House Sitting in Ozello

“Carter took great care of my boys. They aren’t the easiest (one doesn’t like strangers or other dogs and the other has separation anxiety and both are big and needy) but from the moment he met them, they were buddies. He left the house in clean and kept me informed on how they were doing while I was away. Will definitely book with him again and we are so thankful we found him.”

“Jessica was absolutely amazing! She was so great with our dogs and they loved hanging out with her! She was responsive and funny! We will definitely use her again!”

“Becca was amazing! Apollo absolutely adored her. I was really nervous to leave him and she made everything so easy. Very kind person who is definitely a dog whisperer. I’ll reach out again 🥰”

About: Over 40yrs experience caring for animals; dogs, cats, farm animals, etc. Avid animal lover, detail-oriented, dependable and able to foster a calm, safe, environment for all fur babies. As a semi-retired adult, whose children are grown and out of the house, I have plenty of time to care for and love on your pets. At home, my dogs have a fenced-in yard, which allows them full mobility. Pending on each inhouse care (client's home) situation, dogs will be cared for pending owner's wishes/demands. Many years' experience with ADAI (Assistance Dogs for Achieving Independence), managing a pet shop (Pet City) and working for a veterinary clinic.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since the age of 3, growing up as a dog owner with a couple cats at a time, as well. I love written instructions and schedules to follow for feeding and potty time and am attentive to detail. I can send photo and video updates as often as requested. I’m currently working part time with some flexibility built in to help fur baby parents with pet care. Let’s come up with a schedule that meets your needs! I can offer overnight stays if needed and extra time spent with pets on top of feedings, walks, treats, and toilet times. The more details you provide about what you need, the better. I’ll keep things tidy for your return, too.

“Patty was great with our boy Sam. She was patient with him which helped a lot because he is so skittish and afraid of everything. We appreciate that she was willing to sit on short notice and have already asked her to sit when we go away in August. We definitely recommend her as a pet sitter.”

“This was the first time I had a sitter in my home. I was anxious but I knew my sweet dog, Pepper, would be more comfortable and easy at home. Pepper was very comfortable even sleeping in bed with Samantha. Plants were watered and she even made my bed for me as I was arriving home late. I have already booked her again. I would have preferred more communication and pics especially on that first day.”

“Wonderful!! Can't say enough good stuff about Tina. She's a sweetheart and loved my Bernie and she loved Tina. They had a good day with no issues so I was able to travel to Jacksonville for Dr appointments. Tina arrived bright and early ask planned and was very patient about our long day away. Bernie, Mom & Dad love Tina E!”

“Jessica was wonderful. This was our first experience with a sitter, so I was nervous. She exceeded all of my expectations. Jessica answered all of my questions, was here when she said she would be, played with Bear, took him on nice long walks, sent lots of pictures, and left the house in perfect condition. Thank you so much! We will absolutely have Jessica sit for us again.”

“She’s amazing and my dog loves her. I would highly recommend her to watch you pets”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 10, my mom owns a rescue business. I’ve helped her with dogs, cats, and reptiles. We always have animals in and out of the house, my mom babysits many animals and I help her take care of fosters like cats and dogs. I’m currently out of school and I am open anytime, any day. I have a lot of time to take care of pets. I can walk or play with your animals! At home I have a fenced in area in the back yard to keep your pup safe! I have 3 other playful pups that would love to play with new animals!

“Molly took excellent care of our boy and our home while we were away! Very thankful to have found her and plan to use her in the future whenever we are away.”

Dawn G.

“We loved having Kelcey pet sit our Pup Zena. She gave Zena all the special care that she needed with being an older dog. When Zena didn’t want to go out after a long day, Kelcey picked her up and got her outside. She gave her a ton of loving and is very trustworthy. Will definitely book again as long as we still have Zena. Thank you again, The Gregory’s”

About: I approach all walks of life with an open heart and love. Because of this I believe all critters seek out my affections and makes for fun interactions. I am currently at a cross road in life and looking for new situations that are more fulfilling. I absolutely enjoy spending my time with four legged friends. I have a mostly private fenced in yard with plenty of room for running and playing. I also can provide crates and segregated spots for our friends that need their own space or maybe a little to shy.

About: I care about them as if they were my own. They don't live as long as humans so they deserve the best life we can give them while they're here. The only experience and knowledge I have of dogs and cats is what I've learned on my own with my pets throughout my life. I don't have a job so my availability is mostly flexible. Looking for extra money, I don't have any special skills I just need extra money and love dogs and cats. The only thing I can think of that puts me apart from other services/sitters is the desire and drive to complete any task, besides my love for pets, I have a great work ethic that helps me be motivated to ensure every step was taken in completing a task. Money is also a great motivator but isn't the saying "do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life", that's a great interpretation of my work ethic. I'm currently unemployed. I usually have availability on Saturday, and Sunday. If I am available during the weekend I will update my schedule, otherwise that's my availability. I cannot offer boarding in my home because I live in an apartment where each pet in my home needs to be paid for and accounted for by my apartment management but I will treat your animals and living spaces like royalty and respect all responsibilities asked of me while I care for your pets in your home.

About: I love to walk! Having a buddy or two walking with me is even better. The age doesn't matter. Young is great because they are active and I want to stay active. I enjoy playing fetch. I do like wrestling (the big ones) and some aggressive belly rubbing. Sometimes just chilling out for some petting or scratching works also. What schedule? I'm retired, so I have no schedule and plenty of time. I love mornings! Spending time around animals fits in my schedule just fine. I love to walk and play fetch with Baya or just rubbing her belly and scratching her head. She is elderly and has a sensitive tummy so is required to have a special made food (usually ground turkey or eggs and brown rice and a veggie. Keeping her weight under control helps keep her active.

“Titan was so sad when Cindy left. I got daily pictures and came home to a happy dog. Cindy even cleaned the sheets and towels she used. Top notch service and super friendly! Highly recommend Cindy and her husband!”

“Hedy was very good with our pets. We would have her pet sit for us anytime.”

About: I am an animal lover. I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life as well as goats, chickens, and an occasional bird. I’ve also rescued and/or raised squirrels, rabbits, and a raccoon. I am retired so I have plenty of time to care for your babies. My baby (chihuahua) has epilepsy so I’m familiar with sticking to routines and administering oral medication. I am really quite a home body. I do a lot of crocheting. The only time that is not negotiable is the first and third Saturday 7:00am to 2:00pm of each month when I try to sell my crochet items at the farmers market. Other than those few hours I’m available to care for your babies needs. I’m trustworthy and clean. I will follow your wishes. I can crate your pet or sleep with it. I currently sleep with my chihuahua and my cat. I love to cuddle with them. My dogs are on a schedule for their medications so I would do the same for babies.

About: I have been watching dogs since I was 8 years old. I have bred German Shepherd puppies most of my life with my family. Dogs are my passion and I love them lots! Would love to watch yours! Love working in The Villages as well! I work remote so I have the ability to watch dogs and even sit with them for a while and let them roam around while I work. I can stay at your house or just do drop ins if you’re more comfortable with that! Would love to talk on the phone prior and introduce myself! Thanks I would rather go to the owners house as I rent and my landlord does not allow pets right now. I do watch animals at my parents house!
