About: I have been regularly pet sitting for the past three years, and have sat for various friends' pets in the past. I have cared for senior pets and administered medication. I understand that having the "parents" away can be a stressful time for a pet, and I do my part to ensure that the pets are as comfortable as possible while under my care. I am an artist/freelance designer and side gig virtuoso (that's a fancy way of saying I make my own schedule). I keep things flexible to adapt to different environments. I believe that animals are healers and that we get back the care that we give to them. I am deeply grateful that I get to have the freedom that this and my other gig/freelance work allows me. I hope that is reflected in my care and respect of the clients' home.

About: Hiya! I'm Max (: I adopted my first pet of my own when I was 8, but have lived with pets my whole life. I've watched friends and owners pets for them from puppies to seniors who need special care. I have experience with dogs with bladder problems and who need medication. I also have house sat and pet sat throughout the years. I have a strong love and passion for animals and their care! I am currently taking time off from college (OU Oh Yeah!) and work a lot during the school year so am focusing on less rigid work this summer. I am very flexible as I will be doing odd jobs and don't have a weekly schedule! I have training on cleaning and care taking through my mother who taught me with her own job experience. I have a disabled younger sister who I learned how to be very gentle with as well as helping her be gentle with the pets around her. I spend a lot of my free time cuddled up with my dogs Cashew and Crew or running around playing with them. I try to be aware at all times what their interests are so that I can be the best parent to them.

About: I have been caring for animals in my community for as long as I can remember. I love all animals and have a good understanding of their behavior. I am dependable and trustworthy, and I am open to last-minute bookings. My experience includes administering medication. I can administer oral, topical and injectable medications. I currently work Monday to Friday from approximately 11am to 7 pm Since I work close to home, I can check on your pets during my breaks. Additionally, my boyfriend can stop by to care for and walk your pets when I'm not available. I'm also available to care for your pets in the evenings and on weekends. I ensure that every animal receives the affection and attention I desire for my own pets. Your animals will be loved and kept active! I'm here to meet all your pets' needs. I would be happy to schedule a meeting to introduce myself to you and your pet before your booking start date, and I will send updates and pictures while you are away. About my place- Your furry friends will have full access to my downstairs living room. I have two cats that can be kept upstairs if necessary. The Hocking bike path is located nearby for strolls! I would be thrilled to take your dogs to the closest dog park or even just for a car ride! During house sitting- I can provide updates with pictures of food, water, and the litter box.

About: Hello! I'm a longtime cat and dog owner who loves having animals around. I understand that all animals have distinct personalities and therefore can have unique needs. I have experience with giving cats and dogs medicine and am happy to go for lots of walks and provide some play time! I work full-time during the day, but I’m close enough to home to swing by for lunchtime check-ins or potty breaks. I’m fully available on evenings and weekends for walks, playtime, and overnight stays. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. At my home, I have a backyard that's great for supervised outdoor time, and I live close to a bike path that’s perfect for long walks. I’m attentive to any special instructions and happy to send regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: Experienced, patient, & kind pet care services. I have cared for a wide variety of animals furry, scaled, feathered, and otherwise. I have cared for animals at all life stages; helped cats in labor, bottle fed kittens, trained shelter dogs, provided senior animal care, administered medicines including pills, oral syringes, ointments, eye drops, mucosal membrane gel, subcutaneous fluids, sprays, and topical liquids. I completed the 4H horse husbandry program when I was a kid and I completed the Joel Silverman Foster Dog Handler Certification Course in 2018. I have volunteered at the Brevard County Humane Society (socializing cats and working in their thrift store), S.A.F.E. Pet Rescue (walking dogs and assisting with adoptions), and Saint Augustine Wild Reserve (preparing diets for a wide variety of animals). I currently have a turtle and three rescue pups of my own. I call my dogs my dogters and I treat them accordingly. I will give your fur kids the same level of care. I am a stay at home dog mom looking to re-enter the workforce and caring for animals is the thing I love to do most. I am currently working part-time as a dog bather and caring for pets on Rover. I generally have lots of availability and only really block out times that I have other appointments. I will put your pet's safety first. I know how important details can be. I will make sure the latches are latched, the medications are correct, and preferences are adhered to. I'm reliable, accommodating, and will work to build a genuine rapport with you and your pets.

About: I’ve taken care of friends, families and my own pets since I was about 12. Overnight stays, feeding, walking and bathing. I have also two years of experience caring for dogs at the shelter and currently two cats of my own! I’m currently working part time and in college so plenty of time in between classes to pop in or take your pup for a walk! I plan on doing my best to keep your pet safe. Like always accompanying your pet when playing out side and making sure toys, treats and food are approved by the owner!

