Dog Sitting in Florence

About: As a kid I was taught responsibility by caring for our horses, cats, dogs, birds, fish and guinea pigs. I’ve had pets all my life! My mom’s cat almost died of a bacterial infection in her mouth and I’ve helped administer antibiotics to her until she got better. I had a cat who had kidney disease and needed to have IV fluids every week. My other cat had to be mouth fed with a syringe as well as monitored via thermometer up his butt. I have house and pet sit for friends and family that have multiple pets, most recently for a friend that had 6 dogs of all sizes! I am an active individual so walking will be a treat for them and me! :) I have given dogs and cats baths and also cared for dogs in heat. I have a very open and wide range of availability and I am available most days, including weekends and holidays as I rarely ever go out of town. It would be great to develop some long term relationships with new pets and their owners! Repeats are always great but not expected. I will do what I can to work with your schedule and the needs of you and your fur child. I will do my best to maintain consistency and high-level care when it comes to your pet. Each pet is different and I try to get to know each one individually in order to gain their trust and yours and provide the best care possible. Often times, I will send pictures to the pet owner, especially if it is a new client or a pet owner is out of town for an extended amount of time. I am easily reachable and try to communicate clearly about wants, needs, and scheduling. I prefer to do a meet and greet prior to providing a service, but it is not mandatory, especially for last minute bookings! We have a small yard in front and neighbors that will walk their dogs but they are all on leashes and well behaved. We live in a newer and safe community and I often take my dog for a walk around the neighborhood. There is a small park down the street which is nice too. We also have a fenced in backyard which can be seen from the inside of the house or the porch. We live in a one story house, but there are steps from the porch to the yard outback. My husband lives with me and has also grown up with cats and dogs. We currently have one male cat Santiago who gets along great with our male Chihuahua Juan Pablo and also got along great with my former senior Maine coon cat. He is a bit weary of strangers at first, but he will just hide until he gets to know you a bit and then you won’t be able to get him off of your lap. We have a gate in between the kitchen and the rest of the house so that the Chihuahua can have free rain to walk around and not have to be in his cage when we are not home. In the event that we have another animal in the house we can keep the Chihuahua in his cage. We also have two bedrooms and two baths that can be used to separate animals.The Chihuahua is very friendly and gets along great with the cat. He is also a bit skittish at first with strangers but once he gets to know you all he wants to do is give you kisses. He is very non-aggressive and barely ever barks. He is also very friendly. I feed my cat both wet and dry food twice a day in his food dish and he has water out constantly. I feed the dog twice a day, sometimes dry food, and sometimes refrigerated dog food. I let the dog out several times a day and we go for a daily walk as well. I clean the kitty litter box once a day. I snuggle and cuddle with both of them as much as possible, and play fetch with the dog at various points throughout the day.

“Tamaria kindly checked in on my cat when I needed someone very last minute over the holidays. She is extremely fast to respond and sends regular updates, including plenty of pictures. My cat is very shy around new people but warmed up quickly to Tamaria with a few treats of encouragement! I recommend Tamaria and will certainly reach out to her in the future.”

About: I've had pets for about 7 years - raised two Huskies from puppies, and after moving out on my own I started taking care of cats. I currently have three cats at home. Friends and family have counted on me to feed, walk, and look after their pets when they're away. I'm comfortable handling both small and large dogs, and I know bigger breeds like Huskies need a lot more exercise and stimulation than most. With cats, I deal with them every single day, so I know when they're just being moody and when something's actually wrong. My schedule is very flexible - I'm taking online classes this summer, but they're all self-paced with no set class times, so I can work around any pet care needs throughout the day. I'm available on weekdays and weekends, and I can easily adjust to fit your pet's routine! For drop-in visits and dog walking, I always make sure to follow the owner's instructions and keep the pet's normal routine as close as possible. I double-check doors, gates, and leashes before anything else - especially with bigger dogs. I grew up with two Huskies, so I know how important it is to keep large, energetic dogs secure and properly managed. I'll send updates and photos during every visit so you always know how your pet is doing!

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and routine. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to older, more relaxed pets, as well as multi-pet households. I specialize in in-home care so your pets can stay comfortable in their own space while you’re away. I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible, whether that’s walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship. I’m naturally very attentive and patient, especially with shy or anxious animals, and I take the time to build trust so they feel safe with me. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are doing well. I also have experience caring for kittens, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, ferrets, chickens, and ducks so I’m very comfortable with homes that have a mix of animals. Above all, I treat every pet like they’re my own and genuinely care about their happiness and well-being. I have a very flexible schedule right now, which allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and consistency throughout the day. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and overnight house sitting, and I can adjust to your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I do my best to be dependable and on time for every visit. I primarily provide care in my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I always prioritize safety, routine, and making sure your pet feels calm and secure while you’re away. I follow all instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medications, or specific preferences your pet has. I’m very attentive to behavior and will let you know right away if anything seems off. I’m also clean, respectful of your space, and will treat your home with care. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and safe.

