Dog Sitting in Dunedin

“Emily is amazing! It was my first time leaving my baby for so long and she was so caring and attentive. I am so grateful for all the pictures and little updates I got. I looked forward to each one! Thank you Emily for making it easy to take a trip and know that my little Willow was taken care of and getting love!!”

“Mason is great with my Lola! He has a gift with making dogs feel at ease, which in turns helps me feel at ease. He’s very attentive to her needs, and she enjoys his playful nature and company! We look forward to continued walks/visits/ and stays! Lola will be in great care!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats before I reached the age of double digits. Bruno was the first cat my family ever got, he was found in the rafters of our garage, he was so small he had to be nursed from a bottle. He won sweetest cat at the local library, and the next year we found Gus in our bushes on me and my twin brothers 6th birthday. We slyly convinced our mom he was a gift from God and we got to keep him! A couple years later, we dropped into the humane society and fell in love with a grey kitten, and of course, my brother and I pulled out our puppy dog eyes, and Junie B Fox Fire came home with us. It was a full house, three cats, two kids, and one mom. Eventually, it was time to convince my mom to get a dog. We ended up falling in love with a golden doodle and we named her Paisley. And finally, my brother and I felt satisfied with our Animal House. Our animals all lived long happy lives. Our three cats all passed away at 20, and Paisley at 16. They were always treated like family. Those 20 so years did not come without their scares. We had a few times the vet told us there was practically no hope, but Im convinced the love our family had for our animals bent reality, and every time, they were okay. Sometimes surgery was needed, other times just hope. But I am proud of the way I was raised to treat animals, and I thank my mom for that. In my 20s I moved in with my now ex fiance, and we got a dog together. An australian shepherd (I will adopt next time!), she was a puppy. We trained her, loved her, and I was her mom. Sprinkled through the years other cats entered our orbit as we took in family cats whose owner had passed. We became another animal house! unfortunately those cats were older so we got them on their ladder parts of life, and so when our apartment had no more cats, we decided it was time for a kitten! Together we raised our kitten Henry, and Aussie Skylo. I was their mom for about 7 years until we broke up, and tragically my ex stole them, and ran away with his mistress. There are no words for the black hole that left behind. It was right after the break up my family simultaneously lost three of our cats and our dog. Yes they lived a long life, but for the first time ever, I had NO animals in my care. I didn't know how empty that could feel! I don't want to make this a sob story, but I want to explain why you are just seeing a kitten in my photos. I moved to FL after the break up, and that is where I found Roary my now cat, who was 5 weeks old dodging cars in the middle of the busiest intersection in Fort Lauderdale. I was the only one on the ground to pick her up, I wasnt ready for a cat, but life did its life thing, and I am so blessed to have her by my side now. I am back in Florida, and ready for Rover! I am nurturing, thoughtful, attentive, and not to pat myself on the back.. but I do think I speak fluent animal. I would be so grateful for the opportunity to watch your beloved pet! I am currently free as a bird here in Florida. My availability is adaptable as I can fully commit to my time here on Rover! Safety always comes first. In your home, I follow your routine exactly; feeding, meds, and house rules. On walks I double check leashes, hold a tight grip, stay alert to traffic and other dogs, and never let your pet off leash. I'll send photo updates every visit so you always know your animal is safe and happy.

“Thank you for being so good to Winston! ❤️”

“Alyssa was amazing! She took great care of our three cats, two of which are special needs. She spent quality time making sure they were well fed, cleaned up after, exercised, and loved. Our special needs boys make quite a mess and she endured everything was pristine! I would highly recommend Alyssa! We hope to schedule with her on future trips!”

“Bianca was really good with my dogs. They seemed happy when I came back. She sends really sweet pictures and spends a lot of time with the animals. She was also able to come at the last minute to help with the dogs. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”

“Rebecca is amazing! She takes incredible care of my babies… I have three English bulldogs and a cat. They are never stressed out, and I am grateful for how responsive she always is! highly recommend.”

Melissa P.

