House Sitting Ochlockonee

“Annabelle was an amazing sitter for Ollie. She went the extra mile to come meet us prior to the visit and make sure she was comfortable with Ollie and his routine. She was punctual and was sure to ask any questions she had, which I really appreciated. Ollie can be a bit challenging when I’m not home, but I felt extremely comfortable in Annabelle’s ability to care for him. I would definitely have Annabelle watch Ollie again.”

“Aaliyah is the best and very easy to get along with! She stayed the night with my pup for two nights. She was extremely responsive and sent me regular pictures + updates. She was SO flexible with me pushing the dog sitting back one day and then later asking to extend it another day. She spent a ton of time at the house with Bowie and was intentional about giving him enrichment and playtime. She left the key exactly where I asked her to and locked all of my doors. She was respectful of our home and left it exactly how it was before she got here. She is my new go to pet sitter!”

“I highly recommend Shelby. She’s friendly and personable and left our house in great shape. The kitties were fed and watered as requested and she even snapped a few photos. She was here when she said she would be and is a stellar sitter :)”

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have always been the person who wants to love on every critter I meet! I have several sweet fur babies of my own and have cared for all kinds of animals over the years—from dogs and cats to horses, birds, lizards, rats, and pretty much anything else you can name. I’ve also had the opportunity to foster 3 medical puppies through LCHS, along with 1 non-medical foster dog. Fostering has given me even more experience with animals who need a little extra patience, attention, and TLC. I am also familiar and comfortable with administering medicine to cats and dogs from pills to shots and creams. I genuinely love animals and really enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and quirks. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone else, so I take their care very seriously. When your pets are with me, they’ll be treated just like my own with plenty of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles (if they’re into that, of course!). I work a full time job M-F but am able to do lunchtime potty breaks. If you are interested in booking over weekdays it would be best that your fur baby can be alone for 4 hour increments. If your pet is people/pet friendly and you approve I am able to bring dogs to my office space. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every pet like my own and take the responsibility of caring for them very seriously. I’ll follow your instructions and routines closely, and make sure they’re happy, safe, and comfortable. I want you to feel completely at ease while you are gone and pride myself on sending often updates and photos of your fur babies.

“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. Yasmine is incredibly loving, attentive, respectful, and responsible. Toby (my dog) absolutely adored her because of how caring and affectionate she was with him. She even bought him toys, and they spent so much time together throughout the day. She also constantly sent me photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind and made me feel reassured that Toby was happy and well taken care of at all times. I highly recommend Yasmine with complete confidence to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely caring to look after their pets.”

“Lillyana was so great with my dogs! She was willing to help at late notice for an unplanned trip I had to take. She was very attentive, communicated well, and assured me that my dogs were well taken care of. I would definitely book again in the future.”

“Andrew does a wonderful job taking care of your pets and home. He house sat for us for one week and took care of our 2 dogs and 2 cats. He did an excellent job feeding, walking, and loving on our animals. 10/10 would recommend, in fact this is our 2nd time using him for longer vacations. I have known Drew for many years and he has great character, solid attitude, and a wonderful moral compass.”

“Camille stayed with our 3 dogs for multiple night and was amazing. She communicated frequently and yoh can tell our babies got so much love and attention”

About: I had a Jack Russel Terrier as a kid up until I was 15 years old. I haven’t had a dog since and I have never had cats but rest assured I know how to care for both! My dog died in 2018 and shortly after in 2019 I ended up getting 2 hamsters, and shortly after my animal list grew! I have 3 degus, 2 hamsters, 1 crested gecko, 1 halmahera giant gecko, 2 gerbils and 4 snails! They are all enclosed so the animals I board won’t be able to get to them! My love for animals runs deeper then most and I can assure that your pets will be in safe hands! I can walk your dogs for up to 2 hours everyday if needed! I am a high school student at the moment and graduating in 2021 so I do have school during the day but I am online and not in person so I have the time to care for your dog or cat! I live with my mom and she works from home so that’s another person in the house to help me out if I need it! I work for the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services! I work 9 hour days but will be able to come back home during lunch for most house sittings, if not I will communicate that in advance. I will do whatever you need for your pets and customize my routine at your home to your liking! I live in a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home which has a large unfenced yard. Plenty of walking and play space and I’m able to go on daily runs/walks. There is a dog park nearby which I can go to sometimes but not daily. For house sitting I will do whatever you would like me to do for your fur babies! All I want is for them to be happy and healthy!

