House Sitting Grant

About: My love for animals began at age 10, when my family rescued two kittens from Morocco during a vacation. That early experience grew into a lifelong devotion to caring for all kinds of creatures. I later spent 20 years on a small farm in Loxahatchee tending to cats, dogs, chickens, turkeys, exotic birds, and many abandoned animals who found their way to my door. With decades of hands‑on experience, from feral cats to bottle‑fed newborns, from energetic pups to sensitive birds, I bring calm, patient, loving care to every animal I meet. Each pet has a unique personality, and I take the time to understand what helps them feel safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for. With a part‑time work schedule, I’m able to offer calm, unhurried, and attentive loving care to your favorite companion, no matter their species or personality. In your home, I create a peaceful, familiar experience for your pet. I follow your routines with care, offer calm companionship, and pay close attention to their emotional and physical needs. Whether it’s feeding, play, cuddles, or quiet presence, I make sure your pet feels safe, understood, and gently cared for.

“Holly watched our dog for a few days at our home. She was excellent with our pup who sometimes is a little grumpy. We were extremely comfortable with her caring for our dog in our house. Holly provided updates and pictures to us while we were away. If we ever need a sitter again Holly will be our first choice.”

About: I love taking care of my family, friends, and coworkers pets. Seeing the joy form in the dog’s faces when I meet their needs is so accomplishing. I’d love to take care of yours!

About: Greetings! My name is Monica and I look forward to learning all about you and your pets! First, a little about myself and the care I am qualified to provide. I have always had a unique desire and ability to take in and care for animals, but when I began working in rescue and brought my first heart-dog into my life, it grew into a true passion. He was a joy and one of the best companions I’ve ever had. We currently share our home with 2 dogs and a foster pup, and I bring an experienced and loving approach to every pet in my care. I have over 30 years of providing care and support for animals, mostly cats and dogs, but also pocket pets, exotics, pigs and birds, including chickens. I have been a foster volunteer, coordinator and board member for a national breed rescue for the last 20 years. In that time, I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds and temperaments from energetic pups to seniors fostering dozens of rescued dogs and cats, including pregnant moms, whelping litters of puppies and raising orphan bottle-baby kittens. I have extensive experience with special-needs and senior pets, including monitoring and treatment of acute and long-term medical conditions, recovery from injuries and surgical procedures, physical therapy, paralysis, specific dietary needs and preparation of homemade pet foods. I am qualified to administer medications, injections and sub-q fluids and assist animals during rehabilitation. I’ve also worked as a dog trainer focusing on behavior modification and basic obedience training and greatly enjoy helping dogs learn and develop at their own pace. I maintain a close relationship with several of our local veterinarians and trainers with a network of professional resources. I look forward to sharing time with your pets! I have a flexible schedule and strive to accommodate the individual needs of each pet and family, including visits for walks and playtime and overnight sitting in your home. I have the ability to work with a variety of care needs, and prioritize the safety, well-being and happiness of beloved animals and their humans above all else. I also carry pet care insurance for clients’ trust and assurance partnering together with their beloved fur-families.

About: My whole life has been around animals. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, rodents, all of it and love every single one. I volunteered at the Humane Society (walking dogs and taking care of cats) I was in 4H (taking care of rabbits and guniea pigs) I’m a huge animal lover (every breed, every kind). You’ll have no worries about me because I’ll treat them like newborn babies. Constant care and affection. I have two dogs of my own at the moment and they’re friendly towards people & animals. Babe is my spoiled princess and she loves playing and meeting new animals. Tyson is my big boy, don’t let his size fool you he’s is very loving and such a goofball. You wont be disappointed.

About: I’ve always grown up with dogs but have been dog sitting for several years now. At home my family has two very high-energy dogs so I know what it takes to keep them occupied and exercised. We can have lots of play time if that’s what your dog enjoys or just hangout together around the house if that’s more their speed. You can guarantee on receiving updates and photos of your dog while away if all the fun things we are doing! We will do a long walk or run or playtime in the morning before it’s too hot out. Throughout the day we will have outside time and can do shorter walks or go on adventures together and in the evening another long walk or playtime! My schedule is super flexible. I follow your care instructions so the dog has the same rules and routines while you’re away. I want your dog to be comfortable and have fun while you’re away so you don’t have to worry.

“Anne-Renee was a great communicator, and took great care of our injured boy while we had a night out. She kept us in the loop and gave us peace of mind while we were gone. I’d happily book her again.”

