About: I’ve taken care of multiple different pets for family, friends, neighbors and would love to help with yours too! I have been pet sitting since I was 14 and will treat your fur baby with all the love possible. I have 2 dogs of my own, a 3 year old Australian Sheppard and a 7 month old mini Aussie who are constantly craving more activities. They get daily walks with park trips, car drives, and lots of time to play in the yard with all their toys. I take pets on multiple walks, park visits, and give lots of loving. I am very flexible and work around the dogs/owners needs and wants!

Channing knew my English bulldog "Muriel" suffers from separation anxiety, and handled her in-home visits perfectly. Channing was a terrific pet-sitter, I'll use her services again, and if you live in the North Port area, you should too!

Cameron did a few drop ins while we were on vacation. She did an amazing job at handing our crazy crew, including a puppy. I received tons of photos which eased my anxiety being away from them. She followed their routines and was always very responsive when messaging with me :)

About: I love dogs and am able to work with all breeds. I discovered a knack for connecting with dogs while dog-sitting for a family member a couple of years ago. Since being laid off, I've decided that I'll indulge in my passion and help pet owners keep their furry loved ones happy and healthy. Pet sitting is a part-time gig at about 30 hours/week for me. I am currently available anytime to drop in and check on your pet, as long as there is at least a 2 hour notice! If you need to drop your pet off, please provide a 24 hour notice. Pet sitting is something that must be prepared for, so please communicate with me your pet needs and I'll make sure to get them. I ensure you pet is comfortable and secure in your home location, and that they aren't lacking anything. Also will ensure pets have ample play, walks and interaction as that will keep them happy and healthy. All safety precautions are taken (i.e. leashes, ensuring enclosures are tight, etc). I am committed to ensuring your remains happy and healthy while you have to be away.

About: I have over five years of experience, caring for pets for family, friends, and others in my community, providing dependable, loving care while their owners are away. In addition to my pet sitting experience, I’ve had dogs my entire life, so I’m very comfortable with daily routines, like walking, feeding, administering basic care, and recognizing pets needs and behaviors. I also currently have a cat, and I have been caring for her for the past five years, which has given me experience with feline care, litter box maintenance, and understanding cats unique personalities. I’m known for being calm, patient, and nurturing, which helps pets feel safe and comfortable. I take the time to build trust with each animal and treat them like they’re part of my own family. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and needs a gentle approach, I adjust my care to meet their individual needs. Caring for pets is my full-time focus right now, so I’m able to dedicate my days to providing attentive, reliable, and loving care. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or simply giving affection and companionship, I can adjust my schedule to meet your pets needs. I’m happy to offer consistent routines, plenty of attention, and flexible care to ensure your pets feel safe, happy, and well loved while you’re away. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment for every pet I care for. Right now, I focus on drop-in visits, daily walks, and in-home care at the clients home. I make sure each pet feels comfortable and secure while I’m there, following your routines and any special instructions you provide. I am attentive to pets needs, monitor their behavior closely, and ensure a safe, loving environment. In the future, I plan to offer extended in-Home stays if needed, always maintaining the same level of care, attention, and respect to your home and pets.

About: I have experience caring for puppies, sick/elderly dogs, and everything in between! My passion and love for dogs is undeniable and never wavers. Dogs have always been my life and I recently lost my dog, so I’m looking to love on other people’s fur babies for the time being. I currently work a full time job Monday-Friday, but my weekends are completely free. I am available all weekend long, week nights and very early mornings on week days. I am somewhat flexible and will try my best to work with your schedule. I provide only the best and most loving care for your animals. I can crate animals, help train, take pets for long (or short) walks to keep them active, and adapt to any routine you may have!

