Pet Sitting in Fanning Springs

About: Through out the years the different types of pets Ive helped raised and raised on my own have made me grow a love for pets beyond imaginable, I get along with all types of animals big or small don’t scare me! They are all just big babies. Ive had a few old babies aswell so I have experience with helping them out and taking it slow. It fits perfectly,I have 6 pets of my own three dogs three cats which very in age so I’ve had experience with all different types of babies. I enjoy walking my dogs and getting them out the house during the day, taking them for walks, going to dog parks or even just sitting out side in the yard letting them lay in the sun. With a clients baby, I’d treat them as my own making sure to pick up after the pets and then after a long walk or shot depending on the pet, I’d bring them inside and make sure they had cool water to drink a good bit of it I’d make sure the dogs is feeling okay afterwards and put them back in crate if told to do so or say my goodbyes and lock up

About: I grew up with a miniature dachshund, I helped raise two miniature Australian shepherds, and I volunteered at my formerly local animal shelter. I currently own two amazing cats, Rachel and Gwen. I love playing with your pet in a safe environment. I truly invest my heart into all the pets I meet; their health and well being is the first and foremost priority. I can provide a good walk, play time, or comforting cuddles to your baby while you’re away. I am more than willing to work to accommodate any special requests you may have for your pet's care. I understand the importance of your four-legged family member and want to show you and your pet the utmost respect and attention. I'm currently unemployed, giving me a flexible schedule to attend to your pet(s)! It brings me fulfillment and joy to spend time with your animal and keep them feeling your love while you're away. I am not currently offering pet sitting in my own home, but I believe building trust with your pet(s) by reinforcing the boundaries you have with them is key. This is more manageable when the pet is in its typical environment, as they are able to keep their routine and safe spaces.

“Miranda had so much experience handling my big boy, Law. She was proficient with the gentle lead and took him out for long walks! I can tell he enjoyed her being there. Will use her again the next time I take a trip !!!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was 16 starting with mastifs. I had mastifs until my twenties until I became a K9 handler in law enforcement. As a K9 handler i trained many dogs. After law enforcement, I started training and boarding dogs full time. My friends and family have always trusted me to keep thier loved ones when going on vacation. I currently train dogs full time from home. I work from Home and I’m home most of the time. I have pets and dogs in training almost daily. I have a fenced in yard with access to water, and possibly a swimming trough in the summer. I have and use FI gps collars. Especially with dogs that may seem to have more anxiety during separation

About: 10 years of Veterinary technician experience as well as a degree in veterinary tech from St Pete College. Dog training also available at the local club in Chiefland. Love all ages of dogs AND cats. I recently stepped away from my vet tech job of 10 years to care for my newborn. I have availability almost everyday and several times a day if needed. I have 5 dogs, 1 cat, and sheep that live at my house. I also breed, show, and participate in several sports with my Australian Cattle Dogs. I will not be able to care for client animals at my home due to all the animals. I will most likely bring my infant with me during care at your home but will be mindful in safety for your pet as well as my child.

About: I’ve grown up with pets all my life, ranging from house pets to farm animals. I’ve helped care for friends and family’s pets while they are away- feeding, bathing, walking, and playing with pets. I’m currently working on getting back into school so my schedule is open for pet care. I am available week days and weekends- open to your pet care needs. I am able to do drop in visits, all day care, or walking during the day. I’m willing to do visits and care until 8 PM on week days and weekends.

“Kaitlin H. Did a fantastic job with my cats. When my one cat who's not very friendly warmed up to her so quickly during the meet and greet, I knew they wolid be in good hands. And I was right. Kaitlin gave regular updates and daily pictures. She was comfortable giving medicine and had no problem cleaning the litter box, every cat owner's least favorite task. I felt comfortable with her, and so did my cats. I will definitely hire her again next time I'm out of town.”

I do have kids so If I can bring them with me then I can be available even more as well but that can be discussed. I am not offering in home boarding at this time but all of our animals are well taken care of and I will respect your wishes if you want your dog kept on a leash or in the yard etc.

