Jennifer was attentive and caring with our dog, Ben. She gave him the time and attention that we were looking for. Ben does not like being alone and she helped to ease his anxiety. Jennifer was in constant communication with messages, photos, and videos. She was also very fast to respond and answer questions. I would definitely use her again.

About: Whether it be in a time of need, vacation, or work related I understand that we all need a helping hand sometimes when it comes to pet care. About me: I grew up on a hobby farm in the middle of the country in the Midwest and have grown up caring for animals my whole life. I have had many dogs through the years and have experience with obedience, leash, and potty training. As well as senior dog care relating to gentle care and medication needs. At this time, I have two young children and a senior dog at home that love other animals. I would be happy to help out with any of your pet care needs. Availability: Currently, I work part time from home so have flexible availability. I spend most of my time outside working, gardening, and playing with my dog so I would love to have more pet friends visiting or me traveling to your home for a visit. I am available Monday thru Friday all day and some weekends. My Yard: My yard is safe and secure. I have a privacy screened fenced yard with a medium senior Labsky to keep your pets company. If your pet requires a crate we can discuss these needs as well. We have a clean, pet safe home to keep your pet comfortable while you are away or needing extra help.

About: 🐾 Our family has been proud dog owners for over 15 years. I have taken our dogs through professional training and have plenty of hands-on experience with pups of all sizes and personalities. Between our own dogs and our extended family’s, we’re comfortable with a wide variety of breeds and love treating every pet like part of the family. I am home most days and have a flexible schedule for walks, playtime, or drop-in visits. Whether it’s morning walks, mid-day potty breaks, or evening snuggles, I am happy to work around your pet’s routine to make sure they feel safe, loved, cared for, and enjoy staying with us. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pets are in good hands. In our home, safety and trust always come first. Its important to me that very dog feels comfortable and secure, whether they’re here for a short visit or a longer stay. Our environment is calm, clean, and pet-friendly — plenty of space to play, rest, and feel at ease. Every dog is treated like our own, with gentle care, structure, and lots of love so you can relax knowing your pet is safe and happy.

About: I’m an experienced pet lover with 4+ years caring for dogs of all sizes, cats, and other animals. I’ve taken care of pets since I was little, and I always treat them like family. I’m reliable, gentle, and committed to keeping your pets happy, safe, and comfortable. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. I make time every day for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, and I’m flexible with my schedule so I can adjust to each pet’s needs. Whether it’s early-morning walks, mid-day visits, or evening care, I fit pet care smoothly into my day because it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully to keep the pet’s routine as normal as possible. I handle feeding, walks, litter or potty clean-up, playtime, and any special care the pet needs. I also keep the home tidy, respect their space, and make sure the pet feels safe and cared for while the owner is away.

About: I was the owner/operator of GoodFellas Doggy Daycare, Saugus, MA. Which closed upon my relocating to Port Charlotte, Fl. Professionally, I have over 14 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve built trusted relationships with both dogs and their owners by providing safe, structured, and attentive care rooted in a deep understanding of canine behavior. I was also the dog trainer for GoodFellas conducting group and private classes for over 10 years teaching obedience and basic manners to all age dogs. I also have knowledge of nutrition and health and well being of dogs; from puppy to adult. I have recently moved to the Port Charlotte, Florida area. I thoroughly enjoyed working with the dogs and their humans back home and would love to continue that endeavor. Dogs are my routine. I have 2 super friendly Golden Retrievers and a lazy basset hound. They all attended GoodFellas Doggy Daycare and have great social skills. I care for each dog as an individual. I take the time to learn their routine, energy level, and any special needs or behavioral cues. Walks are calm, structured, and tailored to the dog—whether that means exercise, enrichment, or a slower pace. Safety is always my top priority, and I use my training and daycare experience to ensure every pet feels secure, respected, and well cared for. I treat every dog as if they were my own.

I dread leaving my fur babies (5 cats) when I have to travel but having Sandy visit twice a day for drop-in visits really helped ease my mind. She was on time, took great care of everyone and even brought new toys to interact with them. I'll definitely ask Sandy to care for our cats again next time! 😺

About: I’ve been a dog lover since I was a baby. My family has always had a dog in the home. We have had a Boarder Collie, German Shepherds, Labs and mixed pups. I have always been very loving with my pets and have always trained them to not be loud except in dangerous situations. I love to just spend time, walk, and play catch with dogs. Right now we are super busy with sports and school but I stay at home so I’m available most of the time. I am available during the weekends and will be able to have a dog at our home or can come to your home. Whatever makes your dog happiest! I have a huge fenced in yard which is perfect for dogs to run around and play. I do spray for bugs and ants so that isn’t an issue. I do have lizards that our puppies love to chase. I do have a pond in our backyard but we have a fence. The dogs like to watch the birds and bunnies. I do pick up doggy duties right after so don’t worry about your buddy trying to eat others. I know some dogs do that. YUCK! I do have older children that love all pets, however I will always be 100% responsible your pets.

Sofie did an excellent job taking care of our 2 dogs. Theo our one year-old Chihuahua and Sophie our 12-year-old Pomeranian. We were able to enjoy our vacation without any worries that she was giving them love and attention. She communicated daily and kept us up-to-date on her visits. We would highly recommend sofie and plan on asking her to watch our dogs again in June.
