits! I can do weekly visits or just one time depending on your needs. Each babe is cared for individually. No one will be left alone and will always be secure in handling. I understand that not all babes can be off leash or trusted with other pets, sometimes items in the yard or house can be scary.

About: I had my first pet sitting experience when I was 13 years old, not including the family pet. I have cared for animals of all shapes and sizes since then. I love working with animals and learning about their personalities. I am okay with reactive animals and have worked with different ones. I am willing to work with your animal's needs in any way, including medication and certain training exercises that you request. I do not work a job at this time, but I fill my time with odd jobs for others while I wait for college to start back up in the fall! I like to stay busy and do anything from pet care, to shopping for others, to day care for family members! With that being said, my schedule is pretty flexible, especially with advanced notice! I will follow any instructions given and am always ready to make sure your pet is happy and well taken care of. I will do whatever your pet needs to stay happy and healthy.
