Dog Sitting Kissimmee

About: Serving Lake Nona / East Orlando area / Downtown Orlando / Winter park / St. Cloud / Kissimmee Hello Pet Parents! My name is Elisa, and I’m a pre-vet biology student with a lifelong passion for animals and their care. Ever since I was younger, I’ve loved spending time with animals and began pet sitting and walking dogs for neighbors, which gave me experience with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Over the years, caring for animals has become more than just a hobby for me, it’s something I truly love and hope to turn into my lifelong career. I also come from an equestrian background, where I learned the importance of patience, responsibility, and understanding animal behavior. Working around horses taught me how important trust and gentle care are, and I carry that same mindset into every pet I care for. A little bit about me, I have my own dog named Wrangler! He’s a very active, high-energy dog, so I’m very comfortable with energetic personalities, long walks, enrichment, and keeping dogs engaged both physically and mentally. We go on 3-mile walks and hikes daily, so whether your dog loves being active or prefers a slower, calmer pace, I’m happy to adjust to what makes them most comfortable. I also understand reactive dogs, as my own dog has had reactivity challenges in the past, so I always approach pets with patience, awareness, and compassion. I also have 2 birds that I’ve had since I was just 9 years old! Having two birds of my own has given me hands-on experience caring for pets with different personalities, needs, and boundaries. I understand that some birds can be bitey, nervous, or uncomfortable around new people, and I know how important it is to respect their space and build trust rather than forcing interaction. For shy or less social birds, I am comfortable stopping by to provide fresh food and water, clean their area, offer enrichment, and make sure they are safe and comfortable while respecting their boundaries. As a future equine veterinarian, animal health and safety are extremely important to me. I’m comfortable administering medications and making sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away. My goal is always to make your pet feel loved and at home, while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring and reliable hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets P.S: Expect TONS of fun photos! My Pet Care Schedule * I’m available most early mornings early-late afternoons, which works well for walks, drop-ins, and playtime. *I work part-time too! So make sure to consult with me so we can work around my schedule. I am free early mornings and late afternoons during those days. * I avoid scheduling walks between 11 AM– 3PM, especially in hot weather, to keep dogs safe from peak heat. * I’m flexible outside of those times and happy to work with each pet’s routine and needs. For example : 30 Minute Dog Walks include a fun stroll around your neighborhood or a nearby trail to give your pup the exercise, fresh air, and mental stimulation they need during the day 30 Minute Drop-Ins include potty breaks, feeding, play, mental enrichment and of course plenty of snuggles to keep your pet happy + and comfortable while you're away. How I Care for Pets During House Drop-Ins & Dog Walking * I treat your home with respect, keeping everything clean, organized, and just as you left it, while making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar space. * I follow your pet’s normal routine. walks, meals, potty breaks, and rest so they feel secure and relaxed while you’re away. * I love incorporating enrichment into my visits, so I often bring a sniff mat and tailor activities to what your dog enjoys most. I pay attention to their personality and preferences so each visit feels engaging and meaningful for them. * I make an effort to really get to know your dog what they like, what motivates them, and what helps them feel happiest so I can adjust my care to fit them, not just a routine. * Treats and rewards are always personalized based on what your dog enjoys (because every good pup has opinions, and I respect them). * I focus on safe, structured walks that match your dog’s energy level, whether they prefer a calm sniff and stroll or a more active outing. * My goal is to make each visit feel positive, enriching, and comforting for your pet, while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re genuinely cared for.

About: For the last 5 years, I have loved taking care of dogs for other people. I've had both big and small dogs throughout my life, which has taught me how to adapt to different energy levels and needs. Right now, I'm the proud owner of a small but ferocious Chihuahua, so I know exactly how to win over dogs that might be a little stubborn or protective. I will always make sure your pet feels safe and understood while you are away. I work as a mental health counselor and manage my own schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility to integrate pet care smoothly into my week. I have a deep love for animals and actually view pet sitting and dog walking as a great way to decompress and practice self care. Spending time with your dog is the perfect way for me to recharge while making sure they get the excellent care and attention they deserve. When caring for your dog in your home, safety and trust are my top priorities. Navigating life with my own protective Chihuahua has taught me the importance of patience, reading body language, and respecting a dog's boundaries. I apply the same calm, understanding approach I use in my counseling work to ensure your pet feels secure and relaxed at their own pace. I am deeply respectful of your space, meticulous about locking doors and avoiding hazards on walks, and committed to following your specific safety routines perfectly.

“Ashleigh is amazing. We She came by before to ensure our husky Roxy could become acquainted with her. We asked her to drop in twice a day and she provided us with pictures. Roxy got in plenty of play time and no accidents in the house. I would highly recommend Ashleigh in the future.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was a kid, and now I have many years experience doing it professionally as well. Rover and pet sitting was my full time job for the last 2 years and I fell in love with it. Taking care of animals has become a passion for me and it’s something I do with my whole heart. As a pet owner myself I know how important our babies are to us and I provide to everyone’s pets the same level of care I give my own. I have experience with all different types of animals: all types of furry friends, also including rodents, reptiles, and birds. I have experience with caring for elder and senior and special needs dogs and cats , and I am comfortable administering both oral and injection medications. I am available upon request, I have a flexible schedule and can fit all types and lengths of walks, house stays and more. I am focusing on pet sitting full time. I have a fenced in backyard, with lots of play space! I am very experienced with all types of dogs for walks, and have had my fair share of strong pullers or escape artists! I am always on the lookout for any possible safety situations, including dog proofing any areas- I’m good at spotting all the ways dogs could get into things that aren’t safe or chew up personal belongings.

