Dog Sitting Oakland Park

About: Over the years I have cared for a variety of animals, including domestic, exotic, and livestock. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their medically needy animals over the past decade and I am now opening that service up to Rover. I'm not a vet tech but I am comfortable and experienced administering a variety of medical treatments like insulin injections, pill regiments, eye drops/skin ointments, and subq fluids. Leaving town with a pet can be stressful, especially one that needs specialized care. I can help. Currently over all I have quite a bit of flexibility with my schedule. I have my own small business that is sporadic gig work on the weekends. Most events last 4 to 6 hours, maximum 8 hours, and not every weekend has events. I prefer to pet sit in the home the pets belong to. I find that with most animals it's incredibly stressful to move them, staying in their home with them minimalizes that stress. It also allows for easier medicine administration. I like to meet the pets and owners ahead of staying with them, this is to again reduce the stress on your pet when I show up without you as well as to observe the quality of care you are administering to your fur babies.

About: I am a kind-hearted, energetic, and dependable animal lover with a lifetime of experience caring for pets. I have owned dogs since I was born and grew up with a family cat, giving me experience caring for both dogs and cats. I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and EXXXTRA loved while you're away! I’m currently taking some time off before beginning a new job in mid-September, so I have full availability to give your furry friend the time, love, and attention they deserve. In my free time, I also volunteer at a local animal shelter because I truly love being around animals and caring for pets of all ages and personalities. 3-year experienced Physical Therapist taking time off before beginning a new position mid-September, giving me a very flexible schedule and full availability to care for your pet. Whether it's drop-in visits, walks, or overnight stays, I have plenty of time to provide the attention and love they deserve. Once I begin my new role, I'll still be available all-day Saturdays through Mondays, making long weekends a great time to book with me! I primarily provide care in clients' homes, where your pet or pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment! I will happily take the time to learn your pet's routine and follow it closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication schedule, while providing plenty of love and attention. My goal is to keep your pet/s happy, comfortable, and stress-free while you're away. I'll also keep you updated with way too many photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in great hands!

About: I've always had a deep connection with dogs. I bring a very calming canine energy, and trust is gained quickly. Anyone who has a dog(s) and knows me well will ask me to sit for them when they can't provide the care their dogs need. When I retired from my successful 45 year sales career, I had planned on getting a dog. As it's turned out, my friends and neighbors with dogs have kept me very busy. And it's been the most fulfilling and gratifying chapter of my life. I just have an innate ability to connect with dogs and what I give to them, they give back to me. It's been a very rewarding time in my life now that I get to do what I love best: to be surrounded with canine company. And I can unequivocally and honestly say I'm very good at it. As I said, I'm retired and can easily accommodate the needs of prospective clients. I'm readily available and am very flexible with you and your dog's schedules. I live in my recently renovated condo in the very upscale community of Coral Ridge in Fort Lauderdale. It's a small two-story residence easily accessible to lush parks and magnificent estate homes. We have excellent security with a Neighborhood Watch and private 24 hour Coral Ridge Patrols. Patrolling

“Jenny was so amazing with Bella!! They instantly created a bond and I am so grateful for her sweet attentive care to my kitty! She was very punctual and took such great care of my place on every visit. I loved how much Jenny would have little conversations with Bella, because my car is a talker! Jenny went above and beyond to make sure that Bella had had adequate feeding time, play time, and gave her lots of delicious treats :) I got the cutest photos, videos and updates daily for the 2 weeks I was away. My mind was completely at ease knowing Jenny would be coming daily for Bella. I truly appreciate the animal lover that she is and I will definitely rebook her! I highly recommend Jennifer to take care of your pet while you’re away❤️”

About: I have had animals (dogs, cats, livestock and more) my entire life. I grew up on a farm know what animals need and how they interact with people and other animals.

“Kristina was willing to provide extra effort during the time we were away. My wife, I, and our cats appreciated her helpfulness while our condo contractors had an unexpected schedule change impacting our unit. We will certainly contact her again when we travel next.”

