Dog Sitting in Indian Rocks Beach

“Shaylin did drop in visits checking on our dog at your house for a long weekend. She was always on time and took pictures during her updates. We came home to a happy dog that was well taken care of.”

About: I’ve cared for many types of animals, I take time to learn their personality—social, shy, or “don’t look at me too long”—and I go at their pace while making sure they’re safe and happy. Hi! I'm Cass. I'm a local animal sitter and photographer with a passion for capturing life's special moments. As a local pet sitter, I offer reliable and compassionate care for your furry friends. I ensure your pets are happy, healthy, and well-cared for while you're away. From feeding and walking to providing companionship and administering medication, I tailor my services to meet each pet's unique needs :) I take time to understand each pet’s personality and what makes them comfortable. I go at their pace, build trust, and learn their preferences. After that, I tailor my care—whether that’s play, companionship, or space—so they feel safe and happy.

“Can’t say enough good things about our experiences with Caitlin- She’s great with our kitties and our pup, in a pinch, for a week when needed- Our babies always feel loved and we know they are in good hands!”

“Shannen was fabulous! She is reliable, friendly, & took very good care of our fur babies 3x a day. I would absolutely recommend Shannen to watch your pets.”

About: As my day job requires me to go to customers homes, I see lots of dogs everyday. I am comfortable with dogs of any size. While I don’t currently have dogs of my own due to space, I love visiting my friends who do and love meeting all the four legged friends in customers homes! I am a plumber so I work M-F every week. Although I don’t have a set time I’m off work each day, it usually ends up being between 4-5 pm. No matter what I will make it a priority to get to your babies! I am also free on weekends! I always keep a cat carrier in my car just in case of emergency and my suv provides ample space for larger dogs for emergencies or walks at the park or elsewhere. I always try and make animals comfortable around me by reading body language and following any boundaries they set.

About: Since a young age, I've always been an animal lover. I've always been especially good at caring for animals, and even training dogs. I trained my own first service dog starting at around age 14, and both of my dogs were even able to earn their AKC Canine Good Citizen certification at only a year old, thanks to all of my hard work and dedication. I also used to volunteer at Pinellas County Animal Services for a short time when I was 17 years old. I have a red nose Pit Bull and a 112 lb Lab (my dad takes care of them when I pet sit), and I have pet sat large and powerful dogs before, so I am experienced and comfortable with large and powerful dogs 🙂. I offer house sitting (pet sitting at your home), dog walking, and drop-in visits (at your home). NO breed, size, or age restrictions! I don't mind caring for intact pets, females in heat, cats, and even pets other than dogs and cats, such as hamsters, snakes, fish, birds, etc. However, I am personally not comfortable with caring for uncaged/free-roaming pet rats, uncaged/free-roaming pet mice, or any pet insects. I only offer dog walking and drop-in visits to clients who live within 2 miles from my home. Only bathing, ear cleaning, teeth brushing, nail trimming, and wrinkle cleaning (for certain breeds that require this) are able to be done. No actual grooming, sorry. I do not currently have any other form of work. Working with animals has been my ultimate dream for most of my life. I'm available to watch your furbabies any time. Your furbaby will be given plenty of love, and I will make sure to send you lots of pictures of your pet while you're away, and let you know how they're doing. I have no problem following clients' instructions for the care of their pet, and the more details you leave/write down for me, the better!

“Tina took us last minute and worked us into her schedule. she made our last minute trip to St. Petersburg Beach so good! Dogs were very happy to have her visit!”

About: Hi dear neighbor and pet lover! 🪴 My name is Lorena, but you can call me Loren, Im a 21 year old k9 handler and animal enthusiast. I have owned and kept a big variety of animals as companion since kid and I love to learn everyday how to make their lifes fuller and happier. As a young kid I developed deep passion for animals and took for myself all the responsibilities that they demanded from daily chores to more specific ones such as oral and injected medication, post surgery, senior care, newborn care, rehabilitation, training and care for special needs pets. I also would like to add that I worked as a vet assistant and kennel technician at a veterinary clinic what brought me a lot of experience! I would like to say that I just don't offer house-sitting bc I have animals on my own and don't like to leave them alone through the night. [✨] What I have learned from all those years? That's a really good question and something that I think make the difference when you're looking for someone to take care of your pet, especially because they're part of your family and we always want them well, happy and enjoying life as they deserve! — With all these years I have learned a lot of safety and emergency procedures, one of them is CPR in dogs and cats independently of their size or breed! This is really important because we never know when we gonna need it. I also have skills to handle first aid and report abnormal behaviors since I did study Animal Behavior an Body Language for dogs and cats as well as worked with animals daily when operating in the veterinarian field. Also as a belgian malinois owner and with the knowledge I accumulated from past animal jobs and my own pets I can say that I'm able to handle any kind of temperament from sweet couch potatoes to sassy and feisty pets! [🧺] Being a pet owner myself I know that nobody enjoy coming home to a dirty and unorganized house. Enjoy your vacation and events with the peace of mind that a comfortable house and happy animals are waiting for you! — I'll make sure to let everything organized, clean and smelling amazing for when you come back because when Im visiting not just your pets are important to me but maintain the your place clean is also my responsibility! [Extra Area] Some pets I already owned or took care: • All sizes, age and energy level dogs! (belgian malinois, pit bull, yorkie, catahoula, doodle, heeler mix, catahoula pure and mix, labrador, shitzu, stafford shire, rottweiler, dachshund, border collie, poodle and mutts - special needs and seniors included) • All sizes and age cats! (quarantine, strays, newborns, bottle feeding, kittens, adults, seniors and special needs) • Fishes, birds, spiders, mantids, rodents almost all kinds, isopods, chickens, horses, non-venomous snakes such as ball python and corn snake, mourning geckos and ferrets. I'm currently switching careers so I have a lot of time available! Every owner has it's own schedule with their animals and I would love to help you maintain it as best as I can since some pets are really sensible when it comes to routine/time changes. I'll always follow the owners instructions on how they want me to do my tasks while taking care of their pets, handling everything with excellence and doing everything to keep your house away from accidents, mess and chaos — we know some dogs love to destroy their owners treasures. I have experience with reactive and antisocial dogs, so if your furry friend is insecure but still needing to go out for walk I'll follow your instructions and make sure that your dog have a good time even if he struggles with behavior or emotions, all dogs deserve love, respect and a good life! Im always happy to chat and send you photos when making your pet company! I can also facetime you for some good talk with your loved baby. Safety is always my first priority! 🚨

