About: I have taken care of not only my dogs but I have also been relied on to take dogs out during the day, feed and walk them by friends and coworkers! I have been an animal lover from a young age and am open to take care of any animal! When your animal is in my care I will make sure that that animal is safe at all times, I am experienced with all types of leashes and harnesses and I will ensure that your pets safety is number one. I am currently working full time, but I am free after work and on the weekends, for me it is a priority to take care of an animal. I am free Monday - Friday 4pm - 7pm, Saturday and Sunday any time until 6pm. I am not currently offering in home and client home care. I am working on eventually being able to provide these services down the road.

About: I’ve walked and taken care of pets in my family, for friends and neighbors. They trust me and love the way I care for their animals as one of my own! 💕🐶 I am unavailable from 8am until 2:45pm Monday-Friday after that I am available for drop in/walks. I am available anytime after that. I do weekends as well just contact me to further discuss timing if interested. In my home I have a Jack Russel that stays and sleeps inside. He has a crate but we don’t usually use it because he’s well behaved.

About: If you’re looking for a pawsome pet sitter look no further. When you leave your fur baby in my care I will love them as if your pet were my own. I will make sure that your four legged friend is treated like royalty. Let me tell you a little bit about myself and my experience. I have lived in Jupiter and in the Palm Beach Gardens area for about 15 years now and have experience with my own dogs for about as long as I could remember, I have always been a lover of all animals and an advocate. For about 12 years now my close friends and family have entrusted me with the care of their fur babies. You can be sure I will take good care of yours.
“Tonya was gracious enough to walk our dog on a blocked day. This was the first time I used Rover and everything went so smooth. Tonya was a fantastic communicator and really was flexible with some of my last minute needs. I would highly recommend Tonya and will definitely reach out to her next time”
About: My mother had 15 different breeds of dogs from small to large and 10 cats and I was the one taking care of them and caring for them. I also have 2 cats that are very loving and sweet. I do work 3 days a week with my full time job but I am very flexible and would much rather watch them at your home where your animals are more comfortable I will take them to a dog park and as long as it’s at your home they are absolutely safe and they will feel more comfortable

About: Animal lover, pet-less at the moment, but with lots of animals in my life. I have plenty of love, patience, cuddles, and care to give to your furry family member, big or small. I know how important and stressful finding a reliable place or a trustworthy person is. For over 20 years now neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to take care of their beloved pets at their house or mine. I have a very welcoming home with couches to surf, plenty of laps to sit on, lots of treats(or not), walks and playtime. My backyard is enclosed and the community has lots of green areas, several parks, fun walks and a dog park just a car ride away. I don’t mind traveling. I have taken care of two potbelly pigs, two donkeys, a squirrel, and two cats up in Archer, FL. Five cats and an African Gray parrot in Orlando. Several cats and dogs at their homes and mine, and whenever I can, I escape to my friend’s farm to help with the care of their horses. My grand-dog, April, loves to visit and get spoiled! Give me the opportunity to show you how well and at home your baby will feel! I work part-time from home so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for boarding 7 days a week. I set up beds in the living room and in my office. I also do pottery, and I have my wheel in an enclosed patio with a rug right next to it for my special helpers! I do a walk in the morning and another one about an hour after breakfast followed by some playtime. Then I do bathroom breaks every two hours or as needed. After noon, I work on my pottery and do some gardening in my fenced backyard. Rest assured your pet will never be outside unsupervised. Late afternoon I take them for a longer walk, a bathroom break after dinner, and again before bed. I make sure your baby is active and well exercised, with plenty of time for play, rest, and cuddles! And of course, I will also follow any schedule or routine they may have. I have a pet friendly home with an enclosed patio and fenced backyard, but rest assured your pup will never be left outside unsupervised. Your pet is welcomed on our couches, our laps, and any part of the house they wish to be in. If I have to go out, and no one else is home, I will leave the TV on with relaxing music or pet friendly content playing. I don’t own a crate, but you’re welcome to bring one if your baby is used to staying or sleeping in one. They are welcome to sleep in any of our bedrooms. I usually don’t allow them on my bed but my daughter will be ever so happy to oblige! If I’m caring for your beloved at your home, I will follow any rules you have set up for them, even sleeping with them if necessary!

About: I have always grown up with pets and love everything about animals and believe need to be loved and cared for just like humans. I am a dog groomer so I am familiar with being around dogs all day, their behavior, their anatomy, and how to treat an injury if it were to occur. I also live by the 5 C’s, Communication,Compassion, Consistency, Commitment, and Credibility. So I think it’s super important to build bond with the animals and the parents and be truthful and transparent if something was to go wrong ! I work a part time job 3 days of the week, So my schedule is very flexible and open. I don’t do much of anything on my days off so being able to pet sit is the ideal plans ! I have a fenced yard and 4 pups of my own to keep your company if needed, I would also be able to separate on the other side of the house if you or the dog is not comfortable around others. If we were to be in your own home sticking to their routine and what they like to do is most comfortable for them and me !
About: I grew up with cats, but began to be around dogs in my 20s. I owned my own for 16 years along with my cat for 20. I have studied behavior analysis and used some of the techniques with my dog. I have been pet/house sitting for years. I’m currently working part time so I am available for walks/drop ins/overnights and even for longer stays. I like keeping busy and being around animals!

I can teach puppies basic tricks such as sit, stay, paw, and down. I can attempt the same with cats, I find tricks to be a slow process for cats but Rome wasn't built in a day. I'm also good at bathing animals that are not use to being in tubs. Yes, I can bathe a cat and not have scratches! I'm caring and I truly love animals. I love to cuddle animals with separation anxiety. Well to be honest I love to cuddle animals in general! I know how to crate/cage train if needed.

About: I've been caring for pets since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, groom, and bathe their pets. I’ve worked in a doggy daycare for 8 years and have extensive experience with grooming, pet sitting, and managing a variety of temperaments and breeds. I treat every animal as if they were my own and prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, calm companionship, or basic grooming, I'm here to help! I own my own dog grooming business, which means I spend my days surrounded by pups! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I have the flexibility to provide walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention throughout the day. Whether your dog needs midday care, companionship, or just some extra love, I’m here to help! For boarding in my home, I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and get fresh air. I also have a spare room set up just for pups, giving them a comfortable, quiet space to relax when they’re not enjoying playtime inside the house. I have experience handling multiple dogs at once and make sure every pup gets individual attention, enrichment, and care in a calm, structured environment. When walking dogs in a client’s neighborhood, I always use a double leash system one with the pet's own leash and another with mine to ensure extra safety and prevent any chances of slipping out. I'm also comfortable administering oral medications or topical treatments if needed. Your dog’s well being, comfort, and safety are always my top priorities.
