About: I’ve adored animals my entire life and have taken care of many different types of pets for the last 15 years ranging from my neighbors cats and dogs, to my friends reptiles, and my many pets over the years. Consisting of walking, playing, feeding, bathing, and occasionally overnight stays with their animals. I’ve owned many fish, hamsters, a bunny, duck, and 6 dogs over the course of my life. For the past 8 years I’ve been raising my two beautiful female Rottweilers who are giant teddy bears, full of energy and love. I’m currently working around my full-time job. If you’re looking for care outside of my availability, send me a message and I’ll do my best to accommodate you. Availability: Sunday after 7pm Monday after 5pm Tuesday before noon Wednesday ALL DAY Thursday after 5pm Friday after 3pm Saturday ALL DAY As of now, I offer both dog walking and day visits at your home, and will eventually be offering dog boarding services. I am physically fit to keep up with your dogs no matter their energy level and will give them plenty of exercise during walks throughout your neighborhood or a nearby park.

About: I've had cats and dogs my whole life. Worked at a vet office and going to college to become a veterinarian. Good with puppies, kittens, any old pups and cats too. Able to give medication if needed or just the care and attention they need. I'm part time at a veterinary clinic, so I have quite a bit of free time and I make sure to fit things into my schedule. I love animals so I would be willing to stay with your pet for a while each time. I make sure everyone is fed, has water, gone on walks or even just run around. I play with the animals for a bit and depending if you want me to stay longer at the house I can spend time with the baby.
About: I have pet and house sat over the last ten years. I have grown up with and cared for dogs, cats, fish, free range chickens and even an African grey parrot. I am dependable and trust-worthy. I will love your pet(s), have the utmost respect for your home, and bring a strong work ethic. Please disclose all specifics for care and training of your fur babies. I will be sure to provide my best care, ensuring continuity to help keep your pet(s) the most at ease during your absence. You don’t have to worry about me leaving daily to work. I’m employed with a temp agency, and I don’t have any assignments at this time. When contacted, my assignments are typically hybrid or remote. I have a 2018 Sedan with leather seats, which is consistently cleaning, serviced, and maintained. I have a clean driving record and drive very cautiously.
About: From the age of 10 I have had pets. Ranging from fish to dogs and cats, I’ve had many kinds of pets. I am only wanting to care for cats currently and I have 2 cats myself. No dogs I am a bodybuilder so if doing an overnight visit I will need the availability to have 2 hours to workout but that is all. I feed, play, clean the litter box, pet, and do everything that is needed for the cats. I am not a lazy cat sitter and I try to tire them out with wand play, laser, and cat tv as well.
About: I specialize in cat services as I have two of my own and have taken care of countless others but also LOVE dogs and have experience taking care of my family's dogs and many others! I can't wait to meet your fur babies <3 I work from home and am free to work around when pets need to be taken care of. Your babies needs will always be prioritized. Prior to taking care of your pets, I will require a meet and greet to meet your babies as well as to get up to date on all of your requirements for your pets. As an experienced cat mom of two, I am excellent at opening doors slowly and closing behind me quickly so that there are no mischievous escapees! I am also able to administer medication if needed for your cats. For dogs, I don't have any of my own yet but have plenty of experience with watching my family, friends', and clients' dogs. I will always keep them on leash while we are outside unless we are at a dog park and can read body language very well. If temperatures are hot out, I will always test the asphalt before bringing your baby out. We will only walk in grass if it's too hot out.
About: I’ve always loved being around cats and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m patient and gentle, especially with cats that may be shy or need time to warm up. I can help with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and giving them plenty of attention. I’ll treat every cat like they’re my own and make sure they’re happy while their owner is away. I currently work at night at Publix but I have open availability in the morning and I can work around my schedule. And make time for your animal I always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable while in my care. In a client’s home, I follow their routine and instructions closely, keep their space clean, and make sure they have fresh food and water. I’m respectful of both the pet and the owner’s home, and I’ll give plenty of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away.
“German was the perfect walking companion for my pup Rockie! He was communicative and flexible! Rockie looked like he had the best time on his little walk. It was clear my dog was in the hands of someone who is truly knowledgeable and caring!”

