Dog Sitting Melbourne Beach

About: Like many others‚ I've been around animals my whole life, and while being a pet owner naturally teaches you about responsibility and how to take care of an animal, what really helped prepare me and build my confidence to provide reliable professional pet care was working in animal care facilities․ I began working as a kennel technician during my senior year of high school, where I was responsible for feeding animals, administering medications, cleaning kennels, and ensuring each pet received the attention and care they needed․ When I started college, I continued working seasonally during breaks, but eventually transitioned into a job that tailored my college needs. Throughout high school though, I continuously pet-sat for some family friends. I am currently a junior at Florida Tech․ I work as a customer service representative and animal care attendant at Dogspot Hotel․ The great thing about working at the Dogspot Hotel is that I get to interact with clients and their dogs‚ and provide the best service for each animal․ I am comfortable administering oral and injectable medications including insulin‚ as well as handling animals with a variety of medical conditions and behavioral issues․ A little extra about me, I have three dogs, three cats, and a Russian tortoise! When school starts up again in August‚ I will be a full-time college student at Florida Tech and working part-time․ My class schedule will be set‚ but my job is very flexible and I will be able to work around my class schedule․ Classes are scheduled mainly four days a week‚ with a mix of morning and afternoon availability. This gives me more flexibility to care for pets, including check-ins throughout the day, or overnight in the case of boarding․ I currently live in Melbourne‚ in the house that I rent with my roommates‚ and while my roommates have no problems with me having pets, our landlord has stated that they do not allow pets in the house. So any pet care would have to take place outside of my home.

“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.”

“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: I grew up in a busy household with seven siblings, along with two cats and two dogs, so caring for animals was part of my everyday life from an early age. As one of only two boys in the family, I often took on the responsibility of handling the more hands-on tasks, like feeding, cleaning, walking, and making sure our pets stayed happy and healthy. Neighbors quickly noticed how comfortable and reliable I was with animals, and I began helping them with pet care and housesitting as well. What started as helping out around the neighborhood turned into a steady source of income throughout high school and college. Over the years, I’ve cared for a wide variety of pets and situations, and I genuinely enjoy the responsibility. Pet care never felt like a chore to me — it’s something I’ve always loved doing, and I take pride in making sure every animal feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. As a college student, I crafted my schedule around Tuesdays and Thursdays. I don't have anything on Mon-Wed-Fri. Plus, weekends are off. I work 6-8 pm Mondays through Thursdays. I have a fenced-in backyard, I love going on walks, and I have years of experience giving cats or dogs medicine. Whatever your animal needs, I'm sure I can do it!

“I can't recommend Kathryn enough! Not only did she take amazing care of our (very) difficult cat, she stepped in with very little notice when our care fell through during our trip. She is a caring and reliable sitter and we would book again with her in a heartbeat. She even made progress with our cat who is wary of strangers and was already stressed.”

“Poor Michelle had to deal with a medical emergency with my cat day one. She was so great providing comfort to him during his episode. Thank goodness she was there to do that and give me really valuable information so we could get him treated. You can tell she cares about animals! Thank you so much for your service! Recommend ***”

“Very professional and definitely knows what she’s doing when it comes to puppy/dog and very communicative with us the whole time! 100% recommend Ruth!”

About: I’ve always had a big love for animals and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets of all personalities. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll care for yours like they’re my own. I' currently not working, so my schedule is flexible, which allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I do my best to accommodate each client’s schedule whenever possible. I make sure every pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve during each visit. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions provided by owners, including feeding schedules, medication, walking preferences, and home routines. I make it a priority to create a calm, comfortable environment where pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Teri was awesome and took great care of our senior cat!! She communicated well and sent cute pictures of Nomi everyday. Made our trip stress free knowing our cat was so well cared for and will definitely use her again for future trips!!”