About: Animals aren’t just pets to me. They are individuals with emotions, personalities, and needs that deserve to be understood and respected. You can feel completely at ease knowing their happiness, comfort, and safety are always my top priority. As an animal rights advocate, I approach every animal with genuine compassion and awareness, tailoring my care to who they are, not just what they need on paper. Whether they are energetic, shy, playful, or sensitive, I meet them where they are and give them the attention and love that helps them feel truly safe and seen. You can trust that I will show up consistently, follow routines closely, and create a calm, caring environment while you are away. I do not just watch animals. I connect with them, care for them, and treat them like they matter, because they do. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I structure my schedule to allow consistent time for walks, feeding, check-ins, and companionship. I generally maintain a flexible routine, which allows me to adjust based on each pet’s needs and the specific care plan we agree on. I’m intentional about not overbooking so I can stay attentive and responsive while pets are in my care. My availability can vary slightly week to week, but I prioritize clear communication and planning in advance to ensure expectations are aligned and your pet’s routine is supported as closely as possible. I aim to create a calm, safe, and comfortable environment based on each pet’s routine and personality. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I follow your instructions closely while staying attentive to how your pet is feeling. In your home, I keep things consistent with their normal schedule so they feel secure. In my home, I maintain a clean, low-stress space with close supervision and attention to safety and care. I stay mindful during walks and interactions and avoid anything that could feel overwhelming or risky. I also provide regular updates with photos and check in if anything seems off so we can decide what’s best together. I do not have pets of my own, but there are pets in the home belonging to my roommates. They are well-managed, and I take care to ensure safe, controlled interactions. I can also keep pets fully separated at all times if preferred

About: I’ve had several years of personal and professional animal care experience as a kennel technician, dog daycare host and vet technician assistant in the animal hospital atmosphere. My schedule fluctuates but I’m always off work from Saturday-Monday. I work 10 shifts during the week and my travel commute is about 1 1/2 hour per day for work. Pets will always be walked on a leash with constant supervision. Can offer long dog walks, play time at the local dog park, and spa days.

About: I grew up around many different kinds of animals, including dogs, cats, ferrets, guinea pigs, birds, fish, and horses. I have 3 years experience as a veterinary technician, and have some knowledge on caring for older pets or pets that need medication. You can count on me to treat your pet as if they’re part of my own family while you are away at work or on vacation. I’m hoping to make pet care my main focus. I am available 7 days a week. I am very flexible at the moment. Shoot me a message! :) Safety is always number one. I am very cognizant of potential issues and/or threats. I believe that screening each dog’s behavior and history is important in preventing potential issues.

My availability does vary by week depending on my work schedule but I am typically available no less than four days a week. I have plenty of experience with both big and small dogs, so whether it is going into your house to feed them, taking them outside, or playing with them, I am very comfortable.

About: Caring for animals is more than a job to me—it’s personal. For two years, I looked after a senior diabetic dog, learning how important routine, compassion, and attentiveness are for pets with special needs. I’m experienced with medication, monitoring, and providing calm, loving support so your pet feels secure and cared for at all times. I currently full time as a nurse with a very flexible schedule only working three days a week, and during that time I have off I would like to spend my time doing something meaningful. I know how important it is for your dog to feel safe and loved while you’re away. In your home, I follow their routine closely so they stay in a familiar, comforting environment. In my home, I provide a peaceful, pet-friendly space filled with care, patience, and affection. Whether I’m visiting or hosting, your dog will be treated with kindness, consistency, and genuine love

About: I was raised in a home where my mom started her pet grooming and boarding business, until it expanded to a separate building. So pets were just part of our family and daily routine! Pets bring me so much joy and love, I would love to share that with yours! I work from home, on my own time, and this is also my first year homeschooling my 2 girls! So I am very flexible and can accommodate to what ever schedule needed! I am open to what is needed! An afternoon stroll, afternoon play time, play dates, overnights, or just snuggles! Any animal time will fill my heart! My rescue cat is truly a blessing and is the kindest, most fun boy. He loves to play with balls & stuffed animals, but also loves to snuggle. I do have a screened in front porch that allows playtime in the fresh air with keeping him safe, so he loves that too (he is missing a back paw so we limit free range time outdoors to his benefit). He is part of the family and is treated like one of us!
