House Sitting in Fort Lonesome

About: I have extensive experience caring for pets and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I have taken care of multiple pets for friends, neighbors, and family members, including feeding, walking, playing, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I am attentive to each pet’s needs and make sure they receive the care, patience, and attention they deserve. In addition to pet care, I previously worked in childcare with RCMA, where I learned strong responsibility, supervision, and safety skills. My background in customer service has also helped me develop great communication and reliability when working with families. I am dependable, patient, and passionate about providing loving care for pets so owners can feel confident their animals are in good hands. I’m currently doing online school so I would plan my schedule to allow time for feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins so pets receive consistent attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. I’m organized and dependable, which helps me maintain a routine that keeps pets happy, active, and safe. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow feeding schedules, provide walks and playtime, and make sure pets have plenty of attention and supervision. I always keep the environment clean, safe, and comfortable while respecting the owner’s home and instructions. I also make sure doors, gates, and outdoor areas are secure so pets stay safe at all times. My goal is to create a calm, trustworthy environment where pets feel relaxed and owners feel confident their pets are in good hands. 🐶🐱

“Cathy did a great job of watching Ollie for me while I was away at work. She made sure to keep me updated throughout the day with pictures. She also made sure to give him lots of walks and lots of cuddles and kept him happy. She is quick to respond as well which is awesome. I would definitely recommend her for your pup :)”

“Sandy was fantastic with my Bear! He was comfortable and well taken care of while I was away. My place was also well taken care of. I will gladly trust Sandy with Bear again in the future! Clear communication, cute consistent updates, and real peace of mind!”

“Cira was excellent with my Persian cat Princess. She showed up on time and sent pictures and videos. Princess is not a friendly cat but she came out of hiding for Cira so that says a lot. Highly recommend Cira”

About: I’ve raised Pugs to Jack Russell’s to Samoyeds. I’ve cared for many dogs from rescues to seniors. My sweet pug Ana was in a wheelchair for the last few years of her life. I’m currently retired and available to assist pet owners in the Sun City area with pet sitting and walking needs. I have a Jack Russell that is full of energy that loves to play with others and go on walks. My dog is an indoor/outdoor dog that loves hanging out on the lanai, playing ball and long walks. He gets along great with dogs and cats alike.

About: Hi! I’m Madison, and I’ve always had a love for animals. I’ve cared for pets of all kinds, including dogs, cats, fish, frogs, and other small pets, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets, so I make it my goal to give them the same love, attention, and care that I would give my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 🐾💕 One of the best parts about pet sitting is that I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! My schedule is very flexible, so I’m available most days, including mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays. Whether you’re planning a trip, need a last-minute sitter, or just want someone to check in on your pet, I’d be happy to help. I love spending time with animals and look forward to giving your pets lots of love, attention, and care!💓🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions. I make sure pets have plenty of attention, love, and supervision while in my care. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

“We are extremely grateful for the work done by Francesca. She took care of our dogs for several days "overnight" in our home. One of our dogs just had rsurgery and Francesca was able to provide him with the necessary care to help him during the recovery process. Our second dog is the house protector, he takes more time to trust and approach strangers, however Francesca was able to achieve that and much more in a day. She is punctual, polite, sensitive, responsible, reliable, trustworthy and diligent. We highly recommend her to take care of your precious 🐾 babies.”

“This was our first experience with Rover and Kiana for an overnight (13 nights!), and we were really pleased. We will definitely entrust our girls and home to Kiana in the future. She took good care of both, and we were happy to receive daily updates from her.”

“Dana is the dearest sitter! This is her second homestay with our Louie and we just appreciate her so much. She treats Louie like her own and he just loves being with her. Dana is a very considerate house guest, too. We just love Dana and hope she will sit for us again!”

“Kaity & Sebastian are wonderful people. I always knew what was going on & they never left me wondering. Such peace of mind knowing our fur baby is being loved 🥰 & cared for like we do. I highly recommend them. The house was also left neat & clean, like I left it. I’m grateful 🙏🏻”

“Kelli was great. Highly recommend. She updated us with pictures throughout the stay. We were very comfortable knowing she was here staying with our dogs and they seemed to have a good time as well. The house was spotless when we got back as well. We look forward to booking with her again!”

Sam L.

“Haley has been so caring and wonderful with our sweet dog. She is patient and flexible!”

Sylvie B.

“Karley has been nothing but professional and sends us lots of videos and pictures of our baby. She always keeps us informed about her activity throughout the days we are gone.”

Ivone H.

“We highly recommend Krista! From our initial meet and greet with Krista and her dog Carmen I knew our dogs would be in great hands. Our dogs had a blast staying with them for the weekend. She is extremely communicative and trustworthy! We will definitely be using Krista again!”

Megan K.

“Thanks Tonya for the care and love you showed our boy Tanner. We very much appreciate you sitting with him and keeping him company! For those in need of a home sitter for their pet we do recommend Tonya. She communicates with you regularly on your pet’s activity and status so you are not wondering about them while you’re away. She’s a definite rebook for us in the future!”

Todd J. P.

“Lyndsay was super communicative with me from start to finish. My flight got delayed and offered to stay a few extra hours past what we agreed upon. She sent me pics of my babies throughout the day and the entire weekend. I highly recommend her and trust her with my pups!”

Adrian C.

“Macie was fantastic with Scooby Doo. She showed up on time. Sent me updates and made me feel so comfortable leaving my baby with somebody who is so loving to dogs and pets in general. I’m so grateful for her. She is doing it again and I will continue to use her as long as she’s doing this. I recommend her highly.”

About: I’ve taken care of my dog of 6 years since we got him as a puppy. I trained him to potty, do tricks, and play. I walk him 2-3 times a day and take him to the dog park, dog beach, and other dog social settings. I’ve also taken care of other dogs for multiple days. I work part-time during the weekends so my availability is during the weekdays! I am also a full time college student studying Biomedical Sciences but I’m fully online during the summer. I’m very playful with pets but I always make sure to put their safety first. I also always follow special instructions for each unique pet!

About: My current rental isn’t pet-friendly, so I don’t have a fur baby of my own right now but honestly, animals have been a consistent part of my life and work! As a full-time traveling newborn care specialist (nanny), I’ve had the joy of caring for family pets while also looking after their little ones, or stepping in as the sole pet caregiver while families travel. It’s become a natural perk of my career! I love hiking, going for walks and jogs, playing fetch, and just enjoying the outdoors so active pups/high-energy breeds are very welcome. My schedule as an on-call nanny keeps me pretty flexible overall, and I’m happy to work around your needs. Im based in Tampa for the next month! I treat every home with respect: your rules are my rules! I’m a bit Type A myself, so I naturally keep things tidy and orderly. I stay alert and aware of my surroundings whether we’re inside or out, and I’m experienced with rescues and anxious dogs, so I know how to read body language and adjust my approach. At dog parks or on walks, I stay vigilant so your pet is always safe.

About: I’ve had a dog since I was 15. She’s now 11 years old and a healthy pup. I was a certified vet assistant a few years back but could not handle the emotional pain of watching dogs pass in the medical field. I still love dogs and cats and enjoy caring for them. I work full time overnight so I am able to spend daytime with your pet! Tuesday and Wednesday are my usual days off. I can typically spend 6-8 hours with your pet before I leave for work at 9:30pm. My pets are kept indoors and on our screened patio. They keep a strict routine and enjoy sunbathing on the patio. It’s a relatively new home so the screening is strong and has never been broken. We have two litter robots and my home is always in clean condition.
