My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care so both you and your pet feel comfortable and at ease while you're away!❤️ I like to keep customers updated about their pets because they are their fur babies! I will be glad to inform you of every single detail throughout the day, and if you have any requests, I will take it importantly.❤️

About: Growing up around Forster dogs and family pets, caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet like family and always make sure they get plenty of attention, patience, playtime, and care. I am a full-time college who is currently off for summer break. I have plenty of time on my hands and want to spend it doing something I love. I will care for every pet as if they are my own. Each pet’s normal routine will be followed closely. With my own dog, we go on walks twice a day, and he also has a back yard to play in.

About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and caring for them comes naturally to me. Whether it’s a playful pup or a cuddly senior, I treat every pet like they’re my own—with patience, love, and plenty of attention. I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs, and I’m committed to making them feel safe, happy, and understood while you're away. I offer flexible availability, including weekdays, weekends, and short notice bookings—so whether it’s a midday walk or a weekend of snuggles, I’ve got you covered. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member and give them all the care they deserve! Hi! I currently work full time but I work remotely. I am available for pet walks early mornings (6am), afternoons (12-1), night time( 6pm-8pm). I have full availability on weekends as well for 24 hour support.

I am very detailed oriented as well and can provide the best possible care!

About: I live in GATEWAY, near JetBlue park. I grew up on a farm in Ohio tending for many animals for many years. Have owned several cats, dogs and lizards in my adult life. Do not currently own any pets I am a Flight Attendant. I create my own travel schedule, so I can be flexible with enough notice. When I’m home I’m completely flexible with my routine. We live on a quiet street great for long walks. We have a large lanai that is perfect for napping. Our neighborhood requires all animals to be leashed outside so I will be with your dog at all times.

About: I’ve fostered dogs and cats since I was young, as well as raising bottle-fed kittens. I have two cats of my own, and worked at a pet store for 3 years! I’m a teacher on summer break, so until August, I am available weekdays and weekends at anytime! There are a few certain days I will be out of town, but I will give notice! I have a fenced in patio where a dog can relax, as well as a kiddie pool for some fresh water play! I can take dogs for pup cup runs, take lots of cute pics for you, and go on walks!

About: My heart truly belongs to the fur babies of this world!! I would absolutely enjoy making some extra income doing what I love most. I have taken 1 year of Vet Tech courses at Baker College. At the age of 16 I received my license and started Petsitting that very first week. I have 32+ years of experience being a Petsitter!!! I have worked in a Veterinary Clinic for a short time and have also worked at the Kent County Humane Society in Grand Rapids, MI. I have a lot of general knowledge in animal care and handling. I have a bit of experience in training dogs also. I would treat your fur babies as if they were my own. I have a lot of love to give and would love to get to know your fur baby/babies. ***If you book a drop in visit or walk the minimum I stay is 30 minutes. It’s not uncommon for me to hangout for up to an hour. I don’t view this as a job. It’s a honor and a pleasure to spend time with any and all fur babies so I’m often not in a hurry to leave. I’ve been a housekeeper for many years and have always done Petsitting/Pet Care on the side for my cleaning customers. Now that I am older I have given up the house cleaning and am just focusing on the fur babies. I moved down here to Florida a few years ago and decided I want to get back to petsitting. I was a former school bus driver back in Michigan. When I moved to Florida the thought of driving bus in this crazy traffic did not appeal to me. I became a store manager for a self storage facility down here but I’ve decided it’s time for me to get back to my passion. I want to care and love on your babies!!! I have one elderly cat and two dogs currently in my home. My cat has to be quarantined to one part of the house due to the fact my dog Molly has developed a fear of cats and can’t be trusted with Lucy. She also doesn’t like other dogs so I unfortunately can’t do any petsitting in my home. I have excellent references that can be provided. I understand it is scary to let a stranger watch your fur child so I will gladly provide references at your request. I will cater to your pets special needs and will do my best to provide them comfort and love while you are away. I offer a free meet and greet to go over all care instructions that will be needed while you are away. This gives us a bit to get to know one another. I’m so excited to meet you and your furry family members.

I also currently have 2 dogs of my own and have also done dog training with dogs I've owned in the past. Im friendly with a great work ethic and even have some training and knowledge with a variety of household pets. I am able to care for others fur babies while my 3 children are in school from the hours of 8-2. I can also be pretty flexible. I have some dog training knowledge, as well as a decent amount of knowledge on a variety of animals, and im also bilingual speaking English and Spanish.

About: I have had pets my entire life. I currently have three fur babies. Two dogs and one cat. I have experience in giving medication and all cleaning/grooming type tasks for both dogs and cats. I am very detail oriented and your pets overall wellbeing and happiness are very important to me. I will give them the love and respect that they deserve! I currently work at nighttime so I am able to provide dog walking or drop in visits for both dogs and cats during the day! I will spoil your babies with so much love and attention so they don't feel lonely while you are out and about. I am great at following any specific instructions provided as well.

About: I have been caring for pets of family and friends since childhood, and over time it naturally became a passion. I have experience with cats, large and small dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, and currently I have a rabbit of my own. I am also an exotic pet lover. I have always researched and studied a lot about animal care and health, I like to go beyond the basics to make sure I can provide the best care for my pets. One of my biggest challenges (and achievements) was training my rabbit at home <3 I have always been very attentive with my pets’ health, I even had a personal veterinarian for all of them, including routine check-ups for my hamster haha. For me it is really easy to have a connection with animals and quickly build trust with them, which helps me understand their needs and behaviors. I truly hope to become a veterinarian in the future and continue dedicating my life to animal care. I believe that any living being that is dependent and innocent deserves the highest level of care, love, and protection possible. I currently work part-time, but due to the low season I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I’m able to adapt easily to each pet’s needs and provide consistent, loving care throughout the day. I live in a gated community, in a apartment with a lot of space. The condominium offers a dedicated dog park with a fenced area where dogs can safely run and play, as well as walking trails for daily exercise. If needed, I can also share photos of the environment so you can feel fully confident and comfortable about where your pet will be staying <3

About: I grew up surrounded by all kinds of animals and truly love them all—big, small, shy, energetic, and everything in between. I currently have a cat of my own and have 3 family dogs. I work from home full-time in HR for a tech company, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to devote to caring for your pets. I live in an apartment community that has a dog park and a walking trail, making it easy to get pups plenty of exercise and fresh air. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness always come first. I aim to create a fun, calm, and stress-free experience for both you and your pet.
