Dog Sitting in Havana

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is a lifelong bond with animals and years of hands-on experience that began when I was just 4 years old. I grew up living with my grandfather, who always had five dogs at a time. Being surrounded by animals from such a young age taught me the importance of consistent, compassionate care. Over the years, I’ve been trusted by family, friends, and neighbors to care for their pets, and I treat every animal like part of the family. When my parents gifted me my own puppy, I took formal puppy training classes to better understand behavior and effective training techniques—skills I still use with every dog I care for. Beyond puppy care, I have extensive experience with senior and special needs dogs. I helped care for my grandfather’s dog who was blind, deaf, and had a tumor, making sure he felt safe, loved, and comfortable every day. Currently, I’m caring for my own senior dog who has cancer. I manage her treatment, including chemotherapy appointments and administering medication, with patience and dedication. This experience has deepened my ability to care for aging or ill pets with empathy and attentiveness. Whether it’s basic training, special medical care, or just keeping them company, I’m passionate about making sure every pet feels at home, safe, and well cared for. I’m currently waiting to start college and will be home for the next month, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m more than happy to adjust my routine to fit your pet’s needs—whether that means walks, playtime, feedings, or just keeping them company. Your pet’s comfort and care are my top priority, and I’ll work with you to make sure they get exactly the attention they need while you’re away. When caring for pets—whether in my home or a client’s—I make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for at all times. I'm highly attentive and have no problem going the extra mile, whether that means long walks, park visits, beach outings, or just lots of playtime and companionship. If caring for pets in my home, I offer a secure and comfortable environment. I have a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play and live in a neighborhood with a dog park just minutes away. I’m happy to take dogs on walks, jogs, or runs, and I’m always ready for a good game of tug-of-war or fetch. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, you can count on me to be reliable, punctual (I aim to arrive early), and respectful of your space. I can quickly get to your home in case of emergencies and will follow any specific instructions you provide. I'm comfortable with crate training and can easily manage routines around feeding, medication, or special care. No matter the location, my goal is to ensure your pets feel happy, safe, and cared for 24/7.

“Lauren is awesome! She is always quick to respond, reliably shows up and does a great job with my pup. I would definitely recommend her!”

About: I’ve had and been around many dogs through my childhood, including puppies we cared for. Each dog has a different personality that I look forward to meeting every time. I would like another job to help pay bills and possibly switch over to full time. I work during the day but can stop by in the morning and afternoons. Just before bed is possible as well, but I put in 2 visits per day I respect peoples privacy and personal belongings. My goal is to take care of your pet for however long they need and get out, no loitering.

About: I have loved animals since being raised with big dogs of my own. I trained different animals in multiple basic demands, cared for elder dogs and de-escalated multiple fights between dogs. I have experience in caring for animals including dogs, cats, pigs, rats, and rabbits. I will always but an animals safety before my own. I am currently doing school online so I will have plenty of time to watch and care for your pets. I talk daily walks myself that I can gladly take your dog on and I don't go out a lot so your pet won't be left alone. I currently only have a rabbit. I play with, feed, and change her water daily. She is allowed to roam the apartment during the day if there are no other pets around.

“Isabella did a great job watching Alvin. Definitely would book again, she took many pictures/videos and was very good at giving us updates. Alvin really enjoyed her company!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs sense I was 10, I’ve gone to numerous dog training camps, I’ve worked at two vets and have taken care and own dogs and cats myself. I work part time and in school part time but I have a lot of flexibility with my day and always take priority over animals as I’m going to school to be a vet. I have a fenced in yard, and love going on walks with dogs, and making sure they have enough water afterwards, i love having a schedule when it comes to house sitting and making sure everything is accurate.

“Jennifer took excellent care of my 2 dogs while I was away. I had her drop by my house twice a day to spend time with them and check on them. She sent me daily pictures and kept me updated on how they were doing. I am sure my dogs appreciated her care and attention and the freedom to be in their normal space instead of being in a kennel. My larger dog has barrier aggression and used to have separation anxiety, so really hates to be crated or locked up in a room or cage. Jennifer even hand fed my youngest dog sometimes.”

“Andrew did a wonderful job caring for our cat while we were out of town! Andrew was extremely thorough and sent us great pictures and updates every day. We will definitely be using him again in the future!”

