House Sitting in Fort Ogden

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals since I was 11 I’ve had my own personal dogs for 5 years now and then I used to work at a dog grooming shop as a groomer and still am on the side! But I’ve recently became a stay at home mom for a sweet 4 month old boy! I’ve also worked at dog daycare center as well. I also am a cat mom to and almost 15 year old kitty! She is my soul kitty and I love her dearly! I recently became a stay at home mom and I’m wanting to make a little extra money to help my husband out! My schedule is pretty flexible and taking care of animals comes easy to me! I personally leave my dogs out day and night. They typically sleep with my husband and I in bed and are the worst bed hogs😂. We take them on evening walks a few times a week and also like to take them on car rides to my parents house! But I’m open to care for my clients animals any type of way they prefer!

“Debra was perfect! Our boys loved being at home & she stayed with them. We loved the photos everyday and the updates she would send. We would have Debra stay again & again!”

About: Animals aren’t just pets to me. They are individuals with emotions, personalities, and needs that deserve to be understood and respected. You can feel completely at ease knowing their happiness, comfort, and safety are always my top priority. As an animal rights advocate, I approach every animal with genuine compassion and awareness, tailoring my care to who they are, not just what they need on paper. Whether they are energetic, shy, playful, or sensitive, I meet them where they are and give them the attention and love that helps them feel truly safe and seen. You can trust that I will show up consistently, follow routines closely, and create a calm, caring environment while you are away. I do not just watch animals. I connect with them, care for them, and treat them like they matter, because they do. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I structure my schedule to allow consistent time for walks, feeding, check-ins, and companionship. I generally maintain a flexible routine, which allows me to adjust based on each pet’s needs and the specific care plan we agree on. I’m intentional about not overbooking so I can stay attentive and responsive while pets are in my care. My availability can vary slightly week to week, but I prioritize clear communication and planning in advance to ensure expectations are aligned and your pet’s routine is supported as closely as possible. I aim to create a calm, safe, and comfortable environment based on each pet’s routine and personality. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I follow your instructions closely while staying attentive to how your pet is feeling. In your home, I keep things consistent with their normal schedule so they feel secure. In my home, I maintain a clean, low-stress space with close supervision and attention to safety and care. I stay mindful during walks and interactions and avoid anything that could feel overwhelming or risky. I also provide regular updates with photos and check in if anything seems off so we can decide what’s best together. I do not have pets of my own, but there are pets in the home belonging to my roommates. They are well-managed, and I take care to ensure safe, controlled interactions. I can also keep pets fully separated at all times if preferred

“You couldn't ask for a better sitter. This was the 1st time we used rover and our dog had never had a sitter. Shawn used his charm and probably patience to win Bernadette over. He also left our house spotless. An all round gentleman. Would hire him again in a nanotechnology second”

“Allison was able to extend her care for my dog when my return flight was delayed. She came in clutch in an emergency. She is conscientious, caring and kind. She adjusted to the routine my elderly dog was used to so things stayed consistent for him. It helped out a lot and he was clearly happy and well cared for.”

About: I have always had large dogs around me all my life. As soon as I turned 18 I found my first shelter dog - a Husky! I fell in love with the breed and homed and loved 5 huskies since. I watch my neighbors Australian Shepherds' and Samoyed for years when they go out of town at my home with my own dogs. My pet care experience comes with just a true love dogs and having them around all my life. I work for the school system so my hours are fair to help with your needs. I'm also available for weekends and most holidays. I will also have more time in the summer to play with your fur babies. I can accommodate much of your needs for you dog(s). Whether at my home with a large fenced in yard plus my 10 year old husky looking for playmates or in the comfort of your fur babies own home.

About: I've grown up my whole life with many, many farm animals including dogs and cats. I always loved the pets the most and I can't wait to meet your's! My current occupation is as a Flight Instructor, so I have a very flexible schedule (since I make my own schedules). I am normally available anytime of the week since I have the flexibility to move things around my schedule. Have you ever met a pilot that's not oriented around safety? Well guess what, I can guarantee that your pet will be left in safe, loving arms.

About: I have taken care of animals, big & small since I was a little girl. I have always been the first contact for friends and family that need someone to care for their animals while they’re away! I am available anytime - I am an early riser and late time caregiver. I understand schedules can be rough & I want to give peace of mind! My rescue dog is animal aggressive, so my baby cannot be around others. I would have to come to your home…Dog walking, playing in the yard, feeding, all the attention & snuggles are included!

