Dog Sitting in Melbourne

“Ruth is wonderful! She has stopped in for visits on many occasions and she always goes above and beyond. I highly recommend her as a trusted and dog-loving sitter!”

“Ebony has been a life saver for my family and I! My dogs are getting old and cannot be left home alone for extended period of time without some love and a potty break. She comes to my house every day that I work and does just that. My dogs get excited and meet her at the door, knowing that they are going to get some attention and a well deserved walk around the block. She has even brought over another 4 legged friend for my pups to enjoy some time with! She is very trustworthy, respects your home and your animals, and I cannot recommend her enough.”

About: Hi, I’m Lex! I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and currently share my days with two pit bulls, Ted and Wayne, who have taught me patience, structure, and just how much personality one dog can have. I’m also very familiar with dogs who need a little extra reassurance, consistency, or space to warm up. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels, from laid-back couch companions to dogs who need long walks, enrichment, and routine. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic medications, crate routines, and reinforcing any training you’re already working on at home. I’m attentive, calm, and detail-oriented, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos, and communication while you’re away. Whether your dog needs a reliable walker, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! — Lex I just arrived in Florida and am in the process of settling in, so my schedule is very flexible right now. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I’m able to plan my days around walks, feedings, drop-ins, and quality time. Since I’m not juggling another job at the moment, I can be fully present and reliable, and I genuinely enjoy building my routine around caring for animals. I focus on caring for pets in their own home through walks and drop-in visits, where they’re most comfortable. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I pay close attention to energy levels and personalities, whether that means a long walk to burn energy or a calm check-in with extra affection. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean space, and feel safe and cared for, and I always send updates and photos after visits.

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was very young. I started exclusively taking care of our family dog, Lady when I was about 12. I wanted to be an animal trainer and thought she would be a perfect training dog. I taught her tons of tricks and we became inseparable. She was the first dog that I loved. I currently have two dogs. I have an elderly Powder Puff Chinese Crested (14) that is the best cuddler, and a Chihuahua mix (8) that is a sweetheart and also loves to cuddle. Both dogs like to be around and play with other dogs. I have a very flexible schedule, if you need a sitter at the last minute please don’t hesitate to contact me. I can also give medications, elder pet care, and am willing to take them to appointments when needed. I know that it is hard to leave a pet when traveling but rest assured your pet will be loved and snuggled. I also have a medium fenced in yard with lots of trees and plants to explore. The dogs are always supervised while outside. I also have a separate sleeping or care room for pets that prefer their own space. I work full time Monday-Friday with weekends free. Drop off times during the week are before 8:00 am or after 5:00 pm. Drop off times on the weekend are anytime. My routine for our animals is simple, they are fed before and after work. Potty Breaks are given twice in the morning and 3-4 times at night depending on how much they want to go outside. I also offer peepads and diapering if needed. I have an extra open top crate for dogs that require it and a separate room for those that need their own space. I have a medium fenced in yard with lots of plants to explore. Outdoor time is always supervised. My dogs love to play and snuggle with other dogs. They range from 8-14 years old.

“Carol was a life saver for last minute care for my pup! She took great care of her and sent lots of pics. Highly recommend!”

“Jennifer is an incredible pet sitter! She took excellent care of our cat Arnold. My cat is generally timid around other people…but not her! Plus, she’s super responsive and communicative with detailed updates! She definitely has a way with animals. Thank you, Jennifer!!”

Marina N.

“Illian was available for my last minute drop in for my cat and she was excellent! My cat can be very skiddish but she made sure to sit with her and try and get her to come out of hiding and play a bit. So glad she was available last minute”

Michele F.

“Mindy has been wonderfully patient with my nervous, and overly energetic baby. Seeing my dog get sooo excited to see Mindy a 2nd time was such a gift. Our pup thinks Mindy is now her special friend, there to visit her.”

Jennifer K.

“Everything went well! Will definitely book again!”

Kristen T.

“Had a great experience working with Cyndy. She was so quick to respond and followed my instructions perfectly. My cat Neko liked her immediately too and seemed totally at ease with her at their first meeting. I would definitely book with her again!”

Tania B.

“Shelby was amazing! She was scheduled for 2 visits a day for 2 days when family was visiting from out of state with their 10 month old puppy. She was prompt, spent a good amount of time with the puppy on her visits and sent the most precious pictures at every visit. Don’t hesitate to call Shelby, I highly recommend her!”

Bonnie B.

“Nicole was amazing with our furry children. She made sure our one got her medication each day and all the photos were so reassuring. I can tell she loves animals especially cats and they love her also as was seen in the pictures. Would definitely use her again. I feel both we and our kitties have a new friend.”

Terry Ann F.

“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: I love animals of all shapes and sizes! I recently completed my PhD in Oceanography and was previously licensed as a veterinary technician with over 10 years paid pet sitting experience. I have 2 cats of my own, but also love dogs, exotic pets, and pocket pets. I have even worked with both farm and zoo animals! I am caring, outgoing, and reliable and will treat your furry friends like my own! I am active and love taking my clients for long walks or spending extended playtime in the backyard. I will provide photo and video updates to help ease those worried minds. Whether you are looking for overnight care or drop-in walks, you and your pets can feel safe knowing you chose someone with an extensive medical and behavioral background. I just graduated with my PhD in Oceanography and am taking some time off before starting a post-doc role at Florida Tech meaning I have a flexible schedule and daytime availability. I am currently taking some time off after my PhD before starting a research position at Florida Tech so I make my own hours and can be available at the times that work best for your pet. I always make sure clients' homes and pets are treated safely and respectfully. I begin with a meet and greet session to make get to know you, your pet, and your home and make sure we will be a good fit. When I come to a clients home I always follow the directions they provide me and provide plenty of pictures and videos during my visits.

“Michelle was awesome! Our cats are skittish and don't normally come out when strangers are here. On the meet and greet all 3 came out and allowed her to pet them! That told me a lot about what kind of person she is. The diaries were great. I could tell our babies were at ease. They were well taken care of. I'd use here every time.”

Karen H.

“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.”

Brooke S.

“We had another perfect experience with Kristen! This is the second time Kristen has taken care of our kitty, and we’re so happy we found her because she makes it so easy and worry-free. She is always reliable, communicative, and so considerate!”
