Dog Sitting Saint Pete Beach

About: Hi! I’m currently finishing my certification with CATCH Canine Trainers Academy (positive reinforcement), and I am a soon to be working closely with an experienced trainer. I am good at reading dog body language and helping dogs feel safe and relaxed in my home. As a semi-retired teacher, I’m home throughout the day and structure my time around walks, enrichment, play, and rest, so visiting dogs naturally become part of a predictable, low-stress routine. As a semi-retired teacher, I structure my day around walks, playtime, enrichment, and quiet rest periods, so visiting or boarding dogs easily fold into that routine. I’m home throughout the day, which helps me give lots of attention and keep a calm, predictable environment. My home fully fenced with plenty of sectioned off spaces including a small pool for any dog who loves a little structured swim time - calling all Goldens and Labs!! 🤿💦🐟🏊 For dogs who enjoy activity, I offer: *Supervised yard play and enrichment *Optional splash/play time in the pool (weather permitting & always supervised) Snuffle mats, puzzle games, and structured downtime.

“Kristen was so wonderful with our 2 kitties! She was incredibly thorough in her initial visit, ensuring the kitties were comfortable with her. I would absolutely ask Kristen to watch our babes again!!”

“Alison is amazing with our pitty, Sadie has always had anxiety issues and with only 2 drop in visits Sadie is giving her kisses and warming up so much to her. We are so thankful we have found Alison to be part of our babies life's”

About: I have always had pets in my home, like dogs and/or cats, when I was in highschool many family friends and neighbors trusted me to pet sit for them while they would be away for a week or two. I would stay and play with the pets, feed them, and provide fresh water every day, go on walks, and keep in touch with the owners. I am in college and I work in a lab that cares for crested geckos where I feed them, and look at their environment levels (e.g. humidity) to make sure they are healthy! Caring for animals always brightens my day and I would be happy to care for your furry (or not) babies whether you are at work, or going on a trip! For the summer I am not in school, but I am doing participating in my lab for internship credits with this my schedule is pretty open on weekends and weekdays so I would be able to spend time with your pets however long they want or need! I would be able to do home visits, including drop-ins, staying etc. Whatever you feel comfortable with. I would follow what your pet needs like what kind of food, if there is any medications, any kinds of routines they have, etc. What I provide will depending on what the pet needs, like if they are an older dog or a couch potato I can do a slow walk or just chill and be a couch potato. Or if they are a very active pet I will dedicate play time or outside time. I would also be in contact with the owner if anything alarming occurs or even just a picture of your pet.

“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. 🥰”

“Mary was great! She came in for 2 hours for a drop by to hangout with our senior dog. She messaged me when she had questions, and send lots of pictures, which we LOVE!! We had a FaceTime meet before and it was great. Would recommend :)”

“I cannot recommend Tessa highly enough! From the moment we first reached out, her responsiveness was exceptional. Appointment requests were always answered within minutes, making scheduling incredibly easy and stress-free. One of our biggest concerns was having someone we could truly trust in our home—and this sitter exceeds all expectations. She respected our space, kept everything tidy, and we always felt completely comfortable knowing our dog was in such capable and reliable hands. What truly sets Tessa apart is her remarkable attentiveness to our dog’s special needs. Our aging Weimaraner has a unique diet and medication schedule and some specific behavioral quirks, but Tessa took the time to learn every detail and made sure our dog felt happy and safe. We regularly received thoughtful updates, photos, and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while away. If you’re searching for a quick-to-respond, trustworthy, and attentive pet sitter, look no further. Our experience has been nothing short of outstanding!”

About: Having pets for over 25 years, and having done a lot of pet sitting for others, has taught me what unconditional love is. I am committed to understanding what each individual pet needs and wants and I tailor my attention to every pet accordingly. Long walks for dogs ✅ shorter walks ✅ playtime ✅ lots of cuddles ✅ no cuddles, no problem ✅ I am here to care for animals the way they like, as it is all about them. I always walk the dogs at their pace and they can stop and sniff as much as they want ❤️ Working for myself, and two days part-time outside my home, offers ample time to care for your pet, whether in your home or mine. I have a big yard for your puppers to play and take long walks everyday...I would love to have your dog along on my neighborhood treks. I also like to load them up in the truck and drive to new, unexplored parts of town...new sights and sounds and smells to keep our awareness sharp.

“Ivy is the best- such a great rover experience! I can tell she really put in the time and care for Cowboy :)”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience and genuine love for dogs. I’ve had dogs of many different breeds my entire life, which has given me a deep understanding of their personalities and needs. I also worked in a shelter, where I cared for over 50 dogs, so I’m comfortable handling different temperaments, energy levels, and special situations. I’m patient, attentive, and truly committed to making every dog feel safe, loved, and understood. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior dog who needs extra care, I adapt to each pet’s unique needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I structure my day to make sure pets get regular walks, feeding, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I’m flexible with my schedule, which allows me to adapt to each pet’s needs—whether that means early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening care. I also make sure to dedicate quality time so pets feel comfortable, safe, and not alone. Caring for pets isn’t just something I fit in—it’s something I genuinely prioritize and enjoy every day. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I always follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. In my home, I make sure pets have a clean, comfortable space where they can relax and feel secure. I give them plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, while also respecting their individual personality and energy level. In a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their pet’s routine consistent to reduce stress. I’m very respectful of the home, keep everything clean, and make sure pets feel safe and cared for while their owner is away. I also pay close attention to behavior and health, and I’m comfortable caring for puppies, active dogs, and seniors who may need extra patience and care.

We can play and walk and relax. Build fun schedules! I have a fenced in yard to play in. I also am happy to housesit in your home. I will be sure to keep an eye on them at all times.

About: I volunteered at Asheville Humane Society for 4 years and worked with all kinds of dogs and cats. I helped with walks, playtime, and basic care, and got used to handling different energy levels and personalities. It made me comfortable reading them and helping them feel safe. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I’m currently doing school online and have a very flexible schedule. I’m home most of the day, so I have plenty of time for walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins, and can give pets consistent attention throughout the day. I make sure pets feel safe and stick to their usual routine. At my home, I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time and always keep an eye on them. In a client’s home, I follow whatever routine they’re used to—feeding, walks, and any specific instructions—so they stay comfortable and well cared for.

“Sam did a wonderful job watching my two cats. She even got my shy boy to come out from hiding. It made me so happy to know he was being taken care of too. Will definitely use her again. Thanks!”

About: Animals are my life and I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was a child. Seeing an animal happy and well cared for is one of my greatest achievements. I have adhered to strict feeding schedules, performed light grooming responsibilities, and am capable of administering medication as needed. You will return with a happy pet and a clean home free of any pet messes. Exercise is an important part of your pet's long term happiness and health, so I provide leashed walks, and play dates at various locations such as the beach, nature preserves, and parks. Friends and family have always relied on me to feed, walk, bathe, and entertain their fur babies. Pet care is my full time profession, I'm available throughout the day, evenings, weekends, as well as holidays for all of your pet care needs. I live in a condo community and have a friendly Shih Tzu/Chihuahua mix dog that loves to have visitors. We have a community beach that allows dogs on the beach, which is great for those dogs who love the water!

“The pets love Mary Anna and she did a great job. She went beyond my basic request to just let the dogs out by giving the pets extra attention and play time. Will be using her again!”

About: I love dogs...they make me smile and I think they are the most devoted friends! Making them happy, makes me happy. seeing their tail wag is such a good feeling. I enjoy their company and I haven't met a dog I don't like. Whether we are playing walking feeding bathing or just relaxing together are all highlights to spending time with animals. They truly are special and I love being around them as much as I can.