“Katie was absolutely incredible and I truly cannot recommend her enough!! From the very start, I could tell Luigi felt comfortable with her which says EVERYTHING!! The moment she got out of her car to greet us, he immediately took to her and that is not something he does with everyone. She provided so many updates and pictures which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. I never once had to wonder how he was doing. One of the biggest things that stood out to me was her honesty. Instead of just saying everything was perfect (which other sitters have said while I knew he wasn’t perfectly fine), she shared that Luigi definitely missed us. I appreciated that more than anything because it showed how in tune she was with him. Even better, she didn’t just leave it at that. She actively worked to engage him and get him moving which is so important for a dog’s mental well being. She took him on walks, paid close attention to his needs, and truly treated him like her own. You can tell Katie genuinely cares and goes above and beyond. Luigi and I are both so grateful to have found her!!!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was 10. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets, including senior dogs and puppies. I provide personalized attention to every dog, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and happy! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I ensure dogs get plenty of exercise, attention, and care through scheduled walks, feeding, and playtime. I’m flexible with morning, afternoon, and evening visits to accommodate each pet’s needs. I prioritize safety by following pet parents’ instructions, maintaining a secure environment, and ensuring dogs are always supervised. Whether in my home or theirs, I provide a clean, stress-free, and loving space where pets feel comfortable and cared for.

“Our 12 and 19 year old boys never even noticed we were gone! Eni stayed with them in our home while we were away. She was in touch with us about walk, poop, meal and medications in addition to the pictures she sent. We recommend Eni and hope to use her service again.”

“She was great!! Perfectly communicative and sent us lots of updates on our baby! She is super passionate about animals and growing her business! I’m happy to support Haylie’s business !!”

About: I've taken care of bunnies, parrots, chickens, dogs, cats, and turtles. I will always make sure that your pet is well cared for and loved. I’m currently not working so I’ll have plenty of free time to watch your pets, play with them, walk them, and feed them. They will be well cared for. I have a small part of my yard fenced but there’s plenty of space for your pets to run around. I have a 4 chickens that roam around but I will lock them up if needed and I have a small senior dog.

“On time and very professional. My dogs loved them ( they told me so) . Highly recommend and I would use Olivia's services again.”

About: I have two dogs of my own, Francesco, my sweet 11 yr old, and Zhukey, my energetic four yr old, and they’ve taught me everything about what dogs really need at every stage of life. I have an especially tender place in my heart for older dogs, the slower walks, the extra cuddles, the little quirks that make them so special. Every pet I care for gets the same love I give my own. 🐶​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ I am happy to work with most routines and arrangements. Whether you need something regular or just occasional help, I’ll do my best to make it work for you and your furry family. I come to you, which I think is the sweetest gift you can give your pet while you’re away. They get to stay right where they feel most at home, in their own space, on their own walks, with all their favorite things around them. I’ll follow their routines with love and care, and treat your home with the utmost respect. You’ll be able to relax knowing your baby is cozy, loved and right where they belong.

About: I spend my free time volunteering at a local dog rescue. I am a born & raised Midwesterner who is a true "Dog Mom." I am a retired teacher who has lived in SW Florida for five years now. I have embraced the Florida lifestyle even taking my dog out in a "doggy stroller!" I have been trusted to watch and care for friends' dogs and cats for days at a time or even weeks while they've gone on vacation. I love their pets like my own. I am picky about who watches my own dog, so I would like any pet owner to know that their little furball is in good hands while they're away. I am currently available during the day and in the early evening. I am also available on weekends. I'm willing to discuss any specific time needs with pet owners as well. I am a self-described "early bird" which allows me to walk dogs when the weather is cooler. My dogs have always had full run of the house except when I'm away and then they are put into a crate (mostly for their own protection so they're not eating or chewing on items they shouldn't!) or trying to jump on or off furniture. My dogs have always been treated extremely well. When I wake up early in the morning, my dog goes out first thing, gets a treat, then gets fed breakfast. We usually do a small walk. I take into account the age and wellness of the dog. I had an elderly dog who used to walk two miles every day, but then he slowed down a lot, so I adjusted his walk distances. I also adjust to the Florida heat! No walks during the hottest hours! I like to get out early and walk. Speaking of walking or playing - my favorite motto is: A tired dog is a happy dog!

“Carol was wonderful. My Lilboy decided the day before my trip to hurt his back leg . She kept a watchful eye on him and kept him quiet. My pups really liked her. She sent pictures and updates.”