“I have so many great things to say about Analia and I probably won’t fit them all in this review, but I’m going to try. My partner and I were going on a cross country road trip for two weeks and found ourselves in need of a sitter for our two dogs the day we were supposed to leave for our trip. Before we even met, Analia left an incredible impression. She was compassionate, understanding, and flexible. She agreed to watch our dogs and stop by less than 12 hours before we had to leave. Our dogs are still young and in training, and for some people they can be a bit overwhelming. Analia was not phased at all by this, and from our first interactions, I could tell she was going to give just as much love and attention as we would. She had already looked over our care instructions and remembered facts about them, but she really took it a step further by asking how she could continue their training (something that means a lot to us, but we don’t always expect of others because it can be challenging; we were floored by her thoughtfulness and generosity). We left town feeling so secure having Analia taking care of our dogs. Analia continued to exceed expectations throughout our trip. She very intentionally sent updates, photos, and videos nearly every day, was super flexible when we ran out of food because our shipment didn’t come in, and went out of her way to bring our dogs new toys. When our arrival back home was delayed, Analia was incredibly accommodating and watched the dogs for a couple extra days despite it being last minute and her already having other plans. I feel so lucky to have been connected with Analia, not only because she was a great sitter for our dogs, but because she is such a kind and compassionate person, and was someone I thoroughly enjoyed talking to throughout our trip. She truly is a gem, and someone we will continue to trust our dogs with. If you take anything away from this review, it is that you should end your search here and choose Analia, because you will not regret it.”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and cats and have always had a natural love for animals. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, including puppies, and have taught many of my own dogs basic commands like sit, lay down, shake, spin, and roll over. I’m also comfortable helping puppies learn potty routines and providing lots of patience, structure, and positive reinforcement. I love keeping dogs active and happy! Whether it’s a long walk, a nature trail, a hike, or a fun day by the lake, I enjoy giving dogs plenty of exercise, stimulation, and attention. I have dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, loved, and cared for when you’re away. 🐾❤️ My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to make pet care a priority throughout the day. I’m home most of the time and can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and overnight care depending on your pet’s needs. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and extended stays. Because I have a flexible schedule, I can give your pets plenty of one-on-one attention rather than simply checking in and leaving. I’m happy to work around your routine and your pet’s individual needs, whether they need a quick potty break or lots of exercise and companionship. 🐾❤️ Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, their safety, comfort, and happiness always come first. My home has a fenced-in area where dogs can safely get some fresh air and play, and I always supervise outdoor time. I also love keeping dogs active and engaged through walks, nature trails, and trips to the lake when appropriate. I’m happy to follow each pet parent’s instructions and routines, including feeding schedules, medications, potty breaks, and any house rules. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their home and belongings with the same respect I would want for my own. I understand that leaving your pet with someone requires trust, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. 🐾❤️

“Emily did a great job! I got pics and updates every day, she sat with the dogs through 4th of July (never fun) and she left the house cleaner than I left it for her (embarrassing, but very nice).”

“Meghan took such wonderful care of our 3 high energy Aussies! I know they loved every minute she was there with them. We highly recommend her for your pet’s care and will certainly use her again when the need arises!!”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs my entire life, from small breeds (Boston Terrier) to big dogs (Great Pyrenees) and have always loved caring for them. I also have years of experience fostering dogs (Golden Retrievers), which has taught me how to be patient, attentive, and adaptable to each dog’s unique personality and needs. As an FSU grad student, I’d love the opportunity to spend my free time giving dogs the exercise, attention, and companionship they deserve. Pet care has always been a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. Growing up, I fostered Golden Retrievers, which taught me a lot about caring for dogs with different personalities and needs. I’ve also had two different Great Pyrenees, so I’m very comfortable caring for large dogs and understand the importance of consistent exercise, feeding, grooming, and attention. On top of that, I’ve dog-sat for several friends’ dogs, giving me experience with different breeds, temperaments, and routines. Overall, I really enjoy being around animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. Growing up fostering Golden Retrievers gave me experience caring for dogs with different personalities and needs. I’ve also had two Great Pyrenees, so I’m comfortable with large dogs and understand the importance of proper feeding, exercise, grooming, and attention. I’ve also dog-sat for several friends, which has given me experience adapting to different dogs, routines, and household environments. In a client’s home, I would follow their specific instructions for feeding, walks, medications if needed, playtime, and other daily routines. I also make sure to give pets plenty of attention, keep their space clean, and communicate with the owner about how their pet is doing. My goal is to make each pet feel comfortable and cared for while their owner is away.

“Louisa did an amazing job! I have a kitty with special care/feeding instructions that require attention to detail that she followed perfectly. She also took great care of my home and provided updates on everything as I away. I could tell she genuinely cares about animals just from our initial meet & greet too. I always get so nervous leaving my cat when I go on trips but Louisa absolutely earned my trust and I will be booking with her again in the future for sure as long as she’s still pet sitting. Thank you so much again :)”

About: Hi! I'm a recent MFA graduate from FSU, dog owner, and long-time pet lover and foster mom. I have worked with a pretty wide variety of dogs from my time volunteering and fostering for a rescue when I lived in Gainesville. (I also worked at the UF vet college for 4 years, in an administrative capacity.) I have some experience with cats too, including a cat that needed insulin shots. I just graduated with a master's degree in writing and am looking for gig-type work that allows me writing time. Currently my schedule is very open! I am 40 and have a little more life experience than many local sitters. I have experience giving medication and injections. Happy to answer any questions you have about safety.

About: I have been around animals my whole life. I currently own 2 large dogs. I take good care of them which includes giving baths, taking them on walks, playing with them, cuddling, and taking them on adventures🩷 My priority is your dog. I am accessible all day everyday! I'm currently not working and have plenty of time to take care of your pets☺️ My biggest priority is to make sure your dog is getting the attention it needs and the safety. Exercise, stimulation and love is prioritized in each visit🩷

About: I am observant and attentive to animal needs. I’ve worked as a barn hand for 40 horses, volunteered with wildlife rescue, and completed pet & equine first aid training. Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, or extra patience, I’ll provide reliable, loving care and plenty of attention. I’ve recently relocated to Tallahassee from Oregon. I plan to attend school part-time in the fall 2026. I’m not seeking other employment at this time. My willingness & availability are open and my car is dependable! I’m willing to check in on your pet or stay the night. Either way I can be trusted to treat your home respectfully and follow routine care for your pet.

“I can not say enough wonderful things about Alexzandria! She was kind, attentive and most importantly, my pup absolutely loved her. This was such a wonderful and stress-free experience. I hope that Alexzandria is available next time we need a sitter!”
