About: I was a vet tech for 15 years. I’ll treat your pet with loving kindness and respect. I know how to keep your pet comfortable and safe. I am a proud pug mom and she is like my child. I will treat your fur kid the same way. I also have experience with senior pets, as I had an old pug, who was the love of my life. I’m a runner and I can keep up with your pet. Whether it’s a walk during the day, medication administered, a one mile run with your puppy, hanging with them while you go on vacation…I’m here for you and your pet! My schedule is currently open to take care of your fur babies. Please contact me for availability, as things may be filling up as time goes on. I will care for your pets in your home! I am familiar with crate and potty training. I have 15 years experience in the veterinary tech field so I am knowledgeable. I am familiar with caring for dogs and cats.

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up on a farm, I cared for everything from small livestock to beloved family pets, giving me hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals and personalities. Over the years, I've cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, pot-bellied pigs, sheep, goats, horses, donkeys, cows, reptiles, and amphibians. Most recently, I've provided care for senior dogs and understand the extra patience, compassion, and attention they need as they age. My diverse background allows me to confidently care for pets of all sizes, temperaments, and life stages. Pet care fits well into my current routine. I'm currently attending school to become an airline pilot, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. For house sitting and overnight stays, some advance coordination may be needed since I'm a single dad. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and accommodating whenever possible. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or mine, I treat your animals, property, and routines with the utmost respect. I take the time to learn each pet's unique needs, maintain consistent routines, and provide attentive care to help them feel secure and happy. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind, knowing their furry family members are being cared for with kindness, dignity, and genuine affection.

About: I take care of three different dogs of all three different sizes (Teacup maltese, french bulldog, and black lab/pitbull mix)! I grew up in a dog-house and love to care for and walk any dog! I’m currently a post-graduate student with a M.S. in Exercise and Sport Science! While applying for more full-time roles in this field, I have plenty available to accommodate any dog sitting and or/ walking needs! Available at most times of the week - feel free to reach out if you have any question regarding scheduling :) I will ensure pet safety through proper care and grooming, all while making sure they get some proper exercise in! I’m a certified personal trainer so I love to get myself and the dog a great workout in!

About: I really enjoy being outdoors and walking my dogs regularly, since I was able to take a few steps I've enjoyed walking dogs. I have always felt I have a good connection with animals in general (except spiders). I understand you must be patient when taking dogs for a walk as some dogs may be older and have different needs. I've had dogs as small as chihuahuas to yellow labs. I volunteer at animal services and Born Free animal shelter when I can. I really care about the well being of dogs and their happiness. I can bring treats on our walk or any toy they enjoy. I am very athletic so I have no problem running with the dog(s) either. I understand the importance of being able to trust that your animals are in safe hands♥️ I teach at a local elementary school so afternoons work best for me! I’m available any time of day on the weekends. My husband is home during the day and is able to help out as well if your baby is at our house The safety of your pet and of mine are my number one priority. If I’m taking care of your baby at my house, The animals will not ever be left alone, especially if it’s a new introduction. And if I’m coming to you, any and all detailed directions are very much appreciated.

