Kacey was a very excellent caregiver to Sophie, as usual! I was able to have so much fun on my vacation knowing Sophie was being well taken care of back home. Sophie appreciated all the pets and treats!!! We will be booking with Kacey again 😊

Lisa is wonderful with our dog and 2 cats. I trust her completely , my house, my animals are all well and in excellent care. I would and will recommend her for anyone who needs her care . I’m so glad I found her... so much better to have your animals at home and relaxed rather than being in a kennel.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and currently share my home with three cats and a 30-year-old Amazon parrot. My pets are my family, and that’s exactly how I treat the animals in my care. I’m attentive, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all personalities — from snuggly lap cats to high-energy dogs. You can count on me to follow your pet’s routine, keep you updated, and make sure they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I’m currently not working, which means I have plenty of time and flexibility to give your pet consistent attention and care throughout the day. Pet care isn’t something I fit in around a busy schedule — right now it IS my schedule. For house sitting I treat your home with the same respect I’d want shown to my own. I follow your pet’s established routine closely, keep doors and gates secured, and I’m attentive to your pet’s behavior and needs at all times. I have three cats of my own, so I understand how important a calm, safe environment is for animals.

About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember. I’m currently a dog sitter for my mom whenever she goes out of town. At most, I have taken care of 3 dogs and 2 cats at one time. I have a 6 month training in pet grooming where I learned how to read the signs of a scared or uncomfortable dog/cat, and will always respect their space when it comes to a stranger in their area! I’m currently working part time, so it’s easy for me to stop by and check on your pets! It’s more of a hobby for me than a way to make money. I love all pets! I will always make sure your dog or cat is comfortable with me. Whether that’s giving them the space they need, or making sure they received plenty of affection, or simply making sure they’re in the home!

About: I’ve taken cared of my neighbors , family , and friends pets. I love animals of any kind. I will gladly take care of them with what you want. Give me instructions and I’ll do it. I’m willing to do evening walks after 5:30pm on weekdays if anyone needs I know it’s not set on my calendar. I also love photography so if you’re wanting me to take a couple of pictures for you, I sure can do that. I need to practice so the photos would be free of charge :) I currently work at Merritt Animal Clinic in Eustis from 8 am to 5pm on weekdays except Thursdays and weekends. I can do walks after 5:30 on weekdays but anytime on Thursdays and weekends if I’m not too busy. I will be happy working with your fur babies 😁 I have a male dog. I cuddle with Toby everyday. My yard is fenced and they are watched 24/7. I will wrestle and play with dogs bigger than me as if I’m a dog. Cats are amazing to lay with as well. I only now have a Chihuahua and he’s very needy so any needy animal won’t be a problem for me at all. I love you snuggle up and play with the pets.

About: I’m Brooke! Lover of all pets, young and old, big and small. I can do walks, hikes, swimming, even to a play day at the park, I am sure I will pamper your pooch. For me, it’s their stay, their way! They lead me on their walks, so I allow them to safely do what they want, within reason of course. I might even bring them along for a beach trip and can make some new friends! Pet stores are a given. 

Starbucks pup cups are a given. Any specific requests for them? Let me know! I allow them on my bed and couch, unless you prefer them not to. I always keep the water bowl full and pets happy and healthy. Allow me to meet y'all and let’s play fetch! I’ll even give them a bath if you want! Just bring their shampoo if they have sensitive skin! 🐶 I’m currently a Paralegal remote, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups and attend to them! ❤️ Some call me the dog whisperer but I credit my dog attraction success by understanding that “it’s the dogs world and I’m just living in it”. Dogs come first in my house. I’m always excited to take my dogs on a hike, walk or puppy play date. I live in a dog friendly house with a fenced in yard. I have sat numerous dogs both young and old and enjoy pup slumber parties. If your pup needs a bath, I am willing to scrub them in the tub. If they need certain medications, I can do so. I am also known to make cute treat dog baskets. They’ll be spoiled by me! 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to each pet, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, medication administration, or simply providing companionship and attention. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I make it a priority to follow their normal routines as closely as possible. Throughout the day, I provide regular potty breaks, exercise, enrichment activities, and plenty of affection. I also make time to send updates and photos to pet parents so they can feel connected and reassured while they’re away. Whether caring for a playful puppy, an active adult pet, or a senior companion who needs extra patience and care, I am committed to making sure every pet receives the attention, love, and individualized care they deserve. My goal is to help pets feel relaxed and at home while giving owners peace of mind. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I take the time to learn their individual needs, personality, feeding schedule, exercise requirements, and any special instructions. In a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s home. I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, playtime, exercise, medication administration if needed, and plenty of affection and companionship. I know that many pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment, so I work to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a clean, safe, and welcoming environment where pets can relax and feel part of the family. I ensure they have plenty of attention, supervised playtime, exercise, comfortable resting areas, and constant access to fresh water. I closely monitor pets for any signs of stress or discomfort and adjust care to meet their needs. No matter where I am caring for your pet, I treat them as if they were my own. I believe communication is important, so I provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident knowing their furry family member is receiving loving, dependable care every day.