About: Hi! My name is Maria. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats, which makes me a proud 'fur mom'! I’ve had dogs since I was a little girl and have always had a deep love and care for animals. No matter what is happening in our day, I always make space to follow their routines—like feeding, walks, and playtime in the afternoon—because they are my babies. They go with me almost everywhere, including long-distance road trips. I have personally cared for two elderly dogs, so I understand they need a slower and more delicate pace I stay very attentive to following medication schedules and dosages. I understand that accidents happen with age; I am very patient and always ready to clean up and keep them comfortable and dry. I must brag that I am quite good at giving relaxing massages to dogs; I’ve seen how much they enjoy them, and they always ask for more! I have experience caring for the pets of family and friends, whom I treat as part of my human-animal clan. To me, your fur baby is not just a pet—they are family—and it is an honor that you trust me to care for them. I will do everything possible to make sure they are happy so that you can feel calm and confident that they are in responsible and loving hands. Your pet isn't just a guest in my home; they become a cherished member of my clan. Let’s connect and make sure your fur baby has the happiest and fun stay possible! Hola! Mi nombre es Maria. Tengo 2 perros y 2 gatos, y por eso soy una mama orgullosa de peluditos, junto con mi esposo (que esta en foto de perfil) el cual tambien tiene anos de experiencia cuidando de mascotas. Desde nina he tenido perros, y un gran amor y cuidado por los animales. No importa que este pasando en nuestro dia, siempre hacemos espacio para poder cumplir con sus rutinas como alimentacion, paseos y juegos en la tarde, porque son nuestros bebes. Van con nosotros casi a todas partes, incluyendo viajes por carretera de larga distancia. He tenido la oportunidad de cuidar a dos perritos mayores en mi entorno personal, por lo que entiendo que requieren una atención más pausada y delicada. Me aseguro de seguir las instrucciones de sus medicamentos al pie de la letra. Y entiendo que con la edad pueden ocurrir accidentes; soy muy paciente y estoy siempre atenta para limpiar lo que sea necesario y mantenerlos cómodos. Debo presumir que soy bastante buena dando masajes rejalantes a los perros, los cuales he visto que disfrutan bastante y siempre piden mas! He tenido experiencia cuidando mascotas de familiares y amigos, los cuales tratamos como parte de nuestro clan humano-animal. Para mi tu hijo peludito no es una mascota, es tu familia y es un honor que confies en mi para poder cuidarla. Voy a hacer todo lo posible para que este feliz, y que tu puedas sentirte tranquilo y confiado que esta en manos responsables y amorosas. Tu mascota no es solo un huésped en nuestro hogar; se convierte en un miembro querido de nuestro clan. ¡Conectemos y asegurémonos de que tu bebé tenga la estancia más feliz y divertida posible! Pet care isn't just a job for me; it is the center of my daily life. I work part-time and am consistently finished by 2:00 PM, which allows me to dedicate my entire afternoon and evening to the 'human-animal clan' in my care. My routine is built around structure: once I'm off work, I prioritize midday walks, feeding schedules, and play sessions. Because my husband and I already maintain strict routines for our own two dogs and two cats, adding a guest pet into our flow is seamless. Whether it’s an afternoon stroll or a relaxing dog massage after a long walk, your pet becomes a natural part of my daily schedule, receiving the same love and attention I give my own babies. El cuidado de mascotas no es solo un trabajo para mí; es el centro de mi vida diaria. Trabajo a tiempo parcial y normalmente termino a las 2:00 p. m., lo que me permite dedicar toda mi tarde y noche al 'clan humano-animal' que esté bajo mi cuidado. Mi rutina se basa en la estructura: una vez que salgo del trabajo, priorizo los paseos del mediodía, los horarios de alimentación y las sesiones de juego. Debido a que mi esposo y yo ya mantenemos rutinas estrictas para nuestros propios dos perros y dos gatos, integrar a una mascota invitada en nuestro ritmo es algo natural. Ya sea un paseo por la tarde o un masaje relajante para perros después de una larga caminata, tu mascota se convierte en parte natural de mi agenda diaria, recibiendo el mismo amor y atención que les doy a mis propios bebés. My Priority: A Safe and fun environment Whether in my home or yours, my priority is maintaining a safe and fun environment that mimics the pet's natural routine. In My Home (Boarding/Daycare): My home is a cozy, pet-friendly place exclusively for small breeds. I