About: Hi, my name is Noelle and I’m a paramedic and dog trainer-in-training who loves dogs and cats! I have a total of 14 years of experience caring for dogs, both my own and other people’s. In my time dog sitting I have worked with a variety of dogs from puppy to senior, low energy to high energy, special needs, and everything in between. I’ve had three dogs so far over the course of my life. I had one childhood dog from 9 months of age until she passed at 13. My other childhood dog had Cushing’s syndrome at the end of his life so I became accustomed to all those special needs. Nowadays I am solely responsible for my fur child, Jack, who is a rescue that I’ve trained and nurtured from a skinny and skittish stray to a confident and loving companion. The little man also has medical needs and quirks of his own. Jack is the light of my life and I take a tremendous amount of pride in the care and love I provide him. Whether canine or feline, I will love and care for your furry bestie just like my own! I am in between jobs at the moment and am grabbing at spare cash everywhere I can in this time that I don’t have a steady income, so my schedule is wide open! As I learn to train dogs, my primary goal is to build a positive relationship with your furry bestie so that they feel safe and cared for. Some safety guidelines I follow strictly include always leashing when off your property, not allowing your dog to meet other dogs unless given express permission ahead of time by you for your dog to meet a specific dog, and following any routines set by you so that your dog has a seamless transition. If you have any training you are working on with your dog, I am more than happy to help out with that. I follow a balanced training model that incorporates positive reinforcement first and foremost and then fair and minimally aversive corrections on an as needed basis. Corrections are tailored to the dog’s specific style of learning and I closely monitor feedback and body language to ensure that the dog is understanding what I’m communicating without enduring undue stress, and afterwards I direct the dog to the behavior I want and reward when they display it. When teaching humans, we teach them what to do as well as what not to do, so I do the same with dogs. If I find anything that happens to work for your dog and what you’re working on, I will communicate it to you so you can employ those methods yourself. Upon request, I would be happy to meet with you either in person or virtually to further demonstrate any techniques for no extra charge, as I find the experience as well as helping you foster a positive relationship with your dog infinitely valuable.

“We booked Evelyn thru Rover as 1st time users and we’re so pleased! She was great w BLU (& he loved her!) and wanted to learn all about him! We set up times for her to walk him and she was always there on the dot! Rebooking with Evelyn is in BLU’s future!”

About: Hi! I'm your local Sanford pet sitter/walker. I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, hamsters, small domesticated birds, and chickens. In my home, your dog will have a place to relax, play, and be happy. Your pup won’t just be a guest—they’ll be family. No cramped kennels or long hours alone. They’ll have the run of the house, plenty of outdoor time, belly rubs, treats, and all the love they could ask for. Need to book last minute? If I’ve got the space, I’m happy to make it work! I also offer house-sitting, drop-in visits, pick-up/drop-off, and dog walking, within range of service. A brief Meet & Greet is required prior to sitting for all new clients to assure compatibility. Every morning we take walks and frequently a second walk after work. Since I work remotely and am home nearly all the time, your dog will always have company and attention throughout the day. We have a limit of 3 dogs so your dog gets the full care and attention it needs. We have policies in place to make sure dogs, who are escape artists, aren’t able to make a run for it, we space feeding time and walking time as research has shown eating prior to a meal can cause bloating and other complications. It’s my mission your dog is safe at all times so you can worry less when your dog is not with you.

“Marie is great with Shadow - very attentive and reliable! He’s a large mouthy dog and she isn’t intimidated at all. Always glad when she can walk him!”

About: I am well versed on various training, dog sitting, boarding and walking methods for our canine family members. Gained hands on experience of training and handling with my 11 year old GSD. I personally researched for years and only then successfully trained my current 10 month old GSD, using my other 11 year old GSD as a control. I will offer free consults to clients in need of repeat services in order to determine the tailored needs for your dog. Always willing to go above and beyond for my love of dogs. Excel with all dogs and utilize communication with the client in order to fully understand the specific qualities, needs and wants of the dog in order to organize and manage effective walks/boarding/training. I have been living in the area for over 20 years and know all of the dog-friendly parks or areas that provide a clean and safe environment offering an array of enrichment. Knowledgeable in training and recognizing animal body language used to establish positive communication with the dogs. I can not only improve the lives of the dog, but also clearly communicate and empower the owner with training tips to continue effective conditioning for a well-trained dog. My remote position of over 5 years as a Sr Mortgage Underwriter was recently moved into the office (Tampa) and decided to take time off. Therefore, I am available 24/7 and mainly focusing on the transition into the Dog Walking/Boarding/Training business. *HOUSE SITTING SERVICE: Active as a less expensive alternative to booking numerous Drop-In visits with multiple dogs.

About: I had the joy of growing up with a dog from childhood through college and also caring for birds. I’ve always loved seeing animals feel safe, cozy, and free to play. Every pet has their own personality, and I truly enjoy getting to know what makes them light up. It’s a joy to offer this service not just to care for animals, but to serve people by giving their pets the love and attention they deserve while they’re away. I'm a freelancer with a flexible schedule, so I'm home often and available for frequent walks or check-ins. I live near parks and dog parks and love exploring safe, fun spots where pets can play and enjoy fresh air. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’d love to include your pup in my daily rhythm while caring for them. I don’t have a fenced yard, but I live in a quiet, pet-friendly area where many neighbors walk their dogs. I’m near a couple of lakes and peaceful paths, perfect for safe, leashed walks. Even if a dog is well-trained, I prefer to keep them on a leash to ensure their safety. My goal is always to create a calm, trusting environment where pets feel secure and cared for. I hope your pet friend will feel at home!

“Vanessa is amazing! Both my dogs absolutely love her and she is so responsive and caring with them. After their 1st daycare day with her the next day we started driving into the neighborhood and they got so excited because they knew they were going to see her. I’ll refer her to anyone who needs a dog sitter/walker.”

“Trinity was absolutely wonderful with our dog! Her communication is great, I’ll definitely rebook!”

Beauty C.

“She was very patient and took my pups on two nice walks. Even though she started up late, she still made sure they got their 30 minutes. My pups and I were hesitant since this was a last-minute booking and didn’t get a proper meet, but she did a great job of speaking to me on the phone and answering my questions. My pups accepted her almost instantly which proves good energy. Recommend her as your sitter!”

“Dependable. Professional.”