About: I have taken care of all sorts of animals since I was a child. I grew up with dogs my entire life and when I turned 23 I adopted a cat who is now 8 years old. I love all animals and I always prioritize their needs over my own. I can't wait to meet your animal! I am a DJ and music producer, so my hours are extremely flexible. I travel a couple of weekends a month, but otherwise, I am based in Tallahassee full-time. I understand that inviting a stranger into your home can be a daunting experience, so I aspire to make clients as comfortable as possible throughout all interactions. I am happy to do a drop-by to meet before we begin, and I will follow all pet-owner instructions in detail throughout our work together.

“Aundrea met our pups and everyone go along instantly. She followed our care instruction during her drop in visits, sent us pictures, and let is know how each of the pups looked and behaved. We were happy to have Aundrea watch our pups!”

About: I’ve lived with and cared for Great Danes for as long as I can remember. I volunteer at Gulf Coast Humane Society frequently and love dogs and cats of all kinds! I am currently a student at Florida State, but I am home for the summer which means that I have plenty of availability for your pets! I have a Great Dane named Zane at home and a cat named Felix. I walk and feed Zane regularly, and handle Felix’s food and litter.

About: As retirees, Steven and I have reached a point in our lives where we have the time and freedom to pursue something we truly love...caring for our furry friends! We have 2 great guys of our own, Mac and Zac! Our flexible schedules have afforded us plenty of time to devote to those 2, providing them with the absolute best loving and safe home environment. In fact, we think they think we retired just for them! They have never been happier. And we know your pet (s) will love being with us too. We absolutely hated when we had to choose to lodge our guys in an impersonal setting, such as a commercial kennel. So we decided to "pay it forward" and offer others a much better alternative for their pets. Not to mention, the peace of mind of knowing that your pets are in the best of care. So whether it's walks, playtime or just good company, we are here to help! Being retired affords us the opportunity to be home daily. Therefore, our services are available 7 days a week. We love being outdoors but more than anything, we love pets! We've found that dogs have a sense of routine. Changes in that routine can be over-stimulating. Therefore, the preferred setting for dogs is to be either in their own homes or in a more personal home-like setting. That's why our services are so vital. Theirs definitely NO PLACE LIKE HOME (or HOME-LIKE) . We offer spacious climate controlled accommodations which include: 1. 2 - Generous size sleeping suite with room to move around and relax comfortably. 2. Comfy and clean doggie beds or you can choose to bring your own. 3. Individual feeding station which includes filtrated water dispensers 4. Personal Care - Individualized care catering to dog's unique needs and preferences

“Gabbie was absolutely amazing with my cat Louis. She provided great summaries at the end of her visit and such cute photos. She exceeded everything I asked of her and she was very sweet with anything I needed. Definitely recommend!!”

About: I love animals and I've taken care of them throughout my life; both dogs and cats, kittens and puppies to seniors. Since I was a child my family and I have had 9 cats and 5 dogs in total, and I was active in their caretaking from a very young age. I helped my mom train all our dogs, from a German Shepard to a Maltese mix, so training is not a problem! I also volunteered at animal shelters during high school over the summers, and gained valuable experience during that time. I currently only have one cat, but only due to renter limitations, if I could I'd definitely have more! Your animals comfort and happiness is my top priority, and I'll make sure to keep them entertained and safe while they're with me, as if they were my own. I'm only working flex part-time right now so I have a lot of availability currently. I love going on walks out in nature already, so what could be better than going with a furry friend? Animals have always been a big part of my life and I'd like to continue that trend. I'd like for your pet to be as comfortable as possible, so if there are any routines, specific treats, toys, etc. that they prefer please let me know and I'll be sure to take note of it all. I'd also have no problem watering plants or other household tasks while housesitting, just let me know ahead of time.

“David did a great job with my cats while we were gone. My cat needed medicine each morning and David made sure it gone done! He even came to our house beforehand and learned about what to do. Thanks David!”

“Harmony was great with Bertie and went out of her way to keep me updated. She also sent the cutest pictures! I'm happily keeping Harmony in mind for the next time I need someone to stop in to help with my little loved one”

About: I have 3 dogs of my own and love them like they are my children! I also have lots of experience being a dog walker including walking my own dogs and other peoples dogs and I have experience pet sitting for my friends and family. I am excited to be able to use my experience to help others! I currently have a full-time job, but since I work from home, I am able to do doggy daycare and check on pets at lunch. For doggy daycare, I can do any day, and for checking in at lunch, I can do Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. My weekends are pretty open for dog walking and pet sitting at any time! My full time job is 8-5 Monday-Friday, but it is work from home so I have that flexibility of doing doggy daycare. I have a fenced yard and 3 small dogs that can keep your dog company! I also have plenty of dog toys and a crate if your dog is crate trained so you wouldn’t have to bring your own!