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a home with both cats and dogs, and I truly cannot imagine life without them as part of the family. That is not just something I say. It is how I live. I have had cats since I was six years old, and my wife and I have shared our home with both cats and dogs our entire adult lives. Right now, our little crew includes our ten year old dog Nara and our two younger cats, Chiri and Lulu. Living in a multi-pet household has taught me how to read different personalities, manage different energy levels, and create a calm, respectful environment where everyone feels secure. I do not see pets as property. They are sentient, emotional members of the family with their own routines, preferences, and boundaries. When I care for your pet, I approach them with patience, attentiveness, and genuine respect. I adjust to their temperament. High energy or shy. Playful or independent. Young or senior. My goal is always the same. Make them feel safe, understood, and comfortable in their own space. My wife brings years of pet sitting experience and previously worked as a dog trainer and consultant. I have learned a great deal from her about behavior, structure, positive reinforcement, and how to respond calmly in different situations. That experience has shaped how I show up with animals. Steady. Observant. Consistent. When caring for your pets, I focus on: • Keeping routines consistent • Providing appropriate play and enrichment • Maintaining clean food, water, and litter areas • Offering calm companionship when that is what they need • Sending thoughtful updates and photos so you feel completely at ease Leaving your pets in someone else’s care requires trust. I take that responsibility seriously. I will treat your pets the way I treat my own. With patience, kindness, and real affection. If you are looking for someone who understands that your pets are family, I would love to help. 🐾 My schedule is flexible, which allows me to give your pet the time and attention they deserve. I focus on keeping their routine consistent, with regular potty breaks, play when they’re up for it, and plenty of companionship rather than quick, rushed visits. I’m available for afternoon and evening visits, weekend care, overnight stays in your home, house sitting, and extended care when needed. Whether your pet needs a few check-ins during the day, weekend coverage, or overnight care, I’m happy to work around what fits best for you. I aim to be present, attentive, and easy to communicate with, and I’ll send regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is comfortable and well cared for. If you have specific timing or needs, feel free to reach out. I’m always happy to find a setup that works well for you and your pets. 🐾 Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for your pets, whether in your home or mine. In your home, I focus on keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I carefully follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, walking preferences, and any household guidelines you provide. I’m attentive to details like doors, gates, leashes, and secure areas so your pet stays safe at all times, and I treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own. My approach is calm, patient, and low-stress. I use fear-free handling techniques and pay close attention to behavior and subtle changes, especially for pets who may be more sensitive or require extra care. I’m also certified in Dog CPR & First Aid, so I’m prepared to recognize and respond appropriately if any concerns arise. I believe in clear, proactive communication. If anything seems off, I’ll reach out right away so you always feel informed and at ease. I aim to create an environment where every pet feels safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. They’re family, and I treat them that way. 🐾

About: Patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I’m comfortable caring for energetic young pets as well as seniors who may need extra patience, medication support, or a calmer routine. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners feel reassured while they’re away. I have taken care of dogs since I was a little girl.

About: I'm a former professional dog walker and pet sitter now only doing freelance. I'm a long time animal lover who can't wait to get to know you and your pets, no matter what kind of animal! I've cared for animals for much of my life and I've been a volunteer at the Humane Society of Vero Beach, where I cared for and walked dogs and spent time with cats. I've had chickens, fish, rodents, big dogs, little dogs, a cat, and a gecko. I understand no two animals are the same and I'm willing to meet the needs of each individual pet and owner to ensure both animal and human are safe, comfortable, and happy. My availability is 12pm-6pm, but I can also do 11am-7pm. I can do any day, including holidays, but I have a more restricted schedule on Christmas Day. I'd stick strictly to your instructions, unless in cases of emergency. I would keep in contact and ask for permission before doing anything I am unsure of in your house and/or with your pet.

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all breeds and personalities, from friends and family pets to my full-time work with my company Cedar & Hound. I also have an energetic German Shorthaired Pointer of my own, so I understand the joy and responsibility of keeping a dog happy and well-exercised. I pride myself on being reliable, trustworthy, and fully attentive to both dogs and their surroundings during every walk or visit. It would be a true honor to care for your best friend and make each day safe, fun, and full of love. Pet care is a core part of my daily routine. I work for a local dog walking company (The Strutting Pooch), so caring for dogs is what I do every day. I’m also building my own private client base, which allows me to offer more personalized care and consistent availability. Because dog walking is already part of my regular schedule, I’m reliable, attentive, and fully present during every walk and visit. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort always come first. I care for every pet as if they were my own and take the time to understand their routines, quirks, and needs. I use secure leashes, stay aware of our surroundings, and make thoughtful choices to keep every walk safe and stress-free. My goal is to create a calm, loving experience where your dog feels happy, confident, and cared for — and to keep you feeling reassured with regular updates along the way.

About: Over the years I’ve done seasonal work and have traveled around a ton so when I’m staying in one place for a bit, my lifestyle allows for me to have the flexibility needed to assist pet owners with their animals while they are out of town! I have 10+ years of consistently watching the same (and new) families pets, nannying for their children and house managing. Being asked to return time and time again. Im living in Vero for the summer doing a bit of house managing, teaching yoga, selling juice and working on my millinery skills! Let’s connect. I work seasonally and part time, so when I’m house sitting I have the flexibility to be at the house throughout the day when needed. When house sitting pets at the clients home, I typically am able to adapt my schedule around what the home owner is in need of.

“Amanda was excellent. She is very organized and good about texting and sending photos. And you can tell she truly loves dogs! I couldn’t have asked for a better dog walker.”

In your home, with your instructions, your pets will enjoy their natural environment.
