About: I like to come to pets home so they are comfortable and don't have to be uprooted. I can feed them,walk them and play with them all in the comfort of their own home. I work part time so I have plenty of time for your dogs needs and they get extra i time on my 3 days off. I will be there to let them out, walk them and feed them and give lots of love in the comfort of their own home
About: When growing up my mom ran a dog rescue, so I leaned how to train and calm dogs during a stressful time. I then volunteered at the local shelter to get my volunteer hours in high school. I recently worked at a vet where i further learned how to administer medications. I am currently a college student working part time, and so there are multiple days and times where I am free to hang out with these pets! I make sure to always keep a tidy litterbox in my apartment for my two boys. I promise keep your place as clean as can be while watching your pets. I can also crate them, or anything of the sort that they’re normally used to when you’re gone.
“Kylie took great care of my two dogs while we were gone for the weekend! I was home for a meet and greet during the first visit and my dogs instantly loved her. I was nervous not having a friend/family member take care of them for the first time but she sent me tons of cute pictures putting my mind at ease! I will definitely use Kylie again in the future!”
“Deborah was fantastic! She walked me through the steps for what she needed, asked questions and sent me pics of my cat. I was very worried at first, never having had a pet sitter before, but Deborah kept the lines of communication open and put my mind at ease!”
About: I’ve had dogs in my house since I was born, they’re a natural element of the home. I’d love to cater to your pups needs & give them the best care while you are away! I am currently a nighttime bartender part time, my shifts are from 4-9 pm in the Atlantic Beach area. It’s a short enough shift that I’m able to pet sit & pay visits before & after my job! They’re also pretty flexible with me if I need to leave earlier. I do not have space to house your pet, as I unfortunately live in an apartment complex. But I can assure you I will keep your pet company, and can do any house chores if you need while you’re away! I also have my phone on me at ALL times!
“Machalia was amazing! She was so nice and communicated well throughout the whole process! As soon as I met her for our meet and greet I felt so much better knowing my babies were in her care. I have two cats and one is older and has diabetes so I am always extremely nervous trusting her with anyone. Machalia kept in contact the whole time and made sure to send updates and lots of pictures. She gave me peace of mind by including a picture of Honey’s dose each time she gave her her insulin (which she didn’t have to do but she still did it each time so I knew she was getting the correct dose) My babies were in such great care and I will definitely be using Machalia in the future- I highly recommend her especially to those who are nervous about someone administering medication!!!”
“Shalik has taken great care of my boy a few times now. Each one of my dogs have different medical issues as they are all senior dogs. In Addition, my rescues has alot of fears so slow introductions are best with him. I was worried my rescue would not accept a new person caring for them but Shalik came over more than one day to get him to be comfortable with him. Shalik was very patiently and kind. He was knowledgable on how to handle more challenging situations. I feel very comfortable leaving all three of my babies with him knowing they are in good hands. I will definitely call upon his services in the future. Thank you Shalik!!!”
