Dog Sitting Redington Shores

About: I’ve been a huge dog lover my entire life and have taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 5 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have always relied on me to check in on, feed, walk, and play with their pets. A few years ago, beginning in 2023, I was very active on Rover with many happy regular clients and excellent reviews. My husband is also a big dog lover, but I will be your dog’s primary sitter. We both work from home, so your pup will get plenty of attention, walks, and love throughout the day. We have three of our own dogs (two Boston Terriers and a Schnauzer/Pug mix) and three kids (ages 7, 10, and 12). Our dogs are very well-socialized and great with children, so we’re comfortable with kid-friendly pups. My mother also lives in our backyard in a mother in law suite with her small, friendly terrier mix who occasionally visits our home. All of our dogs are very friendly, but as with any dogs, it usually takes them just a few minutes (typically under 5 minutes) of proper introductions and sniffing to get comfortable with a new friend. We have a large, securely walled backyard surrounded by a sturdy concrete wall. Our entire block is designed this way (we live one street over from the intercoastal), and the walls were built to also serve as a protective barrier against storm surge. It’s a very safe, private space for dogs to run and play (even for little escape artists 🥰). We’re happy to provide treats (all made in the USA), toys, snuggling on the furniture, and even bed privileges — we love it when dogs feel right at home with us! That said, we’re also happy to follow any specific rules you have about furniture or sleeping arrangements. A couple of important notes for the best match: • We are not able to accept unfixed male dogs as we have had experience in the past with aggressive male dogs who are not neutered. That said, we are open to non-neutered males who we meet in advance and who are not the historically more aggressive breeds. We do now have a male Boston Terrier, who is not currently neutered and is as sweet and passive as can be. • We cannot sit for unfixed females (for obvious reasons)! Our female Boston IS fixed. • Because we have young children, we cannot accommodate dogs with special or restricted diets (our kids occasionally sneak table food despite our best efforts). • We’re very experienced, responsible, and genuinely care about every dog we watch. We’d love to give your pup a safe, fun, and loving home away from home! • We are more than happy and I actually love to send pictures so everyone can see their babies and rest assured and they are having a blast and getting plenty of snuggles and love! ❤️ I work full-time, but work exclusively at home as as does my husband. My kids are currently home for the summer, they too love all dogs and love to go outside in the backyard and play their favorite games. Please note we do have an unfenced pool, so if your pup is elderly or has vision issues, we can discuss on an individual basis. We are generally available on both weekdays and weekends, although there are weekends where we are out of town, which I will update regularly so that anyone looking for a sitter is able to clearly see our availability. I offer day visits and overnight sitting exclusively at my home, where I provide attentive, personalized care in a calm and structured environment. Each day includes regular potty breaks, interactive play sessions, daily walks, and plenty of affection based on your dog’s unique personality and needs. My space is pet-proofed with comfortable resting areas, toys, and a secure yard for safe outdoor time. I keep a close watch on all pets and maintain consistent routines to help them feel relaxed and secure. As mentioned, I am more than happy to send daily photo and text updates so you can see how your dog is doing and feel confident they’re happy and well cared for.

About: Dogs, cats, lizards, birds & fish I have had them all. I have always loved animals sometimes even more than people! I have cared for many friends and neighbors, cats, and dogs, and does a recent transplant to Florida. I would love to care for your pets as well. I currently have three Ragdolls of my own and recently lost my baby of 18 years an American Eskimo. I have extensive experience with both cats and dogs as well as other animals provide excellent care at any stage of life. Pet will never know you were gone! Please contact me with any questions. I currently make my own schedule, so I have plenty of time to play with your fur babies! I can provide 2 to 3 drop ins a day or stay in your home. I have vast experience with cats & dogs of every age so no matter what age your fur baby is I can adapt to their needs.

“Andrea is a gem! I’m so happy I found her and met with her to potentially visit our frenchies. She was so organized and took notes and kept in consistent contact with me. Very punctual and appears to really love dogs. One Frenchie is alpha and very protective and it seemed that she was able to interact and take her potty on a leash and stroll her and play with her afterwards in our condo with no problems. Lucy, the Frenchie, got a great report card from Andrea. I think Andrea will come back. We are only part-time residents in Madeira Beach but I will definitely reach out to book her again. Makes my life so much easier. Thank you Andrea for being a dog lover and doing this service. 🥰”

“This was our first time using Kimberly to let our dog, Abby, out three times a day while we were out of town for the weekend, and we were beyond impressed. Her updates were incredibly thorough—she shared what they did together, how much Abby ate, and even how the house secured. She also sent plenty of photos, which we truly appreciated. When we arrived home, Abby was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. It’s obvious that Kimberly genuinely loves dogs. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her services.”

“Jillian was wonderful and took great care of our lab mix and yorkie. We came in from out of town and were worried about leaving our pups. She was so accommodating and made us feel instantly comfortable that they would be in good hands! They were! Thanks Jillian! We definitely will use you whenever we are in town!!”

About: Originally from Webster, NY where for over 15 years I offered dog boarding, daycare and training in a dog friendly home with a cage free, fun setting for social dogs. During that time, I was referred to by several local veterinarians and trainers. I have relocated to St Petersburg, FL and would love to offer special care for your loved pet. At this time I can offer drop ins, overnight stays and walks. I am a certified dog trainer who uses positive training techniques and is a Cornell University Graduate of Animal Science/Canine Behavior. My ultimate goal is to offer top notch care and experience for you and your pup. Many of my clients have stated that they loved to bring their pup to me because they run right up to me and don't want to leave which warms our hearts! Our clients and their families become an extended family. Join our family today! I will be available for drop ins, overnights or walks to start with. Just getting my feet wet in the area. I plan to offer more services as needed. Doesn't hurt to ask. :) I may be able to bring animals to my residence, depending on distance, time and temperament. I take precautions while walking and transporting your pet to ensure their safety and comfort.

About: I've had dogs since I was a kid. I really enjoy being around all breeds and sizes of pups. I also enjoy fur babies of all ages. From puppies to senior pups, I will love and care for your dog like I do my own until you to return. I work part-time, so I have more than enough time to provide your fur baby with all the love and attention they need to stay happy while you're away. If you choose to board your pup with me, I will ensure their safety and care in my home. I have a fenced-in backyard and a friendly pup to keep yours company. To make sure the boarding process goes smoothly, I ask that we conduct a quick meet-and-greet outside of my house so our pups can get acclimated to each other. As for how I will care for your pet in your residence, I will come with treats (with your permission, of course) and enter calmly so as not to frighten your pet(s). I will let them lead our interactions and show them love and respect.

“Sally is absolutely amazing! I have a very shy and timid cat, but Sally was able to get her to come out of her shell and took great care of her. I would trust Sally anytime. She’s absolutely great with animals!”

About: Hi everyone! :) Thanks for stopping by! I’m open to dog walking/sitting opportunities in the Clearwater/Saint Pete areas! I’m a HUGE animal lover and grew up with two beagles who I absolutely loved with my whole heart, and I promise to love and care for your pets as if they were my own when you put them in my care. I have many years experience dog sitting for families and friends including other responsibilities such as bathing, feeding, walking & giving lots of cuddles!! I also used to volunteer at the lake humane society by taking the shelter dogs for walks and giving them lots of love! I’m originally from Ohio, and just started my career as a flight attendant in February! I also have a passion for photography, so if you ever wanted photos of your pets or of anything, then I’m your girl! I know my work schedule a month in advance, so I unfortunately can’t schedule anything later than that at the current moment. I will update my availability every month on here! I always make sure I ask the client lots of questions about their dog and their temperament, and whether or not there is a fence in the backyard.
