Dog Sitting in Palmetto Bay

“We booked Pia at short notice to look after our 4 cats. Pia was super responsive and was great with our cats who can be a bit of a handful, especially given there are 4 of them. Pia sent us regular pictures and videos while we were away and we really felt the cats were in safe hands.”

About: From raising and bottle-feeding kittens to training and walking high-energy dog breeds (uncertified training for the joy of it) to cleaning horse stalls, I know that pet care takes careful, loving work! Whether you need someone just to be attentive and in the same space as your low-energy pet, long walks and lots of play for your high-energy pet, or high communication, special care for a higher- needs pet, I am ready to meet you and your pet’s needs. I am currently in between my college studies and a job in the fall, so I have very open availability! I am a classical musician, so I may have some weekend nights that I am out performing or rehearsing for a few hours, but I am willing to discuss and meet your time and care needs for your pet(s). I would like to care for your pets as closely to the same way that you do, so it is helpful to know routines for your pet, such as getting a treat after using the potty, eating schedule, walk schedule, amount of cuddles/play time they typically enjoy, crating/no-crating, etc. I will be available for as much communication as you would like while I care for your pet(s) and love sending you cute pics of your pet!

“Donovan was great with our pets! We have a dog and three cats at home and he took care of all of them for the weekend. Our dog Odin was especially happy to see him each visit. Thank you Donovan!”

“Alexis was amazing with our cats! We were nervous leaving them at home for a week, but quickly felt comfortable with Alexis taking care of them. She sent a ton of pictures and the cats seemed to love her! Will definitely come back to her in the future!”

About: I have experience caring for a wide range of pets—including dogs and cats of all ages, as well as small animals like hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, and even chickens. Whether it’s walking energetic pups, providing calm companionship for senior pets, or making sure small animals are safe and comfortable, I bring patience, reliability, and genuine care to every visit. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt to each pet’s unique needs—whether that’s medication routines, special diets, or just knowing when they need a little extra love and attention. I really take the time to get to know each pet and what makes them feel safe and happy. I treat every animal like they’re my own, and I’m committed to providing a stress-free, trustworthy experience for both pets and their families. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I work Monday-Friday 9-5, so I have plenty of free time on weekends to give pets the attention they need. I’m home most of the day when I’m not working and always happy to help accommodate different schedules, whether it’s walks, drop-ins, house sitting, or boarding. I’m used to managing multiple pets with different needs. Caring for animals isn’t just part of my day, it’s something I truly enjoy. I provide a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment where your pet can feel comfortable. I live with two friendly dogs, a social cat, and a bunny who are all used to being around other animals. My backyard is fully fenced, with a small garden, and a tree for shade, perfect for supervised outdoor time. Inside, I keep things clean and relaxed. I can easily separate pets if needed and set up playpens or cozy areas depending on your dog’s comfort level. Whether your pet is playful or prefers their own space, I’m happy to adjust to their needs and make sure they’re always safe and well cared for. I also follow any instructions closely in clients’ homes to maintain routines and comfort.

I am comfortable grooming, brushing, bathing, administering medication, or tending to a dog on their old age . I believe that attention to detail and a warm heart are my greatest strengths. My apt is attached to a "bark park" for daily exercise. All doggys have free roam of my house. Dogs are allowed on the sofa and in bed for snuggles. I live to love all animals like Steve Irwin.

“Nicola took great care of my little 12 year old Maltese named Sugar with twice a day visits. She administered medications by mouth, prepared special diet food and made sure that my home remained clean. She sent daily photos sometimes as many as 20 confirming that Sugar was happy, healthy and eating well.”

About: I love all animals! I have the most knowledge with dogs as I have dealt with senior, aggressive, pregnant dogs and raised litters of puppies. I previously owned a blind dog with cushions disease, that suffered from seizures. I have also been a medical foster for dogs and cats, where I gained experience with pregnant animals, helped them with giving birth, and raising the litter. I am currently in nursing school. Rover makes it easy for me to fit a job into my schedule rather than a traditional job with a set schedule. As someone who loves her pets, I know it can be hard to trust someone you don’t know. I treat all pets in my care as if they were my own.

About: I grew up in France surrounded by animals including dogs, cats, horses, and even chickens, so caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. Ever since I was little, I’ve naturally connected with animals and genuinely love being around them. Honestly, everywhere I go, you’ll probably see me petting the animals before even saying hi to the humans first. I’m 27 years old and currently have a 12 year old dog named Lilo and a 4 year old cat named Phoenix, so I understand both senior pet care and the attention pets need to feel safe and loved. I also horseback ride weekly, which means animals are truly part of my everyday life. As a nursing student, I’m responsible, patient, dependable, and attentive to details. I will always care for your pets with kindness, affection, and the same level of attention I would want for my own animals. I’m currently in nursing school, so my schedule can vary slightly throughout the week, but I always make time for animals. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I already care for my own pets daily and spend a lot of time around animals. I’m available for walks, drop in visits, and pet sitting, and I’m very reliable with communication, feeding schedules, medications, and giving pets lots of attention and affection. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I understand how important trust is when leaving your animals with someone else, and I will care for them as if they were my own. I’m very attentive to routines, feeding instructions, medications, behavior changes, and making sure pets feel calm, safe, and loved.I’m naturally patient, responsible, detail oriented, and comfortable handling different personalities, including senior or anxious pets.

About: I’ve taken care of cats for many years now. I used to clean houses and sometimes they would incorporate dogs/cats in them. They are the sweetest critters in the planet I’m currently a student and I work part-time but i will never hesitate to take my dog on a walk to the park or just a little play time. I am always home and in a five person household, i am the one that feeds both pets and walks the dog. I live in an apartment but I am very attentive to my pets. I own a cat and a dog, both are collared and dog is leashed at all times.

“Yumeng is so great with my dogs, she goes above and beyond to make sure they are well taken care of. My dogs have alot of energy and make alot of mess, but she handles them very very well, would definitley reccomend her services! :)”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and currently have one of my own, so I know how special pets are. Over the past five years I’ve helped family and friends take care of their pets, walking, feeding, playing, and giving lots of cuddles. I love animals and treat every pet like they’re part of my family, making sure they feel happy and safe while you’re away. I’m available every day, and my schedule is very flexible. I’m looking for part-time pet care, so I can give your furry friends the attention they deserve. I’m comfortable caring for pets in your home, following your routines, giving plenty of attention, and keeping your space clean and safe. I also live in a spacious 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom, pet-friendly home with a fenced backyard, perfect for playtime and relaxation. My friendly black lab-Australian shepherd mix is always excited to make new friends, there’s plenty of room for your furry companion to feel comfortable and at ease in our home.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for over 10 years. Family, friends and neighbors have trusted me with their animals and have relied on me to take care of them. I have experience bathing, walking, feeding and playing with cats and dogs. I am a full time teacher but I am available every day after 4pm and on weekends to take care of your furry pet! I can make visits every day on the weekdays if needed. I have an apartment where I can easily crate your animal if needed. As I mentioned, I do have a cat of my own, so your animal would need to be in a crate or I can house them in my room/bathroom to keep the animals separate.

“Jennifer was great to work with. If you are staying at Larry and Penny Thompson campground she can take great care of your dog so you can day trip without worries. My dog was happy to see me but not upset about my extended absence, thanks to Jennifer!”
