Pet Sitting Lakeshore

“Our dogs had a great time with Alyssa! She came to our house twice a day while we were away and took great care of them. Would definitely recommend!”

“I knew Desiree was the right person when both my wife and I chose her while reviewing the Rover app at different times. She did not disappoint. It did our hearts so good to know that our Benny was in caring hands. Not only was she always on time, and stayed the entire time, she took time to play with him, take him on short and long walks, and sent us many pictures of Benny doing a variety of things. I would wholeheartedly recommend Desiree without a second thought. A+ 👏👏”

About: I have owned 2 dogs of my own, as well as sitting for many friends and family. My very first job at 10 years old was requested by my neighbors to watch their dogs while they were away. I have experience with all ages, including senior dogs, as my own both required a lot of hands on care in their golden year, including bi-weekly fluids, medications and special diets. I work part-time, sometimes in the morning to late-afternoon or late-afternoon to evening, usually 4 days a week. This schedule is not the same every week but I usually know 2 weeks ahead of time. There is someone home everyday after 5pm and all day Friday-Sunday as well. I have a townhouse with a fenced in yard. No ability to crate at the moment but plenty of space to crate if one can be provided. There are currently no other animals in my house, as my Biscuit cross the rainbow bridge last year. Both people in the home have owned pets, and have experience with care. Someone is home most of the time, minimal hours alone if any. Weekends will have someone home all day. House has step that can easily be blocked off by a gate if needed.

About: I go beyond the basics to ensure every pet feels loved, and truly safe in my care. I have genuine passion for animals with exceptional reliability and attention to detail. I pride myself on tailoring my care to each pet’s individual needs, whether it’s providing energetic playtime, comforting cuddles, or simply maintaining their routines for a sense of familiarity. I also focus on creating a seamless experience for pet parents by staying highly communicative, sending regular updates, and being flexible to accommodate schedules. My goal is to bring peace of mind to pet parents, knowing their furry family members are in caring and capable hands. As a semi-empty nester, I’ve found myself with a little more space in my heart and time in my day for giving love and care to your fur babies. With a hybrid work position that offers flexibility, I can easily adjust my schedule to ensure your pets get the attention, playtime, and care they deserve. Whether it’s a cuddles during downtime, or sticking to their routines, I’m here to provide dependable and loving care when you need it most. I understand how important it is for your pets to feel comfortable and secure while you're away. Caring for them in their own home allows me to maintain their routines, which helps reduce stress and keeps them happy. From feeding to playtime and cuddles, I ensure their unique needs are met with attention and affection. I’m also highly respectful of your home. I treat it as if it were my own—keeping it tidy, secure, and ensuring your pets feel cared for in a familiar environment. With my flexible schedule and attentive care, you can have peace of mind knowing your beloved pets and home are in trustworthy hands.

“Courtney is a reliable, communicative, and outstanding pet sitter. She gave me thorough updates on all her visits. It’s so nice not to worry about my pets while I’m away. I know my pets are in good hands when under her care.”

About: I've been caring for animals for over fifteen years — starting with my own two dogs and quickly becoming the person friends and neighbors called first when they traveled. What began as favors turned into something I take seriously: I've looked after everything from eight-week-old puppies to a seventeen-year-old cat who needed delicate care and put on a diet on a strict schedule. Two things set me apart. First, puppy and senior dogs: I've raised three puppies through their first year, so I'm comfortable with leash pulling and senior care. As older pets need a slower pace, gentler handling, and someone who notices small changes — a limp, a skipped meal, a little more stiffness in the morning. I send daily updates with photos, and I'm not shy about calling you if something seems off. I also handle the less glamorous parts without complaint: medication routines, post-surgery restrictions, cats who want nothing to do with me for the first three days, and homes that need to be left exactly as I found them. Mornings, before work. Early morning is my best slot. I can walk dogs starting around 6:00 a.m. through roughly 8:30 a.m., so your dog gets a real walk and a bathroom break before the day starts — not a rushed five-minute loop around the block. Mid-day, on my work breaks. I get a lunch break and a couple of shorter breaks, and I can use them for walks or drop-in visits. That's the gap most owners worry about the long stretch between the morning walk and coming home. I can break it up, so your dog isn't waiting eight hours. Exact timing varies a little by the day, so tell me your ideal mid-day window and I'll tell you honestly whether it fits. After work. I'm available again in the late afternoon and early evening, typically from around 5:30 p.m. onward, for a longer walk or a play session. Before bedtime. I can also do a final walk late in the evening — usually between 9:00 and 10:30 p.m. — so your dog ends the day with a bathroom break instead of a long overnight wait. For puppies and senior dogs, that last walk often matters most. Weekends. My availability is wider on weekends, so morning, mid-day, and evening walks are all easier to arrange. I keep a regular weekly rotation, so repeat bookings hold the same time slot week after week, and I'll confirm every booking in advance. If your dog needs a set walk time that isn't on this list, ask — I can often shuffle things around. I offer both drop-in visits and walks, and I can care for pets in your home. Here's how I handle each part of it. In your home. I treat your space the way I'd want mine treated. I arrive when I say I will, and I leave things where I found them — doors locked, lights as you left them, trash taken out if you asked. I'll happily follow a written routine posted on the fridge, and I always text when I arrive and when I leave so you're never wondering whether someone showed up. Around your pets. I keep to your pet's normal food, portions, and schedule rather than improvising. I don't introduce new treats, new food, or new people without asking you first. If your dog is nervous with strangers, I'll take the first visit slowly — sitting on the floor, letting them come to me, no forcing. Same with cats: some need a week before they'll eat in front of you, and that's fine. Walks and outings. Every dog goes out on a properly fitted collar or harness and a leash I check before we leave. I keep dogs away from other dogs unless you've told me they're friendly, and I avoid busy roads, hot pavement, and unfamiliar off-leash areas. In warm weather I test the asphalt with my hand before we walk on it — if it's too hot for me to hold, it's too hot for paws. Health and emergencies. I ask for your vet's name and number, an emergency clinic, and a reachable contact before the first booking. If something serious happens, I get your pet care first, then call you — and I won't hesitate to go straight to a vet or ER if waiting seems wrong.