About: I recently worked at the Florida Wildlife Hospital as an animal care technician! There I worked with vet techs and Doctors to rehab and release wildlife! I have experience in medical procedures involving wildlife and daily care of animal patients. I have been caring for Dogs, Cats, and Rodents since I was really young. That combined with my experience at The Florida Wildlife Hospital, I know I am capable of the care your furry friends need! From dogs as small as Teacup Yorkies to as giant as Great Danes, we have owned them and I know their needs! I have helped raise and train puppies, worked with foster dogs, and cared intentionally for senior dogs. I also have experience with many animals in the house at once, we frequented about 6 at a time! Over my travels the last few years, I have been able to help countless families care for their pets while they were away, and it is my passion to give them each the care they need to the best of my abilities. I will sacrifice time, energy, and anything your pet needs to stay healthy and THRIVING! p.s. I also have experience caring for and working with horses if that applies! When I am invited into your home to care for your pets you can rest assured that they will be loved and taken care of. I make sure my schedule fits around when they need to go for walks, to go potty, to eat, etc. And you can expect upon return that your home will be cared for too. I will always clean, collect the mail, water your plants if you desire, put the rubbish bins on the street, wash the bedding and towels I use, etc!

About: Hello, I'm Corey. I'm ready to work for you and your dogs/cats. Very knowledgeable on all animals! I have had animals for my whole life, ranging from dogs and cats to horses and others. I have been dog training for a few years and am currently in the process of training my dog to be my service dog. If training is something you're interested in, we can discuss that option also. I also worked for a kennel for a bit as well. I'm a great multitasker. I love all animals. I would love to talk more about your needs that you need met. Feel free to contact me. hope to hear from you soon! Holidays, weekends, etc all okay if you want to get away for a bit!

About: I have had cats and dogs my entire 42 years of life and worked as a Veterinary Technician for 16 of them! I’m here for simple walks and drop ins to watching your pets while you’re away and medication administration and senior care! Currently pet sitting only so my schedule is available Monday - Friday and some weekends. Very open to you and your pets needs and working around your schedule! I am very mindful of my clients homes as well as the safety of their pets. I also provide photo updates and text check ins with every visit.

“I had to go out of town on short notice and needed someone to take Lotus out in the morning for a walk and give her breakfast. I found Tina and she was awesome! She kept me informed and took great pictures and did a great job. I booked her for a 30 minute drop-in for two days and would definitely do it again. Thank you Tina.”

About: Hi! Im Andrea. I moved down to Vero Beach Dec ‘21 from North Dakota and now making my way up to Melbourne! I’m loving the florida life! Beaches are wayy better here. Back in north dakota i had 3 families I would pet set for. Ranging from small to big, lazy to extremely hyper I can handle it all! I’ve had many pets from 4 cats at time, a snake, to 3 cats and a dog, and now two cats. Please let me hangout with your animals before I go rescue every furbaby at the shelter. Open availability in September/October besides weekends. I work 12 hour shifts in east/central melbourne area, can most likely work out a potty break in that time if needed:) I have experience in residential Window Cleaning in high value properties in the Vero Beach area, I always have the upmost respect for another persons home, animals, and property. I can do small cleaning jobs as well for an additional price. I’m not willing to stay in another’s home overnight until a couple meet ups with pets and their owners for personal safety and comfortability reasons.

“It seems that everything went well. I was concerned because Watson has a few behavior issues but it seems he and Max got along fine. Thank you for the photos.”

“Very attentive and kind couple. Will definitely be using them again for our Kitties. Thank you!”

About: Hi! My name is SJ! I always wanted to find someone reliable, kind, gentle and understanding to watch my own girls when I needed to go out of town. So I decided to be that for others who may also need a lil help in the puppy department. Trusting someone with your fur babies is one of the hardest things... Let me help take that stress off of your shoulders. Leave a detailed message on how to care for your fur baby and I got you! I treat every animal as if it were a human. Dogs especially always find their way to me 😂 I'm basically Ms. Rachel , but for dogs 🤣 I can be available for drop in visits, or some in-home sitting, let me know what you need. No worries! For some reason my rates are all over the place on this app and there's no way for me to update them I keep it easy and the same for everyone. 20 per visit +10 for additional pets. Example: 1 dog + 3 visits = 60. 2 dogs + 3 visits = 90. Message me or text to book I'm an Uber Driver and a local musician so I occasionally play music around Brevard county but I have plenty of time for your pets! My girls are set in their daily routines. I come and go throughout the day. I have a semi fenced yard (the rest is a natural barrier) our girls stay in the garden and don't ever leave the premises. It's a garden/dog park in our backyard. In your home, I would just need very clear directions on what your expectation is and I can follow that guideline with no problem :) My time is spent with your pet playing, feeding, walking, or just being there for some human interaction. I can clean up anything while I'm there for you. Just think of me as your assistant. Let me know what I can do to make your pet/day a little easier.
