Pet Sitting Hernando Beach

About: I’ve grown up around pets my whole life, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I’ve regularly watched my friends’ dogs and recently pet sat for my mom’s client for 4 days, where I made sure their pet was safe, comfortable, fed, and well cared for. I’m patient, responsible, and very attentive to animals’ needs. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. 🐾❤️ I currently work at Amazon and I do night shifts 1am-11:50am Friday-Monday and my Off days would be Tuesday -Thursday would also be available Friday-Monday after 1pm I treat every pet like they’re my own! I make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, get plenty of playtime and attention, and stick to their normal routine. I love giving pets lots of love and making sure they feel comfortable and safe while their owner is away. I’ll always follow the owner’s instructions and make sure their fur baby is happy and well taken care of.

About: I've volunteered at a variety of animal shelters in Hillsborough/Pasco county walking dogs of all different sizes, shapes, and conditions. I really enjoying being outside with the animals and getting to experience all the different types of personalities dogs have. I'm only free on the weekends since I work the weekdays. That allows me to spend all the required time with no distractions to take care of your pet(s). Currently I cannot take any pets into my home. However, I was raised well and understand common scene so I will always respect the homes of my clients

“Chris was wonderful! He took care of my dog at my home for 8 days. He showed up on time or early for every visit, stayed longer than required and did everything properly. My dog really likes him! I had to go out of town on short notice, and Chris came right over to meet us, and came back both morning and night to see her routine. He took very good pictures in the Rover app that reassured me that Bella was in good hands I highly recommend him!”

About: **We may have lost our fur babies, but we certainly haven't lost our love for dogs!** ❤️🐾 We're Mike and Charity, a husband-and-wife team who believe that dogs aren't *just pets.* They're family. They're our best friends, our loyal companions, our four-legged children, and sometimes, the very best part of a long, difficult day. For years, our home was filled with the sounds of wagging tails, happy paws, squeaky toys, sloppy kisses, and the unconditional love that only a dog can give. First, there was our beautiful Golden Retriever, **Ally**, who crossed the Rainbow Bridge in the spring of 2015. Then came our sweet yellow Labrador Retriever, **Izzy**, who blessed our lives with more than nine wonderful years of love, laughter, companionship, and unforgettable memories. We recently said our heartbreaking goodbye to Izzy in September 2026, and to say our hearts are still healing would be an understatement. **Our home is a little quieter these days. Our hearts are a little heavier. And there's a special kind of emptiness where four paws and a wagging tail used to be.** While we're not quite ready to welcome another dog into our family permanently, we know one thing for certain: **We still have an enormous amount of love to give.** And that's why we're here! We would be absolutely delighted to welcome your precious doggo into our home, even if it's just for a little while. Whether you're heading out of town, taking a vacation, or simply need someone you can trust to love and care for your furry family member, we'd be honored to help. We're not looking at this as simply pet sitting. We're looking at it as an opportunity to share the love that Ally and Izzy taught us so much about. **When your dog stays with us, they're not just a guest. They're family.** That means plenty of cuddles, belly rubs, ear scratches, playtime, conversations (yes, we absolutely talk to dogs!), hugs, and an unlimited supply of nose boops. And if your pup prefers a quiet afternoon curled up beside us, that's perfectly wonderful, too. We understand how difficult it can be to leave your beloved companion in someone else's care. We've been those pet parents ourselves. We know the worry, the questions, and the desire to know that your baby is safe, comfortable, happy, and genuinely loved while you're away. **We'll treat your dog with the same tenderness, patience, attention, and affection that we gave Ally and Izzy.** We'll respect their routines, their personalities, their needs, and all the little quirks that make them uniquely yours. Perhaps the greatest gift our girls left us was the understanding that love doesn't end when we say goodbye. It simply finds new ways to be shared. And maybe, just maybe, having a few more happy paws, wet noses, and wagging tails visiting our home will help heal two hearts that miss their girls terribly. **Your dog gets a loving home away from home. We get the joy of sharing our love with another furry friend. And everybody gets unlimited boops!** 🐶❤️ We can't wait to meet your best friend! **With love, belly rubs, and a whole lot of puppy kisses,** **Mike & Charity** 🐾 *In loving memory of Ally & Izzy — forever our girls, forever in our hearts.* One of the wonderful things about our current schedules is that we have plenty of time to devote to your furry family member! Between the two of us, at least one of us is typically home throughout the day, so your pup will have lots of companionship, attention, and love. We're not the kind of pet parents who believe a dog should spend the day alone waiting for someone to come home. We enjoy having a four-legged companion nearby, whether we're relaxing, watching TV, working around the house, or heading outside for some fresh air. We'll follow your dog's regular feeding, walking, potty, and bedtime routines as closely as possible. Our primary time away together is typically Sunday mornings for church, and we'll always communicate about scheduling in advance. Your dog won't just fit into our routine. We'll happily make them part of our day! Having raised and loved two wonderful fur babies of our own, we understand that trusting someone else with your dog is a BIG deal. We don't take that responsibility lightly! Our home is a place where dogs are treated like family, not simply boarded as guests. We offer a comfortable, loving environment with plenty of attention, companionship, and affection. Since we're currently without pets of our own, your pup won't have to compete with our resident dogs for attention! We respect every dog's individual needs, personality, and comfort level. Some dogs want to cuddle right beside you, while others prefer their own quiet space. We're happy to accommodate both! We'll carefully follow your instructions regarding food, medications, walks, sleeping arrangements, and other special needs. If your dog is crate-trained and needs their crate for comfort or safety, we're happy to accommodate that with advance arrangements. We'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your precious pup is being loved and cared for. Our philosophy is simple: **We care for your dog the way we always wanted someone to care for ours.**