About: Hi! I’m a local woman with years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I approach every animal with deep love, respect, & a strong sense of responsibility—safety and comfort are always my priorities. I’m currently studying psychology through online classes, which gives me a flexible schedule and an attentive, thoughtful approach to pet care. One of my favorite things to do is get outside, so if your dog loves adventure, I’d be happy to take them on trail runs or hikes with me! I always approach each pet with gentleness, patience, and respect. Whether it’s a trail run with an energetic pup or a quiet visit with a shy cat, I tailor my care to meet their needs. I’m currently taking online psychology classes, which gives me a flexible schedule and a thoughtful, attentive approach to pet care. Safety, trust, and love are at the heart of everything I do. When caring for pets in my home, I prioritize their safety and comfort above all. I create a calm, secure environment that’s free from hazards (no loose cords, toxic plants, or access to unsafe areas). I make sure each pet has their own space to decompress, especially for cats or anxious dogs. I stick closely to your pet’s usual routine for feeding, walks, medication, and rest, and I keep in close communication with you throughout their stay—updates, photos, anything that gives you peace of mind. I never leave dogs unattended outside, and I make sure doors, gates, and windows are always secure. I also do slow, supervised introductions if there are other animals in the home (or none at all if your pet needs solo time). My goal is to make every pet feel safe, seen, and genuinely cared for while you’re away.

About: I've been around dogs since the day I was born. Now that I'm an adult, when my sister and I go to our parents house, we call it Dr. Dolitte's house, because there are always lots of dogs present. They honestly get treated better than the humans; they eat premium dog food, sleep on the furniture, and get the best treats. During the week I am a full-time special education teacher. Over the summer, I'm generally home full-time minus going to the gym or running occasional errands. Your dog is welcome on my furniture as well as in the bed with me at night if they'd like. I have a 1 year old Yorkie, Walter, that will be available to play with your pup too! I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of running room! I work full-time as a special education teacher. I am home all summer long. During the school year, I am able to come home during lunch as I live just a mile from the building I teach in. My husband and I have a large fenced in back yard. Your pup will be able to sleep in the bed with us and will be treated like one of our own!

About: I grew up working at a farm. We had many dogs, cats, and barn animals as well as guinea pigs, chinchillas, rabbits, birds, and fish. Throughout my life I have shadowed multiple veterinarians, volunteered at rescues, and cared for many other people’s animals and kids! I have attended college for Equestrian Studies too. Caring for animals has always been my greatest passion and I can’t wait to put it to good use by helping you and your animal out when the time calls! Caring for animals is my passions and therefore my full time job. I work a little online from home as well but never when it is taking time away from pet care. Away from home care: In my home I usually have other animals so, if you need care outside your home your pet must be potty trained, vaccinated and good with cats and dogs. We have leads for dogs outside and a large yard. No kennels provided, if you’d like your dog in a kennel, call a boarding facility. Your animal would be staying in a clean and safe bedroom/bathroom area with 24/7 supervision as well as a comfortable bed that is changed after every pet’s stay. They will be taken outside for at least 30 minutes, 4 times a day. You will need to provide food for your pet. In Home Care: If providing in home care for your pet all services are provided from walking and playtime to feeding and training. I also give bathes and brushing. Lots of love is of course always a part of my services as well. The schedule of it is up to you! I can do drop in visits any day of the week but only house sit on the weekend (Fri-Sun). I like to make sure I have plenty of time to spend with my own animals while also serving you. *Care In My Home* If you provide a crate and want me to use it I will but I usually just have your pet hang out with me around the house - it is all pet proof as I have many cats and a dog. If your pet doesn’t like other animals they are welcome to stay in my bedroom as a safe haven. I will be sure to hang out with them lots throughout the day if they are in there. I have a large fenced in backyard and leads for dogs. They are always supervised while outside. I only serve one pet family at a time so your animals won’t be exposed to any other animals other than my own. I do not provide care in my home to cats. *Care In Your Home* I will be with your pet for at least 2 hours at a time twice a day in addition to the evening and morning (10pm-10am) full time. I can bathe, brush, train, walk, and give lots of love at no extra charge!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 15 years of experience caring for pups of all sizes and personalities. I recently started working from home, which means I’m at a desk more than I’d like — so I’m turning my love for dogs into the perfect reason to get outside and stay active. Whether your dog needs a brisk walk or a slower stroll, I’m here to make sure they get the care, attention, and exercise they deserve. Let me help you while your pup helps me get my steps in!! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I’ve grown up with dogs and have cared for them for most of my life, so tending to their needs — whether it’s a walk, a meal, or some playtime — just feels like second nature. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to step away from my desk and give pets the attention they need. Walks and check-ins are a great way for me to stay active and reset my day, so fitting pet care into my routine is not only easy — it’s something I look forward to. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always treat their space and routines with respect. I take the time to understand each pet’s needs, whether that’s a specific walking route, feeding schedule, or just extra belly rubs. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I pay close attention to their behavior and mood so I can adjust my care if needed. My goal is always to make your pet feel like they’re with a trusted friend while keeping your home just as you left it.

