House Sitting Dixieland

“Our dog was well taken care of! We would definitely book with her again. She was caring and communicative while we were away.”

About: I'm easy to get along with and have the right amount of energy for any size pet. I'm able to take care of any of your pets needs. I've owned plenty of animals like dogs and cats and I've grown up learning how to react to a bunch of different situations and the body language of all kinds of animals. I'm currently a stay at home mom of 3 and looking to help out while also making a bit of side money. I'm good at keeping animals of all shapes and sizes under control and calm when needed. I also have a bit of knowledge in vet associated subjects. I have a good memory of routines and what pets like and specific instructions from owners. I'm a stay at home mom of 3 so besides days of the kiddos appointments I'm free all day almost everyday any time! I have a decent sized fenced in backyard with no escape holes for anyone's little escape artists! We currently do not have any pets so there's no problem if your babies don't like other animals but they do have to be okay with kids under 5, besides a train my place is pretty anxious dog friendly!

“We are so thankful for Mattison! She was wonderful with our Frenchie and our kitty. Very caring and so loving! She kept us updated with messages, pictures and videos which we loved. She is highly recommended and we can’t wait to book her again ! Thank you again Mattison!”

“I absolutely adored Penny, she took great care of my animals but also knew I had a stressful day returning to my kiddos that she got the house ready for me and honestly it was amazing. I will forever only hire her for anytime I leave for another holiday.”

About: I am a 47 year old male, whose Air Force duties were crew chief for F-22 fighter jets, serving overseas during the Iraq war. I have top secret security clearance and many missions under my belt. My passion now is animals. I am currently an SPCA foster parent to both dogs and cats. No job is too big or too small when caring for your pet. Whether they have medical needs or just need a happy face to lick, I can take care of it all. I am available day or night with total peace of mind everything will be cared for. I live in South Lakeland. I am retired and available for boarding, client home boarding and care, pet walks and visits. I'm available any day and time. I will answer all requests as soon as I see them. I live alone in a small and safe community, with little traffic, which makes it safe for walks. I have a unfenced yard but I take great care allowing the dog to have freedom in the yard while being on a leash. I have access to a fenced in dog "play" area in my community. My home is non-smoking, cozy, and quiet. I keep the home air cool to provide comfort for the animals. I maintain constant contact with your loved one to know they are safe and happy. I will provide daily texts and photos of the pet, to the owner, to show they are safe and happy.

About: I’m the biggest pet lover I know! I frequently dog-sit and cat-sit for friends and neighbors. Throughout my life, I've had six dogs, two of whom now live with my parents. All of them have enjoyed wonderful lives! One of my special skills is out-energizing dogs during their walks. I love taking them around the lake and enjoying my neighborhood! I often visit my neighbors to check on their pets, change the kitty litter, or just spend time with them—especially when they go on vacation. I also feed and walk my friend's pets. See I create a detailed list of needs and wants for the pets, all discussed with the pet owner to ensure that I understand what is required for their care. I also like to get to know both the owner and the pet before providing care. This allows me to ask questions and gather the necessary information to properly care for the pet.

About: I’m all about fun, friendly energy on every walk. Your pup gets to explore, play, and enjoy a safe, joyful journey every time we hit the pavement or grass! I have tons of pet care experience: I have two senior dogs of my own, aged 13 & 15, who I’ve had since they were old enough to be without their mommas; I’ve worked as a pet specialist at a boarding facility for dogs and cats; and I pet every dog I meet—with permission, of course. Like everyone, I love dogs, and would love to give yours some company on a play visit or walk! I work from home, and have a flexible schedule. I prefer to have a two-day notice, so I can make sure I’m available when you need me, but depending on the day, I could be available same-day too. Just contact me and see! I do not care for anyone’s pets but my own in my home. But in a client’s home, I care for pets by giving them what they need—I think it really depends on the desire of the client and the pets! Case by case basis. Belly and chin scratches are always a given though!

“Took care of my two big dogs without any issues! Highly recommend if you need someone to stay with your pups overnight! Will 100% use Sunni again!”