“Chelsey was awesome checking in on Murph while I was out of town. She sent pics and descriptions of each visit which was very reassuring to me because it was my first time not boarding him. Murphy loves her and I felt very comfortable having him in her care. I will definitely be using her again!!”

“Kalli was awesome! She took excellent care of our pets and gave us regular updates so we didn't have to worry. I would highly recommend her and I'm sure we will be using her again.”

About: I have worked with all kinds of pets over the years! I can administer medicine. I’m able to work with more aggressive breeds. I can even take your pup to our amazing dog park and ensure they have a great time. I work mornings, so after 1pm, I have unlimited free time to work with your schedule. However, I’m off on mondays and Wednesdays from my morning job- so I’m available all day on those days. :) I allow doggies on our furniture. I have space for crates if your dog likes to sleep in a crate at night. There’s no other dogs in my home, so they will receive full attention from me.

“Thank you. Marina was awesome and our fur kiddos were taken well care of. We got pics daily We appreciate you!!!”

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, birds, turtles, fish, goats, cows, etc since I was very young. Some I owned, and others were owned by other people. I love all animals and am great at socialization and calming wild pups down. We adopted 3 kittens and a husky (02/25). The kittens are being raised as husky pups as the husky has decided she is mom. They act like dogs and all get along with everyone. Even pets that are aggressive to cats get along with our kittens. Same as far as our husky. They are unique and why we decided to keep them (started off as boardings and owners asked us to keep them). I work 10 minutes from my house. I can go home to check on your pet during work hours (1 hour lunch break). I am a dental assistant and BLS certified. Once I am home, I am home. I have a large gated yard as well. Weekends: I am home outside of errands and have little helpers. I have a large fenced yard and a three bedroom home. In cooler months we leave the back door open (fence is locked). I don’t like to kennel dogs if I don’t have to.

About: I’ve always had a soft spot for animals of all kinds and am ready to give them the love and care they need! I’ve taken care of hamsters all the way to large dogs. Each pet is unique and deserves proper care suited to them. I currently work full time, but am happy to plan and schedule time for your animal(s) on my off days. Ready to help with all of your pet needs! I have 3 cats and a dog in my home, but all are friendly! My yard is fenced and I have a crate on hand if needed (depending on the animals size).

“Great with my dog!”

About: I love animals since I could remember. I would love to have a farm some day. I got my first dog when I was 8z I learned to give a bath, brush, potty trained, and taught few tricks. I am currently working as a teacher for special needs and deaf. I am hoping to be a teacher someday and I’m working on getting my certification. I have three fur babies: 2 dogs and 1 cat. I used to own a tortoise but I gave it to a science teacher who is teaching next to my classroom. I have a crate, 2 dog parks at my apartment.

About: As a child I've always wanted a dog. That didn't come true until my early twenties. I raised two healthy labradoodles. They lived a good long life boating, swimming, long hikes, and losing several hundred tennis balls. Currently, I have a 5yr old Shih Tzu Bichon mix. His name is Ollie and he's 5yrs old. He's super chill and relaxed. Our family recently adopted a rescue. He's name is Edward. He's 6yrs old but still acts like a puppy, he's a toy Poodle. We're a fun and loving bunch. Always up for fun activities - ball time, hiking several trails in the hood, or along and often times end up in the San Gabriel River near my home. I would love to care for your pups while your away. I'm currently unemployed and open to care for your family members daily, weekly, or monthly. Super accommodating! There are 2 adults in the home and two little pups. I have a comfortable 3 bedroom home with a fence backyard. I live near San Gabriel River boarding Georgetown and Leander. There are several walking wooded paths. I live in a safe neighborhood.

About: I was raised with 6 dogs and 5 cats. I have been house and pet sitting for many years. I am very good with animals! I am a college student home for the summer and am currently only taking online classes so my hours and schedule is very flexible to what you need I have a fenced front and back yard with a pool! I have four dogs and a cat at home that live in the main house. Animals brought here will stay in a separate part of the property with me.

About: Have had pets since I was a child. Always dogs, sometimes cats, reptiles, rodents, or fish... often combinations of more than one of the above I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to give your pets as much attention as they want. Can also take entire days of from work to focus on pets as needed. I have a fenced yard in a quiet neighborhood with a laid-back pug and an aloof cat who likes to hide in the bedroom (she has a lock that lets her in while keeping dogs out) when strangers are about.

About: I’ve been fostering animals and volunteering at shelters since I was a kid, so I’m really comfortable around animals and enjoy being with them. I have fostered pregnant cats, kittens who required medical care, and dog sat for friends and family, too. People always describe me as gentle and caring with animals! I’m a college student with a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m available most afternoons after 4 PM and on weekends, so I’m a great option for evening walks, drop-ins, or weekend care. I primarily care for pets in my clients’ homes, where they feel most comfortable and can stay in their normal routine. For dogs, I provide walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention based on their energy level and needs. For cats, I handle feeding, litter box cleaning, and give them as much interaction (or space) as they prefer. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely to keep things consistent for your pet. I make sure they get plenty of care, attention, and a calm, safe environment while you’re away.
