“Harlie is amazing. I got some not so great news about my older dog the morning before I went out of town and Harlie has been supportive, communicative and attentive to my girl. She is wonderful! 10/10 recommend. And I am a picky dog mom.”

About: I love animals and have owned birds (zebra finches), ferrets, a dog (Labrador Retriever) and a cat (Domestic Shorthair). During my days in the College of Central Florida, I worked with the two horses they had there: a Thoroughbred named Ellie and an Arabian named Dolly. After graduating with my certificate in equine science, I volunteered at a cat shelter where I swept the floor, cleaned the litter boxes, and socialized the cats. Currently planning on owning a snake (most likely a red-tailed boa) one day. I am a currently unemployed night owl who is free to watch over any and all pets daily day or night throughout the entire week. I make sure that no pet gets into places they don't belong, eat things they shouldn’t eat, or go outside without a leash or harness.

About: I've rescued and cared for six dogs, three became mine. And I' ve dog-sat for friends & family for decades. Dogs love my fenced yard and the looong walks we take in the acres of trails and woods around my house! I'm formally educated and exprienced in animal behavior and comparative psychology. And as a professional conservation biologist, I've spent my career working to protect all animals and their habitats. Caring for critters is my heart & soul. I work from home (complete with a fenced yard) surrounded by many wooded acres for long walks. Dogs welcome day or night, long- or short-term. I'm always here with them. And your dog(s) can either enjoy the company of my two pups, or they can have me, the house, and the yard all to themselves (as my pups love to go stay with their grand-dad down the hill). Boarding dogs can either meet and play with my two pups or they can have me, the house, and the fenced yard to themselves, which ever you/they prefer. The same applies to day-care for dogs.

“Wonderful!! Can't say enough good stuff about Tina. She's a sweetheart and loved my Bernie and she loved Tina. They had a good day with no issues so I was able to travel to Jacksonville for Dr appointments. Tina arrived bright and early ask planned and was very patient about our long day away. Bernie, Mom & Dad love Tina E!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my tailored approach to every pet’s unique personality and needs. I bring years of hands-on experience with both energetic puppies who need structure, play, and patience—and older dogs who require gentle care, medication management, and a calm, reassuring presence. Whether it’s basic training reinforcement for your growing pup or keeping your senior dog comfortable and happy, I provide dependable, compassionate care with a focus on safety and well-being. Your pet isn’t just another client—they’re family, and I treat them that way. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I attend school online, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of free time. This allows me to be fully present and attentive to your pet’s needs throughout the day—whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or just keeping them company. My open availability means I can easily adapt to your pet’s routine and provide consistent, reliable care. In my home, pets are cared for in a safe, clean, and welcoming environment where they’re treated like part of the family. I create a calm, pet-friendly space free of hazards, with plenty of room for play, rest, and relaxation. Whether it’s following specific feeding routines, administering medication, or giving them lots of love and attention, I prioritize their comfort and well-being. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet in someone else’s care, so I provide regular updates and always ensure your pet feels secure, happy, and at home.

“Heather did an outstanding job house-sitting and caring for our four fur-kids from May 31 to June 3. From the start, her communication was excellent — she kept us updated with messages and adorable photos, and she wasn’t afraid to ask thoughtful questions to make sure everything was just right. It was clear our pets loved her, and just as clear that she genuinely loves animals. Knowing our home and pets were in such capable and caring hands made our trip completely stress-free. Thank you, Heather, for your kindness, reliability, and the peace of mind you gave us. We would absolutely welcome you back anytime!”

About: I love every animal and would love to care for your pets! i have so many animals and i been caring for them since they were babies, i have experience with cats, dogs, reptiles, birds, and small animals like hamsters! Caring for the pets in my home is something that I enjoy. Knowing that the litter box is clean is a definite concern for me. I don’t like going into dirty bathrooms and I think my cats feels the same way. When I feed the cats wet food because my one cat has cancer and does not have all his back teeth on one side for the amount of hard food that he would need, I make sure that it is spread evenly so that the other 2 can enjoy some also. I always make sure that the inside fountain has fresh water for them to drink and that they get to spend quality time snuggling with me. I love kitty snuggles and I can’t think of a better way to show love to my animals. I consider our animals as I have stated before an extension of my family. I do for them as I would for myself. They need to know that they are loved and if your animals is feeling lonely or anxiety from you being gone, I would love to show them some affection and play time so that they are entertained and I will also remind them that their person is coming back. Playing outside with them, throwing a ball or Frisbee if your yard is fenced, taking them for walks if that is what they like, curling up with them on the sofa or playing with one of their favorite toys with them. PS. pricing can be negotiated if needed but i will not be taken advantage of💕 i’m so glad and thankful you have considered me❤️ I can work monday through thursday any time of the day! friday i can do any time except 3:30 pm to 9pm but i can come after 9 to do a final check! unfortunately saturday or sundays i can’t due to working all day at my other job:( I have a fenced in back yard and multiple animals, i understand the risk of not paying attention to animals, I would use a leash or harness if you don’t have a fenced in backyard. I have a spare leash if you don’t have one for me to use! I will learn the scheduling and keep you updated ( pictures included! Every morning, I am responsible for feeding our red footed tortoise and the cats. I am also responsible for the litter box. Since I am working part time currently I will have time to play with your family member. To me these are not just animals but extensions of our families. I love walking dogs as I consider it good exercise for me and a social bonding for the dog.

