Pet Sitting Harbour Island

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, especially French Bulldogs, and have experience caring for animals of all kinds, from dogs and cats to hamsters, fish, and even horses. I also volunteered at a dog rescue in Chicago for about a year, so I’m very comfortable with dogs who are shy, nervous, need patience, or simply take a little extra time to warm up. I currently have a very friendly French Bulldog of my own, so I’m especially familiar with dogs who need a little extra attention or have health considerations. He recently had spinal surgery, which has given me firsthand experience with giving medication, following restrictions, keeping up with special care instructions, and being extra attentive to a dog’s comfort and mobility. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your dog wants three long walks a day and nonstop playtime or would rather curl up on the couch and get attention, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I genuinely love having animals around and treat every dog in my care like they’re my own. I work from home full-time, which makes my schedule extremely flexible and allows me to give pets a lot of attention throughout the day. Your dog will not be left alone for long stretches while I’m at work. I’m able to take multiple walks throughout the day, accommodate different potty schedules, give medications or additional care when needed, and adjust my routine around your dog’s normal schedule. I’m also very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times and will do my best to make things as easy and convenient as possible for you. I have an elevator and potty area in my building so no need for stairs/going far! I want every dog to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while they’re with me. My dog is extremely friendly and would love to keep them company, but I’m also happy to give dogs their own space and alone time whenever they need it. I’m able to completely separate a dog if needed and care for them that way! I’m very attentive to each dog’s personality, routine, and individual needs, including medications, dietary restrictions, anxiety, or other special care. Dogs are welcome on the couch and in my bed, and since I work from home, they’ll get plenty of attention, supervision, and love throughout the day. I’m willing to send photo updates throughout the stay, usually one update every 4-5 hours, so you can feel at ease knowing everything is going okay!

“This was our 1st time using Rover. 5 stars!! Hanna did a fantastic job watching our furry son, Oliver. She went above and beyond with her service. We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Hanna. Oliver loves her too!! Thank you so much Hanna. We really appreciate you.”

“I would highly recommend Kelsey to care for your pets! She is extremely thoughtful in her care and went above and beyond, playing, and making sure my two cats were happy and loved while I was away. She provided photos and always kept us updated, so I had complete peace of mine while I was out of town. She is communicative, and was so caring with our cats!”

About: As the owner of a young (crazy) German Shepherd, I personally understand that high-energy and working-breed dogs greatly benefit from lots of physical activity, mental engagement, and confident care. I also understand how particular you may be about the person caring for your dog, because I feel the same way about mine. This is why I have a high standard of care for the dogs I take care of, and I pride myself on being dependable, observant, and attentive to their safety. I am especially comfortable with large, energetic dogs, but I’m happy to care for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I offer walks/runs and drop-ins tailored to each dog’s energy level, personality, routine, and needs. I am available all day on Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. I would love to see your pup routinely, but I also accept same-day bookings on these days! My availability on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays is limited to early mornings, which will need to be scheduled the day before at the latest! Your pet’s safety and your trust are my top priorities. If you so choose, I would love to have a meet-and-greet before our first booking, but this is not required! During walks, I stay attentive to our surroundings and provide extra space from unfamiliar dogs, wildlife, traffic, or anything else that could make your dog uncomfortable or overly excited. I will never allow your dog off leash or introduce them to another animal. Living in Florida, I always monitor the weather, pavement temperature, and your dog’s behavior and will adjust the intensity of our activity accordingly. For drop-ins, I will carefully follow all feeding, medication, potty, play, and home-security instructions. I’ll also send lots of photos and a detailed update after each visit so you know how your pet is doing!

“Meg watched our cat Winnie while we were out of town and did a marvelous job! Winnie loved Meg and was very energetic and social when Meg came to visit! Meg was awesome to communicate with as well and helped given Winnie the interaction she needed while my wife and I were gone out of town!”

“Kendra is amazing! We have 4 cats and she did a wonderful job caring for them while we were out of town for a week. We got dozens of photos daily and it was so nice to see that they were being cared for in real time. One of our cats requires daily medicine and she found the trick to getting them to take their pill - which has been a game changer for us! Going out of town is stressful, especially with pets that you have to leave behind. But now that we have Kendra, it’s one less thing to worry about. We will definitely be using Kendra again to care for our pets!”

Lindsay B.

“Salina was amazing with Tarzan! She followed all my instructions, brought my packages in, and loved on my sweet boy. Thank you Salina for everything!! The best there is”

Cristina M.

“Always a reliable choice. Goes above and beyond. I never have to worry knowing Jordan is taking care of my Olive ☺️ absolutely recommend if she’s not already all booked up!”

Greydon G.

“Addison was so sweet and fast with her responses. She arrived on time and followed instructions thoroughly, & although my girl has a lot of anxiety she was calm and comfortable enough to go for a short walk with her. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy!”

“Kelsey was so great! She is always quick to respond and is so sweet. My cat was so happy when I got home, I’m glad to know she had great company while I was away. I would recommend Kelsey to anyone!”

Grace W.

“Daphne was fantastic and kept us up to date on our dog while we were gone! We even had a vase of flowers that somehow got spilt while we were gone and she cleaned all the water up without even saying anything to us. Thank you so much!!!”

Philip A.

“Iuliia goes above and beyond for you and your pet. She is sweet and easy to work with. Thank you for taking care of Lalo during my birthday trip. You made me feel at ease.”

Marisol T.

“Oh my gosh Jenna was absolutely amazing! She took such good care of my cat Tiki, my cat was going through a medical situation throughout the time Jenna was watching her and she handled it so well and I came back from vacation to a much healthier cat! I’m so impressed by her communication and tender care towards my cat. I will hire her again in a heartbeat and recommend her to anybody!”

About: I am currently a college student in Tampa and have had dogs all growing up.I've walked dogs ranging from 15-100lbs and love all dogs! I love to interact with dogs and have walked several dogs over the years! I am a college student home for summer break so I am very available! I would prefer to work evenings but am open to whatever works best for you and your pet. I have had dogs growing up and know what its like to deal with all types of dogs. I have several toys and take my dogs on walks frequently whether it be around the neighborhood or to the dog park to interact with other dogs!