“Angelica did a great job checking in on our kitty and our kitty definitely made friends with her. He's kind of picky about which people he trusts and who he stays away from. But Angelica's pictures show him meeting her at the door, staying close and posing, letting her brush him and rub his tummy. We look forward to working again with her in the future.”

Gary W.

“Dawn is fantastic! She is certainly a pet person. My dog Paddington hates to me alone, and when I am going to be out of the house for an extended time I call on Dawn to drop in on him. She gives him love and attention. It has been a blessing having Dawn to help out when needed!”

About: I love dogs! I have cared for my own most of my life. As a child and an adult. I have also had the opportunity to care for dogs for friends and family. I am home full time and I am available to spend lots of time with your dog. I volunteered at an animal shelter for short time and handled a variety of different dogs. I have experience in caring for senior dogs and with giving medicines and vitamins. I will snuggle with your dog on the couch, bed or right down on the floor and make sure they are well cared for. I understand the need for finding the right person to care your baby as I have had to do so for my own. I would love the opportunity to do that for you.

“Linda is always so flexible with being able to walk my dog at the last minute. She is very communicative and makes me feel comfortable when I have a day of plans and cannot take my dog out ❤️”

About: I have had a pet in my home since I was born. The first dog I remember was Ginger, then PJ, then Sparkie, then Jenna and Millie, Anja and Argus, then Bonnie and Clyde, and now we have our very friendly buddy, Gustav. They ranged from a miniature Schnauzer and Jack Russels to Rottweilers and German Shepherds. My closest friend's dad bred and trained German Shepherds while I was in high school. I was surrounded by a pack most of my life and loved it. I owned a local pup friendly pub for 14 years and made it a point to great every dog that came in. I am hoping for the chance to see some of those dogs again! My current schedule is very flexible, so I can focus on the pet's care when they need it. I understand that different pets require different things at different times and I am able and willing to accommodate with a bit of forewarning. I have a fenced in yard and a very friendly 10 month old puppy who loves new company. He and I go for walks around our neighborhood daily and we do outings to the park a few times a week. I have 2 cats that are indifferent to dogs and they have their own separate space so they can be alone if they want. I deep clean the litter boxes at least twice a week and would be happy to do the same for your kitties at your home. (Access to a hose outside is very helpful for this) I have room for crates and pets are not left outside unattended. I am very vigilant about picking up poop and want to keep a clean yard for the pups to play in.

About: A passionate animal advocate and care giver, I have experience with dogs of all sizes and most breeds, including wolfdogs and wolves in rescue and private homes. With veterinary hospital experience, I am comfortable administering medications and helping them feel safe. If your dog has special dietary needs or is nervous while you are away, I am happy to sit patiently with them until they are comfortable and ensure they get proper water, nutrition have productive potty breaks. I am super sensitive to energy as a Reiki Master and trained in animal communications behavior, so I will anticipate your dog's needs with every attention to help them feel comfortable and calm. With my gentle touch, I will care for your dog as if they are my own with compassion and lots of love. I will send photos and videos as you wish during visits. It's 2024 and I am back petsitting! I am available during days of the week to schedule time to spend with your fur babies and give them all the attention they need. I do not care for pets in my own home at this time. That could change in the future, but as of now, it is not an option.

About: Please read through all of my profile before submitting a request as I have specifications that your dogs may or may not meet. I am a semi retired certified dog trainer and have been training and boarding for 20 yrs. I worked closely with rescues and animal shelters and was training director for a shelter in southern California. I require a mandatory meet and greet before accepting new dogs, but there could be an odd exception. I generally only take one dog at a time there could be an exception which we would discuss beforehand. I am rarely gone for more than two hours at a time. All adult dogs must be spayed/ neutered.. My Border collie mix is a playful boy but is also respectful of older dogs who dont want to play. I have a pool. During the day, so your dog will be supervised when outside. I am happy to work on training while boarding if you wish. Thanks, and I look forward to meeting your kids! NOTE: I no longer take in bull breeds or mixes of the breed. I'm retired so home most of the day so we get to play and cuddle most of the daytime and night. It's up to them where they want to sleep. Padlocks on gates. Safety is my number one priority. I worked many years in animal shelters and as a trainer and know exactly how to keep them from getting out and lost.
