About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals ever since I was 5 years old! I’ve taken my time to learn animal behaviors and I can assure your pet will be in good hands. I have had the chance of taking care of multiple animals! Ranging from dogs, cats, goats, pigs, many kinds of birds, reptiles, amphibians and many more. Ive also taken care of many animals of many ages in life. I am mostly always free! I am a student just earning money and experience to become a future veterinarian. I have a great passion for all things animal related so I hope to have the greatest opportunity to take care of your pets! (Hablo español) (I cannot stay overnight!) I am currently a student just earning money and studying. So I am almost always free! (unless my parents planned something.) If anything comes up I will always let you know! I have a dog of my own that is very friendly! If you'd like to socialize your pet I can help! I don't mind buying things to ensure your pets needs are met. (within reason and budget of course)

About: Hi there! I'm Vely (pronounced vee-lie) a certified positive reinforcement dog trainer and with the help of my dog loving husband Dan, we're here to give you peace of mind with the best care for your pup. We know what it's like when you need to go out of town or on vacation and you want to make an exceptional choice for your 4 legged family member(s). A place where you can ensure, your pup gets adequate exercise, fresh air, and socialization. At our home, your pup will get to roam around (supervised, of course) a 1/4 acre fenced backyard of open space. Your pup will for sure get the zoomies! Your dog will never feel alone as we have 3 dogs of our own. If your pup desires quiet time and wishes to relax away from other dogs, we have puppy gates where they can have part of the house all to themselves. We understand dogs and can accommodate to their needs. As an added bonus, our clients have always mentioned they love the quality of pictures I take for daily updates. See my photo gallery for all the smiling faces. A little about me-- I am also certified in pet first aid/ CPR. I’m currently taking a course to be a certified dog enrichment technician. On my free time I enjoy researching and gaining more knowledge about dog training and behavior. They're my passion and I will care for yours as if they're my own. I started out as a self taught positive reinforcement trick trainer. I've trained my toy Aussie and Border Collie dog sports and stunt tricks. You can see some of my work on Instagram at mr.wilson_toyaussie. As of April 2024, I’m a certified professional dog trainer specializing in puppy training, obedience behaviors, tricks, and mild reactivity. I graduated from Catch Canine Trainers Academy with honors and a mentorship with the owner of Courteous Canine. I also have experience at a grooming salon. My husband is a business owner in the car industry while working out of our home. On his spare time, he loves learning new things and hanging out at home with the dogs. On evenings and weekends you can usually find us either walking our dogs around downtown or at various parks. Bonnet Springs Park is our favorite! Please be aware of the extra charge for the holiday and puppy price. In the Services Box, click on “see additional services and rates.” **All dogs must be friendly. They don't have to engage with other dogs, but must be able to coexist peacefully with others especially large dogs with small dogs. I have separate gated areas in my home and can group dogs together by size, temperament levels, etc. depending on the dog's needs. **Please review the cancellation policy: A full refund is available ONLY if canceled by 12 PM three days before the service begins.** Dan and I are dog lovers with no kids and 3 obedient dogs. I'm usually home and Dan works out of our home so we make a great team taking care of all the pups here. We are flexible and willing to work with your schedule. We have a privacy fenced in 1/4 acre yard for plenty of exercise and room to run and sniff. I love playing fetch if your pup is into that. Your pup will always be supervised and NEVER left unattended outside. I closely monitor dog introductions and take note of their body language. If their energy levels don't match and one becomes overbearing to another, I can keep them separated in a gated area. If a dog plays too rough, I referee accordingly. My goal is to ensure all dogs are happy and comfortable during their stay. Crate trained is preferred for adult dogs, but not required as long as they are completely potty trained (1-2 accidents are fine), isn't destructive, and can stay within a gated area when needed. All puppies less than a year must be crate trained as they will be sleeping in a crate overnight for their safety. All of my dogs are crate trained, so I can put them in off mode if your pup wants his/her individual playtime. If you have any special needs or routines I will be happy to accommodate. Additional services: Dog bath: $25 (under 25 lbs), $35 (25-40 lbs) Nail grind: $15 (small-med dogs), $20 (large dogs) 30 min 'sniff walk' at the park - $10

Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my priorities. With experience caring for animals of all sizes and training service dogs, I understand the importance of routines, patience, and individualized attention. My home is shared with my two bonded dogs, a German Shepherd and a Labrador. I require a meet-and-greet before boarding to ensure everyone is comfortable together. I follow each pet's feeding, exercise, and care instructions and provide a loving, supervised environment where they're treated like family.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was about 12. I’m very experienced and even have three pets of my own, two dogs and one cat. I’ve raised all of my animals since they were babies, so I am comfortable with young animals and confident in my abilities to take care of them. I’m able to confidently administer medication’s as needed to pets at the owner’s request. I am available whenever as long as I am able to work my normal Monday through Friday 8 AM to 5 PM job while pet sitting. The most availability I have is on weekends if you need uninterrupted pet sitting. I make sure that pet safety is the most important thing when taking care of someone else’s pets. I ensure dogs stayed leashed when not in a fenced in environment, and I watch out for cats sneaking out of houses. I will make sure whatever safety concerns the owner has during the visit are my number one priority.

“Pax loved Christiana and her daughter! She is so easy to work with and gives her great walks, great communication! Will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I've owned and cared for all types of dogs. I've walked and cared for large and small. I've experenced easy, well trained to the most challenging. I love them all. I'm retired, so I can easily work in walks, drop-ins, and sittings during my days. Most days I'm available after 10 A.M., but I'm flexible. I only do care at the pet parent's house, and I follow the guidelines the pet-parent sets because routines are important for consistency. I will always respect your home.

About: I grew up in a house hold where we always had some sort of four legged critters. From breeding to part of the family. I prefer four legged companion than 2. It's therapeutic to just chill with someone who just wants to be loved and played with. I've relocated to be closer to my mom. So I'm looking for work to pay my bills. I love animals, so why wouldn't this be an awesome way to make money and play with four legged critters. All care be done in the client's home. So pets are familiar with own surroundings and have a better experience with a random stranger, when it comes to caring for others four legged family member.

About: About Me Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is truly my passion. I have 30 years of experience caring for all kinds of animals, from fish and small pets to dogs, cats, livestock, and horses. I understand that every animal has its own personality, routine, and needs, and I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. For 10 years, I dedicated my time to rehabilitating dogs that were considered unadoptable. I worked with them patiently, helping them build trust and confidence before finding them loving, perfect homes. That experience taught me how important patience, compassion, consistency, and understanding are when caring for animals. I currently have two dogs who are very much part of our family. Copper, my Basset Hound, is one of my children, and Oakley, our adopted German Shorthaired Pointer, has a special place in our hearts as well. I know firsthand how difficult it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, which is why I take that responsibility very seriously. I am also a mom to four kids ranging from 12–19 years old, and they share my love for animals and are huge animal advocates themselves. Our family has always believed that animals deserve patience, kindness, respect, and lots of love. When your pets are with me, they aren’t just being watched—they’re being loved, cared for, and treated like family. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away and make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable in your absence. I currently work part time and have a pretty flexible schedule. I do sometimes have extracurricular activities with my kids showing livestock and FFA events but can work around that. When I care for your pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I know that pets feel safest when they are in their own familiar environment, so I make sure they receive the same love, attention, and care they would get from their family. I will follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special needs your pets may have. I will also spend quality time with them so they receive plenty of attention and don’t feel lonely while you’re away. With my 30 years of experience caring for animals, including dogs, cats, horses, and many other types of pets, I am comfortable handling animals with different personalities and needs. My experience rehabilitating dogs for 10 years has also taught me the importance of patience and understanding, especially with animals that may be nervous, anxious, or have behavioral challenges. While I’m in your home, I will treat it with the same respect I would my own. I will keep your pet’s areas clean, make sure they have fresh food and water, and keep an eye out for anything unusual with their health or behavior. I am also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and well cared for. Most importantly, I don’t see pet sitting as simply a job. Animals are my passion, and I will care for your pets as if they were part of my own family.