About: For 12 years I’ve had the honor of caring for my 86 lb. Pitty named Shadow, who enjoyed a very rich and healthy life. Shadow is now in doggy Heaven, but had the very best life any dog could ask for. Shadow was a very active & playful dog who enjoyed our daily runs, walks and playing fetch. I have a lovely pet friendly home and would love to share it with your fur babies when you are in or out of town. I work full time, but get home very early in time to run, walk and play with your dog. I do not work on Sat or Sun so we have all day to enjoy our beautiful Florida weather indoors or outdoors. My yard is fenced in and I typically go for daily walks with the dogs in my care. My home is lovely yet pet friendly and your dog would be welcomed as if it were their own home. I have multiple crates of varying sizes if your dog requires crating, but it is not mandatory while they are here. You can bring your own crate if your baby is more comfortable with what they already know. Also, they can use the potty as often as they like as I usually sit outside with them. My care is superior and my home is safe and friendly. Try me, I promise you will be more than satisfied. My fur babies comes first, everything else is second nature. I’m dedicated to giving the best care I can possibly give ensuring each baby is comfortable, happy, safe and get enough exercise through play and walks throughout the day. All dogs are kept separate if they come from different homes. They eat separately as well so as not to cause food aggression or anxiety amongst each other.

“Allison was very informative and took great care of my fur baby. She made sure he was well taken care of while we were away. She communicated and sent us updates.”

Meredith N.

“I am so thankful to Michael and extremely impressed! He went above and beyond during his drop-in visit with my dog. He keeps you updated and has professional communication. He is considerate and personalized towards your pet and their needs. My favorite part was his understanding towards my dog's anxiety and his attention to her personality. Highly recommend!!”

About: I’ve had pets throughout my life. Most dogs approach me readily. I enjoy giving belly rubs and back scratching. Playing fetch in and outside and giving them attention I am retired and am available 7 days a week and am at home most of the day. I leave a sliding glass door and patio door open for them to go in and out freely I have a fenced back yard with plenty of room to run. I don’t have a a 80lb Black Lab under 2 years old that’s loves playing. I have Airbnb space and welcome pet guests along with the two legged variety. I have a pool for the swimmers and vinyl floors for cool resting spaces I’m retired from a career in accounting so dog care is the biggest part of my day. It give me flexibility to schedule meet and greets an can accommodate drop offs and pickups throughout the day and evenings I work hard keeping your pet safe. I separate dogs at their feeding times to avoid any territorial issues I allow the dogs as much outdoor time as possible I keep hard bones and ropes all around to keep them occupied. Most daycare dogs leave having spent a lot of energy and usually rest well when they get home I am fully retired so I’m home all day most days. If I go out to run errands I’m gone 1-2 hours. Should I be gone longer, I will check your practice that you use there. I’m outside a lot and will let your dog play as much as possible, I do have a covered patio with a tile floor so the can cool down and get water. I have a pool that I can block access when needed Pets sleep indoors and usually in my bedroom floor or my bed when there’s enough room. I allow them on my sofas and the sleep there as well. I feed them twice a day between 7-8am and 5-6pm and treats in between

