Today was Nikki's 2nd visit with our king shepherd lucian. He absolutely loves Nikki and how she is with him. She's caring and loving and playful. He has lots of energy and loves playing and for her to teach him things. I look forward to her future visits with him. I'm very proud that we requested her to come and interact with him.

Ashley was absolutely fantastic as my pet sitter! She took great care of my kitties, spending time with them to make sure they felt comfortable and safe while I was away. I really appreciated the photo updates—seeing their happy faces gave me such peace of mind. It’s clear that Ashley truly cares about animals, and I could tell my pets were in great hands. I’ll definitely be using her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring sitter.

I am experienced and can care for your pet as needed. Whether it be taking it slow and loving on the older ones or plying tug of war or tag with the energetic ones.

Tiffany did an excellent job and my husband & I would definitely use her again. She truly cared about our outdoor cat and took the time to find her and connect with her whenever possible. She was also very reliable, kind and polite. My family & I could just relax on our vacation knowing our cat was in good hands.

About: Pet care experience Last minute booking is no problem. I love all animals and they love me. I am retired so I can hang out with your pets 24/7. I treat each precious soul like they are a part of my family. Giving your loved ones a massage is the ultimate relaxer when you are away. I've owned dogs and cats my entire life. It only takes one lick to win my heart.Of course, animals are fun and rewarding. The love you give them is surpassed by the love you receive. There is no job too small or too big. I am flexible, available, and attentive to all details. I can adjust pricing according to number of pets and requirements. I recently retired from the business world and I am flexible to needs of owners. This will be my new ‘job’ that I am committed to. At home my dogs are always on leash and are never allowed out on their own. I will provide care that the owner expects. Safety will be my main concern for your furr baby.

About: I’ve always had dogs/cats growing up and I have lots of experience with dog and cat sitting. I used to have a large breed senior dog from the shelter and two outdoor cats but now we just have a middle aged doodle. Although recently my family and I have adopted 2 puppies. So I have lots of experience being around and caring for dogs and cats of all different breeds, sizes, and ages. Other than helping take care of my own dogs and taking them on walks, feeding them, teaching them basic commands, cleaning up after them, and bathing them, I have also had experience watching other dogs and cats than my own as well. I recently cared for and watched a very large breed dog for about a week and walked him twice everyday, fed him, and of course gave him lots of love and pets! I am a soon to be graduating senior at Rollins College and I would love the opportunity to incorporate pet care/dog walks into my daily/weekly routine! I don’t have any pets of my own while I am living and going to school in Florida so I have a pretty open schedule, just classes at the college for a few hours a day. CLASS (cannot book during starting Jan. 13) -MONDAY/WEDNESDAY: 1-3:45 -TUESDAY: 11-3 -THURSDAY: 11-3, 4:30-7 I currently live in an apartment on the lake that I love to take walks around! There’s a lot of green space for dogs to run around and I would be more than happy to care for your pet around my home. Although, when watching a client’s animal I am willing to conform to however the client would like me to care for their animal! I just want to make you and your pet happy ❤️

About: I'll take care of your pet like it is my own. Boarding, drop in visits, cat care, Dog walks, play time, feed or water. I can also clean up their area or whatever is needed. I was raised on a farm with lots of animals and I believe they are one of God's most wonderful creations! A pet is one of His special gifts to mankind. They are part of the family, not just an animal. I am very good with all animals. They seem to trust me. I speak in a gentle voice to them and let them know they are loved and safe. I will make sure all is secure before leaving your home. I'm home most days and will have plenty of time to look after your pet. I may need to step out for a short time some days and my sister who is also a pet sitter will gladly look in on them. She lives next door to me. I only have a senior Dachshund and a cat indoors, so your pet will be safe. I can walk your dog on a leash outside. We have small friendly outside dogs.

This was the first time we had someone drop in that the dogs didn't know. Our youngest dog was not welcoming at her first drop in visit despite meeting her ten days prior. She worked with him and he ended up in her lap the second visit. She was great to our dogs and great to us. We would highly recommend Brandi and will use her services again. In fact, we have already booked her again. Thanks Brandi.

I cannot recommend Rose enough to take care of your animals! She did a phenomenal job checking in on my 2 dogs, went above and beyond to make sure they were taken care of and was accommodating to some last minute changes/booking that she was able to work into her schedule. Can’t thank her enough!

About: I have taken care of many pets over the years. We always had a dog or two when I was growing up. My girl(Gracie- Beagle) is a senior and my other dog (Maui- Bernese Mountain Dog) is a big teddy bear! I work 4 days a week 7am-5pm. So if your dog would be ok in my house while I’m at work I would love to have them! I am home Friday- Sunday though if you need a weekend sitter or daycare! Let me know if your pet is crate trained or if they normally stay out in your house! I have a fenced in back yard! But I do prefer for pets to be house trained. One of my dogs stays in a crate during the day when I have to work because he tears stuff up. I also only take one client at a time in my house unless you have more than one dog! I prefer not to mix multiple pets together that don’t know one another.

About: I’m an energetic mom whose kids have gone off to college! I have a passion for all animals and have worked on a farm and cared for: all size dogs - especially big dogs, cats, rabbits, fish - including saltwater, goats, ducks, chickens, parakeets, horses and cows, turtles and snakes. I have rescued many and volunteered at the shelter. Dogs and rabbits are my specialty. I have nursed many pets back to health. I’m very experienced working with pets who need special care; administering shots and medication. I promise to do it “your way” because you know what is best! I will talk to your pets and play with them and love them. Safety and cleanliness are top priorities along with making your pooch feel as comfortable as possible. I have a passion for dogs! They are pure spirits in furry bodies and here to shine light in our lives. I'm honored to have the opportunity to take care of your pets and will love them as if they were my own. I am not able to watch any pets in my home at this current time. Thank you for understanding. God bless. Perhaps we can discuss it over the phone.

About: My wife and I would like to open our home for your special doggy (or doggies). We absolutely love animals and have worked with some rather difficult breeds and individuals, and are confident in the level of comfort, love, and success each animal would have with us. Any and all breeds welcome! :) I am open to negotiating all prices for extended stays, to an extent! We offer dog sitting, bathing, walking, and any other activity you may want your pet to experience! I work from home and my wife stays with me, caring for our chickens and our home. I spend a couple of hours a day with our chickens and hope to get some more animals soon. We have a very large yard. It is currently not fenced. However, there are many parks and walking spots we take my in-laws' dogs to.
