“Madison was great!!! I had a last second flight and she was very flexible for my needs. I’m guessing she was great to my dog because he’s 21 years old and still bouncing around as usual.”

About: Hello! My name is Brieleigh and I am a student at Florida Institute of Technology in Melbourne Florida. In college I study math and am on the NCAA swim team. I have had dogs and cats my whole life and, naturally, know how to take care of them. While I do not have a cat now, I have had my fair share of wild kittens in my life. I love animals and am looking to help others out with there pets! I am a college swimmer and student, but am off all summer! Will have a lot of availability to be home with your pups. (: Dogs are family! When in others home I will respect it as if it is my own. You are paying for my services and I will make sure you get what you payed for through respect and care.
About: I have had 2 dogs in the household at all times since I was a baby and started dog sitting at 14. I have experience fostering dogs, boarding, training, walking and sitting. I have cared for dogs big and small, young and old and have loved them all. I am attentive to detail and give them the care they deserve. I am consistent with communication and will send updates/pictures throughout or as requested! I am currently working Wednesdays and have classes Tuesday-Friday. Friday is a very short day for me so besides one hour in the morning I am free. The best days for me are Saturday-Monday but my schedule is very flexible and I can work with you and what's best for your pups! I am a very active person so I take pups on long walks or runs (if they are up for it) multiple times a day. I am very attentive to their needs and they will always come first.
“Samantha replied to all of my messages immediately. I am very picky with my dogs, so I had a detailed list of instructions, and she followed them precisely. One of my pups has an issue with snapping, but Samantha gave him his space and had no problems. I will definitely use her again.”

About: Hi there! My names Allison. Im currently living in Vero and Melbourne. I take house sitting jobs in the Vero beach and Melbourne area. I have been taking care of all different types of animals all my life. From taking care of baby kittens to taking care of a new born puppy. Birds and reptiles as well. I love all animals and treat all animals the same. I just moved back to Vero beach but still house sitting in Melbourne and currently belong my mom take care of a household of seven animals. I am now looking to help others take care of their fur babies when needed. I’m free all the time and would love to take care of more animals. I take care of my pets daily from the minute. I wake up so the minute I go to bed. Both of my cats at home follow me everywhere and love their cat room that I made for them. I play with them daily and even make cute little projects for them. My most recent one was a little box for my one cat that wouldn’t let me get rid of a delivery box. I have had to give medication to animals as well. I’m very good at it and know how to administer medication‘s properly. I’ve also taken care of animals that have walking issues that are having issues with going outside. Many years of different types of animal care.
“My 3 pups (all over 13 years old) were taken care of as if they were Gretchen’s own babies. Gretchen is one in a million! My pups just loved her and she loves them. Thank you for taking the stress, anxiety and guilt away from us. They are just too old and precious to take to a boarding facility. I will forever hire Gretchen to take care of my babies.”

About: I have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, and I am also open to providing care for cats. I am happy to assist with any needs your pet may have. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important pets are to their families, and I will treat your pets with the same care, attention, and love that I give my own. I am a full time teacher. I get off at 2:00pm Monday-Friday. I am available to walk or do drop ins after 2pm. I leave my house around 8:20am for work. If I am house sitting/dropping in I may have to arrive/leave sooner depending on how far you are from me. I have three dogs at home, so unfortunately I am unable to provide in-home care at my residence. However, I am more than happy to stay at your home to provide care. I will strictly follow your schedule, including feeding times, walks, and any required medications. I am committed to giving your pets attentive care and plenty of affection.
“Minna is amazing! She sent tons of pictures of my dog and was very diligent in everything. One thing that I loved is that she had a meet and greet with me and my dog prior to doing the visits.”

“ABOVE AND BEYOND! Alexander and Dorys are the most reliable, trustworthy, responsible, kind, loving and fun people that I have ever hired to care for my pets or my three children! I highly recommend hiring them if you want zero worries about your fur babies or your home. I could share two weeks' worth of daily examples of their great communication and execution of my list of tasks, but I will share just one: CHRISTMAS EVE. 5:30pm. Jones, our indoor/outdoor cat, wouldn't come home. The entire family was multiple states away, as were most of our friends and neighbors. Alexander and Dorys arrive a bit early to get Jones safely inside for the night, cleaned the box and food and water dishes, and were ready to play and cuddle for 30 minutes. (always sending me pics and updates.) They kept calling for him. Did the nightly routine: selected a good TV program for him, checked thermostat and garbage, and kept calling for him --- on Christmas Eve when they were on the way to their family gathering. They were communicating with me that Jones was not home, and I told them they should leave the cat door open and to go to dinner with their family. It was Christmas Eve! (And, Jones often doesn't come back home immediately when called.) I said the neighbor would keep an eye out. But, Alexander and Dorys didn't feel good about leaving Jones outside and didn't want me to worry. Instead of leaving him outside like I said to do, they tracked Jones' Airtag that I had shared previously. The lovely couple went throughout the neighborhood, calling him and shaking his treats until they found him two blocks away. Then, Jones didn't want to ride in the car. So, Dorys walked and carried Jones all the way back home. And, they still petted him and gave him his nightly catnip party! I will attach a pic of the walk home with Jones looking like he's clawing her arm, but she never said a single word about that. They were just happy to have found him and made sure my fur baby was safely home so I could have a worry-free Christmas Eve. I believe this single example of my experience with Alexander and Dorys is a real testament to the care they would give your pets. In addition, they also cared for my large 'high-maintainence' German Shepherd the week that he had leg surgery for new ACL, and Dorys sat on the couch beside him and read with him the entire night to ease his separation anxiety. Gave medication, treats, and took care of Jones' indoor/outdoor needs... Dr. Dog was the least anxious that I have ever seen him upon our return home. He was so happy and peaceful ... another testament to the connection they have with the animals. You can see it. They are animal people, truly kind, and the pets and I love them - you will, too! :) ( Most of all for me busy working and traveling with family, etc.... I like not worrying about anything, no matter what. They took care of everything that came up without me giving a second thought. Worth every penny for the peace of mind... everything taken care of... everyone is happy!)”

I can also administer medication, bathe and lightly groom your pets upon request.

About: I have lived with both dogs and cats my entire life and would consider myself an expert on both. I have a lot of experience with tending to elderly dogs as well as dealing with some temperamental cats. I already dedicate time to taking care of my tabby cat. This involves feeding him, getting him lots of exercise, changing cat litter and more. I am able to help with whatever is necessary in caring for pets including feeding, changing water, playing, taking out to the bathroom, and even walks.
About: I love taking care of my family, friends, and coworkers pets. Seeing the joy form in the dog’s faces when I meet their needs is so accomplishing. I’d love to take care of yours!

I love taking care of pets and every dog I have cared for is always excited to see me again. I can’t wait to meet your puppy!
“Samantha is absolutely AMAZING. Her experience and expertise proved to be a true necessity with my Lil Chip. This was my first time leaving my lil guy and it was a rough time for him. He "told" me, Samantha treated him wonderfully. 😉 Plus she sent pics. I was worried but her communication definitely put my mind at ease.”

About: I’m active, patient, and reliable. I run regularly, enjoy long walks, and make sure high-energy dogs get proper exercise and attention. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages :) Pet care fits easily into my routine as a nursing student. I’m available early mornings and most afternoons after noon, making walks, runs, and check-ins easy to schedule. I stick closely to each pet’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I focus on safe walks, exercise, playtime, and lots of attention.