have a secure, fenced-in backyard where your little ones can play and explore safely. For maximum safety, I personally supervise every potty break and outdoor play session. To ensure your pet receives the highest level of attention and the best possible experience, I only host one dog at a time. Since I have my own two small dogs and two cats, this limit ensures a harmonious environment where your pet is never overwhelmed. For added peace of mind, I have internal safety dividers/gates inside the house to keep my cats and guest dogs separated if required, ensuring everyone feels comfortable. Furthermore, I treat your pets like family; I provide bottled water for all pets to drink—the exact same water my husband and I drink. All guest pets are introduced slowly to my "clan" and have full access to our family life in a hazard-free environment. In Your Home (House Sitting/Drop-ins): I treat your home with the utmost respect and follow all 'house rules' to the letter. I perform safety checks upon arrival—ensuring gates are latched and water bowls are fresh. Additionally, I am happy to help with small household tasks such as watering your plants or collecting the mail if needed while you are away. Personalized Care: I love rewarding good behavior with treats, but I always prioritize your pet's health. I will always ask you beforehand about treats and specific allergies. My service includes detailed updates, photos, and my signature relaxing massages. I am diligent about following feeding and exercise schedules to ensure your fur baby feels happy and secure. Mi prioridad: Un hogar seguro y divertido Ya sea en mi casa o en la tuya, mi prioridad es mantener un entorno seguro y divertido que imite la rutina natural de tu mascota. En mi casa (Hospedaje/Guardería): Mi hogar es un lugar acogedor y apto para mascotas, exclusivamente para razas pequeñas. Tengo un patio trasero vallado y seguro donde tus pequeños pueden jugar y explorar con total seguridad. Para una protección máxima, superviso personalmente cada salida al baño y sesión de juego al aire libre. Para asegurar que tu mascota reciba el más alto nivel de atención y la mejor experiencia posible, solo recibo a un perro a la vez. Dado que tengo mis propios dos perros pequeños y dos gatos, este límite garantiza un ambiente armonioso donde tu mascota nunca se sentirá abrumada. Para mayor tranquilidad, tengo cercas/puertas de seguridad internas dentro de la casa para mantener a mis gatos y a los perros invitados separados si es necesario, asegurando que todos se sientan cómodos. Además, trato a tus mascotas como si fueran de la familia; el agua que les damos de beber es agua mineral o potable, la misma que bebemos mi esposo y yo. Todos los invitados son introducidos lentamente a mi "clan" y tienen acceso total a nuestra vida familiar en un entorno libre de peligros. En tu casa (Cuidado a domicilio/Visitas): Trato tu hogar con el máximo respeto y sigo todas las "reglas de la casa" al pie de la letra. Realizo chequeos de seguridad al llegar, asegurándome de que las puertas estén cerradas y los recipientes de agua estén frescos. Además, me encantaría ayudarte con pequeñas tareas del hogar, como regar tus plantas o recoger el correo si es necesario mientras estás fuera. Cuidado personalizado: Me encanta premiar el buen comportamiento con golosinas, pero siempre priorizo la salud de tu mascota. Siempre te preguntaré de antemano si tu bebé puede comer premios y si tiene alguna alergia específica. Mi servicio incluye actualizaciones detalladas, fotos y mis masajes relajantes exclusivos. Soy muy diligente en seguir los horarios de alimentación y ejercicio para asegurar que tu mascota se sienta feliz y segura.

“Mara is extremely attentive to my Samoyed, Bianca🤍. Mara is always letting me know about her behaviors, her bathroom use, and her appetite. It is wonderful to have someone who cares so much taking care of Bianca🤍! Thank you Mara!”

About: Small dogs are my specialty! Neighbors, friends, colleagues and family turn to me without hesitation for consistent, safe, reliable pet care while they are away or in last minute emergency situations . I have experience with senior pets, pets that are in need of medication, pets that have CHF, pets with skin, problems/ issues, or allergies, and vestibular disease. I work a full-time job with a one hour lunch period (to attend to your pets needs midday) Well behaved pets (with the owners approval or owners request) can be brought with me to work in a very small 3 person quiet office setting. Monday-Friday and I am available all weekend. I have experience with crate trained, free roaming, in-home hospice situations with multiple (and sometimes time sensitive medications) , CHF(congestive heart failure) and special feeding instructions.