About: I’ve had dogs and cats for most of my life, so caring for animals isn’t something I’m just trying out—it’s something that has been part of my life for decades. I’ve cared for pets at every stage, from energetic puppies and curious kittens to older pets who need a little extra patience, attention, and care. One experience that especially shaped how I care for animals was adopting a geriatric dog whose owners had passed away. Taking on an older dog taught me that sometimes the best pet care is simply being patient, paying attention to the little things, and making an animal feel safe and comfortable. What I bring to pet sitting is that same mindset. I want your pet to feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you're away—not like they're being "watched" by a stranger. I take the time to learn their routines, personalities, quirks, and needs, and I treat every pet as an individual. Whether your dog wants to play all day, your cat prefers to observe from across the room, or your senior pet needs a slower pace and extra TLC, I'm happy to meet them where they are. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time at home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and companionship. I’m happy to work around their normal routines, including meals, walks, playtime, medications, and downtime. When house sitting, I’m able to make your pet a priority while still maintaining a normal daily routine. I understand that every pet is different—some need lots of activity and attention, while others are happiest with a quiet, comfortable presence nearby. My goal is to keep their routine as close to normal as possible while you’re away. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for someone’s pets and home. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would want someone to show mine, and I follow the owner’s instructions and the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, habits, feeding schedule, medications, and any special needs before their owner leaves. I’m also attentive to changes in behavior or anything that seems unusual, particularly with senior pets who may require a little extra observation. When house sitting, I keep the home secure, clean up after the pets, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and companionship. My goal is for both the pet and their owner to feel comfortable, safe, and confident while they’re away.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds my entire life! I helped my family foster dogs of all ages and sizes (up to 23 at a time) since elementary school. I haven’t met a doggy I didn’t love! I’ve cared for dogs by administering medicine, grooming, wrapping injuries, and more. I love going on runs and playing catch if your furry family needs some exercise as well! I work full time, but have a lengthy lunch break and free evenings after 5pm. I would be happy to drop in for an early morning visit as well. I don’t currently have any pets in my own home, but in my family home I am responsible for feeding, administering medicine, walking, cleaning up after, playing with, and giving head scratches!

“Stephanie was amazing 10⭐️. I could tell the second I met her or even communicated through messaging, that she loved animals. After the meet and greet, I totally felt at ease leaving my dog 🐶 in her hands. Don’t second guess who to go with, definitely go with Stephanie. Im newer to the area and Stephanie is for sure my new go to for all my animal help😁🥳 BIG THANK YOU STEPHANIE🤩”

About: I grow up with pets, almost all my life, and I did the same with my kids, have pets since the were young. So now they are grown and gone, so I would like to do something I enjoy. I’m not working at the moment and I would like to work from home and this opportunity it’s just perfect for me being at home and spend time with animals. When I had my last dog, I take her out every hour to make sure she can use the bathroom. I’m moving this month to a house with 2 acres aren’t fence yet, so it’s plenty of space.

About: Growing up in Puerto Rico, I was surrounded by all kinds of animals, especially dogs and cats. My family created an environment where pets had freedom, comfort, and plenty of space to be themselves. That upbringing shaped the way I care for animals today: with patience, respect, and a genuine love for their happiness and well‑being. What sets me apart is that I don’t just “watch” pets, I make them part of my day. I’ve always been the go‑to pet sitter in my family, and whenever I care for an animal, I treat them like they’re my own. Whether your pet needs playtime, calm companionship, or a safe space to relax, I make sure they feel free, comfortable, and understood. Every animal deserves attention, joy, and the freedom to be themselves. That’s exactly how I want your pets to feel when they’re with me. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work a full‑time job from 8 AM to 5 PM, so my availability is focused on times when I can give your pets my full attention. Monday–Friday: Available after 6 PM for walks, drop‑ins, or evening care. Saturday & Sunday: Available all day for pet sitting, walks, and extended visits. I do have some flexibility, and I’m always happy to discuss special timing needs in advance. My goal is to make sure your pet gets consistent, reliable care that fits both of our schedules comfortably. I care for all pets exclusively in my clients’ homes, which allows your pet to stay in a familiar, comfortable environment. This reduces stress and helps them feel safe while you’re away. When I’m in your home, I follow your routines exactly as you describe them — feeding times, walking schedules, play habits, and any special instructions. I’m very detail‑oriented and make sure your pet’s day feels as normal and consistent as possible. I also take home safety seriously. I double‑check doors, gates, and anything that could pose a risk. Your space is treated with respect, and your pet is always supervised during outdoor time. My goal is simple: for your pet to feel calm, loved, and completely at ease in their own home while you’re away.

“Friendly, fast to answer, and my dogs love her! I try to use her every time.”
