About: I’ve taken care of animals for 19+ years! From dog walking to house sitting (cats included)❤️ Neighbors, family, and friends - I’m the one they call 😊 I’ve cared for puppies all the way up to senior dogs. I have even helped a mama cat give birth and cared for her kittens! I have also volunteered at The Humane Society and a Blind Cat Rescue 🥰 I’m currently a stay-at-home wife with a Dalmation and two indoor cats of my own. I don’t have a strict schedule so I’m open every day of the week. :) I treat my pets like my children so I most certainly will treat your pets the same! My pets are all fully vaccinated and flea and tick treated.

Darsy has been great. She shows up on time and has been working to gain the trust of our obstinate rat terrier and made progress today to get her out on a walk. As for our puppy, Bella, Darcy has been great with walking her and making sure she gets some water after the walk and playing with her. She’s also been great about working around our schedule. I highly recommend her.

Thank you Margaret for doing such a great job caring for my great dane! What can I say, you are a kind spirit and it shows in your love of animals. She boarded my fur baby for 4 days, and I never once had to worry how he was doing because she constantly was in contact. Margaret is a god send - she accepted my last minute request literally the day I needed to leave town. If you need a trust worthy dog sitter, trust that Margaret will treat you baby with care. I hope we can book with her again!!!

When we need someone to watch our babies again Rebecca is who we will turn to. She kept us updated while we were away and the pets were getting along better when we got back. I do’t know what she said to them but I won’t be surprised if I find our dog and younger cat curled up together. He has become quite protective of her. After Rebecca left, our Maddox cried. He wanted to go with her. Rebecca is a keeper as a sitter. I highly recommend her. Very carring.

About: I have two years of experience as a veterinary technician along with house and pet sitting for friends and family members. I’m trained in administering certain medications to pets that need them and providing the love and care that they need while you’re gone! I was very active in pet sitting when I lived in Oklahoma but I took a break when I moved to Florida to be with my husband and now I’m ready to start taking care of fur babies again! I currently stay at home as a military wife mostly taking care of our pets, so I can dedicate all the time needed to caring for your sweet babies! I have a fenced yard and one high energy chihuahua mix who loves playing with other pups! Since I stay at home, I am able to provide the same top notch care for your pets as I do my own.

About: I Have taken care of pets all my life. My family and friends have always been surrounded by their presence. I enjoy taking care of them and giving them all the love that they deserve. I know all pets have different personalities, some are more playful, some are more peaceful. Some trust more than others. Whatever the case is, I am patient to get to know them and understand their needs. I am very blessed to have my wife next to me always loving the pets that surround us. We have pet sitter many times together and is just a bunch of love around. We love that! It makes us more happy than we already are! One day even our future babies will enjoy that with us too! I am currently only attending college online so I have plenty of availability. I have time throughout the week and sometimes the weekends too. I will always try to work it out. Plus my wife is always there for me, so she can always take the times that I cannot. I do not have any pets so if I was to receive pets in my home they do not have to worry about other pets. That way they are more comfortable!

About: Hi there! I'd love to help take care of your fur babies while you're away. I offer drop in visits for dogs and cats in the Shalimar/Eglin/FWB area. I also offer dog boarding in my home. If you're interested in requesting to board your dog I want to be certain we are a great fit for your pup. Please see below for details: -Your dog must be ok with other dogs (I personally have 2 large dogs) -Your dog must be ok with cats (I have 1 sassy cat) I do ask your dog be comfortable in a kennel for short periods for the first day or two(Approx 4hrs max at a time,I require this for when I have to leave the house for the first few days while the dogs are still getting to know each other, I want everyone to be safe) After comfort has been established and if you normally allow your dog to free roam and prefer it, that is no problem. We love to let our pups free roam. -I do work Mon-Fri but work 5 minutes away and always come home and hour for lunch I've been working with local rescues and shelters for years walking, caring for, and fostering animals. I've also watched many pets for friends and family. I have a full privacy fenced yard. I enjoy doing drop in visits for both cats and dogs and dog walking. I also love boarding dogs in my home. I love cats and can offer drop in visits in your home for them, however I am unable to board cats in my home(our cat isn't a fan of other cats) I have a military background and understand the challenges military pet owners face. I do have Eglin base access. If you're going on an extended TDY/deployment beyond 3 weeks reach out for special pricing. * I require a meet and greet prior to any boarding confirmation to ensure everyone is comfortable and gets along. The saftey and well being of your pets and mine is my #1 priority. I currently work full time during the day(Mon-Fri) , but am fortunate enough to work only a few minutes from home. I can do drop ins/walks in the morning/evenings. I also come home at lunch or could do drop in/walk during my lunch break if needed. If I'm caring for your pets in your home, I will ask your preferences. If I am boarding them, I allow animals to free roam the home while I am home. While I'm gone I generally kennel to ensure everyone's saftey since I'm not there to keep an eye on eveyone.(I can always make exceptions to this based on the dog, especially once I know eveyone is comfortable with each other) I do have a fully fenced backyard and a doggy door and we will also enjoy daily walks.

About: I currently work as a kennel tech and was raised in a household full of cats, dogs, bunnies, birds, and fish so I have pretty great experience with various animals and get along well with any kind of pet. I no longer work full time due to pregnancy so I will be home throughout the day to dedicate my time and attention to your pet! Pets take high priority in my home as well as the clients home. I make sure to schedule and follow through with feeding, potty breaks, and any necessary exercise.

About: I have grown up with dogs & cats, but not afraid to broaden my pet sitting horizons! My hours are flexible and I will update you often- yes that means pictures galore. Want to FaceTime your babies? Let's do it! I get it, I'm a dog/cat mom too. If I board your pet, I will need their kennel if possible. My dog roars my house all day, so if your pup is also used to that, I am fine with it. I work from home in Foley, right off 98 & 59. I am quick to respond & readily available. I can assure you this will be the easiest process you've ever been apart of! If you have any other question, let me know! I work from home, part time. I am always available for you and your pets needs. I can be reached on the app, by phone, or by text! I understand the need for you to be comfortable with your pets. I can assure you, they will be treated as my own pets, always! Clear instructions on how to enter & exit are helpful. Wether you have a key fob, lock box, or hidden key- your privacy is important to me!

About: I have been around animals my whole life and currently have one dog, three cats (one senior with chronic illnesses/daily meds), four hermit crabs, one ball python, and 10 quail. In the past, I have cared for fish, snails, horses, rabbits, ferrets, a tarantula, and a variety of birds. I am open to watching animals of all kinds! I am able to provide drop in care any time on the weekends and morning/lunchtime/evening during the work week. I am also able to provide dog boarding in my home. I work Monday-Friday but my office is in the same neighborhood as my house - and is pet friendly! For drop in care, my goal is to provide care that keeps to the pets' regular schedule as much as possible in order to ensure they feel safe and cared for. I am able to medicate cats and dogs. For in home care, I am able to accommodate up to 2 dogs from the same household. I have a large, pet friendly house and fenced back yard. All boarding dogs must be cat friendly and good with other dogs.
