Dog Sitting Florence

About: Hi! I’m Kiera, and I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years through neighbors, family friends, and personal experience. I started pet sitting and dog walking at 16 and have experience with drop-in visits, daily walks, overnight stays, medication administration, and caring for dogs with medical or special needs. I currently have a 1.5-year-old Standard Poodle, so I’m very familiar with high-energy, intelligent breeds that need both physical exercise and mental stimulation. I’m also definitely the “crazy dog mom” who worries about every little thing and doesn’t trust just anyone with my baby — so I truly understand how important it is to find someone you feel completely comfortable leaving your pet with. Because of that, I take communication, safety, and trust very seriously. I know pets are family, not “just dogs.” I bring patience, attentiveness, and compassion into pet care. I want pet parents to feel the same comfort and confidence that I would want for my own dog. I’m especially comfortable working with senior dogs or pets who may need extra patience and attention, as my two previous dogs had complex medical conditions that gave me extensive experience with medications, routines, and monitoring health concerns. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm and dependable presence, I’m happy to adapt to their needs and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. 🐶✨ I currently am looking to do this full time so have complete open availability. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because caring for others — whether children or animals — is something I genuinely love. My open schedule allows me to dedicate quality time, attention, walks, play, and companionship to the pets I care for rather than trying to rush through visits. When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, potty routines, walk schedules, medication instructions, and any household preferences closely because I know consistency is important for pets. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and supervision while their owners are away. I’m very communicative and understand how nerve-wracking it can be leaving your pet with someone else, so I like to provide updates and photos for peace of mind. I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own. 🐾

About: I have cared for animals most of my life, including dogs, cats, goats, rabbits and chickens. I love them all, but dogs are my favorite and I've been told I'm good with them. I have 2 dogs that I feed twice a day along with making sure they have fresh water. I also take them on walks for their health and enjoyment and I give them baths on a regular basis, along with occasional check-ups with the veterinarian. I have a large fenced yard in a safe neighborhood. I also have 2 crates at my house that guest dogs can use, one small and one large.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 13 years, and taking care of dogs has always been something I genuinely enjoy. I have a dog of my own who I absolutely love and treat like family, so I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust. Over the years, I’ve regularly cared for friends’ and family members’ dogs, including feeding, walking, playing with them, keeping them company, and making sure they feel comfortable and safe. I’m patient, attentive, and always make an effort to understand each dog’s personality and individual needs. When your dog is with me, they’ll receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and care. My goal is to make sure every dog feels happy, safe, and at home while you’re away. I have a pretty flexible schedule and can usually work around your pet’s routine and needs. I’m happy to help with walks, check-ins, feeding, playtime, or just keeping your pet company while you’re away. I know pets do best when they can stick to their normal routine, so I’ll do my best to keep things familiar and comfortable for them. I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m caring, patient, and attentive, and I’ll take the time to get to know your pet and what they’re comfortable with. I’ll follow your instructions and make sure they’re safe, happy, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away. I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own and keep you updated so you know how they’re doing.

About: Raised around animals of all shapes and sizes from a young age, caring for pets is second nature to me. I’ve owned and loved both cats and dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments my entire life—from energetic puppies and curious kittens to sweet, gentle seniors. This lifelong experience means I understand their unique body language, daily routines, and individual needs, ensuring your pets feel completely safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Working a hybrid schedule, I am only in the office for a couple of hours four days a week. During these short trips away, your pet remains safe and secure inside my home—either comfortably resting in a crate or roaming freely, depending on your preferences and training needs. The rest of my time is fully spent working from home, allowing me to stick to consistent feeding, play, and potty routines while giving your dog plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether in my home or yours, pet care is centered on keeping your dog safe, comfortable, and happy. I have a fully fenced-in backyard that provides a secure space for outdoor play, alongside access to tons of great local walking trails for daily exercise. At home, I have the sweetest 4-year-old pup who is always excited to make new friends and keep your pup entertained throughout their stay!

“Courtney did an amazing job caring for both of our dogs—a 14-year-old senior and a 3-year-old. They were patient and gentle with our older dog while still giving our younger dog the attention, exercise, and energy she needed. It was such a relief knowing both of our dogs were in caring, trustworthy hands. We came home to two happy pups, and that means everything to us!”

“Tristan was awesome! We have a 16 year old large dog Gigi who can be skittish with new people and Tristan was patient and kind and won Gigi over. I highly recommend Tristan!”

