“Penny was absolutely fabulous staying with my dog & 2 cats at my home. She is reliable, flexible and communicative & sent me daily text with pics. I am new to the area so was nervous leaving my fur babies but after meeting Penny i knew my kiddos were in good hands. I will definitely be using her whenever I need pet care whether it be for a day or several days. Thx Penny!”

About: I currently work at an Animal Hospital and have hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and temperaments. I’m comfortable with nail trims, grooming, and expressing anal glands. I can also help with basic care needs and transportation if needed, including pet pick-up and drop-off. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority. ❤️🐾 I am available all day Sunday, Wednesdays, Fridays and saturdays. I am available 6 to 8 mondays and tuesdays. I can’t wait to meet all your fur babies 🐾🐈 I have an open yard, and one cat but if needed my cat will be locked in a separate room. I have personal transportation if needed.
“I'm not one who writes reviews, but I had to get this one out there. This young lady is amazing, took such good care of my senior dog and so much that he was sorry to see her go. She was on time, extremely professional, courteous to the point where words this can't describe the experience. Thank You TL”

About: Since I was little, I had an affinity for animals in general, and wildlife in particular. I've worked in pet stores and been a wildlife biologist for 15 years and have handled a wide range of both domestic and wild critters. I've personally owned dogs, cats, geckos, finches, hamsters, rats, ferrets, anoles, frogs, and guinea pigs. If you're having a tough time finding someone to care for your scaly or hairy pet, I'm your woman! At this time, due to my time constraints and other pets, I'm only looking to board small, caged pets. I work a full-time (40 hour) job but am home during the evenings and weekends. At this time, I'm only looking to board small, caged pets since I could fully give them the time and care that they need. My pets are my family, and yours will be, too. I have a separate guest room that would be used exclusively for your small caged pet(s). That way, they will be kept separate from my own curious furbabies.

“Jennie was great! I had never left my dogs alone before and she made me feel a lot better about it. My flight ended up getting delayed and she came to check on them again. Thank you so much! I am so appreciative of everything you did.”

About: I have had pets literally my entire life. Dogs, cats, horses, and other small animals. I am patient, kind, loving, and know how to bond quickly with them. I truly enjoy the company of dogs especially and they always sense that and enjoy being with me as well. I have significant flexibility in my schedule. I can easily make the loving care of your pet my priority. I focus on Thursdays through Sunday/Monday for those quick weekend trips. I live in a small, senior park with lots of grass, a new, fenced dog park, and paved roads just in case your well-loved dog(s) may have grass or sand sensitivity. I have lots of time to devote to your dog. I can walk them, take them on golf cart rides, or give them time to play in the dog park.
About: My mom raised basset hounds and I certainly have a fondness for the breed but I love most four legged babies. My home is quiet and calm so older pets can be reassured of a relaxing experience. I enjoy leash walking and my neighborhood is quiet so walks won't be overstimulating or scary. I work from home but do work Saturdays from 10-5 at a local boutique as well. Most of my boarders are okay with being left alone for that length of time. I can easily crate your pet if that is what they are used to. Detailed instructions are always welcomed in regard to feeding, walking and bathroom breaks for your pet.
“Morgan is a person I highly recommend for any type of care: pet sitting, house sitting or elder care. My Winston has had separation anxiety in the past but with Morgan he was happy and calm! Thank you Morgan!”

“Went above and beyond, after being failed by multiple sitters and almost losing hope, David agreed to sit and even made sure I didn’t miss my 6:45am plane. He arrived at my place at 3:30am!!!!! I am very impressed and would definitely book you again. No doubt this sitter has set the standard!!!!”

About: Since childhood, I’ve always cared for dogs. After losing my beloved dog, I’ve longed to feel that special connection again, and I’m ready to give your pup the love they deserve. I work part-time, so I can take your dog out during the morning shift or lunch breaks, ensuring they get the attention they deserve while you’re at work. My home is pet-friendly with a secure, fenced yard where dogs can roam freely and safely. I provide the same care and attention when walking dogs in their own home, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved in a familiar environment.
“Cassandra was super professional and sweet with my dog Willow! Id admit my willow isn’t good with new people but Cassandra was calm and patient with her and went above and beyond with the care of my willow! Id definitely want her services again and so would my willow ?”
About: I am always looking for a furry friend when out and about! I love giving attention to furry friends who need it! I will shower your pet with love! I currently work part time in Punta Gorda. I am a full time college student specializing in computers. I love spending time outdoors and exercising. I have a fenced in yard, with two fur babies who will show some love to yours! I love the outdoors, so I will always bring your baby along with!
“Exceptional! First time I’ve left my animals with someone “not family “ and was pleasantly surprised. They loved her. She made everyone feel comfortable, cared for, spoiled and safe. Highly recommended from here!”

“Taylor took such great care of my fur baby on a short notice… the week of a thanksgiving… and for nine days…and she couldn’t have been better!!! I felt completely at ease leaving my dog with Taylor and knew she would take great care of her! She provided morning and nightly updates with pictures and was completely understanding of all Rhine’s (my fur baby) quirks and needs!! Will 1,000% be asking Taylor to look after my girl again and I couldn’t be more grateful 😊”

About: I have had small dog and large dog experiences. My first dog’s name was Roma, and she was a very small dog of about 10 pounds. She was a Coton de Tulear. I have also walked American Bulldogs, German Shepherds and Boston Terriers! I love walking a variety of animals! I also love cats! I’m currently working full time so I have time to walk dogs between 12pm-1pm on weekdays. Monday through Friday I am available from 6:30pm-8pm. I am also available most Saturdays and Sundays, for walks. I would be happy to have new pets in my home! Mostly I am happy I do walks, and have fun with the dogs! I have a positive attitude and love animals!
