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 was wondering in looking after our fur baby! She was very communicative, punctual, and sent pictures daily which we greatly appreciated. We will definitely use her caring services and expertise again in the future. Thank you Lillie for peace of mind ;)”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give to every pet I watch. I will take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and favorite activities so they feel comfortable and loved while their family is away. I’m dependable, patient, communicative, and I will keep pet parents updated with photos and messages. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, happy, and right at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m able to provide consistent care throughout the day, including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, walks when needed, and plenty of attention and affection. In my home I am the camp counselor and treat dealer. Making sure everyone gets their tummy’s fed, enough playtime and fresh air , all while keeping a tidy home.

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 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.

“Jessica took great care of Roxy while we were away. She was loving and caring. Jessica sent photos everyday and spent time doing Roxys 2 favorite things. Treats and brushes. I will be booking Jessica next time we go out of town!”

“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: I have experience working at a doggy daycare, where I cared for dogs of all sizes by supervising play, walking, and bathing them! I’ve also been dog walking and pet sitting for the past 5 years. I’m comfortable with different temperaments and energy levels, and I focus on keeping every pet safe, happy, and well cared for. I stand out for my reliability, attention to detail, and the extra effort I put into learning each pet’s routine and personality so they feel comfortable while you’re away! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m able to give pets consistent attention throughout the day, whether that’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I also live an active lifestyle, so I enjoy staying active with dogs through regular walks and exercise, making it easy to keep them happy, engaged, and well cared for. I provide care based on each pet’s routine, whether in my home or my client’s. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of attention, while keeping their environment clean, safe, and comfortable.

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.

“Cindy did a wonderful job looking after my pets and giving insulin injection to my cat! Very responsive and I’m so happily I found her.”

I am certified vet assistant, and currently own my own licensed, insured & bonded pet care service.

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: 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.
