Cat Sitting Gulf City

“Linnea was great! We were gone for two weeks and I could always count on her being at our house at a specific time to look after our two cats. She took excellent care of them. I previously used another sitter from this site and when I would come home one of our cats (who is very loving but also extremely high strung) would be all wound up and "hyper". This time when we came home she was calm and relaxed and ready to snuggle. I will definitely be using Linnea again. She has become my number one choice.”

“Nalisha was amazing and got to meet me and my dog, Henry, before doing the drop-in visits so she could get a feel for where everything was, what my Henry likes, etc., which did a lot to help me feel comfortable and confident that he was well taken care of while I was away. She was accommodating of my schedule for drop-in visits and also took super cute pics of Henry. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”

“Sherry is so kind and wonderful to my pups. I have a very busy schedule that fluctuates tremendously so when I need a last minute visit, she’s very accommodating. I have 4 pups who have meds and are somewhat on the special needs side and not only is Sherry trustworthy, but she also confirms with me if there is a slight difference with instructions to ensure she gets it correct. I highly recommend her to watch your pups!! You won’t be disappointed :)”

About: I believe that pets are more than animals, they are also family. My priority is for them to be comfortable, healthy, well taken care of, and happy. I also have experience with giving medications such as oral, ear drops, and eye drops. Although this may sound a little random, I also speak Spanish for those who have pets that only understand that language. If your pet likes to sleep on the bed, I have no problem with that. I tend to enjoy the company anyway. I can house sit any day of the week/weekend. However, I do have another job that I go to: Monday-Friday. Other than that, I’m usually free. Before I go to work or anywhere, I make sure that I either walk my dogs, or at least take them outside the yard so they can do whatever they need to do. I also like to stay with them an hour or two before leaving, just because I like for them to have a little bit of cuddle or fun time. I also like to take them to the dog park to socialize them and for them to have their exercise. I usually try to keep them in a healthy diet but, if I do feed them human food, I always look up information to make sure if it’s healthy or not because, why should they miss out? They loves car rides as well, so I tend to bring them with me wherever they can. They’re my travel buddies. We also sometimes go chill at the beach, and whenever we do that, I always bring a bag of necessities such as toys, plenty of waters, their water bowls, their leash, and doggy bags. I sometimes bring a couple of their favorite treats or stop by a store to get something we can eat.

“Tristin is amazing. My dog Kairo loves her and enjoys going on walks with her. She has been our house sitter for about 2 months now and I have nothing but great things to say about her. Communication is amazing and you can tell she genuinely cares for him.”

“Lizania did a wonderful job of taking care of our cats.they were more responsive to her than they have been to other sitters and were happy and healthy when we got home. I would use her again when we went away.”

Nancy M.

“Glen was fantastic!!!! He went above and beyond making Lola feel happy, safe and secure. I would absolutely recommend Glen to anyone who wants their fur baby taken great care of. We will most definitely use Glen again! Wonderful experience!”

Marietta K.

“Fluffy was fantastic. She was reliable and punctual, and most importantly, Izzy liked her and trusted her to give her medication every day. We will definitely use her again.”

Kim M.

“Lisa was wonderful and I would recommend her to anyone looking for care for their pet! She asked to do a meet and greet (at no charge) ahead of time which I really appreciated - it was great to be able to explain instructions in person. She arrived on time, sent updates and was an overall pleasure to work with. Will definitely use again!”

Joseph R.

“Shayla was amazing with my fur-baby! She followed instructions as directed, communicated daily, provided prompt responses, and arrived on-time for scheduled check-ins and walks. For example, my dog is given multi-vitamins twice daily and Shayla followed those instructions. She was flexible with her schedule: as I needed to add check-in services and accommodated my last minute requests. She showed some much love and patience towards my fur-baby during my extended trip with lots of hugs, belly rubs and play, which added the comfort my fur-baby needed. I would highly recommend Shayla to anyone who is seeking someone who is truly passionate about caring for your pet, has excellent communication skills, and is extremely reliable. We look forward to booking Shayla again!!”

“Jess was amazing with our dogs and even did extra to play with our kitties. She included so many pictures of our babies it was nice to see them being so happy while we were out of town. Would definitely recommend using her to watch your fur babies.”

Sara P.

“Rachel was wonderful to work with! She took great care of our senior dogs while we were away. We will continue to book with Rachel when we go out of town.”

Jennifer R.

“Sasha was very easy to communicate with. She asks all the right questions to help her be prepared for the drop in visit. She addressed all concerns I had wanted someone to look out for, and wrote up an extremely thorough report about her visit with plenty of pictures. I highly recommend her for your drop in needs”

Lily H.