Kate is amazing with my cats and dogs - she walks my dogs and has taken care of the dogs and cats while I was traveling too. She is an animal lover and the animals really love her back. She’s very tuned in to what they need and are feeling and you can tell they feel comfortable with her. She’s especially good at gently teaching dogs to mind their manners and also loves to show them a fun time playing and take them for long and stimulating walks. I have seen even the most skittish and ‘fraidy cats warm up to her. Most importantly, Kate is responsible, observant, careful and dependable. I know I can trust her with my fur babies.

What sets Kayla apart is her dedication to providing a safe and nurturing environment, whether it's daily walks, playtime, or simply cuddling on the couch. My cat meows with excitement every time he sees Kayla, a testament to the strong bond and trust they've built. Furthermore, Kaya is highly responsible and reliable. She consistently ensures that my Milo is well-fed, and stays active and engaged throughout the day. I have complete peace of mind knowing my cat is in her capable hands. Kayla also maintains excellent communication. She provides regular updates, photos, and videos, so I never feel far from my kitty, even when I'm away. It's a level of transparency and dedication that truly sets her apart. In summary, I couldn't be happier with the care and attention Kayla provides. She is a animal lover, and the professionalism and commitment to the well-being of pets is truly commendable. I wholeheartedly recommend Kayla to anyone seeking top-tier care for their furry family members.

About: Hi! I’m a local woman with years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I approach every animal with deep love, respect, & a strong sense of responsibility—safety and comfort are always my priorities. I’m currently studying psychology through online classes, which gives me a flexible schedule and an attentive, thoughtful approach to pet care. One of my favorite things to do is get outside, so if your dog loves adventure, I’d be happy to take them on trail runs or hikes with me! I always approach each pet with gentleness, patience, and respect. Whether it’s a trail run with an energetic pup or a quiet visit with a shy cat, I tailor my care to meet their needs. I’m currently taking online psychology classes, which gives me a flexible schedule and a thoughtful, attentive approach to pet care. Safety, trust, and love are at the heart of everything I do. When caring for pets in my home, I prioritize their safety and comfort above all. I create a calm, secure environment that’s free from hazards (no loose cords, toxic plants, or access to unsafe areas). I make sure each pet has their own space to decompress, especially for cats or anxious dogs. I stick closely to your pet’s usual routine for feeding, walks, medication, and rest, and I keep in close communication with you throughout their stay—updates, photos, anything that gives you peace of mind. I never leave dogs unattended outside, and I make sure doors, gates, and windows are always secure. I also do slow, supervised introductions if there are other animals in the home (or none at all if your pet needs solo time). My goal is to make every pet feel safe, seen, and genuinely cared for while you’re away.

About: I've been around dogs since the day I was born. Now that I'm an adult, when my sister and I go to our parents house, we call it Dr. Dolitte's house, because there are always lots of dogs present. They honestly get treated better than the humans; they eat premium dog food, sleep on the furniture, and get the best treats. During the week I am a full-time special education teacher. Over the summer, I'm generally home full-time minus going to the gym or running occasional errands. Your dog is welcome on my furniture as well as in the bed with me at night if they'd like. I have a 1 year old Yorkie, Walter, that will be available to play with your pup too! I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of running room! I work full-time as a special education teacher. I am home all summer long. During the school year, I am able to come home during lunch as I live just a mile from the building I teach in. My husband and I have a large fenced in back yard. Your pup will be able to sleep in the bed with us and will be treated like one of our own!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 15 years of experience caring for pups of all sizes and personalities. I recently started working from home, which means I’m at a desk more than I’d like — so I’m turning my love for dogs into the perfect reason to get outside and stay active. Whether your dog needs a brisk walk or a slower stroll, I’m here to make sure they get the care, attention, and exercise they deserve. Let me help you while your pup helps me get my steps in!! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I’ve grown up with dogs and have cared for them for most of my life, so tending to their needs — whether it’s a walk, a meal, or some playtime — just feels like second nature. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to step away from my desk and give pets the attention they need. Walks and check-ins are a great way for me to stay active and reset my day, so fitting pet care into my routine is not only easy — it’s something I look forward to. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always treat their space and routines with respect. I take the time to understand each pet’s needs, whether that’s a specific walking route, feeding schedule, or just extra belly rubs. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I pay close attention to their behavior and mood so I can adjust my care if needed. My goal is always to make your pet feel like they’re with a trusted friend while keeping your home just as you left it.
