Dog Sitting Fort Walton Beach

About: I have ample experience pet sitting for neighbors, family friends, and community members since I was in my early teens. I adore all animals, so I have no problems administering medication (I don’t have a weak stomach), cleaning litterboxes or crates, and will love and respect them like they are my own babies! Your peace of mind and their comfort are my top priorities. I am currently getting my Master’s degree in Social Work, so I’m looking for a nice side hustle I can devote time too while I’m not doing my fieldwork. Wednesdays and Fridays are the best days for me in terms of all-day availability, but I can certainly be flexible if needed! Though I will not be caring for pets in my own home (leasing rules), I am more than willing to respect and uphold your own personal routines for your pets. I do not have a problem crating or following whatever routines are necessary to keep them safe and happy!

About: I am a mature, flexible retired RN who loves all animals. I’ve taken care of cats, dogs and non-traditional pets. I have a penchant for setting the pets and the pet parents at ease! I’m happy to keep your pet(s) company so they are not lonely while you are away! I perform the usual services: take the dogs out, clean the kitty litter daily, feed & provide fresh water on their schedule, keep them safe and give them treats, if allowed. There’s time for snuggles, playtime & exercise. I will go above & beyond to meet your needs.for pet care. I have experience with senior & young pets. I can accommodate special diets, medications and special needs. I have experience with a blind senior dog and many rescue dogs and cats with emotional, as well as physical needs. I am attuned and equipped to handle medical problems that may arise and would contact you immediately in an emergency. I can perform first aid on mammals if needed. I am available for drop-in visits or overnight stays, depending on your preference. For drop-ins I can come M-F mornings, late afternoons and anytime on weekends. I’m happy to do a meet & greet before you leave to assure you are comfortable. I look forward to working with you and your awesome pets!! I am free most weekdays, weekends and holidays. My standing commitments are from 10am to 1pm M-F, so pet sitting can easily be scheduled around those hours successfully. I am very at ease with most pets and they usually like me right away. It’s a little different with cats & some dogs sometimes, who may have a wait & see stance. I am very patient in that instance and allow them to check me out in their way & in their time. I build trust with patience, kindness & love, respecting the animal’s boundaries.

About: Two family dogs when growing up. I have pet sat cats, birds, rabbits, and guinea pigs. If you have chickens or small to medium farm animals, I’d love the opportunity to care for them as well. I love and care for your pets like they are my own. We can play, walk, and chill. I am attentive to needs and will make sure they are fed, walked, clean and use the potty as needed. My daughter and I live in a house with a spacious back yard with an enclosed patio. As for clients homes, whatever is requested of me by the client, I will give 100% to make sure you, your fur baby and your home are taken care of. I work full time. I am available on weekdays after 6pm and all weekends and holidays as I do not travel much. I am very much a home body. My daughter and love to walk and bike. I will love your pet and follow any guidance you give me. My home is clean and pet friendly. I also have a spare bedroom if needed. I have a spacious, fenced in backyard and a covered patio—really good for pets to stretch out, play and nap. My neighborhood is friendly and walkable. I am always very respectful of my client’s homes and will follow any requests. I want your pets to feel at home or comfortable in your home while you’re enjoying your time away. Be stress free.

“My selective pup was not shy with her and this is a plus, he gravitated to her straight away.”

“Leah did a phenomenal job watching my dog, Denver. From the start, she was incredibly communicative and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She kept me updated, was very kind, and it was clear Denver was in great hands the entire time. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. 10/10 experience, and I would most definitely book with her again in the future.”

“Awesome sitter and great picture taker. Missed our cat and was able to see her everyday. She also left detailed information on what she did as well as treated our cat like her own.”

About: Having Dogs around makes my world a better place. After my dog of 17 years, I’m not ready for forever but want to extend my heart to care for others. Vacations were always stressful to find someone so I want to help others to go and not worry. I have a very flexible schedule. I have been available for a lot of different needs of each client. I usually don’t have to leave the house except for a store run. My house is dog friendly. I have a special gated courtyard for outside time. I even have a hallway that can be gated if needed.

“Vanessa was terrific and really put us at ease to leave our pets in her care. She was reliable and responsible with our kitties. They warmed up to her in a few days as she was a natural with them. We really are 100% pleased and feeling great about finding Vanessa.”

“Roe looked like she loved all of your visits and we loved getting all the pictures and the updates on how she was doing. Thank you for taking such good care of our girl while we were away!”

About: I have had a deep passion for dogs since I was a young girl. My experience in dog care began in high school when I cared for a sick loved one’s dog. Over the course of that year, I not only gained a best friend but also developed a strong sense of responsibility and an appreciation for the joy and companionship that comes with caring for animals. Over the past 3–4 years, I have continued building my experience through dog sitting, and for the past two years, I have worked in a dog daycare and boarding facility. These experiences have strengthened my dedication to providing attentive, compassionate care while maintaining a safe and structured environment. I am committed to supporting both pets and their owners with reliability and professionalism. I’m available anytime after dropping my son off to school @8:30am. Or before/after picking him up from aftercare, by 5:30pm. I box on weekdays but can go around what ever is needed. At my home I have a fenced backyard, enough space to crate 1-3 dogs if need be. I want the dog to be as comfortable as possible, a home away from home. As for clients homes , they are to be treated with respect & cleanliness it is their safe space, same as my home.

“Lisa did an amazing job with Dash! The communicated well and quickly responded when I reached out to her. She listened and took all of our advise when checking in on Dash. When we got home, he seem more at ease than usual when we are away. So this was a plus!!! She did very well with him and I would recommend booking her to anyone! Thanks Lisa for taking very good care of Dash while we were away. ?”

About: I've had at least one dog my entire life but currently not quite ready for another one after the loss of our little buddy. Sorry, but dogs are just better than people. I live in a condo close to a park and miles of walkability on quite streets/sidewalks. I will happily snuggle the crap out of your fur baby when you're not able to. 😀 I have my mornings free I'm almost always home on the weekends. Plenty of walks and time outside will not be a problem for your pupper! Please let me know if you have a fenced back yard for your fur baby to roam or if leashed walks will be required. If walks are expected, please make me aware of any car/squirrle/cat/etc chasing habits, fear of cars, etc.
