Pet care experience

Animal lover at heart

I’ve been around animals my entire life and have loved and cared for dogs since I was a little boy. Animals have always been an important part of my life, and over the years I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for many different types of pets. I grew up with dogs, including my German Shepherd, who was part of our family for an incredible 18 years. Caring for her throughout every stage of her life taught me a lot about the responsibility, patience, compassion, and commitment that come with caring for an animal. My experience goes far beyond dogs. Over the years, I’ve cared for cats, rabbits, fish, birds, and many other animals. I also have years of experience riding and spending time around horses, so I’m comfortable around larger animals as well. I’m comfortable with everyday pet-care responsibilities such as feeding, providing fresh water, dog walking, playtime, companionship, cleaning litter boxes and cages, and following each owner’s individual care instructions and routines. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether I’m taking a dog for a walk, keeping a cat company in their own home, caring for smaller pets, or spending time around horses, I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and respect. I understand that pets are family, and when someone trusts me with their animal, I want them to feel confident knowing their pet is being cared for by someone who truly loves animals.

I have had the opportunity to have Anthony care for my animals, and I can honestly say that he is one of the most naturally caring and compassionate people I have ever met. Anthony follows instructions carefully and takes the responsibility of caring for animals very seriously. When my dog was a puppy and needed to go outside during the night, Anthony didn't hesitate to set an alarm and get up for those middle-of-the-night potty breaks, no matter how many times it was needed. He understood that caring for a puppy meant putting the puppy's needs first. He was also extremely respectful of my instructions regarding food and feeding schedules. I am very particular about what my animals eat, and Anthony followed my directions completely and made sure they received exactly what I asked for. But what really sets Anthony apart is that his love for animals goes far beyond caring for someone's pets. He has personally gone with me to help feed and safely catch stray cats so they could become part of Palm Beach County's community cat program and receive spaying and neutering. He has always been willing to help animals who don't have someone looking out for them. My German Shepherd/Chow mix absolutely adored Anthony, and the feeling was completely mutual. Anthony loved him deeply and treated him with so much patience, affection, and respect. Anthony has a genuinely gentle soul. Animals aren't just something he enjoys, they are something he truly cares about. I would trust him with my pets, my home, and the responsibility that comes with caring for animals, and I would recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a compassionate and dependable pet sitter.

I have personally hired Anthony to care for my home and my animals while I travel each year, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about the care he provides. Anthony has cared for my fish, my cat, two dogs, including my Boston Terrier and Australian Cattle Dog, four birds, including my Macaw and African Grey, and my two tortoises. These aren't simply animals he has "watched." He has genuinely cared for them, loved them, played with them, fed them, and made sure each of them received the individual attention they needed. What stands out most to me is the relationship he has with them. They know Anthony, they trust him, and they genuinely love him. When he walks into my home, the animals actively look for him and get excited to see him. That says everything to me. I trust Anthony completely in my home and with the animals who are so important to me. He is patient, gentle, attentive, and responsible, and he takes the time to make sure each animal feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Having someone stay in my home and care for such a variety of animals requires an incredible level of trust, and Anthony has earned mine completely. I wouldn't hesitate to have him care for my animals again, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets as more than just a job. He truly cares about animals, and they seem to know it. ❤️

I’ve known Anthony for years and have trusted him with my two Goldendoodles on many occasions. He has cared for them for everything from daytime check-ins to extended stays, including staying with them for three weeks while my family was traveling in Europe. Knowing they were with someone I completely trusted gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. Anthony is dependable, responsible, caring, and genuinely great with animals. My dogs are always comfortable and happy with him, and I never have to worry about whether they are being well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Anthony to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and reliable to care for their pets.

It’s what I wanna do full-time. I love working with animals. I love taking care of them. I love playing with them talking to them walking them grooming them sometimes ironically, I find them to be better than people.
