“Amazing! I have never used a dog sitter before so I was nervous going into it. Courtney came over before hand to meet the pups and I felt completely comfortable being out of town without worrying about my fur babies. I am very thankful for that”


“I have to say that I am not the type to leave reviews, although Kyle was awesome with my Layla and our turtle (he didn’t have to and anyway he took care of him). We recommend him 100% and we will be calling him again, definitely!!!”


“My dogs just love when Sarah stops by to check on them. Sarah is very caring and loving to both dogs. She makes sure they have plenty of food, water, treats and attention! Always punctual.”


About: I’ve taken cared of my neighbors , family , and friends pets. I love animals of any kind. I will gladly take care of them with what you want. Give me instructions and I’ll do it. I’m willing to do evening walks after 5:30pm on weekdays if anyone needs I know it’s not set on my calendar. I also love photography so if you’re wanting me to take a couple of pictures for you, I sure can do that. I need to practice so the photos would be free of charge :) I currently work at Merritt Animal Clinic in Eustis from 8 am to 5pm on weekdays except Thursdays and weekends. I can do walks after 5:30 on weekdays but anytime on Thursdays and weekends if I’m not too busy. I will be happy working with your fur babies 😁 I have a male dog. I cuddle with Toby everyday. My yard is fenced and they are watched 24/7. I will wrestle and play with dogs bigger than me as if I’m a dog. Cats are amazing to lay with as well. I only now have a Chihuahua and he’s very needy so any needy animal won’t be a problem for me at all. I love you snuggle up and play with the pets.

About: I have successfully run an animal farm and currently volunteer at the animal shelter. I love animals! I have had dogs, cats, goats, cows, pigs, chickens, and fish. I will care for your pet as my own animals! I will care for your pet as my own and your pet will be my top priority! I have run my own business and am great at scheduling as well as communication. I do not have a fenced yard so at my home your pet will always be walked with a leash. If I am in your home I will ensure that I will follow your exact instructions.

About: I've been the veterinary industry for over 25 years. My experiences include private practice, mobile shot clinic and specialty hospitals. My experience with animals is more than just health, it is loving and caring for them like if they were my own. I'm at home my schedule is super flexible I can make multiple visits if needed for play and walks. I am available on the weekends as well. My community is pretty safe and extremely pet friendly. We can just hang out at home with several walks or we can make new friends at the dog park.

“Emily was really good! I had an issue with my previous sitter and needed someone else to come check on my pets while I was already on vacation and she picked it up last minute and I appreciate it so much!”


“Steffanie did a wonderful job! She was great communicating with and sent me photos of my fur babies to ease my mind! My dogs loved her and I will definitely hire her again!! :) thank you so much Steffanie!!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was seven years old and have a huge love for them. I guess it was a natural care and love within me ever since I was little. It’s their world and we are just living it!! I am currently a student with time on my hands. I have Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays free to help out with your fur babies. I will try my very best to accommodate you and your schedule as well. I will make sure to clean after the pets, and make sure they have everything they need for when you come back. I can send you pictures and video and let you know how everything is going. I know I would like updates on my dog.

About: Experience with older dogs and special needs dogs. Have owned two toy poodles and currently own a small mix breed 9-year-old dog. Have experience caring for a dog who lost his sight. Very flexible, semi-retired. Available early in the morning and almost anytime during the day, especially Monday-Friday. Willing to work around your schedule and what works best for you. I have a large fenced in yard which is great for playing and exercise, and a small breed 9-year-old dog. Very dog friendly environment with privacy.

“Rachel was fantastic! She took excellent care of my dog and kept me updated with photos. It's clear that she is an animal lover; she took her time and never rushed. I didn't have to worry about anything while I was away. My dog was happy and well cared for, and I will definitely be using her services again!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs as small as chihuahuas up to the size of pit bulls. All of them being at least 2-6+ years of age. I love being able to help in any way that I can especially when it comes to your furry family! Fri - Sun. I am flexible on the weekends if needed. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you need to change times, I will do my best to work with you. Thank you. I’m open to whatever makes you comfortable! I would love to do a meet and great prior if needed. You have my full trust that I am only there to care for your furry friend! Walking is great for their health and growing. I’ve got your tail covered :)

“First time using Lee’s services and she did a fantastic job taking care of our cat. She provided twice a day visits in a timely fashion - adjusting the times to fit in with our cat’s daily schedule. In addition Lee sent us daily updates, pictures and left our home tidy. I highly recommend Lee and will use her services again.”


“Margaux was exceptional with drop in service over the Christmas period. She was totally flexible and willing to take Fruitloop on very last minute. She provided constant updates and reassurance. She provided multiple photos and cared/loved Fruitloop as if he were her own. Thank you Margaux!”


About: I have spent my entire life caring for animals! My mom was a breeder so I helped take care of over 20 dogs at a time. I grew up with horses, chickens, birds, cats and dogs. I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages from new born to senior. I’ve house trained puppies many times and know how important schedules are. I have administered oral medications. I used to pet sit when I was younger for all of my neighbors and since having my child this year I have stepped back from work and have a more open schedule to do what I love again. I have two labs who are super loving but we do separate our animals from our clients if necessary. Our house has a separate furnished room with its own exit so we can separate completely. I have a love for ALL animals and will treat your pets like family no matter was species! Currently I am working part time 3 days a week and have weekends available . I am available after 3 on week days when my boyfriend gets home from work. I am home all day and until 4 on the days I work. My boyfriend is home every evening as well. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs to keep your dogs entertained. If they are not dog friendly no problem, please let me know and we will separate all dogs! We can go on walks if that is your dogs preference! I will keep your pets schedule the same as if you were there.