“She was great with our dog and kept him well loved while we were away! 😌”

About: Plenty of references with my regular customers that I can share. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I’ve long been the go-to person for family and friends when they need someone they trust to care for their pets. I also volunteer with Dogs Inc., which has given me even more appreciation for understanding dog behavior and providing consistent, thoughtful care. Hi! I’m a lifelong dog mom and recently retired professional who now has the time to focus on something I truly love spending time with animals. Animals have always been part of my life, and caring for them comes very naturally to me. I’m also a volunteer with Dogs Inc., which has given me an even deeper appreciation for dog behavior, patience, and understanding different personalities. I’m physically fit and active, so daily walks, playtime, and keeping up with energetic dogs is something I truly enjoy. I share my home with my dog Roxie, who absolutely loves having visiting dogs around. She’s very friendly and quickly becomes the welcoming committee for any new house guests. Because I’m retired, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time for walks, visits, playtime, and companionship. Whether your dog needs exercise, a midday visit, or a comfortable place to stay, I love making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. I provide a safe, calm, and trusting environment and care for every pet just as I would my own, with plenty of attention, love, and care.

About: I’ve cared for pets for years through pet sitting for family members and friends, and animals have always been an important part of my life. One of my most meaningful experiences was caring for my elderly dog, Oreo, during the later years of his life. As he became less mobile, I helped him with stairs, getting on and off the couch, finding his food and water, and getting around comfortably. Caring for him taught me a lot about patience, gentleness, and paying attention to the little changes that can make a big difference for an older pet. I currently have two cats: Levi, my sweet one-eyed kitty, and Romie, who joined our household when we moved in with his owner. While I don’t currently have a dog of my own because I’m a student and know how much time and dedication dogs deserve, I still absolutely love being around them and getting my dog fix through the pets I care for! I understand that pets aren’t “just pets”, they’re family. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, a patient companion, or a little extra help getting around, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I’d want someone to give my own. Pet care is already built into my everyday routine. With my own cats, I start by making sure they’re fed and have plenty of fresh water; something I think is especially important and sometimes overlooked with pets. After that, I always make time for attention, whether that means cuddling on the couch, chasing a laser pointer, or simply letting them hang out wherever everyone else is. My cats may be independent, but they still want to be involved in absolutely everything we do! I also give my one-eyed kitty, Levi, his daily eye drop and keep a close eye on his eye since it requires a little extra care. At the end of the day, the cats usually get another round of playtime with a wand toy or whatever has caught their attention that week before finding their favorite cozy spot in our bed. I’m also the proud aunt of a very house-elf-looking wiener dog named Willow. Over the years, I’ve cared for her whenever my sister needed me to, which usually meant walks, meals, fresh water, treats, cuddles, and plenty of time to sniff the neighborhood. After walking a hound for years, I have learned that getting from Point A to Point B is merely a suggestion. Sometimes every single blade of grass apparently requires a full investigation! I’m very patient with that because sniffing and exploring are part of how dogs experience their world, and I’m happy to let them enjoy their walk rather than rush them through it. Once Willow has had her walk and settles down for one of her famous naps, that’s usually when I’ll work on schoolwork or other things I need to get done. Being a student gives me flexibility to work pet care naturally into my day, and I’m very comfortable planning my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime, medications, check-ins, and whatever routine helps a pet feel most at home. Whether your fur baby is staying with me or I’m checking in on them in the comfort of their own home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m more than happy to follow any precautions, routines, house rules, feeding instructions, or little quirks that help your pet feel secure, because you know your animal better than anyone. I truly believe “just a pet” is not a thing. I would want someone caring for my own animals to take their safety and comfort seriously, and I wouldn’t offer another pet parent anything less. I’d love to say I’m Snow White and every animal immediately trusts me, but realistically, every pet has their own personality! I’m happy to give a nervous pet space, earn their trust at their pace, or give an affectionate one all the attention they’re asking for.

“Highly recommend. Emily stopped by to check in on my cat when I was out of town and she sent a lot of pictures and was very good with communication.”

About: I have always had a love for animals! When I moved to Florida in 2005 is where I started my first job working at a private owned boarding and grooming facility. High school I was in FFA, I did some grooming and rabbit care! I worked at an animal hospital as a tech for two years recently. I enjoy building bonds with animals and giving them the care they deserve and more! Currently I am available Saturdays and Sundays. I am available for dog walks and drop in visits for potty breaks, play time, and/or feeding times! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my highest priorities. For that reason, all pets are under direct supervision whenever they are in my care, regardless of whether we are in your home or mine. Fresh water is always available, and all meals are supervised to ensure your pet eats safely and comfortably. For walks, I kindly request that dogs wear a properly fitted harness rather than a collar whenever possible. Harnesses provide added safety and better control, helping protect both your pet and me during our outings. To provide the best care possible, please let me know about any behavioral traits or special needs, including: - Temperament and personality - Comfort level with people and other animals - Any fears, anxieties, or triggers - Medical conditions or current medications. For the safety of all pets in my care, I also require that your pet’s rabies vaccination is current. Thank you for trusting me with your furry family member. I look forward to providing them with safe, loving, and attentive care while you’re away.
