House Sitting in Crawfordville

“Shafika is amazing! My pups are not the easiest, but she handled them beautifully. And they love her so much! Even my one pup who is slow to warm up was out and about with her and slept with her every night. I got great reports throughout the day and soooooo many pics! I am a natural born worrier, but I had a great time on vacation knowing they were in such capable, loving hands! And to top it off, the house was clean when I got home! I can’t say enough great things about Shafika!!!”

About: I’ve been a dog (and occasionally cat) owner for over 30 years. I’ve raised puppies and cared for them in their senior years, as well. My latest rescue, Darcy Grace, passed away this year. I work part time close to my home. I have flexibility to leave and return to work when needed. I look forward to having dog smiles and cat purring in my life again. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of shade trees for outside lounging. I have a doggie door that can be open or closed whichever you prefer. I will follow your instructions for care and give lots of love while you are away.

“I would recommend Andrew to anyone and have no reservations booking him again. My two adult pitbulls adore Andrew. I'm borderline concerned that they like him more than me. Andrew was in contact with me everyday I was away. He sent videos and photos as well as exact times when they started and ended walks. Additionally Andrew asked permission before doing things. Despite being a fairly relaxed person with people using the amenities, I truly appreciated Andrew asking for my consent prior to using them. Definitely give Andrew a call and see if he's available to watch your fur babies. I'm glad I did.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is a lifelong bond with animals and years of hands-on experience that began when I was just 4 years old. I grew up living with my grandfather, who always had five dogs at a time. Being surrounded by animals from such a young age taught me the importance of consistent, compassionate care. Over the years, I’ve been trusted by family, friends, and neighbors to care for their pets, and I treat every animal like part of the family. When my parents gifted me my own puppy, I took formal puppy training classes to better understand behavior and effective training techniques—skills I still use with every dog I care for. Beyond puppy care, I have extensive experience with senior and special needs dogs. I helped care for my grandfather’s dog who was blind, deaf, and had a tumor, making sure he felt safe, loved, and comfortable every day. Currently, I’m caring for my own senior dog who has cancer. I manage her treatment, including chemotherapy appointments and administering medication, with patience and dedication. This experience has deepened my ability to care for aging or ill pets with empathy and attentiveness. Whether it’s basic training, special medical care, or just keeping them company, I’m passionate about making sure every pet feels at home, safe, and well cared for. I’m currently waiting to start college and will be home for the next month, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m more than happy to adjust my routine to fit your pet’s needs—whether that means walks, playtime, feedings, or just keeping them company. Your pet’s comfort and care are my top priority, and I’ll work with you to make sure they get exactly the attention they need while you’re away. When caring for pets—whether in my home or a client’s—I make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for at all times. I'm highly attentive and have no problem going the extra mile, whether that means long walks, park visits, beach outings, or just lots of playtime and companionship. If caring for pets in my home, I offer a secure and comfortable environment. I have a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play and live in a neighborhood with a dog park just minutes away. I’m happy to take dogs on walks, jogs, or runs, and I’m always ready for a good game of tug-of-war or fetch. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, you can count on me to be reliable, punctual (I aim to arrive early), and respectful of your space. I can quickly get to your home in case of emergencies and will follow any specific instructions you provide. I'm comfortable with crate training and can easily manage routines around feeding, medication, or special care. No matter the location, my goal is to ensure your pets feel happy, safe, and cared for 24/7.

About: My family had a pair of corgis when I was a kid, I didn’t realize how much I missed them until I started petsitting for families with dogs in 2012. I’m currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to care for and play with your fur babies. I’m available fully Wednesday thru Saturday and sometimes I can extend care for them until Sunday or Monday. I will follow and double check all the instructions and I will contact you immediately with any questions or concerns I have regarding your fur babies.

About: Been around dogs, cats, gerbils, and birds throughout my life. All pets are considered family. They need love, respect, and guidance, too. I have walked dogs, groomed cats, cleaned out kennels, cages, and cat boxes, and play is important even for older pets. Most of my days have availability for pet care. A good time for care could be early morning, mid day, or late afternoon/evening just keep communication clear and timely. I have two cats who require biscuit making cuddles and play everyday. I groom their fur and shorten their nails as needed. Feeding for them is twice a day and their play incorporates exercise.

About: Beginning in my preteen years, I have cared for various breeds of dogs, from newborn puppies to full-grown dogs. I'm confident in understanding what your furry friend needs or wants, whether a bath, bathroom break, playtime, dinner, or snuggles. I’m a travel nurse with Fusion Medical, and I recently decided to move back home to Tallahassee. As of now, I can accommodate any scheduling needs. I am taking a break from fieldwork and will focus on advancing my career. Sadly, I can’t accommodate your furry friends in my home at this time. However, I can accommodate their needs in their own safe place. I can also continue and maintain their care plan according to your wishes.

About: Pet sitting is more than just taking care of an animal for a few days. It's about giving the pet love, attention, and trust while their owners are away. In my 5+ years of experience as a pet sitter, I understand the importance of maintaining the pets' routine and treating them with the same care as their owners would. I have looked after pets of all shapes and sizes from dogs to cats, to fish, and even exotics such as geckos and bearded dragons. I am well aware of the different personalities, temperaments, and needs of the various animals I have cared for. My responsibilities during pet sitting include feeding, watering, walking, playing, and administering medicine if needed. I am dependable, dedicated, and will go above and beyond to ensure my furry clients' happiness while their owners are away. I pride myself on going the extra mile with healthy activities like long walks or games of Frisbee to stimulate exercise and excitement. My love for animals is what initially brought me to become a pet sitter and guardianship of their well-being is my top priority. You can trust that your pet will be in capable and caring hands. I work a full time job, but I always make the time to take care of the furry friends who need it. I make sure to spend extra time when I have it available. I make sure to follow the instructions provided, as well as handle anything that needs taken care of such as cleaning up messes when there is an accident. I always take the time to take pictures to send to show your furry friend/child is doing alright while you’re away.

“Olivia was so polite, kind, and patient! She loves animals! It was wonderful knowing that we could leave without worrying about a thing! Thank you so much, Olivia!”
