House Sitting in Brooksville

About: I've spent my entire life surrounded by animals. Cats, dogs, bunnies, and fish. You name it! It was like growing up with LOTS of brothers and sisters! Even my first job was in the animal field - at a petting farm :D. Animals are truly the best therapists, friends, and snugglers. I even got my pet first aid certification. Not only for my pets, but for yours too! I currently have a part time job so I have tons of extra play time for your babies. my availability is pretty open and flexible. So feel free to reach out if you have any questions or want to work something out! I like to do pet sitting in my clients home so the animals can be in a familiar environment. Many fur babies find themselves anxious when their owners go away. So to minimize that fear, I like to have them in their natural environment with all the sounds, smells, and surroundings they're used to. I also like to do meet and greets ahead of time to make sure all parties are fully comfortable and assured! :)

“Cheryl is the absolute best. We would not Trust our babies with anyone else. From her attention to them, respect for our home and cleaning up everything, I can not say enough positive things about Cheryl. She is like a part of our family now!”

About: Looking for a compassionate, reliable critter sitter with strong communication skills and extensive animal experience? I’d love to help! I regularly dog sit for friends, neighbors, and clients, and I also volunteer at a local county animal shelter as a dog walker. Through this work, I’ve received hours of formal training and am well-versed in dog behavior, enrichment, handling techniques, and training methods. As the guardian of three rescue dogs, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pet. Here are three reasons I’d be a great fit as your sitter: 1. Animal Advocacy: My shelter work has given me hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. 2. Active & Capable: I live an active lifestyle and enjoy running, strength training, and yoga - so I’m comfortable handling high energy dogs or strong pullers. 3. Compassionate Care: I treat every dog with patience, respect, and kindness, ensuring they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I'm currently working full-time remotely. Having the flexibility to work from anywhere has offered my opportunities to help look after neighbors, friends, and clients beloved four legged friends while they are away. Saturdays and Sundays are completely open. Before taking on a new client, I schedule a phone or in-person meet-and-greet with two key goals in mind: 1. **Understanding Your Pet’s Needs** I take time to learn about your pet’s personality, preferences, and routines—including likes, potential stress triggers, dietary needs, and any training or behaviors you’re currently working on. This allows me to provide consistent, personalized care that helps your pet feel safe and comfortable. 2. **Building Trust and Clear Communication with You** My priority is giving you peace of mind. I’m highly responsive and easy to reach, so you can feel confident knowing I’m always available if you have questions or need updates. After each visit, I provide detailed check-ins with photos and notes so you always know how your pet is doing.

“Bryanna is fantastic! We’ve never felt so relieved in knowing that we have a person we can fully trust and rely on with our pups. We have a senior dog and a puppy. That combo can be a bit overwhelming, but Bryanna was able to handle them effortlessly. We know we will be reaching out to her again in the future!”

“Giovanna was amazing! We were able to leave and go away for 5 days and not have to worry about our dog at all. She kept us updated on how our little girl was doing and even sent pictures! It was such a blessing to know our pup was in great hands. Can’t thank her enough.”

“Alyssa was amazing! She was available for me last minute when there was an emergency and showed so much empathy to the situation at hand. Alyssa went above and beyond letting me know when my pup had every meal, when she was playing, and sent so many pictures and videos throughout the stay that put me at peace. I will be using Alyssa for all my my care needs!!”

“This was the first time I had a sitter in my home. I was anxious but I knew my sweet dog, Pepper, would be more comfortable and easy at home. Pepper was very comfortable even sleeping in bed with Samantha. Plants were watered and she even made my bed for me as I was arriving home late. I have already booked her again. I would have preferred more communication and pics especially on that first day.”

About: I can’t remember a time in my life that I haven’t had dogs and cats. I have experience with special needs cats, currently have a tripod and one with asthma. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their animals when the need arises. As for dogs… well, they can’t speak, so the obvious form of communication is belly rubs ;) As the son of a Veterinary I have been exposed to all types of animals and situations my entire life and given the opportunity I am confident I can manage all of your fur baby’s needs! I currently have a flexible schedule which allows me the freedom to work around your needs. Rather it is a daily walk, feeding, park play, or house sitting for date night or a getaway I have you covered. I am currently offering services at your home as to accommodate all of your fur baby’s daily routines and needs whenever the need arises.

About: I am an animal lover. I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life as well as goats, chickens, and an occasional bird. I’ve also rescued and/or raised squirrels, rabbits, and a raccoon. I am retired so I have plenty of time to care for your babies. My baby (chihuahua) has epilepsy so I’m familiar with sticking to routines and administering oral medication. I am really quite a home body. I do a lot of crocheting. The only time that is not negotiable is the first and third Saturday 7:00am to 2:00pm of each month when I try to sell my crochet items at the farmers market. Other than those few hours I’m available to care for your babies needs. I’m trustworthy and clean. I will follow your wishes. I can crate your pet or sleep with it. I currently sleep with my chihuahua and my cat. I love to cuddle with them. My dogs are on a schedule for their medications so I would do the same for babies.
