About: Many years experience as a loving pet-parent (cats, dogs, bunnies, guinea pigs, birds and fish). I have worked as a dog-groomer as well. I am retired and no longer have pets but would enjoy helping out with yours. I am retired and have lots of time to play and care for your pets. I currently do not have pets after losing my 22 year old rat terrier last year but would treasure yours like my own. I live in an apartment without a fence but I can take your dog for walks as needed and can give them lots of my time and attention if they are here. Otherwise, I can come to you for their care.
About: Hi! I’m a reliable, caring pet sitter who offers dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and boarding — both in my home and in yours. I truly love animals and treat every pet like part of my family. I’m very responsive, flexible, and available for last-minute and short-notice bookings. My goal is to make pet care easy and stress-free for you — and fun for your pet 🐾 Whether your pet needs a quick walk, overnight care, or full-time attention while you’re away, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy. I send regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: Proud mom of four dogs, a cat and a dragon, you can be rest assured that your furry loved ones are in the BEST hands. I’ve cared for animals since I learned to walk. I have fostered and trained too many animals to count. I’m proficient in caring for, exercising, administering medications, and if need be, cleaning up after your fur baby. Proof is in every interaction!! Everyone wants nothing but the best for their animals. I want the nothing but the best for ALL animals. And that is how I can confidently ensure your babies will be in the best care. “Dogs do speak, but only to those who knows how to listen.” I also provide dog massage for pain, anxiety and calming relief. Do to an early shift, I am available after 9 am. I have a very flexible schedule. Let me know any specific times you require so I can ensure that my school schedule doesn't interfere. Clients are just as important to me as my own fur babies. I treat all animals with the upmost love and adoration as I do my own.
“Kerry is very sweet. She sending us a Pictures of Max allthe time and anytime I wanted to check on Max she was available and answered right away. She is very nice and kind. I would highly recommend her!!!!”

“Abigail did a great job of taking care of my pups. She kept in contact with me and gave updates very few hours, including sending pictures and videos of them. Will definitely use her again. Thank you!”

“Melinda is the best!! She house set for us for a week...I have a very high energy dog and an older dog with a very progressive cancer and she is wonderful with both. I have never seen my dogs (and I have rescued dogs for 35+ years in 2 states) be so calm, happy and absolutely not stressed when we got home. Melinda walked the dogs every day, kept them on their medication regime and feeding schedule, and gave them cuddles and attention the entire time we were gone. She even took care of feeding my wild squirrels, rabbits, raccoons, possums while I was gone. I truly can not say enough about how happy I am with the care she gave my babies!!!!! I will definitely be using her again for all of our doggy care --drop in and walking visits, day checks and any overnights, and all long term house sitting. If you are looking for someone that is trustworthy, loving with the pets, will adhere to schedules, go above and beyond, and just an all around gem, then Melinda is your person!!”

“If you're in need of a dependable and compassionate pet sitter, Lisa should be your choice. Lisa recently stayed at our home to take care of our three dogs, including our senior dog, and our cat. We were confident we made the right decision as soon as Lisa arrived. Throughout our time away, Lisa provided us with regular updates on our pets and sent us numerous photos to help ease our minds. What really impressed us was Lisa's responsiveness to any questions or concerns we had during our absence. It was reassuring to know our furry family members were in capable hands. Overall, we are extremely satisfied with our experience with Lisa. She went above and beyond to ensure our pets were well taken care of and that we felt at ease while we were away. We highly recommend Lisa to anyone seeking a pet sitter who genuinely cares for their furry companions.”

“This was our first time using Rover & let me just say…any others have big shoes to fill after using Christine. We wholeheartedly trusted her and chose her due to her understanding my sick dog’s needs, and I could just tell she had a kind heart. This is hard to find. Our house was clean and in the same shape we left it, and she even left us a sweet note upon arrival at home. If you are on the fence about booking, let this be your sign to use christine!”

About: I’ve owned a few dogs growing up and I took care of feeding, bathing, and walking them every day and walks were every other day. I’m off work usually by 4:00, Monday through Friday but have weekends off. Your fur babies are welcome into our home whenever a play date is scheduled or if you need a weekend get away I’m more than happy to come to your home to take care of them. Their comfortability is my #1 priority. I make sure while I am at the owners home I either take their dog(s) on a walk or if there’s a yard go outside and play for 30-40 min to get the zoomies out; then go back inside, feed and relax, outside break one more time before I leave.
About: Ive had dogs and cats growing up. My favorite was my best friend Charlie he was a white German shepherd. I trained him to do tricks. He was a very easy to train. He made me look like a pro. My schedule is very flexible. I do rideshare and food/grocery delivery on the side I can accept pet sitting last minute and I am also available during holidays. I would rather care for your pet in your home where your pets food, toys, and medication is and feels safe and secure in there home.
“My husband and I are so grateful we found Ashton. She maintained excellent communications and care of our fur baby in our home while we were away. She is trustworthy, responsible, and flexible to your needs. Highly recommend and will use again.”

About: I have had dogs all my life. I don't believe in crates and cages so don't ask me to do that. Dogs must be part of your family and treated as such. I am healthy, retired. I don't have any time constraints. I can work around your schedule. I am 50 year local of NW Florida area. Pets are treated and respected like family. They are well fed and social. My pets have a variety of enrichment sources, comfy accommodations and treats.
About: I take pet care seriously and treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I provide consistent updates with photos, follow all care instructions closely, and stay attentive to each pet’s unique needs and personality. With a disciplined, trustworthy work ethic and a calm approach in any situation, you can feel confident knowing your pet is in responsible and caring hands. Pet care fits into my routine really easily because I already structure my day around it. I make sure all feedings, walks, playtime, and check ins are done on time and never rushed. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets naturally blends into my daily and weekly schedule. Whether it is a quick drop in or extended care, every pet still gets the same attention, patience, and love as if they were my own. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always stick closely to the pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of potty breaks or litter box cleanings, and receive lots of attention and affection. I spend time playing, walking, or just keeping them company depending on their personality and energy level. I keep their space clean and safe, follow any special instructions or medication needs, and always send photo updates so owners feel at ease while they are away.