About: I've had dogs and cats my entire life, so I genuinely understand what it means to care for them as part of the family. My professional background further strengthens this passion: I've worked as a kennel technician, a vet assistant, and I'm currently a vet tech. Plus, I have experience pet sitting, so I'm comfortable stepping into that role. This means I'm not just a dog lover, but also skilled in understanding canine behavior, providing proper care, and recognizing any health needs. Your dog's safety and well-being will always be my top priority. Working in the vet industry as a vet tech allows me to spend 4-5 days a week surrounded by adorable dogs and cats. And when I’m at home, I take great care of my own fur babies too. It's clear that my love and passion for animals shines through in everything I do! Your pets' safety and well-being will always be my top priority. When I'm caring for pets in a client's home, the focus is on maintaining their familiar routine and environment as much as possible. I'll come to your home for scheduled visits or overnight stays, making sure your dogs and cats stick to their usual feeding schedule, walks, playtime, and cuddle time. This minimizes stress for them. I also take care of other household tasks like bringing in mail, watering plants, and ensuring the house looks lived-in for security. Again, my vet tech experience means I'm adept at spotting any health concerns, administering medications, and providing a high level of observant, compassionate care. In both scenarios, regular communication with you, including updates and photos, is a priority so you always know your furry family members are happy and well cared for.

About: Hi, Im a Hillsborough County local and life long animal lover-dogs, cats and everything in between, big or small! Im a mom of two grown kids, which means my nest is empty and my schedule is wide open. No rigid 9-5 , no little ones to rush home to- just me, ready to give your pet the same love and attention I'd give my own. I've done many long house sits, moving right into your home to keep your pets routine steady while your're away, as well as wuick drop-in play dates for pets who just need a midday check-in, potty break, or cuddle session. Whether its a week-long trip or a same-day request, im almost always available and happy to work around your schedule. I treat every home and pet with care and respect-your pet gets consistency, company, and someone who genuinely enjoys being there. Reach out and lets set up a meet and greet! As an empty nester with a remote work schedule, i have flexibility most people don’t — extra time and a quiet house that make it easy to build pet sitting into my day without disrupting my job. Visits fit naturally around my existing routine, whether that’s a mid-morning break for snuggles between calls or an early evening walk. And since I’m home most hours anyway, pet sitting doesn’t feel like an added task — it becomes a welcome source of companionship and structure in a day that might otherwise feel a little too quiet. You can trust that your home and pets are in steady, capable hands — every visit happens on schedule, every task on your list gets done, and nothing falls through the cracks. Years of caring for animals of all kinds have taught me to read their individual needs, spot anything out of the ordinary, and act quickly if something seems off. I treat your home with the same respect and care I’d want for my own — doors locked, mail collected, and everything left exactly as I found it, so you can travel with real peace of mind.

About: I have been around animals since I was a baby, I grew up raising puppies from birth and training them to go with their forever homes. As I got older I began walking and pet sitting when the owners needed. :) I’m currently a full time college student so I am free in the afternoons to walk, run, or play with your furry little baby’s when they need a break outside. When watching your babies it would depend on what amenities you have available. However regardless I would provide your animals with love, care and attention, ensuring they got plenty of time outside to use the bathroom, play, and lots of petting!

About: I have owned dogs since was 9/10 years-old, and enjoy playing with dogs and love keeping them occupied espically puppies. For puppies, I like to help potty-train them by offering treats to understand that "outside is where we use the bathroom not inside". I also pay really close attention to due to possible getting into things. I watch out for things that could possibly hurt your dog. As a dog owener myself I will treat your dog as if it was my own dog at home, giving all the attention and play time there hearts desire. I’m currently not working so I am available during select times. I also know what it is like to need a caregiver for your pets while you are away on a business trip or just a quick get away from reality. I live in an apartment complex where everyone keeps to themselves but as for any home I would treat it as if it were my home and how I would want to make sure things are in the right place
