Pet Sitting Island Grove

About: I’ve been taking care of Dogs since I was 8 different types of dogs. This allowed me to understand different types of dog behavior. It's been a true passion of mine to take care of dogs. I'm currently free as of now. I have time to house sit just about anytime of the week whether it's a weekend or a weekday at any time scheduled. I have a fenced-in yard that sits around 2 acres which allows bigger or smaller dogs to be able to get their Exercise or space needed to play.

“Kimberly was absolutely amazing with Ace! She went above and beyond to keep us informed and he was so happy and comfortable with her. We will absolutely reach out to her next time we leave town.”

About: I have been caring for dogs since I was a teenager! I have ample experience with caring for senior dogs, giving walks, feeding, outdoor play, bathing, and nail clipping. I absolutely love all dogs, and I have experience with caring for big and small dogs alike! I am a graduate student at the University of Florida, so I have flexibility with my days to check in on your pets! I am open to visiting your home to care for your pet or bringing your pet into my own home to care for them! I do not travel much, so I largely have an open schedule. I will happily send you photos of your pets daily! I live in an apartment complex with ample courtyard space for dogs to walk and play. There is also a nearby dog park to take any dogs that I care for. I also have a lovely fenced in back porch that I often let my cat sit outside on.

About: I have a 1 year old golden doodle and her name is Hatti. Dogs and cats always love my energy around them because they can sense it. Different dogs/cats have different levels of need for food/attention/affection. I pay close attention to their behavior and mental status and make sure they are well taken care of. I’m a master’s student. My classes are mostly on Wednesdays this semester. I have plenty of time to take care of the cute little angles. My dog is a well-trained spoiled high-maintenance girl. She has to have me be there when I feed her and she makes sure I have the leash in my hand when we walk. I love that she likes my attention and affection so much.

About: Pets are a huge part of my life. I currently have a dog named Ava and a cat named pistol. I have had multiple pets throughout my life. I enjoy getting to spend time with other anaimals as well. I am big on “doggy manners” and am good at teaching them to your furry friend. During my visits, I will walk, play and spend time with your dog/cat. I have walked many dogs, and enjoy connecting with them all. I’m available in the mornings and afternoons, and sometimes in the middle of day depending on the day of the week. I look forward to getting to know your furry companion 🤍🤎 Im currently a stay at home mom. My child attends school from 8-3. I am a student; but like to take a few breaks a day to go out. I have a fenced in yard. We spray our yard for ticks and other mites to prevent them, and regularly take our animals to the vet.

About: I have always been around animals since I was little varying from small dogs to big dogs and to cats. I’ve always done my best to care and love each of those animals so they feel loved and cared for. I’m currently in cosmetology school part time and working but depending on how this goes I would love to do this more I attend school tue-Thursday 4pm-7:30pm and Saturday 9:30am-5:00pm but I would love to squeeze in anything available! I treat them as my own so I will love them and take care of them 1000% as I would my own as every animal deserves the best care and love to make them feel comfortable especially when their best friend(s) or parents are away or just need a little potty break.

“I highly recommend Anthony! He was reliable and followed my two Huskies' dinner routine exactly as requested. Seeing the photos he sent—and watching how excited the dogs were to see him on my home camera—gave me total peace of mind while I was away. He is great with big dogs!"”

About: I began house sitting in high school for close family friends and neighbors. The first family who trusted me had quite the crew — two birds, a turtle, two senior cats, a dog, and even a couple of fish. Caring for their pets, especially the cats, taught me early on how important consistency and attention to routines can be. Since then, I’ve cared for and walked many dogs while babysitting and nannying, both for short visits and overnight stays. I understand the level of detail it takes to help pets feel comfortable and to give owners peace of mind while they’re away. I also have experience caring for pets with medical needs. My own dog tore his ACL while I was in college, and for months I carried him up and down stairs while managing his recovery. He also had allergies that required daily medicated baths, a special diet, and multiple medications. He was clever enough to try to outsmart me when it came to pills, which taught me patience, creativity, and a sense of humor when caring for animals. I truly believe every pet has a unique personality. I approach pet care with attentiveness, patience, and playfulness so animals feel safe, understood, and well cared for. My goal is always happy pets and complete peace of mind for their owners. I work a full-time schedule during the week, but I’m happy to provide care before and after work and occasionally in the evenings depending on timing and location. With advance notice, I’m also happy to adjust my weekend schedule to fit your pet’s routine. I do my best to accommodate requests whenever possible. I treat my pets as family, and I have witnessed my family and friends care for pets as if they are a child. On days I couldn’t bring my dog along, I trusted the people watching him to do the same, and maybe even add a little extra love for missing his family.

