House Sitting Fort Lonesome

“Glen was an excellent dog/house sitter! He kept us updated with messages and photos. Our dogs were happy and well taken care of. We are definitely using him again!”

“Cira stayed at our house an extended period. We had a sick dog during visit and she ensured she was seen by our vet and took care of her meds. She took care of all 3 of our dogs and ensured they were well taken care of!”

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. 🐶🐱

“Sandra has a beautiful soul. She took such good care of my babies. She sent me pictures of them made into these lovely collages that I know took time and care to create. I rebooked her for my next trip already!”

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I’m always home so it will easily fit into my weekly routine. I enjoy all animals and look forward to taking care of yours j I will take care of your pet as if it’s my own! I have a nice yard for lots of fun playtime and lots of toys

“Kaity and Sebastian were great with my cat and dog last week! We had to go out of town at the last minute and they helped us out by staying at our house and watching our babies. They kept in touch, sending lots of pix the whole time. They followed all instructions and left our house clean and tidy :) will be booking again!”

“Cathy is great with the pups and this for this visit was a life saver for us. My husband was able to have her trouble shooting the power outlets in the garage to get the garage door opener working again and restore power to the refrigerator and freezer! Go greatly appreciated!!”

Laurie S.

“Jasmine was very responsive. Left the house clean and tidy. The pups were happy. We booked her again for the next weekend!”

About: Pets have always been an important part of my life. It’s easier for me to enjoy vacations knowing my furry friends are cared for by a sitter in their own home & I’m excited to offer you the same peace of mind. I have experience with cats, dogs, reptiles, & aquariums (additional fees apply—message me for rates if you have aquariums/reptiles you’d like me to check on while you are away. Also willing to water plants! I currently work 7:30am-5pm Monday through Friday. My work does not currently allow for mid-day checks, so care will occur before/after these hours. For weekends/holidays we can discuss your pets needs and I will plan my schedule to stop by at the needed times. Willing to stay overnight for house sitting. Care can be customized to your pet’s needs during an initial visit. For overnight stays, I will typically come by for a check-in/tend to needs & return to stay overnight and provide morning care.

“Dana was amazing! Our pup went on plenty of walks at all hours of the day, and looked extremely comfortable with Dana in charge. Communication was great, house was well taken care of, and most importantly our pup had a great time with her sitter. Overall great experience, would recommend”

Kristopher D.

“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.”

About: I've taken care of cats, dogs, and exotics for many years. Well versed in pet care for any breed and kind of animal. Big fan and friend of all pets alike. I am currently an online college student, so I have plenty of time to play and care for your furry family members, with extra love! I have a very friendly but shy chihuahua who would be separated from your furry friend in my home. I can uphold any rules you may follow in your own home for your pets as need be.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life which has allowed me to care for puppies to senior dogs on a daily basis with ease. I’m currently a full-time student in mostly online courses, which leaves plenty of time to play, walk, watch, and snuggle all of your pets with enthusiasm. I will treat your pets as if they were my own and provide plenty of love and care with lots of play time and potty breaks whether that be in a fenced yard or out on a walk.

“Amariani is WONDERFUL! On time and so kind to me and the dog. My dog can be a handful, but she is very patient and loving. Highly recommended!”

About: I have a dog of my own (toy poodle) and I’ve had a variety of dogs growing up. I’ve had an English bulldog, a Boston terrier, a Yorkiepoo, and a Rottweiler so I’m experienced with all types of dogs. I have been taking care of pets including kittens, cats, and dogs for the past 5 years. I’m currently working part time remotely as an attorney, so I’m usually home all day unless I have other prior commitments such as a piano lesson to teach. I make loads of time to play with my dog and my son, and take him for long walks and several potty breaks a day, so your pet will be getting the same care! I treat every animal who is in my care just as well as I treat my own baby, and I am very careful to follow clients’ instructions because I know how I would want my baby to be treated. I personally like the free roaming approach, because I am a guest in your pup’s home. But of course I will always respect the boundaries that you have set for them. If you let them on the furniture, they can come on up and cuddle with me! If you prefer them to be crated at night, I will respect your wishes. In the event that I do have to step out, know that I don’t like leaving my own dog home alone for more than 2-3 hours at a time so I take the same care with clients. Even if I have to go teach a piano lesson, I always make sure the dogs are fed and the dogs have gone for a potty break before I leave and I make sure I’m not gone too long!

“If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pets as if they were her own, Francesca is the person you want!!😁 I AM SERIOUS. SHE is the person you want for your fur babies!! I am 10000% sure YOUR PET WILL CHOOSE HER. Not only did we schedule Francesca a couple months in advance, we ended up having changes to our vacation and reservation. We notified Francesca in advance and she happily adapted to the new plans (this happened a couple times!) As someone who probably “over thinks” the care our pets receive (they’re our babies!!), Francesca went above and beyond.. Francesca recently stayed with our dog, Blu, and our cat, Milo, while we were away (we boarded our other two dogs to “try out” Rover), and we could not have asked for a better experience. From the moment we left, she provided multiple updates, photos, and messages throughout each day, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. It was clear that she was not simply checking in on our pets—she was genuinely engaged with them, attentive to their needs, and invested in their well-being. She allowed Blu to sleep with her (as we normally do) and cuddle her (our pets are very cuddly). This meant so much to us as we’d never expect for someone to give up their personal space, but she did! She followed our pets’ routines exactly as requested, ensuring consistency and comfort while we were gone. Beyond caring for our animals, she also treated our home with the utmost respect. She kept everything clean, did laundry, washed dishes, and left our home in wonderful condition. What truly stood out was her calmness and professionalism during an unexpected situation. One of our pets had an accident while we were away, and Francesca immediately called us, kept us informed, and handled everything with remarkable composure and compassion. During a stressful moment, she was exactly the kind of person you would want caring for your beloved pets. She noted when our dog didn’t finish his food or supplements, when he had gone potty, and even shared what she was doing/her personal plans. Francesca is caring, responsible, communicative, trustworthy, and incredibly compassionate toward animals. We never once worried about our pets because we knew they were in excellent hands. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter, and we will absolutely be using her again in the future.🐾”

“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!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life. I started volunteering at the Pet Resource Center in Tampa a few years back, and was lucky enough to get a job there. We not only provide them daily care, but get to have fun as well. Feeding, walking, enrichment and overall care. I have 2 days off that I’d be able to dedicate to pet care. I would be available in the evenings as well. I’m already providing pet care at my full time job, but am looking for additional activities. N/A as I would not be offering care or services in my home, I’d only be going to clients homes to provide services needed. Thank you

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.

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.
