About: With 5 years of experience as a pet sitter, I have developed a deep passion for providing loving and responsible care to animals. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to maintain their routines, give them attention, and provide a calm environment. I am committed to offering dependable care built on trust, patience, and genuine love for animals! Pet care fits naturally into my routine, allowing me to provide dependable and attentive care. I keep my schedule organized so I can be flexible with visits, walks, and overnight stays whenever possible. My goal is to give every pet the time, attention, and affection they deserve while keeping owners updated for complete peace of mind. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner's instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any special needs. I take time to build trust with every pet, creating a calm and loving environment where they feel safe and cared for. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or mine, I'll treat them like a member of my own family and keep you updated with photos and messages throughout every visit.

I participate in local events, fundraising and Hound Around Town monthly. I have since expanded my efforts with Husky Haven of Florida as a transport for rescues. I’ve worked at Disney’s pet resort & dog daycare in downtown Orlando. 💯 My base rate listed on my profile covers standard, high-quality care (feeding, potty breaks, and companionship). Since I am a certified dog trainer, the context described above is offered as an active Training Add-On Package for an extra $15 per day. Just be sure to brief me in your contact message and we can discuss together further in detail. With dog training as my core, and having an Executive Assistant professional background of over 20 years, calendar maintenance comes natural and my availability is easily workable around varying schedules. If I’m not at the dog park or training, I can be available for services as necessary. I focus on science-backed methods that are mindful and effective, while integrating enrichment, affection, stimulation (both mentally and physically), rest breaks, sniffy walks, play time and cuddles. I prioritize the pet parents requests and instructions, aligned with fulfillment that meets the dog’s foundational needs.

About: Growing up I’d help my godmother with her dog and I still help with her new dog but ever since I fell in love with them Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for pets of all kinds. I’m currently raising and training a puppy of my own, so I understand the patience, attention, consistency, and love that goes into helping pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or just some extra love while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I treat every pet like family and take the time to learn their personality, routine, and individual needs. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in caring, responsible hands. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pet! 🐶🐱❤️ No matter the service I’m doing I’ll make sure your pets are well taken care of in every aspect and always staying safe in my card

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life and my happiest memories involve animals. I know your pets are your children, and I will treat them as such. I’ve had experience with everything from pet frogs to kittens to a 150 pound Great Pyrenees. I loved them all and I will love your pets, too. I am happy to swing by to check on your pets, or to stay the night to make sure they and your home is okay while you’re away. Please don’t hesitate to message me if you have any questions or comments, I’d be happy to answer them! I work remotely from home in Winter Garden, so I am happy to stay the day with your fur babies and work from your home or stop by throughout the day - whatever you prefer! I have three cats at home and, unfortunately, they do not love dogs as much as I do, so I will need to care for your canine friends from your home. I love animals and I would love to care for your pets as I care for my own!

About: I grew up with cats, but began to be around dogs in my 20s. I owned my own for 16 years along with my cat for 20. I have studied behavior analysis and used some of the techniques with my dog. I have been pet/house sitting for years. I’m currently working part time so I am available for walks/drop ins/overnights and even for longer stays. I like keeping busy and being around animals! I have cared for pets in a variety of homes with a variety of duties, ranging from just checking on a cat, to taking dogs for multiple walks, administering medications, checking mail, watering plants, taking out trash/recycling and feeding fish.

About: I am a vet student in school and I have been caring for my 6 animals for more than 10 years. You can trust me I will be very careful, responsible, and loving towards your animals. I work a part time job as a barista and my mornings and weekends are usually free so I will have a lot of time free to do what I love most and care for your animals! I will care for your animals at your home by feeding/walking them on time and I can put them to bed in their crate if needed or if not then they’ll have a safe space to get their zoomies out and relax!

“Danielle was a real life-saver by taking the booking at the last minute due to another cancellation hours before I was leaving town. She was able to meet with me quickly and understood Coco’s care needs. Everything was completed as requested and I returned to find Coco calm and happy! Also enjoyed seeing the pictures and reading the notes from each visit. Great experience with Danielle!”

About: I will love your pups. (Or kitties!) ALMOST as much as you. I only say “Almost” because, let’s face it, they are YOUR babies. I totally understand being a doggie mama of 2 fur babies myself. I will treat your pets like they are my own. Also, if you are anything like me, I want you to know that you WILL be getting regular updates. I hate being anxious about my babies when I’m away from them. So don’t worry, I got you! I currently work from home, and I can chose the hours I work. So, when my boyfriend said “no” to another pet, I found a workaround: Rover! Now, I can help you with a peace of mind, while spending time with MORE fur babies! It’s a win-win for everyone! I currently work from home, and I can chose the hours I work. I have the freedom to chosen when it’s time for a break to spend time with spend time with your baby. And I also have had animals around me since I was old enough to breathe. (From day 1.)

About: I’m the kind of person who can’t walk past a dog without saying hello. I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every pet like they’re part of the family. Whether your pup wants an adventure, a game of fetch, or just someone to snuggle up with, I’m happy to match their energy and routine. I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your furry best friend is getting lots of love, attention, and belly rubs while you’re away. ❤️🐾 One thing pet parents love is that my schedule gives me a lot of flexibility. I work three appointments a week (10, 2, and 6), and I’m typically only out for 1–2 appointments a day, which means I spend a lot of time at home. I also have alternating weekends off (Saturday/Sunday, then Sunday/Monday), giving me even more availability for quality time with your pet. I have a dog of my own, Honey, so I’m used to keeping a consistent routine with walks, potty breaks, meals, playtime, and lots of love. I know how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away, and I do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. Honey is my world, so I completely understand how nerve-racking it can be to leave your pet in someone else’s care. Our days are built around walks, meals, playtime, and plenty of cuddle time, and I love keeping her routine consistent because I know how much dogs thrive on that. Caring for Honey has taught me to pay attention to the little things—whether it’s noticing a change in behavior, knowing when they need extra comfort, or just figuring out what makes their tail wag the most. When your pet is with me, I want them to feel just as loved and cared for as they do at home. I’ll treat them like one of my own, stick to their routine, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they’re happy, safe, and getting lots of love while you’re away.

“Diane did drop-in visits for our pets Kiba, Nigel and Maryanne this past weekend and did an absolutely phenomenal job. She was communicative, reliable, and clearly attentive to their individual needs every time she came by. It's not always easy to leave your pets at home, but Diane made the whole experience stress-free from start to finish. We came back to two happy, healthy, well-looked-after pets — which says everything. If you're looking for a pet sitter who genuinely cares and takes the job seriously, look no further. Highly recommend!”

About: I have previously worked for a pet company where I needed to follow a strict protocol for watching an animal. Between walks, feeding, exercising, playing, administering medicine etc which I would follow when caring for your pet along with having my own at home. My fiancé is also a trainer so we have a lot of experience with almost every breed and different temperaments. I am currently not working, so I would have all the time in the world to care and play with your pups. I am looking for long term or short term depending on your needs. I am very flexible and a quick responder. I have a house that is completely fenced in the back yard. Not only will I just be available to give your pups love but I also have two pups as well they can play with ! They get along with everyone! They are very playful but they can also be lazy couch potatoes. ( if your dog does not get along with other dogs I will relocate mine for the time being so your furry friend is as comfortable and relaxed as can be!)