“Another great experience with Angelo. I feel my girls are in good hands while we're away. We were delayed a day returning home and he was very helpful in adding one more day to their care since we wouldn't be home on time. Easy to work with and great with our kitties.”

About: I have experience caring for around 20 dogs and 4 cats over the past 3 years. However, I’m also a seasoned pet owner - growing up with and caring for 4 dogs and 5 cats over my life. I can handle energetic big dogs and rambunctious small ones with no problem, and will care for your pets as much as you need and as much as they want. I’m punctual, typically aiming to be 10-15 minutes early (unless told otherwise!). I’m also experienced with more specified instructions for higher-maintenance pets (including rescues and more temperamental ones) and will follow your instructions to the letter - photos included! I deeply appreciate advance notice, and request that you book at least a week in advance. I also prefer any cancellations come a day in advance. DISCLAIMER: Emergencies can occur where my other job requires my presence. They are exceedingly rare, but it can happen, and the nature of that job will require me to tend to it. This typically comes with prior notice that I can let you know of before it becomes an emergency for your pet, and I will always communicate these quickly. Thank you for your understanding! Your pet will be treated as kindly as I treat my own and I’ll treat your house just as reverently! I’m not your pet’s owner and your rule is law. I’m there to be their big brother for as long as you need. I’ve had my fair share of pups and cats getting anxious during prolonged absences and making a mess. I always do a quick check and clean any mess they make before and during my visit. I’ll also do my utmost to expend their pent-up energy in a healthier manner (walks & play). I’m good at reading how much space or presence a dog or cat needs, and will always provide whatever they need to make my visit as comfortable for them as possible!

About: I've been taking care of a variety of pets since I was 10 years old. Since I've gotten older, I've developed a love for training dogs basic obedience and my favorite thing is teaching them to walk on a leash! I'm currently working a full-time job but since I'm so close to home and have an hour lunch, I can make the time to spend my lunch hour at home to check in on my pets throughout the weekdays. Weekends I'm completely free to hang out with any animal I will care for! I have two very chill and friendly cats living in my home that will keep your fur baby company if they stay with me.

About: Caregiving is a calling and a special gift I've had for as long as I can remember. I've been trusted with the care of many animals, my own, neighbors, friends, and families since very young. I am always willing to learn more. While I am searching for the next move in my career path, I have ample time to spend with my family, enjoy the company of my friends, and work on small business ideas- this being one of them. I would love to spend more time around animals while I better myself in every aspect. Caring for a life typically means giving more than food, water, bathroom breaks or on occasion medications. It's understandable that some pets can dysregulated by their owners absence. For this reason I do my best to keep their space familiar and comfortable. The pets I care for are all shown compassion and patience while their pet parents are away. Updates, pictures and videos can be sent upon request.

I understand the importance of hydration, potty breaks, and need for love within each pet and how every dogs works in different ways. Also how to adjust to every animal (and their owners) specific needs.

About: I have my two dogs and I spend all my time at home taking care of them. I have had dogs in my care all my life, and I love being able to enjoy and spend time with my pets Hello my name is Tatiana, I have my two dogs and I am always looking out for them, pampering them and enjoying time with them. I'm home 24 hours a day, so I can take care of your furry child and be on the lookout all the time, catering to their specific needs. I live in a big house, I don't have an enclosed patio but I have a terrace where you can sunbathe. I also take my dogs for walks, so I won't have a problem taking as many walks your baby is used to. I will keep your dog in a clean and safe place. I have a fence so there is no problem, our dogs can enjoy and play on the grass running outdoors. Plus I can take him for a walk in the community when the heat is not so strong.

About: I have been in the professional animal care field for 20 years. I’ve worked with nearly every type of animal from large carnivores to little birds. I balance the ‘hard science’ of animal wellbeing with the ‘soft science’ of providing compassionate care and warmth. Because of my well-rounded experience I treat each request with the specialized care it requires. I am currently a physics student at UCF. Pet sitting is my full time job; this allows me the flexibility to accommodate a broad range of your pet care needs. What you can expect from me; we will set up a time for me to meet you and your pet/s. I will ask a series of questions about your pets routine, training, diet, etcetera to be sure their day without you goes smoothly. During the sit I will send updates depending on the frequency you want them (usually 2-3x/day). During my time in your home I will not eat any of your food, access any unauthorized/unnecessary rooms, and I will clean any messes that I or your pets might make. At the end (if it’s a sit over several hours or several days) I will email a little report which is basically a journal of my time with them highlighting behaviors, food consumed, training and activities, etc.

“We hired Nyla to help socialize our new rescue dog. Daisy is fear aggressive with strangers. Nyla is extremely patient doing drop in visits almost daily. Slowly getting Daisy to trust her even with incessant barking. We’re on the 4th visit and she started playing with her. Nyla is extremely punctual, patient and sweet considering Daisy’s demeanor at first.”
