Can u guess what animals live here?

We are a family of 4 humans and lots of 4 legged friends who love to enjoy time with your little one! We also have Chickens, a goat and pigs on a separate portion of the property :) so fresh eggs always come with a dog sitting 😉 We foster dogs & Cats through Their Lives Matter animal rescue inc. From week to week we could have different animals in our home so please ask and I’ll keep you updated on who we are currently fostering! We have experience caring for ALL TYPES OF ANIMALS! See our family care pics! (We have had more types of animals In the past! Our dogs usually enjoy a river or beach walk or a nice squirrel chase in the mango orchard portion here at our house in the mornings or evening. Our immediate yard is privacy fenced with a doggy door (that can be closed or separated from cats or indoor only animals if necessary) so the dogs have access at will to the outdoors. If we come to you and it is allowed, my kids also LOVE to help care, walk and love on your little one with me! So you get 3 (or 4 of Daddy is home that week) sets of hands that pet for the price of one 😉. Feel free to message with ANY and all questions!

House Sitting • Sep 29, 2025

Karessa was excellent with our dog, 2 cats and our house. Everything went smoothly and Bailey & cats were happy. She did everything we asked, kept us up to date on animals and sent pictures. Plus we came home to a spotless house! We will definitely be using Karessa again and recommend her to everyone.

Super helpful with willing to work with my husband and I coming from out of state! Took amazing care of my two female dogs! 8 month old Pitbull and 3 month old beagle. Took awesome pictures of my dogs! And was able to give them a fun experience! So thankful and will totally be using her again when we come back to Florida.

Karessa was highly recommend to me by my veterinarian when I needed someone for my Annabelle to stay with one week of the month each month while I worked out of town. Karessa came the week before I started working to get to know my pets (one of my dogs does not like strangers). Both of my dogs warmed up to her immediately because she knew how to handle them from her past experience with other rescue animals. Then we went to her home another day to get to know her two cuties and their animals. Now a few months in and Annabelle knows when I grab my suitcase she is headed for her party time week and runs to the door to get to their house as fast as possible! So relaxing knowing she is in safe hands and seeing all the pics and video I get while I’m away each month is GREAT!

Karessa has been coming once a day Monday-Wednesday to let our dogs out and take them for a walk for months! We tried another petsitting service before and always had accidents to clean up. I haven't had to clean up one accident when I got home from work since Karessa started! She is reliable and an amazing lady/ family b/c her husband and girls are amazing as well! I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a petsitter.

No preference, I just need to know if a male is neutered if it is one of the weeks we are caring for our regular chihuahua boarder, Yoda who is NOT spayed.