About: Ever since I was little my family has always owned some type of animal. We’ve owned 4 English bulldogs, a cat, a hamster and 2 ferrets. Now, I myself own a 1 year old miniature dachshund named Franklin. I love taking care of all animals and making sure they get the proper care they need and more. I currently work about 30 hours a week. My schedule isn’t the same every week so depending on what time and days I work, I set aside time to make sure I can come and take care of any pets that need it, whether it’s on my days off, or before or after work. In my clients homes all pets will have clean fresh water and will be fed given the directions of the owner. The pets will also get plenty of exercise whether it’s playing in their backyard or going on a walk. Along with playing inside with their toys. I also make sure that pets feel comfortable in their own home and will make sure they get lots of love and attention.

Now that I’m currently in retirement, I care for my son‘s new rescue puppy and various friends’ dogs as needed. Looking for some more dog time in my current new chapter of life. I’m currently retired and very flexible. I can be available every day of the week when I am not traveling. No travel scheduled until Christmas.

About: What sets me apart from a lot of others. is my years of working hands on with hundreds of dogs in my career as a dog professional. I also got to spend 11 years, loving and caring for 2 of the sweetest rescues anyone could have ever been blessed to have in their lives. My home sits empty now and is set up to accommodate your beloved furry friends. The majority of my experience is with dogs. I have been around cats but have never owned one. Working with and being around mans best friend has always been a rewarding passion of mine. Now that my 2 best friends have passed over the Rainbow bridge, I would like to share my home with some new furry friends for the part time. Although I'm not ready for another dog of my own, my heart is open to being a part time care taker of your best friend or friends. Over nights your dog will have run of the house and be welcomed and well looked after. I also have an Amazon "Echo Show" that is great for video drop in's to say hello to your friend. I'm still currently working as a professional pet groomer but I work from home outside in my old mobile grooming unit. I'm home all day on work days and available to give potty breaks. I do work 1 part time job away from home 1 day a week for 5 to 6 hours but I'm only 1 mile from home. Any other thing you would like to know, please ask. Thanks Maci I live alone in an older house, i dont have a back yard to offer but im always available for walking. In my years of working with dogs, their safety and security have been at the top of my priority list. After all, you're hiring me for this very thing, to care, look after and keep safe your best friends or friend. Your dog or dogs, if staying with me would be the only dogs with me. I would not feel comfortable having more than one pack at a time. While I'm really good with dogs, I'm no dog whisper.

About: I’ve been pet‑sitting for 10 years and teaching for 5, giving me the perfect blend of organization, patience, and reliability. Your pet gets attentive, consistent care every time. I offer structured routines, thoughtful updates, and a calm presence your pet can trust. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’ve spent my entire life caring for dogs, cats, and small pets. As a teacher, my workday gives me dependable openings in the early mornings and evenings, which makes drop‑ins easy before or after school. I also keep a flexible weekend schedule, allowing for longer visits or pets who need more consistent attention. Whether your pet is energetic, independent, or has a detailed routine, I make sure their care is timed reliably and handled with the same consistency I use at home. 🥰 I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and small pets my entire life, so I understand how important a safe, predictable environment is for every animal. I follow your pet’s routine closely (feeding, enrichment, medication, and comfort needs) and keep their space calm, clean, and consistent. Whether I’m caring for a playful dog, an independent cat, or a small pet like a rodent or aquatic animal, I provide gentle handling, clear communication, and reliable, detail‑oriented care. My goal is always to make your pet feel secure, respected, and well‑cared‑for in their own home. ❤️