About: I have watched my cousins dogs and my friend‘s dogs and I love them all! I especially love playing with them and taking them on walks!

Pet care fits perfectly into my routine, and I truly enjoy spending my free time with furry friends!

About: While I excel in taking care of dogs - I do have a soft spot for all pets. I can take care of your cat(s) based on their mood/character and your preferences. I work from home with flexible hours - I can set up schedules based on your pet's needs. We will work things out and adjust/adapt if needed. Taking care of all your pets at very reasonable rates. Offering special rates for rescues in general and bully breeds in particular. Having owned the most misunderstood breed(s) most of my adult life I am rooting for the 'underdog' Pets are free-roaming friends in our house, but understand that at times secured personal space accommodations are needed. Our house is big enough to keep your pack and ours separated if there is no click. Your pet will never be unsupervised while under my care.

About: I have been involved in working with animals on a providing-care basis since I was around 12 years old. I began through petsitting my neighbors dogs when they would go out of town. When I began college I got a job working at our local petstore which taught me so much more about caring for pets. I have also dedicated plenty of time to volunteering with animal shelters and fostering pets till they find their forever home. Now, I have multiple pets of my own and love any and all pets I have ever come across. I am currently a full time remote employee so I work from home M-F each week 7-4pm. Thankfully, working from home allows for flexibility and time with your pets the majority of the time. I am flexible with scheduling and I am happy to work with you and your pet to meet any needs or requirements that you may have. I currently live in a house with a large fenced in backyard where pets can run and play. I have pets of my own, 2 dogs. They get along great with each other and they all love other animals- cats and dogs alike. I am surrounded by great hiking trails, great parks, and more.

About: I have lots of experience caring for neighbors and friends pets - dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, guinea pigs! I do have a cat of my own so I would prefer to care for animals in their owners home, however my availability right now is completely open! I recently graduated from nursing school and am awaiting my boards exam, and am looking for some opportunities for cash in the meantime! I worked at a veterinary hospital for eight months during my time in nursing school, and absolutely love animals of all kinds. It fits perfectly for me at the moment, as I am mostly spending my time right now studying for my boards exam. I do prefer to care for pets in their owners home, but I do have full availability, at least for the next few months! I have a cat who suffers from stomach issues and is on a special prescription diet with supplements. At my apartment complex there is a dog park, and plenty of space to walk dogs. I am free to stay in an owners home to care for their pets and walk them as many times as needed. I am also very good with communication!

About: I’ve had a wide variety of pets growing up and I understand that’s pets are family members and should be treated as such! We don’t deserve our pets so it’s up to us to give them the best care and love! I have a high energy husky who gets lots of play time during the day and walks in the morning and at night. Pet care is already integrated into my daily routine. In my home I give the dogs play time at the park and inside and keep them occupied with safe toys and lick mays. In a clients home I will play with your pets and care for them as instructed.

About: Years of experience with cats and dog. Comfortable with any and every size, large or small. I am a runner, so if you have a high energy baby I would love to run with them! I currently work full-time with a strange schedule. Mondays and Wednesdays I work from 7:30. Take a break at 11:00. Go back at 2:30. Get off at 6:00. Tuesdays and Thursdays go in at 12:00. Get off at 7:00 Fridays I go in at 6:30 and get off at 1:00. Off on the weekends I would love to spend time with your fur babies playing with them, making sure they're fed with water brushing them playing with them for however long you see fit. If walks are required that is absolutely no problem. Would also love to work with your dogs with obedience and toy play.
