My husband and I have 2 sweet baby girls! One of them has severe anxiety with other people and the other will be your BFF! ? We decided to go the beach last minute with my in-laws. This was the longest we have ever left them. From the first moment I communicated with Amanda, she was very detailed and put my mind at ease about leaving my babies. She came for drop-in visits and stayed over time caring for and loving on our dogs! She sent pictures and videos at every visit and ensured they had fresh water and food. She worked so hard to reach out anxious Remi girl and to my amazement, actually got her kind of close, and Remi wasn't even barking. ❤️ When we arrived home from our trip, Amanda had left a daily report detailing every visit and left a super sweet personalized note to us and the girls. The most special touch of all was the little basket of treats and toys she had on the counter! ??We will definitely use book with her again! Your babies will be in great care of you decide to book with her as well!

Nyah was on time and took great care of our dog squad. She must have tired them out pretty good because when I got home they were happy but not the usual spastic insane maniacs that I expected. I will look for her next I need a Rover.

About: I'm a responsible and compassionate pet sitter with hands-on experience working at an animal rescue in Odessa, Florida, caring for pets of all backgrounds. As a Maine Coon owner, I understand the importance of creating a safe, loving environment. My military experience has instilled a strong sense of responsibility, attention to detail, and reliability. Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, or special care, I'll treat them like family while giving you peace of mind. **I am unable to offer boarding in my own home and I am unable to stay overnight at the moment** Pet care is a natural fit for my lifestyle and one of my passions! I’m currently doing a remote internship while serving Active Duty, with plans to transition into the Reserves in May. This flexibility allows me to dedicate quality time to caring for pets, whether it’s dropping in for visits, ensuring they’re well-fed and loved, or providing companionship while their humans are away. I’m also planning to start my own pet-sitting company, so every opportunity to care for your furry family members is not only a joy but also part of building my dream! Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets in your home. I take the time to understand your pet’s unique needs and routines to ensure they feel secure and comfortable while you’re away. I’m diligent about following your instructions, whether it’s feeding schedules, administering medications, or playtime preferences. I also ensure your home is treated with the utmost respect—leaving it clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. I believe in open communication, so I’ll provide regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in loving hands.

About: I’ve always had dogs growing up, and while my parents are away I go over and house sit and take care of their dogs. I also watch my neighbors dogs while they are on vacation. I’m currently working part-time and will be finishing up my college semester. During summer I will have a lot of free time during mid-day to check in on your babies! My dogs are like household members so I treat them with respect and give them lots of love. I take them out, and take them for walks when needed and they love to go for drives (especially when it ends with pupcups.)

About: One thing that sets me apart is my firsthand experience caring for a reactive dog of my own. That experience taught me how important patience, consistency, body language awareness, and calm handling are when working with dogs who may be anxious, overstimulated, fearful, or slow to trust new people. Because of that, I’m very mindful of creating a safe, low-stress environment where pets can feel comfortable at their own pace. I’m experienced with maintaining routines, managing different energy levels, and recognizing behavioral cues before situations become stressful. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, high-energy breeds, and pets who need extra patience or structure. I also know how important communication is to pet parents, so I provide reliable updates, photos, and detailed check-ins for peace of mind while you’re away. Because I run my own special education advocacy business, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable and attentive pet care throughout the week. My work gives me the ability to accommodate a variety of schedules, including daytime visits, overnight stays, weekends, and many holiday needs. I’m able to plan my schedule carefully so pets receive consistent care, attention, exercise, and companionship rather than rushed drop-ins. Flexibility also means I can better adapt to pets with specific routines, medication schedules, anxiety needs, or extra potty breaks. I care for pets by focusing on keeping their routine as normal, comfortable, and stress-free as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, bathroom breaks, fresh water, meals on schedule, and affection based on their individual personality and needs. I understand that many pets feel safest in their familiar environment, so I try to maintain the routines they’re used to while also keeping the home clean, secure, and well cared for. I pay close attention to behavior, body language, and energy levels so I can adapt care appropriately, whether a pet needs active play, mental stimulation, quiet companionship, or extra patience. My experience owning a reactive dog has made me especially mindful about creating calm interactions and respecting each animal’s comfort level and boundaries.

About: I grew up in a family that had always had pets. All kinds of pets with the exception of those pets that slither. Dogs, cats, birds, and even a duck at one point. I've always pictured my life with a four legged family member. Or 4. However, my husband has a serious allergy to cats and our busy life with our high school son, having a full-time dog of our own doesn't seem like the right thing to do. It would spend too much time alone and no pet deserves that. With that being said, I miss being able to come home to the but wiggles and happy smiles. The excited dancing that just simply cannot be contained. The couch cuddles and the night time warmth. The unconditional love and kisses and quite frankly, the simple unwavering companionship. So, I thought that with the abundance of love and affection that I have to give along with our spacious backyard and the time I can offer on weekends, I can provide myself an outlet for that as well as give the care and attention to your furry loved ones. They will be cared for as though they are my own because while they are in my home, they will be. They will be allowed to cuddle and relax on the couch and be allowed anywhere I am in the downstairs area as long as they are clean and house broken. I work full-time outside the home during the week so I can only offer weekends at this time. So if you are taking a weekend trip away if have a very busy weekend planned and don't want to spend the exorbitant amount of money for what I basically call a pet hostile, then my home is the place for your dog. Since our life is busy during the week, I like for my weekends to be much slower and let home, if I can help it. Your fury loved one will not be left lone to find for themselves. If I must leave, it won't be for long periods of time.

About: I have 15+ years of experience caring for cats and dogs of all breeds and personalities. As a former AKC conformation and lure coursing competitor, I’m confident handling everything from playful puppies to shy or reactive pets. I share my home with four cats, including rescues, so I understand animals with unique needs. I offer calm, patient, and reliable care—no breed or size restrictions, just a focus on safety, trust, and comfort. Most pets, if asked, would prefer to stay home rather than go to a boarding kennel while you are gone. They are in their own home, eating their familiar food from their regular bowl, playing in their own yard, sleeping on their favorite bed or couch. My goal as a pet sitter is to keep your pet healthy, happy, and safe so you can enjoy your time away from home. I visit your home at least twice a day, feeding, checking water bowls, petting and loving, supervising exercise and play time, and handing out treats. I am especially good with senior dogs and have experience getting even difficult dogs to take medications. I also do things like collect mail or newspapers and turn lights on and off so that it looks like someone is around. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I currently work part-time and attend classes two nights a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility for daytime visits, walks, and overnight care. I plan my schedule around each pet’s needs, making sure they get consistent attention, exercise, and affection. Caring for animals is one of the best parts of my week—it’s grounding, rewarding, and something I truly enjoy. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and relaxed by maintaining their normal routines. In your home, I follow your feeding, walking, and playtime schedules closely and keep things calm for shy or anxious pets. In my home, animals have a quiet, supervised space, enrichment toys, and plenty of affection. Whether it’s medication, training, or extra snuggles, I tailor care to each pet’s personality and needs.
