Ken did a great job with our Rottweiler Sofia. We were gone for several days. He did well encouraging her to eat. He was on time for the drop in visits, provided a picture of a happy girl, and gave helpful feedback. Ken is kind and gentle.

About: I am very familiar with many types of animals. From cats, dogs and hamster to small birds, small reptiles and fish. I am a current cat mom to three little fur babies. Feel free to message me with any questions! 💜 I’m a part time employee and mom so I am very flexible and adaptable to most peoples needs. I do not work on Fridays, Saturdays or Sundays though to ensure proper quality time with my family. I currently have one female Mainecoon and two male Manx cats. They are my little babies and they are definitely well beyond spoiled! We use pine pellets to ensure no clay dust particles infiltrate their airways and keep their water fresh with a running fountain. They get nothing but love and snuggles the other 50% of the time when they’re not enjoying their sun naps in the windows.

Saige went above and beyond in caring for my two dogs. One of them is undergoing heartworm treatment, and as a result is on many meds that make her incontinent. Saige was a trooper in keeping the house as clean as possible. She is also just as nice as can be. I would absolutely recommend her.

About: I have had rescues dogs and cats all my life. I have administered medicine, cared for both puppies and senior dogs. I understand the importance of establishing trust with them. I work from home so I am always around during the day and can accommodate as many potty and zoomie breaks as needed! I have a very flexible schedule so I can work around your schedule needs. Just let me know your care preference - walking, play time or just loving on your fur baby! I currently have a rescue that needs special care... he is diabetic and is not fond of hot afternoons so his schedule is tailored to both the weather and his needs!

About: Hello Pet Parents, my name is Elianna Shaffer and I’m excited to make new furry friends. I grew up with two cats and a dog. Now, as a young newlywed, we have our own kitty named Milo. He is our sweet, fun-loving, all black Bombay. I love cats and hope to foster kittens in the near future. Although I’m more familiar with cats, I’m ready to step out of the box and take care of some canines. I’m looking to walk dogs, cat sit, and other services upon request. I have experience with pet sitting for family and friends. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and a bird. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies!! I occasionally work at a Coffee shop from 7:30am-2:30pm. My schedule vary’s from week to week and I might be off as early as 11:30am depending on how busy the days are. I have Sunday’s guaranteed off because I go to church. Other than that I can be scheduled to work any day Monday-Saturday. Please feel free to ask me what my schedule looks like for the dates you would like me to be your pet caregiver. That way you can decided if my schedule will meet your needs and preferences. I would make sure to visit them right before and after I am done with my shifts. For house sitting I would come straight back to the house after work and be with them for the rest of the day. I have a screened in back porch for animals to get fresh air. We do not have a fenced in yard yet, but have access to my parents yard that is 5min away from our house. We have a nice neighborhood and parks nearby for walking. We have space to board cats and small to medium sized dogs. Will consider care for large/giant dogs upon request. Also willing to accommodate boarding, sitting, etc.. for more than two pets of the same house hold upon request.

As you know, it's so stressful trying to find someone who will care for your pets like you do, but Shari was absolutely fantastic for us! I've never seen our two cats act so well adjusted coming back from time away like they have with Shari taking care of them- We knew we were in perfect hands when we met her- She really cares about pets and their well-being. --Great communication, professionalism, and showed great care! We couldn't recommend her more! Thx Shari-

Dana did an amazing job. I got lots of updates and pictures. My dog loved her and I felt comfortable having her in the home while no one was there. She even went back to check on something after she had left. 13/10!

About: I have had both cats and dogs My entire life. After 16 AMAZING years with my dogs Axel and Lugnut, I have found myself with an empty nest. I'm not quite ready to adopt another yet, it is just too soon. However, I would love to hang out with your dog (or dogs!). I have experience with dogs both big and small, young and old, and my sweet girl who just passed was deaf, so I have experience with special needs. I have successfully fostered high risk dogs helping them find their perfect forever home. 🐾 I am a stay at home caretaker for my father-in-law, so I can provide around the clock care for your sweet puppers. I am also quite active, and love to take walks, so your good boy or girl will think they are on vacation! I have an unfenced yard, and I live within a 3 minute walk to a large park. My neighborhood is quiet and is sheltered from busy streets. I would love to have your dog come visit!

Maureen did a wonderful job taking care of our cat G while we were away. She sent pictures each day and was very specific about how she was doing. I felt very at ease knowing she was well cared for! I will definitely be using her again when we travel.

Family and friends have trusted me to care of their pets and now I’m just branching out to make more furry friends. I am currently an online student for Interior Design.

Due to having experience in the Interior Design world I am extremely respectful of my clients homes, as well as their animals. Stepping into a clients home is strictly business.

About: I love pets and just moved to the area with my family! We currently have none of our own so would be happy to help you spoil yours. My two year old has been around furry friends her whole life. We live on Gasparilla Island now so any pets on the island will be easy to let out as often as needed. Pets off the island that are not boarding with us can be let out every 4-6 hours. Although we do not have a fenced yard we will take your pet out for a walk multiple times a day! We have no pets and will only watch one families pets at a time if boarding. If walking we will take them out as often as the heat allows! Happy to take the dog to a park if off island.