About: THIS IS A WORKING FARM. PLEASE BE ON TIME OR ACCURATELY COMMUNICATE TRAVEL TIMES. PLEASE PROVIDE A FITTED HARNESS FOR YOUR LOVED ONE. I SEE TOO MANY LOOSE COLLARS SLIP OFF. WE HAVE AN OUTDOOR CAT KENNEL FOR ONE CLIENT AT A TIME ____________________________________ www. Radical-Roots .com If you viewed the website above, you'll see this is a sustainable agricultural homestead. We supply market boxes with fresh produce that we pick from local farms and artisanal vendors. Get your groceries when you pick up your dog! We are very busy. Please plan your trip and communicate appropriately. Failure to be on-time as communicated may result in an extra late fee of $25. This is because being ready early and having the gate open for someone that doesn't arrive as announced denies valuable free time to dogs under our care. If you select a range of time beyond 1 hour for pickup and drop off, such as "1pm-3pm or 6pm-9pm," this will also incur a $25 fee. Time is money and my time is valuable. To avoid these fees simply narrow your windows of arrival and be on time. Thank you. This is a 15 acre forest property with walking trails for your dogs to run on. All walks are conducted on-leash unless we know your pup recalls well. We are fenced but most fences are 4ft and escape is not impossible (we havent had one yet!) There are several dig-proof 10x10 covered kennels with dog igloo, but no animals are allowed outside during extreme weather. We have an air-conditioned house equipped with crates but we may ask that you provide one. Dogs are with a human most of the time. We don't go too far away for too long due to them being in the house and needing potty. No dogs mix with any other dogs unless we think it will be a good mix. We have enough dog crates, kennels, babygates, and garden pens to ensure that. Your tiny dog will never meet a larger dog face to face. Dogs are rotated all day between quiet/feed time, 2 main walk times per day, free run time if applicable, kennel time, and potty breaks. There's a lot of wildlife and plenty to sniff. We may jazz up kibble meals with homemade chicken stock, local meat scraps, farm scrambeled eggs, sardines etc when we make the big pack bowl. If your pet recalls off-leash and behaves perfectly you can qualify for a reduced rate after the first boarding, which may be $19/night if you qualify My schedule is entirely open at the moment and I am usually at home, or someone is. The dogs get rotated between crate feed time, walks, free run time in a gated area, kennel time outdoors and possible play time with my dogs. No dogs mix (mine or yours, or various clients dogs). Every booking dogs are kept in their own rotation so if its time for their walk and run, other dogs may be in quiet time inside having come in from their time. Interactions are tightly controlled and monitored, but welcome when everything is just right to make that happen. I stress test every dog on arrival. This means giving some crate time to evaluate how they will handle being alone if I am away; for their safety and to ensure no damages. I create safe spaces that they can lay down and have peace and quiet, but allow them to mingle and wander around if there's no concerns. At no time is any animal allowed to be free in such a manner they could leave the premises. I wont even off-leash in my gated area unless I know the dog well. Some dogs can jump high! Feeding is morning and evening. We do walks when it isn't too hot. They may be crated temporarily if left alone on the property, but have plenty time to lay on the futon and stretch out otherwise. I also use outdoor kennels for unsupervised fresh air time. Otherwise i let them run around me and the pen when I'm outside working.

“Monica was great. My pups were well taken care of. I would recommend her.”

About: I have been a vet tech for about 10 years now. I have experience working with dogs, cats, small birds and pocket pets. I am comfortable medicating and am really good with nervous pets. I can feed, walk and play with your dogs or snuggle with your cats and give them plenty of attention. I love senior pets and am happy to stay with them longer if needed. I treat your pets like they are my own and make sure they feel loved when you are away. I currently work full time as vet tech but my weekends and midweek are open if you need me all day. Otherwise I can stop by twice a day during the week to care for you babies. My goal is to care for your pets just like you would if you were home. It is so much less stressful for them to be in their home instead of boarding. I am very detail oriented and am happy to follow your instructions for care.

“Erica is thorough, sweet , caring and has great communication skills ! I had a worry free experience with her checking in on my dog and i will using her in the future. Awesome job !”

About: I am born and raised on a farm AND I currently live on a farm! In the house, my family and I have always had cats and dogs. I would be opened to also helping out if you have any farm animals. I am 24 years old and in college, studying to be a cardiovascular technologist. I’m looking to fill my time helping out with animals, since that is what I’m most comfortable with! I’m currently in school. Monday through Thursday, I am usually busy from 8 AM till about 3 PM. But if I have an early enough notice, I can figure something out. I love to play with animals! I will spam your phone with photos and I am super quick with responses. Your pets will be treated as my own!

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was 10. I’ve always felt a need to protect dogs from any harm, kind of like my second nature. I love being around dogs and making an impact on them whether its teaching them a new trick or just playing with them to make them happy. Can walk, feed, and bathe your pets! Im currently working a part time job, ready to take care of your pups whenever you need me. I am flexible as long as you give me a good heads up. I will take care of your pets as if they were my own with whatever instructions you give me. They will always be safe as I take a lot of precaution to make sure everything is set and good for them.

About: I have a lot of people on my behalf that would recommend me to sit your animals. I have the biggest heart for every animal! Dog sitting fits my schedule very well, with weekday availability after 5 PM for walks, feeding, and care, and flexible, devoted time throughout my weekends. I prefer to watch your animal at your home, ensuring comfort and familiarity for them, unless an emergency happens that requires alternate arrangements for their care.