About: Additional fee of $1.5 Per mile if you’re more than 10 miles away from me I have to take Lyft to get to you. No pick up and drop off fee will be applied if you’re in walking distance. Hey there! I’m Yaritza if that’s to hard for you to pronounce you can just call me Rover, your friendly neighborhood pet sitter. I’ve been a dog enthusiast since I was 10 years old—basically a lifetime of wagging tails and slobbery kisses! I have a guide dog who thinks she’s the real boss around here, and she’s always ready to make new friends (just as long as they don’t steal her treats). With 14 years of experience wrangling cats and 12 years of dog adventures under my belt, I’m well-versed in the art of pet pampering. I love walking and playing with dogs, whether they’re zooming around like puppies or taking it easy like wise old sages. I’ve even house-sat for senior dogs, and let me tell you, they know how to live the good life! While I don’t drive, I’ve mastered the fine art of navigating with my guide dog and making sure every pet feels loved and cared for. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry companions I currently have a flexible schedule since I’m not working, so I have plenty of time to hang out with your pets and give them all the love they need. I'm happy to help out on holidays or weekends, too! I believe that good communication with pet owners is key, so I’m always here to chat and make sure we’re on the same page. I will wake up anywhere from 7 to 9 am and give everyone breakfast and medications if needed. Can get up earlier if your pet requires me too for their daily routine. If a walk is In their schedule, I will do that first before breakfast then depending on how tired they are they will wait for half an hour to an hour before having their breakfast. This is due to the heat so they’re walking as early as possible. If your pet is on a different schedule, of course I will follow that so please make sure you provide your pets schedule and medications otherwise they will use the schedule I have below *Water is provided throughout the day unless resting after walks. *The rest of the times that are not outlining the schedule or spent either playing your pet or cuddling with them whichever they prefer *7-8 am Early walk to avoid the heat *7-8 breakfast and bathroom break meds if need if they didn’t need a walk if they went on a walk depending on how tired they are I will have them wait for half an hour to an hour before breakfast *10am-12pm bathroom break *2-4pm bathroom break *5-6pm dinner meds if need *7-8pm short walk if not dark outside. *10pm bedtime Pet safety is my top priority, and I want you to feel completely at ease knowing your furry friends are in good hands. When dogs are in my care, they will always be leashed to ensure their safety and to help prevent any unexpected adventures! As someone with a disability, I take extra care in handling your pets, especially when it comes to taking them for walks. I believe that a smooth and safe experience for both the pet and the caregiver is essential. To further enhance their safety and identification, I will change their collars to Martindale collars with bells. These collars not only look great but also help keep track of your pets, especially if they decide to explore a bit too much! When your pets are in their own home, the only change will be the collars, so they can feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I understand how important it is to keep to their routines, so I will be diligent about following their schedules and any specific needs you may have. Communication is key, so I’m always open to discussing any additional preferences you have to ensure your pets feel happy and safe while I care for them.

“Patty was absolutely AMAZING! She communicated well before, during and after the stay. She consistently sent photos and kept us up to date on our dog. She was very respectful and would definitely use her in the future!”

“Mikaela was great with Athena and Little Bit! This is the first time a new person has interacted with our girls since we have had them. She made friends with them and judging from their reaction when I came home they looked forward to her daily visits.”

About: I care about them as if they were my own. They don't live as long as humans so they deserve the best life we can give them while they're here. The only experience and knowledge I have of dogs and cats is what I've learned on my own with my pets throughout my life. I don't have a job so my availability is mostly flexible. Looking for extra money, I don't have any special skills I just need extra money and love dogs and cats. The only thing I can think of that puts me apart from other services/sitters is the desire and drive to complete any task, besides my love for pets, I have a great work ethic that helps me be motivated to ensure every step was taken in completing a task. Money is also a great motivator but isn't the saying "do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life", that's a great interpretation of my work ethic. I'm currently unemployed. I usually have availability on Saturday, and Sunday. If I am available during the weekend I will update my schedule, otherwise that's my availability. I cannot offer boarding in my home because I live in an apartment where each pet in my home needs to be paid for and accounted for by my apartment management but I will treat your animals and living spaces like royalty and respect all responsibilities asked of me while I care for your pets in your home.

About: I have been watching dogs since I was 8 years old. I have bred German Shepherd puppies most of my life with my family. Dogs are my passion and I love them lots! Would love to watch yours! Love working in The Villages as well! I work remote so I have the ability to watch dogs and even sit with them for a while and let them roam around while I work. I can stay at your house or just do drop ins if you’re more comfortable with that! Would love to talk on the phone prior and introduce myself! Thanks I would rather go to the owners house as I rent and my landlord does not allow pets right now. I do watch animals at my parents house!

“Jasmine was very friendly and kind and did a great job keeping our dog and house sitting. I could tell from my dog’s body language when I came home that she felt safe and happy with Jasmine.”