“Karen has been wonderful with my dog! She’s very reliable and is very thoughtful! She sees packages at my door and brings it in for me. My dog is super happy when I get home!”

About: I grew up as an animal girl, we always had at least one dog at a time. I watched our neighbors dogs and farm animals growing up My work days are short and my schedule is flexible. Dogs are free to roam when I’m gone if trained or I’m happy to crate them if needed. Let me know where they sleep and I’m happy to arrange. My home is fully pet-friendly with trash in a closet and nothing reachable for them to get into. Nothing toxic in the house and all furniture is pet-friendly. I also live right next to a trail for long walks off the hot pavement.

About: I've been around animals my whole life and genuinely love caring for them. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels, including puppies who need extra patience and attention as well as senior dogs who require a gentler approach. I'm comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic medications, walks, playtime, and providing plenty of companionship. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet as if they were my own. I prioritize communication with pet parents by providing regular updates, photos, and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both you and your pet and make sure they receive the same love and attention they're used to at home. I am currently working part-time but looking for a way to help out some people in the area with their furry friends! Available almost everyday. I prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. In clients’ homes, I follow all care instructions closely, maintain a clean environment, and provide plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pets are in good hands.

“My girls can take a little time to warm up to new people, but they liked Rachel almost immediately! She is quick to respond and sends pictures and updates. I can’t say enough about how happy I am to have found her!”

“Wonderful pet sitter! Took outstanding care of our precious little girl (cat), spent lots of time bonding and nurturing our Kikki, and was willing to help out with misc. actions while visiting the home (bring packages in from porch etc). Truly an outstanding pet sitter and highly recommend her for love and care for your pet!”

Kyle K.

“Thank you!!!”

“Astra has been amazing with our new baby. He’s a puppy and needs so much attention. She came to our house on time and made sure our puppy was well fed and went to the restroom. She played with him and left us feeling so comfortable while away on business. I would definitely recommend Astra and can’t wait to book her again. Bradford has the best visits with Astra and looked forward to seeing her.”

“Super nice! :)”

About: I stand out because I treat every dog like my own. I learn their quirks, stick to their exact routine, and keep you updated with photos so you’re never left wondering. With reliable communication and genuine love for animals, you come home to a calm, happy pup who had a great day. As a cat owner, I fit care into my day in small, easy chunks. My mornings are 10-15 minutes to feed, refresh water, and scoop the litter while my coffee brews. Evenings take about 15-20 minutes for dinner, a second scoop, and playtime — my cat is most active at dusk, so a quick wand-toy session helps her settle for the night. Weekly tasks like deep-cleaning the box or brushing take me 30 minutes total. Once I tied it to habits I already had, it became routine and keeps my cat calm and happy. I care for my pets by keeping their routine simple and consistent. Mornings are food, fresh water, and quick clean-up. Evenings are dinner, play or walks, and checking that everyone’s settled. I stick to their schedules, handle meds when needed, and stay on top of vet care so they stay healthy and happy.

About: After the loss of my GSD of 10 years, I wanted to still be around pets, but for a while wasn’t ready to bring one home. I then discovered Rover/the need for pet-care and decided to get involved as a second job. I ensure to stay in close contact with my clients, sending updates as well as pictures daily. Additionally, I like to tidy up around the house by taking out trash, vacuuming, washing food/water bowls, and brining in the mail during your booking. I have experience mostly with larger breed dogs (Rotties, GSD, GSP, Huskies, Great Pyrenees, as well as cats/kittens (I have 2 of my own that I adore!). Please note, pets must be well-mannered and not have any fecal parasites before a booking is confirmed. Thank you for considering me in your search for your fur baby’s pet care. I’m currently working full-time, but I’m available after 4:30pm weekdays, and anytime during the weekends. I enjoy walks and doing things after work so I am excited to be able to incorporate this into my week. In your home I will care for your pets by ensuring it’s needs are met and exceeded, whether it be walks, playing, feeding, cleaning litter box, or just giving your fur baby some extra love and company.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, for a long time. I’m great with puppies, adolescent, and senior dogs. Daisy my companion and best friend for 12 years crossed the rainbow bridge last year. Since then I’ve taken to watching others dogs, until I’m ready to adopt again. I work 8:30a-5p most days, so I can be available before work, after work and weekends. I’m available for staying in your home or drop in visits. I can take your dog out on a leash or go out with them in the backyard. I can make sure they are crated when I leave if necessary.

“She was great! She was absolutely responsive and prompt. Everything I was looking for when I was unable to be home for my dog.”
