Would recommend her for anyone considering her services, and I’m looking forward to booking another a trip with her looking over my fur baby.”
About: I have been watching and taking care of dogs since I was 17. From pet sitting to just drop ins. Ive done it all. Can handle any size dog. Very good at giving medication. I also have a cat and have taken care of cats for about 5 years now. I will take great care of your babies. I live in the Villages and I am currently a stay at home wife.

“Sam was absolutely perfect with our pets and our home. Everyone was happy when we got back and Sam even left a light on for us as we were returning after dark. Highly recommend him to take care of your pets and home. He’s such a calm presence that even our high strung Chinese Crested took to him in no time.”

“Nick is amazing. His attention to detail while taking care of my paralyzed pup was great. Everything I asked him to do, for our pup, was executed to the tee. I was able to show nick how to express my pups blader once and he was able to repeat it with no problems. Nick kept a great line of communication open with me and was thoughtful enough to send me a picture of his time with my pup.”

About: I am a native Floridian that grew up with a menagerie of pets. Dogs, cats.... I love them all. There has not been a time in my 60 years that I have not owned and cared for a pet. My pets have always been my babies. They sleep with me but have been crated when needed. Pets are part of my family. I am retired and spend my days sewing or baking. I have no daily schedules to meet so I am available as often as needed. I can come to your home as often as needed for potty breaks and walks. I am available to house and pet sit if needed. Having an open schedule leaves me plenty of time to take care of your fur baby
