Dog Sitting Grant

About: I grew up with dogs my whole life since I was born. Grew up in Costa Rica having at least 4 dogs at a time, probably more! My family would rescue any and every dog they saw and they would become family, along with cats and horses, cows and so many other animals. I’m definitely an animal lover and any opportunity I have to spend time with them is a blessing. I’m currently a nursing student and have mostly online classes. So my schedule is super flexible. I’m available on weekends anytime and just need at least a day notice for weekdays! I have baby sat my friend’s dogs and cats throughout the years. I love taking them to the park, car rides, the beach, trails, or even just being couch potatoes together. Whatever it takes to make your pet feel happy, safe, and comfortable is my goal!

About: My love for animals started early—I actually started my first pet-sitting business in my apartment complex when I was 12, and Pampered Paws turned into one busy summer.! I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and have personally cared for two medically needy pets, so I’m comfortable with medications and providing extra care when needed. With my strong background in healthcare, I’m attentive, responsible, and genuinely invested in your pet’s wellbeing. I only care for one pet at a time so they receive my full attention, affection, and—of course—plenty of treats. I recently lost my sweet baby calico, Sushi, after many wonderful years together. Caring for animals has always been a meaningful part of my life, and I would be honored to care for your pet with the same patience, love, and devotion I gave my own. I do not work during the weekend and I do not have children so your pet will have my undivided attention. I’m happy to provide plenty of play both indoor and outdoor, based on pet and owner preferences. I live in a quiet neighborhood, no children, and no pets of my own at this time. In your home, I was raised to take off my shoes at the door, respect other people’s homes like my own, and leave everything better than I found it. I am happy to make your time away from home filled with ease knowing your home and your best friend(s) are in great hands.

“Great job - took excellent care of our kitties and kept us informed with photos and videos thanks!”

About: I’ve taken care of my friends and family’s pets since I was in high school. I’m very responsible and am a calm presence around dogs. I pay attention to their energy and am intuitive about their needs. I have house sat and cared for dogs, cats, horses, cows, and chickens. I love animals and will make sure your furry friend is cared for and loved. I’m known for being responsible so that pet parents can rest easy knowing their pets are in good hands when they’re with me. I work from home full time, so if you need someone to keep your pet company during the day, let me know! I live in a house with a fenced in yard and a screened in pool that has an additional child protection gate if needed. Here’s what some of my clients have said about my work with pets: “Kenzi was made to care for animals! She is incredibly patient and gentle. Very aware of things happening around her. My dogs love when Kenzi comes around and I never have to worry, I know that they will be cared for as if I were there with them. She is a fabulous find!” -Eliza “Kenzi has been a house sitter for me for several times over the last few years. She has been responsible for taking care of my 2 horses, 2 dogs, and 1 cat. When I come home it’s like I just left, everyone is happy and healthy! She will make a great caregiver for anyone’s fur babies, whether well refined or rough around the edges like mine!” -Roberta I currently work from home and have a relatively flexible schedule, so I’d be happy to help with your pet needs. Detailed schedule tbd, but when I tell someone I’m going to be there, I follow through. I’m very responsible and respect the time of others, so I honor my commitments and make sure to follow through if I agree to something. In my home, I’m a remote worker, so I have the time and flexibility to make sure your pet is well taken care of. If your pet joins us, they will well taken care of in an air conditioned and quiet home in a safe neighborhood. I have a fenced in yard too so I can take them out to play and take potty breaks throughout the day. If your pet needs more attention and cuddles, I’m able to give them that attention during my work day so they feel safe and loved. In your house, I am respectful of your space and your pet’s routine. I make sure to leave a place as clean as when I arrived, and I will be a calm and reassuring presence for your pet so they feel safe and loved while you’re away. You can rest assured knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: I have never not owned a pet until recently. I had two cats (brother and sister) for 19 years. I have always had dogs. My most recent was my 60 pounds of love - a black lab. One of my cats had diabetes where I had to give him insulin shots twice a day. Thankfully, he went into remission after 5 years. I have raised puppies and took care of senior dogs. After a long career as a Legal Assistant in West Palm Beach, I have retired to my "happy place", Sebastian, Florida. I have time and energy to love your pets and am looking forward to making friends with your cat(s) and/or dog(s), and even their special human. 😊 I am always aware of your pet's needs. I am intuitive as to what they want or are feeling. Of course, their safety and health is top priority. If they are upset and not eating, I am creative in making sure they stay hydrated and eat.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities—from Chihuahuas to German Shepherd mixes—whether they were mine or part of someone else’s pack. I understand different temperaments and needs, and I treat every pup like family. Plus, I stay connected to expert advice through a close friend who’s a professional dog trainer. I’m fully available for dog walking, drop-ins, and in home services on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. On Thursdays and Fridays, I’m available from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines, provide loving attention, and keep the environment safe and clean. I ensure pets feel secure and happy while their owners are away, and I always respect the home as if it were my own.

