Dog Sitting Safety Harbor

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet owner. I currently have two cats that I’ve cared for for the past 7 years, and I’ve also owned two dogs, giving me experience with both feline and canine care. Through caring for my own pets, I’ve become familiar with feeding schedules, providing fresh water, cleaning litter boxes, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and recognizing when a pet may need extra attention. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve watched friends’ cats on multiple occasions while they were away. I understand that every cat has a unique personality—some love attention and playtime, while others prefer a calm and quiet environment. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and preferences so they can feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. As a pet sitter, I strive to be reliable, patient, and attentive. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I will care for them as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs lots of play and interaction or simply a consistent routine and companionship, I’m committed to providing loving and dependable care. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and helping give you peace of mind while you’re away! 🐾 Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine. I care for my two cats every day by feeding them, refreshing their water, cleaning their litter boxes, and spending time playing and interacting with them. Having pets for many years has taught me the importance of consistency, patience, and paying attention to their individual needs and behaviors. As a college student, I’m organized and used to managing a schedule, which allows me to be dependable when it comes to pet care responsibilities. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I make time for it every day. Whether it’s providing companionship, sticking to a feeding schedule, or making sure a pet feels safe and comfortable while their owner is away, I take those responsibilities seriously. I provide pet care by following each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive plenty of attention and playtime, and have a clean environment. For cats, this includes litter box cleaning and enrichment through play and interaction. For dogs, this includes walks, exercise, and companionship based on their needs. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level, respecting their personality and giving them space when needed. My goal is to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to have someone reliable caring for your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own.

“So sweet and responsive. Has done great with the dogs and is very kind and patient towards them. She was very understanding of my dog’s reactivity and we worked together to find a solution where everyone was comfortable. This has been a such a relief knowing I have someone set up to watch the pups even for just a little bit during the day.”

“Wow, what a great job Peyton did with my 2 dogs! She went above and beyond. She was able to take my puppy, who is extremely energetic, on a long walk, and my pup is a real puller and pretty strong. I feel confident that my fur babies are in good hands while I am away from home. I am going to book her again for tomorrow morning. 😊”

Walks happen every morning and evening, we have a fully fenced in backyard and the dogs get plenty of mental stimulation with our every other day trips to the Enterprise dog park.

“Cassie, thank you so much for taking such great care of our kitties! After our horrible experience with our last Rover sitter, we really appreciate the wonderful job you did. You have restored our faith in using Rover.com again! We look forward to booking you again next time we need a cat sitter! Thanks again!”

“Stephanie is fantastic! 🐶💕 I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch over Domino. Stephanie has such a kind heart and went above and beyond each check in making sure Domino got lots of love and attention. She also sent amazing updates with pictures and details about their time together. Having Stephanie looking over Domino gave me such a big peace of mind that allowed me to enjoy my vacation worry free! 10/10 recommend Stephanie 🐾💌”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies to calm seniors. I focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while keeping their routines consistent. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I treat every pet like my own. I m a full time employee as a school teacher so I am off by 2pm everyday and free for the entire weekend.

I have a dog that does very well with others and loves playing with new friends so your pet will have plenty of company. My home is my pets’ home , they are allowed on furniture and beds so that they can feel comfortable and at ease. I have trails nearby, so there is plenty of new places to explore!

