I have a corporate background with an extremely nurturing and loving spirit! I'm a mamma at heart and love nurturing. It's extra rewarding to me knowing my care is blessing your furbaby and your family! Welcome to the family! We treat our animals and yours as if they are our children, with extreme care, abundant love, and tenderness. I take management and house-sitting seriously and run a tight ship. We're about quality, not quantity. I offer all of the services, dog walking, house & dog/pet sitting in my home or yours. Watching over your furbaby fulfills my need to nurture and give lots of snuggles, especially since I am a recent “empty nester”. You can also be assured that with my years of professional experience and background, I will safely and lovingly care for your pet and home (if required) with attention to detail. Be prepared for daily logs & pictures! Over the years I have worked extensively with dog trainers and am experienced in dog training. If you are interested in training needs, please let me know and we can discuss these needs specifically. See "DETAILS - WHEN SABRINA WATCHES YOUR PET" section to get great insight into a typical day with me in our home! ABOUT ME Professional Experience: Serial entrepreneur who has founded and owned several businesses for over 20+ years in a corporate environment. Have had many dogs and cats as family members throughout my 40+ years of life, everything from a 100 lb lab to a 10 lb mini doxie! Currently, an "empty nester" who has slowed her corporate life down to enjoy a simpler and more peaceful life. My husband and I work from home for our family business (Mark Metternich Photography, you can google if you're interested) when not traveling. I love snuggles, nurturing, and being a caregiver which makes for a perfect combo to offer special care 24/7 for your furbaby. Personal Life: Wife to an amazing husband who loves 4 legged furbabies as much as I do. Mom of three human sons who are 19, 22 & 23. Mommy to 2 mini dachshunds. Homelife: Blessed to live in a wonderful beachfront condo neighborhood. People living in the home along with myself and my husband, Linda aka "Maw Maw" who is grandma extraordinaire and also pet sits. Interesting and Rewarding: One of the most rewarding experiences of my life with was rescuing a very small and malnourished kitten in the desert while my husband and I were with clients leading a photography workshop (that’s the family business, my husband is a nature photographer:) She was scared and so thin. We were able to give her immediate care and soon after a visit to the vet. She flew home with us to be part of our family. Another highlight of my four-legged experiences is breeding one litter of pups for my Gracie and Biggie (mini Doxies). All pups now live with family members and closest friends except for one, we kept her and her name is Mercy! I look forward to taking care of you and your family :) I work from home/remotely for our family business so am available to be with your pet during the day for walks and visits, to overnights up to 24/7 care never leaving their side. Safety and trust are the basis for excellent care. I have many references and am happy to have you reach out to them for your comfort and confidence.

“Bionca was a life saver!! My wife was out of town so she came over for three days to walk my dog and play with my cat while I was at work. She went above and beyond and made sure to keep me updated and sent a lot of pictures. I would highly recommend Bionca to watch your pets. We will definitely have her take care of Molly and Binx next time”

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring pet lover who treats every pet like family. I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities, and I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, even over nights all while giving lots of love while you’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’d love to meet your furry friend! I currently work from home so it’s easier for me to naturally fit pet care into my daily routine. I plan my schedule so I can give pets the attention they deserve—whether that’s morning and evening walks, feeding times, playtime, or just keeping them company. I’m used to building my day around making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for, and I’m happy to adjust my routine to meet each pet’s individual needs. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow the pet’s usual schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest, and make sure they get plenty of attention and affection. I keep a clean, safe environment and always watch for any changes in behavior or needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I also respect their space and follow any specific instructions they provide so their pet feels secure in their familiar environment.

I have a wide range of product knowledge and general knowledge to help care for your animals I manage a pet store but have a flexible schedule . Morning , afternoon , and evening shifts are possible . Especially with enough notice My animals are on a special diet, they are walked multiple times a day and they have multiple different engagement toys to entertain them !