“Shelby was great! She took great care of my dog. We will definitely book again!🙌🏽”

About: I had my own special cat that I took care of his whole life. I have cared for many others since then. I would be glad to care for your kitty cat whenever the need arise. I am an educator, so Saturdays and Sundays are the best time for me to care for pets but in the summertime, I will have much more availability I’m very comfortable with taking care of animals. I will treat them as my own, and I will respect your home as mine whenever I’m there to care for your pet

“Alexander took great care of my Sadie while I was out of town for almost a week. I could tell from the many photos taken at each check-in that she enjoyed her visits.”

Jessica P.

“Kristina was great! She started by offering to do a meet and greet, which was fantastic because our big dog can be a jumper and our puppy can be skittish. And then when she did our drop in for us, she was very communicative and provided a lot of updates. We highly recommend Kristina!”

Leah O.

“Jonathan was absolutely fantastic caring for our cat Sheba for 4 days during Thanksgiving. He was very polite, attentions, and accommodating to all our needs. He communicated with us at each twice-a-day visit, letting us know how she was, which gave us peace of mind. I cannot thank him enough for all the care and good work. We highly recommend him and we will definitely have him again.”

I currently have an 9 year old lab/border collie mix who I love dearly! And 3 cats ages 3 to 14 who bring me joy every day! I have a very flexible schedule and can visit your home multiple times a day, 7 days per week. Your pet will be cared for on their normal schedule. I currently care for my own pets with love and attention as they are a part of my family. They receive walks, play time, swimming and treats regularly!

About: I've been sharing my life with and caring for fur babies since I was 14. The incredible bond you share with your furry friend is truly one of the most cherished experiences you'll ever have. I would be delighted to care for your fur baby with the same love, care, and compassion I would want for my own. Now that I work from home, I have plenty of time and flexibility. I can take care of my furry friend in the morning, afternoon, or evening. It’s truly wonderful to have this kind of flexibility and the opportunity to care for a loved one. I have a spacious area that is family-oriented and pet-friendly. I'm happy to walk and play with your pets, giving them the attention they need while you're away.

About: Lifelong pet parent and experienced sitter — I’ve cared for dogs, cats, birds, and hamsters, and I know how important it is that pets receive not just food and safety, but attention, stimulation, and exercise while you’re away. I only work with families who value high-quality, reliable care. Most of my bookings come through referrals, and I always schedule a video call and home visit before confirming any booking. Happy to answer questions or discuss travel requests! Repeat clients receive priority for high-demand holidays. I am regularly open to last minute needs (cancellations from other sitters or emergencies) are also available for repeat clients. I provide in-home care in your residence and am available to travel as needed. I have my own car and am experienced in safely transporting pets. For new clients, I require an introductory meeting: the first can be virtual or in person to go over care needs, and the second must take place in your home so I can meet your pet in their environment. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, provide regular photo updates and status check-ins, and am happy to video call if needed. I’m Pet First Aid certified through the Red Cross, and currently serve clients in both Northern Virginia and Florida.

“Josh was an absolutely fantastic cat sitter for my cat, Milo. While I was away, Milo was clearly well cared for: he was fed, had plenty of fresh water, and his litter box was clean. What meant the most to me was coming home to a calm, happy cat. Milo can sometimes get anxious when I’m gone, but this time he seemed completely at ease, which really speaks to the level of care and attention Josh provided. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Milo was in such good hands. I would highly recommend Josh to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring pet sitter!”

“Tonja was extremely professional and went above and beyond what I asked of her. I have 2 diabetic cats and besides daily pictures, she kept me informed of how many units were given and if they ate or drank water. She helped me out at the last minute and I highly recommend her for kitty care!!”
