Dog Sitting Indian Rocks Beach

“Caitlyn was excellent! We were vacationing in the area and in need of someone to check in on our dog a few times when we were out. She agreed to come for a meet and greet, was responsive, attentive to our needs and took great care of our dog. I wish she lived close to our home so we could use her regularly! I would definitely recommend her and use her again.”

About: Dogs, cats, lizards, birds & fish I have had them all. I have always loved animals sometimes even more than people! I have cared for many friends and neighbors, cats, and dogs, and does a recent transplant to Florida. I would love to care for your pets as well. I currently have three Ragdolls of my own and recently lost my baby of 18 years an American Eskimo. I have extensive experience with both cats and dogs as well as other animals provide excellent care at any stage of life. Pet will never know you were gone! Please contact me with any questions. I currently make my own schedule, so I have plenty of time to play with your fur babies! I can provide 2 to 3 drop ins a day or stay in your home. I have vast experience with cats & dogs of every age so no matter what age your fur baby is I can adapt to their needs.

About: 🐾 Wagging Tails, Happy Hearts, Peace of Mind While You're Apart 🐾 I have a genuine connection with animals and a love for them that is difficult to put into words. From as far back as I can remember, I've been drawn to nature and animals of all kinds—big and small. Caring for animals isn't just something I do; it's a lifelong passion that has always been a part of who I am. Throughout my life, I've rescued and cared for countless animals and have a natural ability to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I believe pet care goes beyond meeting basic physical needs. My goal is to provide companionship, enrichment, comfort, and an overall sense of well-being so your pets feel happy, secure, and cared for while you're away. Whether your furry family members are staying with me or I'm caring for them in the comfort of your home, they will be treated with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own pets. I understand how difficult it can be to trust someone else with your beloved companions. Every pet has their own unique personality, routines, quirks, and preferences, and I take the time to learn and respect those details. Maintaining their familiar routines helps keep them comfortable, stress-free, and happy while you're away, giving you peace of mind knowing they're in caring and capable hands. **Specialized Care & Experience** I have experience caring for pets with a wide variety of unique needs and personalities. Whether your pet is shy, reactive, unsocialized, elderly, very young, disabled, recovering from illness or injury, or simply has their own special routines and quirks, I provide patient, individualized care tailored to their comfort and well-being. My experience includes: • Senior (geriatric) pet care • Puppy and kitten (pediatric) care • Special-needs and disabled pets • Reactive, fearful, or unsocialized animals • Medication administration (oral, topical, and other routine medications) • Post-surgical and recovery support • Mobility assistance and accommodations • Maintaining specialized feeding, exercise, and behavioral routines I understand that every pet is unique. I take the time to learn their preferences, triggers, habits, and routines so they feel safe, secure, and understood while you're away. ❤️ Pet care is my primary focus this summer, giving me the flexibility to accommodate a wide range of schedules and care needs. I understand how important consistency and routine are, so I work to ensure their care fits seamlessly into their normal day. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, multiple daily visits, medication, specialized attention, or full day/overnight sitting, I have the availability to provide dependable, personalized care and plenty of attention while you're away. I strive to provide a safe, comfortable, and low-stress environment that feels as close to your pet's normal routine as possible. In my home, pets have access to a securely fenced backyard with plenty of shade for supervised outdoor time. I share my home with one senior dog and three cats who are accustomed to other animals. Depending on your preferences and your pet's personality, they can socialize with my pets or be kept completely separate. I understand that not every animal enjoys company, and I'm happy to accommodate whatever makes them most comfortable. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the same respect I would my own. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication routines, exercise needs, and any special instructions to help maintain consistency and reduce stress while you're away. I also respect your home, belongings, privacy, and household routines, ensuring both you and your pets feel comfortable and secure. My goal is always to provide attentive, personalized care so your pets feel safe, happy, and loved whether they're staying with me or remaining in the comfort of their own home.

About: I currently volunteer at two veterinary clinics, where I work alongside veterinary professionals and gain experience handling animals, observing treatments, and supporting patient care. I am also enrolled in a Veterinary Assistant program while completing my undergraduate studies in Biology and Animal Science on a Pre-Veterinary track. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, companionship while you're away, or extra patience and attention, I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in capable, compassionate hands. My schedule varies due to my veterinary experience and education. I volunteer at a veterinary clinic on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:00 AM–5:00 PM. On Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, I shadow at another veterinary clinic, though my hours may vary. Outside of these commitments, I am available for pet care and will do my best to accommodate your scheduling needs. Please feel free to reach out with specific dates and times so I can confirm my availability. In my home, pets are treated as family members and receive attentive, individualized care. I have experience training my Golden Retriever to stay safely within our yard using a GPS/geofence system and positive reinforcement. I also care for my senior dog, who has epilepsy, by managing her daily medications, monitoring her condition, and administering emergency medication when needed. Because of these experiences, I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and close observation. Whether a pet is energetic and active or requires special medical attention, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible.

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 temperament test 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 108 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!

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: 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.

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.

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!).

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.