“Hollie was so sweet to let my Bridgette out today and walk her. It was so nice to be able to trust someone with my dog. I knew that I didn't have to worry about anything today knowing that Hollie was going to be taking care of my Bridget.”

About: With over 40 years of experience caring for animals, I bring a calm, confident, and loving approach to every pet I meet. Big dogs don’t scare me—in fact, I adore them—and my background as a vet tech in an emergency clinic means I’m comfortable handling medical needs, including administering medications. I truly love all animals, and I talk to every dog, cat, or critter as if they were my own. Your pets will be in patient, capable, and genuinely caring hands with me. I can work from anywhere and I set my own hours so I'm available for any schedule that you and your pets need, even if it's just a visit. In your home, I care for your pets just like my own. Our cat sleeps with us, Tank is on the floor on my side is the bed. I talk to them like they're my best friends. 😊

“Courtney did a wonderful job with our kitty! We are very happy to have found someone so reliable. We will definitely have her come back!”

About: *I have been taking care of pets not only on a personal level for over 20 years but on a professional level as well for 10 years. I have prior experience as a veterinary technician assistant and can handle pets no matter what the situation may be. I have prior experience with senior pets or even pets with special needs. I of course have experience with pets that are full of energy and love to play. And we can't forget about the puppies who need help with socializing and potty training. I can also give baths, ear cleaning and nail trims as well just let me know. *All animals are unique in their own special way, they have things they like and things they do not like, while in my care I can promise that their care will be fitted to your fur babies needs while you are away. *I am always available to give your fur baby all the love and attention they need while you are away. I am available for drop ins, daycare, boarding just let me know the dates and times that you are needing and we can get it arranged. *I live in a house on a secluded 1.32 acres of land along with a large fenced yard. I have 2 small children as well but trust me I have experience with spicy animals as well as making sure safety is a priority. I have 5 friendly dogs that would love to have play dates or I can easily crate or separate my own personal pets or your pets (with your permission) if needed. If crating is not an option my house is set up to where I can keep my personal pets and your pets separated from each other without the need of crates. I also have plenty of toys and even a doggy pool to help keep your fur babies happy while you are away. I offer the option of pickup/drop offs being done but only by meeting outside, I do not want the fur babies to feel like I am taking them away from their owner. Thank you for your understanding and support in this matter! I am currently a stay at home mom. I have two beautiful children along with 5 very spoiled dogs that I consider my own children as well. I have a fenced yard and crates if you are okay with crating. I also have baby gates as well. If dogs need to have separation time that is understandable or if they need to be separated 100% of the time I can have that set up with no issues. Everyone's safety is 100% important no matter what.

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have hands on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve fostered a variety of breeds from Great Danes to dachshunds and Rottweilers so I’m comfortable with different temperaments and needs. For the past 6 months, I’ve also been helping with pet sitting and dog care, including walks, feeding, playtime, and providing a calm, consistent routine. I always aim to make pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m based in Branford and commute to Gainesville for college, so my schedule can vary slightly throughout the semester. That said, I do my best to be flexible and accommodate requests whenever possible. I’m typically available for care in both areas, including weekends and many weekdays, including holidays with a proper heads up, and I’m happy to coordinate times that work best for you and your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs. I’m experienced handling dogs with different energy levels and temperaments, and I always prioritize secure environments, proper leash handling, and careful supervision. I provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
