Pet Sitting Okeechobee

“From the time I chose Marnie to care for my cat Freedom for two days Drop-In Visits I knew beyond doubt I made the right decision. I especially appreciated her taking photos of my cat on each visit and sharing them to me as well as providing a brief narrative demonstrating the level of care she showed. I am a first-timer with Rover and this process lets me know they don’t just cater to the canines but also to the felines. I learned we both speak “Cat”. Thanks Marnie, it is my pleasure meeting you.”

“Lillie took wonderful care of my dog and cat during both drop-in visits and overnight stays with her. Lillie went above and beyond for my fur babies. They love her!”

About: I have extensive experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs. As a devoted dog mom to three pups who lived full lives into their senior years, I understand the love, patience, and special care dogs need at every stage of life. I’ve also fostered numerous dogs over the years and have adopted two senior dogs, giving them a comfortable and loving home in their golden years. In addition to my own pets, I’ve cared for many friends’ and family members’ animals—often on short notice—so I understand how important it is to have someone dependable and trustworthy when plans change. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness will always be my top priority. I work full time during the week, but my weekends are dedicated to providing loving care and attention to animals. I have a busy household with three grown children, and there is almost always someone home to keep your pets company and ensure they receive the care, comfort, and supervision they deserve. Our home is a pet-loving environment, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals, giving them attention, playtime, and a safe place to feel comfortable while you’re away. I have experience working with strong and high-energy breeds, including Chow Chows and Pit Bulls. I’m comfortable managing dogs who may need extra structure, including those with food sensitivities, leash challenges, or who require separation from other dogs. I understand the importance of consistency, boundaries, and safety for everyone involved. At home, I have two dogs — an Australian Shepherd mix and a Boxer/Catahoula mix — so I’m very familiar with active personalities and the care they need to thrive.

About: I have worked at an animal hospital for 14 yrs. Taken care of family and friends animals for years, also have had pets for my whole life. I’m currently working part time I have plenty of time to spend on caring for pets, this would wonderful job for me do to I love dogs and cats. I have a one year old Yorkie and he is leashed walking several times a day, and loves playing outside at the doggy parks daily.

Kimberly S.

“I would highly recommend Hailey to anyone, she was great. My dogs were very happy and taken care of exactly the way I would’ve wanted them to be. She communicated and sent pictures for each visit. I have two Australian shepherds one is 13 years old and one is 6 and she gave them each the attention that they needed. this is my first time using Rover and I will definitely use Hailey again.”

“Tiffany did such a great job checking in on my very elusive kitten! She was communicative and did everything I asked of her while I was away- I knew he was in great hands and will definitely rebook with her next time I go out of town. Thank you again!”

About: I have always owned dogs and considered them as family. I have taken care of family and friends' dogs for about 20 years now and I have always treated them as if they were my own. I work full time, but only 2 or 3 days a week depending on the week. Therefore I'm free about 5 days a week and my schedule is flexible. Also, I live with my parents and sister and whenever I need to run errands, the pups never stay alone. I have a 20x30 yards, fenced back yard. I make them play for a while, feed them as instructed per the owner. If small enough, I let them sleep with me, if allowed by you.

About: As a child raised on a farm, I developed a natural ability to nurture and care for animals of all kinds. For as long as I can remember, I have provided my pets with everything they need to thrive. I have owned several dogs and cats over the years. I make sure they remain happy and healthy. This includes administering treatments when necessary, bathing them regularly, trimming their nails, keeping up with vaccinations and medical checkups, and providing plenty of affection and companionship on a daily basis. Taking care of animals comes naturally to me. I not only provide for their basic needs, but I also establish a loving bond with my pets through consistent care, grooming, attention, and of course walks and treats. The wellbeing of the animals in my care is of the utmost importance to me. Pet care is completely integrated into my daily routine and responsibilities. From the moment I wake up, my focus is on ensuring the needs of my pets are met. Each morning begins with filling food and water bowls, cleaning litter boxes, and walking the dogs. My farm animals also require daily attention in terms of feeding, watering and letting them into their specific areas. Throughout the day, I am constantly checking in on my pets, refilling water, playing with them, and providing comfort and companionship. If any of my pets show signs they are unwell or need to see a vet, I make that my top priority and will rearrange my schedule accordingly to take them to appointments. Even during the nighttime, I am there for my pet and their needs and listen for any sounds that would indicate they want to go outside or need something. Their wellbeing and happiness comes before anything else in my routine. No matter what else is going on in my day, my pets always receive the time, care and love they deserve from me. As a dedicated pet caregiver, I provide for all the needs of the animals under my supervision. Whether at my own home or a client's residence, my focus is always on ensuring the pets remain happy, healthy, and well behaved. I allow the pets outdoor access at regular intervals, taking them for walks when needed. Basic hygiene is a priority, so pets receive routine grooming that includes baths and nail trimming. I play with the animals frequently to and provide lots of affection, hugs, and praise to make sure they feel loved. Their diet is closely monitored. I prepare fresh food and change water dishes regularly. I also secure away objects that could pose a hazard if left where a pet could access them. Regular vet appointments are scheduled to check them out and keep them up to date with everything. I take the pets to parks and other open spaces for fun. My role as a pet caregiver ensures all needs are met and the animals remain comfortable and content, whether at my own residence or under my supervision at a client's home. The pets' happiness and wellbeing are my top priorities.

