About: *Where Your Pets Feel at Home, and You Feel at Ease* Hi! I’m a dedicated, full-time pet care professional offering both pet sitting and doggy daycare services. This isn’t just a side gig—it’s my passion and profession! Whether your furry friend needs a cozy place to stay while you're away or a fun-filled day of play, I provide a safe, loving environment where they’ll be treated like family. With experience caring for pets of all ages, special needs animals, and even non-traditional pets, I understand that every pet is unique. I also offer drop-in services, so your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar surroundings while still receiving top-quality care. What My Home Offers: 🏡 A Quiet, Private Space – My home is in a peaceful neighborhood, providing a calm environment for pets to relax and feel safe. 🐾 Freedom & Comfort – Pets can spend all their time with me or have their own space if they prefer. They have full access to my home, including a guest room if they need a private retreat. 🚪 Secure Outdoor Access – A doggy door leads to my brand-new, 8ft tall fenced-in yard, so pets can safely enjoy fresh air and playtime. 📹 Extra Safety Measures – A security camera monitors the fenced-in area, ensuring your pet is always safe while outside. 🏊 Supervised Pool Time – My pool is completely separate from the doggy door area, meaning pets are only around the pool when I’m there to supervise. 🐶 Tailored Care – Whether your pet thrives on structure or loves being part of the family, I can accommodate strict training routines or simply let them enjoy a homey atmosphere. 🕰️ 24/7 Attention – I’m available to your pet for their entire stay! Whether they have separation anxiety, trouble at night, or are still potty training, I’m here to provide patience, care, and consistency. 🤝 Safe Socialization – I only ever book multiple pets if I know they will get along, ensuring a comfortable and stress-free experience for everyone. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities—because they deserve the best, and so do you! I offer doggy daycare and overnight boarding 7 days a week, with only a few exceptions for trips throughout the year. Typically, dogs are fed and walked twice a day, with lots of fun and playtime in between. If your pet follows a different routine, I’m happy to adjust to their specific needs! My home is equipped with a doggy door that provides 24/7 outdoor access to a secure yard enclosed by a 7-foot fence. This yard is separate from the pool area, ensuring the safety of your pet. The yard is monitored by a camera that alerts me and records when pups go outside, so I can keep an eye on them at all times. Dog walks are conducted safely, and pets are only allowed near the pool when I am present to supervise. I am always mindful of doors to ensure they do not escape. Our neighborhood is peaceful, so you can feel confident that your pet will stay relaxed and stress-free. My dog, Scroopy, is a gentle, friendly boy with no possessive or aggressive traits, and he loves having playdates! If you're looking for a house sitter to stay with your pet, we can discuss that as well. I take pride in meeting each animal's specific needs, knowing that every pet is unique. And if you're traveling, you'll receive daily photos and updates to stay connected with your furry friend!
“He was so good to my two cats while I was away! And very understanding when my travel plans changed. My cats took to him quickly and were snuggling in all the photos I got. Wonderful sitter”
“We had an exceptional experience with Holly as our caregiver through Rover. From the outset, Holly was excellent in her communication, keeping us updated and sending us delightful pictures of our pups throughout her time with them. It was evident from the joyful expressions of our dogs that they were very happy and well cared for. Holly's attentiveness and professionalism gave us tremendous peace of mind, knowing that our fur babies were in good hands while we were away. We are definitely planning to hire her again and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Holly, for your wonderful service!”
About: I have had both cats and dogs my whole like and some other exotic pets that I have taken care of. I have a huge love for animals and plan to make a career out of it in the future hopefully with rehabilitation! I am currently unemployed since I just moved to fort Walton beach approximately a month ago and I am taking college classes online. Your fur babies will be my number one concern. I am living in an apartment but they have a really nice dog park and a lot of space around the complex to walk around if your animal does not do good with other animals. I have a cat so he mainly likes to stay inside and people watch out of the big window laying on his designated chair but he gets to go on walks too when he desires!
About: I grew up in a dog-friendly household and 5 years ago I adopted a dog on my own. For the past couple of years my friends have entrusted me with watching their dogs. I am a personal trainer that trains mainly in the early mornings and late evenings. I have a huge chunk of free time during the day. I stick to a solid daily routine that will ensure a walking time, feeding time, and eating time. I also can give daily updates on how the pet is doing (can include photos).
“Sharon took care of my three cats like they were her own. She went to great lengths to spend time with them at her visits and followed my directions explicitly. She administered insulin to my diabetic cat twice daily and made sure he was perfectly cared for. There is no price you can put on the security of knowing your babies are safe and cared for”
