“Taylor was awesome from the get go! She accommodated our requests for dates by rearranging her schedule so she could care for our dogs. She checked in daily morning and nightly to put our minds at ease that our dogs were ok. We would highly recommend Taylor’s services!”

About: I’ve always loved helping take care of animals! I have dogs of my own and I help my family and friends with their animals as well! I have mostly helped with dogs but I have helped take care of a few cats as well for my friends! Anywhere from staying with them, walking them, or just spending time with them! I will be sure to love your fur babies like I do my own! So I currently work full time at the hospital on night shift! My schedule is always different so it will make it harder to stay nights! But I can easily fit in walking, letting them out, feeding them, and loving on them! If your dogs were to stay with me I do have a fenced in yard and 2 other dogs to keep them company and play with! I could crate them if needed as I do crate my own dogs when I am not home! Me and my cousin so let our dogs sleep in the beds with us and we do let them on the furniture! We also have multiple toys that they can play with as well!
“I booked Elicia for house sitting, she was very nice and as far as I can tell did a great job taking care of my animals and house while we were gone! My only critique is that I wish I would’ve received some pictures over the weekend, but I know she did fine with the pups and my cat☺️”

About: I’ve had animals my entire life. From cats, dogs, hamsters and all the way to horses! I’d love to take care of your dog in my home where they will have lots of fun. Receive lots of treats and be loved as if they were my own. I have a Corgi named mocha who might as be my child who is super friendly and loves to play. The dogs will be taken care of and walked 3-4 times during the day and twice in the morning and twice at night. You will have nothing to worry about. Everyone loves a good schedule! I do live in an apartment but during the dog your dog will be baby gated into the bathroom with plenty of room to run around and enjoy themselves while I am at work. We also have a dog park that we will frequent and love to go on plenty of walks. As long as I am home your dog will not be put up in a crate or kennel because my dog won’t be
About: I have approximately 3 years of experience working at an animal hospital as a vet technician and kennel technician. I also have experience working at wildlife rehab centers and a state laboratory for animal disease and pathology. Pets that I have cared for are dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, mice, ducks, fish, parakeets, pigs, mules, chickens, geese, cows. I have been the “go to” person for all family members that have pet care questions. As a teen, I walked my German shepherds every day, and took charge of providing medications like insulin and heartworm control. Fast forward 25 years later-I have cared for many animal species! Most of all, I love animals so much, and my pets are incredibly spoiled. I work full time 9-5 Monday through Friday in Tallahassee. The default available hours are shown as 3 -10pm; however, I am available for home visits and walks as early as 6 pm Monday- Friday. I have full availability for Saturdays and Sundays, and I will update my availability for holidays. I live in Monticello, but willing to commute up to 30 miles on weekends. I have a fenced 1.6 acre lot. I prefer to do home visits since pets feel safer at their own home, but they can be dropped off at my house as well. I will walk, feed, water, provide medications, have playtime and exercise, and observe for any overall health issues. And most of all spend time and comfort them while you are away
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals ever since I was 12 from dogs to cats and farm animals! I grew up with my own dogs, cats and horses along with chickens. Family and friends always relied on me to pet sit for them whenever it was needed because they knew they would be cared for just like my own! I treat them with as much love and care as if they were my own. I have lots of patience and skill with all ages of animals. I can walk, bathe, feed and play with your animals however they may need it. I currently work full time but get off around 4-5 pm daily and have most weekends off. I don’t mind stopping in to walk them in the afternoons or stay over night with them. I have 5 acres all fenced in and allow my dogs plenty of outdoor time but also willing to keep yours separated from mine if need be! My dogs are super friendly and love meeting a fellow friend.
“Andrew is a very conscientious sitter and we recommend him to anyone. He stayed with our very young toy maltipoo for an evening in our home. Our dog immediately loved him, and ran to the window and cried when he left. From my experience and reading his other reviews, he seems to have a natural way with animals. We will absolutely hire him again in the future.”

About: I’ve taken care of every kind of dog since I was about 10 years old. Throughout the years I have cared for my neighbors and family friends pets along side my own pups. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time and attention to the pets I care for. I plan my days so that walks, feeding times, playtime, and check-ins are done consistently and on schedule. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions for feeding schedules, medications (if needed), potty breaks, and exercise so their pet experiences as little disruption as possible. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where pets can relax, play, and receive lots of attention. I make sure they have a comfortable place to rest, regular potty breaks, supervised playtime, and plenty of affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect I would my own. I stick closely to the pet’s usual routine, provide walks and playtime, keep food and water fresh, and make sure the home stays tidy. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel reassured that their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away. My goal is always to make pets feel loved, safe, and stress-free while their owners are gone.
About: I'm super flexible and can tailor my approach to fit exactly what your pet needs! Plus, I'm all about making sure your furry friend feels safe, loved, and has a blast while you're away. I make pet care a priority by structuring my day around their needs. Walks, playtime, and feeding times are all carefully planned to ensure they get the attention and care they deserve. It's like having a furry, fun-sized boss who dictates my schedule! Safety first! Whether it's my place or yours, I make sure the environment is free of hazards. Trust is built through consistent, loving care, and I always respect your home and rules. Basically, I treat every pet like they're my own and every home like it's my grandma's – with lots of love and respect!

“Louisa did an amazing job! I have a kitty with special care/feeding instructions that require attention to detail that she followed perfectly. She also took great care of my home and provided updates on everything as I away. I could tell she genuinely cares about animals just from our initial meet & greet too. I always get so nervous leaving my cat when I go on trips but Louisa absolutely earned my trust and I will be booking with her again in the future for sure as long as she’s still pet sitting. Thank you so much again :)”