About: Grew up around dogs and farm animals all my life. I have have always had dogs as well as being the one caring for friends and co workers pets. From dogs to snakes. Currently I’m a free lance artist and handyman usually at home doing art. If not I’m always around painting houses and or doing art instillations. I have a big fenced yard as well as sectioned off areas in the house for my Dogs and when I go to care for friends dogs I mostly house sit as well bring some art supplies and keep them company in between walls and eating. They help me as much as I help them if not more.

“Lorianne did a great job taking care of our cat, Winnie, while we were away for 5 days. Winnie can be anxious, but Lorianne was patient with Winnie. By day 2, Winnie was rubbing on her. Lorianne sent daily pictures and updates. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi! I’m Isabella 🐾 If your dog has a favorite toy, a very specific way they like their food, or a routine they absolutely refuse to break, I want to know about it. I’m a big believer that good pet care isn’t one-size-fits-all, and I love getting to know each dog’s little personality and quirks. I grew up with dogs and have spent years caring for friends’, family members’, and clients’ pets, from tiny seniors to big, energetic pups. I’m comfortable with different ages, personalities, routines, and energy levels, and I’m the type of person who notices the little things, whether that’s a dog acting a little off, needing some extra reassurance, or deciding that today is definitely a three-hour cuddle day. I’m also the owner of Proc & Paws, a local pet-care business, so caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and take seriously. When you’re away, my goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved, and for you to feel like you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I’d love to meet you and your pup! 🐶🤍 My schedule is pretty flexible right now, which means I’m able to give pets plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays, and I can usually work around your pet’s normal routine rather than trying to fit them into mine. I especially love overnight stays because I get to really settle into a pet’s routine, whether that means an early morning walk, a midday potty break, dinner at their usual time, or winding down together at night. I’ll always chat with you beforehand about your pet’s schedule and what they’re used to so they can feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I treat every pet and home I care for with the same level of attention I would want for my own. Before a stay, I like to learn the important details about your pet’s routine, personality, medications, feeding schedule, and any little quirks I should know about. While I’m there, I’m attentive to changes in behavior and make sure doors, gates, leashes, and anything else that could affect your pet’s safety are secure. I’m also respectful of your home and will leave things the way I found them. Most importantly, I want both you and your pet to feel comfortable with me. I’m happy to send regular updates, photos, and videos so you can enjoy your time away without wondering how your pup is doing.

“Max are all of his food during his first visit with Leat which proofs he is feeling comfortable with her!”

About: I started watching pets for family and friends in the beginning of high school as a way to make extra money, and over the years I have gained experience taking care of dogs and making sure they are happy, safe, and well cared for. I have also grown up caring for three dogs of my own, so I understand how much love, attention, and responsibility goes into taking care of pets. I currently work part-time, so pet sitting fits into my schedule really well. I have flexibility around my work hours and would love to use that time to take care of pets. I’ve always loved animals and have three dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable caring for them and making sure they get plenty of attention. I think pet sitting would be a fun way to spend my free time while also earning some extra money. When I’m taking care of pets in their home, I make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and getting the attention they need. I follow whatever routine the owner has for them, like feeding, walks, playtime, and giving them lots of love. I’ll also make sure they have fresh water and that everything is cleaned up. I want the pets to feel happy and comfortable while their owners are away!

About: I have over a decade of experience in walking, sitting and boarding many types of animals however dogs are my specialty. I am certified vet assistant, and currently own my own licensed, insured & bonded pet care service. I have experience with all breeds and sizes of dogs and while I am usually great with all dogs, I have a soft spot for larger breeds and frenchiez, since I myself am the proud owner of two pit bull terriers and afew Frenchiez myself... I have a real passion for caring for animals and I treat every and any pet in my care as my own. While I aim to please every client to the best of my abilities, it is the pet having a great experience that is my main priority. My schedule is flexible, and general availability is 5am to 11pm; however tends to change quite often.. I currently run a licensed pet care service from home so I'm almost always usually home with the pets to care for unless I'm out handling a transport... I care for the pets in my home as if they were my own but I try to keep them on their usual feeding and walk schedule to not offset what the routine the client already has for the pet...

About: My Dad grew up in a farm, his love for animals I have inherited wholeheartedly. I have taken care of a range of animals altogether. I work from home so I have a lot of flexibility and time to provide care and support for your fur babies. I am available on the weekends too. At my place I have a dog park and a very cute grassy area for the dogs to play in. At the clients home I will make sure I have a clear understanding of the routine.

About: I have two beautiful dogs and a gorgeous kitty at home. I love taking care of animals and enjoy walks as well. I am open to house sitting, drop ins, and walks. I regularly take my pups for walks and occasionally my feline friend as well. My senior dogs love the dog park and my cat loves her balcony time. I currently work at a daycare with infants and will soon work at an infant center. I hope to start EMT school in the spring and begin my journey of helping others. Pets should be treated just like people, with respect and understanding. I believe in firm boundaries with all animals. I respect your pets and your home and I will take as many steps as I can to make them feel comfortable around me.