About: I’ve been raised with a variety of pets since I was a kid. I’ve been pet sitting since college. I have experienced with younger dogs as well as senior dogs. I have a flexible summer schedule for pets that need more care. During the school year, I have a later start and am able to let pets out during lunch. I have experience working with crate trained dogs as well as high energy dogs. I have also worked with pets with special diets or medication needs.

“Great communication, she took great care of our dog while we were away. She administered medication and dealt with his anxiety issues with ease! Highly recommend!”

About: Firstly, I will listen to your pet's needs that you have, and follow them accordingly. Secondly, I will play with your babies and pay attention to them, with love and affection. I will walk with them around the Lake's, and engage them, by talking to them, so that they know they are loved by me. Thirdly, I do like to play catch and engage them in different games, so their time away from you will fly by for them. Lastly, I am not trained in the Heimlich for dogs, nor CPR, but I have had to do the Heimlich on my own dog, whom was choking on food, to save her life. I look forward to playing with your babies. Thank you so very much.

About: Ive had 12 dogs and 3 cats throughout my whole life, and have taken care of them like they were my sibling.Puppies/Kittens, teenagers all the way to their senior years. I know how important it is to make sure your pets are being taken care properly of while you're not there. Im here to assure that. You may even come home to your puppy knowing a new trick. I am an unemployed college student with 1-2 classes a day. I have an open schedule to be attentive to your pets. Animals also boost my serotonin. I love to be outside or inside, so I am willing to accommodate to whatever your buddy needs. I have plenty of places to attentively let your pet play, walk, or relax with no interruptions. I communicate very well and often, if that is what you prefer with knack for following whatever rules are in place. I have an immense amount of patience, love and attentiveness within me helping me thrive under pressure and care for all beings.

About: I've been pet sitting for over 5 years and genuinely treat every pet as if they were my own. I believe animals deserve patience, love, and exceptional care, and I take pride in making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while their family is away. My goal is to provide dependable care, personalized attention, and peace of mind for both pets and owners. 🐾❤️ I work part-time in the restaurant industry and have a flexible schedule that includes a mix of morning and evening shifts. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize, so I carefully plan my schedule to ensure every pet receives the attention, exercise, companionship, and care they deserve. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply providing comfort and company, your pet's needs will always be met. When I'm not working, I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your furry family members. When caring for pets in a client's home, my goal is to maintain their normal routine and provide a safe, stress-free environment while you're away. I take the time to learn each pet's specific needs, preferences, and any special instructions to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. I treat every home with the utmost respect and every pet as if they were my own, providing plenty of love, attention, exercise, and companionship. I also prioritize clear communication and regular updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

“I feel so lucky to have found Lauren! She’s super friendly, the dogs LOVED her, and she left the house immaculate! A total win! She also communicated throughout the stay and sent picture updates. She made me feel at ease. I’ll be reaching out to her every time to care for the pups!”

Andrea C.

About: Loving care for your furry friends, treated like family and cared for. I have a full green back private yard, love walking and have an active lifestyle. Happy to host your furry family with me. I work from home, I take few breaks to go on walks and have my own transportation to bring food or go to parks or groceries. I have a private patio, I have a secured locked home. I also have a fenced backyard and cameras on my door. Keep all indoors.

“Shawnee was so sweet with our 11 yr old Wyatt. She stayed in contact with texts and photos. I was very nervous about leaving Wyatt as we have not left him with a sitter but her calm and kind demeanor kept him content. Highly recommend!”

“Christina did a wonderful job with my two little dogs! We felt totally comfortable leaving our pups in her hands and won't hesitate to use her services again!”

I am working part time in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis. I work with children with Autism by the day and can care for animals in the afternoon and evening. I am great at walks, play time, feeding, and cleaning up after pets. I own a boxer and care for him appropriately while also providing love and attention.

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats for neighbors, family members, and friends since I was 10 years old. Through this experience, I have developed strong animal care skills and a genuine passion for working with pets. I am comfortable around animals of all temperaments and enjoy building positive relationships with them. I have a flexible schedule and can provide consistent, dependable care for your pets throughout the week, giving them the attention and affection they need while you’re away. I have a secure, fenced-in yard and do not currently have any pets of my own, allowing me to provide focused attention to your pet. I am also happy to crate your dog if that is your preference.