About: Hello there! My name is Jossi, I have over five years of professional experience caring for animals through various daycare/boarding facilities and a service dog training facility. Along with my personal passion for animals and nature. Over the years, I have had the privilege to gain knowledge in many different aspects of Animal Welfare! I am trained on dosing different medications, Animal CPR/ First Aid, and medically needed restrictive activity. I have knowledge in managing special quirks in fur-babies (resource guarding, playing keep away, mouthiness, etc) and I take pride in providing a safe environment for your pet to explore and learn how to redirect energy into productive outlets. This is supplemented with tons of enrichment to promote mental stimulation and small tips to help owners understand pet needs so that we can team up to create a setting for pets to be happy and healthy! I am a big communicator and love to keep parents updated on their pets, I know how stressful it can be being away from your fur-babies, rest assured I will do whatever I can (within reason) to ensure the comfort of everyone. I am also very honest and if I feel I am not a good fit, I will communicate that as soon as I know. I strive to create an open and tolerant environment for families and look forward to welcoming new families into the pack! A little about me: I have always loved wildlife and being in nature. I am a big adventurer and love to explore new areas. I am okay handling an array of different critters. I have had everything from hamsters, ferrets, and birds to cats and dogs of all sizes. I currently have a large dog (Cotufo), three kitties (Critter, Wybie, & Stitch) and a Bearded Dragon (Tater Tot). Outside of my love for nature, I spend my time playing games, watching films, and being creative through various outlets! I currently work part time but my schedule allows me to have Mondays and Tuesdays off. I can accommodate some other services around my work schedule, feel free to message me for more information! Before your fur-babies are in my care, I like to ask questions about expectations to the client and give them the opportunity to ask me questions and clarify any topics we would need to talk through. I prefer to do a meet and greet and allow the pet to warm up to me as naturally as possible. While in my care, I keep pet parents updated on activities, routines, and any changes in their pets that might come up.
About: I’ve spent several years providing exercise and enrichment for my friends and roommates pets, going on walks and watching them during their owners vacations. Over the last 10 years my partner, I’ve adopted her dog Kiwi, Goldendoodle now 15yr old, and our second dog in covid together with Mr.Kangaroo, mixed small breed now 6yr old. We now still help both our friends and families with dog walks, daycares, or longer stays. Im currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time at home to play with your pups! I’m available for boardings on weekends, and weekdays for daycare. I have a flexible schedule for early or late availability can be arranged with some early notice. Our home has a fenced in yard with dog door access and plenty of yard space for exercises/play with our two dogs to keep your pups company and provide some encouraging energy. We have a pool for swimming and walking paths/parks near my home for short or long walks. If needed we can easily provide separation within our home for privacy or anxiety with crates and dog fences.

You can count on me for punctuality, communication, and plenty of updates so you always know how your best buddy is doing. If you’re looking for someone who goes the extra mile (literally!) and brings good vibes to every visit, I’d love to help care for your pet. I've had my own pets and taken care of neighbors pets, family and friends pets, and voluteered at shelter from time to time. I walk dogs, long and lingering, letting them smell everything! It's like their morning paper, they "read" up on the neighborhood. I go different routes for variety! I'll throw a ball, try to teach paw, and give lots of cuddles and kisses. I even sing to the lucky dogs and cats! Some sing with me! I am ready any day after I get off work, around 7pm. Perfect for an evening walk with owners who may be in the medical or hospitality field and work nights. Or on my day's off which are Thursday and Sunday. Anytime on those days. My home has a comfy couch or bed. I have a huge yard at the end of a road so no traffic! We'll fur sure leash walk though so no worries! I’m reliable, warm, and always ready with a happy tune or a squeaky toy. Expect cheerful updates, cute photos, and a pet who can’t wait for their next Tammy-time.

Alex has been a joy to work with!! Maddix is absolutely in love with her and I don't know what I'd do without her! She is reliable, respectful, knowledgeable and a great communicator. She goes above and beyond! She is flexible and willing to work with you. I trust her with Maddix and my home. Everyone needs an Alex in their life! Thanks Alex, for being a life saver and caring so much for Maddix!

Loved Skyler! Super nice and responsible, she took care of my big Goldendoodle and, despite the bad weather, she did great and never missed checking on my dog at my house. On my return, my dog looked happy and got super excited when she stopped by to bring the house keys, which told me he loved her as well… that says it all!!! Will definitely use her again and recommend🫶🏻.