I currently have a very open and flexible schedule which means plenty of free time to help care for your furry friends whenever you need! I always appreciate a written list of tasks you’d like for me to do to help your pet just to make sure I get it right!

“Lili took care of our 3 cats while we went away for our honeymoon. She came 2 times a day to care for them. We couldnt have picked a better sitter! She went above and beyond and we didnt have to worry about our kitties while we were away. She was so responsive and went out of her way to get photos of all 3 cats. Even when they hid under the bed! Thank you Lili for everything!”

“Jillian was absolutely amazing. The meet and greet was so thorough that I just knew she would do a wonderful job at taking care of my fur-babies. I have senior fur-babies and she catered to their needs just the way I would as well as making sure the house was prepared for my return. Jillian is definitely my go to caregiver for my babies in the future.”

About: I have been in the veterinary field for 10+ years working for a non profit organization. I have been house and dog sitting for the past 10 years on the side for mostly the same clients. I send daily pictures and updates, and hardly leave the house when I'm sitting unless otherwise specified or asked. I want to keep you and your fur babies as comfortable as possible. I am able to administer any kind of medication needed such as oral, injectables, or even special ointments. I can help with any special needs, and am always aware of schedules for feedings and any special diets. Early morning walks or late night potty breaks are not a problem and I am available for whatever may come up. I work mostly from home with the occasional day or two in office which means I would be able to provide the most care and attention. During the week, M-F, I typically only provide sitting but may have an occasional drop in. I follow all rules and will never have guests over, unless otherwise specified, to ensure your pets are comfortable in their own home. I am very cautious with pets when going on walks.

“Angel was reliable and took good care of our pup while we were away. She took plenty of pictures which was nice and communicated with me when necessary. I would book with her again!”

“Gabrielle did an awesome job following instructions given to take care of my baby Jax and she made sure to send a picture of their time spent together. I am happy and satisfied with the service I received. 🤗”

About: I stand out because I combine professionalism with genuine love for pets. I have experience with both energetic puppies who need structure and patience, as well as senior dogs who require gentle care and attention to detail. My background gives me the skills to handle medication, follow routines, and keep pets safe, happy, and loved—just like family. I have a busy but consistent schedule with ROTC training in the early mornings and college classes during the day, which leaves me plenty of free time in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends to give your pets the care and attention they deserve. In your home, I can make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick closely to their usual routines for feeding, walks, and playtime, and I give plenty of attention and affection so they feel right at home. For puppies, I focus on structure, consistency, and positive reinforcement. For senior pets, I’m extra patient and mindful of their comfort, medications, and mobility needs. Whether it’s exercise, cuddles, or just quiet companionship, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique personality and needs.

About: 🦄 Austinite, working from home with a flexible schedule! I absolutely love animals. I've cared for cats, dogs, bunnies, lizards, guinea pigs, and more. I’m considered the go-to house sitter in my friend groups. In a lot of ways, I think animals are smarter than us, and I feel completely relaxed & present when spending time with them. And the feeling seems to be mutual! Especially when it comes to the more shy pets who usually keep their distance. I can naturally read their body language, and actually find it easier to bond with animals than with people. I recognize and respect the amount of trust it takes to leave your home and pets with a new person. I'm organized + tidy, and will care for your home and dote on your fur babies like they're my own. I love sharing cute photos and videos so you can have peace of mind and feel close to your pets, even while you’re away.

“Michael did a great job! My dog’s love him! When I’m away, Duke only eats for him. He gives them baths also. Sometimes I’m gone working 3-4 days a week. I know that they are in good hands. That’s always a relief for me. My 3 dogs are so happy to see him. He has been watching them for 4 years now!! Thank you!”

About: I have had animals my entire life and currently have 5 dogs, 5 cats and a horse. My full time job is on a farm taking care of horses so I have the ability to administer fist aid and medications and am comfortable with all sizes and shapes of animals. Also have experience with goats and pigs. I currently work part time and travel some for work so my schedule is flexible and easy to work around. I have the ability to work evenings and weekends when needed. I will make sure to follow all the instructions given to me to properly care for your pet. I have extreme attention to detail and am able to recognize if there might be a problem with an animal because my job has been to have an awareness about how an animal is acting for the past 10 years. I also have extensive experience with my own pets and different issues they have had through my life.
