About: I believe in taking care of any furry family member, whether they are puppies or older puppies. I am a mother to a beautiful Rottweiler, a long haired dachshund and a Morkie who I love with all my heart. I believe in keeping the parents involved in all the aspect of the dog sitting keeping them informed and making sure they know their family members little tail is always wagging - I make sure to keep constant communication with pawrents so you guys never miss a second of their day. I love to go on walks with them and take them to the parks and if we so happen to get dirty playing outside I make sure that they come back home clean and fresh. I love to make doggies smile and happy. I have no concern with large breed dogs and small breed as well so truly no dog turned away. I work with rover full time and go to school as well, on my off days I like to keep active taking my own dogs for walks and I figured people as busy as I am could use the help as well so I would love to be able to assist with taking your doggies out too! As mentioned before I like to keep the pawrents up to date as I am taking care of the doggies! I make sure I have a list of all medications needed, any dietary restrictions, their own day to day schedule with feeding and bathroom breaks so it does not disturb their schedule. I offer at home care, boarding, walks, and drop ins to make it as convenient for your family as possible!

About: I’ve always been an animal lover, and caring for dogs has been a big part of my life. I’ve fostered several dogs over the years — from shy rescues to energetic puppies — and it’s taught me how to be patient, gentle, and adaptable to each dog’s unique personality and needs. I also have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including high-energy breeds like my own husky-pit mix. I understand the importance of structure, consistency, and making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for just like they would at home. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or calm companionship, I meet each pet where they are. Pet care is already a part of my everyday life. I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to spend plenty of time with the pets I care for — whether that’s morning walks, play breaks throughout the day, or cozy evenings at home. Because I have my own dog, daily walks, feeding routines, and outdoor time are already built into my schedule. Adding another furry friend to the mix just makes the day more fun! On weekends, I love getting outside for longer walks or park time, so your pup will always have lots of attention and activity When pets stay in my home, I make sure they feel comfortable and cared for just like my own dog. I have a fully fenced-in yard that’s great for playtime and fresh air, and my dog is friendly and well-socialized from years of fostering. I always take the time to introduce pets slowly and safely, making sure everyone feels comfortable and relaxed. I keep a clean, calm environment with plenty of attention, walks, and affection. I also follow each pet’s normal feeding, play, and sleeping routines as closely as possible so they feel right at home. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your space and your rules. I stick to your pet’s daily schedule — from walks and meals to medications and playtime — while keeping everything tidy and organized.

“Julia helped out with a last minute dog sitting for my senior pup. I appreciated her prompt communication and flexibility for my schedule with an early morning drop off. I’d gladly ask her to pet sit again!”

About: I've had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, growing up with them and caring for many others in my neighborhood. From walking and feeding them to giving medicine, I've always been the go-to person for pet care. When I went away to the Army, I got my first dog, which deepened my love and understanding of animal care. Since then, I’ve continued to help watch and care for dogs, including looking after my sister’s dogs whenever she’s away on business. With my lifelong experience and love for animals, I’m dedicated to ensuring every dog I care for feels safe, loved, and well-looked after. I am a college student taking mostly online classes. I have a lot of free time throughout the day to check on your beloved pets! In my home, I have a crate and a large, unfenced backyard for playtime. I have plenty of dog toys to keep them entertained, and they’re always welcome on my furniture for cuddles and relaxation. While in your home, I’ll follow all of your rules to ensure your pet feels as comfortable and happy as possible, just like they would with you.

“Claudia was an amazing sitter for our Otto. She was knowledgeable, kind, and very patient. I was very anxious to leave our pup for the first time but she kept me updated and made me feel at ease. Would definitely book with her again!”

About: I LOVE dog! I've loved them my whole life and I have experience with them big and small. From puppy to adult, and from rehoming to shelter adopted. I am usually always home, I am a stay at home mom and home bakery. My week is usually free in the beginning and end. I don't wish to continue care after 7 unless its an overnight stay. But If anything changes I will update my schedule. I do not have a fence but I live in a house not an apartment, so pets are free to go out for relief and I will clean the yard. I don't have any pets of my own as my family is still deliberating on what to choose.

About: I have worked with many different animals since I was a child. My specialties include dogs and cats. I have helped others raise many puppies and with potty training! I also work well with senior animals. I have animals of my own that I love so much , and I can’t wait to give your pets the same love ! I have a very flexible schedule everyday but Sundays. Sometimes I can make Sundays work. I just need more of a notice for those days. Every other day I’m available for all your pet needs! At home, I have three dogs and a fenced in yard. They are crate trained, and very happy! I will strive to give your animals the same 100% care. I understand the amount of love one has for their pet, so I strive to treat them like my own! I know not every animal is the same and I would love to work with any of their special needs.

“Esteisy was excellent while hosting Koda. She went above and beyond to accommodate my schedule.”

About: I am an avid animal lover raised on a small farm with experience owning/caring for dogs, cats, horses, ferrets, bunnies, and chickens. When I came to UF for college, I missed my furry friends and turned to fostering and pet sitting. I have fostered more than 100 felines aged 1 day-10 years and 25 pups aged 4 weeks-14 years. I have experience managing health conditions such as upper respiratory infections, deafness, blindness, arthritis, diabetes, and cancer. Allow me to provide safe and loving care for your beloved baby. <3 I work part time as a caretaker for young children with flexible hours. I am available weekdays and weekends so no matter your schedule, I can be of assistance! I have a fenced in yard for dogs and a spare bedroom with cat trees, toys, and a large window for kitties. I will always prioritize safety of the animals and communication so that you can rest assured their needs are being properly met.

About: I was raised to meet the emotional needs of pets in my care, and nurture who they are. My dad trained dogs, and I learned to speak in a way they understand. Because I work from home, I am able to be very attentive. My yard is fully fenced in, and I live with four other responsible adults. A quick story from the pandemic: My parents have a Chihuahua-Pomeranian mix name Jacques. One night when it was just him and me, I noticed it looked like he was straining to eat his crunchy food. He was always picky, but that day I noticed him straining to chew like when we bite into a Gobstopper. I picked him up and drove him to PetSmart. We bought Bil~Jac, the softest, healthiest dog food available for a dog his size. “12 pounds of fresh chicken in a 15 pound bag,” it said. This is not an ad, I swear. I remember the first time he tried his new food. He looked at his bowl, looked at me, looked back at his bowl... then, jumped off the chair where he eats, ran and jumped onto my lap, excitedly licking my whole face! Jacques gained 3 pounds in the next month or so, and he was only 5 pounds before we switched food! I love seeing him healthy and happy. My goal is to treat everyone else’s pets like they are members of my family. Because it isn’t always easy to trust a stranger, I believe that it is more important than ever to be accountable and responsible for anyone under my roof. They all deserve my deepest level of care. I work from home as a full-time entrepreneur, and absolutely love animals! I set my own schedule, take good notes and photos, and am very detail oriented. I have a fully fenced in yard and a reliable car. Whether you need to drop your dog off somewhere safe, or need someone reliable to check in, I am someone you can count on.