“Daisy seemed to have great care with Derek. He was reliable and came a day early for a meet and greet. He seemed to follow the instructions I left. He was very pleasant and was willing to do what was asked. He also kept us informed and sent lots of pictures. The house was left in great condition. I wouldn't hesitate to have Derek again.”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Since 2016, I have gained professional experience through animal shelters, veterinary hospitals, and caring for pets for veterinary clients. I hold a degree in Animal Science from the University of Florida and have experience with pets of all ages, breeds, temperaments, and medical needs, including administering medications and injections. Whether I'm stopping by for a visit, taking your dog for a walk, or staying in your home, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I pride myself on excellent communication, following pet parent instructions carefully, and providing reliable, attentive care. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you're away and make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Caring for animals has always been a part of my daily life. I have owned animals my entire life, so animal care is naturally built into my routine. In addition to my personal experience, I have worked in veterinary medicine and animal welfare settings, giving me extensive hands-on experience with pets of all ages and needs. I work full-time Monday through Wednesday, but I can often adjust my schedule to accommodate pet visits depending on location. The remainder of my week offers greater flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I carefully manage my schedule to ensure every pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, exercise, medication, and household instructions carefully while providing plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection based on each pet's personality and preferences. I have experience caring for pets with medical needs, senior pets, puppies and kittens, and those with behavioral challenges. Communication is very important to me, so I provide updates, photos, and videos when requested. I also treat my clients' homes with the same respect I would my own. Before the end of a house-sitting stay, I typically wash any bedding and towels I used, clean up after myself, and leave the home tidy so clients can return to both happy pets and a well-cared-for home.

“Very impressed with the care that Sarah took with my dog. I had left my instruction and she followed everything I asked for. My dog was very happy and well taken care of during my 2 week vacation.”

“Matthew was great to our two pups. He was diligent and professional giving me updates of the dogs. He kept our house clean and organized. He took excellent care of my schnauzer that was limping. I will definitely book him again in the future!”

About: Hi there! My name is Kira and I'm 24 years old. I am a hug animal lover and have been taking care of pups and cats since I was very young. Growing up my step father was a vet tech, because of this he brought us along to pet sit for dogs and cat while people were away. I also have a cat name Walter and a dog named Disney who I love and care for. I also work front desk at Dogtopia of Viera were I have learned more about dog care as well. I understand how stressful it can be with leaving a pet at home by themselves and I want to help make that process easier for both you and your pet. I can't wait to get to know you and your furry friends! I am currently working only Mondays and Tuesdays in Rockledge from 1 PM - 7:15 PM. I will occasionally go up to Orlando for quick trips as well. Either than that I am free. I have experience with all different environment for you pet. I follow any instructions for your pet weather it's feedings, walks, medications, ect. Whatever you need.

About: I have a big dog of my own and know what it's like to be worried about the kind of people takihng care of your dog while you are away. I hope give each familypeace of mind as they trust me with their furry friend! I am a medical student full time so I have plenty of time to walk, sit, and feed your pets with pretty short notice if need be! I prioritize each pet's safety, comfort, and routine. Before providing care, I review the owner's instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and any special requirements. I ensure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and enrichment. In a client's home, I respect their routines and keep pets in familiar surroundings to reduce stress. I monitor pets for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health and communicate updates regularly with the owner.

About: I provide more than just pet sitting—I create a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for every dog in my care, whether puppy or senior. I take the time to understand each dog's unique personality, routine, and needs, so they feel comfortable and at home. My schedule is very flexible as I work from home and if you need overnight care I can bring my laptop and work from anywhere while caring for your pet. I don’t have a fenced in yard but am comfortable walking your pet as often as necessary. In my home, they are in a clean and comfortable environment. In your home, with your instructions, your pets will enjoy their natural environment.

About: I’ve had a dog by my side since the day I was born. In fact, the only time in my entire life I haven't had a pup around was a single year during college, and that was one year too many. Dogs are a constant in my life, not just a hobby. I have a strong passion for working with disabled and special needs animals. Whether it's managing mobility issues, administering medication, or providing the extra patience required for physical or behavioral challenges, I’m fully committed to that level of care. I’m also very experienced with resource guarding and high energy breeds. I don’t just watch dogs; I work to understand their specific personality and needs so they feel safe and supported. Working from home gives me the flexibility to be truly present and attentive during the week. I am available Monday through Saturday for drop ins, dog walks, vet visits, conditioning sessions, dog transport, or love bombs. I am generally free to help out starting at 2:00 PM on weekdays and have much more open availability on Saturdays. I do not offer services on Sunday. I focus on high quality mobile care for your pups during the week. My priority is being entirely respectful of both your dog’s comfort and your home environment. I understand that every dog has a specific routine and safe space, and I make it a point to maintain that structure to keep stress levels low. You can count on me to be professional and meticulous with your property. I treat every home with the same level of care and respect I’d want for my own. Whether we are out for a walk or hanging out inside, I focus on clear communication and safety so you have total peace of mind.

“Shelby was so amazing!! She was so attentive, answered our texts right away, and did everything we we asked of her. She left the house very clean and tidy when she left. Gator absolutely loved her, we swear he was sad when we got home because it wasn’t Shelby. Thank you Shelby and we’ll be booking her again soon!”
