About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life and have over 21 years of hands-on experience with pets of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’m especially experienced with senior pets and understand the extra patience, attention, and care they need to feel comfortable and safe. Whether it’s walks, feeding, medications, playtime, or just keeping your pets company while you’re away, I treat every animal like family. I’m dependable, attentive, and truly love caring for animals! I’m a commercial real estate agent, so I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day! Caring for animals is honestly what keeps me from adopting even more of them myself. I truly love spending time with pets and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I care for every pet like they’re part of my own family. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their routines consistent. I pay close attention to cleanliness, feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and giving lots of affection, cuddles, and playtime along the way!

My experience also includes overnight pet sitting, house sitting, administering medications and insulin when needed, and providing attentive, individualized care.

I’m committed to making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll treat your babies like my own and give them the patience, attention, and affection they deserve. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, medication, or a little extra patience and understanding, I’m here to help give you peace of mind while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! 🐾 Every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, and I’m here to follow whatever works best for your babies! Whether your pets need specific feeding times, daily walks, medication, playtime, cuddles, or a consistent bedtime routine, I’ll do my best to keep their schedule as close to normal as possible. My goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, just like you never left! ❤️ 🐾 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment where your pets can feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions closely, maintain their routines, respect your home, and make sure your babies receive the same patience, attention, and care I give my own. You can count on me to treat your pets and your home with the utmost respect and responsibility. ❤️

About: What sets me apart is my personalized, positive approach to pet care—every dog is treated as an individual! I focus on building trust, clear communication, and real-life skills that work at home and on walks. Pet care fits seamlessly into my weekly routine. I am a student with a flexible schedule and with that flexibility, have the opportunity to do what I love-pet care! Long overnight stays, drop-ins daily, or quick weekend visits are things I love to spend my time doing. Safety, trust, and a positive environment are my top priorities. I provide attentive, reliable care and closely follow each pet’s routine to ensure they feel secure and comfortable. I use gentle, positive methods and maintain a calm, clean environment so every pet feels safe, respected, and at ease while in my care.

About: Hi! I’m Leilani, a reliable and experienced pet sitter who loves caring for animals. I have over 3 years of hands-on experience with dogs, including dog walking, and in-home pet sitting for family, friends, neighbors, and clients through word-of-mouth recommendations. addition, I have 1 year of professional experience working at a dog daycare and boarding facility, where I cared for up to 15+ dogs at a time. This taught me how to safely manage multiple dogs, recognize different personalities and behaviors, maintain structured routines, and provide care in a fast or slow paced environments. It is so incredibly important that your pet is comfortable and happy while you are away or busy, so I do my best to keep them on their normal routine with attention, playtime, potty breaks, walks, and affection. Whether your pet likes to play or lounge out I can always attend to them and be there for them as well. being dependable and having good communication is incredibly important to me so I look forward to meeting your furry family members! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! I have plenty of free time during the week, and when I’m not out with my own pup or working at my doggy daycare, I keep myself busy by baking/cooking, staying active and reading. I’m very attentive and love making sure every pet feels comfortable and cared for. Whether we’re relaxing on the couch or playing, I always keep an eye on them and make sure they’re safe and happy. I’m great with routines, scheduling, and setting reminders so feeding times, walks, and potty breaks always stay on track.

About: I have always had dogs since I was younger, and after recently having a dog with extreme anxiety and going through her training with her I have learned a lot about the emotions of dogs and the way truly each dog requires different care and love. Being newer to Orlando I want to try to find a few families or people who need consistent help with a dog. These special fur babies who need the most attention are who I am trying to help with through time outside walking and getting fresh air. I am open to meeting and working with any sort of animal, just as long as we can facilitate and introduction before hand. I work a full time job remotely, so as long as I do not already have a meeting scheduled, I am able to be flexible with letting out your babies and taking them for a stroll. Weekends are fully available. I have a backyard and a single family home with plenty of room for running around and play. I have two dogs of my own, but if your pup prefers to be alone, we have a set up special for my pups to live in one section of the home during the time we are spending with your baby. Toys galore, and as many treats as parents will let them have! In your own home, I can do whatever you need me to do! Have a backyard and your dog loves fetch? Perfect! They have a two mile walking loop they adore? Just let me know! I want to keep them in their own routine as much as possible. I work full time fully remotely, so I am always in the home unless we are running errands. I walk my own dogs every morning before 9am, and would be happy to bring your pup into that routine. We have a fully fenced in yard, a six bedroom home and plenty of space for lounging dogs to rest. Since we have a toddler, we keep nothing unsafe for dogs or children on the floor so hazards are minimal to none.