“Melissa is top notch. Very responsive and very kind. She politely told me she had another pet sitting obligation booked but was able to stop by afterwards which worked even better for me. My boy is older and does not walk stairs real well and she boosted him up the stairs from behind as well. Absolutely everything you hope for when you come on Rover. 5 stars would not be enough. Thank you Melissa!!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, growing up caring for friends’ and neighbors’ pets—from dogs and cats to birds, fish, chickens, and even llamas! My sweet dog Nyla crossed the rainbow bridge in July 2024, and caring for other dogs has been such a meaningful way to continue sharing that love. What makes my care special: • I only host 1–2 dogs at a time so your pup gets plenty of one-on-one attention • Calm, cozy home environment—perfect for dogs who prefer a quieter space • Lots of walks, playtime, and exercise (I live near great parks and trails!) • I enjoy running, so high-energy pups are absolutely welcome • Experienced with administering basic medications if needed While I don’t have a fenced yard, I make sure every dog gets safe, supervised outdoor time with plenty of exercise and enrichment. What you can expect: • Frequent photo and update messages 📸 • A safe, loving environment tailored to your dog’s needs My goal is simple: to make your dog feel comfortable, happy, and loved—while giving you total peace of mind while you’re away. Feel free to reach out with any questions—I’d love to meet you and your pup! 🐶 I work from home and have a flexible schedule which makes it easier for short notice or to be able to provide service if needed more than once a days. I try to learn as much as I can about your pet such as: routine, likes and dislikes, allergies, health concerns, etc to help make sure they feel safe and comfortable.

About: I have been raised around pets my whole life and have had 5 puppies we raised as a family. I have experience with potty training, walking, regular training, and just being playful with the dogs in general. I love animals and this is more fun for me than anything. I have free time throughout the week that I would love to dedicate to taking care of any animal that needs attention! I will be in town for some time and needing to make some extra money so I will have plenty of time. We have no pets so I will be able to give all my attention to any animal that needs it. We are staying in a complex that had plenty of grass area to play and also right across the street from a park. When at a clients home I would do as asked and give the pets plenty of love and attention and play time!

About: I have raised dogs all my life. I also have years of experience with cats, reptiles, and rabbits. I have potty trained many dogs and I’ve even taught my furry friends a few party tricks. Come and see! I work full-time as a school teacher. I am home on Saturdays and Sundays (aside from church) every week. Weekends are the best times to book boarding appointments with me. I am also available during many major holidays. I have a fenced-in backyard. I have three small dogs (under 15 pounds) and cats. I can separate my cats from your pet during the day if needed (as I have a furnished garage that they chill in). I also have a work sink where I can give animals under 20 lbs. baths. I live in a suburban environment in Dunedin, FL and I have extra medium-sized crates.

About: I've been caring for animals my entire life and have experience with both dogs and cats of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I've owned three dogs, two of these dogs I had throughout my childhood and one is the dog I own currently and currently own two rescue cats, and I've also cared for family members' and friends' pets while they were away. My experience includes caring for dogs ranging from 30-pound companions to large breeds such as Golden Retrievers and Dobermans. What sets me apart is my hands-on experience caring for pets with medical needs. When I adopted my rescue cats as kittens, both required medication and extra attention during their recovery. One had a respiratory infection, and the other was treated for a UTI. These experiences taught me patience, attention to detail, and the importance of closely monitoring an animal's health and behavior. Animals truly hold a special place in my heart. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every pet in my care with the same love, compassion, and respect that I give my own. Whether it's playtime, walks, cuddles, medication, or simply keeping them company, my goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. One of my lifelong dreams is to open a nonprofit animal sanctuary and continue helping animals in need. At the moment, I have a flexible and open schedule. This means I can fully dedicate my time, attention, and energy to caring for your pets and accommodating their needs. I will take the time to understand each pet’s individual routine and needs by asking pet parents how they typically care for their pet. I believe every pet is different, so I make sure to learn any specific instructions, preferences, or important details before providing care. I never assume I know what’s best for someone else’s pet and always follow the owner’s guidance closely. My goal is to provide consistent, personalized care so each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away. In my own home I will still ensure I follow the owners guidance of their pet and ensure they are happy and comfortable in my home with my dog and cats!

“Sara was absolutely wonderful with Beans and Bogey. It was clear right away that she genuinely cares about animals. She didn’t just stop in to feed them and scoop litter — she took real time to pet them, play with them, and give them attention, which made such a difference. She also sent pictures every day, which I really appreciated and found incredibly reassuring. Both cats clearly loved her, and that gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She also went above and beyond with the practical things, including changing the bag in the Litter Champ multiple times without being asked. That level of care and thoughtfulness really stood out. I felt completely confident knowing my cats were in such kind, attentive hands. I would absolutely book Sara again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who treats your pets like their own.”
