About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. From energetic puppies to gentle seniors! I’ve also handled dogs who are quite temperamental including my own dog, who can be quite temperamental at times. This personal experience has taught me the importance of patience, reading animal body language, and creating a calm, consistent environment that builds trust. As a remote worker with a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide consistent, attentive care for your pets throughout the day. Whether it’s potty breaks, playtime, medication, or just companionship, I’m available and fully present to meet all of your pet’s needs. When your pets are in my care, their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! You can trust that I’ll follow their routine closely, provide plenty of love and attention, and respond to their needs with care and compassion. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family—offering you complete peace of mind while you’re away.

“I felt relieved to have Lizzy providing care and companionship with my dogs. My dogs have quirks but didn’t phase her. Accepted, worked with it, and the dogs were well cared for. Dogs and I would choose her again.”

About: We had a yorkiepoo for 15 1/2 years. I don't want one of my own right now, can't go thru that loss again, it was awful. I also have two daughters, family and friends in Ohio, we travel a lot and don’t want to be tied down with a dog of our own. I get my “fix” by watching others dogs. Due to a family member allergies, I can not board a dog at my home that sheds. We moved here from Ohio in 2021. I am not working and would love to take care, play or walk your fur baby or babies. We live in a sub division with sidewalks and walking trails for your dog. Small yard but no fence. Your dog will get lots of love.

“Savannah did an absolutely amazing job when doing drop-in visits with my pups. She made me feel so comfortable about leaving my dogs in her care, which was such a relief. She genuinely cares about the animals and did everything possible to put me at ease while having to be away. Couldn't have been more grateful to have found her! Thank You Savannah!!!!”

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is the level of personalized care, attention to detail, and genuine love I bring to every pet I care for. I don’t just show up to feed and walk—I take time to understand each animal’s routine, personality, and special needs. Whether it's a shy cat who needs extra patience, a high-energy dog who loves long walks, or a senior pet with medication needs, I adjust my care to make them feel comfortable and loved. Pet care fits beautifully into my retired routine because I now have the time and flexibility to truly dedicate myself to it. Each day, I enjoy starting my morning with a walk or play session with the pets in my care—it keeps me active and gives structure to my day. Throughout the week, I schedule pet visits or overnight stays around my personal commitments, allowing me to be reliable and fully present for both the pets and their owners. Caring for animals brings me joy, purpose, and a sense of companionship, which is a wonderful complement to my retired lifestyle. Whether it's feeding, walking, playing, or simply offering comfort and company, I enjoy making each pet feel safe and loved while their families are away. Caring for your pet in their own home helps them feel safe, secure, and relaxed while you're away. Here's what I provide to make sure they receive the best care possible: 🐾 Familiar Routine I follow your pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and medications. Keeping things consistent helps reduce stress and keeps your pet happy. 🐾 Individualized Attention Every pet is different, so I adjust my care to meet their unique needs—whether that’s extra playtime, quiet companionship, or special handling for seniors or shy pets. 🐾 Safety & Wellness I monitor your pet’s health and behavior during each visit, and I’ll contact you right away if I notice anything out of the ordinary. Their safety is always my top priority. 🐾 A Clean & Comfortable Space I make sure food and water bowls are clean and full, litter boxes are scooped, and accidents are cleaned up promptly. Your home stays tidy, and your pet stays comfortable. 🐾 Communication & Peace of Mind You’ll receive regular updates with photos and notes so you can feel confident knowing your pet is being well cared for—even when you’re away.

“She did a great job taking care of my pets, and gave them pup cups which was a nice touch! The pics of them enjoying their pup cups were adorable!”

About: I grew up with animals all my life, i love animals and i love to play with them and take care of them. I currently have 3 pups and 3 cats. I can handle any dog big or small, high energy, timid, low energy, giant breeds. I also used to foster kittens and puppies until they were ready to be adopted. I also try to mimic there home routine as much as possible.

I am currently working part time at a doctors office, I go in at 9 and I am off around 1:30-2.

I also have a doggy door and a cat door for them into the lanai. I can also have a crate with me if it’s needed!

“Courtney had stopped over to meet Rylie and Heidi prior to me leaving to go out of town. The dogs seemed comfortable with her and vice versa. Courtney kept me updated throughout each day with texts and photos. She let me know that Heidi seemed wary about going outside. I offered a couple suggestions which Courtney tried and it was successful. She was easy to communicate with & I felt comfortable leaving my babies in her care. I would definitely rebook Courtney.”

“Tami was so kind and accommodating, and we are so grateful for the amazing care she took of our dog while on vacation. She truly went above and beyond. Would highly recommend her to anyone with a pup!”

About: I’ve had a dog ever since I was a child. The most dogs I’ve had at once is five and I loved it. There is nothing more fulfilling than having a dog, their love is unconditional. I’m committing myself to dog care full time. It’s my passion and something I really enjoy doing. Extending love and care to dogs whose owners need help will bless me. I will provide services to dogs on an individual basis as to what they require. Loving and caring for them as my own. Making sure to meet the owners needs for their dog.

About: With years of hands-on pet care experience, I provide a level of care that’s both professional and genuinely loving. I have extensive experience with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to seniors requiring special attention.I prioritize understanding each pet’s unique personality, routines, and comfort levels, creating a familiar, stress-free environment. With a commitment to reliable, quality service, I’m more than just a pet sitter—I’m someone your pet can count on, whether it’s for daily care, exercise, or that little extra attention they need to feel at ease while you’re away. As someone with a part-time job and a flexible work schedule, I’m able to adapt my schedule to accommodate walks, feeding times, and interactive play, making sure that your pet feels loved and engaged. Whether it’s a midday visit or evening cuddles, I prioritize creating a consistent and nurturing environment that fits both your pet’s routine and my personal routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my focus is on providing a safe, comfortable, and enriching experience tailored to each pet’s needs. By discussing the pet’s daily routine, dietary preferences, and any specific instructions or concerns the owner may have. This ensures I can deliver consistent care that aligns with their usual habits. During my visits, I ensure that pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, which helps keep them relaxed and happy. I am attentive to their behavior, watching for any signs of stress or discomfort, and I address their needs promptly. Additionally, I maintain the home’s cleanliness by following house rules and tidying up after the pets. By providing care in their familiar surroundings, I help pets feel secure while their owners are away, allowing them to maintain their routines and feel loved until they return.

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.
