About: I grew up with pets and formed a deep bond with animals early on. Sadly, I haven’t been able to have a dog of my own as an adult because I live in an apartment and travel often — but I pour all that love and care into the dogs I walk and care for. Recently, I spent 3 weeks dog-sitting two lovely pups in their own home. I kept them company and took them on regular adventures to explore new smells and meet new dogs. Their owners were amazed — for the first time, the dogs didn't dig a single hole in the yard (something they usually do when they’re bored or under-stimulated)! I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Back in college, I volunteered over 300 hours at the Miami Animal Shelter in a single semester, and I still visit regularly. That experience gave me confidence working with shy, energetic, and even reactive dogs. I’m calm, reliable, and absolutely love spending time with animals. Whether your dog needs a quiet stroll or a stimulating walk full of sniffs and new friends, I’ll make sure they get the attention and affection they deserve. I work full-time online, but my schedule is very flexible because my job is based on deadlines rather than fixed hours — some days are busier, others are lighter. This flexibility allows me to fit pet care into my routine quite naturally. Since I spend a lot of time sitting at a computer, walking dogs or spending time with pets feels like the perfect way to take meaningful breaks, move my body, and recharge. Even just being in a pet’s home while working remotely gives me a mental reset and a chance to share some quiet companionship. On lighter days or when I finish work early, I love taking dogs on longer walks or even heading to the beach if that’s something they enjoy. Pet care isn’t just a side activity — it’s become one of the most enjoyable and grounding parts of my week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is always to make sure the dog feels comfortable and safe with me. I take time to understand their personality and routine, and I always ask about the specific “do’s and don’ts” for each dog so I can respect their habits and make my presence feel as natural and familiar as possible. For dogs who are especially playful or affectionate, I love engaging with them in short, consistent interactions throughout the day — enough to keep them entertained and emotionally connected, without overstimulating them. Whether it’s a game, a cuddle, or just being nearby, I try to make sure they feel seen and cared for.
“Krystalynn has been walking our pup and we could not be happier. She met with us a few days before our walks started just so she could meet our Maisie(dog) and I could explain her many quirks. After meeting her I could tell she truly loves animals, as she talked about her 2 pets. Also appreciate the many pics from their walks!”
About: Hi, I’m Andres! I live in 33137 and care for my own energetic dog, Otto so I know how important reliable walks and visits are. I offer drop-ins and 30-minute walks for just $15 flat, always with the same care I give my own pup. Whether your dog needs a quick walk or just company while you're out, I’m here to help! Pet care is already part of my daily life. I have my own dog, Otto, who keeps me active and on a consistent routine. I’m currently working from home with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of availability for walks and visits throughout the week. Caring for pets is something I enjoy and take seriously — it's a part of my everyday rhythm, not a side task. When I care for pets in a client's home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent and stress-free. I follow any specific instructions the owner provides and make sure the pet feels safe and cared for. Whether it's a walk or a drop-in visit, I give each pet my full attention and treat them with the same care I give my own dog Otto.
About: I have a degree in psychology and 8 years of pet care experience. I’m calm, patient, and dedicated to making all pets feel safe and loved. I currently work from home, so most dates and times are flexible for me. I can easily fit pet care into my daily routine and adjust as needed. I don’t have other dogs at home, so your pet will have all my attention. I have a large space where your dog can relax comfortably. We live near the beach and a dog park, perfect for fresh air walks and playtime.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since childhood, giving me a natural understanding of their needs. I am the biggest dog lover ever, I would do anything for them. From playful puppies to senior dogs, I provide attentive, loving care tailored to each pet. Whether it’s keeping up with high-energy pups or offering gentle support to older dogs, I ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! My work is fully remote, so I have more than enough time to properly care for and be with your furry friends. The only times I wouldn’t be available are the times I travel, but other than that, when I am home, I can dedicate most of my time to caring for your pets. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for pets, whether in my home or my client’s. I currently have no permanent pets due to my travel schedule, which is why I’m so excited to care for pets while I’m home. My beautiful, spacious resort-style apartment is incredibly pet-friendly, with plenty of outdoor space to play and explore. With stunning views of a waterfront marina walkway, pets can enjoy peaceful walks and fresh air. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure every pet feels happy, secure, and well cared for!
About: I have taken care of all types of animals in the past! I am a biologist and enjoy nature and going on walks. I have experience with small to large dogs and cats! I am able to create my own schedule during the week. I am typically available and have plenty of flexibility during the week or weekends. I love all animals. I am currently working as a Biologist at FIU and have watched many of my coworkers dogs in the past, including untrained or hard to walk dogs.
About: Raised a dog while in college years ago, he was my best friend! I learned how to properly raise a dog without any extra help! I am currently working part-time. I am pretty much always free! I also walk about 5 miles a day.. I have wanted to get another dog for a while now, but due to living alone, I can’t. I figured this would be my next best bet! I am a caring person, which is one of the reason why I am a nurse! Before I became a nurse, I wanted to become a vet. Your pet will be in great hands with me :)
About: Pet Care Experience I’ve cared for pets my whole life, including my own Yorkie of 11 years. I’ve also helped family and friends with both dogs and cats—ranging from playful puppies to senior pets needing extra love and attention. I understand that pets aren’t just animals, they’re a real emotional connection and part of the family. What Sets Me Apart I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and care I gave my own. I’m timely, clean, highly organized, and always respectful of your home and your pet’s routine. Whether it’s cuddle time, a structured walk, or special instructions for medications or senior care—I’ll follow it all to the detail and ensure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for in my weekly routine. I’m available weekdays at any time, making it easy to accommodate walks, drop-ins, or extended stays. Weekends are limited, but with a little advance notice, I’m happy to arrange care upon request. I’m flexible, dependable, and always strive to work around your pet’s needs and your schedule. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize nurturing a calm, loving environment where your pet feels safe, seen, and comfortable. I take the time to understand their routine, habits, and personality so I can mirror the familiar care they’re used to. Whether it’s sticking to feeding times, preferred walking routes, or favorite napping spots—I pay close attention to every detail. I respect your space as much as I do your pet, keeping everything clean, tidy, and secure. I’ll never leave your pet unattended or in an unsafe situation, and I provide regular updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I treat your home and furry friend with the same care and attention I gave my own Yorkie of 11 years—because I know they’re more than pets; they’re family.
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was young—growing up with dogs and regularly looking after my neighbor’s cats. Animals have always been a big part of my life. My own dog is like therapy to me- just being around animals brings me so much happiness and stability. I love all pets, no matter their size or personality. Whether they’re big, small, loud, shy, playful, or even a stubborn, I’m here with patience and care. One day, I dream of having a home full of both dogs and cats! Until then, I’m excited to help care for yours as if they were my own. I’m currently working remotely on my own schedule, so I have a lot of free time and can work from anywhere! I’m very flexible and pretty available to work weekdays or weekends I always take my dog and grandma’s dogs on walks, feed them and play with them (though they are old now and don’t love to play as much). I’m happy to follow any type of specific training you are currently doing (I.e. crate, potty, etc.) and can mix up the activity levels however much you desire.
About: Since my dog passes away, I became a volunteer in a dog shelter, I can’t have one now, but I love them, they are family If I’m not working on my freelance job, I have plenty of time to attend potential client needs.
