About: Experienced 3-dog owner Scott Shanfeld provides reliable, loving pet care. Skilled in handling all personalities and safety-focused, I’ll treat your pup like family! Pet care fits seamlessly by structuring your mornings and evenings around routine walks and feedings, while midday check-ins or longer weekend blocks handle extended service bookings and administrative tasks. Providing in-home pet care—whether it's overnight house sitting or dropping in for visits—is all about maintaining the pet's regular routine to keep them stress-free while their owner is away. Because pets are usually most comfortable in their own environment, keeping things consistent is key. Here is exactly how a professional in-home pet care setup typically works: 1. The Pre-Service Meet and Greet Before any care begins, a crucial first step is meeting the client and their pets at their home. This serves a few vital purposes: Introductions: Letting the pets get used to a new face while their owner is there to reassure them. Routine Walkthrough: Learning exactly where food, bowls, leashes, toys, and cleaning supplies are kept. Logistics: Securing home access (keys, lockbox codes, or alarm instructions) and collecting emergency contact info for the vet. 2. Maintaining the Routine The goal is to replicate the owner's exact schedule as closely as possible. Feeding & Medication: Serving precise portions at the exact times the pet expects them. If a pet requires medication (pills, ointments, or injections), getting clear instructions and tracking doses is a top priority. Exercise & Play: Going for walks, playing fetch, or engaging in interactive play to burn off energy and keep anxiety at bay. Bathroom Breaks: Ensuring dogs get out at regular intervals or keeping the litter box meticulously clean for cats. 3. House Manners & Security Caring for a pet in a client's home means treating the space with total respect. Home Care Basics: Bringing in the mail, watering plants, taking out the trash on pickup days, and alternating lights so the house looks occupied. Cleanliness: Promptly cleaning up any pet messes, wiping muddy paws at the door, and leaving the home exactly as it was found. 4. Communication & Updates Sending regular updates to the owner is one of the most important parts of the job. A quick text with a photo or two during a visit or at the end of the day goes a long way in giving them peace of mind while they are away.

“I will definitely re-book with Shay! She was great with my pets and took lots of cute pictures. She even brought in some chewy boxes that were delivered. I highly recommend!”

“Kathy was great with our two big dogs, and was able to accommodate us on really short notice. Our German Shepard mix warmed up to her, and she’s usually a little weary around new people. She took both of them on walks, and gave us updates with photos and videos, which I really appreciated! She also gave them treats and refilled the water bowls, they were happy campers by the time I got home from my long day!”

About: I grew up in an animal loving house. My first dog was in third grade when my parents gifted me a shih tzu. I also would care for dogs for my next door neighbors , friends and family have asked me to walk , feed and care for their dog if they were unable too . I currently finished school full time and until I finish a few more courses I can be flexible with my time to care and help with your dogs. Therefore If I mark I’m unavailable you may still ask if I’m available that specific day you need and I will do my best to accommodate or work around your dogs needs if I can depending what I have going on that day :) You can simply go over times you need your dog to be walked , fed, bathed and I will be more than happy to help.

As a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, I have the time and attention to provide dependable care through doggy daycare or drop-in visits for your furry family members. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. Whether I’m stopping by for a visit, providing potty breaks, feeding, playtime, or keeping your dog company during the day, my goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away.

About: Hi! I’m 22 years old, happily married, and a devoted dog lover living in Lakewood Ranch. My two pups, Apollo and Zora, are my best friends, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule and can provide plenty of attention, updates, and care throughout the day. 🐾❤️ Pet care is a big part of my daily life! As a work-from-home professional, I’m able to be around pets throughout the day and easily incorporate walks, playtime, feeding schedules, potty breaks, and lots of attention into my routine. I have two dogs of my own, Apollo and Zora, so caring for pets is already second nature to me. Whether it’s sticking to a specific schedule or providing extra cuddles and companionship, I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while in my care. 🐾💕 I care for pets by focusing on consistency, comfort, and attention to their individual needs. In my home or a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions from the owner.

About: I currently have two larger size dogs, golden and a lab mix. I have also grown up and taken care of other breeds and sizes! I also have experience in taking care of puppies if needed. Since I currently work full time, it fits as I get to determine my schedule and availability. Being a college student means my schedule can get pretty rigorous, this allows me to not only help others but also be able to focus on my studies. I will follow the clients needs and wants and make sure to respond accordingly. Take them for walks or play with them so they will have exercise. As well with taking them out and feeding them.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. In addition to being a dedicated dog owner, I’ve spent time pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors, as well as fostering dogs in need of a safe and loving environment. These experiences have taught me how important it is to understand each dog’s unique personality, routine, and comfort level. As the owner of a friendly Golden Retriever, I know firsthand how difficult it can be to leave your pet in someone else’s care. That’s why I strive to make every dog feel like part of the family while they’re with me. Whether your pup loves playing, going for walks, or simply relaxing and getting plenty of attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My goal is to provide reliable, personalized care and give pet parents peace of mind through regular updates, photos, and open communication. When your dog stays with me, they’ll be treated with the same love and care I give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals is already a big part of my life. I work mornings as a baker and am typically home by late morning or early afternoon, which allows me plenty of time for walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding schedules, and one-on-one attention. My own Golden Retriever keeps me active, so daily exercise and enrichment are already part of my routine. I strive to provide a structured, safe, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed while their owners are away. Whether your pet prefers active play or a quiet place to unwind, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care, attention, and plenty of affection throughout their stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a clean, pet-friendly home where dogs are supervised, treated with kindness, and cared for according to their individual needs and routines. I take the time to learn each pet’s feeding schedule, exercise requirements, personality, and any special instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure while away from home. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful, so I focus on creating a calm, welcoming environment and maintaining open communication with pet parents. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for throughout their stay.

About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs in my life. Friends and family have relied on me to care for their beloved pets. I grew up with Belgian Malinois, so I have had experience with highly intelligent, strong, energetic, large dogs for my entire life. I’m currently home from college! So I am available to work all day every day! I’m a college athlete so I do need to do my things to get ready for my upcoming season in the fall so please be a little flexible with me if you can BUT I will definitely help you’re dog let out lots of energy and get there daily exercise in running around either outside playing or on walks! In the clients home, I will play and engage with their dog, making sure they’re getting exercise, as well as feeding them, and walking them. I also like to spend time with the dogs to build trust between me and them, making sure they’re feeling safe!