About: I've had the privilege of handling and caring for different cats and dogs of various ages and temperaments. I have cared for feral cats, stray dogs, shelter surrenders, rescues, fosters, family and friend's pets. Over the years I've gained experience with the guidance of veterinary professionals, volunteers, and animal enthusiasts! As young as 11 years old I began to understand and hone in on my ability to empathically and responsibly care for other living animals. Now 24, I'm continuing to expand my knowledge and skills in the animal care world to give the best nurturing and love to all of the furbabies I can! I can enrich, play, feed + water and walk +/or hangout with your canine/feline pal(s) at the times avaliable in my schedule and remain open/flexible within those time frames Monday to Friday. I assist the animals I am care for by ensuring they are fed, watered, medicated, and engaged with at appropriate/scheduled times. They will have plenty of engagement with play, walks, cuddles/pets, treats/rewards, and/or simply relaxing around them (depending on the individual). I love being in nature and being able to take any animal able to outdoors with me (within the confines of their mobility and indepedent circumstances)(supervised of course). As for cats, if there is a catio area or the ability to go outside then I will take them out so they may enjoy that! I can provide safe and comfortable enrichment through games, toys, and puzzles you have to keep your pets feeling great during our time together.

“I have 2 cats name Ella and Kate Spade. Taylor was wonderful. She sent me pictures everyday and reported their activities. She dropped in everyday for 2 1/2 weeks without a single problem. Definitely will use her again on my next trip.”

I have also fostered many cats over the years. I’ve taken in litters of kittens and weaned them until adoption age. I also have experience with dogs and puppies. Im a nurse and make my own schedule. I can work around your schedule :) I take my animals for nightly walks in the pet stroller I own. I live in a very nice home owners association. There are ample side walks and grad for running. I have a cat and dog stroller too to take walks. I can provide a crate as well for overnight boarding.

About: I've cared for dogs since I was a little girl — it's just part of my life. I'm patient with nervous dogs, gentle with seniors, and I keep notes on each dog's routine and favorite things so nothing changes while you're away. My goal is simple: your dog feels safe, loved, and right at home. I'm Magela, and I'm home all day — your dog won't be left alone in a kennel. Morning walk, breakfast, play in our fenced yard, nap, cuddles, dinner. I'll follow your dog's routine, feeding times, and meds if they need them. It's a small, quiet home near Tampa Airport, not a big facility. And I'll send you pictures and updates so you know how they're doing. Your dog stays inside my home with me. I have a fully fenced backyard, and dogs are always supervised outside. I'll follow your feeding, walking, and bedtime routine, and send you pictures and updates so you can relax while you're away.

About: As a devoted dog lover and experienced sitter, what sets me apart is not just a job – it's a passion. I specialize in tailoring my services to cater to the unique needs of each furry friend. Whether it's expertly training playful puppies or providing gentle care for seniors, I bring a personalized touch to every stay. My commitment goes beyond basic pet care; it extends to creating a comfortable and enriching environment. With a background in training, I have the skills to guide energetic pups through positive reinforcement, shaping them into well-behaved companions. Additionally, I understand the importance of patience and tenderness when it comes to our beloved senior dogs, ensuring they receive the attention and support they deserve. Your pup isn't just a client – they become a part of my extended furry family. Choose me for a dog-sitting experience that goes beyond the ordinary, where your pet's well-being and happiness are my top priorities. I work some days either from 8:30-4 or 9-3, and then have Wednesdays off. I am able to tailor to your needs and am very flexible! I live an apartment who is very pet friendly and they have there own fenced in yard to take the dogs out at. I will keep the animal safe!

About: When it comes to pets I love it all, from running with a dog all around my neighborhood to sitting on the couch with a cat watching TV pets are a joy to be around! I've had dogs, cats, and a rabbit growing up plus have had friends and family ask me to watch their animals from time to time all of which included dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, and even pigs! When it comes to dogs I'm comfortable with every breed, from the smallest of Pomeranians to the biggest of wolf-dogs we play and go on extra long walks! I also have 4 years of veterinary experience so when it comes to emergency pet care I can always help. I can't wait to meet all the awesome new furry (and non-furry) babies! During the week I maintain a flexible retail job, this gives me the freedom to take on as few or as many bookings as I would like. I love being there for my clients! I have a cat named Blue, he is absolutely amazing! I tell people all the time God made him just for me! I have an automatic litter box, water fountain and feeder for him so he is perfectly comfortable with me being away on bookings. I have about 10 years experience with elderly animals, puppies, disabled pets, pets with special needs and even moms to be (human and pet)! Because of my experiences I take each day with each client very seriously and am sure to plan my days accordingly.