About: I've been a dog dad for 5 years and a pet sibling for over 20. I've had cats, dogs, fish, and other pets in my life for almost all of it. When I hang out with your pets, it's just that -- we talk, we vibe, we chill, we play. I've had experience caring for dogs and cats of all types, personalities, and ages. From keeping up with young, playful pups to feeding liquid diets to old, tired, and frail kitties, I am up to any challenge. Your pet will very quickly learn to love me! I work for myself, so my days are flexible and adaptable -- I can build my schedule around your pets' needs! I prefer at least three days notice for job requests and cancelations. I am happy to come to your house and keep your pet comfortable with their familiar environment. When in your home, I will be respectful and make sure to keep your space clean and organized.

About: I have had big dogs and small dogs. I currently have a 45 lb mixed breed Beau. I am a certified dog trainer as well. However the focus here is to walk and do in home visits for your pups. If you would want a combined training happy to show you my methods and of course offer that but that is in home with you. I say I am a human trainer for the dogs :). Periodically I can take a boarding when you go out of town. I do like a pup to be crate trained however for when I might have to leave a couple of hours at a time. I do have a fenced back yard and if you allow I do think it's fun for the dogs to go out and about with me in a multiple day boarding situation. I would love to learn more about you and your pups needs and all the perfect personality traits plus routine you like for your dog. For a discount clink on the link https://www.rover.com/sit/ninas22473. I have a pretty open schedule to take care of your fur babes. I do trainings here and there in the week and school car pool. My home welcomes doggies. I can be firm to whatever your rules and routines are. I think clean water and dishes after eating is important for sanitary reasons and health so I am good about cleaning up after them. I am an overly clean person so I play and exercise the pets but also clean them up and after them in the home.

About: I grew up eith 10 dogs at my house. My neighbor also had a whole gaggle of dogs I would watch for her. I always love getting to meet new dogs! I am a stay at home mom. I have 3 young children so im very flexible when it comes to the needs of others and their furbabies. I have a mostly fenced in yard (we are working on the missing parts). I have a golden retriever and a husky mix. I also have a very timid cat who is hiding most of the time. I do put our dogs in crates at night and I put one of them in the cage when we aren't home.

About: I am a pediatric nurse looking to fill my days with furry friends! I love being outside and being active! I have had dogs and cats since I was little and have lots of experience with very large breeds such as Newfoundland and Great Dane but also very little dogs such as pugs and Chihuahua. I love being active so taking them on walks is also ideal for me. Since I am a nurse, my schedule is incredibly flexible. I am self scheduling so having chunks of 4-6 days off is very common for me. I would love to be able to house sit if needed or even just take your animals on walks while you’re at work! My schedule is very inconsistent because I work 12 hour shifts but only 3 days a week. I have 4 days a week where have nothing at all! I love taking care of animals. I thoroughly enjoy giving them belly rubs and playing fetch or running around outside. Whatever your normal routine with your dogs or cats you have, I will do my best to stick with! I am open to house sitting, dog sitting or dog walking!

Brenda and Dwain seriously took the best care of our dog and cat during our trip and even came back on sudden notice to walk our pup when our flight was delayed. Their updates and pictures made our day and eased our minds. I had zero concerns the entire time we were away. Honestly, I felt like our pets were on their own mini vacay with the walks, attention, and endless love they got. 😂 10000% would recommend them to anyone.

Christi has been an absolute blessing for both me and my dog. As the owner of a senior dog, finding someone who is patient, attentive, and genuinely caring is incredibly important, and Christi exceeds every expectation. She is always punctual, communicates wonderfully, and keeps me updated, which gives me complete peace of mind. What I appreciate most is the love and compassion she shows my dog. She cares for him as if he were her own, paying close attention to his needs and making sure he is comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Senior dogs require extra patience and understanding, and Christi provides both in abundance. It is clear that she truly loves animals and takes pride in the care she provides. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found someone I can trust so completely with my beloved companion. I wholeheartedly recommend Christi to anyone looking for a dependable, compassionate, and exceptional pet sitter. She is simply amazing! 🐾❤️

Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
