“Elizabeth was fantastic! She sent pics and updates throughout the day while we were out! Our boy, Mav, was wiped out when we got home! He is about 3 1/2 yr old spoiled rotten Sheepadoodle! We would HIGHLY recommend her for your fur baby! She is kind and very patient - Mav took to her immediately!”

About: Ive had 12 dogs and 3 cats throughout my whole life, and have taken care of them like they were my sibling.Puppies/Kittens, teenagers all the way to their senior years. I know how important it is to make sure your pets are being taken care properly of while you're not there. Im here to assure that. You may even come home to your puppy knowing a new trick. I am an unemployed college student with 1-2 classes a day. I have an open schedule to be attentive to your pets. Animals also boost my serotonin. I love to be outside or inside, so I am willing to accommodate to whatever your buddy needs. I have plenty of places to attentively let your pet play, walk, or relax with no interruptions. I communicate very well and often, if that is what you prefer with knack for following whatever rules are in place. I have an immense amount of patience, love and attentiveness within me helping me thrive under pressure and care for all beings.

About: I grew up closely involved with many kinds of animals and have always been a lover of nature and wildlife. Along with numerous family pets, we often fostered cats and dogs, as well as newborn kittens and puppies. In high school, I spent over a year volunteering for the Animal Welfare League in Port Charlotte, FL, caring for cats and dogs of many varieties. I currently have 4 cats of my own, all rescues which I love dearly! It would be an honor for you to trust me with the care of your pet, and I guarantee that I will love and care for them as if they were my own. I have experience with providing cats with basic, routine medical treatments such as pills, topicals, and injections. Communication is important to me, and I will gladly provide you with any updates or answer any questions you may have while I'm looking after your home or pet. I'm currently seeking more self-employment opportunities, so my availability for daily or weekly sitting services is completely open! If you're looking for regular walks/visits, we can work together to schedule according to your pet's needs. You can rely on me to treat your home and pets with integrity and respect. Ensuring the comfort and safety of your animals is my top priority! I will listen to your unique needs and concerns, and provide attentive care.

“Our dog was well taken care of! We would definitely book with her again. She was caring and communicative while we were away.”

“Pennie was everything my dogs and I needed! From the first contact to the very end she was responsive and great to work with. She was able to handle my overly excited dogs when she arrived, her calm demeanor helped them settle quickly. Pennie kept their normal schedule and my dogs were completely content that I was away, this made my very happy and settled my nerves about leaving them. Pennie will be my go to for now on.”

“Danielle was attentive, friendly, flexible, and personable with our sweet Goldendoodle ♥️ Thank you so much for being the first dog sister for our new pup!”

Kristelle B.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we met, it was clear how kind, reliable, and genuinely caring they are. Our dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved while we were away—which says everything. Communication was excellent, with regular updates and photos that gave us total peace of mind. We came home to a very happy pup and a tidy space, and it was obvious our dog had been treated like family. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate dog sitter. We’ll definitely be booking again!”

“Shannon was awesome with my two babies! Olivia is somewhat of a crab and she was won over immediately! Casey adored her! Well cared for. Well worth it.”

Debra W.

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats for neighbors, family members, and friends since I was 10 years old. Through this experience, I have developed strong animal care skills and a genuine passion for working with pets. I am comfortable around animals of all temperaments and enjoy building positive relationships with them. I have a flexible schedule and can provide consistent, dependable care for your pets throughout the week, giving them the attention and affection they need while you’re away. I have a secure, fenced-in yard and do not currently have any pets of my own, allowing me to provide focused attention to your pet. I am also happy to crate your dog if that is your preference.

About: I’m all about fun, friendly energy on every walk. Your pup gets to explore, play, and enjoy a safe, joyful journey every time we hit the pavement or grass! I have tons of pet care experience: I have two senior dogs of my own, aged 13 & 15, who I’ve had since they were old enough to be without their mommas; I’ve worked as a pet specialist at a boarding facility for dogs and cats; and I pet every dog I meet—with permission, of course. Like everyone, I love dogs, and would love to give yours some company on a play visit or walk! I work from home, and have a flexible schedule. I prefer to have a two-day notice, so I can make sure I’m available when you need me, but depending on the day, I could be available same-day too. Just contact me and see! I do not care for anyone’s pets but my own in my home. But in a client’s home, I care for pets by giving them what they need—I think it really depends on the desire of the client and the pets! Case by case basis. Belly and chin scratches are always a given though!

“Christina was amazing with our senior dogs. One has epilepsy and the other one other health issues, so they are not that simple to take care of. She did a great job taking care of them. They were very happy with her and not stressed out. She kept me informed the entire time, was responsive, sent photos, and was able to give them their meds and vitamins. She stayed over and was respectful of our home. We recommend her and will be hiring her in the future.”

Mariela R.

“Christian was amazing with our 4 dogs!!! He kept us up to date every day on how they where an that eased my mind so much!!! They dogs love playing outside with him so much an that made for good nap times an better bed time!!!”

About: I've grown up with dogs since I was 5 and cats since about a year ago. I'm far more familiar with dogs and their needs and enjoy walking with them and caring for them. I currently have two medium sized dogs who love snuggles, walks, and playing. I work part time at the Lakeland Veterinary and Hospital as a Kennel Technician. My schedule varies on a monthly basis as schedules are typically given out for the upcoming month. The first week of the month is the most difficult for me to schedule as typically the work schedule hasn’t been sent out yet. As for my work schedule it varies time frames ranging from 7am-5pm or 4pm-9pm on week days while weekends are typically 7am-1pm or 4pm-9pm. Recently due to being short staffed I’ve volunteered to do doubles which is 7am-8pm with an hour lunch break. I'll be happy to discuss any time frames whether I know my schedule or not. I have two dogs (Brittany Spaniel and a very mixed breed but mostly resembles a treeing walker coonhound) at my house between 30lbs and 50lbs who love snuggles and playing with each other. I go on a lot of walks with my dogs as they're both friendly and energetic. I make sure my puppies are well fed, have clean water, and are given all the love they can possibly receive every day

“Jack had such a great and calm energy and it really helped with Baxter’s anxiety! He was very responsive and sent us updates and pictures. Thank you, Jack!”

Rachael B.

“Shawnee stayed with Josey while I went out of town for a night. She was very easy to work with and took good care of my baby. She sent pictures and communicated well.”

Lauren H.

“Karla was absolutely wonderful with my two Golden Retrievers, Shiloh and Snow. She was kind, responsible, communicative, and clearly cared for them as if they were her own. Throughout my trip, I had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such loving and capable hands. She kept me updated, followed all care instructions, and went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and comfortable. I returned home to two very well-cared-for and content dogs. I highly recommend Karla and will gladly book with her again!”