About: Love pets. I know, first hand, the importance of taking care of a pet in the pet owners absence. It is an important task that I’ve done for many people for many years. I even pet sit a tortoise for more than a month. The tortoise received the same level of care and attention the dogs and other pets received. Put your mind at ease and allow me to watch your pet so that you can be worry free! Please note I’ve had to leave my dog with a sitter and I know and have experienced the importance of leaving a pet with someone and placing your pet in a different environment. I will provide comfort and care always for your pet. I work from home so I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pet. I can give them as many or as little walks as you or they want or like. I can feed, bath, walk, run, cuddle, snuggle your pet as much as needed or requested. I am very flexible either way! I know how important exercise and interaction is with a pet so they will definitely get the attention they need and deserve!

“Payton took such good care of my dogs!”

About: Ive owned dogs throughout the course of my life. From small dogs to big ones and everything in between! I would love to get to care for your fur babies no matter the age, size or breed! I have a very flexible schedule and can do full time and part time depending on what your needs are including multiple drops in visits or walks! I have a fenced in back yard and live in a quiet neighborhood close to parks and the beach. I am very active and can provide exercise for the more energetic pups!

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life, starting with rabbits, then cats, Miniature Pinschers, Frenchies, and now my Cane Corso. I’m deeply connected to animals and treat them like family. I understand their emotional needs, study their behavior, and find so much joy in being around them. I also help friends and family with their pets, so I’m experienced with all personalities and temperaments. Whether it’s a puppy or a senior dog, I’ve got the patience and love to match. I work part-time, so I have plenty of availability to care for your pet! I’m open on weekends and weekdays. I can also be flexible—just send me a message, and we’ll make it work! I live in a clean, pet-friendly home with lots of space and a dog park just steps away. I have two friendly dogs and a cat who are used to being around other animals. If your pet prefers to be alone or isn’t comfortable with other animals, I can easily keep mine crated to ensure a calm and safe environment. Otherwise, they’re happy to play and make new friends. Your pet’s comfort and safety always come first!

About: I have had 2 dogs and a cat for the past 13 years and they are an extension of my family. Since college I’ve cared for my friend’s animals while they’ve gone on vacation or out of town. I’ve dropped into their home every few hours and have hosted them at my place. While caring for your animals, their physical safety is a top priority. Whether it be while they’re interacting with other animals at the dog park, or we bump into another pup while on a walk, I will always make sure they are well and no harm comes their way. I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your furry babies. Taking a long walk outdoors is a part of my daily routine. I love to care for animal’s needs from walking them, feeding them, petting them, or giving animals time to interact with other animals at a local park.

About: Ever since I was a small child and fell in love with my best friend, a German Shepherd mix named Shilo, I have been a friend to the animals. I am also a cat lover and my family have always had feline companions. I love to walk and play and I will take good care of your babies. I have done a lot of house sitting over the years and will look after your home as though it were my own. Any questions, feel free to ask. Thank you 🙏 I am a writer, copywriter and a grant writer. I was born and raised here in DeLand and have recently returned back to live in my hometown. I am a mature, experienced, educated and responsible woman. I love all creatures, big and small and love to go on long walks and adventures.

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. As a dog owner, I know the importance of patience, trust-building, and creating a safe environment where pets feel comfortable and loved. My rescue dog, Orville, has taught me the value of meeting dogs where they are, whether they need extra reassurance, structure, playtime, or simply a calm companion. I take the time to learn each pet’s habits and preferences so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free while their family is away. I have always enjoyed helping friends, family, and neighbors by caring for their pets. While I have not provided pet care professionally before or through a platform like Rover, I have plenty of hands-on experience caring for animals and understanding their needs. My experience may not be formally documented, but it comes from years of genuine care, responsibility, and love for all animals. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and communicative. Your pet will be treated with the same care, respect, and affection I give my own. Thursday through Saturday, I have flexible availability and can provide care throughout the day. I currently work four days a week until 3 PM, so Sunday through Wednesday I'm available after 3 PM. I am happy to work with your pet’s schedule and routine! I love spending time in my own backyard, but I also enjoy exploring new places! My pup loves adventures, so we often visit on-leash parks for walks, fresh air, and new experiences. I enjoy giving dogs opportunities to safely explore, get exercise, and enjoy the world around them while always keeping their comfort and safety a priority. Play is a constant in our household! I believe playtime is about more than just fetch. I enjoy incorporating scent games, enrichment activities, and mentally stimulating games into a dog’s routine to help keep them happy and engaged (esp. if it's extremely hot or rainy)!
